According to the rules of the Heritage Hall, the more merit points you possess, the more heritage and resources you may access.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What heritage and resources can I view?” Luo Feng asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With a hundred thousand merit points, you may view all heritage and resources requiring up to one million merit points,” the old man explained. “When your merit points grow larger in the future—for instance, if you reach three million—you will be able to view all resources and heritage requiring up to thirty million merit points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man waved his hand. The boundless chaos around them split: on the left, rows of heritage information appeared; on the right, dense listings of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The heritage information on the left is ranked by required exchange merit points, from highest to lowest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The resource information on the right is also ranked by exchange merit points, highest to lowest. Guest Minister Luo He, you may take your time viewing—there is no time limit. Once you’ve chosen, simply tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded and turned first to the heritage he cared about most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top-ranked heritage: “The First Volume of the Cause-Effect Ash Fire,” exchange cost: one million merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The First Volume of the Cause-Effect Ash Fire” is a lineage of the Cause-Effect Primordial Dao, requiring cultivation through the “Hunyuan Power” beyond the Cage, its power vastly surpassing that of similar-level techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The First Volume of the Eight Scrolls of the Hunyuan Space Residual Array,” exchange cost: one million merit points. This is a fragmented record of an ancient array lineage originating beyond the Cage. The cultivation threshold is extremely high, demanding profound mastery of the “Space Primordial Dao” and deep comprehension of Hunyuan Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Upper Chapter of the Earth’s Song,” exchange cost: one million merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must first exchange for the Hunyuan material “Earth Scale” before cultivation can begin, and you must comprehend the “Earth Primordial Dao.” Among the Primordial Daos contained in the Supreme Rule of our Cage world, there is no “Earth Primordial Dao.” Choose carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The First Layer of the Three Treasures Body,” exchange cost: one million merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must first exchange for the Hunyuan material “Three Treasures Heart” before cultivation can begin, requiring comprehension of the “Life Primordial Dao” and extremely high mental willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each heritage description was extremely detailed: the exchange cost of required Hunyuan materials, which branch of the corresponding Primordial Dao must be comprehended, the intensity of mental willpower required, cultivation environment demands, and auxiliary material requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All included warnings to encourage cautious selection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Yan Feng Ancient Nation, clearly, any heritage that utilizes Hunyuan Power—or Hunyuan materials—is immensely powerful, and demands extremely high exchange merit points,” Luo Feng realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These heritages, upon initial entry, can enable one to transcend the Chaos Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one reaches the God-King level, they can still tower over peers of the same rank, wielding strange and unfathomable methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal God-King-level methods rely on the ordinary forces within the Cage. These methods rely on Hunyuan Power and Hunyuan materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether it’s the Origin Continent or the ‘Three Thousand Dimensions’ surrounding it, all operate under the Supreme Rule,” Luo Feng understood after studying these detailed descriptions. “The entire vast world governed by the Supreme Rule is like a Cage! Beyond the Cage lies a broader realm, where the flowing power is Hunyuan Power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunyuan Power is a far more mysterious force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only through special methods can one access it in the Chaos Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder outsiders speculate that the two Founders of Yan Feng Ancient Nation and Lei Ting Ancient Nation may both have broken the Cage,” Luo Feng thought. “Seeing these heritages and resources, anyone would guess the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet neither of the two ancient nations had ever confirmed this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those Hunyuan materials are also extremely expensive,” Luo Feng observed the resources on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ranked first: “Hunyuan Crystal,” exchange cost: one million merit points. Hunyuan Crystals contain purified “Hunyuan Power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ranked second: direct exposure to the “Time Primordial Dao” for one ji, exchange cost: 900,000 merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ranked third: direct exposure to the other eight Primordial Daos within the Supreme Rule—for one ji each—exchange cost: 800,000 merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within Yan Feng Founder’s domain, there are methods to allow descendants to directly face all nine Primordial Daos of the Supreme Rule?” Luo Feng silently marveled. Even one ji costs eight or nine hundred thousand merit points, yet he himself could permanently face the Life Primordial Dao—he held a clear advantage here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth: complete corpse of a Blood Armor Beetle, exchange cost: eight hundred thousand merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth: a sword, God-King-tier weapon, exchange cost: eight hundred thousand merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixth: Shadowless Treasure Herb. Consuming this herb makes one a favored child of the Boundless Primordial Dao; its duration depends on soul strength. Exchange cost: eight hundred thousand merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventh: Hunyuan material “Three Treasures Heart,” exchange cost: eight hundred thousand merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng studied them carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had only a hundred thousand merit points and could not afford the higher-cost items, the sheer volume of heritages and resources broadened his horizons, giving him a clearer understanding of the power of ancient God-Kings and Chaos Realm transcendents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yan Feng Ancient Nation is deliberately doing this—letting every new Guest Minister see these. To make them all strive harder to accumulate merit points,” Luo Feng mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng slowly studied the vast array of heritages and information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the required merit points decreased, the heritages and resources gradually became “ordinary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This lowest-ranked heritage has some connection to me,” Luo Feng noticed at once. The last one was titled “Mind Shadow Art,” a God-King-level heritage, the core transmission of the Mind Shadow Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its inclusion by Yan Feng Ancient Nation proved its merit. According to the detailed description, “Mind Shadow Art” excels in survival, which is why it was accepted. “Ordinary God-King-level heritages cost ten thousand merit points,” Luo Feng noted. Many such heritages were priced at ten thousand, each possessing some notable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to examine heritages of the Life Spirit lineage, and the Destruction—Slash Lineage,” Luo Feng searched for what he needed and began studying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were nine God-King-level heritages in the Life Spirit lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowest: ten thousand merit points. Highest: one hundred thousand merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A