Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 172: Yuanzu’s Breakthrough

While Luo Feng was fully immersed in his cultivation, Yuanzu suddenly contacted him.

“Yuanzu.”

Luo Feng knew Yuanzu’s personality well; unless it was something important, he wouldn’t disturb his cultivation. So, Luo Feng immediately went to see him.

“Luo Feng.”

Yuanzu sat in a pavilion and, seeing Luo Feng arrive, smiled and poured him a drink. “Come, drink some wine.”

“Yuanzu, you’re in a good mood?” Luo Feng sensed it as well.

“Hahaha… I’ve finally comprehended the foundation of the Dao, so of course, I’m happy,” Yuanzu said.

“You’ve comprehended the Chaos Law?” Luo Feng was both surprised and delighted.

Yuanzu nodded. “Luckily, you provided me with ample resources, and the many legacies of the Heart Shadow Sect served as the foundation for my cultivation. Otherwise, it would have taken me ten to a hundred times longer.”

Back when they seized the resources from the Heart Shadow Sect, it seemed like a lot. But after Luo Feng had obtained three trillion cosmos sand from the City Lord of Arid Wind in one go, those previous resources were no longer worth mentioning.

However, allowing an Eternal True God to freely use those resources was still incredibly luxurious.

Luo Feng himself had been quite poor when he was at the Eternal True God stage.

“To reach the Chaos Realm within a hundred eras, and even create your own method, is truly impressive,” Luo Feng praised. “Yuanzu, you are fully capable of breaking through to the Divine King stage.”

“The Divine King stage is much harder than the Chaos Realm,” Yuanzu laughed. “The path must be taken one step at a time; I still have a long way to go.”

Luo Feng understood clearly.

He had reached the Chaos Realm in just over thirty eras, but that was with the help of an opportunity to directly confront the Origin Path of Life. For Yuanzu to reach the Chaos Realm within a hundred eras, even with sufficient legacies and resources, his speed was still astonishing.

“Yuanzu, to have comprehended the stunning ‘Virtual Universe’ secret method while still at the True God stage, and to become the strongest in the regions surrounding the Primal Universe, truly shows your extraordinary talent.” Luo Feng had long recognized Yuanzu’s exceptional talent, but it wasn’t until they arrived at the Origin Continent and gave him enough resources that Yuanzu truly began to shine.

Luo Feng felt joy as well.

If the human race had only him as its pillar, he would face considerable pressure in handling matters on the Origin Continent. Having a similarly talented ‘Yuanzu’ to share the burden allowed Luo Feng much more ease.

“You should quickly complete the breakthrough of your miniature universe and transform your godly body,” Luo Feng said. “Also, take the opportunity to thoroughly explore which Dao best suits you.”

“I’m very interested in the ‘World Origin Path’,” Yuanzu said.

“The World?” Luo Feng understood.

The path Yuanzu followed was strictly the ‘Virtual World.’ As the virtual world extended upwards, it could delve deeply into the soul direction! But the soul path had no clear Dao; everything needed to be self-realized.

The virtual world could also extend into the ‘World Origin Path.’

Just like Thunder.

The ‘Boundless Origin Path’ included thunder, fire, wind, earth, and other forms of energy. But ‘Thunder’ could also lead to a complete ‘Thunder Origin Path.’

The starting point might be the same, but the destination could be completely different.

“During my suppression by the Primal Universe, I gained deep insights into the myriad forms of life and the operations of all things, and I became very interested. The path of the World is very suitable for me,” Yuanzu said.

He loved the virtual world, but he also loved the real world.

This path had much for him to study.

“The path you love and are most interested in is the one you can walk the furthest,” Luo Feng agreed.

…

On the same day, in the area of the Primal Universe.

A massive miniature universe expanded once again; this was Yuanzu’s miniature universe.

“Yuanzu’s miniature universe is expanding again?”

“Yuanzu has broken through, and so quickly?”

True Gods and Universe Masters from various races came to observe from a distance as Yuanzu’s massive miniature universe expanded again.

The human race’s experts were even more excited. The humans had the Galaxy Ancestor, the absolute number one expert of the surrounding cosmos seas. His miniature universe had a diameter of trillions of light-years, and merely seeing that massive miniature universe left other races with no will to fight.

Now, the next strongest after the Galaxy Ancestor, Yuanzu, had a miniature universe that was also rapidly growing.

“Teacher is about to break through.”

