Chapter 174: “The World Life Form” Introduction

Luo Feng looked at the various Ten Directions World Form materials before him. The golden-scaled beetle corpse was a gift from his master, Master Emperor Chu, while the other biological materials were gathered from the worlds he guarded.

“The Ten Directions World Form I’ve comprehended is different from all of these.” Luo Feng was a little amazed.

These materials representing the Ten Directions World Form came from different life forms and naturally had slight variations.

“Then, what material should I use to construct this form?” Luo Feng pondered.

According to the inheritance described in The World Life Form, merely comprehending the Ten Directions World Form was only half of the process. One still needed to study the Origin Path of Matter and develop a material suitable for the Ten Directions World Form. Only by combining the two could one create a powerful life form.

There were those who had only comprehended the Origin Path of Life, such as the Snow Realm Ancestor. Their life forms were not inferior to the Ten Directions World Form, but since they were condensed purely from divine power, their might was far weaker.

Luo Feng, with the ability of “formless and imageless,” could still imitate them.

“Let’s try.”

Luo Feng began his transformation.

He used the Ten Directions World Form as the foundation and transformed using materials based on lifeforms of the Primordial Bloodline.

“Swish, swish, swish.”

Countless divine powers began transforming.

“The previous form had a maximum of 10.8 trillion particles. But the Ten Directions World Form… is a self-contained world, without limit.” Luo Feng understood this clearly upon studying the inheritance.

Theoretically, as long as the soul could handle it, and the will could command it, a Ten Directions World Form life form could be infinitely large!

Soon, Luo Feng referenced seven materials and manifested seven incarnations.

“These seven materials are all well-suited for the Ten Directions World Form. Among them, the ‘Silver Mountain Beast King’ ranks highest in compatibility.” Luo Feng determined this with a simple sense. These were all naturally born Ten Directions World Form life forms from the Primordial Bloodline, so of course their material structures were quite perfect.

“Transform.”

Luo Feng began transforming again, divine power continuously shifting.

As more and more divine power transformed, Luo Feng became increasingly proficient. Still, it took nearly half a day on the Origin Continent to completely transform his divine body.

“With my divine body fully transformed, my soul and will can still control it.” Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng, now vast and towering, felt quite at ease.

The soul was akin to an army. The larger the soul, the greater the number of troops.

The will was like the commander of that army.

A powerful commander… could unleash tremendous combat power from the troops. A weak one… could render even the strongest forces ineffective.

To control a mighty physical body, both the soul and will were essential.

“Keep building up.”

At that moment, the small universe back home was continuously transmitting divine power into the body’s Chaos Space. Within the Chaos Space, divine power was constantly converting into Ten Directions World Form energy, allowing Luo Feng to keep growing.

“Once one reaches this level, the size of the body is determined by one’s path.” Luo Feng understood this clearly.

The Divine Kings greatly valued the Infinite Divine Body because it represented one’s foundation.

The size of a small universe was determined by this foundation!

With Luo Feng’s Perfect Divine Body, his small universe was the largest allowed under the supreme laws.

As for an Infinite Divine Body, its small universe was slightly inferior.

If the divine body was weaker, the corresponding small universe would be smaller, and the internal Chaos Space—which would eventually evolve into a small universe—would likewise be smaller. Naturally, the soul born within would also be smaller.

The foundation determined the size of one’s small universe, divine body, and soul.

Of course, the foundations of the divine body and soul could be improved through cultivation. For instance, cultivating the soul path could enhance the soul, but that path was extremely difficult. Ninety-nine percent of Divine Kings… had souls that grew naturally.

To improve the divine body foundation required cultivating bodily-related paths, with the Origin Path of Life being the most adept. For example, the Snow Realm Ancestor—every river and snowflake within the Snow Realm Domain was part of his body.

“Only after reaching this level of cultivation does one begin to surpass the foundations of the divine body.”

Luo Feng sensed that, after fully transforming his divine body, an invisible force began gathering within the Chaos Space.

As a Perfect Divine Body, Luo Feng’s Chaos Space was vast and resilient. Now, with the invisible force accumulating, it naturally began to evolve into a world.

An internal world began to take shape naturally.

“This is the World Life Form.” Luo Feng felt it all deeply.

In the Ten Directions World Form, every fundamental unit of life contained within it a Small World.

And the vast flesh body formed by countless life units was saturated with the power of the world. Naturally, it had to open up a complete world—and evidently, the Chaos Space within the body was the most suitable.

“Rumble~~~”

As the infinite power of the world gathered in the enormous flesh body, the Small World steadily expanded.

