But the Nine River Sacred Realm allowed him to freely experiment with techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dao of Birth and Death—the realm of the Dao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng summoned a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Centered on himself, the Dao of Birth and Death activated, forming its own vast rule system and a boundless domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The domain was heavy, its aura terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Supreme Divine King entered this domain, he would be reduced to dust instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Merely by thought, the domain formed naturally by the Dao of Birth and Death… is already several degrees stronger than my ‘Indestructible Blood Sea Body’s’ blood sea domain.” Luo Feng marveled, then casually pointed a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One finger—concentrating the power of birth and death into a single point—pierced through layers of space, even revealing faint glimpses of immense mysterious patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine River Sacred Realm was specially fortified, trapping countless low-level Hunyuan lifeforms here; Luo Feng could not shatter the world’s membrane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A casual finger-point is already stronger than my full power before seclusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly demonstrating a few techniques, Luo Feng had confirmed his current level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Divine Emperor Early Stage ‘Dao of Birth and Death’ should rival ordinary Divine Emperor Late Stage cultivators who have awakened their Dao.” Luo Feng concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Supreme Divine King level, the Dao of Birth and Death already contained nine powerful branches—its power alone could bridge a major realm to rival a Divine Emperor Early Stage Dao-awakened cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Emperor Early Stage ‘Dao of Birth and Death’ rivals ordinary paths at the Divine Emperor Late Stage. This was within Luo Feng’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mere synergy of Divine Emperor Early Stage Life and Destruction alone grants power comparable to a Divine Emperor Mid-Stage Dao-awakened cultivator. If fully fused into one, the power would naturally grow further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By using the Supreme Divine King ‘Dao of Birth and Death’ as a foundation, and drawing upon Life and Destruction at the Divine Emperor Early Stage as nourishment—while absorbing scattered insights of Life and Destruction—I finally achieved perfect fusion, elevating the Dao of Birth and Death to the Divine Emperor Early Stage.” Luo Feng felt it had been no easy feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Dao paths fused into one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path was arduous—but immensely powerful! Its power ceiling was higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With suitable secret treasures and techniques, I should rival the weaker Elders of Yulan City.” Luo Feng nodded slightly; the Elders of Yulan City varied in strength—some cultivated two Dao paths, others specialized in unique schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through the Dao of Birth and Death, Luo Feng did not leave seclusion—he continued cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In past eons, he had observed countless low-level Hunyuan lifeforms with his “Eye of Birth and Death,” accumulating vast knowledge of Life and Destruction—but before his Dao breakthrough, he dared not advance further on either path, fearing deviation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going astray had severe consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng preferred to move slowly, steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The higher the realm, the more one realizes how shallow one’s understanding is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through the Dao of Birth and Death, Luo Feng’s comprehension of how Life and Destruction should merge deepened, and his cultivation constantly adjusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation was like this—advancing by groping in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life, Destruction, and Birth and Death—mutually verifying and advancing together was the safest path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another ninety eons, the Life path, long steeped in accumulated knowledge, naturally rose to the Divine Emperor Mid-Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another sixty eons later, the Destruction path also reached the Divine Emperor Mid-Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pause for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life and Destruction paths were relatively simple and pure, easier to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After elevating both to the Divine Emperor Mid-Stage, Luo Feng halted. The next focus was to use them as nourishment to push the Dao of Birth and Death to ‘Divine Emperor Mid-Stage.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This step will be difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Life and Destruction grew stronger, the difficulty of fusion increased continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Nine River Sacred Realm, cultivators combining different Dao paths were common—but fusing them into one? Extremely rare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After attempting for a few eons, Luo Feng paused: “The next breakthrough requires immense accumulation. First, I must study the methods of application!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao is the foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Application techniques are the protective methods. Studying these deepens understanding of the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My previous Indestructible Blood Sea Body was crude.” Luo Feng began refining it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Life and Destruction were both at Divine Emperor Early Stage, and the Dao of Birth and Death was only at Supreme Divine King level—he had created the old Indestructible Blood Sea Body by observing the Star Tower and the Indestructible Heart with his Eye of Birth and Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with his realm comprehensively elevated, Luo Feng’s understanding of the Star Tower’s crimson scales and the Indestructible Heart had reached a new height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Indestructible Blood Sea Body was completely transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining techniques was far easier than awakening Dao. Luo Feng spent only three eons to create a new version of the ‘Indestructible Blood Sea Body.