Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

A moment later, the six branches of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin had all surfaced in Luo Feng's mind.

"Without a complete Great Dao of Destruction Origin as a reference, my cultivation of the Great Dao of Life was considerably slower," Luo Feng revealed a smile. After becoming a Godly King, his soul's foundation had grown more robust, his thoughts quicker, and his overall state better—a single era equated the work of the previous twenty eras.

"Though slower, it is still much higher than the average level of the Godly Kings from the Land of Origin." Luo Feng was quite satisfied nevertheless.

But there were aspects that troubled Luo Feng as well.

"Master gifted me ten Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruits to use during my time in the Primal Chaos Realm and the First Realm of Godly King," Luo Feng gently shook his head. "However, the physical body and soul of my current state in the First Realm of Godly King far surpass those of the same level... The effects of the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit have become quite weak."

In these twelve eras, Luo Feng had consumed one primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit.

The speed of his thought seemed to increase only by thirty to forty percent, and his soul's condition had improved slightly—that was all!

"I'll leave the remaining Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruits for Primoridal Ancestor," Luo Feng thought. To Primordial Ancestor, still in the Primal Chaos Realm, the effect of these fruits was still excellent.

Sigh.

Luo Feng stepped towards the edge of this level in the Star Tower.

"Chaos Hole Six Strikes is an attack technique from the Special Grade Inheritance 'Chaotic Hole Beast Body' and is even more exquisite than the first three blades of Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades. Displayed by a World Life Form... Even one of my avatars, I reckon, has almost half the strength of the Emperor of Tian Kun, but still unable to affect the Star Tower in the slightest?" Luo Feng touched the tower wall.

When he had first become a Godly King, his combat techniques were weaker, even lesser in might compared to the Emperor of Tian Kun. It was only because of his multiple avatars and extremely strong life force that he had been more troublesome.

Now, Luo Feng merely needed to dispatch two avatars to fight on par with the Emperor of Tian Kun.

Luo Feng had reached this step due to multiple reasons.

The accomplishment of the Great Dao of Life Origin combined with Special Grade Inheritance, comprehending the 'Ten Directions World Form.'

The accomplishment of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin combined with Special Grade Inheritance, grasping one of the Chaos Hole Six Strikes.

The Formless and Intangible ability, which transmuted materials for the 'Ten Directions World Form.'

The vast soul basis brought by the Perfect Life Form, along with the will at the bottleneck of the Ultimate Realm of God King.

"In the First Realm of Godly King, I'm quite impressive, able to contest those from the Second Realm of Godly King who have accumulated profound depth," Luo Feng thought. "However, my current accumulation does not even qualify to practice the Perfection Level Inheritance 'Nine Realms of Extinction' at the first realm."

The first realm of 'Nine Realms of Extinction,' part of the First Realm of Godly King chapter in Perfection Level Inheritance, requires surpassing the Godly-King's Will right at the entry level!

Indeed, those who can surpass the Godly-King's Will are generally counted on one's fingers within a Source World.

This Perfection Level Inheritance also made Luo Feng soberly realize...there is always a higher mountain! He might seem outstanding, but only within the Source World of the Land of Origin.

"This Star Tower, I've long refined and controlled it. Even when I was an eternal true god, I couldn't detect its particularity," Luo Feng mused internally.

Back then I was too weak, and the aids like Sha Wu Wings were stronger than the Star Tower.

Remembering the period in the Primordial Cosmos, I thought that the Bloodshadow Knife, Sha Wu Wings, Boat of Mausoleum, and others were superior to the Star Tower. Indeed, it was like a pearl covered in dust.

"Now that I can match the profoundly accumulated Second Realm of Godly King, I still can't comprehend it through and through!" Luo Feng felt that even with some Secret Treasure Weapons beyond the Godly King level, he could at least glimpse some mysteries with his understanding of the Great Dao.

But the Star Tower, he couldn't glimpse anything at all. Note that I have nurtured the Star Tower over the long years, and it felt like a part of my own life—I should be the easiest to investigate its truth.

"Mountain Sitting Guest Teacher, was also in the First Realm of Godly King, his secret patterns created during the Star Tower's refinement are not even on my level."

"The Star Tower's particularity seems to come from a strand of Golden Light accidentally integrated during the refinement process," Luo Feng felt the Star Tower carefully.

Even with this realm's breakthrough, I still couldn't glimpse anything.

"I wonder what realm it will take to glimpse its reality."

Luo Feng set this aside for the moment and sat down cross-legged, beginning to implement the 'Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique' from the 'Lie Yuan Technique.'

Rumbling~~~

Having comprehended the six branches of destruction, Luo Feng only felt as if the 'Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique' had turned into a dark chaos hole enveloping his spiritual will, fiercely compressing, crushing, slaughtering...

Under this influence, Luo Feng's spiritual will naturally became more refined, visibly transforming at a perceivable rate.

"The progress in the Great Dao of Destruction was very helpful for the 'Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique,'" Luo Feng was delighted internally. Although his spiritual will was transforming, its strength remained firmly capped at the bottleneck of the Ultimate Realm of God King, unable to advance in the slightest.

City Owner's Mansion, Huyang City.

"Master."

"Luo He."

Morosa and Moyu Hu came to see Luo Feng together, and an avatar of Luo Feng came out to meet them.

"What's happened that brings both of you to me at the same time?" Luo Feng smiled as he looked at them.

Now that I command this faction, it covered the surrounding twenty territories! Given the capabilities of Moli Meng and Moyu Hu, they lacked the ability to manage such an enormous territory.

