Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

The establishment of the Blade River Sect near Huyang City was a huge celebration across dozens of Primal Chaos Prefectures! Countless cultivators were excited, and some eternal true gods from both Shi Kingdom and Yu Kingdom rushed to join the Blade River Sect.

"A sect established by Godly King Luo He!"

"Luo He, the absolute best in the Primal Chaos Realm and upon becoming a Godly King… could immediately rival the Master of the Shi Kingdom!"

Cultivators from the dozens of Primal Chaos Prefectures nearby, who didn't know of the Master of the Shi Kingdom's tyranny! Over the long years, Shi Kingdom had been eroding and annexing the surroundings, even giving Yu Kingdom a tough time.

Luo Feng's battle with the Master of the Shi Kingdom, even forcibly taking ten Primal Chaos Prefectures from Shi Kingdom, had already proven his dominance!

Otherwise, why would the Master of the Shi Kingdom cede ten Primal Chaos Prefectures?

"With the establishment of the Blade River Sect, the first recruitment of disciples brought in 1508 eternal true god level disciples, over 30,000 true god of void space level disciples, and the selection for true god level disciples was extremely strict, also bringing in more than 50,000 of them," Yuan said.

Morosa also said, "We've tried to raise the bar as high as possible, but too many cultivators came to participate."

"The number is more than I expected," Luo Feng said.

With the sect just established and still running with some flaws, the first recruitment was intended to be controlled as much as possible with very high standards, but the number of selected disciples ended up being multiple times more than estimated.

"Mainly because, aside from our twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures, too many cultivators from the surrounding Shi Kingdom and Yu Kingdom rushed over," Yuan said. "Neither the Master of Shi Kingdom nor the Monarch of Yu Country have established sects; only the most elite and brilliant eternal true gods in their countries are invited to become their disciples. The numbers are really too few."

Luo Feng nodded. Initially, since he was outstanding enough, he even received an invitation from the Monarch of Yu Country who wanted to recruit him as a disciple.

How many could reach such brilliance?

"For the Master of Shi Kingdom and the Monarch of Yu Country, having disciples isn't that significant," Luo Feng said. For them, at their level, the numerous resources brought by the state were chiefly for their family, for their subordinates.

They cared more about some resources left behind by Yuan, more about their own cultivation of the Primordial Bloodline.

"This time, our recruited disciples, about one-third of them are from our twenty Primal Chaos Prefectures," Yuan said.

"From now on, I'll leave the affairs of the sect to you two," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Rest assured," Morosa immediately responded.

Yuan nodded.

Though both seemed to be from the Primal Chaos Realm, Morosa was actually at the Godly King Level, and they were sufficiently capable of managing the regular affairs of the sect.

"We might also need you, Luo He, to give some disciple quotas," Yuan said. "Registered disciple quotas will suffice; it will make the sect's disciples strive even harder."

Luo Feng nodded, "Start with ten registered disciple quotas and one direct disciple quota."

"That's enough," Yuan nodded.

Upon hearing this, Morosa felt a surge inside: "Master is recruiting a second direct disciple? Qingyan's status might not be so stable soon; this young man who is cultivating the Bloodline Cultivation System under my personal guidance, with resources provided… has only managed to discern one Primal Chaos Realm movement technique so far! He's far too far from reaching the Primal Chaos Realm."

Like the previously mentioned Divine Monarch Xue Yun, who mastered many Primal Chaos Realm movement techniques and even formed a complete system.

"I need to push him hard," Morosa decided firmly, aware that with the sect's broad recruitment of disciples, in the future, both direct and registered disciples would possess high talents.

Only by becoming a Primal Chaos Realm cultivator and leveraging his status as the top disciple could Moyu Qingyan secure his position.

Otherwise, even as the top disciple, being just an eternal true god, he would eventually be marginalized among the other disciples.

...

The establishment of the Blade River Sect in Huyang City, and across the Shi Kingdom and Yu Country, was considered a major event. However, in the whole Land of Origin, it hardly caught any attention as the Blade River Sect barely qualified even as a second-rate power!

In terms of territory and the overall strength of the sect, they were too weak! Only the sect's master, "Godly King Luo He," was considered a local overlord.

