Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 165: Calm

Hu Yang City.

Moyu Qingyan and his wife had stayed in the city for a while, but it was time for them to leave.

“This is where I grew up. My father and my elder brother are here,” Moyu Qingyan said with reluctance. “Yunge, I even thought about us staying here together… After all, Master has a clone here, and I can often seek his guidance.”

“I know you’re reluctant,” his wife Yunge smiled and said. “But from a cultivation perspective, Hu Yang City is just a city in the relatively remote Yuguo, far from the resources available in Xiangjie City! Xiangjie City, being on the border between two ancient kingdoms, is far more prosperous than here.”

“Resources are essential for cultivation.”

“And besides, the vice city lord of Hu Yang City is jointly held by your father and Magili Meng. If you stay here, would you compete for their position?” Yunge continued, “Moreover, both your Second Master and the original Divine Lord are in Xiangjie City, and they have both given you guidance.”

“I understand,” Moyu Qingyan nodded. “I was just talking about it.”

For themselves, and for the future children of the couple, Xiangjie City was undoubtedly the best place.

“Let’s go,” Yunge said.

“Alright,” Moyu Qingyan agreed, and they both left their residence.

In the City Lord’s mansion, Moyu Qingyan’s family, along with some friends including Magili Meng, had gathered to bid farewell to Moyu Qingyan, his wife, and Morosa.

“Father,” Moyu Qingyan looked at his father.

Moyu Hu was quite content and transmitted his voice to remind him, “Qingyan, City Lord Luo has trusted me and taken you as a disciple, which is a great favor. You must always remember this tremendous kindness and never become arrogant. If you let pride get to you and displease City Lord Luo… this friendship will be lost.”

“I understand,” Moyu Qingyan nodded. He had been with his master for so long that he naturally understood his master’s temperament.

“For us cultivators, it’s rare to encounter a great opportunity in our lives. City Lord Luo is your greatest opportunity, so never forget that,” Moyu Hu continued, looking at his son’s increasingly promising future while reminding him once again.

In such a short time, his son had become an Eternal True God! In Xiangjie City, he was practically the acting city lord, and had even married the daughter of royalty, signaling a bright future.

“Second Brother,” Moyu Liefeng looked at his brother. While he had decent resources in Hu Yang City, he did not have someone like Morosa to guide him, and he had followed the bloodline cultivation system from the start, which had left him stuck at the Void True God stage.

When they were young, among the three brothers, he had clearly been the most talented. But with Morosa’s guidance and Luo Feng’s resources nurturing Moyu Qingyan, the difference had become apparent.

Of course, Moyu Liefeng didn’t mind. He only felt happy.

After all, this was his only brother left in the world!

“I wonder when we will meet again,” Moyu Liefeng said, looking at his only brother. “Have a few more children with your wife. Of the three of us brothers, you’re the only one without kids.”

“For sure,” Moyu Qingyan laughed, then turned to a young man in the distance, waving him over. “Fengqiu, come here.”

“Second Uncle,” the young man approached, his appearance resembling that of Moyu Liuxing.

Moyu Fengqiu had been born after Moyu Liuxing died and his wife, Mo Youchang, had already been pregnant.

Following the traditions of the great family, Moyu Fengqiu had initially pursued the law cultivation system, and was now only a True God.

Morosa waited in the distance. Although he felt a little anxious, he didn’t say much.

A moment later.

“Finally, we can set off,” Morosa breathed a sigh of relief when Moyu Qingyan and his wife walked over.

He had been craving a good meal for a while.

“Second Master, let’s depart,” Moyu Qingyan said as they approached.

Morosa nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a flying boat appeared. Morosa, Moyu Qingyan, his wife, and their attendants all boarded the vessel.

Soon, the flying boat broke through the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

The Moyu family watched the scene from afar. Hu Yang City was far from Xiangjie City, and without special circumstances, it was rare for them to meet again.

“My Second Uncle is quite generous. Each time he comes back, the resources he gives are far more than those from my First Uncle’s side,” Moyu Fengqiu thought to himself as he watched. Although his mother was strict in managing him, as Moyu Liuxing’s only child, he was naturally cherished in the Moyu family, and was undoubtedly a prominent figure in Hu Yang City.

However, due to City Lord Luo’s temperament, the children of the Moyu and Magili families, who served as the two vice city lords, had to be cautious and restrained.

“Moyu Hu is the one I trust most.”

In the City Lord’s mansion, Luo Feng’s clone also watched the scene from afar. “Moyu Liefeng isn’t bad either, but the later generations of the Moyu family… are quite mediocre.”

Back when the Heart Shadow Sect wreaked havoc, Moyu Liuxing had died.

Luo Feng had once considered that if Moyu Liuxing’s child, Moyu Fengqiu, had a good character, he could be cultivated. But after observing the city for such a long time, Luo Feng had given up on that idea.

…

Morosa led Moyu Qingyan and his wife from Hu Yang City in Yuguo, traveling to the borders of the Flame Wind Ancient Kingdom. They first visited Chu Capital before heading to the border city, Xiangjie City.

