Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 158: Solo Journey
Chapter 158: Solo Journey
Xiangjie City had become much more prosperous compared to a hundred eras ago.
The punishment of the absolute number one “Luo He the Great Sage” of the Chaos Realm Transcendent, who was required to guard Xiangjie City for ten thousand eras, had become widely known, even among the ordinary Eternal True God families, as time passed.
More and more small forces, branches of large clans, and Eternal True God families were willing to settle in Xiangjie City.
A lot of trade between the two ancient kingdoms was also being conducted here! Firstly, because it was a border city, taking advantage of its geographical location. Secondly, for safety! The larger the trade, the more important safety became! Killings and plundering were quite common on Origin Continent.
But who would dare to cause trouble in a city guarded by Luo He the Great Sage?
“General Moyu.”
“General Moyu.”
Moyu Qingyan led several personal guards to the Guardian’s Residence, and the guards at the entrance were quite respectful.
Today, Moyu Qingyan held significant power in Xiangjie City! More than ten eras ago, after reaching the Eternal True God stage through the bloodline cultivation system, both Luo Feng and Yuanzu had intentions of letting him manage some city affairs.
Yuanzu was the deputy guardian, and according to Luo Feng’s orders, Yuanzu represented Luo Feng in the city.
Moyu Qingyan held the position of Patrol General, managing various city matters.
“General Moyu.” The servants in the Guardian’s Residence were also quite respectful when they saw Moyu Qingyan.
Everyone knew that he was the only disciple of the guardian.
Moyu Qingyan passed through unhindered and soon saw the figure sitting leisurely on the high pavilion in the distance. He immediately hurried over.
“Master.” Moyu Qingyan arrived under the pavilion and respectfully saluted.
“Come up.” Luo Feng glanced at his disciple below and smiled slightly.
He was quite satisfied with this disciple. Although Moyu Qingyan’s talent was somewhat lacking, under the relentless teachings of Morosa, he had only barely reached the Void True God realm through the law system. Even Morosa had decided to let him switch to the easier bloodline cultivation system, and with the allocation of resources, he had now become an Eternal True God.
Having lesser talent was not a big deal; character was more important.
As Luo Feng’s only personally taught disciple on Origin Continent, Moyu Qingyan had never abused his master’s reputation, which was why even Yuanzu continued to delegate authority to him.
Moyu Qingyan quickly ascended the pavilion and saw his master.
His master sat there, appearing ordinary. However, Moyu Qingyan, using his Law Source to sense the heavens and earth, could detect… the laws of the universe were subtly operating in synchrony, centered around his master.
“Qingyan, is there something you need?” Luo Feng smiled as he looked at his disciple.
“Master, your disciple has been getting along well with ‘Zhang Yunge’ of the Zhang Clan. We have discussed it, and I plan to visit her parents in the Zhang Clan. Afterward, we will go together to visit my father in Huyang City.” Moyu Qingyan said respectfully.
“Oh? You’ve decided on Zhang Yunge?” Luo Feng smiled.
For cultivators, a Dao companion wasn’t a necessity. Many spent their entire lives cultivating alone.
A Dao companion was more of a spiritual partner! Choosing one was a very careful decision.
“I have decided.” Moyu Qingyan nodded.
“Alright.” Luo Feng nodded, “Though Zhang Yunge is from a royal family, she’s many generations removed from ‘Feng Zhang Divine King.’ As my personal disciple, marrying her is certainly enough.”
Feng Zhang Divine King was a one-layer Divine King, a guest Divine King of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, with deep accumulations, and a being nearly on par with the Snow Realm Ancestor.
There were countless descendants of the royal family. While Zhang Yunge was an Eternal True God and a branch of the royal family’s main line, she was far removed from the Divine King and held no particularly high status.
“Morosa.” Luo Feng immediately called for Morosa.
Whoosh.
Morosa appeared instantly in the pavilion, smiling obsequiously, “Master, did you call for me?” He also noticed Moyu Qingyan, who immediately saluted.
“This boy Qingyan has taken a liking to a woman from the Zhang Clan named ‘Zhang Yunge’ and is preparing to visit her parents.” Luo Feng laughed.
“I know.” Morosa knew far more than Luo Feng, “I have advised him that cultivation should be the priority! Affairs of the heart will only distract him. But this time, he has set his heart on Zhang Yunge.”
