Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Heaps of information continuously flowed into Luo Feng\'s memory. Even with the strength of Luo Feng\'s soul, it took quite some time to fully record it all.

Although Luo Feng had previously reviewed a vast amount of inheritance introductions, gaining insights, the shock he felt upon actually receiving the inheritance was still profound. It was the first time he realized just how powerful true strong beings could be!

"I once faced the Great Dao of Life Origin, thinking it to be the embodiment of the concept of life itself, an ultimate and unsurpassed power," Luo Feng mused.

"Yet, as I perceive the inheritance of the \'Eight Tribulations Life Form\' First Calamity, even through a glimpse, I can feel... that its creator is far more powerful than even the complete Great Dao of Life Origin."

This being seemed to casually utilize information from branches of the Great Dao of Life Origin, creating secret techniques from low to high. And by combining these techniques, ultimately formed the First Calamity.

The creation of such secret techniques gave off a sense of turning decay into magic, a shock that surpassed the impact the Great Dao of Life Origin had on Luo Feng.

"No wonder the Sector Beasts that grow to their pinnacle only reside in first-rate nations like Tianmu Kingdom. They wouldn\'t dare provoke the two great Ancient Countries," Luo Feng understood the more he learned, the vastness of the heavens and earth.

Hum!

Just as Luo Feng had finished receiving the inheritance and was still in awe, he was already teleported out of the Inheritance palace, appearing at the entrance.

"Brother Luo He," Marquis Chu Yu saw Luo Feng.

Luo Feng, without a second thought, responded, "Brother Chu Yu, I apologize for making you wait."

"The sky hasn\'t even darkened yet; it\'s still early," Marquis Chu Yu said with a smile.

"By the way, as a Guest Elder, your cave mansion, servants, and so on, have all been arranged by Emperor Chu\'s Lineage," Marquis Chu Yu stated, "Your disciples and servants have already gone ahead to the cave mansion."

"Oh?" Luo Feng was surprised. He had only just submitted the application upon entering the city, and now everything had already been prepared—such efficiency.

"Let\'s go, I\'ll escort you there," Marquis Chu Yu said enthusiastically.

…

In the West City of Chu Capital, Marquis Chu Yu led Luo Feng to an elegant cave mansion.

Everything around was very quiet, with large sprawling cave mansions everywhere. Those who lived here were either high-ranking members of the Imperial or Royal Family, or beings of the Primal Chaos Realm like Luo Feng.

"This is your cave mansion," Marquis Chu Yu stated.

Luo Feng, now holding the Guest Official Order, naturally took control of this cave mansion with ease.

"From now on, this cave mansion permanently belongs to Brother Luo He," Marquis Chu Yu declared with a smile.

"Master (Teacher)," Morosa, sensing something from inside the cave mansion along with Moyu Qingyan and ten servants, had already approached the main gate to greet them.

Luo Feng and Marquis Chu Yu entered together.

This cave mansion, as the dwelling of a Guest Official of Primal Chaos Realm, spanned over hundreds of millions of kilometers. The mansion\'s formation was powerful, even capable of harnessing a shred of the might from the entire Chu Capital, enough to ensure the safety of the mansion.

Such a large area was not considered vast for a Primal Chaos Realm being; secret cultivation practices even required retreating into spatial secret treasures.

Luo Feng, with a stature as high as the heavens and earth when in his godly body, could not freely display his might in the outside world.

"This cave mansion\'s formation can even harness a trace of Chu Capital\'s might. I can feel that, even with all my strength, I\'d probably be unable to shake it," Luo Feng, in control of the mansion, naturally sensed that trace of power that was vast enough to crush him.

"After all, Chu Capital was forged by the Ancestor of my Flame Wind Ancient Country," Marquis Chu Yu said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Chu Yu, there\'s something I need to trouble you with," Luo Feng began.

"Brother Luo He, there\'s no need for formalities between us," Marquis Chu Yu replied with a smile. Having such a Guest Official was the most important support on his cultivation path.

Luo Feng said, "I have a close friend who\'s currently in the City Defense Army of Yinju City in Beijiu Chaos State of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, holding the post of a Deputy General."

"Why would he be in such a dangerous frontier place?" Marquis Chu Yu was surprised.

"Hence, I need Brother Chu Yu\'s help to bring him to Chu Capital," Luo Feng stated.

Marquis Chu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since he\'s your close friend, it\'s best not to transfer him through official channels. The other first-ranked marquises... might have their eyes on me, and any interference could spell trouble."

Luo Feng nodded.

"I\'ll send a team of Royal Guards with my token to Beijiu Chaos State\'s Yinju City! They\'ll directly retrieve the Deputy General. As a member of the Imperial Clan and a first-ranked marquis, I have the authority to recruit Royal Guards. The power to enlist a mere Deputy General is still within my rights," Marquis Chu Yu explained.

"Let Luo Sa accompany them on this trip," Luo Feng suggested.

Luo Feng was concerned about potential mishaps.

His presence as a Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm Guest Official would arouse suspicion among those with ulterior motives. Sending a servant on the surface who was an eternal true god appeared less conspicuous.

"You only need to inform Luo Sa of your friend\'s identity, and that way, it won\'t be leaked," Marquis Chu Yu remarked, "Once they reach Yinju City, have Luo Sa take my Royal Guards and token to retrieve the Deputy General."

"Brother Chu Yu is more thorough than I am," Luo Feng acknowledged.

"You have no idea how fierce the competition within the Imperial Clan can be," Marquis Chu Yu shook his head, "Among us first-ranked marquises, we dare not kill each other! But the Guest Officials and subordinates at our side... they can meet deadly fates."

Luo Feng understood; the path of Dao cultivation was filled with contention.

Having entered the fray, Luo Feng was unafraid.