heritage of just one branch of the Life Dao? It still costs one hundred thousand merit points?” Luo Feng examined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The First Jie of the Eight-Jie Life Body,” exchange cost: 100,000 merit points. The First Jie requires prior mastery of the “Life Spirit,” “Life Source,” and “Life Body” lines—each must be perfected before attempting the First Jie. Cultivation difficulty is extreme. Once completed, every unit of one’s power contains consciousness, enabling effortless creation of “avatars.” One’s body becomes like a vast world, immensely powerful and unshakable, with infinite vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng studied the detailed description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avatars? Infinite vitality? Body like a world, unshakable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The avatars alone drew Luo Feng’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among ancient God-Kings, possessing avatars was exceedingly rare. Heritages capable of producing avatars were extremely uncommon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the description, once the First Jie is completed, direct combat power is only slightly stronger than peers of the same level, but survival ability surpasses even many God-King Second Stage cultivators,” Luo Feng was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had studied many heritage descriptions and now understood the God-King cultivation path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-Kings are divided into three stages by realm. Those newly entering the God-King level, and most ordinary God-Kings, are First Stage. The vast majority of ancient God-Kings on the Origin Continent remain at God-King First Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-King First Stage does not mean weak! It depends on the path and method cultivated. For example, once the First Jie of the “Eight-Jie Life Body” is completed, one gains avatars—and each avatar is harder to kill than many God-King Second Stage cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, other paths have their own advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the advantage of the Life Primordial Dao, and the ‘Eight-Jie Life Body’ method is exceptionally strong,” Luo Feng observed from the description. “Though it does not use Hunyuan Power or Hunyuan materials, its cultivation difficulty is extremely high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other methods: one line perfected, and one becomes a God-King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method requires all three Life Dao lines perfected before attempting the First Jie’s final cultivation—and only then is the First Jie considered complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder the Snow Realm Founder never dies…” Luo Feng looked at the Life Dao methods. The Snow Realm Founder likely mastered some powerful Life Primordial Dao heritage—making him incredibly hard to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is only the First Jie. There are still Second Jie and Third Jie to come. And the creator of this heritage must have had extremely high cultivation. With his insight, the foundation of this heritage is undoubtedly flawless.” Luo Feng, merely from the description, felt that even among the highest God-King First Stage heritages, the “Eight-Jie Life Body” First Jie was incomparably stronger than the “Mind Shadow Art.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within my one hundred thousand merit point limit, the ‘Eight-Jie Life Body’ First Jie is the best Life Spirit method I can exchange for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Its only flaw is slightly weaker combat power,” Luo Feng thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating all three Life Dao lines to perfection before completing the First Jie grants only a slight edge over ordinary God-King First Stage cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If cultivated purely along one line, the Life Dao generally has weaker combat power than other Daos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Destruction Dao, however, has immense destructive power,” Luo Feng also studied Destruction Dao heritages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yan Feng Ancient Nation, the Destruction Dao’s Slash Lineage is called the “Sky-Splitting Lineage,” aiming to cleave open the entire world’s Cage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky-Splitting Lineage heritages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheaper ones cost one or two ten thousand merit points—even if one completes the Sky-Splitting Lineage, one cannot cleave the world’s Cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This one—‘Seven-Two Slash Annihilation’…” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. This sword technique deeply attracted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The First Volume of Seven-Two Slash Annihilation,” exchange cost: ninety thousand merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Sky-Splitting Lineage is perfected, one may potentially master the “Sky-Splitting Sword Art’s Three Forms,” capable of carving a fissure in the Cage’s membrane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Dark Sky Lineage is perfected, one may potentially master the “Dark Sky Sword Art’s Three Forms,” with terrifying power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If both lines are perfected, one may potentially master the “First Three Slashes of Annihilation,” with devastating attack power, capable of fighting beyond one’s level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This sword technique is entirely offensive—no survival techniques at all,” Luo Feng was satisfied. His Life Dao already provided sufficient survival capability—he needed overwhelming offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a God-King First Stage method requires ninety thousand merit points. This ‘Seven-Two Slash Annihilation’ has an unusual origin,” Luo Feng deduced from the description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad I can only exchange for one right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng glanced aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many resources on the side were also tempting—for example: viewing a single “Shadow of the Catastrophe Beast,” cost: one hundred thousand merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Shadow of the Catastrophe Beast” is the true image of the Catastrophe Beast from the “Catastrophe Beast Map.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too poor. Too poor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng thought for a moment. “My deepest accumulation is in the Life Spirit Lineage—my many transformation techniques form the core of my strength. I’ll exchange for the ‘Eight-Jie Life Body’ First Jie first. As for the Destruction Primordial Dao’s ‘Seven-Two Slash Annihilation,’ I’ll wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His “Nine Slash Breakthrough” has not yet been perfected—it’s sufficient for his current cultivation. He’ll come back for this sword technique once he accumulates more merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Di Chu Palace artifact spirit waited patiently beside him. Guest Ministers always meticulously studied every heritage and resource on their first visit—he was long accustomed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wish to exchange for the ‘Eight-Jie Life Body’ First Jie,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artifact spirit, slightly surprised: “Guest Minister Luo He, are you certain you will use your entire one hundred thousand merit point quota for this single heritage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had long struggled without a detailed lineage of the primordial Dao, yet this one contained the Three Veins of Life’s Primordial Dao, with an exceptionally solid foundation—far surpassing the lineages of my Master, the Mountain Guest, and the Broken East River by an incalculable margin; no wonder everyone sought to become a guest minister of the Two Ancient Kingdoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2139,"2026-06-20T20:44:59.403Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b5b76f5565ccdd00a3e10999e66194cd02e933065c0b72f2871ba46c24790cff","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-111","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-109",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