Therefore, this territory was mainly managed by Morosa and Moyu Hu, and below them were a host of eternal true gods.

Having an illusionary avatar, his path of cultivation involved comprehending the operation of everything under the heavens, and he was inclined to arrange multiple illusionary avatars with different identities to understand the workings of the Land of Origin.

As a Sector Beast, Morosa had avatars from a young age, capable of being formless, intangible, and without the need for cultivation, allowing him leisure time to indulge in food, drinks, and pleasure around the world while also leading many affairs.

Looking at Yuan beside him, Morosa was ultimately a servant, while Yuan was Luo Feng's grandmaster.

In the world of cultivators, the relationship between master and disciple was highly valued, but as for a grandmaster? Not so much! Firstly, grandmasters and their succeeding generations might not even have met each other more than a few times. Secondly, the lifespan of cultivators was so lengthy that the master's master's master could form a whole lineage of grandmasters!

However, the relationship between Luo Feng and the Primordial Ancestor was not ordinary.

From Luo Feng's perspective, the Primordial Ancestor had sheltered all of humanity for countless years, a fact that alone commanded immense respect.

From the Primordial Ancestor's perspective, Luo Feng had rescued him from the suppression in the Primordial Cosmos and had helped him substantially on the path of cultivation.

"We encountered some troubles." Yuan said seriously, "Managing twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures requires recruiting many eternal true gods. During the recruiting process, we discovered a hidden power."

Luo Feng listened.

Managing twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures, each having several major cities and many ordinary towns, each prefecture would recruit hundreds of eternal true gods, which was already considered a few.

"In recruiting eternal true gods, we naturally select the elite," Yuan stated, "but we found that in each Primal Chaos Prefecture, the elite are being quietly recruited and taken away by a certain force."

Luo Feng was surprised, "Is this the case in all Primal Chaos Prefectures? These twenty owned by me come from both Yu Kingdom and Shi Kingdom."

"Yes."

Yuan nodded, "All twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures are like this, being targeted by this mysterious force recruiting elite eternal true gods! I even discovered that in a broader area... such as in Shi Kingdom, Yu Kingdom, and some other places, this power is probably also recruiting elite eternal true gods."

"That's a wide range," Morosa spoke, "My avatars traveled across different regions to investigate, and the infiltration range of this power is hard to estimate."

"Oh?" Luo Feng frowned slightly.

Being able to infiltrate across such a large range means even the Masters of Shi Kingdom and Yu Kingdom, among others, turned a blind eye—this power must have substantial influence.

"The numbers they recruit are not that large, just three to five individuals per major city after their selection process," Yuan added, "I learned of this and did not dare to act rashly."

"This power is troublesome," Morosa stated gravely.

"Let me first contact the Master of Yushui," Luo Feng smiled faintly, and immediately contacted the Master of Yushui through causal transmission, briefly explaining the situation Morosa and the others discovered.

"Luo River, little brother, this force is called 'Life Mother River', and they have infiltrated about thirty percent of the territories in the Land of Origin, all recruiting elite eternal true gods—it's highly troublesome," Morosa explained.

"Thank you, I know what to do now," Luo Feng replied upon hearing the name Life Mother River, understanding the whole situation.

Emperor Chu had informed him of this mysterious power before.

Knowing some details about the opposition, Luo Feng already had a plan.

"Primordial Ancestor," Luo Feng addressed, "send one of your avatars to their branch headquarters and inform them... to forever withdraw from my territories."

Primordial Ancestor understood immediately.

"Should they opt for confrontation, you can dissipate your avatar as needed; there's no need for a direct clash," Luo Feng added.

"Understood," Primordial Ancestor nodded, "Luo River, what's the origin of this force?"

"This power is called Life Mother River," Luo Feng replied with a smile, "As long as they remain hidden, they are not to be feared."

Primordial Ancestor nodded, "I will go and meet them now."

Primordial Ancestor immediately left.

"Master, I shall take my leave first," Morosa spoke and then departed.

"Emperor Chu, and Life Mother River have some old grievances!" Luo Feng thought, "If that 'Master of the Mother River' arrives, it could bring my master into the scene."

In the information Emperor Chu shared with Luo Feng, whom among those pinnacle beings in the Land of Origin he had ties or enmities with was clearly recorded.

Hum!

With a thought, Luo Feng activated the World Reflection, beginning to observe his vast territories to check on the activities of Primordial Ancestor's illusionary avatar.

Normally, Luo Feng would not constantly perform 'World Reflection' since it consumed concentration. Even when reflecting… the actions of countless creatures within his vast territories were generally 'ignored' instinctively unless something significant caught his attention.

...

In Quyang Chaos State, within the bustling core city, 'Quyang City', which was also one of the twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures under Luo Feng.

An illusionary avatar of Primordial Ancestor walked within the city.

This power is about to recruit internal members here in Quyang City in a few dozen days; the invited elite eternal true gods will all come," Primordial Ancestor soon arrived outside a cave mansion.

His figure, ghost-like, ignored the formation guarding the mansion and naturally entered a plaza within the cave mansion.

"Which Primal Chaos Great Saint dares intrude into our sect's division?" An angry voice came, "Oh? It's the former Guest Elder of the Flame Wind Ancient Country!"

"It is I," Yuan stood in the plaza, sweeping his gaze all around, calmly stated, "The City Lord has ordered that your group swiftly withdraw from the twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures under his command."
