Chapter 403: New Members of the Eternal Land

The eight Lords truly relaxed now that the cultivation realm had fully reclaimed its lost territories.

“Starlight, you need to re-establish those damaged spacetime networks,” Yuan instructed.

“It’s easy to destroy them, but far more troublesome to set them up!” Starlight Lord rarely showed a hint of helplessness. “It will take at least a thousand epochs to repair all the damaged spacetime networks!”

When the cultivators initially decided to expand their territory, they chose the densest three thousand six hundred world clusters precisely because some other world clusters were too far, making the arrangement of spacetime networks dramatically more difficult! Starlight Lord was already struggling just to repair the spacetime networks of a few hundred world clusters.

“Brother Starlight, you’ve worked hard. Let us know if you need any help,” Luo Feng said.

“Repairing spacetime networks only requires some special materials!” Lan, who was nearby, chuckled. “Starlight is far wealthier than you, so he doesn’t need your help!”

Starlight shook his head. “Actually, there is one very important matter I truly need Luo Feng’s help with!”

“Oh?” Luo Feng was curious.

“I’ll tell you in detail once everything is ready,” Starlight said with a slight smile. As the being most skilled in spacetime in the Infinite Primordial Space, he understood it the deepest. He had troubles that other Lords could not resolve, but with the emergence of Luo Feng, who mastered two Primordial Paths, perhaps he could be helped! Starlight had observed that in the future, Luo Feng, mastering the two Paths of Creation and Destruction, would possess significantly greater direct combat power!

“Okay, call me anytime,” Luo Feng nodded. He greatly admired Starlight; Starlight’s contribution to the entire cultivation faction was immense. If Starlight asked, Luo Feng was naturally willing to assist!

Jin, witnessing this, felt a twinge. He and Luo Feng were an excellent combination; with Luo Feng, he could use his forbidden move, which involved burning his main combat avatar, as a regular attack, and Luo Feng could also shield him from many dangers. However, a flicker of dissatisfaction prevented Jin from speaking further.

“Luo Feng, if you’re willing to help Starlight, you’ll have to help me too in the future!” Moman Lord said, chuckling.

“Anytime I’m free,” Luo Feng replied.

Ming Huang, standing by, smiled slightly. She now understood Luo Feng’s nature and knew that if she asked, Luo Feng would definitely help! Jin, Moman, and Ming Huang – the three of them were all very suitable to cooperate with Luo Feng, and their synergy could even achieve a result greater than the sum of their parts.

“Next, let’s focus on rebuilding the previously damaged territories!” Yuan said. All the Lords nodded. Parts of their respective territories had been lost during the occupation and suffered varying degrees of destruction. The cultivation realm entered a period of major reconstruction, and the entire faction finally returned to peace. The heavily damaged Innate Primordial Faction and the recently frustrated Ice Peak Faction no longer dared to offend the cultivation faction. As for other weaker forces, they were even less daring to show themselves. The three thousand six hundred world clusters gradually returned to their former tranquility.

In the Dark World Cluster, within a sealed cave, a single being lived in solitude.

“I can resist it, I must resist it!” A figure curled up and trembled, his consciousness sinking and struggling in countless illusions. This was Yuan Xiang Palace Master, the founder of Rainveil City. After leaving Rainveil City to Luo Feng, he had dispersed all his external avatars and returned to his home Source World to fully resist the pollution. But as time passed, the memory pollution grew heavier, preventing him from regaining clarity. He constantly struggled in illusions, unable to tell reality from illusion. His strong will to survive still struggled, unwilling to give up. He broke free from one illusion only to enter another. He even found it hard to distinguish between reality and illusion.

“Ahhh! I can’t distinguish, I can’t distinguish reality from illusion!” Yuan Xiang Palace Master was in extreme pain. “The fact that I know I can’t distinguish means I haven’t completely sunk!” His consciousness was deeply eroded by the pollution, but a strong will sustained him.

“Brother Yuan Xiang, Brother Yuan Xiang!” A voice rang out.

*Boom!* A powerful force forcibly broke open the sealed cave and appeared beside Yuan Xiang Palace Master!

“I sent messages, but received no feedback! He’s even completely lost control of his own cave!” This figure looked at the twisted, trembling Yuan Xiang Palace Master and shook his head slightly. This was his guide on the path of cultivation, a being who once mastered two and a half Primordial Paths. Now, Yuan Xiang could not even spare a thought to control his own cave; he had lost all perception of the outside world.

“Brother, your luck is truly good!” The blue-robed figure reached out, holding a jade bottle. A crystal-clear dewdrop fell onto Yuan Xiang Palace Master. This drop of crystal-clear dew integrated into his body, cleansing all impurities from his soul and strengthening it considerably.

Yuan Xiang Palace Master opened his eyes, staring blankly at the cave scene and the blue-robed man before him. “Is this reality?” Yuan Xiang Palace Master asked with unprecedented certainty. He was now in excellent condition, even able to perform at 100% of his peak strength. Although memory pollution still existed, his strengthened soul could completely suppress it.

“Brother Du Fang, you’ve arrived!” Yuan Xiang Palace Master looked at his old friend from the same home world. “According to logic, the pollution brought by higher Primordial Lifeforms can only be resisted if my spiritual will transcends its cage. How did I suddenly recover? I even feel my soul is much stronger!”

