Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Emperor observed Luo Feng: "This Luo He's physical body features characteristics of a Primal Chaos Layer Creature, and after becoming a Guest Elder he exchanged for the 'First Calamity of the Eight Tribulations Life Form.' Not long ago, Chu Yu even helped him obtain a portion of the Golden Feathered Divine Bird's body material."

As an Emperor of Emperor Chu's Lineage, the gathered intelligence on Luo Feng's arrival in Chu Capital would naturally be presented to the Emperor.

The Emperor usually didn't bother to look, but now that he was interested in investigating, he came to understand many details about Luo Feng.

"Whether it's my Flame Wind Ancient Country or the Thunder Ancient Country, I have never heard of anyone reaching the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm by relying solely on a 'Body Refining Method like that of the Primal Chaos Layer Creatures'."

"Does that mean he has created his own Body Refining Method?" The Emperor became intrigued.

With his insight, he was well aware that achieving Transcendence in the Primal Chaos Realm across the entire Land of Origin generally involves cultivating some special heritage, such as using Primordial Force or Primordial Materials for cultivation... to possess the strength of Transcendence in the realm level of Primal Chaos.

Creating his own Secret Technique to reach Transcendence in Primal Chaos Realm?

This represented immense potential!

"Has Chu Yuan brought back a cultivator of extremely high talent?" the Emperor wondered.

In this moment, the Emperor's esteem for Luo Feng rose above that of a first-rank Marquis.

The Imperial Clan, having proliferated endlessly over eons, were countless. Numerous Imperial Clan members were discarded into small universes to fend for themselves, indicative of the Emperor's attitude toward the Imperial Clan.

The Emperor also valued the unlimited godly bodies of the Imperial Clan and the first-rank Marquises, approaching them with an attitude of nurturing the clan's future generations.

"This Luo He, being able to create his own Secret Technique of Transcendence in the Primal Chaos Realm. Perhaps he will become one of our peers one day," the Emperor observed Luo Feng, facing many difficulties and obstacles himself as an Emperor.

Even the exalted Primogenitor Yan Feng was also advancing through darkness.

"Look into his past in detail, his traces in the Land of Origin are too few," the Emperor thought. "If there are no issues, then I can fully draw him to my side."

...

Emperor Chu Yu was currently above the Marquis Mansion, looking eagerly in the direction of Thousand Star Tower.

Suddenly—

The silver light cage that had sealed the Thousand Star Tower abruptly disappeared, revealing a figure in a black robe—it was Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was holding a meatball in one hand, the bound form of 'Marquis Chu Yuan.'

This scene warmed Emperor Chu Yu's heart.

"Are all the enemies gone? Only Luo He left?" Emperor Chu Yu speculated, "What exactly is the meatball held in Brother Luo He's hand?"

—

At that moment, Emperor Chu Yu immediately headed towards the direction of Thousand Star Tower.

And the location of Thousand Star Tower was desolate.

"This minor punishment, if you dare bother me again, I will make you suffer even more severe punishments," Luo Feng casually threw, and the meatball was flung far away, rapidly regaining the form of the hairy, ugly figure of Marquis Chu Yuan.

Marquis Chu Yuan, with his ugly, fully hairy body, stood dumbfounded in midair.

Just a moment ago, having been beaten into mud, even into a liquid, Marquis Chu Yuan felt only pain, as if trapped in an endless nightmare, until now when he regained his freedom.

"This is a minor punishment?" Marquis Chu Yuan looked at Luo Feng, dared not say more, and quickly flew away.

Only then did Luo Feng wave his hand, releasing the many buildings of Thousand Star Tower, as well as the cultivators inside.

The many cultivators all excitedly looked towards the man in black outside, all respectfully saluting and shouting, "Thank you, Great Saint!"

"Thank you, Great Saint!"

Each cultivator was very grateful.

The Great Saints of Primal Chaos, each exalted high above, few cared about these weaker lives. It was considered decent to not deliberately slaughter; unintentional impacts were very common.

Luo Feng glanced at the many cultivators of Thousand Star Tower, inwardly sighing. Many powerful beings in the Land of Origin did not care too much about the lives at the bottom, not deliberately killing was already considered good, and unintentional impacts were very common.

"Brother Luo He." Emperor Chu Yu emerged from the Void, coming close to Luo Feng, finally daring to step out of the Marquis Mansion in person, "What exactly is going on, weren't Marquis Chu Yuan, Marquis Chu Ji, and the three Guest Elders joining hands against you?"

"They dared to attack 'Yuan' next to me, forcing me to show myself," Luo Feng said angrily. "Naturally, I could not endure any longer and had to punish them."

"To punish them?" Emperor Chu Yu blinked his eyes.

One against five, and he ended up punishing the others?

"Let's go to Brother Luo He's Cave mansion; we can have a good talk there," Emperor Chu Yu felt a tremendous opportunity right before him.

"Let's go." Luo Feng nodded, immediately transporting Emperor Chu Yu through the Void, reaching the Cave Mansion in merely two steps.

Luo He Cave Mansion.

Emperor Chu Yu was also secretly amazed; Chu Capital had strong suppression over space-time, and usually, beings in the Primal Chaos Realm could only teleport short distances. Luo Feng bringing him from Thousand Star Tower to the Cave Mansion in just two steps showed remarkable abilities in traversing the Void.

"They five against you, and you punished them, what kind of punishment?" Emperor Chu Yu immediately inquired.

"That Guest Elder Xun has the Causality Escape Technique, and her escape capabilities are quite formidable," praised Luo Feng. "She managed to take Marquis Chu Ji with her as they fled, and I failed to stop them. As for the others... I destroyed the True Bodies of two, took away all their treasures, and beat Marquis Chu Yuan into a pulp, taking away his Godly King Weapon. That counted as punishment."

