Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin - Chapter 375: Episode 9 - 13 Summoned

Chapter 375: Episode 9 Chapter 13 Summoned

Luo Feng leisurely walked out of the grand Primordial Hall, strolling through the Primordial City.

Observing the cave mansions with various cultural styles, and the cultivators with diverse appearances, most of these cultivators resembled ’human’ forms, yet largely retained some racial traits, with some even presenting in their original racial forms.

“Cultivators emerging from numerous source worlds and countless universes have actions and words imbued with the breath of different civilizations.”

“But they all share a common trait, which is… they are all lives within the Braided Cage!”

Currently, in Luo Feng’s heart, the Half Primordial Life and Death Path has emerged, lacking just a hint of ’inner touch.’”

Along with his study of many ’low-level primordial bloodlines’ and some ’high-level primordial bloodlines,’ Luo Feng’s understanding of these innate primordial lives has also deepened significantly.

“The difference between inside the Braided Cage and outside, is like my homeland, Earth once described, the difference between low dimensions and high dimensions.” Luo Feng felt this explanation was rather accurate.

“Within the Braided Cage, the Half Primordial Life and Death Path is already perfected! Advancing further is impossible.”

“Yet jumping out of the Braided Cage feels like entering a higher dimension. The Life and Death Path can be greatly expanded, its richness can be increased countless times.”

The Half Primordial Life and Death Path is like a drawn person, very exquisite, but the pixels are limited.

The Life and Death Dao at the Primordial Level is the physical body in reality!

They are truly worlds apart.

“The more I know, the more I understand the vast gap between the ’Half Primordial Path’ and the ’Primordial Level Path.’” Luo Feng frowned, “but legend says that a cultivator might hope to ascend in one leap, directly comprehending the Primordial Level Path from the Half Primordial Level, breaking laws with force.”

This is a legend among the cultivators, and the most sought-after desire of countless enlightened ones.

Yet for bloodline cultivators, achieving the ultimate awakening into high-level primordial life is extremely rare! As for ’ascending in one leap, comprehending the Primordial Level Path, breaking laws with force,’ it only exists in legends!

“If the intricacy of the Half Primordial Path is one unit.”

“The Primordial Level Path, at least a million times, even a billion times more!”

“I’ve endured so much hardship cultivating the ’Half Primordial Life and Death Path’ and still lack that hint of inner touch. How can I ascend in one leap and directly comprehend the Primordial Level Path?”

Luo Feng looked up at the sky.

The biomimetic eye of destruction on his brow has become increasingly intricate, able to peer through the membrane wall of the Dark Sacred Realm and glimpse some of the reality of the Infinite Primordial Space.

The Half Primordial Life and Death Path, is within reach. Luo Feng can foresee that it won’t hinder him much longer.

But what about the next step?

“Take one step at a time, walk steadily.” Luo Feng thought as he reached the cave mansions of Bo Xiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zhen.

Bo Xiu and the others sensed Luo Feng approaching through causality and immediately came outside to greet him.

“Congratulations, Brother Luo Feng,” Bo Xiu said with a smile, “After forty-three hundred eras, you’ve finally emerged.”

Luo Feng smiled.

During these forty-three hundred eras, the only time Luo Feng ventured out was when accepting hefty compensation from the Secret Ruins Divine Emperor. The rest was all focused on cultivation.

They led Luo Feng into the cave mansion.

…

The four of them sat separately.

Chi Zhen said, “Brother Luo Feng, during these forty-three hundred eras, cultivators from various places have rushed to the Primordial City, hoping to meet Brother Luo Feng, all seeking some guidance.”

“After reaching the Half Primordial Realm, there’s a sense of no further path,” Bo Xiu sighed, “Many cultivators wish for a bit of guidance from an invincible existence.”

Luo Feng nodded.

He could see the path ahead, but knowing the path ahead is countless times more challenging than the Half Primordial Life and Death Path.

“Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch and Divine Emperor Ji Ke also wish to meet Brother Luo Feng,” Bai Yin Divine Emperor said.

“Oh? Them?” Luo Feng was indeed interested; the depth of their realm might offer him some insight.

“By the way, I asked you to gather life and death secret treasures earlier?” Luo Feng inquired.

Bo Xiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zhen exchanged glances.

“We spread the word that Brother Luo Feng intends to acquire some life and death secret treasures,” Bo Xiu explained, “with Brother Luo Feng’s current fame, many cultivators willing to sell secret treasures are numerous, making it hard to choose the top five. So we decided to wait for Brother Luo Feng to select personally after emerging.”