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng sat cross-legged atop the boundless sea of blood, which was also part of his body; a layer of crimson scales now covered his skin. “The Indestructible Blood Sea Body—this body now holds a hint of the Indestructible Heart’s mystery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this boundless sea of blood…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng gazed at the vast sea of blood, deep and brimming with infinite life force. “It stems entirely from my contemplation of the Star Tower’s crimson scales.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Tower’s crimson scale, though appearing as a single scale, was in truth an endless crimson sea—its vitality reaching its peak—and this boundless sea had been condensed into a single scale, rendering it indestructible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yuan was right—no elder’s method suits me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The only method suited to me is the one I develop myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I studied the Star Tower’s crimson scales, the Indestructible Heart, the Eye of Birth and Death—and only then did I form my own method. That is what I truly need.” Luo Feng increasingly affirmed this truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a method he forged step by step could grant him absolute mastery of all its mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, only this path offered real hope of escaping the cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating an elder’s method may seem immensely powerful—but is it suited to me? Do I understand why it was built this way? Can such a method truly serve as a foundation to escape the cage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cultivation—every step must be solid.” Luo Feng continued refining other techniques, perfecting the ‘Imitated Eye of Birth and Death,’ and creating complementary combat techniques based on the advantages of the Indestructible Blood Sea Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng stood atop a high tower in Huyang City’s governor’s mansion, gazing at the enormous furry claw that lifted the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s time to take it out of the Source World.” Luo Feng willed it—and the giant furry claw vanished, instantly appearing in his hand, then merging into his right palm, covering it in a layer of furry claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A naturally born secret treasure—indeed extraordinary.” Luo Feng felt its terrifying destructive power—its claws could tear through all things, and also envelop and capture enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such naturally born secret treasures were never sold in Yulan City of the Nine River Sacred Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one appeared, even the Elders would fight over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With my current strength, I now have the capability to take the Indestructible Heart and the naturally born secret treasure ‘Palace of the Palm’ out of the Source World.” Luo Feng thought—Star Tower and the Eye of Birth and Death could not be taken beyond the Source World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for secret treasures like the Indestructible Heart and Palace of the Palm—though still precious—those of the Two Nations’ Founders, if lucky, could obtain one or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elders of Yulan City in the Nine River Sacred Realm mostly came from the Source World; they possessed body-splitting techniques and opportunities—and most had acquired treasures like the Indestructible Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they either left such treasures in their homelands or carried them into the Dark Sacred Realm—why would they leave them in Yulan City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huyang City silently settled onto the earth without causing any disturbance; most inhabitants remained unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few residents noticed the five towering mountain ranges outside the city had vanished, and were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are the five mountain ranges?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did the giant claw go?” Cultivators within the city gradually noticed—especially the guards atop the city walls, who panicked and urgently reported upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng, standing atop the governor’s mansion, flipped his hand and retrieved his array diagram treasure: “This Dao of Birth and Death Array Diagram holds little meaning for me now.” Using the array diagram as the core, he arranged a simple auxiliary array, drawing in heavenly and earthly forces to form an energy cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavenly and earthly energies naturally circulated, centered on the diagram, easily reaching the Origin Continent’s power ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black and white energy currents swirled around Huyang City, making the city flicker in and out of view within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast Dao of Birth and Death array had formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master.” Mo Luo Sa appeared before Luo Feng. “What happened to Huyang City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just replaced the guarding array.” Luo Feng smiled. “Maintain the city’s previous management rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa glanced at Luo Feng’s now-furry right hand and understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo Luo Sa, some guests have arrived. Step aside.” Luo Feng ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Mo Luo Sa immediately replied—he sensed five aura signatures had reached the outskirts of Huyang City, held back by the Dao of Birth and Death Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng gazed at the five figures outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Feng, Lei Ting, the Time-Space Demon, the Lord of the Two Realms, and the Master of the Ten Thousand Methods had all arrived. They watched Luo Feng from afar, all with goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen.” Luo Feng smiled and gestured—the black and white energy currents parted, naturally forming a path to the governor’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had prepared fruits and fine wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! As soon as we sensed your naturally born treasure being retracted, we all came.” The Time-Space Demon laughed. The five powerful figures took only a few steps and arrived at the governor’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six strongest beings of the Origin Continent stood together—each would be an Elder in Yulan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Brother,” the Master of the Ten Thousand Methods smiled. “You’ve retracted your naturally born treasure—planning to take it beyond the Source World? I advise against it. Such treasures attract theft once taken outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. You’ve cultivated too briefly. Your strength is too weak. You won’t be able to protect such a treasure.” The Lord of the Two Realms said. “Only we five would trade fairly with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My strength is weak?
