Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

“Help me thank Divine Emperor Yu He.” Luo Feng sent a message. He now also knew the intelligence on all the peak-level powerhouses in the Dark Sacred Realm. After all, there were barely over a thousand known, and Divine Emperor Yu He was one of them.

“By the way, Brother Luo Feng,” Divine Emperor Bo Xiu reminded, “Weren’t you planning to purchase powerful Life and Death type secret treasures at a high price? I’ve released the news, and now it’s confirmed that there are five Divine Emperors in Chengfeng City willing to sell Life and Death type secret treasures. They can come to visit anytime. Why not summon them when you see Divine Emperor Yu He?”

“Alright, thank you, Brother Bo Xiu.” Luo Feng was quite tempted.

Relying solely on the Undying Heart and Palm World, his combat methods were still too simple. If he had a few more powerful secret treasures, merely coordinating them could enhance his strength.

Moreover, these secret treasures contained higher-level mysteries, beneficial for cultivation.

“It’s a small matter.”

Bo Xiu didn’t mind at all. His team of three had gone to Yulan City and chatted with Master Yuan Xiang! So they knew Luo Feng very well, aware that he had grown to this stage in an extremely short time! The three of them had secretly agreed to follow Divine Emperor Luo Feng for some time.

As long as Divine Emperor Luo Feng hadn’t escaped the Braided Cage, they were patient to follow!

They hadn’t shared any of Luo Feng’s information, and Master Yuan Xiang, who had completely returned to the Source World, hadn’t spread the news either.

******

In the edge area of Chengfeng City, within a small cave mansion, a man in a light white robe, ‘Divine Emperor Ji Xiu,’ received the news.

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor summons? Wants to buy my Life and Death type secret treasure?” Ji Xiu showed a look of joy.

Hoo.

He dared not hesitate and immediately left the small cave mansion.

Ji Xiu looked up at the sky, where black snowflakes drifted and scattered, chilling to the bone. But at this moment, Ji Xiu was filled with excitement and joy: “Finally met a peak existence, willing to purchase my Life and Death type secret treasure. Perhaps, I can make a hefty profit from this!”

The price of such powerful secret treasures varied depending on the buyer. Late-stage Divine Emperor Realm, Half Primordial Daoist Level, and peak-level existences all offered significantly different prices.

Late-stage Divine Emperor Realm dabblers typically started negotiating at twenty to thirty billion Primordial Crystals, with small increments. There’s no choice; they were too poor! A few tens of billions of Primordial Crystals would already exhaust all their accumulations. Even the leading figures who mastered two paths of late-stage Divine Emperor, like the Insect Nest Master… they would have to carefully calculate for tens of billions of Primordial Crystals!

For Half Primordial Enlightened like Master Wei Yang and Master Gai Tao, after accumulating over long years, they might have several hundred billion Primordial Crystals. They obviously calculated carefully the price of a powerful secret treasure.

Only peak-level existences could be more ‘generous.’ When facing a needed secret treasure, they were willing to offer enough premium.

“Hope this so-called high-priced purchase from Luo Feng Divine Emperor could offer more,” Ji Xiu thought.

Even a slip through Luo Feng Divine Emperor’s fingers.

Might just be all the accumulations Ji Xiu had worked hard for countless eras.

“Hoo.”

Ji Xiu flew through a world where black ice-snow scattered, finally reaching the core area of Chengfeng City, where each cave mansion was much larger, with terrifying formations arranged.

“Hurry inside; you’re the last to arrive.”

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor is meeting with Divine Emperor Yu He; you five wait here for a while.”

Arriving at Divine Emperor Bo Xiu’s cave mansion, Ji Xiu was led by a Puppet Servant to a side hall, where the other Divine Emperors were gathered.

Ji Xiu glanced around.

Among the waiting five Divine Emperors, three were of ‘late-stage Divine Emperor Realm,’ and two were of ‘Half Primordial Daoist Level.’ At the moment, all were waiting patiently, showing no signs of impatience.

…

Luo Feng was currently entertaining Divine Emperor Yu He.

Divine Emperor Yu He had black feathers all over and a bird’s head!

The Cultivator Camp could have diverse races, but they generally liked to transform into forms similar to ‘Senior Yuan,’ while maintaining their racial form like Divine Emperor Yu He was rare.

