Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Inside Luo Feng's Cave Dwelling.

With Morosa and Moyu Qingyan, this pair who were essentially master and apprentice, were eating and drinking.

"Qingyan," Morosa, gnawing on a big chunk of meat with relish, said, "Your master has now transcended the Primal Chaos Realm. The resources bestowed upon you casually are things even eternal true gods cannot beg for. You, a mere true god of void space, must seize this opportunity and not let your master's pains go to waste."

"I understand." Moyu Qingyan also knew that as a disciple of one who had transcended the Primal Chaos Realm, his strength was indeed too weak.

"And another thing!" Morosa said, "In Chu Capital, many daughters of prestigious families have taken a liking to you… You must stay clear-headed, boy."

Moyu Qingyan chuckled in response.

The willing advances from daughters of prestigious families indeed tempted Moyu Qingyan, who came from a small place like Huyang City.

"For cultivators, there is no end to life, and women are not a necessity," Morosa said. "Look at me, look at Yuan, look at your master! None of us have women by our sides! Why? Women can distract you from your dedication to cultivation!"

Moyu Qingyan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Indeed!

His master, Lord Luo Sa, Yuan … none of them had women in their lives.

"Cultivation requires focus!" said Morosa.

"But there are many cultivators who do take wives," Moyu Qingyan couldn't help but counter, his heart moved by two among the many daughters of prestigious families during his time in Chu Capital.

"You know the reasoning; it's up to you to decide," Morosa stood up.

Moyu Qingyan sat alone.

He had seen many couples, like his own parents, who would risk their lives for each other, and had nurtured their children lovingly and supportively.

"I should wait and see," Moyu Qingyan thought, feeling recently he had been too dazzled by these women to see their true hearts.

Morosa came out and immediately saw his master, Luo Feng, descending from the sky.

"Master." Morosa promptly went to greet him.

"Come with me," Luo Feng said with an enigmatic smile.

Morosa, stirred by his master's smile, immediately repressed his joy and followed his master to the Quiet Room.

...

In the Quiet Room, within a layer of Star Tower—this was the space exclusively for Morosa's cultivation.

Both Luo Feng and Morosa were here now.

"This trip out, I killed a top-notch existence in the Primal Chaos Realm," Luo Feng looked at Morosa. "He cultivated in the Great Dao of Life Origin with a particularly unique physical body."

With a wave of his hand, the massive body of Great Saint Beiyu fell into this space layer.

Upon seeing it, Morosa's eyes instantly lit up.

He felt an ominous presence from the body, far stronger than the nascent Primal Chaos bloodline of Xue Yun right before his death.

"To have a body left behind after killing one from the Primal Chaos Realm," Morosa was pleasantly surprised.

Generally, if the opponent has a medium for resurrection, as long as there's a thread of consciousness, a mere thought could completely disintegrate the true body.

Thus, a Primal Chaos Realm corpse was quite a rarity.

"Since my ascension to the Primal Chaos Realm, progress has been slow," Morosa couldn't help but say. "I could only rely on absorbing the energies of heaven and earth, but this time, my strength will finally be able to rise substantially."

Morosa's absorption of energies from heaven and earth wasn't slow, roughly within an era he could absorb the energy reserves of a 'Perfect Divine Body' of the Primal Chaos Realm. But the energy from heaven and earth was pure, offering limited assistance.

The body of a mighty being contained their own laws, greatly benefiting the growth of the inner 'Realm'.

"Go ahead and cultivate at your own pace," Luo Feng smiled and then left the space layer.

Immediately, Morosa utilized a secret technique, and the enormous body of Great Saint Beiyu began to be absorbed and digested. The aspects of the Great Dao of Life Origin contained within that body also began to merge into Morosa's inner 'Realm', allowing the realm to grow at a painstakingly slow rate.

With the growth of the 'Realm,' Morosa naturally came to comprehend further mysteries of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin.

