In Eastern Ice Hell, deep inside the snow, Luo Feng stood up with joy and laughed.
"I finally came up with the first move after 100 years."
"Congratulations, master," Honed Heart Emperor replied with respect.
"Master has improved quite a bit," Ji Hong Emperor said. "And now, master can kill more creatures and take more tags in Ice Hell. You are more likely to collect 10,000 tags now."
"I don't let you two out just to flatter me," Luo Feng laughed. "I want you two to give me some advice."
"Advice?" Honed Heart Emperor and Ji Hong Emperor looked at each other.
"I created the top move 'Moon Policy,' which is for close combat. Now that I've created one more series for a spiritual-force weapon, what name do you think I should use?" Luo Feng asked.
He had vetoed lots of other names before settling on Moon Policy. It was difficult to come up with an appropriate name.
"Since it is a series for a spiritual-force weapon," Honed Heart Emperor said, "and master is using stars, and you created it in Ice Hell, why doesn't master call it 'Star Hell'?"
"No, that's no good," Ji Hong Emperor said. "Ice Hell is only a temporary habitat for master, but these secret moves will follow master, and their fame will be spread when master achieves success and wins recognition. Ice Hell can't even come close. From my perspective, I reckon 'Beast God' is more appropriate, as master is following the path of the beast god and able to form a beast god by wielding the spiritual-force weapon. Although Beast God sounds a bit reckless, it shows master's aim to achieve the beast god level. Sometimes, it's okay to be overbearing. The name Beast God is a given."
Luo Feng kept shaking his head.

While Ji Hong Emperor and Honed Heart Emperor were giving advice, Luo Feng was also contemplating. One name came up after another. Some were mighty while some were conservative. However, it was almost impossible to satisfy Luo Feng.
Eventually, Luo Feng settled on a name that was simple and ordinary but fit his criteria.
"I'll call it '10,000-Star Sermon Map'!" There was a trace of expectation in Luo Feng's eyes. His secret moves were revealing his Dao, and there were only 10,000 stars in Star Tower. According to Zuo Shan Ke, Luo Feng could only exercise ten of them. The name 10,000-Star Sermon Map represented Luo Feng's ambition: to exercise all the stars. It was not necessary to explain the inclusion of the word 'Sermon.'
"The first move is speedy," he said. "I'll call it 'Hit the Light-Racing Star.'"
Luo Feng came up with this name pretty quickly. The first move of 10,000-Star Sermon Map: Hit the Light-racing Star.
It had only taken Luo Feng 100 years to create this move. In contrast, Luo Feng had spent 1,000 years coming up with Galaxy on the Sky. There were two reasons why he had spent such a shorter length of time on the new move. Firstly, Luo Feng was on a higher level now. Secondly, the move 10,000-Star Sermon Map was derived from the first chapter of Nan Shen Seven Moves, together with the conception of the beast god. Also, Luo Feng had more experience when inventing 10,000-Star Sermon Map.
It was not that Luo Feng didn't want to create it according to the second chapter, Muscle. That one was more difficult. The second move was easier when there was a first one.
******
Luo Feng brought Ji Hong Emperor and Honed Heart Emperor back to his ring and decided to walk out of the cave.
"I've created the move suitable for Sky Map and significantly increased my power," he said. "I'm going to try it now and see teacher after ten combats. Hmm.." Luo Feng stopped at the exit of the cave the frowned. "Why did Chaos City teacher only ask me to go find him after ten battles, without saying another word? Instead of complimenting me, he only asked me to come find him after ten battles. Does that mean he's not satisfied with the moves I created for my weapon?"
Luo Feng thought of all the possible reasons. He was actually very perceptive. He didn't dig into the implication of the castellan's words because he was overjoyed after successfully creating his first move after 100 years.
"Not satisfied. Is it because I didn't concentrate?"
Luo Feng figured out the reason instantly. It was so obvious—it was common sense! The powerful ones needed to focus on one move, and they needed to concentrate on one move no matter how talented they were. Dividing their focus into two was a stupid strategy. For instance, Bran had previously studied space law and time law at the same time, but only after he had gone through severe adversaries had he recognized the correct path.
"He's not happy that I'm creating a move for spiritual-force weapons," said Luo Feng. "That means he wants me to take the warrior path!"
