Chapter 195: Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion and Two Realms Pavilion
Luo Feng led the way, and Divine King Wuxin used the Heaven-Hiding Escape Technique to bring the team close.
“Look.”
Luo Feng looked into the distance. A few swaying purple flowers glowed with a faint purple light in the distance ahead, radiating a powerful allure to cultivators like them.
“Rare treasures born of the Dream Domain,” observed Emperor Guixu, “are immensely beneficial to all of us confined within the Membrane of Confinement. These are fairly common ‘Purple Heart Realm Flowers’. Each is worth three million merits. From here, I count seven of them.”
On the Origin Continent, the value of treasures was evaluated using the merit system of the two Ancient Kingdoms.
“Where are the Dream Domain creatures?” Divine King Wuxin asked.
“There.” Luo Feng pointed into the distance. “Around those flowers. They look like ordinary trees, but are in fact living plant beings. Get too close, and you’ll be attacked by all nine of them.”
Luo Feng identified the nine unremarkable trees.
Emperor Guixu looked on. “They’re not difficult to deal with, but we must be careful not to damage the treasures. As we agreed earlier—Yuntian will release her poisonous mist, Wuxin and I will strike! Luo He will protect the treasures.”
Wuxin, Yuntian, and Luo Feng all nodded.
Luo Feng understood clearly—when it came to profound techniques, he was no match for Divine King Wuxin or Emperor Guixu! His advantage lay in his many clones and resilience. So at critical moments, he could stall the Dream Domain creatures to protect the treasures.
“Let’s go.”
Under the veil of the Heaven-Hiding Escape Technique, the four of them swiftly approached the location of the purple flowers.
Buzz~~~~
Invisible rules began to ripple. The four of them became visible as the nine tree beings, guided by the rules of the realm, extended massive branches like great hands to envelop them. Roots burst from the ground, coiling toward them.
“In the Dream Domain, treasures seem to be pivotal to its operation. The moment you get close to one, the domain’s operational rules will force any escape technique to fail. Even the foreign races from the Two Realms Pavilion, Ten Thousand Laws Tower, or Time-Space Ark will be revealed if they get near a treasure,” Luo Feng thought. Although it was his first time in the Dream Domain, he could already perceive its rules.
The rules governing the Dream Domain were unique—entirely distinct from the Supreme Laws of the Origin Continent.
They weren’t as perfect as the Supreme Laws of the Origin Continent—but their level was still far higher than what any lifeform within the Membrane of Confinement could touch.
Shhhhhh~~~
The nine tree beings—three of them were more terrifying than the Heavenly Kun Ruler in terms of power; the other six were formidable, at least at the peak of the First Stage Divine King. But all of them moved clumsily and lacked intelligence—common traits of Dream Domain creatures.
At that moment, the nine tree beings began to corrode invisibly. Their bodies showed signs of damage. The six weaker ones were riddled with holes almost instantly, and even the three stronger ones suffered significant losses in strength.
“What terrifying poison,” Luo Feng was stunned. “I heard this poison corrodes not just the flesh, but even the soul! One of the Divine Kings from the Ancient Thunder Kingdom’s royal family was struck by it, and his soul was instantly destroyed—completely dead before he could even reincarnate.”
This was the power of Divine King Yuntian!
Her poison didn’t belong to any category under the Supreme Laws. It originated from a terrifying toxin unearthed from her Primordial Bloodline. Even a small application of it was enough to strike fear into any being below the Ultimate Divine King level.
Even Emperor Guixu and Divine King Wuxin had to deal with it cautiously.
“Invisible, colorless, impossible to detect—these Dream Domain creatures have all been hit,” Luo Feng now understood why the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion had broken precedent to recruit a First Stage Divine King.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Three terrifying bolts of lightning struck the three powerful tree beings, leaving them utterly battered. Emperor Guixu appeared with eight arms, each wielding a weapon of immense power. With eight simultaneous strikes, in the blink of an eye, the three damaged tree beings were completely obliterated.
Divine King Wuxin was even faster. He executed just six sword strikes—each targeting a weakened tree being. All six were annihilated in those six moves.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng used the power of the world to shield the treasures, ready to take hits with his own body if necessary.
Fortunately, Emperor Guixu and Divine King Wuxin were swift and clean in their actions, leaving the surrounding flowers and grass untouched.
“Emperor Guixu, according to intel, cultivates the Origin Path of Matter. Yet his eight arms can unleash lightning, bloodlight, flames, and water techniques—eight attacks in total. Working together, even a Second Stage Divine King would fall,” Luo Feng noted the terrifying synergy of the eight techniques.
In terms of raw strength, Luo Feng could go head-to-head with a strong plant lifeform.
But to destroy them? That was beyond his capability.
This clean and efficient annihilation, though aided by Divine King Yuntian’s poison, still left Luo Feng shocked by Emperor Guixu’s might.
No wonder, even after handing over a secret treasure and being ambushed by three Emperors using well-prepared killing moves, he could still reincarnate.
And what he displayed now probably wasn’t even his desperate trump card—but ordinary moves.
“That was fairly easy,” Emperor Guixu smiled as he examined the purple flowers. “These seven ‘Purple Heart Realm Flowers’ are of good quality. Wuxin, go ahead and pick them.”
Divine King Wuxin nodded.
Luo Feng and Divine King Yuntian stood watching from the side—everything had already been agreed upon in advance.
Among the four of them, Divine King Wuxin had the strongest survival abilities and was thus the most suitable to carry the treasures. They would only divide the spoils once they exited the Dream Domain.
As previously agreed upon, Emperor Guixu and Divine King Wuxin would each receive 35%, Luo He, who was responsible for scouting, would get 20%, and Divine King Yuntian would receive 10%. In the harsh environment of the Dream Domain, pathfinding was incredibly important.