“This is a drop of Life Dew bestowed by the great Lord Luo Feng,” Du Fang smiled. “He instructed me to bring it to you. This drop of Life Dew can cause your soul to transform and become stronger! Naturally, you can then suppress the pollution.” For Lords, there were many ways to solve memory pollution caused by mere higher Primordial Lifeforms. A single drop of soul-nourishing Life Dew was enough.

“Lord Luo Feng also said that if you want to completely resolve the memory pollution, you can visit him in the Dark World Cluster! He will personally remove that memory hidden in your soul!” Du Fang continued. “The Lord also said that once your soul is strong, this pollution will not only be harmless but will also serve as a form of tempering.”

Yuan Xiang Palace Master listened in a daze. “Lord Luo Feng?” Since returning to his home Source World and self-sealing to focus on resisting pollution, Yuan Xiang Palace Master had been unaware of external events.

“Just recently, our cultivation faction welcomed a new great Lord!” Du Fang said excitedly and proudly. “Lord Luo Feng, along with Lord Jin and other Lords, completely defeated the Innate Primordial Faction. We have won this war. The Dark World Cluster, as Lord Luo Feng’s home, has also undergone extensive construction! The current Dark Holy Land is far more prosperous than before. Lord Luo Feng’s true body is in the Dark Holy Land, constantly attended by thousands of higher Primordial Lifeforms, and even World-level Primordial Lifeforms frequently visit him.”

Yuan Xiang Palace Master listened, bewildered. *That... that talented young junior Luo Feng, who solved the crisis of Rainveil City, has become the highest-level existence in the Infinite Primordial Space – a Lord!* Yuan Xiang Palace Master clearly knew that Lords were the highest existences in the Infinite Primordial Space. Ancestors still had flaws and could perish, but Lords were truly immortal and indestructible.

“Luo Feng became a Lord?” Yuan Xiang Palace Master still clearly remembered the first time he met Luo Feng. At that time, he thought Luo Feng had high potential, much stronger than Palace Master Weiyang and Palace Master Gaitao, so he gifted him fifty billion Primordial Crystals. As for what he gave later, that was when Rainveil City faced a life-or-death crisis and Luo Feng saved it; that wasn't considered a favor. The true favor was the fifty billion Primordial Crystals, which were an immense help to the weak Luo Feng at that time. Before that, Luo Feng could only practice in poverty and couldn’t even afford to buy Primordial Bloodline references.

“Lord Luo Feng said you can visit him in the Dark Holy Land anytime!” Du Fang said enviously. It was incredibly rare for a weak cultivator trapped in a cage to meet a Lord’s true body.

“I understand!” Yuan Xiang Palace Master clearly knew that his single act of kindness had received a return that far exceeded billions of times its value. A favor bestowed upon a Lord could only truly be done when the Lord was still relatively weak among other Lords.

In the Dark World Cluster, Luo Feng gazed into the distance, his sight piercing through countless obstacles to see Yuan Xiang Palace Master. He remembered everyone who had been kind to him throughout his journey.

“It’s time to go to the Eternal Land!”

Luo Feng’s mind stirred. Immediately, a thought descended far away, in a void close to the Eternal Land, beginning to condense an avatar. If it were for combat, he would send his main combat avatar, but condensing an avatar absorbed energy too slowly. To restore it to the strength of a main combat avatar would be less efficient than simply traveling. A regular avatar would suffice for attending the Eternal Land.

In a floating mountain range within a primordial void, one of Luo Feng’s avatars began to condense and gradually absorb energy. The avatar was extremely weak initially, absorbing little energy. As time passed, it grew like a snowball, gradually strengthening and absorbing more energy. After about one Earth day, it finally recovered to about three-thousandths of its total energy reserves. This was considered a very weak avatar, yet it could still sweep aside all World-level Primordial Lifeforms. Only then did Luo Feng head to the Eternal Land.

The Eternal Land’s suppression on all outsiders was terrifying. With Luo Feng’s robust physique, a mere three-thousandths of his energy reserves gave him full confidence of not being suppressed into dust. The area where Luo Feng condensed his avatar was very close to the Eternal Land. Using the power of the blood-colored robe shadow condensed on his body, Luo Feng arrived at the Eternal Land in just moments.

Luo Feng looked at the flat land, feeling immense pressure. His three-thousandths energy reserve was equivalent to about one percent of Moman Lord’s reserve, yet he still felt pressure. Clearly, this environment was only suitable for Ancestor-level and Lord-level lifeforms. At the center of this flat land, there was only an ancient round table, with twenty-nine seats around it.

“Lord Luo Feng has arrived!” A voice from a strange cube sounded in Luo Feng’s ear, conveying goodwill.

“We prepared a seat for you long ago, and you’re only just arriving today!” Kaifuxiu, wearing white battle armor, smiled at Luo Feng. One figure after another appeared. Once they left their mark on a seat for the first time, they could instantly descend with a thought, no longer suffering the suppression of the Eternal Land. Soon, a total of twenty-eight figures appeared, including the seven previous Lords of the cultivation faction, four of the nine emperors from the Innate Primordial Faction, twelve from the Ice Peak Faction, and five solitary ones. They all looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng also walked to an empty seat. A strand of power permeated the seat, and with a single thought, he refined it. The moment it was refined, Luo Feng could sense the other twenty-eight beings through the Eternal Land.

“We have a new companion among us, Lord Luo Feng,” the voice of the strange cube, Moxu, resonated with joy. In the endless Primordial Space, only these immortal and indestructible beings could remain players. Other Ancestors might be very strong, but once they perished, everything became nothing. Only they were eternal. Today, they welcomed their new companion, Lord Luo Feng!
