Chapter 159: The Path Confirmed

In the treasure land "Infinite Space," Luo Feng flew as a streak of light, his speed hundreds of times faster than when he first entered Infinite Space—and this was merely his normal travel pace.

"In this treasure land, every area with a decent number of native creatures has been claimed. To carve out my own territory, I must go to the most remote and desolate regions." Luo Feng chose a direction and pressed forward.

In areas teeming with native creatures, a single region might host over a hundred, enough for multiple Divine Kings to jointly seize.

In remote, desolate zones, an entire vast stretch might hold only one or two native creatures. Too few to be worth sharing—perfect for solo occupation.

The greatest danger of solo occupation? … Encountering other powerful beings who seek to seize it.

Only under Di Ming's protection did Luo Feng cultivate in seclusion for a hundred eons before venturing out alone.

Huh!

"Luo He? This is the imperial territory of the Yanfeng Ancient Nation. Please leave."

"This is the imperial domain of the Lei Ting Ancient Nation!"

"Leave at once."

Along the way, Luo Feng avoided territories dominated by major powers. Whenever he brushed against vast consciousnesses, he was warned and driven off. He never again encountered anyone as benevolent as Di Ming, willing to grant him land.

After flying for a long time, he finally reached his destination.

"Baiwu Lake!"

Luo Feng gazed at the vast, endless lake ahead, shrouded in mist.

"Baiwu Lake is immense. In its earliest days, it once hosted over a hundred native creatures. Later, the monarch of the Lei Ting Ancient Nation seized it alone, causing the native population to dwindle steadily. Now, the entire lake likely holds only a handful left."

This land had been contested by many factions. With too few creatures and too vast an area, major powers lost interest—only solitary wanderers like Luo Feng valued it.

"Begin a full survey of Baiwu Lake!"

"Shengsheng Bumie! Divide!"

At Luo Feng's thought, nine clones emerged, each flying in different directions, meticulously scanning the mist-laden air for native creatures.

In Infinite Space, the nineteen primordial Dao paths are forbidden. To unleash true power, one must forge a new path of one's own.

Over these hundred eons, Luo Feng has been attempting to forge the Dao of Life and Destruction.

His progress has been astonishing—far faster than his earlier cultivation of the Life or Destruction primordial Dao paths.

Several factors contributed to this rapid advancement.

First, Luo Feng had already reached the peak of Chaos with both Life and Destruction. With such deep foundations, merging them into the "Dao of Life and Destruction" came naturally.

Second, deep within his heart, Luo Feng had always believed "Life and Destruction are one"—this was the path his soul had chosen.

When he attained Eternal True Godhood, his awakening centered on the source of Life and Destruction.

His first Chaos-level technique, forged in that moment, was the fusion of Life and Destruction: the sword art "Lianxin."

Yet since the Supreme Rules contained no "Dao of Life and Destruction," Luo Feng temporarily set it aside to focus on the two existing paths. After all, Life and Destruction primordial Dao paths were real, observable, and cultivable.

In Luo Feng's heart, both were merely foundations, mere fuel—ultimately meant to forge his own "Dao of Life and Destruction."

"The Dao of Life and Destruction is truly far stronger."

With no clear primordial Dao to reference, Luo Feng followed his inner conviction, blending insights from Life and Destruction—and naturally unlocked many new techniques.

"I've been on the Origin Continent for roughly one hundred and sixty eons. These past hundred eons have been my deepest period of accumulation." Luo Feng knew his progress well.

The Dao of Life and Destruction is an evolved fusion of Life and Destruction, inheriting the strengths of both.

But its flaw is clear: without a defined Dao, Luo Feng did not know what its branches looked like. He had already unlocked multiple Divine King-level secret arts under the Dao of Life and Destruction—his accumulation now surpassed even Life and Destruction—but he still lacked mastery of any complete branch of the "Dao of Life and Destruction."

The six branches of Life and the six branches of Destruction? He could clearly perceive them, with definite directions.

Luo Feng felt that if he deliberately tried, he could become a Divine King within a single eon.

Yet Luo Feng had patience. He followed the guidance of the creator of "The World Living Entity"—training his insight as the foundation, endlessly accumulating until breakthrough came naturally.

He did not force breakthrough.

"The circumstances of Infinite Space have allowed me to awaken the Dao of Life and Destruction earlier."

"Clearly, the Dao of Life and Destruction… is far better suited to me than Life or Destruction."

Luo Feng had long suspected this—he had always believed "Life and Destruction are one"; without either, the whole was incomplete.

These hundred eons of cultivation proved it: the Dao of Life and Destruction, though started late, overtook the others.

Without clear secret arts, without a defined Dao to study—his power under the Dao of Life and Destruction already surpassed the other two.

"This proves one thing: the path most suited to you is the fastest." Luo Feng thought. Divine Kings usually focus on a single primordial Dao; few ever cultivate two.

