Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

A tavern within Huyang City, on the upper floor of a small building, Hong sat alone, sipping fine wine and enjoying delicious food.

"It is only after coming to the Land of Origin that one realizes there are heavens beyond our heaven and understands how insignificant one is," Hong mused with a smile as he watched the numerous cultivators outside the window, each controlling various kinds of Flying Treasures.

In his homeland, the Primordial Cosmos Region, not counting the Primordial Ancestor and Giant Axe, Hong was the 23rd True God among the Human Clan, and he even attained True Godhood a bit faster than Luo Feng.

Of course, Luo Feng had intentionally remained at the universe master stage for a long time to pursue a higher level of godly body, and in the end, he achieved the 'Perfect Divine Body'! But Hong's talent was still incredibly dazzling within the Human Clan.

Many predecessors, who seemed to have become True Gods earlier than Hong, had actually been cultivating for far longer than him.

"Aside from Luo Feng and the Primordial Ancestor, there are already eleven from the Human Clan who have come to the Land of Origin through the cycle of reincarnation, and I am the eleventh," said Hong, who had not long arrived at the Land of Origin and found everything fresh and novel.

The bustling Huyang City, the various races of life, the different schools of thought, all were places worth exploring for him.

"True gods of void space, eternal true gods, Primal Chaos Overlords, Godly Kings." Hong thought, "Moreover, Godly Kings are further divided into Three Realms, and the Emperors and Monarchs of the two ancient countries are comparable to the Ultimate Realm of God King."

"Above the Ultimate Realm of God King are the country Ancestors, the East Extreme Domain Ancestor, Emperor Qing, and…the Galaxy Ruler!"

"Younger brother, younger brother, have you really reached this step?"

Hong felt his blood boiling with excitement.

The many forces of the Land of Origin were not clear, but Hong, Peng Gong, Primal Chaos City Lord, the Primordial Ancestor, and other strong practitioners of the Human Clan were very well aware that the Galaxy Ruler was Luo Feng!

In their homeland, Luo Feng was called the Ancestral God of the Galaxy.

"My younger brother came to the Land of Origin and is already above Godly King?" Hong was profoundly shocked, "Back when he was still a universe master, he was invincible across the entire Universe Ocean. After becoming a True God, he resolved the Sector Beast calamity."

"Given such a harsh cultivation environment in the Universe Ocean, he managed to become an eternal true god. Upon coming to the Land of Origin, he soared to new heights," Hong sighed with emotion.

He had witnessed Luo Feng's growth from weakness, step by step.

In the beginning, he was the headmaster of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall! Luo Feng was just a naive warrior...

Later on, Luo Feng grew step by step, even aiding him, and aiding the Thunder Lord.

Hong knew that being able to become a true god of void space in the harsh cultivation environment of the Primordial Cosmos Region and breaking through to the Land of Origin, the main reason was Luo Feng's help.

Without Luo Feng, the Primordial Ancestor would probably never have been released! Among the entire Human Clan able to break through by themselves... perhaps only the Primal Chaos City Lord had a slight chance.

Hong, in terms of innate comprehension, couldn't even rank in the top five among the Human Clan.

"Since coming to the Land of Origin, I've realized that great masters are like clouds," he thought.

"Talents from the native Land of Origin, countless geniuses nurtured by small universes, and the geniuses from three thousand Primordial Cosmoses who have broken through the cycle..." Hong reflected, "Compared to them, I am much more mediocre."

Any of the Human Clan who could break through to the Land of Origin, Luo Feng had prepared the highest standard of cultivation resources for them, so their cultivation went very smoothly. But Hong, Peng Gong, Dark, and the others, they all understood...

In their homeland, their talents were extraordinary.

In the Land of Origin, they struggled to become eternal true gods!

"Hmm?" Hong suddenly received a transmission, and upon seeing it, he couldn't help but show a look of joy.

"The Primordial Ancestor has become a Godly King!" Hong was quite excited.

