Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Flame Wind Ancient Country, Chu Capital.

Luo Feng also had an avatar residing in Chu Capital, carrying one hundred million Black Rivers and a portion of his Divine Power Reserve. This avatar was weaker than his True Body but still stronger than Great Saint Bi Yun and the City Lord of Desert Wind City.

"Brother Luo He, I heard that you single-handedly swept through Great Saint Bi Yun, Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion, the City Lord of Desert Wind City, and Great Saint Yan Su and monopolized the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls," a message arrived, "Can you sell me the complete video information of your victory over these four to the Flame Wind Association's Dark Hall?"

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.

Buying information about oneself? That had never happened before!

The entire process of the battle that had just occurred was known only to him, and next most knowledgeable was the City Lord of Desert Wind City. And since the City Lord was from the Thunder Ancient Country's Imperial Clan, the Flame Wind Pavilion likely did not want to contact him.

"As the victor of this battle, I believe Brother Luo He's information would be the most comprehensive," the Flame Wind Association's Dark Hall communicated, "We are willing to pay 'one hundred billion Cosmic Sand' for the complete video footage of the battle."

"Two hundred billion Cosmic Sand," Luo Feng responded.

"Brother Luo He, not many in the Land of Origin can afford your detailed information, only the Godly Kings and a very few from the Primal Chaos Realm. Among them, only a few will buy, and they might even share information with each other," the Flame Wind Pavilion replied.

One strong figure might purchase, then share with a few friends. The Flame Wind Pavilion had no way to stop this.

"Then one hundred and fifty billion Cosmic Sand," Luo Feng stepped back, "no less."

"Alright, then the Flame Wind Pavilion would like to befriend the Great Saint Luo He," the Dark Hall of the Flame Wind Pavilion was quite polite.

Luo Feng did not know who was contacting him, since this was an official message from the Dark Hall, but daring to say 'the Flame Wind Pavilion wants to befriend Great Saint Luo He,' it must be someone high up in the Flame Wind Pavilion.

"This one hundred and fifty billion Cosmic Sand, is it credited to your name, Luo He?"

"Yes, this is the complete video of the previous battle."

Luo Feng did not conceal it.

If the Flame Wind Pavilion truly wanted to investigate, both Yan Su and Great Saint Bi Yun had parts of the battle video, and the impoverished City Lord of Desert Wind even had the complete footage, so it was better to let oneself earn this money.

In fact, the Flame Wind Pavilion could also use space-time methods to trace the clues, but that would be too costly! Better to spend some Cosmic Sand to buy directly from the victor, which was cheaper.

"Finally made up for some blood loss." After Luo Feng mastered the Tri-Unity Body Refining Secret Technique, the task he had posted at the Flame Wind Pavilion seeking perfect Primal Chaos Layer Creature materials had ended, but the expenses were still quite large.

...

Within a phantom realm.

"What a Luo He," a misty figure formed, quite annoyed, "I managed through the City Lord of Desert Wind and Yan Su, to gather 20 Blood Spirit Golden Pearls last time and gave them to Marquis Chu Chang. Great Saint Bi Yun obtained 25 Blood Spirit Golden Pearls, only slightly more than Marquis Chu Chang."

His plan was to assist Marquis Chu Chang to secure the second place.

The Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task, by his estimation, would see Marquis Chu Ying and Marquis Chu Chang far ahead, while the other five first-class Marquises would lag far behind.

"Now, the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls have been monopolized by Luo He!"

"If it weren't for him being a disciple of Emperor Chu, a transcendent from the Primal Chaos Realm daring to be presumptuous with me, hmph, I would make him realize the price of disrespect..." The misty figure, as a member within the Two Realms Palace, had been too high and mighty in the Land of Origin.

Luo Feng's disrespect had already ignited his anger.

But Luo Feng's master was Emperor Chu!

He could only stay calm!