Every cultivator has their own inner cognition.

Some inner beliefs reject certain Dao paths entirely—even despise them. Forcing oneself to study them yields abysmal efficiency.

Like Shan Ke, he walked his own path. He never once felt drawn to mastering the Original Universe or confronting the Life primordial Dao. "Survey complete."

Using his clone technique, Luo Feng had finally surveyed Baiwu Lake. "Currently, two Divine Kings each occupy part of the lake. Beyond their territories… there are three native creatures, all far apart."

"Of these three, two are ordinary—similar to those I've fought before. One is extremely powerful; it took my Lieyuan Technique and suffered only minor injury."

The three native creatures: one strong, two weak.

Luo Feng was quite satisfied—he desired stronger mental beings to hone himself.

"These three will do."

Though the three native creatures were distant, Luo Feng decided to claim them all: "I will use my clone technique to claim each of their territories separately."

Luo Feng's true body and two clones now scattered, each claiming one native creature.

In the Yanfeng Ancient Nation, Fengzhang City—also the ancestral land of the Wang Clan's Zhang family, where generations of descendants had thrived.

"Hahaha, Brother Luo Sa, please."

Inside a grand hall of the Zhang family, its core elites hosted Mo Luo Sa and Mo Yu Qingyan in a grand banquet. "Yun Ge becoming a partner to Mo Yu Qingyan is a blessed union between our Zhang family and Grand Sage Luo He."

!.

Inside the hall.

Both Chaos Sovereigns of the Zhang family appeared, seated alongside Mo Luo Sa at the main table. The three Chaos-level beings chatted merrily, in perfect harmony.

"Qingyan is my master's disciple—and also my disciple," Mo Luo Sa laughed. "When Yun Ge and Qingyan become partners, he'll be my half-disciple too."

Mo Yu Qingyan and Zhang Yun Ge sat below, both young disciples listening respectfully.

"It seems the negotiations went well," Mo Yu Qingyan thought, pleased.

This was his first visit to the Zhang family—he feared they would oppose the union.

Yet the result? The Zhang family welcomed him warmly.

Though Zhang Yun Ge was from the main lineage of the Wang Clan, the clan's descendants numbered in the millions; she was merely one Eternal True God among over ten thousand, utterly unremarkable.

"I'm not valued in the clan," Zhang Yun Ge whispered. "The fact that both Chaos Sovereigns appeared today? It's because of your status."

The presence of Chaos-level beings was already extraordinary.

As for the Zhang family's highest authority, the Fengzhang Divine King—he was merely a Divine King. The union of two Eternal True God youths was beneath his concern.

Even if Grand Sage Luo He became a Divine King and rose to become a regional overlord, Fengzhang Divine King had no need to flatter him—he too had powerful backing, rooted firmly in the Yanfeng Ancient Nation.

"Qingyan, from now on we're family. Come, drink," Zhang Yun Ge's father said warmly. A mere ordinary Eternal True God, his status in the clan paled beside those of the Law-line Eternal True Gods. Yet today, he shone brightly—both Chaos-level ancestors treated him kindly.

Mo Yu Qingyan showed no arrogance.

He knew his place.

Only through his second master's tireless guidance did he become a Void True God of the Law-line. Later, with resources and aid from his masters, he attained Eternal True Godhood through bloodline cultivation.

In cultivation, he had no real potential. His current status came solely from being the sole disciple of his masters. What was there to be proud of?

Zhang Yun Ge smiled at this sight.

She had chosen Mo Yu Qingyan as her partner. When she first met him in Xiangjie City, managing the Wang Clan's business, he was revered by all, holding immense status.

As they spent more time together, she discovered his humility—and slowly fell for him.

Having reached Eternal True Godhood, she had never taken a partner. Her heart was selective; if none suited her, she preferred solitude.

Mo Yu Qingyan was the same. Both waited until Eternal True Godhood to choose a partner.

…

In the treasure land "Infinite Space," while his disciple prepared to marry, Luo Feng, as his master, focused solely on cultivation. He now sat cross-legged on an island in a lake, practicing the Great Destruction Lianxin Method, purging the spiritual pollution within himself.

"Stronger mental creatures bring stronger pollution."

Luo Feng felt its influence—even when attempting to comprehend Dao, the pollution repeatedly disrupted him.

"Boom—!"

Suddenly, a consciousness brushed against Luo Feng's extended awareness.

"This is my territory. Leave at once," Luo Feng's consciousness transmitted.

"Your territory? I've slain this native elder dozens of times—it's always been mine!" The mental will, equally at Divine King Second Layer, sent back a reply. A towering figure in yellow robes stood in midair far off, gazing coldly at the island. "So you're Grand Sage Luo He? A Chaos-level transcendental dare challenge me? If you don't want to die, get out now!"

Luo Feng looked at him, his eyes turning cold: "Then let me see what tricks you, a Divine King First Layer, possess in this Infinite Space."
