Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 125: Episode 3 Chapter 9 Godly King 2nd Realm 'Spiritual Will

Luo Feng looked at the yellow feather inside the jade box, feeling its incredibly sharp edges and the fluctuations of the Void.

Emperor Chu Yu smiled from the side, "This is the Golden Feather Divine Bird under the command of Sky Capital King, naturally born in the Primal Chaos Layer. It was very young when it was born, possessing only the strength of the middle layer of the Primal Chaos Realm.

Over time, after the Sky Capital King meticulously nurtured it with various rare treasures, it grew into its most perfect form, already comparable to the Pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm."

Luo Feng was amazed, "Grown to its most perfect form?"

The Primal Chaos Layer creatures he had captured himself, such as the Silverlight Creatures, were either formed by merging a hundred silver droplets or even a thousand. These were all very young.

According to his own Transformation Method, one hundred eighty billion droplets were the limit for merging Silverlight Creatures.

This Golden Feather Divine Bird, though born with Primal Chaos Realm strength, still had room for growth.

"I conducted a trade with 'Refining Jade City Lord,' the daughter of the Sky Capital King, to obtain this feather of the Golden Feather Divine Bird," said Emperor Chu Yu. "Since it was willingly exchanged, this feather will not self-destruct."

Luo Feng expressed his gratitude, "Brother Chu Yu, this is a great help to me, thank you."

Whether it's cultivators, Exotic Beasts, or other sentient beings from the Primal Chaos Layer with complete consciousness, wanting to study their body materials?

There are only two methods: one, destroy their consciousness and naturally you can study their corpses. Two, if the subject is alive, they must be willing. Otherwise, with just a thought, their blood, feathers will self-destruct and disperse.

The more powerful the life form, the less likely they are to let other powerful beings study their body materials.

"Haha, why should we be so formal with each other?" Emperor Chu Yu smiled lightly, "I'm in my protection period for the first thirty eras of the Primal Chaos Realm, during which both of us can cultivate safely. But once the protection period is over, I might also need your help."

"Anything you need help with, just say the word," Luo Feng said.

"During the protection period, there's nothing much you need to help with, just focus on your cultivation," Emperor Chu Yu laughed heartily, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

Luo Feng promptly escorted Emperor Chu Yu to the entrance of his cave mansion.

Once Emperor Chu Yu had left, Luo Feng immediately went into seclusion again.

Emperor Chu Yu and the conflicts with the other two first-rank marquises were unknown to Luo Feng!

On one hand, since arriving in Chu Capital, Luo Feng hadn't made many friends. The waters of Chu Capital were too deep; the seven first-rank marquises were already the toughest competitors, not to mention the direct disciples of the Emperor and the disciples of other Godly Kings... the factions were overwhelmingly complex.

In the phase where his strength was rapidly increasing, Luo Feng preferred to retreat for cultivation. He was well aware that once his strength was sufficiently strong, the so-called complex situation would quickly become clear.

On the other hand, the core of Emperor Chu's lineage's management of numerous affairs was these seven first-rank marquises. Their conflicts were something the whole of Chu Capital dared not discuss! Those who witnessed the conflict kept their silence out of fear.

Because angering a first-rank marquis could result not only in death, but could potentially bring disaster to one's family and power base behind them.

Moreover, Emperor Chu Yu himself wanted to keep these details confidential, not wanting them to affect Luo Feng. He naturally hoped that Guest Official Luo He would focus solely on his cultivation, the stronger the better.

"Marquis Chu Ji and Marquis Chu Yuan are both at the Pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm! Marquis Chu Ji has two guest elders, Marquis Chu Yuan has one. Between their camps, there are five individuals at the pinnacle tier of the Primal Chaos Realm!" Emperor Chu Yu was well aware of their strength, "Plus some others in the Primal Chaos Realm who follow these two."

The two marquises have allied themselves, making their side the most powerful.

"Although Brother Luo He is also at the Pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm, he is ultimately alone, against their five."

"Moreover, Marquis Chu Yuan, carrying the bloodlines of two ancient imperial clans and is heavily nurtured by the old ancestors, is among us seven first-rank marquises... the most likely to achieve transcendence of the Primal Chaos Realm," Emperor Chu Yu had to admit this point.

Among the seven first-rank marquises, Marquis Chu Yuan is the most reckless and aggressive one, but he is also the most talented and powerful.

At the pinnacle tier of the Primal Chaos Realm, without a significant gap in strength, it's very hard to completely kill an opponent. However, there are still levels of strength; just like how Luo Feng can suppress Marquis Liu Yin.

Marquis Chu Yuan has never encountered an opponent in the pinnacle tier of the Primal Chaos Realm! Even the Godly Emperor ancestor highly appreciates his talents.

"Now, my strength has reached the top of the Primal Chaos Realm," Emperor Chu Yu silently said, "By the end of the protection period, my strength must advance further! Even if I haven't reached the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm... I must make it so that Marquis Chu Yuan can't touch me."

Emperor Chu Yu also had ambitions.

In his youth, he chose the path of unlimited godly bodies! Naturally, he aspired to reach the Godly King Tier.

"Forcing me to concede? Relinquish many resources? Without resources, how can I grow stronger?" Emperor Chu Yu's eyes flashed coldly.

******

Within Luo Feng's cave mansion, in the quiet room of seclusion, within a space inside the Star Tower.

Luo Feng, who was uninvolved in the various powers of Chu Capital and made no friends, focused solely on cultivation.

"This feather?" Luo Feng looked at the yellow feather in front of him, pinching it lightly, pulling at it, "Exceptionally tough, and the edges are like blades."

With a thought, the yellow feather flew out, hovering in midair.

