The Land of Origin, at the top of the high mountain on Hunyuan Island.

"Your greatest confusion now must be about how to break free from the cage?"

Yuan sat down and casually waved his hand, summoning fine wine - a jug before himself and another before Luo Feng.

Glug, glug, glug.....

Yuan drank freely, then glanced at Luo Feng.

"Drink with me. We'll talk as we drink."

"Okay." Only then did Luo Feng pick up the wine jug and take a sip.

"Senior Yuan, please guide me- how should I break free from this cage?"

"You are the only practitioner who cultivates the Fusion path, and your talent is extraordinary. For you, even if there is a portion of the high-level Hunyuan bloodline that aligns with you- you could easily comprehend over seventy percent of it!" Yuan said.

Luo Feng nodded.

"There are two paths ahead that you can take next:

First, become a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform, then strive to cultivate further and ascend to a Hunyuan Lord!

Second, directly comprehend a Hunyuan-level Dao and break through by force, becoming a Hunyuan Lord immediately!"

As the first Lord of the entire practitioner faction, Yuan is intimately familiar with these paths, because of having explored them himself.

Luo Feng listened carefully- after all this concerned his future.

"There are two methods of becoming a World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform:

First, rely on a World-Level Hunyuan bloodline. After breaking through, your thought speed will be hundreds of millions of times faster than now, and your comprehension will also transform. With such comprehension and thought speed, you'll have a sliver of hope to grasp a 'Hunyuan-level Dao'!"

Yuan shook his head lightly.

"The only flaw is that the Hunyuan bloodline will implant an additional will within you, and the bloodline's insights will continue to pollute your memories."

"Will pollution and bloodline(or memory) pollution are the drawbacks of this path?"

"Among the seven Lords, only one lord- Lord Naigu- took this path." Yuan looked at Luo Feng.

"He comprehended the 'Hunyuan Bloodline Dao', mastering its essence and even integrating the bloodlines of multiple Hunyuan Ancestors into himself!"

Luo Feng was shocked when he heard this.

"Integrating multiple Hunyuan Ancestors bloodlines? Mastering the essence of the Bloodline Dao? How powerful must such an existence be?"

"No wonder it's said that every Lord wields the highest level of power in the Infinite Hunyuan Space. Just seven Lords have allowed our practitioner faction to contend with the entire faction of innate Hunyuan Lifeforms until today."

"The second method to become a World-Level Hunyuan lifeform is to first refine a Origin World's source and become its master! This path has no will pollution or memory pollution. It can be considered the smoothest path. Five of the seven Lords took this route - including myself!"

Luo Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Five of the seven Lords chose this path?

"How does one refine their home Origin World's Source?" Luo Feng asked.

"The method has long been spread across all worlds!" Yuan said.

"First, master over half of the Origin World's fundamental Daos, reaching at least the second level of the God King Realm.

Second, spread faith and use it to thoroughly influence all living beings- the Path of Faith!

Its difficulty is extremely high."

"Luo Feng, your talent and potential in illusions are mediocre at best. The Path of Faith isn't suited for you."

"Your strengths are too few. The path of refining your home Origin World's Source isn't suitable for you either."

Yuan spoke with certainty.

Luo Feng nodded in acknowledgment.

Comprehending at least five Daos aligned with the Origin World's Source?

Luo Feng saw no hope.

"Illusions?"

In the Dark Holy Realm, he likely wouldn't even rank in the top ten- how could he qualify to explore the Path of Faith?

"Lastly, there's breaking through by force."

Yuan looked at Luo Feng.

"As a Semi-Hunyuan lifeform, you can directly comprehend a Hunyuan-level Dao, mastering the highest level of power in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, and become a Lord."

"Before Lord Xing Mang, none of us believed a Semi-Hunyuan lifeform could comprehend a Hunyuan-level Dao."

"But Lord Xing Mang achieved it!" Yuan's gaze remained fixed on Luo Feng.

"Xing Mang comprehended the 'Hunyuan Space-time Dao'. As a Semi-Hunyuan lifeform, he broke through by force and became a lord."

"After his ascension, his thought speed and comprehension soared even higher, pushing his strength further!"

"In terms of power and threat to the innate Hunyuan Lifeform faction, Xing Mang ranks first among the seven Lords!" Yuan said.

"As for his contributions to the practitioner faction... I believe they've even surpassed mine."

Luo Feng had heard of this before.

Yuan, as the first lord, had bestowed kindness upon countless practitioners. His contributions to the faction should have been the greatest.

Yet, Yuan himself believed Xingmang's contributions were greater.

Luo Feng thought Yuan was simply being humble, but it also proved Lord Xing Mang's strength.

"You'll understand in the future." Yuan said no more.

"Refining a Origin World's Source isn't suitable for you." Yuan looked at Luo Feng.

"So you have two paths left. First, rely on a World-Level Hunyuan bloodline. Second, break through by force."

"As for the latter path- "

"You must understand, even among the Origin World Masters (Lords who have refined their Origin World's Source), those who've comprehended a Hunyuan-level Dao are exceedingly rare. Most remain trapped at the Origin World Master level!"

Luo Feng nodded.

He understood.

Most Origin World Masters can't comprehend it!

