Wu and Jin

The Dry Wilds Tribe, with its billion members, was an extremely powerful tribe. Youngsters like Luo Feng, who traveled the world to temper themselves, were common and didn't warrant an audience with the tribal elders. However, Luo Feng received warm hospitality from hundreds of families around the child's home, and even powerful warriors came to spar with him. “What a battle-loving race,” Luo Feng mused. The vast mountain range. “Boom!” “Boom!” The Evil Beast and the Rampaging Demon God were locked in a furious battle. “Idiot, is that all the power you have?” the Rampaging Demon God roared. “Come on, come on, come on!” “You’ve angered me, you’ve angered me!” the Evil Beast bellowed furiously. The Rampaging Demon God, however, grew even more arrogant, not backing down in the slightest. Inwardly, it muttered, “Hmm, I’ve learned the pronunciation for ‘fire’ now.” Powerful beings naturally possess exceptional memory. Since no one in the Cosmic Ocean had ever spoken this language, the Rampaging Demon God didn't even know its pronunciations. But now, hearing the Evil Beast's 'pronunciations' and understanding the meaning instantly through the ancient civilization's common tongue, it could grasp the meaning corresponding to each sound. Learning this language was thus incredibly easy. The Rampaging Demon God continuously provoked the Evil Beast, diligently learning the pronunciation of each 'word'. In just half an hour of fighting, it had already mastered over 300 pronunciations. “Your power is no good, no good!” the Rampaging Demon God shrieked. “Roar~~” The Evil Beast was truly enraged. This outsider, relying on its 'combat armor' for protection, put it at a significant disadvantage in a fight. Creatures like itself, living freely and claiming any territory in the wild mountains, didn't possess precious combat armor. “Anger you, just anger you, just anger you!” the Rampaging Demon God shrieked, throwing back the pronunciations it had just learned. “You... you... truly despicable!” The Evil Beast finally stopped. The Rampaging Demon God secretly rejoiced, having learned the pronunciation for 'despicable'. It wasn't foolish... encountering a True God-level existence right after entering Jinzhi World. Clearly, the native lifeforms of Jinzhi World might be unimaginably powerful, making learning the 'language' crucial. And the best way to learn a language... was to focus on one speaker! “I'll just torment you, pester you, and force you to keep talking. And I'll only offend you,” the Rampaging Demon God thought to itself. “You... damn you!” The Evil Beast suddenly threw its head back and roared, “All of you, come here. This fellow is troublesome, it has combat armor. Kill it, and we'll share the spoils.” The sound, accompanied by surging divine power, echoed far and wide. The maximum speed within Jinzhi World was equivalent to 'ten thousand times the speed of light in the Original Universe'. In mere seconds, powerful figures, various ferocious alien beasts, swiftly emerged from different directions across the vast mountain range. The Rampaging Demon God looked around; a full twelve figures appeared in the sky, each one a True God. “Can't beat them, so call for backup!” the Rampaging Demon God immediately shrieked, transforming into a streak of light and fleeing swiftly. “Catch him.” “Don't let it escape.” “It has combat armor.” “Catch it.” The previous Evil Beast, along with the twelve newly appeared figures, flew from distant directions, encircling and attacking the Rampaging Demon God. The Dry Wilds Tribe stretched endlessly, home to a vast population. In one area, two figures moved like lightning, constantly shifting and clashing furiously. “Bang!” Luo Feng's kick, carrying dazzling golden light like a falling, burning star, slammed directly into his opponent's chest, sending the burly man tumbling far away to crash violently into a distant small peak, causing many large rocks to immediately tumble down the mountain. “Yinhe!” The tumbling big man leaped up and flew over, holding a black staff, shouting, “That kick of yours was truly powerful, I didn't even have time to block it. I've sparred with other travelers who came to our tribe before, but none of them were as strong as you.” “Uncle Yinhe must have traveled to many, many tribes!” Hundreds of children watching from afar cheered and ran over when the fight stopped, especially the child leading them, who was jumping with joy. “Haha,” Luo Feng chuckled, patting the head of the child named Zhen Mo'e. He had been a guest in the Dry Wilds Tribe for three days now. During these three days, Luo Feng had cultivated the image of a typical traveler—obsessed with combat. Through sparring and conversing with the Dry Wilds Tribe warriors, and talking with many other tribesmen... he gained an increasing understanding of the entire Jinzhi World. Firstly, Jinzhi World was an incredibly vast world. Although Luo Feng hadn't learned the exact figures, he understood that its diameter definitely exceeded a trillion light-years! While Jinzhi World appeared small when viewed from outside as a miniature universe, it was much larger on the inside. It was several levels larger than a Sacred Land Universe; perhaps only the 'Original Universe' in the Cosmic Ocean could surpass Jinzhi World. “Jinzhi World is truly extraordinary,” Luo Feng murmured to himself, looking at the young Zhen Mo'e beside him. Jinzhi World contained countless tribes! These tribes fought fiercely for living space, and their warriors were exceptionally powerful. Moreover, once a lifeform was born in 'Jinzhi World', they would all become Immortals upon reaching adulthood! They breathed the energy of 'Jinzhi World' from birth, and over time, naturally mastered a law. Becoming an Immortal was something every single one achieved. After some refinement, they could become Law Venerables (Cosmic Venerables). However, becoming a Law Master (Cosmic Master) was extremely difficult; typically, only one powerful warrior (Law Master) would emerge from a hundred ordinary warriors (Law Venerables). True Gods were even rarer. Beings surpassing True Gods? Incredibly rare, but through his conversations, Luo Feng confirmed—they