……

“Let’s go take a look.” After sensing the stabilization of the Small World, Luo Feng’s true body finally stepped out of the Star Tower, withdrawing his power and quietly leaving Chu Capital.

Whoosh.

Luo Feng’s body naturally fused into the world, as if becoming a part of it. In just a few breaths, he had already arrived at Huyang City.

“World Life Form—traveling is really this fast.” Luo Feng was amazed.

Although it hadn’t reached the terrifying level of some beings who could arrive somewhere with a mere thought, simply traveling from the border of the Ancient Flame Kingdom to Huyang City in a few breaths still amazed Luo Feng.

It was far faster than before.

“My Small World can naturally reflect the outside world.” Standing above Huyang City, Luo Feng’s Small World naturally reflected the external reality, revealing an incredibly vast range.

“The Three Chaos States!”

Luo Feng confirmed it.

The extent to which his internal Small World could reflect the outside made Luo Feng marvel. Each Chaos State was already an incredibly vast region; even a large city was but a negligible dot within a single Chaos State.

One must know—even a second-tier nation typically contained only several dozen Chaos States.

For third-tier nations, their entire territory usually encompassed just around ten Chaos States.

Luo Feng’s world reflection spanned a range covering Three Chaos States—a terrifying notion.

“Within the scope of the world’s reflection, I can even, with a single thought, summon the ‘Power of the World’ to annihilate enemies.”

“With my current strength, nearly invincible among the First Stage Divine Kings, I already possess such methods. Then what about those in the Second Stage Divine King and even Ultimate Divine King realms?” Luo Feng grew increasingly aware. “No wonder a Realm Beast at the Ultimate Divine King level could trigger an apocalyptic catastrophe.”

To be invincible in the First Stage Divine King realm was already considered a hegemon of the Origin Continent.

“A true First Stage Divine King possesses divine power reserves far surpassing mine. If they cultivate into a World Life Form, their power would be even more immense.” That was also why Luo Feng considered himself nearly invincible at this stage.

However…

At this moment, his body was still continuously absorbing energy. His hometown’s miniature universe was also transmitting energy. His flesh body was still growing. He believed that it wouldn’t be long before he reached the true standard of an invincible First Stage Divine King.

“I still need to familiarize myself with this body and explore its many capabilities.” Luo Feng’s true body instantly entered the Guardian Residence of Huyang City.

As a practitioner of the Origin Path of Life, with many incarnations, there was little distinction in importance between the true body and the incarnations! As long as a sliver of power remained, he could recover through cultivation.

By contrast, treasures like the Star Tower were more important! He’d heard too many stories of Second Stage Divine Kings being ambushed by the two ancient kingdoms. Before fully understanding the Star Tower, Luo Feng didn’t dare to expose it.

Even though he could now be considered a regional hegemon, he still had to keep a low profile before the two ancient kingdoms.

“According to ‘The World Life Form’, this Top-Tier Inheritance, I’ve only just entered the introductory stage.” The more Luo Feng understood, the more humble he became.

As the inheritance described, those Primordial Life Forms beyond the Caged World had bodies comparable even to a Source World.

Compared to such beings, he was as insignificant as an ant.

“At the very least, I’ve taken the first step.” Luo Feng continued his seclusion, becoming more familiar with his body’s various abilities.

******

Xiangjie City.

“How long do you plan to stay in Bolu City this time?” Moyu Qingyan asked his wife Zhang Yunge.

“I don’t know,” Zhang Yunge replied.

“You don’t know?” Moyu Qingyan was stunned.

Zhang Yunge explained, “Getting the chance to become a disciple of Divine King Bolu is a great fortune! Of course, I have to seize it and go cultivate at Bolu Mountain. Only by continuously cultivating there can I regularly receive guidance from Master. If I stay in Xiangjie City, when would I ever receive such guidance?”

“That’s not what I meant,” Moyu Qingyan said. “I hold an important position in Xiangjie City, I can’t be away long-term! If you remain in Bolu City, wouldn’t we be separated all the time?”

“We’re cultivators. A short-term separation—what’s so unbearable about that?” Zhang Yunge said.

“How about you leave a Divine Power Incarnation here?” Moyu Qingyan asked.

“Cultivation requires focus. I can’t afford distractions,” Zhang Yunge said. “When I feel it’s time to return, I will come back.”

Moyu Qingyan looked at Zhang Yunge, a bitterness in his heart. “Should I send a Divine Power Incarnation to accompany you instead?”

“In Bolu Mountain, having a Divine Power Incarnation constantly by my side—what would that look like? Besides, I’ll be focused on cultivation and won’t be able to accompany you anyway,” Zhang Yunge smiled. “Alright, this is the path of cultivation. When focus is needed, one must focus. You and I have only average talent. If we’re not focused… we’ll never make further progress.”

