Chapter 155: True Self as One (Part Two)

"An Earth Immortal, oh."

Luo Feng subconsciously gave his reply.

The Earth Immortal puppet of the Water Origin Palace wore a resentful expression, as if saying: How can you even deceive yourself, fellow?

Are you an Earth Immortal or not? Don't you know it in your heart?!

Luo Feng gave an awkward smile and coughed twice. Old habits die hard, old habits die hard.

After a moment of thought, Luo Feng patted his hand and said with smug pride, "Actually, calling it an Earth Immortal isn't wrong either."

"In the boundless void, there are millions of paths and systems, and the names of realms vary."

"If we look at my self-created system, it is similar to orthodox immortal cultivation, consisting of a total of four tiers."

"Primordial Ancestral Qi, Golden Elixir of the Five Primodials, Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarch, and Deity Transformation across Myriads of Realms."

Immediately following this, Luo Feng held up four fingers and said with a beaming smile, "The Golden Elixir realm is known as the Terrestrial Immortal, so calling oneself an Earth Immortal is completely correct."

The puppet of the Water Origin Palace was dumbfounded, its mouth twitching. There was even such a logic?!

It muttered resentfully, "Keep spinning your tales, go on, fool away."

This fellow had become excessively cautious; in reality, he wouldn't even reveal the truth to his own avatar.

Luo Feng sneered. Mimicking a civil official in a traditional drama, he projected an air of righteous integrity, flicked his robes, and instantly a vast, upright energy surged upward.

Our friend Luo never tells lies. Back in the day, mentor Teacher Zhao taught us that one must be honest and trustworthy!

If it's called an Earth Immortal, then it's an Earth Immortal.

As for how you choose to interpret it, that is no longer my concern.

Naturally, that applies within the Great Primordial Universe. Should he venture into other heavens and universes,

he would probably just be a minor Primordial cultivator possessing a few Golden Elixir divine abilities.

Perhaps... bearing a trace of Nascent Soul characteristics as well.

Or perhaps he might be a Human Immortal who solely cultivates the physical body, or even just an ordinary Reincarnator...

As for the question of combat prowess?!

Luo Feng's divine sense brushed against the Main God Fragment. To this day, the greatest golden finger of his past life had become as obedient as an arm directing a hand, a finger directing an arm.

...

Some of this information was exposed in plain sight, such as three of the Five Primordials...

However, there was certain information that even the Goddess Doumu and the Jade Emperor Grand Heavenly Lord might not know.

For instance, the "True Self as One" trait was acquired during the Goddess Doumu's ten-thousandth spacetime reboot. The very instant he comprehended it, Luo Feng's thoughts stirred, and he used the Main God Fragment to seal it away.

Only Da Luo methods can counter Da Luo methods, and the Main God Fragment was undoubtedly the handiwork of a Da Luo being.

Although the Jade Emperor Grand Heavenly Lord and the Goddess Doumu treated him with great care, and he was currently aligned with the Heavenly Court's mighty vessel,

having a hidden trump card of his own was always for the best.

Without making some preparations, Luo Feng would feel insecure—perhaps due to the Earthling penchant for hoarding like hamsters and suffering from firepower phobia.

Sealing the True Self as One was purely for peace of mind. Rationally, Luo Feng felt it couldn't be concealed.

But what if it *was* concealed successfully? Then he would have an extra trump card saved up.

Such a full sense of accomplishment!

Glancing at it, the information instantly updated, with data streams fluctuating.

Evaluation: A newcomer to the heavens with slight combat capability

Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction. Look, even the golden finger says I am a newcomer.

I truly am a newcomer.

Time flowed leisurely, and everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

No major events occurred during this period, save for Taibai Jinxing and the Doubu Star Monarch visiting the Water Department to learn the ropes.

They came to study the Water Department's reform measures and emulate the structure of the Water Department's heavenly legal net, in order to improve their own divine officials and subordinates.

This prompted Luo Feng to sigh inwardly that there are no fools in the Heavenly Court; every single being who cultivates into an immortal possesses extremely far-reaching vision.

Taking the essence and discarding the dross, sacrificing short-term gains for long-term benefits—immortals calculate their paths across millennia.

A subtle and exquisite reform quietly unfolded within the Heavenly Court.

