Chapter 0337: The Luning Family

The Luning Mansion is the largest mansion on the Nia Continent, roughly twice the size of the Taihua Mansion. Although located in the northern part of the Nia Continent, it serves as its central mansion. The entire Luning Mansion belongs to the Luning Family, and it is precisely because of this that it is the central mansion of the Nia Continent.

As the leading family among the six great families of the Netherworld, the Luning Family has stood firm there since its emergence. Countless eras have passed, and its members can be found throughout the Netherworld, as well as in various divine planes, and even in some mortal planes. Rumors in the Netherworld claim that the number of Luning Family members reaches 2 trillion!

The main god army of the Nia Continent consists of only 10 billion members, yet the number of Luning Family members is 200 times that! Just this figure alone is a terrifying indication of their strength.

If the Luning Family were to gather all these members together, even though the entire Luning Mansion is twice the size of the Taihua Mansion, it would likely not be able to accommodate them all. 2 trillion people could form an endless sea of people. If each of them threw a stone, it would be enough to create continuous mountain ranges.

Moreover, this 2 trillion figure is not the exact number of Luning Family members. It only refers to those in the Netherworld; other divine and mortal planes are not included. The Luning Family ranks first among millions of families in the Netherworld and is also among the top ten families in various divine planes. Not even the ElVise Family, the leading family in the Plane of the Light God, can compare to it.

“We’ve finally arrived at the Luning Family!” Standing inside a flying immortal artifact and looking down at the land below, Li Yifeng stretched his limbs and sighed with relief.

On their journey from the Taihua Mansion to the Luning Mansion, they only stopped at the Guying Mansion for a few months. The monotonous flight had driven him crazy.

“It’s still better to be a main god. It only takes a few hours to travel from the Canghai Continent to the Goslao Continent, unlike us. Even with top-tier flying artifacts, it takes ten to twenty years to go from the Shengwen Mansion on the Canghai Continent to the Luning Mansion on the Nia Continent,” Li Yifeng joked.

Traveling from the Canghai Continent to the Goslao Continent means crossing the entire Netherworld. At the speed of a main god, it only takes five to six hours. If it’s just from the Shengwen Mansion on the Canghai Continent to the Luning Mansion on the Nia Continent, it takes at most an hour.

Of course, Li Yifeng was just joking. The Supreme God isn’t something one can become just by wanting to—no matter how talented one is, it’s not certain they can grow to become a Supreme God. Since the emergence of the Supreme God realms, only 117 Supreme God essences have existed. That’s exactly one hundred and seventeen. It’s a law. So, unless a Supreme God perishes, another essence is created, giving rise to a new Supreme God. However, battles between Supreme Gods are rare. After all, at their level, few things can provoke such fights. Moreover, who wouldn’t cherish their own life after becoming a Supreme God? Since the creation of the world, there has only been one war in over a hundredeon. Huang Long put away his top-tier flying immortal artifact and, upon hearing Li Yifeng’s words, smiled and said, “Supreme God? Isn’t an Ultimate God even better?” Li Yifeng was momentarily stunned, then looked at Huang Long and laughed, “Haha, it’s you, Brother Huang Long, who dares to think like that.” An Ultimate God, elusive and intangible?! In the god realms, Supreme Gods are tangible to them, but Ultimate Gods only exist in the fantasies of the most powerful beings in those realms. Aside from Supreme Gods, no one else among the powerful has ever seen an Ultimate God. Even for Supreme Gods, it’s extremely difficult to meet one. A Supreme God is created by fusing a Supreme God essence, but an Ultimate God isn’t formed by fusing such an essence. As for how to become an Ultimate God, it remains a mystery in the god realms, with various theories. “Brother Huang Long, entering the Luning Mansion won’t be easy,” Li Yifeng said after retracting his divine sense. The entire Luning Mansion belongs to the Luning family and is heavily guarded. Not to mention higher gods, even the most extraordinary powerful beings, even those at the peak of higher godhood, might not be able to pass through the Luning family’s defenses. When Li Yifeng extended his divine sense earlier, he was immediately met with hundreds of divine senses stronger than his own. “I never said I’d break in forcefully,” Huang Long said with a smile. Even if his Immortal Concealment technique were extremely powerful, he could enter the Luning Mansion but not reach the Patriarch Dragon Pool, the heavily guarded heart of the Luning family. From searching through Arod’s memories, Huang Long learned that the Patriarch Dragon Pool is guarded day and night by ten elders of the Luning family. Ten elders—ten most extraordinary powerful beings! One of them is even close to the level of a peak higher god.