The City Lord of Chaos watched this scene with joy and turned to Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, when can we go and challenge the Samsara?”

The City Lord of Chaos had long been capable of becoming a ‘Void True God,’ but he had been holding back from breaking through.

Now, seeing his disciple Luo Feng achieve a miniature universe with a diameter of trillions of light-years and watching his own teacher Yuanzu continuously break through, the City Lord of Chaos was getting a bit restless.

“On the other side of Samsara, there are countless strong experts, unfathomably powerful,” Luo Feng said. “You should patiently cultivate in the Primal Universe region. I estimate that before the end of this Samsara era, you will be able to set out.”

A Samsara era in the Primal Universe lasted about ten thousand eras on the Origin Continent.

Luo Feng calculated that, given that much time, he should be able to deal with the Heavenly Kun Ruler. Even if he couldn’t, he should at least have enough confidence to protect the human race’s strong experts when they arrived on the Origin Continent.

“Alright,” the City Lord of Chaos smiled and nodded. “Actually, our cultivation progress in the Primal Universe region is very slow now.”

“I know.” Luo Feng nodded. “Although cultivation in the Primal Universe region is difficult, the greater the challenge, the more it tempers oneself. The benefits in the future will be even greater.”

Having adapted to cultivating in harsh environments, their efficiency would naturally soar once they reached a place like the Origin Continent.

The City Lord of Chaos nodded.

Luo Feng and Yuanzu had long prevented the human experts from challenging the Samsara, instructing them to wait patiently. From this, it was clear… the situation on the other side wasn’t something that even Luo Feng and Yuanzu could fully handle.

In the Chu Capital, at the Marquis Chu Yu Residence.

“Brother Chu Yu,” Luo Feng sent a remote message.

“Hmm?”

Di Chu Yu raised his head and saw Luo Feng in the distance, smiling, “Brother Luo He.”

Only then did Luo Feng take a step and land in the marquis’ residence.

“Brother Luo He, it’s rare to see you here.”

Di Chu Yu’s demeanor was much more relaxed. After all, with the vast resources from the heavenly mission, after a hundred eras, he had already reached the peak of the Chaos Realm in terms of strength.

After all, with his Infinite Divine Body, achieving such strength wasn’t difficult. However, in terms of realm, he was still a bit short of breaking through the bottleneck.

But with enough strength and the powerful guest elder Luo He the Great Sage on his side, Di Chu Yu was able to navigate smoothly. The other first-class marquises of the royal family weren’t foolish enough to challenge him.

“There is something I need Brother Chu Yu’s help with,” Luo Feng said directly.

“Oh?” Di Chu Yu’s eyes lit up.

This was good news.

As Luo He’s strength grew stronger, logically, there were fewer and fewer opportunities for him to need the help of a first-class marquis like Di Chu Yu.

“The thing is, my clansman ‘Yuan’ has just reached the Chaos Realm,” Luo Feng said. “I want a guest elder position in the Ancient Flame Kingdom.”

“A guest elder position?” Di Chu Yu frowned slightly. “Yuan is a newly ascended Chaos Realm, right? Is he from the Law lineage?”

“The Law lineage,” Luo Feng nodded.

A Chaos Realm from the Law lineage was the minimum requirement to be recruited as a guest elder.

“Just barely reaching the minimum requirement, and he’s not an Infinite Divine Body,” Di Chu Yu shook his head lightly. “Any first-class marquis of the royal family would be reluctant to use a guest elder position on him.”

The guest elder positions for the first-class marquises of the royal family were very carefully guarded, as they were their most important sources of support.

“I’m not very familiar with the internal workings of the royal family, so I came to ask you,” Luo Feng said.

After Yuan reached the Chaos Realm, for him to grow further, he first needed a legacy and resources that suited him.

At most, Luo Feng could figure out a way to obtain one or two Divine King-level legacies of the ‘World Origin Path,’ but they might not be very suitable for Yuan. The best way… was to have Yuan become a guest elder of the Ancient Flame Kingdom. At that time, the Legacy Hall’s many legacies would be available for him to choose from.

There was no denying it!

The guest elder system of the two great ancient kingdoms was an enormous boon for those at the Chaos Realm. However, the guest elder positions were very few in number, as the two

great ancient kingdoms clearly aimed to cultivate elites.

“I personally have two positions, but they’ve both been used up. From what I know, there aren’t many vacant positions left in the Ancient Flame Kingdom,” Di Chu Yu said. “Especially after the heavenly mission, most of the first-class marquises of the royal family have already used up their guest elder positions.”

