Within the membrane wall, Lord Moman was deeply focused on studying the "stone heart."

Luo Feng also sat cross-legged nearby, assisting by maintaining the protective barrier.

Observing the stone heart, Luo Feng felt a surge of curiosity. However, he dared not touch it with his Life-Death Force.

Instead, he carefully extended a thread of his consciousness to probe it, thinking, "Let's try to sense it."

As his consciousness penetrated the stone heart, he sensed terrifying Waves emanating from it.

With his current understanding, he couldn't comprehend the mysteries of these Waves.

Focusing on the stone heart itself, he felt an overwhelming sense of depth and weight, far surpassing any living being he knew, whether Lord Wulan or the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor. Even they paled in comparison to the profound depth of the stone heart.

"This has nothing to do with 'Life' or 'Destruction'," Luo Feng thought, puzzled, "I can't understand it at all. Unlike the remains of the Hunyuan Ancestors, whose Secret Patterns and mysteries are relatively stable - I could at least categorize them. But the mysteries I sense in this 'stone heart' are constantly shifting and fluctuating."

"If you don't understand the Dao of Wave, you can't comprehend the changes," Luo Feng said, shaking his head gently, "The threshold for comprehending it is truly high."

Even Lord Moman, who mastered the Hunyuan Wave Dao, needed Luo Feng's assistance to reach this place. That alone suggested the threshold for comprehension would be exceptionally high.

However, the more powerful the Mysterious Land, the higher the threshold to glimpse its core becomes - unreasonably so!

Take the Eternal Land, for example.

Although Luo Feng and others could secure seats there, none could see its core.

The Abyss of Destruction? Only three individuals have ever gained entry to the Mountain of Destruction, and even they haven't found the core. All they know is that passing the Sevenfold Trial grants control over the Abyss of Destruction.

The Hell Fire Prison Wall? Only the Chu Shi Hunyuan Ancestor could cross it unaided. As for the core? It remains unseen.

"Compared to those three places, the Land of Waves, where we can actually see the core, is already quite favorable," Luo Feng thought.

Since he couldn't unravel the mystery, he stopped wasting time and focused on refining his combat techniques.

He had already created four combat techniques by combining the Hunyuan Life and Death Dao and the Hunyuan Blade Dao.

Now, he continued to perfect his fifth technique: The Clone Combat Technique.

..........

"They should have entered the Land of Waves by now."

Lord Xingmang, a cold and stern youth, gazed into the distance. Though he couldn't directly observe the Land of Waves, Lord Moman had once sought his assistance, revealing to him the cyclical patterns of the realm's manifestation.

During that earlier visit, Lord Xingmang's Time-Space techniques proved utterly useless within the Land of Waves, limiting his ability to aid Lord Moman. Ultimately, they failed to reach the core of the realm.

"After having been absent for so long, perhaps they have finally reached the core?" Lord Xingmang smiled faintly, "Based on my analysis, the Land of Waves appears to be a mid-tier Mysterious Land."

Some Hunyuan Ancestors conceal their true capabilities.

For instance, does Shazhou truly control a Mysterious World?

Do we have any more detailed information about the Hermit?

Does the Pu Zhi Hunyuan Ancestor possess a Mysterious World?

These are matters difficult to confirm.

According to the known information, only the Infinite World controlled by the Infinite Serpent Hunyuan Ancestor could be considered a mid-tier Mysterious World.

Even the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's successful Refinement might have benefited from the Infinite World's advantage in nurturing Life.

After all, even a World-Level Infinite Serpent Progeny could harness the power of the Infinite World to descend anywhere within the Infinite Hunyuan Space and return at will.

"The Infinite Serpent Ancestor is the first to control a mid-tier Mysterious World."

"I wonder who will be the second," Lord Xingmang thought, "Once Luo Feng's combat technique matures further, I'll ask for his help."

Lord Xingmang's understanding of the Infinite Hunyuan Space is unparalleled, and he had long since discovered a mid-tier Mysterious World particularly suitable for him.

As one who mastered two Hunyuan-level Daos, ordinary Mysterious Lands like the Time Star offered him little benefit.

His strength had long since reached a bottleneck, making further progress extremely difficult.

A mid-tier Mysterious World tailored to his needs was of paramount importance.

******

An entire epoch passed unnoticed.

Within the Land of Waves, inside the membrane wall-

"Hmm?"

Luo Feng, who had been standing guard nearby, suddenly noticed the membrane wall becoming increasingly ethereal. Even the countless massive waves beyond the wall, which had previously seemed tangible, began to fade and dissipate.

"The waves are weakening. Is this Land of Waves beginning to conceal itself?" Luo Feng observed intently.

The once-impenetrable stone heart's outer layers also grew fragile and translucent, revealing its core: an incomparably brilliant "point" that seemed to be both a point and a wave.

"Is this the true form of the core?" Luo Feng wondered, attempting to send a sliver of his consciousness into it.

As the waves weakened, the stone heart became increasingly fragile. Its outer layers completely dissolved, leaving only the core point.

Luo Feng's consciousness penetrated without resistance, making contact with the point-

"Buzz!"

The moment his consciousness touched the point-

Luo Feng vaguely perceived the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space.

But he saw it from the perspective of the "waves." In this "wave world," the Origin Worlds were utterly insignificant. He even sensed some more powerful Mysterious Lands.

"That is--"

Luo Feng sensed three terrifying vortexes of wave.

These three locations!

They were unmistakably three massive wave whirlpools. Drawing on his knowledge of the Infinite Hunyuan Space's territory, Luo Feng swiftly deduced their corresponding positions.

