Zhenyan King, Tonnan King, and Lonyu King saw a group of young people arrive at the island and couldn’t help but laugh. At the same time, they directly left the virtual universe and disappeared.
“Mr. Bafen,” Wuka shouted repeatedly, “Has Luo Feng passed the third level?”
A group of young people from various human races gazed at Bafen, the guardian.
“Yes,” Guardian Bafen smiled, “Just now.”
“What about the fourth level?” the savage warrior Ronjun asked. Instantly, the surrounding youths held their breath. Luo Feng passing the third level already made them look up in awe—if he passed the fourth, the entire group might collapse mentally.
The gap shouldn’t be this extreme!
“He didn’t succeed,” Guardian Bafen said.
“Good.”
Everyone exhaled in relief—at least this gave them the courage to keep chasing. But soon, many felt helpless. Each of them was a supreme genius across the cosmos—yet now they felt pressured to the point of being unable to catch up.
“Before coming to Chaos City, he and I weren’t that far apart. Now I haven’t even passed the second level, while he has already passed the third,” Jianmo clenched his fists.
…
Inside the ancient city of Chaos City, which had existed for billions of years, shrouded in chaotic currents.
“I really don’t like long hair,” Luo Feng waved his hand, his palm releasing a sharp aura that quickly trimmed his hair into a short cut. Then he leapt off the rooftop, landing in an alley.
“Luo Feng, you’ve passed the second and third levels consecutively. Now you’ve gained 6000 points and earned two chances to study the Chaos Steles. How do you plan to use them?” The voice of Babata echoed in his mind.
“Passing the third level grants me the qualification to attend lectures under the various powerful experts of Chaos City,” Luo Feng smiled. “As for these 6000 points, I can’t afford to waste them. Since I’m a newcomer, I received a tenfold bonus. Once I leave Chaos City… gaining points in the future will probably be very difficult.”
“Points can only be obtained through methods specified by the Virtual Universe Company, so I must be frugal.”
“As for the two study chances…”
“I haven’t studied the ‘Nine Heavens Chaos Stele’ for nearly ten years. I have many confusions in my mind, so I’ll use one study chance today.” Luo Feng walked through the alley and soon reached the main street. “As for the second study chance, there’s no rush. I’ll decide later.”
Like a flash, he soon arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion. The mansion occupied a vast area, but Luo Feng was familiar with the path and quickly reached the tall, wide corridor of secret chambers. Along this corridor, one could see rows of massive doors that appeared to be made of bronze. Soon, he arrived at a bronze door marked with the word ‘Nine Heavens’.
“Venerable Kandri,” Luo Feng respectfully bowed to the three-eyed old guardian standing before the door.
“Hmm,” Kandri nodded with a smile, then slightly closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened them again. “Good. You’ve made great progress. You now have two study chances.”
“I plan to use one now,” Luo Feng said solemnly.
“You’re very lucky. There’s no one inside the chamber at the moment,” Kandri smiled, pointing toward the giant bronze door behind him. With a loud rumbling sound, the bronze door slowly opened. Inside, thick chaotic currents swirled, making the interior very hazy. Luo Feng, however, wore a delighted expression: “Thank you, Venerable.”
Whoosh! Luo Feng dashed into the secret cultivation chamber.
…
Inside the secret cultivation chamber, chaotic currents surrounded a massive Chaos Stele.
“Each study chance is very precious. Although Chaos City has many people, sometimes you need to wait in line to enter, but sometimes you’re the only one inside,” Luo Feng rushed directly to the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele and fixed his gaze on the first image of the stele—the ‘Raindrop Image’.
The nine raindrops in the Raindrop Image possessed an incredible, mesmerizing power, completely drawing Luo Feng’s spiritual consciousness into them.
At this moment!
All three of Luo Feng’s avatars were immersed in the ‘Raindrop Image’. Each raindrop began to evolve into various meanings within his mind. Among them, only the first raindrop no longer held any mystery for Luo Feng—he had completely seen through its essence and glimpsed its true nature.
The ‘Raindrop Image’ contained nine different meanings.
Ordinary cultivators who studied the ‘Raindrop Image’ only needed to understand the meaning and be able to manifest it themselves to be considered ‘qualified’. But Luo Feng’s goal was not just that—he aimed to truly see through its essence!
It’s like a test paper with regular questions and bonus questions.
Getting all the regular questions right earns a perfect score of 100.
Getting both the regular and bonus questions right earns a score of 150!
Ordinary cultivators who studied the ‘Raindrop Image’ usually reached the 100-point level for all nine raindrops.
Currently, Luo Feng’s comprehension of the other eight raindrops was around 90 points, while only the first raindrop had reached the 150-point level!
The ‘Raindrop Image’ had nine raindrops. If one’s comprehension of all was qualified, one could generally pass the first three levels.
Luo Feng had eight raindrops nearly qualified and one raindrop perfected!
“Now, what I should do is not rush to study the ‘Drizzle Image’, but instead bring all nine raindrops of the ‘Raindrop Image’ to perfection,” Luo Feng clearly knew what he should do.
…
Guided by the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele, Luo Feng’s spiritual consciousness was flooded with insights into the ‘Raindrop Image’. Whenever he reached a profound realization, he couldn’t help but smile.
“Come out!”
