Chapter 751: Contradiction

"Ah, what an unambitious man." Da Bai showed contempt toward him.

This big bird is a chatterbox; once released, it never stops talking. If Xiao Feng has a question, it answers; if he has none, it proactively creates a problem and then answers, its desire to express itself extremely strong.

After being subdued, its hostility basically subsided; aside from being rather annoying, it is acceptable in all other aspects.

Xiao Feng devoted some attention to chatting with it, learning some information about the strong ones in the Nine Provinces World and the Myriad Heavens World.

Most of his energy was spent contemplating the Dao of All Beings.

Getting started with the Dao of All Beings is easy, but wanting to master its profound depths is difficult.

The myriad beings of the universe are endless, all within the Heavenly Dao. This "Dao of All Beings" does not embody a single rule; it contains multiple rule variations such as life, death, growth, and so on, thus giving rise to the three representative skills of healing, increasing defense, and balancing all beings.

【Equality of All Beings】The core effect of this Secret Art is "balance": it averages out the strength of all surrounding characters, making everyone's power level the same, then ranks them by actual combat ability.

This requires a deep understanding of the Dao of All Beings; Xiao Feng has only just begun, so he cannot yet execute it.

Experiencing each layer of the Ninefold Heavenly Dao is a very lengthy process; it cannot be mastered in just a few days or months.

The "Dao of All Beings" requires observing the breathing and growth–decline of all things to comprehend the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao, thereby understanding the rules of life's changes.

All beings start from insignificance, gradually growing from weak to strong.

Even one as mighty as the Creator God is not born as such; one must grow, accumulating bit by bit until reaching the peak.

A single blade of grass may initially be insignificant, snapping with a light bend.

But if it absorbs boundless divine power and awakens wisdom, it can become a god‑like existence among plant life, even a mighty being of the level of a chief god or god‑king!

Even an ant is originally a tiny creature, possibly accidentally crushing a few while walking.

But if they possessed divine power, relying on their innate racial talent, they could become infinitely strong, able to shake heaven and earth!

Humans are no different!

Ordinary people find it hard to lift a hundred‑catty stone, but a trained martial artist can bear a thousand‑catty load!

Once one becomes a god, they can even unleash a force of tens of millions of tons with a single punch!

All these differences in strength actually come down to the amount of energy!

The stronger a being, the more energy it has; the less energy a being has, naturally it is—

weaker.

Conversely, to become stronger is to constantly absorb energy, continually strengthening oneself through food and cultivation!

Xiao Feng's strength reached level 300, his abundant energy already meeting the entry standard for the Dao of All Beings.

He can release his abundant energy to heal himself or others' injuries, and also use it to boost defense.

The Dao of All Beings, put simply, is the understanding and application of energy and living beings.

Xiao Feng already learned this principle at the time of inheritance.

But saying it is easy, doing it is hard; in a short time he can accomplish little, needing day‑and‑night contemplation and repeated practice to become ever more proficient.

【Equality of All Beings】This Secret Art, moreover, requires continued contemplation for a long time before it can be mastered.

……

Xiao Feng, while contemplating the Dao and chatting idly with Da Bai, unknowingly passed over an hour.

During this period, he received a message transmitted by Mi.

Mi told him that the Blood Armor King had already entered the palace to see her, inquiring why she had released Xiao Feng.

The Blood Armor King attached great importance to this matter; previously he refrained from intervening because he knew the Female War God Mi also felt extreme fury over the death of the Overlord Blaze King and was determined to kill Xiao Feng.

I had thought that even if Xiao Feng weren't beaten to submission, he should at least be suffering torment.

As it turned out, he was released without charge—and it was Mi herself who set him free!

This left the Blood Armor King baffled, so he personally went to her door to inquire.

Mi's reply was simple: it was the reason they had agreed upon earlier in the death cell.

Upon hearing this, the Blood Armor King did not believe it.

He thought Mi had been deceived, wanted to go confront Xiao Feng, demand an explanation, investigate thoroughly, and seek justice for the fallen Overlord Blaze King!

If Xiao Feng truly hadn't killed the Overlord Blaze King, he would surely not fear his questioning and could explain it face to face.

If he dared not, then he must have a guilty conscience!

However, Mi stopped this from happening.

It wasn't because she feared Xiao Feng would reveal his flaws.

Mainly, she feared that in a fit of anger Xiao Feng might kill the Blood Armor King……

In order to dissuade her loyal Blood Armor King and protect this three‑dynasty elder, Mi unleashed the authority of the Lord of the War God State, ordering the Blood Armor King and others not to interfere any further in matters concerning Xiao Feng, to be handled by herself!

She rarely issued such commanding orders to the Blood Armor King, and all the ministers who had entered the palace together were greatly surprised.

Mi's reaction was somewhat abnormal,

Everyone realized the situation was probably more complicated than they had imagined; Xiao Feng might not only be deceiving their sovereign, but also pose a threat!

The enraged Blood Armor King then declared he would fight Xiao Feng to the death.

But Mi still called him to a halt.

Under the sovereign's strong command, the Blood Armor King sighed three times in succession, then left the palace full of sorrow and worry.

Xiao Feng did not personally witness any of this.

However, from the message sent by Mi, one could also sense the Blood Armor King's loyalty.

Having such a loyal minister under his loyal maidservant still made him feel quite relieved.

But if he were required to confront the Blood Armor King face to face, he would also refuse.

The reason is simple—he finds it troublesome!

Talking and explaining is a damned hassle; with that spare time, it would be better to properly study skills and temper one's will!

Since Mi has already settled the matter of his "crime," he can now rest easy while slowly awaiting the arrival of the Wild Chief God, the "Furious Annihilation Barbarian God."

Xiao Feng took out the food and drink he had previously bought at the war tavern, to feed Da Bai.

While also cultivating the Ninefold Heavenly Dao, he could occasionally eat a couple of tasty bites, drink a little fine wine, and experience the leisurely life in the game.

Friends on his friend list occasionally send messages to chat with him a few lines, passing the time.

One day passed, and the Frenzied Extermination Barbarian God still hadn't arrived.

Xiao Feng then made a trip to Zhu Shen Da Lu, spending one minute, and turned the Judgement's base in the lower realm into level 2.

He then quickly returned to Shen Jie, continuing to quietly cultivate in the small courtyard of the War Divine Kingdom Palace City, and incidentally nurtured the Chaos Tree.

Unbeknownst to him, another day passed.

The Frenzied Extermination Barbarian God still had not appeared, and the Judgement Guild's base in Shen Jie had not immediately repurchased, unknown whether they were out of money or something else.

Xiao Feng once again went to Zhu Shen Da Lu, reducing the Judgement's lower realm guild to level 1, only needing one more wave to completely destroy it.

When he returned to Shen Jie and was about to accompany the nurturing of the Chaos Tree, Mi suddenly told him: "Master, the Heart of the Divine Kingdom just sent a warning; the Frenzied Extermination Barbarian God may be coming soon!"

"Oh? Finally here!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's mood greatly improved.

After waiting two days, the damn thing finally came to seek death!

"You face him head-on, I'll shoot him from behind!" he replied, stating a simple yet brutal battle plan.