The game was fraught with danger, but it also offered many benefits. For example, the newly acquired inheritance of the "Eight Tribulations Life Form" First Calamity could cause him to undergo a complete transformation.

"Morosa," Luo Feng immediately communicated telepathically, "in a while, you will lead a team of Marquis Chu Yu\'s Royal Guards and stealthily head to Yinju City in Beijiu Chaos State of the Primordial Chaos Prefecture, and bring back the Ancestor."

"Bring back the Ancestor?" Morosa knew of Luo Feng\'s relationship with the Ancestor.

Among the human groups that had traversed reincarnation to come to the Land of Origin, there were only Luo Feng and the Ancestor.

The Ancestor, in the end, was Luo Feng\'s mentor\'s mentor.

Their relationship was close, even above Morosa himself.

"Aside from me, you are the only one who knows the identity of the Ancestor," Luo Feng communicated telepathically, "You must keep this trip secret at all costs."

"Rest assured, Master," Morosa responded, "If any accidents occur on the way, any dangers arise..."

"Should the Ancestor\'s life be endangered, you are permitted to reveal your Primal Chaos Realm Strength," Luo Feng replied, "You must ensure his safety."

"Understood. I will hide the Ancestor within a Spatial Secret Treasure when the time comes, and unless absolutely necessary, I will not expose my strength," Morosa, who was also very cautious in Flame Wind Ancient Country, was waiting for his master to become stronger.

When the conditions were more suitable, revealing Primal Chaos Realm Strength would no longer be conspicuous.

...

That very day.

Morosa led a team of Royal Guards from Marquis Chu Yu and silently left Chu Capital aboard a small Flying Boat. This Flying Boat could travel through the Void at incredible speeds, yet it still required five days to reach Beijiu Chaos State.

After informing the Ancestor of the news, Luo Feng began closed-door cultivation that very night.

In the quiet chamber was a Star Tower, and within the spatial confines of the Star Tower, Luo Feng pondered over the newly acquired "Eight Tribulations Life Form" First Calamity.

"In the past, I was ignorant and clueless."

"This inheritance has truly revealed the nature of the Braided Cage World and provided information beyond the Braided Cage World," Luo Feng thought to himself, feeling like a human seeing the starry sky for the first time.

Only when one looks up at the night sky does one realize how vast it really is.

"The vast areas governed by the supreme rules, the Land of Origin and the surrounding three thousand Primordial Cosmoses, are all within the Braided Cage World."

"The world I live in, everything is influenced by the supreme rules; the nurturing of life, the trials of reincarnation, transmigration, small cosmoses, the length of life, the flow of time, the stability of space, the levels of godly bodies... all determined by the supreme rules."

"The level of the godly body when becoming a True God, even decides one\'s entire life."

If one becomes a True God with an unlimited godly body, then as true god of void space, eternal true god, Primal Chaos Realm, Godly King, one will always have an unlimited godly body.

Becoming a True God with a Perfect Divine Body. Every stage thereafter is a Perfect Divine Body.

"The size of the godly body, the reserve of Divine Power, the unlimited godly bodies allow \'size as one wills\'. Like my Perfect Divine Body, it is larger than an unlimited godly body and has purer Divine Power. It also possesses the \'Formless and Intangible\' ability," Luo Feng thought, "Are these abilities things that I realized on my own by understanding the essence? No!

They are bestowed by the supreme rules!"

The supreme rules allow for the ultimate height of your godly body.

The supreme rules grant you the power to be Formless and Intangible.

The supreme rules place the cultivators of the Land of Origin\'s small cosmoses among the stars.

Everything is rules!

"Formless and Intangible are not abilities I comprehended on my own; they are abilities granted by the supreme rules," Luo Feng considered, "And according to the \'Eight Tribulations Life Form\' description, truly powerful cultivators originally live within the Braided Cage, drawing from its knowledge. Then they must break through the Braided Cage... All great powers return to oneself."

"Only those who break through the existence of the Braided Cage can truly claim that their strength comes not from the gifts of the supreme rules but from the \'Dao\' they have mastered within themselves."

Luo Feng had once felt proud of his Perfect Divine Body and abilities like \'Formless and Intangible\'.

But now, seeing this inheritance...

In the eyes of its creator, cultivators within the Braided Cage had not yet broken through the \'supreme rules\' Braided Cage.

There are two types of Cages.

One is the world\'s Braided Cage, which directly shelters all beings within the walls of the Braided Cage.

The other is the Braided Cage of the supreme rules.

Only by breaking through all Braided Cages and walking the path of \'all great powers returning to oneself\' can one truly tread the path of the Great Dao.

Even the Great Dao, one must carve out for oneself!

"If the inheritance \'Eight Tribulations Life Form\' is so incredible, what about the other costly inheritances?" Luo Feng thought to himself, "The Monarch of Yu Country and the Master of the Shi Kingdom are equally Guest Elders of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, and they can definitely exchange for some powerful inheritances."

Exchanging for inheritances is one thing, but cultivating to what realm is another matter.

"I was a bit too arrogant before. Avenging my master is not going to be easy."

The more one knows, the more humble one becomes.

After witnessing many inheritances, particularly those terrifying Dharmas cultivated with the help of Primordial Force and Primordial Materials, Luo Feng clearly understood that even in terms of the ability to preserve life, he is no match for the "Eight Tribulations Life Form" First Calamity, let alone some ancient Godly Kings.

"My master, the Mountain sitting guest, managed to escape from the pursuit of the three monarchs of the Shi Kingdom, which clearly shows that he had exceptional means," Luo Feng, now more aware, had a more accurate judgment of his master\'s true strength.

Presently, he still fell considerably short of his master.

Luo Feng immediately stopped dwelling on these thoughts and immersed himself in cultivating this inheritance.