A Semi-Hunyuan being trying to comprehend a Hunyuan-level Dao?

It is truly unbelievable.

"If you want to rely on a world-class Hunyuan bloodline, you must first carefully study and comprehend at least seventy percent of it before refining it," Yuan said.

"That way, your control over the bloodline will be more refined, and the risk of will contamination and memory pollution will also be lower."

Luo Feng nodded.

"I understand!"

"I've said all that needs to be said. How you proceed is your choice." Yuan pointed toward a small building in the distance.

"I've also prepared a gift for you. Study it well."

"Yes!" Luo Feng responded.

Yuan nodded and then vanished into thin air.

He was indeed busy- if it had been an ordinary invincible Realm practitioner, Yuan wouldn't have said this much.

"A gift?" Luo Feng immediately walked to the small building.

Inside, there was only a single silver bracelet placed.

The moment Luo Feng touched the silver bracelet, he refined it in an instant.

"Buzz!"

After refining it, Luo Feng immediately sensed its function!

The silver bracelet contained a storage space filled with some resources!

At the same time, it recorded his own reward points!

"Common resources in the Origin Land are free; precious resources must be exchanged using reward points!"

"Mmm..." Luo Feng sensed a bit and was surprised.

"Reward points from the Infinite Space Treasury can also be used here?"

The Origin Land holds nearly all treasures of the practitioner faction- its treasury is also countless times larger than the the Infinite Space Treasury!

"Even high-level Hunyuan beings and world-class Hunyuan beings make their exchanges here!"

"My total reward points are over 10.21 million?"

Luo Feng looked at the 200,000 reward points under his name- these were from when his spiritual will broke free from the cage.

More than 10,000 points were leftover from the Infinite Space Treasury.

10 million reward points are the reward given to him for becoming a Semi-Hunyuan Fusion Dao practitioner!

The practitioner faction treats this level as potentially able to become a world-class Hunyuan being, so naturally, the reward points are high.

This bracelet also serves a messaging function.

"Contact info for 87,342,513 high-level Hunyuan beings, 237 world-class Hunyuan beings, and 7 Lords?" Luo Feng only understood the messaging functions after exploring it!

The Infinite Hunyuan Space is vast beyond comprehension. Traveling from one point to another can take even a Lord a long time.

That vastness once made messaging extremely difficult!

This bracelet's messaging ability is possible because all practitioners who have broken free from the cage have clones in the Origin Land- making communication easy!

"Seven Lords!"

Luo Feng learned the names of the seven Lords through the contact list.

Of course, without special reasons, practitioners in the Origin Land wouldn't dare to directly contact the Lords.

The seven Lords are currently engaged in a war that will decide the fate of all practitioners- no one would disturb them lightly!

"This cave dwelling of mine has so many functions!" After refining the bracelet, Luo Feng quickly understood the purpose of this cave residence!

This place was specially prepared for generations of Semi-Hunyuan Fusion Dao practitioners!

"Semi-Hunyuan beings have slow mental processing speeds. Even if they want to comprehend world-class Hunyuan bloodlines, it usually takes an extremely long time! So the cave residence's secret room offers time acceleration?" Luo Feng sensed it slightly!

For a Semi-Hunyuan being with long life, time acceleration has a relatively low cost.

This cultivation cave residence's time-acceleration formation was personally set by Lord Xingmang- it can reach up to one million times acceleration!

One epochs outside equals a million epochs inside. The entire cave residence is supplied with unlimited energy and constantly nourishes the body, soul, and mind.

"My current mental processing speed is thousands of times that in the Dark Holy Realm, and my soul feels no discomfort!"

Luo Feng noticed the benefits here!

"With my access level, I can view the complete structure of any Hunyuan bloodline the practitioner faction possesses? I can also inspect any material?"

"This is even more powerful than the Eye of Life and Death and the Book of Wisdom combined!"

Luo Feng immediately understood why some exchangers would return the Book of Wisdom.

Returning it allows the reward points to be refunded- because the observation capability of the Origin Land surpasses the Eye of Life and Death by far!

"This cave residence is priceless!" Luo Feng felt excited. It assists cultivation, accelerates time, and allows the observation of all things- training through life and death!

And these are just the free features. Luo Feng can also use reward points to exchange for rare resources from the practitioner faction!

The practitioner faction provides tremendous support to every Semi-Hunyuan Fusion Dao practitioner- because at least one world-class Hunyuan being and even a Hunyuan Lord has emerged from this path!

"Of the seven Lords, one walks the bloodline path and uses strength to overcome laws."

"And the other five of them were Origin World Masters who later became Lords!"

"There are only two paths for me to move ahead!"

"Lord Naigu was able to succeed because he walked the Hunyuan bloodline path. Bloodline was the nourishment of his cultivation path. Yet no one else who followed the bloodline path became a Lord!"

Luo Feng pondered. He vaguely felt there was a major issue with the bloodline path.

In history, nearly all Fusion Dao practitioners walked this road- yet only Lord Naigu succeeded!

"No matter what, I'll try to break free from the cage through force first!" Luo Feng's eyes showed desire. Anyone confident in themselves will first attempt to comprehend the Dao at the Hunyuan level!

Only when they are utterly hopeless will one turn to the bloodline path!