In the blink of an eye, it had been half an era since the establishment of the Blade River Sect.

"Hmm? Emperor Gui Xu has invited me to the treasured 'Dream Domain'?"

Luo Feng, who had been in retreat, was intrigued by an invitation from the Reincarnation Tower and promptly used his token to project his thought to that tower.

In the ethereal assembled loft, Luo Feng, since becoming an official member of the Reincarnation Tower, had visited several times. After becoming a Godly King, he had also received several call-to-action invitations, but Luo Feng had declined them all.

"Brother Luo He," called out a towering figure in the Reincarnation Tower, the recruiter this time, 'Emperor Gui Xu,' with a welcoming smile.

"Luo He." Another figure, a one-eyed woman clad in a pale green robe exuding a slightly sinister aura, was 'Cloud Sky God King', also in the First Realm of Godly King, and in the entire Reincarnation Tower, only she and Luo Feng were in the First Realm of Godly King.

Luo Feng casually sat down and asked, "Who else is coming?"

"Wuxin God King will be here shortly," Emperor Gui Xu said.

Luo Feng nodded.

Just a few breaths later, a young man entered with a smile, "Brother Gui Xu, are there any other members?"

"Just the four of us this time," Emperor Gui Xu said with a smile. "Brother Luo He rarely makes an appearance; it's truly rare that he accepted the invitation this time. This is the first time Brother Luo He is willing to take action since coming to the Reincarnation Tower."

Wuxin God King also said, "Brother Luo He has been busy lately, just became a Godly King, fought with the Emperor of Tian Kun, and now has established a sect."

"Just finished being busy," Luo Feng said.

"Establishing a sect actually adds a burden," the one-eyed woman, Cloud Sky God King, said from the side. "If a big disaster is stirred up in the future, the sect could become a weakness."

Emperor Gui Xu said, "Brother Luo He and us are different, he excels in the clone technique and cultivates multiple Great Daos. His life-saving methods are much stronger. Even if he stirs up big trouble, how many would be willing to pursue him to the death? I've come to realize that in the Land of Origin, the ability to protect oneself is more important than the ability to kill!"

"Right." Wu Xin, the Godly King, also nodded in agreement.

"The two of you still think your life-saving measures are weak." The one-eyed lady, Cloud Sky Godly King, shook her head speechlessly.

In his past life, Emperor Gui Xu had died from an encirclement by three emperors, yet he still managed to reincarnate in time.

Wu Xin, the Godly King, had comparable strength to Emperor Gui Xu head-on but possessed greater escape abilities. The Flame Wind Ancient Country had attempted to kill him numerous times, and each time Wu Xin successfully escaped. Later, for the sake of his own clan, he deliberately allowed himself to be reincarnated amidst the encirclement.

After reincarnating, he hid in the shadows, and the Flame Wind Ancient Country couldn't locate him through causality. Instead, they feared him even more and dared not easily strike against Wu Xin's clan members.

Keeping one's clan is a form of constraint.

The Flame Wind Ancient Country learned their lesson; a Godly King with nothing to lose and full of hatred poses a great threat.

Initially, the three emperors believed they could completely annihilate Emperor Gui Xu when they killed his wife, children, clan, and even all creatures in the entire city! But Emperor Gui Xu's methods were stronger than they anticipated, and despite handing over his secret treasure, he still managed to withstand their combined deadly move momentarily, long enough to reincarnate.

After reincarnating, Emperor Gui Xu used every method at his disposal, particularly targeting the new Godly Kings of the Flame Wind Ancient Country! Those who had just broken through were relatively weaker… Emperor Gui Xu, exploiting his advantage over the weaker ones, exhausted all means to assassinate them, even erasing their resurrection mediums.

To this day, he has thoroughly eradicated seven or eight Godly Kings of the Flame Wind Ancient Country! This caused great pain to the Flame Wind Ancient Country.

"Let's talk business." Emperor Gui Xu sat down, "This time, I plan to go to the treasure land 'Dream Domain', and I've invited all members. Those willing to come are just the four of us."

Yuan left behind multiple treasure sites in the Land of Origin.

Some require quotas.

Others are open to everyone! But because there are no restrictions, the thresholds are extremely high! Powerful forces will try to monopolize them, and the only way to get in is to fight your way in!