It was only after coming to the Land of Origin that one could see the disparity in natural talent.

The Primordial Ancestor's talent was far above that of other human strong practitioners.

Hong immediately stood up.

"Divine Monarch, is the food to your satisfaction?" The attendant outside the small building was incredibly respectful. Hong's strength was nothing noteworthy within Huyang City, but as a 'Core Disciple of the Blade River Sect,' the merchants of Huyang City dared not neglect him.

"Mhm." Hong casually paid the bill and with a wave of his hand, he steered the Flying Boat and swiftly headed straight for the Blade River Sect headquarters. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

...

At the Blade River Sect headquarters, in the Cave Mansion where the Primordial Ancestor was located.

Strong practitioners from the Human Clan were continuously arriving at this moment.

"Young brother Hong, you've arrived."

"Long Xing."

Hong was naturally very familiar with this group of strong practitioners from the Human Clan, greeting each one by one, they were undoubtedly the closest-knit group in the Land of Origin!

"Fire Dome." Hong smiled at a young man with red hair.

"Master Uncle," Fire Dome replied with a smile.

Fire Dome, as Luo Feng's second disciple in the Primordial Cosmos Region and the one with the highest talent among his disciples, should be considered the senior brother to Moyu Qingyan and Xin Yu.

However, given that Fire Dome was only a true god of void space, he was not yet influential enough, and therefore currently just a core disciple of the sect.

As they were conversing and laughing, three figures walked in simultaneously - the Primordial Ancestor, Morosa, and Luo Feng!

Immediately, everyone in the room fell silent.

"The word outside is that under the command of the Galaxy Ruler, there is an old servant who is an Ultimate Realm Beast."

"It should be Elder Luo Sa," they murmured.

"Luo Feng has been in seclusion recently and has not been seeing any visitors. But when we came to the Land of Origin, it was Luo Feng himself who guided us."

Human powerhouses gathered and the conversation would also turn to Luo Feng and Morosa.

The Galaxy Ruler and the Ultimate Realm Beast attendant… were indeed a bit too stimulating for human powerhouses.

They actually had what could be called the thickest 'thighs' to cling to.

"Having cultivated in the Land of Origin for eight hundred epochs, I have finally become a Godly King," the Primordial Ancestor said with a smile as he looked around at his companions. "Of course, my becoming a Godly King was greatly thanks to Luo Feng's assistance."

"Resources alone won't make one a Godly King. Talent and comprehension are even more important," Luo Feng commented with a smile at his side.

Among the eleven strong human beings who came later, only the Primal Chaos City Lord became an eternal true god; the rest were merely true gods of void space. This revealed the gap in potential.

"Becoming a Godly King of the First Realm, I felt it was quite difficult, and I encountered many puzzles," the Primordial Ancestor shook his head. "The path of cultivation is truly getting more and more challenging."

The human powerhouses were all listening at the side.

"You all are nominally of my lineage," the Primordial Ancestor looked at the human powerhouses. "Now that I have become a Godly King, I can arrange some official positions for you. Assigning you some positions now, there won't be any objections within the Blade River Sect."

Having become a Godly King, the Primordial Ancestor's status within the Blade River Sect naturally rose greatly.

"Cultivation is not just about seclusion and comprehension; taking on official duties, dealing with affairs, and interacting more with other powerhouses is also beneficial to your cultivation," the Primordial Ancestor said.

"Yes."

The group of human powerhouses all responded.

Luo Feng's gaze fell on Fire Dome and he asked with a smile, "Fire Dome, you've been in the Land of Origin for over a century now, how is your cultivation progressing?"

"I am still lacking some accumulation to reach eternal true god," Fire Dome replied respectfully.

"Concentrate on your cultivation. Once you become an eternal true god, then I can publicly take you as a registered disciple. When you reach the Primal Chaos Realm, I can publicly accept you as a direct disciple," Luo Feng looked forward to his disciple with anticipation.

