Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

"Take it slow, there's no rush," Luo Feng said.

The advantage of a Perfect Life Form is indeed considerable, and that's just for a Primal Chaos Realm Sector Beast. What about at the Godly King Tier? How terrifying would it be? It's feared that with one breath, Huyang City would be reduced to ashes.

No wonder the Pinnacle Sector Beasts have such strong deterrence in the Land of Origin, enabling Tianmu Kingdom to become a first-rate nation in one go.

It's precisely because of the fear of Pinnacle Sector Beasts that the various forces in the Land of Origin will eliminate all weak Sector Beasts, giving them no chance to grow.

"Even after becoming a Primal Chaos Realm being, outside of the Star Tower, you still must not reveal any Sector Beast abilities," Luo Feng reminded.

"Don't worry, Master, I understand," Morosa nodded. The more he understood, the deeper he realized the waters of the Land of Origin were.

His current target is the Sector Beast from Tianmu Kingdom.

To learn from the senior! To bide one's time until the pinnacle!

Fortunately, his master is also a Perfect Life Form. Believing that they would be stronger together in the future than the 'Purple Wood Godly King and Sector Beast' union of Tianmu Kingdom.

"Master, before Xue Yun's death, his bloodline had completely transformed." Morosa explained, "By absorbing his godly body, I've also grasped more of the power of the destruction origin. Would you like me to show it to you now?"

"Sure," Luo Feng nodded, "Show me."

Whether it's the Destruction Refinement Method or the Integration of Life and Death, Luo Feng attaches great importance to the destruction origin.

With just a thought from Morosa, the profound mysteries of the destruction origin unfolded before him. After seeing the complete picture of the Great Dao of Life Origin, what Morosa showed was something Luo Feng could now watch calmly.

After all, in terms of power and level, what Morosa showed was far too weak.

"Hmm?" As Luo Feng watched, he became absorbed in it.

The Great Dao of Destruction Origin that Morosa displayed might be limited, but it also included the complete Primal Chaos Laws and some shallow-level mysteries of the destruction origin. These shallow levels, which came naturally with Morosa's ascent to the Primal Chaos Realm, far surpassed Luo Feng's current tier.

Despite the Great Dao of Life Origin being quite complete, Luo Feng's realm is too low, and he needs to carefully select and selectively absorb insights, fearing contamination and distortion of his own path of cultivation.

The mysteries of the destruction origin shown by Morosa might be weaker, but they are still a full tier higher than Luo Feng's, making them incredibly suitable for Luo Feng to grasp! No need for selection, just comprehension without fear of twisted understanding.

"Morosa, your progress is substantial. The mysteries of the destruction origin you have shown are much stronger than before," Luo Feng said as he contemplated, offering praise.

"I am now of the Primal Chaos Realm; my comprehension of the destruction origin is naturally higher," Morosa eagerly demonstrated his grasp of the destruction origin, also hoping his master would grow quickly.

Luo Feng contemplated for a day, then stood up: "Morosa, continue your cultivation at your own pace."

"After only one day, you're not watching anymore?" Morosa felt one day was too short; in the past, contemplating for dozens of days or even longer was quite normal.

"No need for now," Luo Feng had already returned to his own space in the Star Tower.

...

Sitting cross-legged, Luo Feng's mere day of observing the destruction origin was because a spark of inspiration emerged in his mind.

"Destruction origin... Life Origin..." Luo Feng had watched the Great Dao of Life Origin many times and now, after viewing a lot of destruction origin information, the understanding of the two Great Daos naturally corroborated each other.

As time passed by day by day.

The insights continually fused, and that spark in Luo Feng's mind became clearer.

The world of cultivation is full of endless possibilities and temptations! A so-called opportunity might attract cultivators to another path, or they might be trapped at a bottleneck, unable to break through in their lifetime.

The path of cultivation is like advancing through a fog!

You wouldn't know you've taken a wrong turn even if you had.

"I understand now." Luo Feng faintly saw a blurred path appear amidst the fog of cultivation.

The Great Dao of Life Origin and the Great Dao of Destruction Origin are utterly different paths, yet Luo Feng grasped the slight connection between them, forming this vague path.

This path is destined to be difficult.

After all, merging the two Great Daos is bound to be challenging.

"Life and destruction should be one and the same!" Luo Feng said softly, the words uttered within the confinement of the Star Tower bearing an unwavering resolve, coming from the depths of his heart.

"Without life, everything is but dead matter, what point then would destruction serve?"

"With the concept of life, the notion of destruction becomes meaningful."

"As a living being, the stronger I am, the more powerful my destructive force can be. They naturally complement each other!"

At this moment, Luo Feng felt that a pure Life Origin was too fragile, lacking the necessary aggression and deterrence to protect life.

The path of pure destruction origin is too extreme.

To pursue destruction single-mindedly, like the Sector Beasts, is to naturally invite pursuit and interception from all quarters!