definitely existed. The Dry Wilds Tribe itself had one such being, the greatest and most revered existence in the entire tribe—the tribal chief, 'Dry Wilds'! It was due to this chief's power that the Dry Wilds Tribe's status was incredibly stable, making it an extremely strong tribe. “Transcend reincarnation, transcend reincarnation!” Luo Feng was thrilled upon hearing this news. As long as one surpassed True God, they could successfully transcend reincarnation! If even the Dry Wilds Tribe had an existence surpassing True Gods... then the entire Jinzhi World must contain many such formidable beings. The powerhouses of various Cosmic Ocean factions, seeking to transcend reincarnation, had certainly come to the right place to find opportunities in Jinzhi World. “Beifeng,” Luo Feng said to his best sparring friend, Beifeng, on his sixth day in the Dry Wilds Tribe, “I'm leaving.” “Leaving? Are you continuing your travels?” Beifeng's voice was rough. Beifeng was an extremely talented and powerful warrior. According to the tribe's assessment, Beifeng would definitely become a True God! Among the many Cosmic Masters Luo Feng had sparred with... Beifeng was arguably the most challenging, though Luo Feng could still overpower him, which led to their mutual admiration. “No! This time, I plan to join the army,” Luo Feng said, gazing into the distance. “The army?” Beifeng's eyes lit up. “Yes, I've traveled for a long time, it's time to join the army. I want to become even stronger. Joining my King's army is the best way. That's where countless powerhouses from our entire Jinzhi World gather,” Luo Feng's voice was filled with anticipation. Indeed, only after learning various pieces of information within the tribe did he realize that the countless tribes within Jinzhi World also referred to this world as 'Jinzhi World'. Secondly, the entire Jinzhi World had a common master—the great God King! Luo Feng even learned through conversations that Jinzhi World was merely one of the great God King's factions, primarily intended to train armies and forge powerhouses. Only true super powerhouses would receive the God King's summons to leave Jinzhi World and fight and bleed for the God King. “To fight for the God King!” This was the aspiration of every native lifeform in Jinzhi World. However—the God King had not taken any super powerhouses from 'Jinzhi World' for a very, very long time. When he first learned this news, Luo Feng was somewhat bewildered. The entire Jinzhi World... belonged to one God King? Because he had received the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance, Luo Feng also knew that ancient civilizations were divided into many factions. For example, 'Wu' was one such faction, and the supreme leader of this super faction was referred to as 'Your Majesty'. Luo Feng had learned bits and pieces of this information when he received the inheritance. For instance, the previous Duan Dong River was bestowed the character 'Wu', signifying supreme honor. And in the army of 'Jinzhi World', only the most elite, valiant, and talented warriors at each level might be bestowed the character 'Jin'. Furthermore, the 'God King' of Jinzhi World had not summoned his warriors for a very, very long time. From all this... Luo Feng deduced—Wu, Jin... should both be different factions of the ancient civilization. Duan Dong River belonged to the 'Wu' faction. And Jinzhi World belonged to the 'Jin' faction. Moreover, the God King hadn't summoned anyone for a long time, and 'Jinzhi World' was now in the Cosmic Ocean, specifically, 'Jinzhi World' was inside a humanoid creature. Luo Feng had to infer one thing—the great God King of the 'Jin' faction might have already fallen, and that humanoid creature was very likely the God King himself! “Only a divine body that powerful, capable of clashing head-on with the Cosmic Ark, where the mere shockwaves of impact can annihilate Supreme True Treasures. A single breath from within its body... can cause Supreme True Treasures to vanish. Only then could it be considered a top-tier existence of the ancient civilization,” Luo Feng mused. The ancient civilization was formidable. The Cosmic Ark, Duan Dong River, Black-Patterned Stone Pillar, Tomb Mausoleum Boat, Wu Killing Wings... all remaining traces pointed to this. Yet, despite its might, its end was tragic. The lifeforms within 'Jinzhi World' were fortunate to still be alive. But even living, they couldn't leave 'Jinzhi World' in the slightest. Once they stepped out... they would immediately perish. Jinzhi World primarily served to train armies and cultivate super powerhouses. Therefore, from countless tribes, warriors at the 'Law Master' level would, every so often, be taken in proportion to join the army! Only after enduring a long period in the army could they retire and gain freedom. If anyone dared to evade military service, they would be hunted down by the entire Jinzhi World. The army was the strongest force in all of Jinzhi World. It possessed vast quantities of combat armor and weapons; what were called 'Supreme True Treasures' were merely standard equipment for 'True God-level' existences in the army. Simultaneously, there were abundant cultivation guidance and inheritances... but the army also had an extremely high elimination rate; to be eliminated from the army meant to perish! Out of a hundred who joined the army! Perhaps fewer than five would retire alive! It was incredibly brutal! The army offered many benefits, but it was also the most terrifying place in Jinzhi World. Yet, ninety-nine percent of Jinzhi World's super powerhouses, beings surpassing True Gods, were gathered in the army! The true core secrets were naturally only found within the army. So, Luo Feng, of course, had to go! Luo Feng refused to believe... that he, having obtained the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance, wouldn't be able to establish himself in the army! “You're going to the army?” Beifeng roared excitedly. “Wait for me, my tribe will soon have a batch of warriors departing to join the army, and I'll be going too... We'll set off together then.” “Oh?” Luo Feng's heart stirred, and he immediately nodded, “Good, let's join the army together.”
