Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

When Shi Kingdom's forces were capturing several Formation Masters, they specifically let Shang Tianyan go, which in itself was a statement.

"This Shi Kingdom's forces keep trying to befriend me," Luo Feng thought to himself. Chairman Zan Yun also visited me several times, and this time they let go of Shang Tianyan, clearly placing great importance on me.

But, in the end, I am bound to stand against Shi Kingdom.

In the feud between my master and Shi Kingdom, I would definitely stand by my master, the Mountain Sitting Guest.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Contact me if there's anything you need," Luo Feng said, "If I'm in seclusion and you have an urgent matter, you can contact Luo Sa."

"Alright." Shang Tianyan nodded.

Soon, Luo Feng, accompanied by Morosa, quietly left the Heavenly Flame Sect and headed for the Flame Wind Pavilion.

Whew.

Inside a small building in the Flame Wind Pavilion, the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion personally received Luo Feng.

"Brother Luo He has really stirred up a storm today, forcing the Six Lords Alliance and Cloud Treasure Tower to compensate with a whopping million Cosmic Sand," said the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion, his voice cheerful, "Probably every power within Huyang City is discussing this matter."

"It's a trivial matter," Luo Feng said, "I'm here today to reserve a batch of Artifact Refiner Materials."

"Reserve?" The Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion and the figure in the gray mist, the 'Deputy Pavilion Master,' were somewhat surprised. The Flame Wind Pavilion's inventory was extensive, and they could also transfer goods from other businesses within the city, so reservations were generally unnecessary, as materials could be brought over in just a few words.

Luo Feng nodded and sent a detailed order using the Dark Hall's Transmission Order.

"According to our Flame Wind Pavilion's pricing, such an order would require 3.65 million Cosmic Sand!" the Deputy Pavilion Master said with surprise, "These Artifact Refiner Materials are rarely precious, most are common materials, but the sheer quantity indeed exceeds what the entire Huyang City can mobilize from its stores."

The inventory of Huyang City's many businesses was indeed vast. But Luo Feng only needed a minority of the material types, yet it still amounted to 3.65 million Cosmic Sand.

"How long will it take?" Luo Feng asked.

"Our Flame Wind Pavilion delivers every ten days," the Deputy Pavilion Master explained with a smile, "The next delivery is in two days. It will directly be teleported in space-time to our pavilion."

The Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion also said, "Brother Luo He, your order is special; the volume is too large and not suited for local supplies. Space-time delivery is the most convenient."

"Alright, here are the 3.65 million Cosmic Sand." Luo Feng took out a jade vial he had prepared in advance, thankful he had obtained the funds from the Six Lords Alliance and Cloud Treasure Tower, or else he wouldn't have been able to afford it.

The Deputy Pavilion Master took it and said, "I will personally deliver the materials to Brother Luo He's cave dwelling in two days."

"Thank you, Deputy Pavilion Master," Luo Feng nodded.

An order of a few million Cosmic Sand was nothing significant to the headquarters of the Flame Wind Pavilion, not to mention dealings that reached over a hundred million or even ten billion Cosmic Sand, to them it was all small business.

As the Mountain Sitting Guest was a Godly King skilled in Artifact Refining, naturally, he had some transactions with the Flame Wind Pavilion, dealings on the Godly King level, much larger than what Luo Feng had just placed.

Therefore, Luo Feng was very straightforward with the reservation payment.

After paying, Luo Feng took his leave.

"An Eternal True God, purchasing such a large quantity of Artifact Refiner Materials?" the Deputy Pavilion Master wondered aloud, "Despite being well-experienced, I can't understand what Lord Luo He really wants to do."

The Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion also puzzled, "All these materials piled up would be several times bigger than my Unlimitable Godly Bodies; could it be that he wants to refine a super large Mechanical Stream Secret Treasure?"

"He and Shang Tianyan are close, maybe he's also a master of Artifact Refining, potentially focusing on the path of Artifact Refining to ascend to the Primal Chaos Overlord?" the Deputy Pavilion Master speculated, "Does he need to refine a large number of Secret Treasures to accumulate a foundation?"

Artifact Refining, alchemy, formation, illusion technique... each different path could lead to becoming a Primal Chaos Overlord.

Luo Feng's orders for materials were vast and exceeded by far what any normal body refinement would require, naturally leading to much speculation from the Master and Deputy Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion.

"Marquis Liu Yin of Shi Kingdom sent Yutian Xu and Yutian Yi to Huyang City," the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion stated, "Now in Huyang City, Shi Kingdom has three strong powers gathered: Xue Yun, Yutian Xu, and Yutian Yi. Them being together, they surely won't sit idly; there must be a major plan in motion."

"Capturing eight Formation Masters was just the beginning; the conflicts will only intensify from here," said the Deputy Pavilion Master, "But it's clear, Shi Kingdom's forces are reluctant to provoke Lord Luo River."

"I hope the struggle between Yu Kingdom and Shi Kingdom in Huyang City doesn't destroy it," the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion sighed, "A fight between two powerful nations could cause countless casualties with just a ripple of their conflict."

"The River of Time flows ceaselessly forward," the Deputy Pavilion Master remarked, "every moment countless creatures are born, and countless die. When you step out of the river and stand peacefully on the bank, you see everything."

"Uncle, stop trying to talk like the elders of our clan," the Master of the Flame Wind Pavilion said with a laugh, "You're just an Eternal True God."

The Deputy Pavilion Master made a face and moved aside, continuing to review the pavilion's business.

...

Two days later.

The Deputy Pavilion Master personally visited and delivered the material worth 3.65 million Cosmic Sand.

