Even with his soul’s strength, it took him a long time to fully memorize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Luo Feng had previously reviewed many descriptions of inheritances and broadened his horizons, now that he truly possessed this inheritance, he still felt stunned. For the first time, he realized just how powerful a true master could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I once faced the Origin Dao of Life itself, feeling it to be the embodiment of the concept of life, supreme and unrivaled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet upon viewing the First Trial of the Eight Trials of Life, even just a glimpse, I could sense... that this creator was far stronger than the complete Origin Dao of Life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This being, seemingly at random, used fragments of the Origin Dao of Life to create, from low to high, various secret arts, then combined them into the First Trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This creation of secret arts carried the sensation of transforming the rotten into the miraculous—this shock surpassed even the awe the Origin Dao of Life had once inspired in Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder peak-level realm beasts are confined only to the First-Class Nation Tianmu; they dare not provoke the two Ancient Nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Luo Feng finished receiving the inheritance and was still stunned, he was teleported out of the Inheritance Hall and appeared at its entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luohe Brother.\" Chu Yu Marquis spotted Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng no longer dwelled on it, immediately saying: \"Chu Yu Brother, I’ve kept you waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not even dark yet—still early.\" Chu Yu Marquis chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, as a guest master, your cave residence, attendants, and all other arrangements have been fully handled by my Chu Imperial line.\" Chu Yu Marquis said, \"Your disciples and servants have already arrived ahead of you at the cave residence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Luo Feng was surprised. He had only just applied for entry into the city—yet his cave residence and attendants were already arranged? The efficiency was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, I’ll take you there.\" Chu Yu Marquis said warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the western district of Chu Capital, Chu Yu Marquis brought Luo Feng to an elegant cave residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding area was utterly tranquil, filled with vast, spacious cave residences inhabited only by high-ranking members of the royal or Wang Zu families, or by beings like Luo Feng who had reached the Chaotic Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is your cave residence,\" Chu Yu Marquis said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng, having received his guest master token, naturally gained control over the cave residence through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From this day forward, this cave residence shall permanently belong to Luohe Brother,\" Chu Yu Marquis smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\" Mo Luo Sa, sensing Luo Feng’s arrival, arrived at the main gate with Mo Yu Qingyan and ten servants to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng and Chu Yu Marquis entered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cave residence for a Chaotic Realm guest master, it spanned over a billion kilometers, its array powerful enough to draw upon a fraction of Chu Capital’s might, ensuring its safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a vast area was not large by Chaotic Realm standards—even cultivators often needed to retreat into space treasures to practice secret arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng was no exception; his divine body, towering like heaven and earth, could not be fully manifested in the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This cave residence’s array can draw upon even a fraction of Chu Capital’s might—I can feel it. Even if I poured out my full strength, I couldn’t shake it.\" As Luo Feng took control of the cave residence, he naturally sensed that faint power—vast and overwhelming, capable of crushing him utterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Capital, after all, was forged by the founding ancestor of my Yanfeng Ancient Nation,\" Chu Yu Marquis smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Chu Yu Brother, there’s one thing I need your help with,\" Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luohe Brother, between us, no need for formalities,\" Chu Yu Marquis chuckled. He had only one guest master—this man was the most vital aid on his cultivation path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng said: \"I have a close friend serving as deputy general in the city guard of Yinjiu City, in the Beijiu Chaotic Province of Yanfeng Ancient Nation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why in such a dangerous frontier region?\" Chu Yu Marquis was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why I need your help to bring him to Chu Capital,\" Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yu Marquis thought for a moment, then said: \"Since he’s your close friend, don’t use official channels. The other first-rank marquises are surely watching me—if they interfere, it’ll be troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll send a squad of my personal guards, bearing my token, to Beijiu Chaotic Province’s Yinjiu City—to directly retrieve the deputy general. As a royal first-rank marquis, I have the right to recruit personal troops. Recruiting a mere deputy general is well within my authority,\" Chu Yu Marquis said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let Luo Sashen accompany them,\" Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng feared unforeseen complications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he, a peak Chaotic Realm guest master, went himself, it would draw suspicion. Sending a servant who appeared to be only an Eternal True God would be inconspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just tell Luo Sashen your friend’s identity—this way, no leaks,\" Chu Yu Marquis said. \"When you reach Yinjiu City, have Luo Sashen lead my guards, bearing my token, to retrieve the deputy general.