Being weak, if forcefully chosen as a registered disciple or a direct disciple, it would be harmful rather than beneficial to Fire Dome.

Currently, as an ordinary core disciple, Fire Dome lacks nothing in terms of resources, and Luo Feng would even personally give guidance.

"Disciple understands," Fire Dome replied.

Seeing this, the Primordial Ancestor also laughed and said, "If any of you have any confusion regarding cultivation, feel free to speak up. Elder Luo Sa, Luo Feng, and I can all give you guidance."

The human powerhouses were overjoyed and began to ask questions one by one.

The Primordial Ancestor, Luo Feng, and Morosa would answer in detail based on their own expertise.

Since their questions were generally related to the stages of true god of void space and eternal true god, it was easy to see the differences between Luo Feng, the Primordial Ancestor, and Morosa! Luo Feng's foundation was the most solid.

Having a special grade inheritance, creating high realm secret techniques time and again at a low realm, his understanding of the fundamentals was profoundly deep.

...

Finally, the gathering dispersed, leaving only Luo Feng and the Primordial Ancestor.

"Listening to your teachings, I have gained a lot," the Primordial Ancestor remarked emotionally. "In terms of fundamentals, I can't compare to you."

"I have obtained several special grade inheritances by chance in the Infinite Space. It's under the guidance of these special grade inheritances that my foundation has been hammered solid," Luo Feng smiled. "Primordial Ancestor, I also have a gift prepared for you."

"Oh?" the Primordial Ancestor was surprised.

Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out a silver token.

"This is a token to the treasured land 'Infinite Space,'" Luo Feng smiled. "Not long ago, I discovered this token within the bounds of my Galaxy Divine Country."

Infinite Space tokens appear randomly on the Land of Origin. The wider the territory, the easier it is to come across such treasures.

"Infinite Space token?" The Primordial Ancestor showed a look of surprise, as his status and position allowed him to peruse many of the Blade River Sect's secret reports, so he naturally knew information about various treasured lands on the Land of Origin.

The Infinite Space values spiritual will and the opening of new Great Dao the most.

"Primordial Ancestor, you are cultivating both the 'Real and Illusion' paths," Luo Feng said. "The real world has accurate Origin Dao of the World as a reference. But the 'virtual world' doesn't have this Great Dao. On the entire Land of Origin, perhaps only the treasure trove of Infinite Space may have some inheritances that could help you."

"Luo Feng, you have helped me too much," the Primordial Ancestor was quite grateful.

Initially, Luo Feng had to try everything for an opportunity, but now he could easily pave the way for the Primordial Ancestor.

"In terms of nurturing human powerhouses, my energy is limited; I often need the Primordial Ancestor to put more thought into it," Luo Feng said. "For me, and for the entire human clan, the stronger your power, the better."

The Primordial Ancestor looked at the token, feeling a fervent warmth in his heart.

He became a Godly King by figuring out a branch of the Origin Dao of the World! After all, with a detailed reference, breaking through is much easier.

The path of illusion… the Primordial Ancestor encountered too many obstacles; now, even which branches exist on the path of illusion confused him.

"This is a map of Infinite Space," Luo Feng waved his hand, and a stream of light flew towards the Primordial Ancestor. "It also marks my current location. After you arrive in Infinite Space, you can quickly meet up with me."

"The native creatures of Infinite Space, with various forces contending, I have already enveloped twelve native creatures with my spiritual will, which I can hand over to you," Luo Feng said.

"Good."

The Primordial Ancestor held the token firmly, and immediately with one thought, he used the token to send a wisp of consciousness remotely towards Infinite Space.

Luo Feng was quite expectant. In his view, since the Primordial Ancestor was researching the 'path of illusion', his spiritual will should also be outstanding. Opening up a new path would also gain the rewards of Infinite Space.

"With Infinite Space, the Primordial Ancestor should be able to go even further," Luo Feng thought.

He has helped as much as he could, but ultimately, the achievements of a cultivator must rely on oneself.