"The Abyss of Destruction, the Eternal Land, and the Hell Fire Prison Wall," Luo Feng confirmed.

These three locations corresponded to the three largest wave whirlpools.

The Hell Fire Prison Wall, within the Wave World, radiated boundless "thermal waves," its heat blazingly intense. Stretching over a hundred World Clusters in length and exceeding the width of a single World Cluster, it was permeated with the highest-level Flame Power. These boundless thermal waves permeated every corner of the Endless Space.

Whether the life in Origin Worlds or the countless Hunyuan Lifeforms, the vast majority of their existence had been influenced by these invisible thermal waves.

"The Hell Fire Prison Wall actively radiates boundless thermal waves."

"But the Abyss of Destruction devours countless waves?"

In the Wave World, the Abyss of Destruction consumed the intense negative emotions of countless beings- hatred, killing intent, resentment, and bitterness.

These boundless negative emotions, in turn, influenced the Abyss of Destruction's will.

"Could the Eternal Land be the key to the Infinite Hunyuan Space's existence?"

In Luo Feng's perception, the Eternal Land balanced the Hell Fire Prison Wall and the Abyss of Destruction, indirectly influencing all Mysterious Lands and countless World Clusters.

The existence of the Eternal Land ensures the Infinite Hunyuan Space can endure indefinitely.

Without it, the terrifying energies within the Infinite Hunyuan Space would have long since coalesced into devastating energy storms, making it impossible for so many fragile lifeforms to survive.

"The Hell Fire Prison Wall, the Abyss of Destruction, and the Eternal Land- they seem to function as the three poles of the Infinite Hunyuan Space!" Luo Feng thought, gaining deeper insight into the space from the perspective of Wave.

"I need to pay more attention to the Abyss of Destruction."

"It would be best if i can pass the Sevenfold Trial and gain mastery over the Abyss of Destruction," Luo Feng thought.

Among these three poles, he saw no hope of refining the other two, but at least he had a direction to pursue with the Abyss of Destruction.

"Whoosh-"

As Luo Feng sensed the Wave World, that point- or rather, that wave- vanished completely.

The Land of Waves had utterly disappeared!

The region where Luo Feng and Lord Moman stood returned to normal time-space.

"Gone?" Luo Feng felt a pang of loss. This core of a mid-tier Mysterious Land had greatly expanded his understanding of the Infinite Hunyuan Space.

"The Land of Waves seemed real, its stone heart seemed indestructible," Lord Moman remarked with a chuckle, "But in truth, it was merely a convergence of Waves. Once the peak of their combination was reached, they dispersed and vanished completely."

Luo Feng said, "I feel like the Land of Waves has completely dissipated."

Lord Moman looked at Luo Feng.

"Strictly speaking, the peak of the Wave is where the Land of Wave is most condensed. But once the Wave begins to decline, the Land of Waves rapidly disperses. At the Wave's lowest point, as I estimate it, the Land of Waves should actually spread throughout the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space."

Luo Feng understood.

"So it can be as small as a single point, or expand to fill the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space? Fascinating!"

A Mysterious Land that constantly changes- indeed, that's special.

"Let's go," Lord Moman said with a smile.

"Moman, are you confident you can refine it?" Luo Feng asked.

Lord Moman shook his head.

"My strength isn't enough."

Even if he managed to reach the core through some trick, he still wouldn't be able to refine it.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Luo Feng asked.

"You've already been of great help this time," Lord Moman said with a smile.

Luo Feng didn't press the matter further and immediately departed with Lord Moman.

"The Land of Waves...l."

Lord Moman's black cloak billowed in the wind, his gaze distant.

"This time, I've finally figured out how to refine it! For me, the simplest method is to comprehend a highest-level of 'World Power'."

The Hunyuan Wave Dao, combined with a highest-level of World Power!

That's already the simplest path.

Lord Moman, having experienced the Infinite Hunyuan Space as a "wave" over countless epochs, gained profound insights into the world. This led him to believe that mastering a World Power represented his best hope for advancement.

"To comprehend a World Power beyond the Dao of Waves? This path is arduous; even billions of epochs might not be suffice," Lord Moman thought. Yet he had already resolved to follow this course.

If he succeeded, gaining another highest-level power, combined with the enhancement of the Land of Waves, his strength would skyrocket.

"Once I master a World Power, I won't need Luo Feng's assistance. I can reach the core on my own," Lord Moman thought.

...........

After accompanying Lord Moman to the Land of Waves, Luo Feng returned to secluded cultivation to create combat techniques.

A hundred epochs passed.

"The fifth combat technique is complete."

On the 28th Level of the Abyss of Destruction, Luo Feng's aura surged rapidly, quickly reaching the level of his Main Combat Clone.

"With these five combat techniques, my entire combat system is now fully formed."

Luo Feng knew that even if he spent time refining one or two more techniques, it would be difficult to achieve any significant improvement.

After having mastered two Hunyuan-level Daos and possessing a complete set of five combat techniques, his strength had reached a bottleneck.

From now on, even the slightest progress would be extremely difficult!

Lord Xingmang was also in a similar state.

As for comprehending a third Dao? The hope was too faint.

"The Abyss of Destruction, from the perspective of Wave, is one of the three poles of the Infinite Hunyuan Space."

"I wonder if my current strength can reach the deepest levels of the Abyss of Destruction?"

"Whoosh!"

With a single step, Luo Feng traversed Time-Space and entered the deeper 29th Level.