Normal cultivators would have some emphasis on different branches of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin during their cultivation, but Morosa was comprehending each branch simultaneously, progressing comprehensively.

...

In Star Tower, Luo Feng's exclusive cultivation space.

Luo Feng began to ponder over the "Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades."

Previously, Luo Feng had not received any emperor-level inheritance in the direction of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin. The "World Breaking Nine Blades" he had been cultivating was created by an individual of the Primal Chaos Realm, who had not penetrated even one branch of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, leaving a technique that only deepened Luo Feng's confusion.

Even with Luo Feng's powerful spiritual will, he could understand some of the mysteries of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin as demonstrated by Morosa, but still made slow progress.

"This is true inheritance of the Great Dao!"

Upon careful study of the first volume of "Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades," and the wealth of inheritance information about the Heaven Splitting Lineage, Luo Feng felt tears welling up in his eyes.

The creator of "Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades," with his high realm, had discussed the 'Heaven Splitting Lineage' from various perspectives, explaining it clearly and lucidly. Many confusions Luo Feng had since becoming a Primal Chaos Walker naturally disappeared.

With a deeper understanding, Luo Feng continuously advanced in his knowledge of the Heaven Splitting Lineage.

Luo Feng pondered slowly, studying every sentence carefully before moving on to the next. With such meticulous study, after more than half an era, he had thoroughly researched both the 'Heaven Splitting Lineage' and the 'Dark Heaven Lineage.'

After one thorough study, Luo Feng felt a profound transformation within himself.

"So, the Heaven Splitting Lineage and the Dark Heaven Lineage are like this," Luo Feng previously saw things as if through a fog, filled with many confusions, but now he had a clear understanding of the two paths.

He had even delved into the deepest study of the Heaven Splitting Lineage, and had already grasped a great deal of it.

Of course, this was the easiest part to understand—the more profound parts were increasingly difficult! Many at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm were stuck at the final bottleneck, the last step that prevented them from becoming a Godly King.

"A truly top-notch inheritance is of great help," Luo Feng had never worried about inheritance before becoming a walker in the Primal Chaos Realm. At that time, the inheritance of the Duan Dong River lineage and the teachings of his master, the Mountain Sitting Guest, were enough for him to comprehend. He did not empathize with the eternal true gods who longed for an inheritance.

Only after becoming a walker in the Primal Chaos Realm did he feel the difference with or without an inheritance!

Whoosh~~~

Luo Feng sat there, his palm gently sweeping across the void, as if a knife slicing through tofu, easily parting layer upon layer of spatial folds.

"To understand the operation of the laws is to exert ten thousand, a million times the effect with a single effort. This is the Dao," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Suddenly—

The grand galaxy blade light appeared in the space of the Star Tower, twenty thousand strands of galaxy blade light in 'yin-yang particle form', each with terrible might, now all unleashing 'Blade River Slash'.

The Blade River Slash was Luo Feng's attempt at simplifying the most common Primal Chaos Realm blade technique because of its simplicity, it also placed a minimal burden on the spirit.

"Boom!" Within this layer of space in the Star Tower, the spatial folds were all annihilated, turning into chaos, with only the world's membrane walls being thick and solid.

"The Blade River Slash can be even simpler and purer."

With a deeper understanding of the Heaven Splitting Lineage and the Dark Heaven Lineage, Luo Feng began to integrate these insights into the Blade River Slash, starting to change this move and gradually giving the Blade River Slash some simple applications of the Heaven Splitting Lineage and the Dark Heaven Lineage.

The most rudimentary application put very little strain on the spirit, yet the power had even increased slightly.

"Let's see how many 'Blade River Slashes' I can perform at the same time now," thought Luo Feng.

Thirty thousand galaxy blade lights tore the space apart.

Forty thousand galaxy blade lights, fifty thousand galaxy blade lights...

The number climbed to eighty-three thousand galaxy blade lights before Luo Feng felt the burden on his spirit becoming strenuous.

