Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Huyang City.

Moyu Qingyan and his wife had stayed in the city for a while, but they were about to leave.

"This is where I grew up, here with my father, my elder brother," said Moyu Qingyan with reluctance. "Yun Ge, I even thought about settling down here with you... After all, master has an avatar here, and I could often seek his advice."

"I know it’s hard for you to leave," his wife Yun Ge said with a smile, "but from a cultivation perspective, Huyang is just a city in ’Yu Kingdom,’ a relatively remote country on the Land of Origin. It doesn’t compare to Xiangjie City in terms of resources! Xiangjie City, on the border of two ancient countries, is far more prosperous."

"For cultivation, resources are very important."

"Moreover, the Deputy City Lord of Huyang is a role your father shares with Moli Meng. Are you planning to compete with them for their position?" Yun Ge asked. "And your second master and the original Divine Monarch are also in Xiangjie City, both of whom have been very instructive to you."

"I understand," Moyu Qingyan nodded. "I was merely sharing my thoughts with you."

For their future children, Xiangjie City was by far the best choice for themselves and their spouse.

"Let’s go," said Yun Ge.

"Mm." Moyu Qingyan followed her out of their residence.

Inside the city owner’s mansion, several members of the Moyu family, including Moli Meng and some friends, came to see off Moyu Qingyan and his wife, along with Morosa.

"Father," Moyu Qingyan looked at his father.

Moyu Hu was quite gratified and immediately transmitted his advice: "Qingyan, Deputy City Lord Luo trusts me and has taken you as his disciple, which is a great honor. Always remember this immense favor and never become arrogant. If your arrogance displeases Deputy City Lord Luo... then this goodwill will disappear."

"I understand," nodded Moyu Qingyan, who clearly knew his master’s temperament after being with him for so long.

"We cultivators rarely encounter such a great opportunity in life, and Deputy City Lord Luo is your greatest fortune. Remember this well," Moyu Hu said, reminding his son whose future seemed increasingly bright.

Within such a short time, his son had become an eternal true god! In Xiangjie City, he was almost acting as the city’s lord and had even married the daughter of the royal family, indicating a boundless future.

"Little brother," Moyu Liefeng looked at his brother, whose resources had always been good in Huyang City, but ultimately without the guidance of a strong cultivator like Morosa and having followed the Bloodline Cultivation System from the start, he was still stuck at the true god of void space stage.

When they were children, amongst the three brothers, he clearly had the most talent. But Moyu Qingyan had Morosa’s guidance and Luo Feng’s resources, which clearly made a difference.

Of course, Moyu Liefeng was not bothered; he was merely happy.

Because in this world, he had only this one brother left!

"I don’t know when we’ll meet again," Moyu Liefeng said to his only brother. "Have more children with your sister-in-law. Among us three brothers, you are the only one without children."

"Definitely," Moyu Qingyan smiled and then looked towards a young man in the distance, beckoning, "Feng Qiu, come here."

"Uncle," the young man approached, bearing some resemblance to Moyu Liuxing.

Moyu Feng Qiu, the youngest son, was born after Moyu Liuxing died; his wife Mo Youshang was already pregnant when Moyu Liuxing died.

As per the family’s wishes, Moyu Feng Qiu also followed the law cultivation system initially and was still just a true god.

Morosa waited in the distance, feeling a bit of urgency, but he did not press the matter. Explore more at empire

A moment later.

"Finally, we can set off," Morosa sighed with relief when he saw Moyu Qingyan and his wife approaching.

He had been longing to enjoy some delicacies.

"Second master, let’s go," Moyu Qingyan approached.

Morosa nodded and with a wave of his hand conjured a Flying Boat. Morosa, Moyu Qingyan, his wife, and their servants all entered the Flying Boat.

Soon, the Flying Boat broke through the skies and disappeared.

The Moyu family members watched from afar, as the distance between Huyang City and Xiangjie City was too vast; under normal circumstances, they rarely met.

"My uncle is quite generous. The resources he gives when he returns are much more than what my granduncle and his generation received," Moyu Feng Qiu thought to himself. Although his mother was strict, as the only child of Moyu Liuxing, he was naturally favored within the Moyu family and was undoubtedly a person of power within Huyang City.

However, with Deputy City Lord Luo’s temperament, the descendants of the Moyu and Moli families, both deputy city lord families, had to keep a low profile and be very careful.

"I’m most at ease when Moyu Hu handles matters."

Luo Feng’s avatar within the city owner’s mansion also watched this scene. "Moyu Liefeng is also not bad, but the later descendants of the Moyu family... are rather mediocre."

When the Heartshadow Sect wreaked havoc, Moyu Liuxing died.

Luo Feng had considered, if Moyu Liuxing’s child, ’Moyu Feng Qiu,’ had a good disposition, he could be nurtured to an extent. But with Luo Feng’s capability to observe the entire city with a thought, having watched over time, he had given up on nurturing him.

...

Morosa, escorting Moyu Qingyan and his wife, traveled from Yu Kingdom’s Huyang City to Flame Wind Ancient Country, first stopping in Chu Capital before continuing to the border city, ’Xiangjie City.’