"Dream Domain…" Luo Feng was naturally aware of this treasure site's information, "With my strength, I can't fight my way in! If I get in through a relationship with the Flame Wind Ancient Country, I'd have to work under them."

This is the price of being a guest elder; want to get in? The Flame Wind Ancient Country can allow it, but you must complete many missions. Even the treasures obtained, the lion's share goes to the Imperial Clan!

"Usually, it's the three of us who act together," Emperor Gui Xu laughed, "This time we have Brother Luo He with us, so it's much easier. Many dangerous situations can be handled by asking Brother Luo He for assistance."

"Leave it to me," Luo Feng nodded.

Scouting hazards could be assigned to weaker avatars.

"From now on, the four of us will act together," Emperor Gui Xu said, "Cloud Sky Godly King will be responsible for the domain; Wu Xin and I will handle powerful enemies, while Brother Luo He will take care of scouting."

"Previously scouting was all up to me," Wu Xin, the Godly King, cheerfully interjected, "I am good at escaping, but I have only one true body. Once I encounter big trouble, I can't even escape. Now it's better with Brother Luo He… his scouting is far superior to mine."

Because the avatars dispatched by Luo Feng didn't care about escaping!

"Do the other members usually not participate?" Luo Feng asked.

Wu Xin, the Godly King, replied, "Wind Capital and Earth Godly King, both of them are powerful enough to rival emperors and monarchs! Unless it's something incredibly important, they wouldn't participate. To them, we are not just unhelpful, but rather a burden."

Luo Feng nodded.

Empress Wind Capital is well-respected, having never caused friction with various forces.

Although the Earth Godly King fights fiercely with the Thunder Ancient Country, he always acts alone.

"Great Freedom Sovereign is the highest power in the Wanjie Kingdom, second only to the 'Lord of Ten Thousand Realms'. He is a direct disciple of the Ten Thousand Realms Lord, has high status and power, and generally lacks nothing in terms of resources. He does not usually join in ordinary activities," Wu Xin, the Godly King, explained, "Tian Kun Emperor also, being a direct disciple of the Primogenitor Yan Feng, normally does not participate. As for 'Black Fire Demon Lord', commanding a major power, he won't easily involve himself."

"Only the top resources of the Land of Origin can attract those three," Wu Xin chuckled. "Me, Gui Xu, and sister Cloud Sky, we all operate independently, which is why we often act together." Read new chapters at empire

"Now we have Brother Luo He added to the mix," Emperor Gui Xu laughed heartily, "Although Brother Luo He also commands a force, he does have many avatars after all."

"Our team has become stronger," Wu Xin expressed his satisfaction.

"It's thanks to Brother Gui Xu and Brother Wu Xin leading me; I am the weakest in the team," the green-garbed one-eyed lady said.

Luo Feng also said, "This is my first mission, and I'm not very familiar with it, so please feel free to speak up about anything."

"Brother Luo He is too polite," Emperor Gui Xu still valued Luo Feng greatly. Having become a Godly King so impressively, what level could he achieve in the future? He would definitely be a great asset on his path of revenge.

Perhaps now Luo He is reluctant to conflict with the Flame Wind Ancient Country,

but by utilizing Luo He to obtain more treasure land resources and strengthen himself, this too is a form of cooperation.

"For the treasure land 'Dream Domain', we need Emperor Gui Xu and Emperor Wu Xin to fight our way in," Luo Feng also understood that Emperor Gui Xu and Emperor Wu Xin definitely ranked among the pinnacle of the Second Realm of Godly King, stronger than the Emperor of Tian Kun. To reach this level within the normal Godly King Second Realm was already the limit.

To advance further, to the level of emperor or monarch?

According to the known methods on the Land of Origin.

Either by mastering the complete Origin Great Dao, like the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms,

or by cultivating into an 'Ultimate Realm Life Form', like the emperors and monarchs of the two ancient countries, which requires immensely vast resources,

or by possessing extraordinary talents, like Empress Wind Capital and the Master of Yun He, who cultivate multiple Great Daos and practice powerful legacies… only then can one rival that level.

"If no one has any objections, then let's meet at Huang Yao Mountain in three days," Emperor Gui Xu proposed.
