The universe evolves, and the Primordial Universe is a small universe in its early evolutionary stages. In the sky, rifts in space are visible everywhere, with glistening threads flowing at the mouths of the fractures, striving to mend them. Again and again they repair, again and again they rupture—an endless, infinite cycle.
Chaos City, even more so, is the only ancient city within the entire Primordial Universe.
“Boom~~~” An oval-shaped spacecraft halted above Chaos City. The hatch opened, and countless figures flew out from various races. Among them was Luo Feng, clad in blue battle armor, blending in completely, utterly unremarkable.
After Luo Feng and hundreds of others flew out,
A black beam of light suddenly shot up from below, coming from a man in a black robe whose head was entirely covered in blue scales. The black-robed man grinned, revealing a fierce smile: “Everyone, I am the reception envoy of Chaos City. Most of you who have come here have already visited before. Those who are familiar with Chaos City’s rules may act freely—they surely know what to do. As for those visiting Chaos City for the first time, please follow me.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Twenty-two figures flew toward the black-robed man, following the envoy. These twenty-two individuals had all obtained their spots through auctions and other means, entering Chaos City for the first time.
The hundreds of others, however, dove downward toward the city below, scattering in different directions.
…
Luo Feng lightly landed on the wide street, glancing around. In the distance, on the rooftops of various cultivation residences, countless meditating cultivators sat cross-legged. Sovereigns and Immortal Gods were everywhere, though the majority were Immortal Gods. Just sensing the auras alone—even the Sovereigns’ auras were far stronger than those outside. The Sovereigns cultivating in Chaos City were clearly superior.
“Chaos City, the sacred land of human cultivation,” Luo Feng mused.
One could already see the difference from a sacred cultivation ground.
The sacred land of the Golden-Horned Race was merely a designated zone within their living territory. However, the sacred land of humanity was specially established within an entire Primordial Universe. There were no fewer than fifty-two Chaos Monoliths in total, and the might of the Chaos City Lord who presided over Chaos City far exceeded that of the elders of the Golden-Horned Race.
This is humanity—the peak race of the universe.
“Excellent, this is truly a great place for cultivation,” Luo Feng looked around. “Hmm, I should first choose a residence. I’ll pick one near my teacher’s mansion.”
Moments later,
Luo Feng selected a relatively secluded cultivation residence about a thousand kilometers away from his teacher’s mansion. As he approached the pale white entrance, he gently placed his hand on the door. A soft “beep” sounded—the door’s sensing system activated, gradually changing color until it turned deep gray. From this moment on, Luo Feng became the master of this residence.
…
Each room of the cultivation residence was spacious. Though there were private cultivation chambers, most cultivators preferred to sit cross-legged on the rooftops.
“From today on, this will be my temporary home for the next thousand years,” Luo Feng said as he climbed the stairs to the rooftop.
The rooftop was nearly a hundred meters long and wide—larger than the playground of his high school back on Earth. On the rooftop were carved various chaotic, randomly placed patterns and inscriptions, clearly left behind by powerful cultivators from history during their moments of enlightenment. Undoubtedly, in the future, Luo Feng would also leave behind some of his own carvings.
He sat cross-legged, feeling the coolness of the rooftop beneath him.
He looked up to the sky!
Chaos currents swirled in the heavens, with countless spatial fractures hanging across the sky. Complex mystical runes flowed along the fractures, revealing the laws of the universe, making one feel refreshed and at peace.
“From now on, I will also be sitting on this rooftop for a long time,” Luo Feng smiled.
…
Returning to the first floor’s massive living room, he ordered the residence’s AI assistant to prepare a cup of hot tea.
Reclining on the soft fur sofa, holding the steaming teacup, Luo Feng gently inhaled the tea’s fragrance before taking a sip. He savored it in his mouth for a long while before swallowing it down. A wave of comfort spread throughout his entire body. Meanwhile, his mind raced with thoughts at an incredible speed.
Luo Feng loved to think while drinking tea.
“Right now, I possess the Beast God Statue, the Large Sleeping Beast God Statue’s physical projection, the first three volumes of ‘Essays on Time and Space,’ ‘Snowfall,’ ‘Thirty-Six Transformations of Divinity,’ ‘Shadow Secrets,’ ‘Heaven and Earth of the Original Self,’ ‘Absolute Space,’ the Ancient Holographic Recordings, ‘Tearing the Heavens and Splitting the Earth,’ over 6 million Chaos Units, and over 1 million points of merit,” Luo Feng reflected on his resources.
He clearly outlined his cultivation approach.
Ordinarily, Sovereign-level cultivators begin to create their own secret techniques, even forging weapons. Luo Feng planned to reach Sovereign level in Chaos City. With his current high comprehension of the laws, he was ready to begin creating his own secret techniques.
Secret techniques were mainly divided into two categories: research and combat.
Research techniques were those that, through secret methods and auxiliary items, enhanced one’s comprehension of the laws. The higher one’s comprehension of the laws, the stronger one naturally became. Comprehension of the laws was somewhat akin to “internal energy.” Combat techniques, on the other hand, were methods of application. With the same level of law comprehension, different methods of application could lead to vastly different combat strengths.
Law comprehension was like internal energy, while combat techniques were like swordsmanship or blade techniques—skills.
Of course, this was just an analogy.
“The combat technique of the Golden-Horned Beast is ‘Tearing Heaven with One Claw.'”