"Contemplating on the 'Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades' for almost an era, and the insights from the Heaven Splitting Lineage and the Dark Heaven Lineage let me wield this many blade lights?" Luo Feng couldn't help but feel joyous, as this power was several times greater than before.

"If I reach the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm in both the Heaven Splitting Lineage and the Dark Heaven Lineage, how high my realm becomes, how many blade lights could I control?" Luo Feng was very curious about his own limits at the Primal Chaos Realm level.

"Hmm?"

Luo Feng suddenly looked at this space, with a shocked and puzzled expression.

"My galaxy blade light has increased by several folds this time, and while I may be lacking in profound complexity compared to those at the initial tier of the Godly King level, the sheer 'might' is definitely not inferior," Luo Feng was very clear about this.

The galaxy blade light in the yin-yang particle form, a single unit of galaxy blade light unleashing 'Blade River Slash', is comparable to the full-force strike of a middle-layer strong being in the Primal Chaos Realm, burning divine power to its limits.

Eighty-three thousand of such powerful beings uniting? In terms of pure might, they are certainly not inferior to the First Realm of a Godly King.

"The Star Tower was refined by my master. My teacher is also just at the First Realm of a Godly King, and the Star Tower he refined... should also just be a secret treasure of the Godly King First Realm," thought Luo Feng, "Like the long staff I got from Marquis Chu Yuan before, it was an emperor level weapon."

"As a secret treasure of the First Realm of a Godly King, the Star Tower indeed should be able to withstand my full-force strike. But it should feel some pressure, right?"

"But..."

"Every time I strike with full force, the Star Tower doesn't feel any pressure at all."

Previously, Luo Feng's lack of strength did not allow him to notice this, but as he approached the level of the First Realm of a Godly King, he discovered this issue.

Swish.

Luo Feng stepped forward to the inner wall of the Star Tower and punched it, causing a slight vibration before the wall easily dissipated the force. Luo Feng gradually increased his explosive force, making his punches heavier and heavier.

Until, Luo Feng's several tens of billions of units of Transformation Method power fully erupted.

With 'eighty-three thousand units' of galaxy blade light, Luo Feng could execute the Primal Chaos Realm level technique 'Blade River Slash'. Yet, once he erupted with several tens of billions units of Transformation Method power, Luo Feng could only execute the most crude techniques, but the power was enormously vast, bombarding the tower wall with a thunderous roar.

The wall of the tower still only vibrated slightly before dissipating the force.

"What? My full-force melee attack against the wall of the tower doesn't shake it at all?" Luo Feng couldn't believe it.

"That means, if I were trapped inside, I couldn't escape at all."

"Even beings ten times, a hundred times stronger than me, if trapped inside, may not necessarily be able to get out." As the owner of the Star Tower, Luo Feng could sense that his attacks were still far from the Tower's limit of endurance.

As to how far from the limit, he couldn't tell. He only knew that his current full-force burst didn't stress the Star Tower in the slightest.

Luo Feng couldn't believe it: "A Godly King First Realm secret treasure, can't possibly be this strong!"

This defied common sense.

A Godly King First Realm secret treasure, to suppress beings of the same level, it would need to consume Divine Power and careful control.

"My teacher, the Mountain Sitting Guest, as far as I know, is just the ruler of a fringe nation on the Land of Origin," pondered Luo Feng, "My teacher mentioned that there was an accident during the refining of the Star Tower, and a golden light merged into the Star Tower, accelerating its formation..."

Luo Feng hadn't noticed anything amiss when he discussed this with his teacher before.

But now, thinking back on it.

A Godly King undergoing artifact refining would have strict control over the environment, and yet an accident occurred that allowed a foreign object to merge into the Star Tower? The appearance of this foreign object clearly exceeded the Godly King's control over the environment.

"This Star Tower," Luo Feng carefully sensed it, for the first time discovering some of the mystery of the secret treasure that had been with him for countless years.
