Chapter 14: Master Zuo Shan Ke’s Expectations

Chapter 14: Master Zuo Shan Ke’s Expectations“Master?” Morosa also felt that Luo Feng was overly affected. It was merely an illusion cast by a Void True God.

Luo Feng glanced at the woman in black and nodded: “You may leave first.”

“Suo Ya takes her leave,” said the musician Suo Ya respectfully as she withdrew. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Luo Feng ignored Morosa and the green-clad attendant beside him, choosing instead to drink alone.

In this vast hall, for a moment, neither Morosa nor the green-clad attendant dared to make a sound.

Luo Feng drank silently, his gaze profound.

At this moment, his will was enduring the tempering of the “Seven Emotions Tempering Heart Technique.”

Just like steel is forged through repeated hammering, a being must endure numerous setbacks to gradually grow.

So it was with willpower.

It needed to be honed again and again! The more intense the tempering, the stronger the will would become if it didn’t collapse!

The “Seven Emotions Tempering Heart Technique” was quite unique, using various emotions to temper one’s will. As the secret technique operated, intense emotions surged in waves, continuously impacting his will.

“I’ve been cultivating for too long, and my emotions have become deeper and more restrained. Who would’ve thought that in this Dream Flower Pavilion, I would return to the time when emotions were most intense,” Luo Feng recalled.

“The ‘Lieu Yuan Technique’ contains many methods for cultivating willpower. I had long chosen the ‘Great Destruction Tempering Heart Technique’ to temper my will. Over a century of seclusion, I’ve already cultivated it many times. This secret technique has a high enough limit, whereas the ‘Seven Emotions Tempering Heart Technique’ ultimately has its limits. After all, I can’t always be under emotional impact, or I would go mad,” Luo Feng thought.

The “Great Destruction Tempering Heart Technique” used the concept of total destruction of all things to erode the will!

What Luo Feng needed to do was resist with his will!

Because Morosa was inherently in control of the ‘essence of destruction,’ Luo Feng could directly observe and attempt to condense the great destruction concept, making this secret technique highly efficient.

The essence of destruction was equivalent to the ‘essence of life’ of the original universe! Enslaving a Boundary Beast allowed direct observation of the ‘essence of destruction,’ so Luo Feng naturally focused on the “Great Destruction Tempering Heart Technique.”

“However, those memories are indeed beautiful,” Luo Feng gradually calmed his emotions.

“This musician Suo Ya, is she the one in your Dream Flower Pavilion whose illusion affects emotions the strongest?” Luo Feng suddenly asked.

The green-clad attendant beside him quickly responded, “The strongest illusionist in our Dream Flower Pavilion is, of course, the pavilion master. However, the pavilion master occasionally holds a Hundred Flowers Banquet, which only invited guests can attend. Among the other musicians, there are more than ten who are close to Suo Ya.”

Luo Feng nodded: “Have them play some music.”

“Okay,” the green-clad attendant replied, though somewhat puzzled. An Eternal True God caring so much about a Void True God’s illusion?

In Xuyin City, some Eternal True Gods liked the pavilion master of the Dream Flower Pavilion, with even a few being fanatically infatuated. But… it was unheard of for an Eternal True God to be particularly fond of a Void True God-level illusionist.

Yet since Luo Feng gave the order, the green-clad attendant naturally arranged it immediately.

…

As Luo Feng practiced the “Seven Emotions Tempering Heart Technique,” he consecutively experienced the illusions of these musicians. Although they came from the same lineage, each had their strengths. Some even created illusion worlds where Luo Feng became part of the story.

“Honored One, are you satisfied with these musicians?” the green-clad attendant asked, “Our Dream Flower Pavilion has many other interesting amusements; the musicians’ illusions are just one aspect.”

“That’s enough for today! I’ll come again another time!” Luo Feng stood up and glanced at the petite woman covered in leaves. She looked shy and was named ‘Aloya,’ a plant lifeform from Origin Continent. Her music had a unique charm, evoking the strongest emotions in Luo Feng, far surpassing the other musicians. “This musician Aloya is excellent.”

Saying this, Luo Feng casually tossed a seemingly ordinary grain of sand, which immediately attracted the attention of many beings present.

“Cosmos Sand?” the green-clad attendant was shocked and quickly said, “Honored One, all your expenses at the Dream Flower Pavilion tonight are on us…”

“I don’t like taking advantage,” Luo Feng said as he walked out.

Morosa gathered the nearby wine jugs with a wave and quickly followed, glancing at the grain of Cosmos Sand on the table: “My master has given it to you, so just accept it.”

The green-clad attendant then picked up the Cosmos Sand, marveling at the nascent universe contained within. The night’s expenses were just over two thousand chaos crystals, but this Cosmos Sand was worth far more.

“Aloya, the Honored One was very pleased with your music, here’s a reward of 10 chaos crystals,” the green-clad attendant said.

“Thank you, Manager Yuluo,” the plant lifeform ‘Aloya’ joyfully bowed, while the other musicians could only look on with envy. They could only receive the basic service fee, whereas Aloya clearly won the Eternal True God’s favor.

In the deepest part of the Dream Flower Pavilion, under the cover of a grand array, was an inconspicuous small building.

A figure in loose robes stood there, her gaze taking in most of the scenes of the Dream Flower Pavilion.

“Pavilion Master,” the green-clad attendant said respectfully, “that Eternal True God has left, and he even paid with a grain of Cosmos Sand.”