“Since it’s an official visit to the Zhang Clan, you can go on my behalf.” Luo Feng said, “After all, you’re also in the Chaos Realm, so you represent me, which will be enough respect for the Zhang Clan.”
More than ten eras ago, after Moyu Qingyan became an Eternal True God through the bloodline cultivation system, Morosa, with Luo Feng’s permission, quickly revealed his strength, showing that he had already broken through to the Chaos Realm.
For Luo Feng, the number one Transcendent of the Chaos Realm, having a newly ascended Chaos Realm by his side was a common and unremarkable occurrence.
After Morosa publicly revealed his Chaos Realm strength, Luo Feng also had Moyu Qingyan formally take Morosa as his second master! Luo Feng naturally understood the bond between Morosa and Moyu Qingyan.
“Very well, I will go on your behalf.” Morosa immediately agreed.
“Thank you, Second Master,” Moyu Qingyan said.
“You’re my disciple too, after all.” Morosa was happy to do this.
Suddenly, Luo Feng lightly pointed his finger, and a drop of water flew from his fingertip, landing in Moyu Qingyan’s palm, where it turned into a droplet-shaped imprint before vanishing.
Moyu Qingyan was puzzled.
Luo Feng said, “During your visit to the Zhang Clan and the journey to Huyang City, if you encounter danger, you can activate this imprint with a thought, and it will protect you both.”
Morosa could only reveal limited power, so Luo Feng left an extra safeguard for his disciple.
“Thank you, Master.” Moyu Qingyan expressed his gratitude.
Seeing this, Morosa thought to himself, “My master may only be a Chaos Realm Transcendent, but his methods have become harder to understand for even someone like me, a true Divine King.”
“Go now.” Luo Feng nodded.
Moyu Qingyan respectfully departed, while Morosa remained in the pavilion.
“Master, should I go alone?” Morosa asked his master.
“Remember, control your revealed strength. Let it reach about fifty to sixty percent of Jiugang Marquis’s level, and that will be your limit.” Luo Feng instructed telepathically.
“Understood.” Morosa nodded, “I’ll go prepare to set off with Qingyan.”
Luo Feng nodded.
He had no desire to interfere much in his disciple’s marriage.
Love was one of the most beautiful journeys in his disciple’s life.
…
The treasured land of ‘Infinite Space.’
A psychic creature lay there, while Luo Feng stood in the distance.
Their psychic wills clashed, engaged in a fierce struggle! Luo Feng did not use the Lieu Yuan Technique but instead employed methods he had devised himself, allowing the clash to be tainted by chaotic thoughts.
“It’s about time.” After a brief confrontation, Luo Feng’s thoughts stirred.
His psychic will condensed into a star, rolling forward and crushing the vast psychic power of the psychic creature.
This crushing instantly wiped out over ninety percent of the creature’s psychic strength.
Only a small amount of the purest psychic power remained, quickly gathering once again.
“The ninth tribulation has passed!” A voice sounded in the consciousness of the tentacle creature, and an invisible power descended, nourishing its remaining psychic energy, quickly restoring it to full health.
At that moment, the tentacle creature was overjoyed.
It had finally passed!
Each of the thousand tribulations was incredibly difficult. This ninth tribulation… even after being annihilated by Luo Feng over a thousand times, Infinite Space finally recognized that it had passed the ninth tribulation.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s expression shifted. How had it recovered so quickly?
“We’ve fought over a thousand times, but we will not meet again.” The tentacle creature looked at Luo Feng, and after speaking, vanished into thin air.
Luo Feng pondered, “We won’t meet again? Looks like it’s disappearing too.”
Some of the native creatures in Infinite Space were psychic beings. Although they were fixed in place and could be constantly destroyed, only very few reward points could be earned each time they were repelled.
The more times they were repelled, the fewer the reward points became. Just now, Luo Feng had only earned 0.001 reward points for defeating it.
Typically, after being repelled over a thousand times, psychic creatures could disappear and never appear again.
“The territory that Senior Emperor Ming assigned to me had three psychic creatures. After a hundred eras, two of them have already disappeared. The remaining psychic creature offers such a low amount of reward points that it’s negligible.” Luo Feng thought to himself, “It’s about time to leave.”