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think of everything, Chu Yu Brother,\" Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t know how fierce and brutal the competition within the royal family is,\" Chu Yu Marquis shook his head. \"We first-rank marquises dare not kill each other—but our guest masters and subordinates? They die all the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng understood. On the path of Dao cultivation, everything must be fought for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having entered the game, Luo Feng had never feared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though entering carried danger, the rewards were great—like the newly acquired First Trial of the Eight Trials of Life, which alone could transform him utterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mo Luo Sa,\" Luo Feng sent a mental message, \"you will lead a squad of Chu Yu Marquis’s personal guards to Yinjiu City in Beijiu Chaotic Province and bring back Yuan Zu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuan Zu?\" Mo Luo Sa knew the relationship between Luo Feng and Yuan Zu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of all humanity’s souls who had entered the Origin Continent through the Cycle, only Luo Feng and Yuan Zu remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Zu, in lineage, was Luo Feng’s ancestral master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bond was closer than even Mo Luo Sa’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only you and I know Yuan Zu’s true identity,\" Luo Feng sent mentally. \"This mission must remain secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Master,\" Mo Luo Sa replied. \"If any danger arises along the way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Yuan Zu’s life is threatened, you may reveal your Chaotic Realm power,\" Luo Feng replied. \"Ensure his safety at all costs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood. I’ll keep Yuan Zu sealed within a space treasure—only revealing my power if absolutely necessary,\" Mo Luo Sa said. In Yanfeng Ancient Nation, he was extremely cautious—he too waited for his master to grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When conditions were right, revealing his Chaotic Realm power would no longer draw attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa led a squad of Chu Yu Marquis’s personal guards aboard a small starship, quietly departing Chu Capital. The vessel pierced through space at incredible speed, yet still required five days to reach Beijiu Chaotic Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After informing Yuan Zu, Luo Feng closed his eyes that night to begin cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the meditation chamber stood a Star Tower; within its internal space, Luo Feng meditated on the newly acquired First Trial of the Eight Trials of Life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, I was ignorant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This inheritance truly reveals the nature of the Cage World—and hints at what lies beyond it,\" Luo Feng thought. He felt like a human who had first looked up at the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when one looks up at the stars does one realize how vast they are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The vast region governed by the Supreme Rule—the Origin Continent and its surrounding three thousand primal universes—are all part of the Cage World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my world, everything is shaped by the Supreme Rule: the birth of life, entering the Cycle, reincarnation, small universes, lifespan, time flow, spatial stability, divine body tiers—all determined by the Supreme Rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tier of your divine body upon becoming a True God determines your entire future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If your divine body was Infinite upon becoming a True God, then as a Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaotic Realm cultivator, or God King, you would remain an Infinite divine body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If your divine body was Perfect upon becoming a True God, then every subsequent stage would remain Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The size of my divine body, the reserve of my divine power—Infinite divine bodies can change size at will. My Perfect divine body is larger, my divine power purer, and I possess the ability 'Formless and Shapeless.' These abilities—I developed them myself? No! They were granted by the Supreme Rule!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Rule permits the maximum height of your divine body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Rule grants you the ability 'Formless and Shapeless.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Rule ensures that the small universes of Origin Continent cultivators exist within the starry void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything is Rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Formless and Shapeless' is not a power I discovered through my own insight—it is granted by the Supreme Rule,\" Luo Feng thought. \"According to the Eight Trials of Life, truly powerful cultivators begin within the Cage, absorbing its knowledge. But then they must break free of the Cage... all power belongs to the self.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only those who break free of the Cage can claim their strength as their own—derived not from the Supreme Rule, but from the 'Dao' they have mastered themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had once been proud of his Perfect divine body, of his 'Formless and Shapeless' abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, seeing this inheritance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To its creator, all cultivators within the Cage had not yet broken free of the Supreme Rule’s Cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cage comes in two forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is the World Cage—the literal barrier shielding all life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other is the Supreme Rule’s Cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by breaking all Cages and walking the path of 'all power belongs to the self' does one truly tread the path of Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Dao must be forged by oneself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this inheritance—the Eight Trials of Life—is already so extraordinary, what level must the other, more expensive ones reach?\" Luo Feng thought. \"The rulers of Yu Nation and Shi Nation are also guest masters of Yanfeng Ancient Nation—they must have exchanged for powerful inheritances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchanging for an inheritance is one thing; reaching what level through cultivation is another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was somewhat arrogant before.