"The latest complete information on Luo He?" the misty figure immediately bought it upon thinking. The complete information's purchase price was one hundred million Cosmic Sand, which he did not care about.

Although he thought highly of himself, the complete information from the Flame Wind Pavilion was still extremely valuable.

This complete information included a recent battle where Lord Yuan Xiu withdrew first, all of Yan Su's avatars were annihilated, Great Saint Bi Yun pierced through the membrane wall of the Dark World to escape, the City Lord of Desert Wind was brutally battered by Luo He's bare hands, and Luo Feng slashed him into dozens of pieces with the Bloodshadow Knife and collected them.

"Luo He, a direct disciple of Emperor Chu."

"He cultivates the Origin Great Dao of life, destruction, and matter, combining the three to create his own Body Refining Method, reaching the level of a Cosmic Body."

"His Black River World, even Great Saint Yan Su cannot break through..."

"His surging Black River Domain, even the City Lord of Desert Wind can only drift along helplessly, unable to control anything..."

"..."

"World, Domain, long-range attacks, close combat, Physical Body, the integration of the three Origin Great Daos, makes him flawless in every aspect, undoubtedly the first among those who have transcended the Primal Chaos Realm."

"Important note: First, his Physical Body carries extremely strong Life Spirituality, with every bit of flesh and blood able to transform into an independent avatar. His number of avatars is innumerable!"

"Second, to control a body far surpassing the 'Primordial Bloodline Flesh Body' in the Primal Chaos Realm, he must possess a Heart Force far surpassing his peers, his Spiritual Will, at least at the Second Realm of Godly King."

The more terrifying the Physical Body, the higher the required Spiritual Will to control it. Luo Feng's Perfect Divine Body, bringing powerful soul, Second Realm Godly King Spiritual Will combined with the Lie Yuan Technique, just controlling one hundred billion Black Rivers consumes more than half of his Heart Force already.

Flame Wind Pavilion, not expecting the Perfect Divine Body, determined that Luo Feng's Spiritual Will was at least at the Second Realm of Godly King, was already very accurate.

"Third, his strength attained the first amongst those who have transcended the Primal Chaos Realm without reliance on Primordial Force, Primordial Materials, or Primordial Bloodline, but by creating his own Body Refining Secret Technique, with a talent so high, it's unimaginable."

"It can be inferred that, in the not-so-distant future, he will become a Godly King! Once he reaches the Godly King Level, his strength will increase comprehensively."

"And his master, Emperor Chu, is quite protective, definitely will cultivate Luo He with all his might."

The misty figure reviewed this detailed information, containing segments of video and a lot of conjectural information.

"Primal Chaos Realm, at least Second Realm of Godly King Spiritual Will?" the misty figure muttered, "No wonder he could withstand the Two Realms Palace's induction."

"This Luo He is not easy to deal with," the misty figure said, understanding this fact as he looked at the intelligence report.

Other transcendents of Primal Chaos Realm relied on external objects to cultivate, and their realm accumulation was not profound, making it difficult to become a Godly King. But Luo Feng, who created his own Body Refining Method to transcend in Primal Chaos Realm, had a much deeper accumulation and a much greater chance of becoming a Godly King.

"Years are long, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future," the misty figure thought, "Once a major turmoil arises, even the Emperor of Flame Wind Ancient Country and the Monarch of Thunder Ancient Country will be driven to madness. At that time, amid the whirlpool, a slight push will be enough to cast Luo He into the endless abyss."

"This little fellow has no idea how tumultuous the undercurrents at the Godly King Tier can be," the misty figure snickered.

Even now, Luo Feng had no idea who this powerful figure from the Two Realms Palace actually was.

That was the terrifying part of the Two Realms Palace.

They stirred up storms, yet their identities remained a mystery.

...

Chu Capital, Marquis Chu Yu Mansion.

"Brother Luo He, you swept away the other four and took exclusive control of the Blood Spirit Star?" Marquis Chu Yu naturally got the news from a friend first, and it baffled him.