Luo Feng did not intend to conceal this, because the spoils of war he had collected still needed Emperor Chu Yu's help to sell, in exchange for the Cultivation Resources he needed.

Emperor Chu Yu's eyes widened a bit.

One against five, completely sweeping through?

Only two escaped by using the Causality Escape Technique?

"Brother Luo He, your strength now?" Emperor Chu Yu was somewhat excited.

"Fortunately, the Golden Feathered Divine Bird feathers you brought helped with my Body Refining Secret Technique, and I've made further progress," Luo Feng smiled, "I barely qualify as having reached the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm, but my methods as a cultivator focusing on the physical body are still quite crude."

Emperor Chu Yu said joyfully, "Brother Luo He, being able to take on five and completely sweep through, I guessed you must have transcended the Primal Chaos Realm."

"My methods still need a lot of improvements," Luo Feng said.

It was the truth.

Every aspect was too rough; they say those who transcend the Primal Chaos Realm can fight against those at the First Realm of Godly King. Yet, Luo Feng felt that if he encountered someone at the First Realm of Godly King… he would probably be toyed with.

He could only bully those at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm, relying on an absolute advantage in power to break laws with force and sweep through recklessly.

"Brother Luo He, you are already very strong. Within our entire Emperor Chu's Lineage, there are only two who have transcended the Primal Chaos Realm," Emperor Chu Yu said, "Now you are the third person in Emperor Chu's lineage who has transcended."

Whether it was Luo Feng or the other two who had transcended, they were all Guest Officials of Emperor Chu's Lineage.

"With your current status, your situation has changed dramatically," said Emperor Chu Yu excitedly, "Many troublesome missions, with your strength, are no longer an issue. Later, I can also help you get some more dangerous missions, but similarly, the merit points will be greater."

"Right, Brother Luo He, are you interested in some missions on the frontier?" Emperor Chu Yu said, "Flame Wind Ancient Country and Thunder Ancient Country, the entire border line is fiercely contested."

"Typical conflicts are controlled at the Primal Chaos Layer, so a being who has transcended the Primal Chaos Realm has a great advantage at the border," Emperor Chu Yu said, "Normally, it takes thousands of Chaos Eras for a Godly King Level conflict to erupt, and at that time, those in the Primal Chaos Realm will withdraw."

Luo Feng was very aware.

The internal competition within Emperor Chu's Lineage was fierce, like the thirteen channels of the imperial clan of Flame Wind Ancient Country—strife would only be crazier! As for the two great ancient countries… the main reason for the deaths of Godly Kings in the entire Land of Origin was their involvement in the wars between these two countries.

"The missions on the frontier can wait for now," Luo Feng said, "I still need to cultivate in seclusion for some time."

"Alright, I'll listen to you, Brother Luo He," Emperor Chu Yu said with a radiant smile, "By the way, now that you possess the strength of one who has transcended the Primal Chaos Realm, the ancestor might consider you and take you as a Direct Disciple."

A thought struck Luo Feng's heart.

"A Guest Official who has transcended the Primal Chaos Realm would generally be able to take an emperor or some powerful Godly King as a mentor," said Emperor Chu Yu, "You just need to wait patiently; there should be some results soon."

Luo Feng nodded; with this in mind, he was not in a hurry to deal with the Spoils of War.

He would wait and see how things unfolded; these treasures must be used strategically.

…

As the battle at the Thousand Star Tower concluded, news of this fight was quickly collated and soon spread throughout the city.

A conflict involving a first-class marquis implicated Guest Official Luo He.

Guest Official Luo He, one against five, direct sweep! Marquis Chu Ji and Guest Official Xun escaped using the Causality Escape Technique, the other three weren't so fortunate—Marquis Chu Yuan was beaten into a pulp, and nothing was left of the other two.

The impact of this news on various forces within Chu Capital can be imagined.

"This this…" at the Marquis Chu Yu's mansion, the lady of the mansion and her three sons, given their status, naturally also got wind of this major news.

"Mother, did uncle really sweep through five?" the eldest son was so excited that his whole body was radiating heat, "Is my uncle transcended the Primal Chaos Realm?"

"Mother, has Uncle Luo He transcended the Primal Chaos Realm?"

"In our Emperor Chu's lineage, is Uncle Luo He the third person to transcend the Primal Chaos Realm? His power rivals that of an ordinary Godly King?"

All three sons were very excited.

This was their own uncle!

"That Marquis Chu Ji, Marquis Chu Yuan were blind to provoke your uncle," the lady of the mansion said with a radiant smile, "Now they have suffered a huge loss."

In the recent few Chaos Eras, as one of the seven first-class marquises with the weakest power and foundation, their entire faction had been somewhat stifled.

Just then, Emperor Chu Yu walked in.

"Father."

"Chu Yu."

All three sons and the lady immediately went up to greet him.

"Father, about uncle?" the youngest son wanted to confirm.

"Hahaha… You must have all received the news, and yes, it's all true," Emperor Chu Yu laughed heartily, rare for him, "My brother Luo He indeed exists in a state of transcendence beyond the Primal Chaos Realm, but you still need to restrain yourselves a bit outside, and not be arrogant."

"Understood," the three sons immediately responded.

"Lady, let's have a feast tonight to celebrate for my brother Luo He," Emperor Chu Yu said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away," the lady of the mansion was also fired up.

"Hahaha…" Emperor Chu Yu left laughing. After being stifled for so long, even preparing to endure a lengthy and obscure period, a sudden joy from heaven now meant his path ahead would be much clearer.

Of the seven first-class marquises, only he, Emperor Chu Yu, had a Guest Official who had transcended the Primal Chaos Realm.