Luo Feng stretched out a finger, the tip barely visible with sharpness.

"Whoosh."

With a gentle wave of his hand.

He sliced off a small tuft of down at the edge of the feather! Luo Feng even felt a bit of resistance.

"In close combat, I am far more formidable than using the Galaxy Transformation Method, yet cutting through the small down still posed some resistance," Luo Feng silently remarked, then gripped that tiny tuft of down and suddenly exerted force.

The terrifying power that transcended the physical realm and reached the zenith of the Primal Chaos Realm burst forth, completely shattering the tiny filament of fur into the most fundamental particles.

"What is this?"

A tiny filament of fur, once shattered, turned into tens of thousands of particles.

"Are these particles as well?" Luo Feng observed with slight confusion, noticing some Law Secret Patterns on the surface of the particles. At first glance, they resembled the particles from other transformation methods like the Galaxy Transformation Method and the Black Abyss Transformation Method, "but the life spirituality feels extremely strong!

It's thousands, even millions of times stronger than the life spirituality of my five transformation methods, representing a qualitative change."

"Why do these particles possess such strong life spirituality?"

"Huh."

Luo Feng lightly waved his hand and split a particle open.

As the particle split, Luo Feng instantly saw clearly.

This particle contained the Law Secret Patterns of Primal Chaos, and inside it even encapsulated two particles that were merging with each other.

"One larger particle encompassing two smaller ones? Are the two smaller particles partially merged?" Luo Feng observed and continued to split the even smaller two particles. As they split, they revealed many law secret patterns, while also completely disintegrating.

"Fusion of Yin-Yang? The Trinity?"

At that moment, Luo Feng understood the basic life structure of this mightiest Primal Chaos Layer Creature and also why this particle could harbor such powerful life spirituality.

"A form embodying Yin-Yang fusion contains endless mysteries, divided into Pure Yin, Pure Yang, and the fusion part of Yin and Yang."

"And the Trinity further complicates the complexity."

Luo Feng cut open another particle to closely observe.

Black and white can be considered Yin-Yang, life and death can be considered Yin-Yang, and matter and energy can also be regarded as a type of Yin-Yang.

Yin and Yang is a state.

Particles from the same origin display different states and yet perfectly merge.

"Regarding the fusion of Yin and Yang, it's documented in the 'Body of Life Chapter' of the First Calamity in 'Eight Tribulations Life Form'." Luo Feng used this inheritance to understand.

The Beginning of Unity, Fusion of Yin-Yang, The Trinity, Ten Directions World... 'Eight Tribulations Life Form', this inheritance, describes various forms of the 'Body of Life.'

"The Trinity is too complex, demanding higher requirements of life spirituality and the body of life. First, try the simpler form of Yin-Yang." After understanding the inheritance, Luo Feng began to refine his transformation methods.

Whoosh.

Divine Power transformed into two droplets joined together.

This combination, however, appeared quite ugly and contained only average life spirituality.

"The Yin-Yang form is about complementing each other." Luo Feng tried again after dispersing the previous attempt.

Time passed.

After numerous attempts, each time learning from the lessons and studying the inheritance further, he also cut open the 'Golden Feather Divine Bird's' particles to observe carefully.

The Golden Feather Divine Bird under the command of Heavenly King could sense its body's material being cut, but as the transaction was legitimate, it could only let everything happen without daring to actively obliterate that one feather.

"Whoosh." Not knowing how many times he had tried, this time Luo Feng waved his hand, and two droplets of silver light combined, yet with a sense of beauty of life, the life spirituality being ten times stronger than before.

"This is the feeling." Luo Feng revealed a surprised expression, immediately changing forms repeatedly.

A single transformation produced millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of droplets...

Luo Feng's soul was mighty now, his spiritual will even stronger, and his transformation methods were executed faster and faster.

Soon, 180 billion droplets of silver light formed, each pair combining.

"Buzz." A contained silverlight galactic river formed, and while it looked ordinary, Luo Feng could feel that his ability to merge his consciousness was much stronger, and its might had increased several times.

"Having been in Chu Capital for so long, my transformation methods have finally undergone a qualitative change." Luo Feng showed pleasure.

"Now, my spiritual will has reached the threshold of the Second Realm of Godly King, and I can also manipulate more Galaxy Blade Light. The overall might of this Galaxy Blade Light compared to when I was in Huyang City should have increased tenfold." Luo Feng was quite happy.

Like the 'spiritual will' in the standard layers of Primal Chaos Realm, it gradually and slowly elevated, only experiencing a qualitative change from the bottleneck of the Primal Chaos Realm to the Godly King Tier.

The spiritual will of a Godly King also progresses gradually, from the First Realm to the Third Realm, all through slow accumulation. This kind of accumulation is very difficult, and even ancient Godly Kings struggle to take even one step further over endless years.

"My spiritual will being able to progress from the First Realm of Godly King to the threshold of the Second Realm, the key factor is the transformation of my life stage," Luo Feng knew this.

When he had been an eternal true god, he already possessed the will of a Godly King.

Upon becoming a being of the Primal Chaos Realm and after the growth of his Perfect Divine Body, his soul became even stronger, naturally resulting in a slight uplift in his spiritual will.

"Unless I elevate my life stage and reach the Godly King Tier, which could aid my spiritual will, otherwise... I will need to slowly accumulate." Luo Feng was well aware how gradual the normal progression and enhancement was.

His spiritual will had been at the pinnacle will of the Primal Chaos Realm in his true god phase. As an eternal true god, by nurturing his godly body and utilizing the Calamity Beast Diagram, he broke through to the will of a Godly King. In the Primal Chaos Realm, he advanced a small step, reaching the threshold of the Second Realm of Godly King.