Exclusive control of Blood Spirit Star? Didn't that mean he was already first in one of the three sub-tasks of the Heavenly Task, and in a clear lead at that?

"What exactly is going on?"

Marquis Chu Yu immediately sought to find out, and soon purchased the latest complete intelligence report on Luo Feng.

This complete intelligence report astounded Marquis Chu Yu.

"Avatars, too numerous to count?"

"At least a Godly King Second Realm Spiritual Will?"

"Creatively self-formulated Body Refining Method, talent unbelievably high?"

Marquis Chu Yu, himself a transcendent of Primal Chaos Realm with unlimited godly bodies and quite high talent, understood very well the implications hidden within this intelligence.

It meant—

Number one among the transcendents of the Primal Chaos Realm! And without relying on external items!

"To think that I chose such an incredible Guest Elder in Huyang City," Marquis Chu Yu could hardly believe it himself, recalling that Luo He was only an eternal true god when they had first met.

Marquis Chu Yu soon calmed down.

"Does Brother Luo He know how much of his information has been leaked?" Marquis Chu Yu, not daring to hesitate, immediately sent this report to Luo Feng.

"Haha, don't worry, some of the information was sold to the Flame Wind Pavilion by me," Luo Feng responded.

Luo Feng, upon seeing this detailed intelligence, was also astounded.

Avatars? Spiritual Will? Quite a comprehensive deduction.

"They think highly of me; I actually haven't studied the Origin Dao of Matter," Luo Feng thought. The intelligence was already quite comprehensive, recording almost all of his methods.

Of course, some methods, such as his application of the Spiritual Will using the Lie Yuan Technique, and some capabilities of the Star Tower and Perfect Divine Body, were things the Flame Wind Pavilion could not have anticipated.

"Just as this intelligence says, I should increase my accumulation and try to become a Godly King as quickly as possible," Luo Feng was clear.

Realm is fundamental.

Secret Techniques are just branches!

The higher the realm, the more powerful one's various methods can become.

...

Palace of Emperor Chu.

"Hahaha, the Flame Wind Pavilion got it right with this report," Emperor Chu looked at the report, bursting with joy and delight, "The level of my disciple Luo Feng's talent is beyond imagination, achieving transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm as number one with his own created Secret Technique! He's far stronger than other transcendents of the Primal Chaos Realm,"

What's the use of external aid?

Like Marquis Chu Yuan, the strongest among the seven first-class Marquises, also has hopes of transcending in the Primal Chaos Realm! But that's with the aid of a Primordial Bloodline, and his self-comprehension of the Great Dao is much weaker.

Previously, among a group of inadequate candidates, Emperor Chu was willing to nurture Marquis Chu Yuan. After all, in Emperor Chu's Lineage, there were only two transcendents of Primal Chaos Realm before Luo Feng arrived.

But now? With Luo Feng here, Emperor Chu felt that the others were just too ordinary.

Having such a talented disciple truly feels comforting,

"This is what high talent means, achieving transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm as number one in such a short time. I believe it won't be long before he becomes a Godly King," Emperor Chu thought, "I also need to think of ways to arrange some important resources for my disciple."

The resources needed by Godly Kings are most importantly not those granted by the Primogenitors of Flame Wind or Thunder but those left by Yuan.

Yuan harbored goodwill towards the Godly Kings of the Land of Origin, leaving behind many resources for them to compete over, with the capable naturally obtaining more. Like the Lie Yuan Technique, for example. Yuan knew it was difficult to master, so he left many copies behind, and it was in the Primordial Cosmos that Luo Feng mastered it.

Once he did, all other carriers of the Lie Yuan Technique vanished.

And there are still plenty of similar resources.

Whether inheritance, weapons and treasures, or opportunities. Those ancient beings would also spare no expense for these.

"No hurry, plan slowly," Emperor Chu thought.
