Chapter 213: Evaluation of the Infinite Space
Origin Continent, within the Treasure Land ‘Infinite Space’.
On an ordinary heart-of-the-lake island, Luo Feng sat cross-legged. His terrifying mental will slightly extended outward, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly.
“Wng.”
A message immediately came from the imprint on Luo Feng’s palm—
“Trial-taker: Luo Feng of Origin Continent”
“Based on the Origin Paths of Life and Destruction, you have developed a New Origin Path. Evaluation of the New Origin Path: High-Grade. Reward Points: 10,000 points. On this new path, you have finally taken the first step. Keep striving.”
“Before mastering a complete Origin Path, your mental will successfully broke through the Divine King limit. Mental Will Evaluation: Top-Tier. Reward Points: 100,000 points. Your mental will is exceptionally outstanding. Perhaps… you can go even further?”
“Reminder: It is forbidden to kill any Mental Creatures. Violators will be permanently expelled from the Infinite Space.”
“Total Reward Points: 108,193.03 points.”
Looking at this message, Luo Feng could not help but reveal a joyful expression.
He was rich!
Finally, he was rich!
The treasure vault of the Infinite Space was more attractive than many Treasure Lands. Its only drawback was that reward points were too difficult to obtain! This time, with one hundred thousand reward points, Luo Feng truly felt wealthy.
“There’s one more reminder?” Luo Feng also noticed. “Forbidden to kill any Mental Creatures?”
“Of course. Every cultivator who descends into Infinite Space gains an ordinary Divine King-level physical body. Once their mental will breaks through the Divine King limit… they become virtually invincible in Infinite Space and could slaughter countless Mental Creatures.”
Luo Feng understood the reasoning behind the rule.
Without this prohibition, there would hardly be any Mental Creatures left alive in Infinite Space!
Of course, even with the prohibition, his clone would continue to remain here! The inheritances and resources obtained here were far superior to those of the Two Ancient Kingdoms. Perhaps this was also the reason Emperor Ming stayed here.
“Right, Emperor Ming remains here. But those like the Ruler of the Myriad Realms and Emperor Qing, whose mental will also surpassed the Divine King limit, did not remain.” Luo Feng stared at his own information and formed a hypothesis.
“Before mastering a complete Origin Path, a breakthrough in mental will beyond the Divine King limit grants 100,000 points. Those like the Ruler of the Myriad Realms likely broke through only after reaching the Ultimate Divine King realm, so their evaluation might be lowered to High-Grade? Reward Points: only 10,000 points?”
“I understand now why they did not stay.” Luo Feng gave a slight nod.
The Ruler of the Myriad Realms and Emperor Qing received fewer reward points. If they were not confident in developing a new Origin Path beyond what they already had, then temporarily leaving the Infinite Space made sense.
“Among the entire Origin Continent, in terms of Top-Tier evaluation of mental will, it’s probably only me and Emperor Ming.”
“To develop a new Origin Path and receive a Top-Tier evaluation… I wonder what the threshold is,” Luo Feng thought silently.
With his achievements in the Life-and-Death Path, he had only received a High-Grade evaluation.
Top-Tier evaluation—its threshold was extremely high.
This also proved the preciousness of reward points!
Luo Feng began browsing the Infinite Space’s treasure vault. Once he possessed over one hundred thousand points, the information available to him increased substantially. A multitude of inheritance data appeared, and Luo Feng’s gaze immediately caught sight of the seventh entry.
……
The seventh-ranked inheritance: 《Eight Tribulations Life Form》 Sixth Tribulation, Seventh Tribulation, Eighth Tribulation. Requires 100,000 reward points to exchange. Can be cultivated up to ‘Half Primordial Life Form’.
Reminder: The hypothetical ‘Ninth Tribulation’ of this inheritance is considered achievable. If completed, it allows one to break free from the Caged World.
……
“So expensive?” Luo Feng was startled.
The first five tribulations of 《Eight Tribulations Life Form》, when added together, cost just over ten thousand points and covered all cultivation phases of a Divine King. Yet, above the Divine King, to reach ‘Half Primordial Life Form’, the price was this steep.
“The system even included this inheritance and determined that, if the Ninth Tribulation is completed, there’s hope to break free from the Caged World?” Luo Feng's valuation of this inheritance increased dramatically. “I only have just over one hundred thousand points, so I’ll have to set it aside for now.”
He could not afford to spend all his points on an inheritance he currently could not use. What was most crucial for him now was to first achieve the Ultimate Divine King stage.
Beyond Divine King? That was still far away for him.
Moreover, based on what he understood from the Top-Tier Inheritance information, every stage of the Divine King must be built upon extremely solid foundations. These reward points were indispensable!
……
“《World Life Form》 Part Three (Top-Tier Inheritance), requires 60,000 reward points to exchange. Ultimate Divine King chapter.”
“《Beast Body of the Mixed Cave》 Part Three (Top-Tier Inheritance), requires 60,000 reward points to exchange. Ultimate Divine King chapter.”
Luo Feng also found the information he desired.
Top-Tier Inheritances in Infinite Space could be exchanged up to the Ultimate Divine King chapter!
……
Luo Feng reviewed a large number of inheritance records. Perfect-level inheritances even at the Second Stage Divine King chapter required 10,000 reward points. As for how many points were needed for the Ultimate Divine King chapter, Luo Feng could not yet see.
“Let’s check out the treasures instead,” Luo Feng didn’t rush to redeem any inheritances and began to browse the various treasures.
……
Ranked first among the treasures: a Primordial Heart, requires 100,081 reward points to exchange. When fused into the body, one can gain a Primordial Body, with extremely high compatibility with all Origin Paths!
Suggestion: Only exchange after comprehending branch paths of at least five Origin Paths.