"Thank you for your efforts, Deputy Pavilion Master," Luo Feng sent him off.

"Lucky there's such a super-sized commercial house as the Flame Wind Pavilion. If we had to rely on those smaller businesses, gathering 3.65 million Cosmic Sand's worth of various materials would probably be a thousand times more troublesome," Luo Feng thought to himself.

The matter of the Flame Wind Pavilion was a piece of cake, but even a small business association would likely struggle with it for an entire era.

Merely the "space-time transport of goods" allowed direct delivery of goods from the Flame Wind Ancient Country to the Huyang branch. This space-time transport was locked to each branch. Only two ancient countries in the Land of Origin had the capability to perform this task.

At that moment, Morosa was teaching Moyu Qingyan to comprehend the laws, when Luo Feng approached.

"Master," both Morosa and Moyu Qingyan greeted respectfully.

"I am preparing for a closed-door meditation for some time," Luo Feng said.

"Closed-door meditation?" Morosa and Moyu Qingyan felt a burst of joy secretly, as it meant they would be free while Luo Feng was in seclusion.

"During my meditation, I will cut off all communications and not allow any disturbances. If there really is something extremely urgent, Luo Sa, then you may notify me," Luo Feng instructed.

"Yes, Master," Morosa replied. He was Luo Feng's spiritual servant, able to communicate through telepathy.

Having said that, Luo Feng entered the underground hall alone, released the Star Tower, entered the tower's space, and began his third session of body refinement.

******

As time passed, the situation within Huyang City became increasingly turbulent, with conflicts erupting continuously. The various forces in Huyang City realized that this time the conflict between the city owner's mansion and Shi Kingdom's forces was different from the past.

One day, Moli Meng personally came outside the main entrance of Luo Feng's cave dwelling.

"Deputy City Lord Moli, as I've said before, the master is in closed-door meditation and is not seeing anyone," Morosa, who had just woken up, said. Now that Moyu Qingyan had gone home, he had to answer the door himself.

"I have something urgent. Is it possible to contact your master?" Moli Meng asked continuously.

"How urgent?" Morosa asked, "Is Shang Tianyan about to die? Is Huyang City going to be destroyed?"

"It's the city owner's mansion that wants to meet Lord Luo He and seek his help," Moli Meng said.

Morosa shook his head repeatedly, "The master has instructed not to disturb him unless it's a matter of utmost urgency."

A request for help from the city owner's mansion? Such a trivial matter, he dared not disturb his master.

Moli Meng looked at Morosa.

Morosa looked innocently at Moli Meng.

"Well," Moli Meng had no other options, as in the case of seclusion, only this servant could contact Lord Luo He. Not even the other servant, Moyu Qingyan, could make contact.

"Just make sure to contact me as soon as your master emerges from seclusion," Moli Meng said.

"You can rest assured on that point. I will immediately inform my master of this matter once he is out of seclusion," Morosa promised.

Moli Meng could only leave helplessly.

…

No matter how tumultuous the outside world was, Luo Feng focused solely on body refinement.

The Primal Chaos Great Strength Diagram's highest level of the Eternal True God tier third body refinement utilized many mysteries of laws, posing an extremely high demand on the cultivator's realms. It was not only body refinement but also a form of cultivation.

Luo Feng also prepared tens of thousands of Cosmic Sand materials as practice.

Once fully prepared, Luo Feng officially began his third body refinement.

Luo Feng's godly body… was akin to a super large Weapon Secret Treasure! The immense power of this super large secret treasure was primarily due to its massive size, and its intricacy was quite ordinary actually.

Now, Luo Feng was like drawing on a needle, further perfecting the entire super big Weapon Secret Treasure, where originally one formation diagram was present, Luo Feng might need to supplement several formation diagrams to make it operate more perfectly.

The process was all clear, but it still required step-by-step patient refinement.

Body refinement was extremely tedious! Mainly because Luo Feng's Perfect Divine Body was so large, the work involved was exponentially more complicated.

Luo Feng continued for over thirty thousand days before it was successfully completed!

A day in the Land of Origin spans about the duration of one Earth year. On Earth, it would equate to over thirty thousand years of continuous body refinement. That was with Luo Feng's strong will and high efficiency, otherwise, it would have taken much longer, showcasing the grand scale of body refinement!

"It's done."

Luo Feng looked at his own godly body. After three rounds of body refinement, in terms of intricacy, it now rivaled some ordinary eternal true god Secret Treasures. But this was a weapon secret treasure that stood 18 billion kilometers tall! With just a clench of his fist, a terrifying aftershock rippled through this space.

"Even without igniting Divine Power, I could easily tear apart a Huyang Legion with my bare hands," Luo Feng reflected inwardly. "Reaching this step has truly unearthed the potential of the Perfect Divine Body at the Eternal True God tier."

As for more powerful body refinement? That would be at the Primal Chaos Realm tier.

This was something that eternal true gods couldn't possibly achieve. They might occasionally realize one or two powerful moves, but Primal Chaos tier body refinement required extremely high realm specifics. Even mastering the Primal Chaos Laws and receiving inheritance necessitated careful contemplation to learn.

"How strong would my godly body be once I use 'Duan Mie' and ignite Divine Power?" Luo Feng wasn't quite sure himself.

Having been on the Land of Origin for over twenty eras, 'Duan Mie' had also progressed significantly.

"Looking at the entire Land of Origin, at the Eternal True God tier, there are likely few who can rival me," Luo Feng thought. There might be some with a higher realm than his, but his advantage in terms of the godly body was indisputable.