Like the Sector Beast of Tianmu Kingdom, which now has an owner and no longer works solely towards 'destruction,' it has become tolerable to the various forces of the Land of Origin.

"Pure destruction is not the right approach. Even as I follow the Dao of Destruction, I do so for the lives that matter to me, for those I wish to protect in my heart."

"Destruction is for the sake of life."

"At least, that's how I see it."

Luo Feng felt that life and destruction were two origin great daos that could perfectly integrate. He faced a vast comprehension of the 'Great Dao of Life Origin' and observed the many insights into the destruction origin demonstrated by Morosa; the combination came naturally.

With new understandings rising in his mind, Luo Feng felt his heart brimming with joy.

There is an old Earth saying in our hometown, "Hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening without regret."

The joy one feels when seeing one's own 'Dao' is a joy that spreads through the entire soul.

It is the path one has chosen with certainty and the path one delights in from the heart.

"The path I shall take is one that combines the origins of life and destruction, which may be called 'Dao of Life and Death.' I hope that one day I may be worthy to be referred to as the 'Great Dao of Life and Death,'" Luo Feng thought.

With many insights blossoming in his heart, Luo Feng naturally extended his hand, his fingertips lightly tracing a path that made visible spatial scars within the space of the Star Tower.

This one stroke!

It was like cleaving an ox with a chef's knife or opening up the void with a blade.

It was as though a paintbrush was making strokes across the sky and earth, leaving traces imprinted on the void.

It contained an incomparable sharpness; Luo Feng had not even ignited his godly body but merely traced with his finger, and it was enough to rival the full-power strike he used against Xue Yun while burning Divine Power.

It also contained Luo Feng's spiritual will, what he cared about the most on his journey of cultivation were those he needed to protect, his own family, his own people. After coming to the Land of Origin, he was cautious because if he were to die, without him, the countless humans in his tiny cosmos wouldn't survive. Without him, what would become of his family, the fate of his human race?

The talent of a Primordial Ancestor is good, but having arrived at the Land of Origin, he had yet to become an eternal true god. This shows that talent pales in comparison to personal effort.

To protect his family and the human race, the best way is to rely on oneself.

"This is my Dao," Luo Feng said as he looked at the traces in the half-sky.

Luo Feng was very pleased; he had found his Dao.

As many cultivators grow stronger, they generally choose to focus on one Origin Great Dao for their cultivation.

But Luo Feng, before reaching the Primal Chaos Realm, chose from his heart a path that merged two daos, believing that 'pure destruction origin' and 'pure life origin' didn't align with his true nature.

"In terms of realm, this move can be considered a Primal Chaos Realm technique; it's also the first Primal Chaos Realm technique I've realized," Luo Feng casually made another slight movement, causing spatial scars to appear in the usually stable space of the Star Tower, "This move shall be called 'Heart Honing.' The path of cultivation is arduous, and I hope that after enduring a thousand trials and tribulations, I can still remain true to my original intent."

Luo Feng was also reminding himself.

For he had seen many powerful beings change themselves along with their cultivation; there were many in his original Primordial Cosmos and on the Land of Origin. Take Xue Yun, for instance, who once had a loved one but, in the end, was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of becoming stronger.

"Cultivation is also about honing the heart," Luo Feng seated himself cross-legged and began to focus on his cultivation again.

The insights of the Life Origin and the Destruction Origin were still gradually merging, and Luo Feng was very clear that he was still weak and needed to move forward with devotion and step by step.

Just regarding the realm, with only one realized Primal Chaos Realm technique, he still had a gap compared to the former Xue Yun.

A nine-layered tower starts from the accumulation of soil.

A thousand-mile journey begins under one's feet.

...

At the mansion of the Lord of Huyang City, an armor-clad woman with hundreds of braids led a group of guards and was respectfully welcomed by the leaders of the Five Great Families.

"Your Highness," the five leaders looked at the armor-clad woman respectfully.

The armor-clad woman stood there, with waves of water surging around her, emanating an intangible yet terrifying might.

She was 'Yushui Tianyu,' one of the thirty-five children of the Monarch of the Yu Country and was quite outstanding among them.

The armor-clad woman laughed heartily, her voice hearty: "I heard from Father King that Huyang produced a very remarkable eternal true god named Luo He, with strength even better than Yong Hu's, right?"

The Lord of Huyang City replied respectfully, "In terms of strength, among the eternal true gods of the Yu Kingdom, there are very few who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Luo He. Probably none are stronger."

"Then I've come to the right place," the armor-clad woman nodded with satisfaction, "It's no wonder Father King has put so much thought into arranging an opportunity for him. He might even become my senior apprentice brother."

"The Monarch intends to take him as a disciple?" The leader of the Wu Clan, 'Wu Qulou,' asked.

"That's not so easy. Even with high talent, one must go through trials to have the hope of becoming Father King's disciple," the armor-clad woman said, "Alright, hurry up and arrange for me to meet this Lord Luo He immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness," the leaders of the Five Great Families responded respectfully.