In Chu Capital, inside Luo Feng’s cave mansion, in the Star Tower.

As a World Beast, Morosa had the ability to create clones from an early age, one of his innate abilities. At this moment, his true form remained in the Star Tower, fully focused on digesting the corpse of the Divine King.

“Master, Master,” Morosa had just finished digesting part of the corpse when he immediately summoned his master.

“What is it?” Luo Feng entered the Star Tower, arriving in the space designated for Morosa.

“The Divine King’s corpse is special,” Morosa’s expression was solemn.

“Is it unsuitable for devouring and digestion?” Luo Feng asked.

Morosa replied, “This Divine King’s corpse is very beneficial to me, but the nature of this body… it absolutely cannot be something cultivated by a Divine King at the First Boundary.”

Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly, “What do you mean?”

“When I was digesting it, I could clearly sense that this body contains profound mysteries of both the ‘Origin Path of Matter’ and the ‘Limitless Origin Path.’ These two Paths combined to create this physical body. In terms of profundity, it far exceeds my current level, and is definitely not something from the First Boundary of the Divine King. It could be the Second Boundary or even the Ultimate Boundary.”

Luo Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

“The Divine King I killed had a strong and tough body, but from my estimation, he was only at the peak of the First Boundary of the Divine King, and far from being invincible at that level,” Luo Feng said.

“This body must have been crafted by an extremely powerful being,” Morosa said.

“No wonder… no wonder his mind and will were so weak. His strongest asset, his body, was enhanced by external forces,” Luo Feng understood.

The Divine King he had killed must have had a shallow foundation.

It was only through external assistance that he gained such a strong body and power.

“A body still requires a strong will to control it,” Morosa added, “The potential of this body is immense. The Divine King who died could only utilize a portion of its power due to his weak will. If his will had been strong, his strength might have skyrocketed.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“Master, it’s one thing to cultivate one’s own body, but helping others to cultivate their bodies is an entirely different level of difficulty,” Morosa said seriously. “I can only use the natural nurturing of my ‘World’ to create life, but this mysterious figure was able to achieve this through his own power… it’s terrifying.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“We must be cautious when dealing with this figure,” Morosa warned. “At least for now, we are far from being his match.”

Just from a single corpse, they could see the vast gap between them.

“I’m still only at the Chaos Realm, and you’re only at the First Boundary of the Divine King. Don’t think about opponents just yet. Focus on getting stronger, slowly,” Luo Feng said.

“Yes,” Morosa nodded, still shaken by the body he was digesting.

Time passed.

After the death of the Divine King from the Shadow Sky Realm, no news spread across the Origin Continent about any Divine King’s demise, which further convinced Luo Feng and Morosa that the Divine King was merely a servant created by some terrifying hidden figure.

Afterward, Luo Feng didn’t encounter any more trouble. It was clear that the mysterious figure who had crafted the body had no intention of targeting Luo Feng.

“Compared to the true peak powers of the Origin Continent, I’m still far too weak,” Luo Feng focused on his cultivation.

The Ruler of Tiandu from Shiguo, a Divine King at the Second Boundary, though considered a dominant figure,

was far from the pinnacle of the Origin Continent. The leaders of the hidden powers on the continent were all mysterious and terrifying.

The Two Worlds Palace, Myriad Laws Tower, and Time-Space Lone Boat—these were forces that even the two ancient kingdoms were wary of, with alien powerhouses behind them. These alien entities only sent down avatars, making them impossible to completely eradicate.

The Shadow Sky Realm, which Luo Feng had recently encountered, wasn’t seen as a threat by the two ancient kingdoms. However, having sent an Emperor-level warrior, Luo Feng knew that its depths were unfathomable.

“I’m just a small figure. I’ll accumulate power slowly.”

Luo Feng consumed the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and the Clear Mind Spiritual Liquid, focusing mainly on comprehending the “Ten Directions World Form.” When tired, he would study the *Tribulation Beast Diagram* and occasionally deal with some spiritual beings from the Infinite Space.

In the Infinite Space, Luo Feng exchanged for a total of four top-level inheritances, though they were only at the First Boundary of the Divine King.

Even so, they greatly expanded Luo Feng’s knowledge, making him keenly aware of the importance of “comprehension” and “willpower.”

For instance, if Luo Feng’s mental will was weaker, the number of forms he could maintain in his Trinity Form would greatly decrease, and his overall strength would significantly decline. Moreover, mental willpower also affected one’s “understanding of the Dao” and “control over the body,” among many other aspects.

“I have a feeling that if I focus on comprehending the six branches of life, I will be able to grasp them soon,” Luo Feng felt this during his cultivation.

“But it’s still not enough!”

“According to the creator of *The World Life Form*, don’t force the comprehension. Once the accumulation reaches its deepest level, mastery will come naturally,” Luo Feng continued to study the Ten Directions World Form.

The six branches of life and the six branches of destruction had already reached the peak of the Chaos Realm over hundreds of eras, but evidently, there was still a gap in their accumulation.

Regarding the six branches of destruction, Luo Feng did not have the feeling that he could quickly break through if he just tried to comprehend them.