“Alright.”

Luo Feng nodded, “Then, you select the best 20 items first, and invite those cultivators over! I’ll personally choose a few needed ones.”

Bo Xiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zhen understood.

“I’ll pass the word to those 20 cultivators,” Bo Xiu said. He, as a cultivator of the True Witch Lineage, possessed keen insight! With him selecting, Luo Feng was reassured.

******

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor emerged from the cave mansion.”

“He went to Bo Xiu Divine Emperor’s cave mansion.”

“I can pinpoint his location.”

In Primordial City, figures like Feng Qiao City Lord and other Divine Emperors had seen Luo Feng, able to sense Luo Feng’s location at this moment through causality when Luo Feng didn’t deliberately conceal it.

In an instant, numerous cultivators rushed towards Bo Xiu Divine Emperor’s cave mansion.

“Emerged?”

“Finally emerged!”

Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch and Divine Emperor Ji Ke got the news and also rushed over; they wanted to meet this Luo Feng Divine Emperor.

“Everyone, please take a rest in the garden for now. Luo Feng Divine Emperor needs to see other guests first,” Bo Xiu, Bai Yin, and Chi Zhen all dispatched avatars to personally receive these visitors.

No choice, there were too many visitors! They were too powerful!

Apart from Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch and Divine Emperor Ji Ke, over three hundred peak level existences had arrived! Moreover, many ’half primordial enlightened ones,’ ’half primordial bloodline cultivators,’ have gathered tens of thousands of cultivators, still increasing with time.

Bo Xiu and the others needed to make proper arrangements first.

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor promised, he will definitely see everyone today,” Bo Xiu said.

“No hurry.”

“We waited for forty-three hundred eras, we have enough patience.” Each cultivator was very polite, the temperament of an invincible existence unknown, angering Luo Feng might cause him to leave directly. Meeting him again would be challenging.

…

Deep within the cave mansion.

Luo Feng first summoned twenty cultivators; their powers varied, with the highest reaching peak level, and the lowest at late-stage Divine Emperor enlightened realm.

“Please take out the secret treasures. If I wish to purchase them, I’ll offer a suitable price. You can choose whether to sell or not,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

“I am willing to gift the secret treasure to Luo Feng Divine Emperor,” one cultivator said.

“I am also willing to gift.”

“I am willing too.”

One by one, the cultivators spoke up.

The so-called ’gift’ actually meant that Luo Feng was incurring a debt of causality! If Luo Feng cared particularly about causality, he would undoubtedly pay it back in the future! As Luo Feng’s strength grew, the value of this ’causality’ would rise even higher.

Cultivators who could reach the Dark Sacred Realm were not foolish; they all knew that ’gifting’ was the most profitable.

“No need.” Luo Feng gently shook his head, “I will offer a suitable price.”

At his current level, these life and death secret treasures were merely to broaden his horizons and aid his cultivation; their importance was not that great anymore.

Want to gift it?

Luo Feng would no longer accept gifts lightly.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please bring out your secret treasures for display,” said Bo Xiu Divine Emperor, who stood beside him.

The twenty cultivators, knowing that gifting was not possible, had no choice but to display their treasures one by one.

Luo Feng glanced over them.

His accumulation in life and death was so profound that he instantly determined the value of these twenty life and death secret treasures.

“They’re all either secret treasures refined by beings that broke out of the braided cage or innate secret treasures,” Luo Feng thought, “varying greatly in value.”

“I’ll take these nine.”

Luo Feng selected nine of them and offered prices for each.

As per the usual rules.

The prices were twice the normal level in the Dark Sacred Realm! For Luo Feng, these primordial crystals were already insignificant.

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor is indeed generous.” The cultivators who couldn’t gift their treasures looked pleased upon hearing Luo Feng’s offer. Selling at double the price was already very valuable.

“We agree to sell.”

Eight of the nine secret treasure owners agreed to sell, but one cultivator hesitated.

“Chanfu God Emperor, Luo Feng Divine Emperor has offered you five hundred billion primordial crystals for your treasure, which is more than enough,” Bo Xiu spoke up, “What are you hesitating for?”

“Trading is a free choice,” Luo Feng smiled and said, not minding much.

“My treasure is an innate secret treasure nurtured within a world-level primordial life corpse, exquisitely mysterious, and I believe it’s worth one trillion primordial crystals,” Chanfu God Emperor looked at Luo Feng.