“This World Origin Bead is also my spoils of war, unused in my hands for billions of eras. Now Brother Luo Feng needs it… seems it’s destined for Brother Luo Feng,” Divine Emperor Yu He smiled with his pointed beak, also observing Luo Feng closely.

Although the peak existences of Chengfeng City knew less about Luo Feng compared to Master Yuan Xiang and Divine Emperor Bo Xiu and their group.

They could confirm one thing—

Luo Feng was already a peak-level existence even before coming to the Dark Sacred Realm! Just this alone was enough to make other peak-level existences wary. They naturally lowered their stance when facing Luo Feng.

Only the City Lord’s faction, the Secret Ruins Divine Emperor’s faction, and the Eight Companions of the Heavenly Wolf, the three strongest forces in the city, had enough confidence when facing Luo Feng!

“Thank you, Brother Yu He,” Luo Feng smiled, “I now need this World Origin Bead for my cultivation.”

Luo Feng and Divine Emperor Yu He casually chatted, accompanied by Bo Xiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zhen.

“Brother Luo Feng has other guests, so I won’t disturb any longer.” This time, Divine Emperor Yu He intended to show goodwill to Luo Feng, building some relations, and after a brief chat, he took the opportunity to bid farewell.

Luo Feng also got up to see him off.

“Divine Emperor Yu He cultivates the paths of death and destruction! Infamously fierce, I’ve never seen him so amiable,” the red-robed young Chi Zhen said with a smile after the other had left.

“There aren’t many in Chengfeng City who can suppress his ferocity! Brother Luo Feng is naturally one of them.” Bo Xiu also smiled.

“Let the other five guests come over as well,” said Luo Feng.

Soon, all five guests arrived.

“Greetings to Luo Feng Divine Emperor, greetings to all Divine Emperors.” As they arrived, they all felt the pressure.

The three of Bo Xiu were peak existences in Chengfeng City, with inherently high status. They were seated on the side, yet Luo Feng sat at the main seat, clearly indicating the difference in status.

“You plan to sell the Life and Death type secret treasures?” Luo Feng smiled, “Show them to me; I’ll give a suitable high price. If you want to sell, you can sell; if not, you can leave.”

“Yes.”

The five took out the secret treasures they had prepared.

To cultivate to such strength, they each had fortuitous encounters, obtaining some powerful secret treasures. But not every powerful secret treasure suited them.

Even if a Secret Treasure suits oneself, sometimes it is necessary to exchange ‘world-level life materials’ and ‘powerful Secret Treasures’ for resources! Primogenitor Yan Feng and Thunder Ancestor have done such things, with no other choice, as they are quite impoverished in the Dark Sacred Realm. Earning resources by risking one’s life is too difficult.

Luo Feng looked at the five treasures in front of him.

A pill furnace, a formation diagram, a big axe, a long spear, and a painting.

“Buzz.”

Luo Feng’s thoughts penetrated, beginning to inspect these five Secret Treasures one by one.

These Secret Treasures primarily combine ‘life’ and ‘destruction’ but also mix in other mystical elements.

“For this pill furnace, I’ll offer 20 billion Primordial Crystals. For the other four, I’ll each offer 10 billion Primordial Crystals,” Luo Feng spoke, “You can decide whether to sell.”

All five Divine Emperors revealed expressions of joy upon hearing this.

“We are willing.”

“We naturally are willing.”

All five were very satisfied with these prices. For powerful Secret Treasures that ordinarily sold for only 3 to 5 billion, Luo Feng offered 10 billion. For the pill furnace that’s typically worth close to 10 billion Primordial Crystals, Luo Feng’s bid was 20 billion.

Actually, even those at the peak level wouldn’t usually be so generous! Luo Feng, after all, made over 70 trillion Primordial Crystals in one go, and his strength allows him to easily hunt some low-level Primordial lifeforms in the wild, giving him the capability to offer such high premiums.

“This Luo Feng Divine Emperor is not ordinarily generous.” At this moment, Divine Emperor Ji Xiu was also very excited. The long spear of his had been offered to other cultivators several times at prices generally around 3 to 4 billion, and he always refrained from selling.