I have a powerful spiritual force and a high amplitude thereof, thought Luo Feng. I'm fit for the path of a spiritual leader. Castellan teacher knows this. Why does he want me to follow the warrior school?
historical
Luo Feng was talented enough to follow both the warrior path and the spiritual-leader path. Which path to choose? Castellan wanted Luo Feng to follow the warrior path.
"Teacher knows some secrets," Luo Feng contemplated. "However, Zuo Shan Ke suggested that I should follow the spiritual-force-leader path, and that's why he left me the Force armor and Star Tower. The Star Tower, in particular, which is a spiritual-force weapon, is one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. It will be a total waste if I don't study into the spiritual force leader path."
Besides, he didn't have a treasure for close combat like Flaming God Halberd, owned by his second brother, Flaming Emperor.
Doesn't matter, Luo Feng thought. Zuo Shan Ke is one of the most powerful creatures in the universe, and he should know more than Castellan. Moreover, earthlings were taught and guided by teacher Zuo Shan Ke, and he should now my potential is more for the spiritual-force-leader path. Also, it will only take me a little more time to study Moon Policy and 10,000-Star Sermon Map at the same time. I'll study them at the same time and will choose between one of them if there are some secrets I don't know.
Luo Feng made up his mind. He stepped out of the cave.
Hong!
He soared, and the snow was like air, unable to create any friction. Luo Feng flew to the ground in an instant.
******
It was white and freezing in the vast snowfield. Luo Feng flew in the sky and overlooked the surroundings.
"I need to find someone to fight with," Luo Feng said, looking around. "How can I find someone to fight with if everyone is hiding? I'll try my luck first."
Xiu!
Luo Feng flew like a beam of light.
******
Inside a palace in Northern Ice Hell, on the peak of the iceberg, one of the five invincible emperors, Silver Eye, sat on the throne like a sculpture. He was much more nonchalant than he had once been, after an infinite amount of time spent in Ice Hell. Sometimes, he wouldn't even move for tens of thousands of years.
Outside the palace, an emperor in black armor guarded the door. Suddenly, a silhouette belonging to one of the two slaves of Silver Eye appeared.
"Have you found the human?"
"We haven't," said the slave. "Nobody has been able to do that since his battle with Bone Emperor. He has completely vanished."
The two slaves talked to each other. They would go out and search for Luo Feng and would immediately report to their master Silver Eye if they found him.
"Protect master," the black-armored slave said." I'll go out and search." And then he teleported himself.
******
Luo Feng had hidden himself for 100 years, and those who wanted to fight him in the first place had temporarily given up.
"I can't find any of them," Luo Feng murmured as he flew through the entire area of Eastern Ice Hell and stopped above Ice Sea. "It seems these powerful creatures usually hide themselves. I'll need some special methods to get them out."
Luo Feng overlooked Ice Sea and suddenly became sharp.
"Break!"
Hong!
A spiritual force dove toward the ice. When Luo Feng's spiritual force awakened on the earth the first time, his force could twist concrete iron. Now, Luo Feng could destroy a neutron star without even trying. One could extrapolate what the ice would be like when hit by his force
All the ice within the tens of thousands of squared meters vanished, and the tremble made the faraway ice crack as if crushed beneath the weight of a great beast.
The wave spread.
Some powerful creatures will notice it in no time, Luo Feng thought. The real powerful creatures in Ice Hell will come out.
******
A powerful creature living tens of millions of kilometers away felt it.
"Energy wave.. Who's fighting?" The creature inclined his head out of the ice and saw the shadow. "Human!"
The creature was shocked, and it snuck back to the sea.
"The human showed up," it said. "The top ten limit emperors and the five invincible emperors are all looking for him. And he dared to show up."
The creature was surprised inside but didn't have the guts to test him. He knew he wasn't his match, since the human could flee from one of the top ten limit emperors and was ranked fastest according to Bone Emperor.
As for telling the secret? There was no upside to telling Silver Eye. He might be killed for doing that.
******
The wave spread everywhere. More and more powerful barbarian creatures noticed it, but none of them dared to show up, knowing it was the notoriously high-ranked human.
The energy wave gradually wore off and disappeared.
"No one?" Luo Feng stood in the sky for a long time and couldn't find anyone. "I can't believe no one showed up."
Luo Feng looked afar and bombarded the ice with his spiritual force.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
It wasn't until after the third time he hit the ice that a creature finally accepted the challenge.