If someone made significant contributions during the process, the group would also amicably renegotiate and adjust the distribution ratio afterward.
Divine King Wuxin was extremely skilled and swiftly harvested all seven Purple Heart Realm Flowers, then turned to Luo Feng with a smile. “Brother Luo He, how many treasures we can obtain depends on how many you can find.”
“I’m doing my best to search,” said Luo Feng. He had dispatched his nine clones, each venturing into various regions despite the danger.
Time passed.
Their team was highly efficient, discovering a treasure site on average every one or two days. These treasures were all immensely beneficial even to Second Stage Divine Kings, and each held substantial value.
Luo Feng was in an excellent mood. With his 20% share, he earned at least a million merits with each find—much faster than completing guest missions for the Ancient Flame Kingdom.
Emperor Guixu, Divine King Wuxin, and Divine King Yuntian remained composed—they were already used to this. For someone at Emperor Guixu’s level, earning a hundred million merits in one trip to the Dream Domain was entirely normal.
Of course, if they failed and their true bodies died here, the loss would be immense!
Both Emperor Guixu and Divine King Yuntian had died in battle in these treasure lands—more than once, in fact! Fortunately, they had long extracted a portion of their Primordial Bloodline from their true bodies and stored it externally. As long as they had sufficient treasures to nurture it, they could train themselves back to power.
Aside from his one intentional death and reincarnation, Divine King Wuxin had indeed never died while adventuring in these treasure lands.
“In this space alone, I’ve already received over ten million merits worth of treasures,” Luo Feng thought. “According to plan, we’re set to explore five spaces within the middle layer of the Dream Domain.”
The more spaces they explored, the more likely unexpected events would occur.
These dangers might stem from the Dream Domain itself—or from other cultivators.
The plan to explore five spaces was based on Emperor Guixu and his team’s past experience. Luo Feng estimated that, with luck, the total haul could reach over one hundred million merits.
This was the kind of resource that true powerhouses on the Origin Continent truly valued. Compared to these treasure lands, ruling a nation offered far less enticing resources. Only the average Divine Kings, Chaos Realm cultivators, disciples, and family members under their command needed to occupy territory.
The Two Realms Pavilion team was also exploring a space within a mountainous forest.
“Hmm?”
The white-haired Palace Master suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
The other six Second Stage Divine Kings in the team turned toward the Palace Master, trusting in his abilities.
“Interesting.” After locking onto a wisp of aura, the white-haired Palace Master looked far ahead. His gaze followed the aura’s transmission across endless distance and saw Luo Feng’s team in action.
“That’s a team from the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion, and one of them is Guixu,” the Palace Master said with a smile.
In these treasure lands, everyone operated under concealment. That way, even if they acquired valuable treasures, the Origin Continent wouldn’t be able to uncover their real identities.
But Emperor Guixu didn’t care—he was someone who couldn’t show his face even in the outside world.
“Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion?”
“Again them?” The six Second Stage Divine Kings behind him all showed hostility.
Though the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion had few members, they repeatedly seized treasures. In contrast, the Two Realms Pavilion had more losses than wins, suffering greatly and naturally growing increasingly hostile.
“Since we’ve run into old friends from the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion, of course we must send them a gift,” the Palace Master said. “We previously discovered a Dream Domain Creature Tribe that’s extremely protective. Jiuyu… go capture one of their creatures and lure the entire tribe to the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion’s team.”
“Let the Dream Domain Creature Tribe severely injure them first. Then we’ll make our move and wipe them out in one go. Kill as many true bodies as possible.” The Palace Master’s eyes were cold.
He united the members of the Two Realms Pavilion.
But toward those outside the Pavilion—especially those who competed with him for treasures—he was never soft-hearted.
“Palace Master, leave it to me.” The winged woman grew excited.
“That team from the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion must have already explored several Dream Domain spaces by now. Their haul is likely substantial. Destroying their true bodies might earn us some of their treasures too.”
“That team destroyed my true body last time,” one of them said coldly.
One by one, they brimmed with hostility.
Luo Feng and the other three were drinking and enjoying delicacies by a lakeshore. Of course, Luo Feng’s nine clones were still out treasure hunting.
“This forest space will only need a few more treasure searches,” said Emperor Guixu, “then we can move to the next Dream Domain space.”
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded. “The easily obtainable treasures have already been collected. What’s left are ones with tight defenses—some guarded by Ultimate Dream Domain Creatures, others by massive Dream Domain Creature Tribes.”
“Hmm?” Divine King Wuxin suddenly frowned and looked into the distance.
Emperor Guixu, Divine King Yuntian, and Luo Feng also grew alert—but their sensory abilities didn’t match that of Divine King Wuxin.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a winged woman carrying a stone creature burst out from the void and charged directly at Luo Feng’s team.
“From the Two Realms Pavilion?” Though they didn’t recognize her true identity, Emperor Guixu and the others had seen this disguise many times before.
“Here’s a gift for you,” the winged woman sneered.
Boom!
As she and the stone creature neared Emperor Guixu’s group, they seemed to trigger an invisible ripple—then suddenly exploded into dust.
“Rumble~~~” Towering stone creatures emerged from the void—followed by smaller ones. At a glance, there were hundreds of them, densely packed.
These stone creatures floated in mid-air. Some even shed tears, but then glared at Luo Feng’s group with overwhelming hatred. Their fury made the surrounding world turn blood-red, and their oppressive aura left Luo Feng and his companions deeply alarmed.
Far away, the Two Realms Pavilion team, led by their Palace Master, was using a secret technique to observe the unfolding scene.