“The combat technique of the Mosha Clone is ‘Shadow Secrets.'”
“As for my Earthman Original Self, the combat technique is ‘Divine Soldier,’ and as the Divine Soldier becomes insufficient in the future, I will gradually use ‘Thirty-Six Transformations of Divinity’ and create even more suitable combat techniques.”
As for other techniques like ‘Essays on Time and Space,’ the Beast God Statue, and so on, they were all auxiliary tools to help Luo Feng comprehend the laws. Even ‘Heaven and Earth of the Original Self’ was a body-strengthening auxiliary technique.
“High law comprehension is the foundation.”
“So I should focus my efforts on that first. Once my comprehension reaches a certain bottleneck, I can then explore combat techniques,” Luo Feng decided inwardly. “That’s the plan.”
…
After planning his long-term cultivation path, Luo Feng left his residence and headed toward the mansion of his teacher, Zhenyan Wang, to pay his respects.
The grand entrance of the mansion stood wide open.
Beep.
The hidden scanning signal at the mansion’s entrance swept over Luo Feng, confirming his right to enter, so it naturally did not block him. Quietly entering the mansion, Luo Feng soon arrived at a vast plaza, several dozen kilometers in length and width, where nearly a thousand cultivators were gathered, sitting respectfully and listening attentively.
At the forefront sat a golden-armored ape in a meditative pose, expounding upon the fourth inscription of the “Stele of Nine Heavens’ Chaos.”
“Teacher,” Luo Feng murmured inwardly, not daring to interrupt the lesson, so he sat quietly at the edge of the crowd.
Zhenyan Wang, while lecturing, noticed the new arrival ‘Luo Feng’ among the audience. He gave a faint smile but continued speaking without further comment…
After a long time!
“Today’s lecture ends here,” Zhenyan Wang said calmly.
“Thank you, Teacher,” the gathered thousands of cultivators bowed respectfully.
“Zhenyan Wang is truly amazing. I’ve already grasped the fifth image, but listening to him explain the fourth image made me realize my understanding of it was still incomplete. It seems I haven’t fully comprehended the fourth image yet.”
“It’s extremely difficult to fully grasp. I’ve heard that one must first comprehend the 108 fundamental essences of the first three images. Comprehending those 108 fundamentals is said to be ten or even a hundred times harder than normally grasping the fourth image.”
The cultivators chatted among themselves, forming small groups as they departed.
Luo Feng, however, walked straight toward his teacher.
…
“Junior brother.”
“Junior brother has arrived.”
“It’s been years since we last saw you, junior brother.” Dozens of disciples under Zhenyan Wang smiled and greeted Luo Feng. Luo Feng also greeted these senior brothers one by one. Most of these senior brothers were Marquis-level Immortal Gods, many even at the peak of the Marquis rank. Unfortunately, none of them had managed to officially ascend to the King level.
Under normal circumstances, even a King-tier cultivator might barely ascend to the rank of Monarch with some assistance.
Zhenyan Wang had extremely high standards for his disciples and utterly disdained such practices, considering them pure self-deception.
“Luo Feng, come with me,” Zhenyan Wang said.
“Yes, Teacher,” Luo Feng replied respectfully.
“Senior brothers, I’ll visit you all later,” Luo Feng bid farewell to the gathered seniors and followed Zhenyan Wang to the courtyard where his teacher practiced in solitude.
The courtyard was several kilometers wide, covered entirely in grass.
Zhenyan Wang casually sat cross-legged on the grass: “Sit down.”
Luo Feng obediently sat beside him.
“Did you complete the highest merit task?” Zhenyan Wang smiled.
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Tell me about it, including the final evaluation and everything,” Zhenyan Wang said.
“Yes,” Luo Feng replied respectfully. “The fourth stage of this task was…” He detailed everything—how he obtained the merit points, the evaluations, and how he completed the tasks, withholding nothing.
Zhenyan Wang listened, his eyes flashing with disdain: “Fools! Do they really want sons to imprison their fathers to be satisfied?”
Luo Feng was stunned.
Was his teacher calling those people fools?
“If even family members cannot be protected, then what is the point of cultivation?” Zhenyan Wang looked at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, stick to your beliefs and don’t be swayed by those people. The upper management of the Virtual Universe Company is indeed rigid… Do they really want all the strong cultivators to become their pawns? Hmph, the reason why cultivators are strong is because of their independence. Those in high positions are just playing two-faced games—pretending one way publicly and acting another secretly.”
Luo Feng blinked, staring at his teacher.
“Haha… What? Are you surprised?” Zhenyan Wang laughed, sighing, “That’s just my temperament. Back in the day, I caused quite a stir, so now I’ve been exiled to Chaos City, without any real power. But hiding in Chaos City, I simply ignore their orders unless it’s something truly important.”
Luo Feng smiled.
His teacher had once caused a major uproar, though Luo Feng knew very little about the details of Zhenyan Wang’s past.
“How long do you plan to cultivate here in Chaos City?” Zhenyan Wang asked.
“I plan to cultivate until I reach Sovereign level,” Luo Feng replied.
“Oh? Are you giving up on those missions?” Zhenyan Wang was surprised. When Luo Feng was at Domain Lord level, the Virtual Universe Company occasionally issued missions. Now, Luo Feng had only completed two missions—one worth 200,000 merit points, and the highest merit mission worth 2 million points. There were other missions afterward.
But naturally, Luo Feng couldn’t accept missions while in Chaos City.
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