Reminder: Once more than half the Supreme Laws’ Origin Paths are comprehended, and each Origin Path reaches at least the Second Stage Divine King, there will be a chance to master the Supreme Laws and become the Master of the Source World!
……
Ranked second among the treasures: a Micro Source World, requires 100,081 reward points to exchange. Suitable for cultivators of the ‘Origin Path of the World’, it can be refined into one of the worlds within the body, offering limitless applications.
……
Ranked third among the treasures: a Primordial Life Research Vessel, requires 100,000 reward points to exchange. Suitable for cultivators of the ‘Origin Path of Life’.
Suggestion: Ideal for studying Primordial Bloodlines, assists with the ultimate awakening of the Primordial Bloodline and breaking free from the Caged World.
……
Each of the top-ranked treasures left Luo Feng overwhelmed.
Some of the information made Luo Feng feel immense pressure.
“More than half of the Supreme Laws’ Origin Paths, each reaching Second Stage Divine King, gives a chance to become the Master of the Source World?”
“The ultimate awakening of the Primordial Bloodline can also break free from the Caged World?”
Even without purchasing many of these treasures, Luo Feng had gained access to some highly secret information.
Luo Feng examined item after item.
His heart stirred again and again, but Luo Feng was well aware—the opportunity to purchase would always be there! But reward points were limited and had to be ‘maximized’.
Common ‘beyond Divine King-level’ weapons and secret treasures generally cost between 12,500 and 50,000 points! The most expensive was only fifty thousand points.
“Beyond Divine King-level weapons and secret treasures generally have the effect of resisting mental will, to varying degrees of strength,” Luo Feng browsed through the brief information of these secret treasures. The most expensive one, priced at fifty thousand points, according to its description, could reduce all attacks below Half Primordial Life Form by ninety percent!
All attacks—this included mental will, soul attacks, causal attacks, and more—all could be weakened.
“Who created these secret treasures?” Luo Feng murmured inwardly.
Holding onto a pile of reward points, Luo Feng felt a bit dazzled.
He wanted this one, and he wanted that one! Because at this level, many of these treasures could provide Luo Feng with tremendous support.
The only issue: too few reward points.
“No matter what, comprehending Origin Paths is the foundation.”
“First, I’ll exchange for the cheapest ‘Lotus Heart Seed’.” Last time, Luo Feng had exchanged for the ‘Scale of Destruction’, and among the treasures compatible with the Origin Path of Life, the cheapest was the Lotus Heart Seed—18,000 reward points.
“Exchange.”
Luo Feng did not hesitate.
His reward points immediately dropped to 90,193.03 points.
Considering future inheritance exchanges, he had to be more thoughtful when it came to treasures.
His mental will had just broken through, and the Life and Destruction Paths were about to reach Second Stage Divine King. Luo Feng planned to stabilize his strength comprehensively first, and then select treasures based on his future state.
In the Quiet Chamber of the City Lord’s Residence in Huyang City, inside the Star Tower.
Luo Feng held a multicolored seed in his hand, in excellent spirits.
“Senior Yuan left the Infinite Space in the Origin Continent. The more outstanding the cultivator, the greater the benefits.” Luo Feng was in a great mood. With the Lotus Heart Seed and the Scale of Destruction, his compatibility with both the Life and Destruction Origin Paths would become unparalleled.
Figures like Emperor Guixu, the Master of the Mother River, and the Great Earth Divine King had also received treasures left behind by Yuan due to their excellence—some even beyond Divine King-level. But the outcomes had all been quite tragic.
A thought stirred in Luo Feng’s mind as he looked at the Star Tower.
“In the Infinite Space’s treasure vault, beyond Divine King-level weapons and secret treasures are priced between ten thousand and fifty thousand points. I wonder how valuable this Star Tower of mine is.” As the thought arose, Luo Feng began to let his mental will seep into the Star Tower.
This was his first time carefully examining the Star Tower since his mental will had broken through.
His mental will began to penetrate the interior of the Star Tower.
“Hmm? It’s different from before!”
To Luo Feng’s delight, his powerful mental will quickly seeped deeper into the Star Tower, revealing endlessly mysterious secret patterns that emerged within his awareness.
“These secret patterns?” Luo Feng felt confused. These deep secret patterns within the Star Tower were far more profound than a complete Origin Path! Luo Feng couldn’t make sense of them at all.
Countless secret patterns spiraled toward the deeper interior, and Luo Feng’s mental will followed the spiral trajectory deeper and deeper.
The deeper he went, the vaster and more complex the secret patterns became.
“This is the hidden side of the Star Tower?” Luo Feng’s mental will continued to seep through, uncovering more and more secret patterns.
When he reached the extreme depths, suddenly time froze.
“Strange.”
Luo Feng could sense that all his other clones were in a state of time suspension. Clearly, he was paused at this specific time node! Yet the mental will of this clone was still continuing its probe.
Though he couldn’t understand the secret patterns, they became increasingly beautiful, even exuding colors.
Predominantly blood-red, with shades of black, cyan, emerald green, violet, and many others.
“Boom!”
Luo Feng didn’t know how long he had been seeping through, but at last, his mental will ‘saw’ it.
It was the hidden existence in the deepest part of the Star Tower.
“A scale?”
Luo Feng watched curiously.
A single scale, hidden in the deepest recess of the Star Tower. It was a blood-red scale, but its edges bore no less than twelve different colors. This scale, existing within the Star Tower, seemed to influence all things naturally, just as the Supreme Laws affected all within the Source World.
“It’s not a real object.” As the master of the Star Tower, Luo Feng had a certain intuition.
This scale was the Star Tower! And the Star Tower was the scale!
The two were one and the same.
What he had glimpsed… was merely the manifested ‘external form’ of the profound principles.