Luo Feng understood.

“At least among the Di Chu lineage, I haven’t heard of anyone with a position still available. Among the other twelve royal lineages, there might be some left. I’ll look into it,” Di Chu Yu said.

“Any conditions can be negotiated,” Luo Feng said. “Even hundreds of billions of cosmos sand are no big deal.”

“Alright, I’ll look into it immediately,” Di Chu Yu promised.

…

That same day, Di Chu Yu led his personal guards and left the Chu Capital, heading to the ‘Youdu’ of the Ancient Flame Kingdom.

Youdu was the ancestral land of the Di You lineage.

The Di You lineage had a good relationship with the Di Chu lineage, and the first-class marquises of the two royal families often interacted with one another.

“Chu Yu, why didn’t you just send a message? Why come to Youdu in person?” A man in a purple robe said with a smile.

“Youfeng,” Di Chu Yu sat across from him. “I know you still have a guest elder position.”

Di Youfeng looked at him and smiled, nodding. “Yes, everyone knows I only have one guest elder. There’s indeed one position still available. Many people have come to me for it, and quite a few Chaos Realm experts are willing to pledge themselves to me.”

“Great Sage Luo He wants this position,” Di Chu Yu said.

“Great Sage Luo He?” Di Youfeng’s heart skipped a beat, but then he relaxed. “If Great Sage Luo He were willing to be my guest elder, I’d gladly offer the position. But he’s already your guest elder. If he wants the position, it’s for another Chaos Realm expert, right?”

Di Chu Yu nodded. “A newly ascended Chaos Realm, from the Law lineage.”

“A newly ascended Chaos Realm?” Di Youfeng shook his head.

“Don’t concern yourself with who this Chaos Realm expert is. The key is, Great Sage Luo He wants the position. Whatever conditions you want, just say the word,” Di Chu Yu said. “You should know, Great Sage Luo He will soon become a Divine King. Moreover, he will be a dominant force.”

Di Youfeng looked at him. “So what if he becomes a dominant force? How would that benefit a first-class marquis of the royal family? Even if he becomes a Divine King, he can’t participate in the competition among the first-class marquises.”

The competition among first-class marquises was at the Chaos Realm level. It was prohibited for Divine Kings to participate, as it would be an unfair advantage.

“Whatever conditions you want, just name them,” Di Chu Yu said.

“What I want is to become a Divine King,” Di Youfeng said. “In the last heavenly mission, I ranked second within the Di You lineage. You should know that a few resources won’t move me. What I need is a guest elder who is entirely devoted to me and strong enough.”

“If I don’t find a suitable candidate, I’d rather leave the position vacant. Having an available position is enough to attract a group of Chaos Realm experts to work for me,” Di Youfeng said. “If the position were filled, most of those Chaos Realm experts would probably leave.”

Di Chu Yu was silent.

“Brother Chu Yu, you should understand. It’s been a hundred eras since the heavenly mission, and no new first-class marquis has emerged within the royal family,” Di Youfeng said. “Those first-class marquises who didn’t use their positions during the heavenly mission aren’t going to give them up easily now.”

“After all, a first-class marquis only has two positions for life.”

“Not every first-class marquis of the royal family is as lucky as you, to have chosen Great Sage Luo He as a guest elder,” Di Youfeng said.

“No way to make it work?” Di Chu Yu looked at him.

“Here’s what I can do. For a treasure worth two million merit points, I’ll sell you the position. Don’t say I’m charging too much,” Di Youfeng said. “Of course, I also know that Great Sage Luo He wouldn’t be willing to part with that much treasure.”

Two million merit points were equivalent to about six trillion cosmos sand.

Hearing this, Di Chu Yu could only rise. The price was outrageous.

…

In just over ten days, Di Chu Yu met with seven first-class marquises of the royal family, but all refused him.

Outside the two great ancient kingdoms, Chaos Realm experts might fear the number one in the Chaos Realm, or the future powerful Divine King. But for the first-class marquises of the royal family? A guest elder Divine King couldn’t threaten them, nor could he help them. Without sufficient conditions, they had no interest in helping.

Hundreds of billions of cosmos sand might seem like a lot. Before the heavenly mission, a first-class marquis might have only accumulated that much.

But after the heavenly mission distributed its resources, the first-class marquises were now wealthy. Without enough of a temptation, it was impossible to sway them.
