The Truth

"Guest Official Luo He, please prepare yourself," the elder spirit said with a slight smile before he vanished into thin air. At the same time, the vast amount of information about inheritances and resources in the chaotic space disappeared, leaving only a hazy light enveloping Luo Feng, transmitting a wealth of information about the first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform."

A torrent of information continuously flowed into Luo Feng's memory. Even with his strong soul, it took him a long time to fully absorb it.

Although Luo Feng had previously browsed through many inheritances, gaining some knowledge, actually receiving an inheritance left him deeply shaken. For the first time, he realized just how powerful a true strong being could be.

"I once faced the Life Origin Dao, thinking it was the embodiment of the concept of life, a supreme force," he thought. "But after studying the first tribulation of the 'Eight Tribulations Lifeform,' even with just a glimpse, I can tell... the creator of this technique is far more powerful than the complete Life Origin Dao."

This being seemed to casually use information from the Life Origin Dao branch, creating various secret techniques from low to high levels and eventually combining them into the first tribulation. The creation of these secret techniques felt like turning something ordinary into something miraculous. This realization was more shocking to Luo Feng than the Life Origin Dao itself.

"No wonder fully developed World Beasts only exist in the first-rate kingdom of Tianmu and don't dare to challenge the two great ancient kingdoms," Luo Feng thought, gaining more awareness of how vast the world truly was.

Just as Luo Feng finished accepting the inheritance and was still in awe, he was teleported out of the Hall of Inheritance, appearing at the entrance.

"Luo He," Chu Yu saw Luo Feng and called out.

Luo Feng, setting aside his thoughts, immediately responded, "Chu Yu, sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's still early, the day hasn't even turned to night," Chu Yu laughed. "By the way, as a guest official, your residence and attendants have already been arranged by our Chu faction."

"Oh?" Luo Feng was surprised. They had only just entered the city and completed the application, yet everything was already arranged. The efficiency was indeed high.

"Come, I'll take you there," Chu Yu said enthusiastically.

...

In the western part of the city, Chu Yu led Luo Feng to a refined residence. The surroundings were quiet, with large estates occupying vast areas. Those living here were either high-ranking members of the royal family or powerful figures like Luo Feng at the Chaos Realm level.

"This is your residence," Chu Yu said.

Luo Feng, already holding the guest official token, naturally took control of the estate.

"From now on, this residence belongs to you, Luo He," Chu Yu smiled.

"Master (Teacher)," Moroza, who had sensed Luo Feng's arrival, came out with Mo Yu Qingyan and the ten servants to greet him at the main gate of the residence.

Luo Feng and Chu Yu entered together. The residence, being one for a Chaos Realm guest official, spanned over a billion kilometers. Its array formations were powerful, even capable of drawing on a sliver of power from the entire Chu capital, ensuring the residence's security.

Such a large area wasn't considered big for a Chaos Realm being, and to truly practice secret techniques, they would still need to retreat into some spatial treasure. Luo Feng was no different; his godly body, as tall as the heavens, couldn't be freely displayed in the outside world.

"The array formation in this residence can draw on a sliver of the Chu capital's power. I can feel that even if I used all my strength, I wouldn't be able to shake it," Luo Feng noted, fully aware of the immense force that could crush him.

"The Chu capital was crafted by our Yan Feng Kingdom's founder," Chu Yu smiled.

"By the way, Chu Yu, there's something I need your help with," Luo Feng began.

"Luo He, there's no need for formalities between us," Chu Yu laughed. Luo He was his only guest official, a crucial ally on his path of cultivation.

Luo Feng continued, "I have a friend who's currently serving as a deputy general in the city guard of Yinjiu City, located in the Beijiu Chaos State of Yan Feng Kingdom."

"Why would someone be in such a dangerous border area?" Chu Yu was surprised.

"That's why I need your help to bring him to the Chu capital," Luo Feng said.

Chu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since he's a friend of yours, let's not go through official channels. There are others among the first-tier marquises who might be watching me, and if they interfere, it could cause trouble."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement.

"I'll send a squad of my personal guards with my token to Yinjiu City in Beijiu Chaos State and have them bring the deputy general here. As a first-tier marquis of the royal family, I have the authority to recruit personal guards, so bringing in a small deputy general is within my power," Chu Yu explained.

"Let Moroza accompany them," Luo Feng suggested.

He was concerned about potential complications. If a Chaos Realm peak-level guest official went in person, it would arouse suspicion. Sending a servant who appeared to be just an Eternal True God would attract less attention.

"You only need to inform Moroza of your friend's identity to keep it confidential," Chu Yu added. "Once in Yinjiu City, let Moroza take my personal guards with the token to retrieve the deputy general."

"You're very thorough," Luo Feng remarked.

"You have no idea how fierce the competition is within the royal family," Chu Yu shook his head. "We first-tier marquises dare not kill each other, but our guest officials and subordinates are not so safe."