The importance of the Ancestral Dragon Pool to the Runing family is beyond doubt, and this is only the surface-level guarding force. As for whether there are any other hidden guards, even Arnold, a direct descendant of the Runing family, doesn’t know.
“No forced entry—then how did you get in?” Li Yifeng asked in confusion.
“You’ll know when the time comes,” Huang Long replied with a mysterious smile.
Li Yifeng became even more interested. He really wanted to know how Huang Long managed to infiltrate the Runing family.
In the Netherworld, and even in the various divine realms, many tried to sneak into the Runing family, but they were all uncovered by the family, ending up in tragic fates. Once discovered, no matter which noble family they belonged to, they were dealt with according to the Runing family’s rules.
Huang Long and Li Yifeng descended to the ground. They were now in the area where the Runing Mansion and the Pus Mansion met—the Jela Mountains.
The Jela Mountains weren’t very large, covering only a few tens of thousands of square miles, but there were numerous markets scattered across them.
Markets were a common phenomenon in the Netherworld. In the major cities of the Netherworld, the Commerce Hall controlled over 90% of trade, while the trade from markets formed in the areas between major mansions accounted for the remaining 10%.
These markets were tolerated by the various noble families. Although they didn’t have formal divine armies like the major cities, they did have the family guards of each noble family.
Of the more than 500 markets in the Jela Mountains, over 400 had the Runing family’s guards.
After descending, Huang Long and Li Yifeng arrived at a market called Luocheng.
Though called Luocheng, it was actually just a larger town, covering a few dozen miles square, without city walls for protection.
“Brother Huang Long, did you come to this Luocheng market to buy something?” Li Yifeng was puzzled. Their mission was to enter the Runing Mansion—what did this have to do with Huang Long entering it?
“Of course not to buy anything,” Huang Long said with a smile.
“Not to buy anything?” Li Yifeng was frustrated. Then why come here?
Soon, Li Yifeng followed Huang Long to a secluded corner in Luocheng.
Li Yifeng frowned, about to ask further when suddenly he widened his eyes in disbelief as he stared at Huang Long. Under his astonished gaze, Huang Long’s appearance gradually changed, eventually turning into someone else. Although it was still a young man with black hair, he now had an eerie beauty alongside his earlier looks.
Huang Long had completely turned into another person!

Li Yifeng rubbed his eyes and swallowed hard. “You, you, Brother Huang Long, how… how is this possible?!”
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn’t have believed that a person could turn into someone completely different—everything from their appearance to their physique had changed!
This wasn’t an illusion!
“This is the Art of Transformation through Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends!” Huang Long said with a smile.
The Art of Transformation through Pangu, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends was beyond the comprehension of people in this world. After Huang Long reached the realm of an immortal, he naturally mastered these transformation arts, though he had never shown them to others before.
“The Art of Transformation through Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends?!” Li Yifeng asked in shock, wondering what kind of transformation art this was. Even as the son of the Supreme God, he had never heard of it.
Huang Long nodded with a smile.
“Can this Art of Transformation through Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends transform anyone?” Li Yifeng asked after a while.
Huang Long nodded. “Indeed, not just people.”
“Not just people?!” Li Yifeng stared at Huang Long in astonishment. Could it transform other things as well?!
Just as he was puzzled, he was shocked to see Huang Long suddenly disappear. The previously empty ground suddenly had a small house appear. In an instant, the house transformed into a lion-like primal beast, and then, as Li Yifeng’s eyes grew dizzy, Huang Long reverted to his previous eerie youthful appearance.
At that moment, Li Yifeng’s mouth was so wide it could hold an egg, yet his eyes were even wider, no smaller than an egg.
For a long time, Li Yifeng remained standing there, frozen in shock.
For Huang Long, the Art of Transformation through Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends was nothing special. After all, it focused on transformation rather than demonstrating strength, so he didn’t hide it from Li Yifeng. But seeing Huang Long use this art sent shockwaves through Li Yifeng’s heart.
Although he didn’t know how many things Huang Long’s art could transform into, what he had just seen was simply beyond imagination!
Li Yifeng didn’t know if the elusive Supreme God possessed such an art, but he knew that even the Life Supreme God, who fully understood the laws of life, wouldn’t have such an ability.
Transforming from one being into another already broke certain rules of this world.
“Brother Huang Long, I… I…” After a long time, Li Yifeng, still frozen, finally spoke, but his words were fragmented, unsure of what to say.
In fact, he didn’t know what to say either. He didn’t know how to describe the emotions swirling in his heart at that moment.

“Let’s go; we’re heading to the Luning family’s reception point,” said Huang Long.
From Arod’s memories, Huang Long knew that this market in Luo City had a location where the Luning family received their descendants from other divine realms—this was why Huang Long had come to this market in Luo City.
The identity of this strange young man he had taken on was that of one of the Luning family’s descendants from other divine realms.
