Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 148: Episode 3 Chapter 31 Clone Technique

City Lord of Huang Feng watched the figures in the distance, waiting patiently.

"One Blood Spirit Golden Pearl for ten billion Cosmic Sand? No one will agree to that," the Marquis Mansion 's Lord Yuan Xiu said with a smile.

"Ten billion Cosmic Sand each, I'd be willing to buy a few," a voice came from afar, spoken by a Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm.

Seeing this, the City Lord of Huang Feng was quite disappointed.

This price can't sell it?

Luo Feng, seeing this, was somewhat speechless.

'Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task' was backed by the competition among the seven first-rank Marquis of Emperor Chu's Lineage, who also had various expenditures. Managing to take out several hundred billion Cosmic Sand was already quite impressive.

To exhaust all wealth and buy only three to five pearls? Keep in mind that Great Saint Bi Yun had obtained a total of 25 pearls in the first wave of the battle.

Even buying three to five pearls, the impact was too trivial.

"Transcendents of Primal Chaos Realm, they are summoned by first-rank Marquis," Luo Feng mused, "In the end, it still comes down to the first-rank Marquis making the bids., they can't afford it."

In terms of treasure accumulation, the Transcendents of Primal Chaos Realm naturally far surpassed the first-rank Marquis.

But this was ultimately the Marquis' task, and Transcendents of the Primal Chaos Realm wouldn't spend their own wealth. Figures like Luo Feng, Great Saint Bi Yun, and Lord Yuan Xiu were helping due to their relationships! They didn't even ask for benefits for this task.

"Then, I will lower the price a bit, eighty billion Cosmic Sand each," City Lord of Huang Feng, seeing that he couldn't sell, finally lowered the price.

But no one present was willing to make a bid.

Still too high.

"Sixty billion Cosmic Sand each, my lowest price," City Lord of Huang Feng's voice deepened, then he smiled, "It seems there are some who know the goods, this time Blood Spirit Golden Pearls have all been traded. Want to buy? Wait for the next contention!"

After saying this, the City Lord of Huang Feng had already transformed into a desert wind, disappearing between heaven and earth.

This scene surprised Luo Feng, Lord Yuan Xiu, and others.

"Sold it? Who did he sell it to among the first-rank Marquis?"

"Could it be that he pretended to have sold it?"

"Blood Spirit Golden Pearl, must be delivered to Chu Capital within ten days to complete the task; if over ten days, they will turn into Blood Spirit Poison Pearls. Keeping them has no use, no need to pretend to have sold them."

The Transcendents and Pinnacles of Primal Chaos Realm present all had various speculations, and then they began to leave.

When Luo Feng left, he glanced at Great Saint Yan Su in the distance.

"Humph," Great Saint Yan Su watched Luo Feng with a smirk that was not quite a smile.

It's aimed at you, what of it?

In the Land of Origin, most ancient powerhouses are rule-abiding in their dealings. They do not make enemies lightly, given that they have many concerns too, unless it involves opportunities related to the great laws when they may act recklessly at all costs.

Yet, there are a few powerhouses with no clan or many disciples or subordinates who act without restraint.

Great Saint Yan Su is one such figure who acts without restraint. Of course, in terms of sins, there are many in the Land of Origin with greater sins than his! Great Saint Yan Su is just more willful, and cruelly ruthless in his deeds, but he does not engage in large-scale slaughters.

In terms of notorious reputation, he is far less than the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm and even less than the Master of the Shi Kingdom who exterminated multiple Divine Kingdoms.

...

Luo Feng hurried back to Chu Capital at the first opportunity, as the Blood Spirit Star, after its eruption, would need to wait a long time before entering the next wave of eruptions. One Era, totaling only two to three waves of eruptions.

"Phew." Luo Feng arrived at Marquis Mansion of Chu Yu.

"Brother Luo He," the Divine Power Incarnation of Marquis Chu Yu came to greet Luo Feng, "My true body is currently on a mission."

"This heavenly task has three subtasks, the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task is just one of them. Your own task… is of even greater importance," Luo Feng said, as he took out the nine Blood Spirit Golden Pearls, "The first wave of the Blood Spirit Star's eruption just happened, and I managed to obtain nine Blood Spirit Golden Pearls."