After saying that, Zhang Yunge departed.

Moyu Qingyan silently watched: “Not even willing to leave a Divine Power Incarnation?”

His parents had a loving relationship and three children.

His eldest brother and youngest brother were the same—wives and children.

Moyu Qingyan had also thought that after marrying, he would have children.

But…

His wife Zhang Yunge placed extreme importance on the path of cultivation.

“Qingyan, I told you long ago—emotions hinder cultivation.” Morosa appeared beside him, smiling. “Look, Yunge is decisive! She doesn’t want children, so she can focus on cultivating. She won’t even leave a Divine Power Incarnation—all to stay focused… she’s seizing her chance, wholeheartedly cultivating.”

Luo Feng was immersed in seclusion, unaware of his disciple’s affairs.

But Morosa had always been watching, paying close attention to his disciple’s emotional developments.

“Emotions hinder cultivation?” Moyu Qingyan shook his head. “Then how come my father and brothers were unaffected?”

“Isn’t Yunge acting just like that? Cutting off distractions, wholeheartedly cultivating, eliminating all disturbances,” Morosa said leisurely.

“Why can’t emotions and cultivation coexist?” Moyu Qingyan didn’t believe it.

……

Another period passed.

Moyu Qingyan personally visited Bolu City, arriving at Bolu Mountain.

“Divine Lord Moyu, Junior Sister Zhang is currently sparring with other disciples,” a disciple on Bolu Mountain greeted him warmly and guided him along the way.

Moyu Qingyan saw her.

He saw Zhang Yunge sparring with five fellow disciples. In terms of strength, Zhang Yunge was certainly weaker, but her fellow disciples showed her courtesy and restrained their power.

“Why are you here?” Zhang Yunge came over smiling.

“You still won’t come back, so I had no choice but to come.” Moyu Qingyan said.

Zhang Yunge smiled and explained, “This truly is a place for Divine Kings to cultivate. The disciples here are all outstanding, and many of them are far stronger than me. Sparring with them brings me great gains. Cultivating here is far better than in Xiangjie City. I believe you understand that, Qingyan.”

“Has Divine King Bolu given you any guidance?” Moyu Qingyan asked.

“Not yet,” Zhang Yunge replied. “No one knows when Master will appear. It depends on luck. Perhaps after some time, Master will give us instruction.”

Moyu Qingyan looked at her. “Then when do you plan to come back?”

“Why are you pushing me?” Zhang Yunge looked at Moyu Qingyan, her expression changing. “This is Master’s place. Becoming a disciple of a Divine King is a tremendous opportunity. Why are you trying to block my fortune?”

“I came only to confirm something. If you want to fully focus on cultivation and don’t want to be distracted by emotions, don’t want to be disturbed by me—” Moyu Qingyan looked at Zhang Yunge, “—then I don’t want to be disturbed by you either.”

Zhang Yunge was stunned.

“Give me your decision,” Moyu Qingyan said.

“I won’t give up the path of cultivation,” Zhang Yunge said calmly, looking at Moyu Qingyan. “This is the greatest opportunity I’ve had for cultivation since I was born. No one can stop me. Qingyan, you should already know my choice.”

“I figured as much. I just came for a clear answer.” Moyu Qingyan turned and walked away. “That’s it then. Let’s part ways.”

Zhang Yunge watched Moyu Qingyan leave, but didn’t call out to stop him.

For cultivators, meetings and partings were all part of the path.

In the ordinary days of the past, Moyu Qingyan had been a good companion. But now, she was a personal disciple of a Divine King—a path she was more devoted to.

“Emotions will only hold me back,” Zhang Yunge thought, turning to walk toward her fellow disciples.

……

“Master, Master.” Morosa sent a soul transmission.

Luo Feng, immersed in researching his lifeform, replied, “Morosa, what is it?”

“Master, don’t you care about your disciple? Your disciple and that Zhang Yunge have officially split,” Morosa said excitedly.

“Split?” Luo Feng was surprised.

As a master, he indeed hadn’t been very attentive. He hadn’t met Zhang Yunge more than a few times.

“I sensed it earlier—Qingyan was already distracted by her. He went to Bolu Mountain, and just as I suspected, they really broke up!” Morosa said gleefully. “Good, good! It’s for the best!”

“It’s just a minor emotional trial,” Luo Feng smiled, unconcerned, and continued focusing on his own cultivation. “I’m at a critical point in my training. You keep an eye on Qingyan for me.”

“Alright, leave it all to me.” Morosa, who didn’t need to spend effort on cultivation and was quite bored, naturally kept close watch on Moyu Qingyan at all times.