Chanfu God Emperor was a half-primordial Enlightened! Excluding this innate secret treasure from his home world’s source world, his entire accumulation over endless years was just a few hundred billion primordial crystals.

This time, he had thought it through.

Either gift it!

Or seize the opportunity to earn a substantial amount of resources!

“One trillion primordial crystals?” Bo Xiu, Bai Yin, Chi Zhen, and other cultivators were a bit taken aback. Was he bold enough to quote such a high price?

Chanfu God Emperor, however, was somewhat confident, coming from the source world, with an avatar, not too afraid.

“I heard that the Secret Ruins Divine Emperor compensated with seventy-five hundred billion primordial crystals. For this Luo Feng Divine Emperor, one trillion primordial crystals is just a fraction. My innate secret treasure must be highly alluring to the right cultivator,” Chanfu God Emperor thought.

Luo Feng glanced at the golden bone stick in Chanfu God Emperor’s hand.

The golden bone stick, combining the mysteries of life and death, was far superior to the ’palm world’. With one swing, it could determine life and death.

“Then it’s these eight,” Luo Feng gestured, and eight storage bracelets flew to the cultivators, containing primordial crystals at the agreed price, which the eight cultivators joyously accepted.

“Thank you, Luo Feng Divine Emperor.” They were all very satisfied.

Chanfu God Emperor frowned slightly upon seeing this! Did Luo Feng Divine Emperor decide not to buy it just for an extra five hundred billion primordial crystals?

“Bo Xiu, see the guests out.”

Luo Feng instructed.

“Please.” Bo Xiu Divine Emperor immediately saw the cultivators off, leaving Chanfu God Emperor with dissatisfaction; Luo Feng wouldn’t accept a gift nor acknowledge a trillion offer. He had to leave with his treasure.

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor, could you give us some guidance?” one cultivator eagerly asked.

“There are already tens of thousands of cultivators gathered outside. I will meet with all cultivators today and discuss publicly at that time,” Luo Feng said.

The cultivators then smiled in delight and obediently left.

…

The outer garden swelled as tens of thousands of cultivators gathered, still increasing in number. The twenty cultivators selling treasures also arrived here.

“Chanfu God Emperor, you’re too greedy.”

“Luo Feng Divine Emperor is an invincible entity; do you think he really cares about your treasure?”

Some cultivators mocked.

The news of this transaction quickly spread among the cultivators, and Chanfu God Emperor felt something was amiss as he listened to the discussions around him.

“Bang.” Suddenly, a slap landed on Chanfu God Emperor’s shoulder, engulfing his entire body in terrifying power.

Chanfu God Emperor turned his head and saw an elder, dirty and disheveled, with bloodshot eyes brimming with a sinister madness. The elder snickered at Chanfu God Emperor.

“Ji, Ji Ke God Emperor?” Chanfu God Emperor’s heart trembled. Who didn’t know that Ji Ke God Emperor was unpredictably insane?

“Which treasure were you selling to Luo Feng Divine Emperor?” Ji Ke God Emperor asked.

“It’s this one.” Chanfu God Emperor sensed the dangerous and sinister presence of Ji Ke God Emperor and obediently took out the golden bone stick.

“Now it’s mine.”

Ji Ke God Emperor grabbed it.

Chanfu God Emperor didn’t dare to resist, watching as Ji Ke God Emperor took the golden bone stick without even giving a single primordial crystal in return.

“Visiting Luo Feng Divine Emperor, and I just needed a gift,” Ji Ke God Emperor grinned.

Chanfu God Emperor didn’t dare to say a word at this moment.

“Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch, Ji Ke God Emperor,” Bo Xiu called from afar, “Luo Feng Divine Emperor summons both of you.”

Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch and Ji Ke God Emperor immediately followed Bo Xiu inside to visit Luo Feng first.

“Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch and Ji Ke God Emperor are indeed different, being summoned first.”

“After all, they both have deeper accumulations than us.”

Some pinnacle beings remarked.

Among the cultivators, two very inconspicuous and weak ones, Primogenitor Yan Feng and Thunder Ancestor, were in the scene’s lower echelon.

“Luo Feng should know we’ve arrived, but hasn’t summoned us,” Primogenitor Yan Feng and Thunder Ancestor exchanged a glance, knowing that in previous ages, their relationship with Luo Feng was still too shallow.