Luo Feng understood. The path of cultivation was one of constant competition.

Though entering this game brought risks, the benefits were also substantial. For example, the newly acquired first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform" could bring about a complete transformation in him.

"Moroza," Luo Feng transmitted mentally, "You will lead Chu Yu's personal guard to Yinjiu City in Beijiu Chaos State and bring back the Original Ancestor."

"Bring back the Original Ancestor?" Moroza knew of Luo Feng's relationship with the Original Ancestor.

Among the human race that had ventured through reincarnation to the Origin Continent, only Luo Feng and the Original Ancestor remained.

The Original Ancestor, in fact, was Luo Feng's master's master.

Their relationship was closer than that with Moroza.

"The Original Ancestor's identity is known only to you and me," Luo Feng transmitted. "This mission must be kept secret."

"Rest assured, Master," Moroza responded. "If any danger arises during the journey..."

"If the Original Ancestor's life is at risk, you are permitted to reveal your Chaos Realm strength," Luo Feng instructed. "Ensure his safety."

"Understood. I will conceal the Original Ancestor within a spatial treasure and only reveal my strength if absolutely necessary," Moroza affirmed. In Yan Feng Kingdom, he was always cautious, waiting for the right time when revealing his Chaos Realm strength would not draw too much attention.

That very day, Moroza led a squad of Chu Yu's personal guards, quietly departing the Chu capital in a small flying vessel. Though the vessel was swift, it would still take five days to reach Beijiu Chaos State.

After notifying the Original Ancestor, Luo Feng began his secluded cultivation that evening.

Within the tranquil chamber, there stood a Star Tower, and inside its vast space, Luo Feng began comprehending the newly acquired first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform."

"The me of the past was ignorant," Luo Feng reflected. "This inheritance truly reveals the nature of the Cage World and even hints at what lies beyond."

"It's like being the first human to look up at the stars, realizing how vast the universe is."

"The vast region governed by the supreme rules, including the Origin Continent and the surrounding three thousand original universes, all belong to the Cage World."

"The world I live in is entirely influenced by the supreme rules: the birth of life, reincarnation, cycles, small universes, lifespan, time flow, space stability, godly body levels... Everything is determined by the supreme rules."

"The level of a godly body at the time of becoming a True God even determines one's entire life thereafter," Luo Feng pondered.

If one became a True God with an Infinite Godly Body, they would maintain that form as a Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaos Realm being, and even a God King. The same applied to those with a Perfect Godly Body.

"The size of the godly body, the reserves of godly power—an Infinite Godly Body can change size at will. My Perfect Godly Body, though larger and more refined in godly power, also possesses the 'formless and shapeless' ability," Luo Feng considered. "But did I gain these abilities through my own enlightenment? No! They were granted by the supreme rules!"

The supreme rules allow the maximum height of your godly body.

The supreme rules grant you the formless and shapeless ability.

The supreme rules ensure that the small universes of Origin Continent cultivators exist within the starry sky.

Everything is governed by the rules!

"Formless and shapeless is not an ability I comprehended myself; it was given by the supreme rules," Luo Feng thought. "But according to the 'Eight Tribulations Lifeform,' true powerhouses start within the Cage World, drawing knowledge from it, and then break through the Cage... All their power becomes their own."

"Those who break through the Cage can truly say that their strength does not come from the supreme rules but from the 'Dao' they have mastered."

Luo Feng, who once prided himself on his Perfect Godly Body and 'formless and shapeless' abilities, now saw things differently.

In the eyes of the creator of this inheritance, all cultivators within the Cage had yet to break free from the supreme rules.

The Cage can be understood in two ways.

One is the physical Cage, the barrier that directly protects all beings.

The other is the Cage of the supreme rules.

Only by breaking through all cages and walking the path of "all power comes from within" can one truly embark on the path of the Great Dao.

"The 'Eight Tribulations Lifeform' inheritance is already so incredible; how powerful must the other expensive inheritances be?" Luo Feng wondered. "The Lord of Huyang and the Lord of the Shi Kingdom are both guest officials of Yan Feng Kingdom, and they surely have access to some formidable inheritances."

Obtaining an inheritance is one thing, but cultivating it to its full potential is another.

"I used to be somewhat arrogant. Avenging my master is not an easy task," Luo Feng admitted.

The more he learned, the more humble he became.

After witnessing various inheritances, especially some terrifying techniques involving the use of primal power and materials, Luo Feng knew that even his survival abilities with the first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform" would pale compared to some ancient God Kings.

"My master, the Sitting Mountain Guest, must have had extraordinary means to escape the pursuit of the three kings of the Shi Kingdom," Luo Feng reflected, now with a more accurate understanding of his master's true strength.

Currently, he was still far from matching his master.

Luo Feng then put aside all other thoughts and focused on his deep cultivation of this inheritance.