In Chu Capital, inside Luo Feng’s Cave Dwelling’s Quiet Room in the Star Tower.

Morosa, as a Sector Beast, had the ability to create avatars since he was weak, which was one of his innate talents. At this moment, his true body remained inside the Star Tower, focused on digesting the corpse of a Godly King Level.

"Master, master." Not long after digesting, Morosa immediately called upon his master.

"What’s wrong?" Luo Feng arrived at the space within the Star Tower that was exclusively for Morosa.

"That Godly King corpse is very special," Morosa said gravely.

"Isn’t it suitable for devouring and digesting?" asked Luo Feng.

Morosa replied, "This Godly King corpse is greatly beneficial to me, but the essence of this corpse... it absolutely could not have been cultivated by someone at the First Realm of Godly King."

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

"While I was digesting it, I could clearly perceive that this corpse contained the profound mysteries of both the ’Origin Dao of Matter’ and ’Origin Dao of the Infinite.’ The combination of these two laws cultivated such a physical body. As for the level of mystery, it far surpasses my current realm and definitely is not of the First Realm of Godly King.

It might be of the Second Realm of Godly King, or possibly even the Ultimate Realm of God King."

Luo Feng was startled.

"The Godly King I killed, although his body was tough and difficult to deal with, was judged to be only of a very powerful standard within the First Realm of Godly King. It is still far from the undefeatable level of the First Realm," Luo Feng said.

"This physical body must have been refined by an extremely powerful existence," Morosa said.

"No wonder... no wonder his spiritual will was so weak. His strongest physical body was all due to external help," Luo Feng understood.

The Godly King he had slain should have had a very shallow foundation.

It was only with external help that he had such a powerful physical body and thus, that level of strength.

"A physical body also requires spiritual will to control," Morosa said. "This physical body has great potential, but the deceased Godly King... his spiritual will was relatively weak, only capable of unleashing part of the body’s power. If his spiritual will had been stronger, his power would have probably surged dramatically."

Luo Feng nodded.

"Master, cultivating your own physical body and helping other cultivators to refine theirs are completely different challenges," Morosa said gravely. "I can only rely on the ’Sector’ inherent within my body to naturally give birth to each life. Yet this hidden existence could achieve this step on his own realm... it’s truly terrifying."

Luo Feng nodded.

"We need to be cautious in dealing with this one," Morosa said. "At least for now, we are far from being his match."

From just one corpse, they could see the gap between them.

"I am only at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm, and you are merely at the First Realm of Godly King. Don’t think about opponents; just focus on getting stronger slowly," Luo Feng said.

"Mm." Morosa nodded, a bit shocked by the power of this corpse.

******

Time passed.

Following the death of that Godly King from the Shadow Sky Realm, no news of any Godly King’s death had spread through the Land of Origin, which made Luo Feng and Morosa more certain that this was a servant refined by some terrifying existence.

Afterward, Luo Feng encountered no more trouble! Clearly, the terrifying existence that had refined that physical body had no intention of targeting Luo Feng.

"Compared to the truly pinnacle existences of the Land of Origin, I am still too weak," Luo Feng focused on his cultivation.

The Emperor of Tian Kun from the Shi Kingdom, as a Second Realm of Godly King, was considered an overlord. However, he was far from being a match for the pinnacle existences of Land of Origin. The leaders of the hidden forces in the Land of Origin were each incredibly mysterious and formidable.

Two Realms Palace, Wanfa Tower, Time-Space Lonely Boat—the entities these two ancient countries were wary of, all backed by alien powerhouses. Alien powerhouses only send avatars, and they can never be completely eradicated.

In this encounter with the Shadow Sky Realm, which the two ancient countries did not consider a threat, Luo Feng immediately understood the immeasurable depths hiding behind it when they dispatched Emperor-level combat power.

"I, a little guy, should keep accumulating slowly."

After consuming the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and Clearing Spirit Liquid, Luo Feng primarily contemplated the ’Ten Directions World Form.’ Only when fatigued would he study the Calamity Beast Diagram, to deal with some spiritual beings in Infinite Space.

In Infinite Space, he exchanged four Special Grade Inheritances, of course, all just parts from the First Realm of Godly King.

It broadened Luo Feng’s horizons considerably and made him acutely aware of the importance of ’comprehension’ and ’spiritual will’!

Just like Luo Feng’s Transformation Method, if his spiritual will were weaker, the number of Triune Forms he could control would drastically decrease, and his strength would comprehensively decline. Moreover, spiritual will also affects ’comprehension of the Great Dao’ and ’control over the physical body,’ among many other aspects.

"I have a feeling that if I attempt to comprehend the Six Branches of Life, it shouldn’t take too long to achieve breakthroughs," Luo Feng thought during his cultivation, having this premonition.

"But, it’s still not enough!"

"According to the Creator of ’World Life Form,’ one should not deliberately comprehend it; just accumulate to the deepest level, and mastery will come naturally," Luo Feng continued studying the Ten Directions World Form.

The Six Branches of Life and Six Branches of Destruction had both reached the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm over centuries, but their accumulation clearly still had a gap.

Regarding the Six Branches of Destruction, Luo Feng did not feel that just by comprehending, he could make rapid breakthroughs.