This territory produced very few reward points now and had become increasingly ineffective in tempering his psychic will.
“Over the past
hundred eras, I have tempered myself using psychic pollution in combination with the Lieu Yuan Technique. Although my psychic will has improved somewhat, I still can’t completely annihilate psychic creatures using the Lieu Yuan Technique.”
These psychic creatures had incredibly strong life forces! Just like the one earlier, even after its psychic strength seemed to have been obliterated, its psychic will quickly reformed.
No wonder it was said that only a Divine King at the Ultimate Realm of psychic will, using top-tier psychic techniques, had a chance of annihilating a psychic creature.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng took a step and arrived in the distance, his flight speed now more than a hundred times faster than when he had first come to Infinite Space. With just a few steps, he reached the edge where Emperor Ming’s will was entrenched.
“Emperor.” Luo Feng bowed respectfully.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Under Emperor Ming’s protection, Luo Feng had been able to cultivate peacefully in Infinite Space for over a hundred eras.
A hundred eras of growth had given him the confidence to stand his ground in Infinite Space.
“Oh, Luo He.” Emperor Ming’s will enveloped Luo Feng, surprised, “Your psychic will has grown considerably over the past hundred eras. You’re not far from reaching the Ultimate Realm of the Divine King.”
“Thanks to your kindness, Emperor, I have been able to cultivate safely in Infinite Space, which is why I’ve made such progress.” Luo Feng replied.
Normally, the growth of a cultivator’s psychic will was incredibly slow, sometimes even stagnant or regressive.
Even with the Lieu Yuan Technique, Luo Feng spent most of his time using the Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique to continuously temper his psychic will. Under normal circumstances, it would have taken tens of thousands of eras to achieve his current level of progress.
In Infinite Space, Luo Feng had first encountered psychic pollution, and each time he was polluted, he used the Lieu Yuan Technique to refine and remove all impurities.
Constant refinement!
After a hundred eras of refinement, Luo Feng had naturally made great gains. However, as time went on, the benefits became smaller and smaller.
“The territory you granted me, Emperor, originally had three native creatures. Now, two of them have disappeared, and the reward points from the remaining one are so low they can be ignored.” Luo Feng said.
“Oh? It seems you’ve killed them many times.” Emperor Ming said.
“Each of these three native creatures has been killed over a thousand times.” Luo Feng said.
“Usually, after being killed more than a thousand times, native creatures can disappear completely. They are typically transferred to another distant part of Infinite Space.” Emperor Ming explained.
Luo Feng understood.
They had been transferred to another place? Given the vastness of Infinite Space, the chances of encountering those two vanished native creatures again were very slim.
“When dealing with royal descendants, I give them an initial piece of territory. After that, they must rely on themselves to compete.” Emperor Ming said.
“I am also here to bid farewell to you, Emperor.” Luo Feng said, “I plan to establish my own territory.”
“If you can reach the Ultimate Realm of the Divine King in the Chaos Realm, that would be quite remarkable. Infinite Space places great value on this and will offer rewards.” Emperor Ming said, “In my spare time here in Infinite Space, I have drawn some ‘Tribulation Beast Diagrams.’ I will give you one.”
As he spoke, a black-and-red scroll appeared out of thin air and flew towards Luo Feng.
Even before the scroll was unfolded, Luo Feng could feel the powerful will contained within it.
“This is different from the usual Tribulation Beast Diagrams.” Luo Feng immediately realized that the Tribulation Beast Diagrams sold in the outside world were likely drawn by Emperor Ming in his earlier years.
Luo Feng respectfully accepted the scroll.
“You’ve probably seen the ‘Shadow of the Tribulation Beast.’ But the shadow and a painting of a Tribulation Beast are not the same.” Emperor Ming said, “A painting is the Tribulation Beast as imagined by the artist. Every artist’s Tribulation Beast is different.”
“Thank you, Emperor.” Luo Feng was deeply grateful.
It was well known that his master, Emperor Chu, did not have a good relationship with Emperor Ming, yet Emperor Ming still took such care of him. Luo Feng was naturally appreciative.
With that, Emperor Ming withdrew his consciousness.
Luo Feng bowed respectfully and then flew away, beginning his solo journey through Infinite Space.