As the mastermind behind the reform, Luo Feng reaped countless benefits: the friendship of various great gods and star monarchs, rare heavenly treasures, and most importantly, Heavenly Court divine positions.

He arranged for disciples and members of the Xuanyuan Alliance to take up posts in other divine departments, thereby weaving a massive network of relationships.

Even if it didn't cause any earth-shattering impact, at the very least, whenever there was the slightest stir in the Heavenly Court, Luo Feng would be the first to know.

He sought no grand achievements or fame, desiring only to preserve himself through wisdom.

One day, by the banks of the immortal river, Luo Feng smilingly bid farewell to a Star Monarch grand god after signing a friendship pact, thus concluding his workload for the day.

Suddenly, a refined and spiritually endowed immortal official slowly approached from afar.

"This disciple pays respects to Master."

Drawing near, Jinxin respectfully bowed low.

Luo Feng smilingly helped him up and asked, "Why are you not tending to affairs within the ministry? What brings you to me?"

Jinxin withdrew a cloud-patterned invitation letter from his sleeve and presented it to Luo Feng.

"Reporting to Master, a month from now is the day Patriarch Huaqing attains the Dao."

Luo Feng turned his head with a gentle smile and calculated on his fingers, realizing that thirty years had already passed. Immortals measure years like days, and unconsciously, he had grown accustomed to this concept of time.

...

A month later, at the Heavenly Court's Water Monarch Residence.

Seated upon a straw meditation mat with his eyes closed, Luo Feng divided his thoughts into millions to communicate with his countless avatar puppets, gathering various information from the Great Primordial and experiencing diverse local customs.

He performed synchronous updates to prevent his intelligence from becoming outdated.

Suddenly, the chime of a bell rang out—the dragon mount had arrived.

The Star God lineage was obscenely wealthy, and since Luo Feng had apprenticed under Goddess Doumu, he was considered one of their own.

Having failed to prepare a gift in haste, the Seven Northern Dipper Star Monarchs had bestowed the Nine-Dragon Chariot upon Luo Feng to serve as his vehicle.

Although the independent travel speed of a Golden Immortal far surpassed that of spatial dragons, it lacked proper pageantry.

With nine dragons emerging in full might and majesty, it carried quite a flair for manifesting holiness before others.

Amidst the gathering of various great gods in the Heavenly Court, with Da Luo beings occasionally passing by, Luo Feng had prudently chosen not to display it for show.

Today, descending to the lower realm to attend a banquet, it finally came in handy.

"Jingle, jingle, clank..."

Ethereal immortal music began to play, dragons roared across the nine heavens, the chariot sped through the distance, and golden boys and jade maidens stood on either side.

The spatial dragons traversed millions of mountains and rivers, and before long, a familiar landscape came into view.

It was none other than the mountain gate of the Tai-Er Sect, the very place where Luo Feng had once kept a low profile and hid himself away.

Outside the mountain gate, misty clouds drifted, immortal boats sailed majestically, beast-drawn carriages rolled past, and cranes cried out—evidently others rushing to attend the banquet as well.

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Luo Feng's mouth, for he had spotted an old acquaintance.

The patriarch of the Tai-Er Sect, the transmigrator Golden Immortal known as Tai-Er Immortal, actually had the nerve to step out of his mountain gate.

"Interesting..."

Luo Feng mused with a hint of emotion, involuntarily recalling a certain senior sister who had perished under the heavenly tribulation. Haha.

[Update complete, going to sleep]

Friendly recommendation of a fellow author's book: *Apocalypse Advent*

Luo Bai pressed the elevator's down button. The doors closed, but the elevator began to ascend at super-high speed, breaking Earth's gravity, achieving mechanical ascension, and dumping him onto the planet Bruers.

The Dark Energy Calamity descended, dark matter surged, dark beasts appeared, and the Apocalypse Temple wielded supreme technology, standing high above. Luo Bai was a bit panicked; he first needed to survive, grow stronger, and then live a better, more comfortable life.

Yet when Luo Bai gripped his battle saber, stepped atop a battleship, and ascended to the peak of the planet, he discovered that the so-called 'calamity' was actually 'man-made disaster,' and planet Bruers was merely a mining site for the Casoro civilization.

"What do we do, Brother Luo?" the others behind him asked.

Luo Bai contemplated for a long while, raised his head, and drew his saber: "Keep it simple, hack those bastards!"