This time Luo Feng Divine Emperor purchased it for 10 billion Primordial Crystals, a premium that was so high, Ji Xiu Divine Emperor couldn’t earn this much even after endless ages of risking life and limb in the Dark Sacred Realm.

Soon, the transaction was completed.

…

In the Quiet Room.

Luo Feng looked at the powerful Secret Treasures laid out in front of him with great satisfaction. He was well aware that without enough premium, these powerful Secret Treasures, which are unique, often required significant effort to negotiate for and might still be unattainable.

Doubling the offer! That was enough. If the seller remained greedy? Luo Feng would just kick them out.

Although he liked these powerful Secret Treasures, as their numbers grew, one more or less made little difference.

“With these five Secret Treasures, combined with the ‘Undying Heart’ and ‘Palm World,’ my strength will increase considerably.” Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction, although among these Secret Treasures, he valued the Undying Heart the most.

This was exchanged from the Infinite Space and possessed the strongest life-preserving abilities.

Sigh.

With a flick of his hand, he stored away these powerful Secret Treasures, and Luo Feng took out the World Origin Bead. This black World Origin Bead faintly glowed with a bit of purple light. Luo Feng’s force penetrated this World Origin Bead, allowing it to be easily refined.

“What a magnificent World Origin Bead, no wonder it can assist in opening a miniature source world within and even act as the origin of the miniature source world within; the energy is indeed ample.” Luo Feng was very satisfied.

After refining the World Origin Bead, its power easily transformed into his own energy.

Rumble~~~~

The transformation lasted for three days.

Luo Feng’s physical body’s energy reserve soared to a million-fold.

“A million-fold Perfect Divine Body reserve! I now find it exhausting to control such a physical body, though a smile lingered on his face, “Just right to attempt some mysteries of the mind consciousness system.”

Time passed.

Luo Feng continued to consume various auxiliary treasures, maintaining his thought speed at generally over a hundredfold! His mind consciousness system was also slowly forming over time.

…

In the blink of an eye, over a thousand eras had passed.

Within Chengfeng City, some factions were initially ready to cause trouble, hoping to ambush Luo Feng when he left Chengfeng City! Alas… Luo Feng had decided to reside within Bo Xiu Divine Emperor’s Cave Mansion, cultivating in seclusion, which thwarted their plans completely.

They understood too, that the wisdom of one who exists at the pinnacle level would not easily give them a chance for plunder.

During these over a thousand eras, Luo Feng also delivered battle merits to the City Lord side twice, all thirty million battle merits had been fully traded.

“Buzz~~~”

In the place where Luo Feng secluded himself, layers of the formation sealed everything, yet this day, the sealing array suddenly opened of its own accord.

The commotion from the formation opening was naturally felt by Bo Xiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zhen.

“Brother Luo Feng has emerged?” The three of them promptly went to greet him.

They saw the familiar black-clad, black-haired man walk out. They were quite familiar with Luo Feng, yet this time when they saw Luo Feng emerging, it was as though an infinite world was pressing towards them.

They even felt a sense of suffocation.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng noticed, immediately realizing the issue, “This time, I exited in full physical form, and the pressure is too strong.” Previously, when exiting to hand over battle merits, it was merely through dispatching an avatar; but this time, he was exiting with his enormous physical body.

With a thought.

His formidable physical body temporarily took refuge within the super Secret Treasure ‘Scroll World’ that he carried, and outside remained only an Avatar with ‘ten thousand times energy reserves’! The oppressive feeling naturally diminished quickly.

Bo Xiu and the other two felt Luo Feng’s pressure swiftly return to normal.

“Brother Luo Feng seems to have gained quite a lot from this time in seclusion,” Bo Xiu laughed as he spoke.

Bai Yin and Chi Zhen also looked at Luo Feng, both secretly startled.

They still clearly remembered the ‘oppressive feeling’ just now. That was a feeling even the two most publicly powerful in the Dark Sacred Realm, ‘Divine Emperor Ji Ke’ and ‘Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch,’ could not bring.

“Indeed, there have been some gains.” Luo Feng smiled slightly, then gently shook his head, “But cultivation truly has many obstacles; I am quite troubled and plan to head to the large Primordial Hall in Primordial City.”