The pavilion master nodded slightly: “Tell me all the information about him in detail.”

“Yes,” the green-clad attendant replied respectfully, “His servant had come to us multiple times before, but this was the first time for this unknown Eternal True God. At the Dream Flower Pavilion, he only cared about musical illusions.”

“Those musicians are only Void True Gods, and normally should have little effect on an Eternal True God,” the green-clad attendant said. “But he seemed to like them very much.”

“He even shed tears listening to them, which is quite remarkable,” the green-clad attendant was puzzled. “And from what he said, he will come again.”

The pavilion master smiled gently: “All beings have their peculiarities. This unknown Eternal True God might be more emotionally volatile.”

“If those musicians’ illusions had such an effect on him, should the pavilion master personally take action…” the green-clad attendant suggested, “he might become fanatically infatuated with the pavilion master.”

The pavilion master gazed out the window.

Over the long years, only two Eternal True Gods had been infatuated with her. After all, Eternal True Gods had extraordinary willpower; even if they were momentarily immersed, they would recover once the illusion ended. Genuine infatuation was exceedingly rare.

“When he returns, tell him I will hold a ‘Hundred Flowers Banquet’ in ten days and invite him to attend,” the pavilion master said softly.

“Yes, Pavilion Master,” the green-clad attendant replied respectfully.

…

A day on Origin Continent was very long. In the following days, Luo Feng, besides cultivating, was taken by Morosa to various places to spend and broaden his experiences.

When he visited the Dream Flower Pavilion again, Luo Feng received an invitation.

“Honored One,” the green-clad attendant greeted warmly, “our pavilion master will host a Hundred Flowers Banquet in ten days. Many Eternal True Gods from Xuyin City will be invited. The pavilion master also invites you to attend.”

“The pavilion master’s Hundred Flowers Banquet?” Luo Feng was surprised. “In ten days?”

“Yes, in ten days! The next Hundred Flowers Banquet might not be for several eras,” the green-clad attendant said.

Luo Feng smiled: “Since I’m invited, I would be delighted to attend and witness the pavilion master’s illusion skills.”

“May I ask your esteemed name? The Hundred Flowers Banquet requires some advance preparations,” the green-clad attendant asked.

“Luo He,” Luo Feng replied.

The green-clad attendant memorized the name carefully.

This Hundred Flowers Banquet was actually organized for this Eternal True God. If this Eternal True God, ‘Luo He,’ became fanatically infatuated with the pavilion master, her influence in Xuyin City would naturally increase significantly.

In the peripheral region of the original universe.

Master Zuo Shan Ke was very reclusive, almost never interacting with other True Gods. At this moment, he left his small universe alone, flying towards Luo Feng’s small universe.

“I’ve been away from Origin Continent for just over ten thousand eras, but the time flow in the original universe region is tens of thousands of times faster than in Origin Continent. I’ve waited too long here!”

“During this long period, I’ve remained just a True God, with no significant progress in strength,” Zuo Shan Ke’s ancient face showed desolation, “only enduring the torment of time passing.”

As he thought, Zuo Shan Ke flew continuously towards Luo Feng’s small universe. Finally, he could see the vast small universe from afar.

“Hmm?” Zuo Shan Ke paused, his eyes widened as he carefully observed Luo Feng’s small universe.

“The rate of absorbing chaotic energy has significantly slowed down.” Zuo Shan Ke was somewhat excited. “It seems Luo

Feng’s divine body has finally grown to its limit.”

“His small universe, with a diameter of over a trillion light-years, absorbs a massive amount of chaotic energy every moment! With such sustained absorption for so long… cumulatively, his divine body in Origin Continent should be between 150 billion and 200 billion kilometers in height.” Zuo Shan Ke, once a Divine King of the Jin Dynasty, was very precise in judging energy scales.

“Good, good, good.”

Zuo Shan Ke’s eyes shone with excitement, “Such a vast divine body, far surpassing others at the same level. When he becomes a Divine King in the future, just based on divine power advantage, even ten or eight Divine Kings combined wouldn’t compare.”

“With Luo Feng here, I have hope for revenge.” Zuo Shan Ke harbored boundless hatred in his heart. Everything he cherished had been destroyed by the three lords of Shiguo.

His senior apprentice sister and wife, his friends and brothers, his numerous fellow disciples…

All were gone.

Since that day, Zuo Shan Ke had only one thought in his mind—revenge!

For this, he was willing to pay any price!

Everything he did in the original universe was for this goal. He was fortunate to have nurtured Luo Feng!

“My strength is far weaker than the top lord of Shiguo, the lord of Tiankun Kingdom. I barely escaped with my life by relying on a treasure. In direct combat, I stand no chance.”

Zuo Shan Ke knew this very well, “Only if Luo Feng grows stronger, do I have hope for revenge.”

“Based on his vast divine body alone, Luo Feng should be able to overpower those three lords of Shiguo!” Zuo Shan Ke thought.

After Luo Feng ventured into reincarnation and went to Origin Continent, Zuo Shan Ke stayed in the original universe region to monitor Luo Feng’s divine power reserves.

Now, Zuo Shan Ke was relieved.

“It’s time to prepare for reincarnation. I’ve been away from Origin Continent for far too long.” Zuo Shan Ke immediately flew back to his small universe to start the final preparations for his reincarnation attempt.