A voice echoed in his mind.
“Come out!” “Come out!” “Come out!” “Come out!”… The voice started low but kept echoing and growing louder in his mind, eventually jolting Luo Feng out of his mystical state. He could only reluctantly clench his teeth and fly out: “What a pity. Time’s up again.”
Outside the secret cultivation chamber, three people were already waiting.
“What a pity.”
“If only I could stay a little longer,” Luo Feng walked along the streets outside the City Lord’s Mansion, still feeling somewhat reluctant. The feeling of studying the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele had been too wonderful. Unlike ordinary cultivation sessions where one might wake up due to mental fatigue, here at the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele, there was no fatigue at all.
In fact, one didn’t even need to actively study—it was enough to be drawn into the stele’s influence to gain many insights.
“Now, for the other eight meanings of the ‘Raindrop Image’, I should be qualified,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “If I previously scored around 90, now all eight meanings should be at 100.”
“But…”
“My goal is for all nine meanings to reach 150 points,” Luo Feng smiled.
The higher one goes, the harder it becomes.
Just like bonus questions on a test being much harder than regular ones, the difficulty of seeing through the essence versus merely being able to use it was vastly different.
“Hmm… Ahh…” Luo Feng looked up at the sky, feeling relaxed for the first time in a while.
Looking into the distance at the sky, he saw many space rifts filled with crystalline threads and complex, intertwining secret patterns—these were the operational rules of the vast universe itself, revealed before Luo Feng and others. Yet even though revealed, it would take a very long time to fully comprehend them.
“Ah?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
“Finally… finally about to breakthrough?” Luo Feng transformed into a blur and rushed back to his private cultivation residence not far from the City Lord’s Mansion.
…
Inside Luo Feng’s inner world.
On the vast metallic continent, the Jingu beast, resembling a black mountain, and the Mosha Clan avatar, ‘Black-Cloth Luo Feng’, gazed at the sky in excitement.
“Finally, finally about to breakthrough!”
“Finally, finally evolving to Domain Lord level!”
For ordinary beings, evolving from Cosmic-level ninth stage to Domain Lord level usually took around 500 years, sometimes a hundred more, sometimes a hundred less—it wasn’t an exact number. But Luo Feng, using the optimal metal combination, accelerated the expansion of his inner world at maximum efficiency, increasing the speed by 56 times!
In theory, Luo Feng should have broken through seven or eight years after entering Chaos City.
But now, he was three years late!
First, the evolution did indeed take a little longer than expected. Second, it was Luo Feng’s own fault!
Because during the past ten years of intense cultivation and studying, his three avatars often entered a state of deep meditation—sometimes waking up after one or two months, sometimes even three or four. The inner world needed to consume metal, just like a person needing to eat regularly! If a person hadn’t eaten for three days, they couldn’t possibly eat three days’ worth of food in one sitting.
Exactly the same principle applied.
The inner world could usually consume enough metal in one go to last one or two months.
But if Luo Feng meditated for three or four months at a time, then upon waking, the inner world could only consume enough for one or two months, slowing down the evolution.
…
Studying the laws of cultivation was extremely important, and Babata dared not disturb Luo Feng at critical moments, naturally causing this delay. Moreover, both Luo Feng and Babata clearly understood one thing—these thirty years in Chaos City were extremely important, and they had to give it their all. The Jingu beast’s evolution being delayed by a couple of years was a minor issue!
Studying the laws of cultivation was the priority!
…
“Boom~~~” Countless golden mists merged into the continent. The metallic continent continuously expanded, generating vast landmasses. After a long time, the entire landmass was fully formed.
All became quiet.
The evolution of the inner world was successful.
It had expanded directly from 9,000 kilometers in length and width to 100,000 kilometers!
…
Inside Luo Feng’s inner world, at the Origin Core.
Inside the Origin Core, the spiral galaxy was dazzlingly beautiful, with a massive black hole at its center. On the eight spiral arms were eight smaller black holes. When the inner world’s evolution was complete, the spiral galaxy began a startling transformation—
“Boom!”
The central black hole and the eight spiral arm black holes suddenly surged with immense suction power. Stars were violently devoured. Especially the central black hole, which kept growing larger and larger. Gradually, the eight smaller black holes were also pulled closer by the gravitational force.
Devouring!
The central black hole devoured everything it could, growing larger and larger. Soon, each of the eight smaller black holes was swallowed up.
In a moment,
The entire spiral galaxy vanished, leaving only a single, massive black hole.
“Boom~~” The massive black hole suddenly collapsed inward. The entire black region rapidly shrank within the ‘Origin Core’, visible to the naked eye. This black hole collapse was so terrifying it made one’s heart race. In the blink of an eye, the black hole collapsed and disappeared. At the same time, a gray sphere appeared at the center where the black hole had been.
Puff!
The gray sphere, like a snake shedding its skin, suddenly cast off a gray shell. This spherical gray shell began to expand, expanding, expanding…
Growing larger and larger!
The gray spherical shell kept expanding until it matched the size of the entire Origin Core. Then, silently, this gray shell merged completely with the Origin Core, causing some special changes to Luo Feng’s core—the Origin Core itself.
…
With the core undergoing transformation, the two avatars within the inner world,
The Jingu beast and the Mosha Clan avatar, simultaneously began their evolution!