"I heard Lord Yuan Xiu only got three," Marquis Chu Yu received the detailed information right away.

After all, several Transcendents of Primal Chaos had clashed, and some Pinnacles of Primal Chaos had watched, information traveled fastest to Flame Wind Pavilion.

"That Great Saint Yan Su is somewhat strange," Luo Feng said, "I don't know him at all, but this time... he went all out exclusively against me. Brother Chu Yu, does he have a grudge against you?"

"No."

Marquis Chu Yu shook his head continuously, "I am just a newly-promoted first-rank Marquis, before this, I was merely an eternal true god. How could I possibly have made an enemy of a Transcendent of the Primal Chaos Realm, 'Great Saint Yan Su'?"

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

"It's good then that you and he have no enmity; it seems, it was because of me," Luo Feng said.

"Brother Luo He, just do your best in contending for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls; don't force it," Marquis Chu Yu laughed, "After all, I am the youngest among the seven first-rank Marquis, and a freshly advanced one at that. It doesn't matter much if my ranking is low."

Luo Feng looked at him, "Regardless, you need to strive hard in your own two subtasks."

"Of course," Marquis Chu Yu nodded.

"I'm off," Luo Feng turned and left.

Since he had taken on the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task, he would naturally take it seriously.

Phew.

Marquis Chu Yu watched Luo Feng leaving.

"The temperament of Brother Luo He..." Marquis Chu Yu had understood Luo Feng's temperament while in Huyang City, a personality that greatly values righteousness.

"My first guest elder's position, I will invite Brother Luo He. It was my luckiest decision," Marquis Chu Yu felt quite fortunate at this moment.

...

Luo Feng left the Marquis Mansion of Chu Yu and also bought a sufficiently detailed report on 'Great Saint Yan Su' through Flame Wind Association's Dark Hall.

Phew.

As he set out on his return journey, Luo Feng was also studying the intelligence on Great Saint Yan Su.

"We are strangers, yet he targets me so specifically," Luo Feng muttered as he carefully analyzed the information.

He didn't believe in hostility without reason. At the level of Transcendence of the Primal Chaos Realm, one would not make enemies lightly.

"Great Saint Yan Su's clone technique…"

Luo Feng looked at the record in the intelligence, feeling somewhat headache.

Chapter Enjoy:

The clone technique practiced by Great Saint Yan Su allowed him to possess two complete avatars and seven weaker ones! The complete avatars maintained peak condition in both godly body and soul.

"His technique gives him an advantage over my 'Eight Tribulations Life Form' clone technique," Luo Feng quietly reflected.

Although they are both called clone techniques, the differences were significant.

In the 'Level 8 Life Form' from the Lineage of Life Spirituality, if the clone technique was practiced, one's own power must have sufficient life spirituality to exist independently. By parting a portion of one's Divine Power, an avatar could be formed.

Even hundreds or thousands of avatars were a simple matter.

But the power of all avatars, when combined, was only the complete whole!

Every avatar created weakened oneself.

"The clone technique of the Lineage of Life Spirituality, the power still remains one complete whole, not a bit more," Luo Feng thought. "However, Great Saint Yan Su's clone technique results in an extra complete avatar on top of the original True Body. It's as if his Divine Power has doubled! And he's cultivated an additional soul! Apart from the complete avatars, he also has seven weaker avatars."

Luo Feng silently marveled.

Of course, he was still very content, for most of the nine Origin Great Daos under the supreme rules, cannot practice clone techniques.

In terms of clone techniques, surpassing the 'Great Dao of Life Origin', according to Luo Feng's knowledge, only the 'Time Primordial Dao' and the 'Origin Dao of Space' were capable.

The Time Primordial Dao, it is said, could cultivate avatars that existed independently in the past, present, and future. Naturally mysterious and immensely powerful.

The Origin Dao of Space could break certain restrictions of the Braided Cage, possessing several complete avatars. Having two complete avatars like Great Saint Yan Su was merely considered a beginner level.

"Yan Su is currently tasked with garrisoning the border city 'Xiangjie City', and he must have one complete avatar there," Luo Feng thought, "The ones participating in the struggle for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls must be another complete avatar and possibly several weaker avatars."

The more Luo Feng understood Yan Su, the more he realized he was helpless against him.

Yan Su had some servants and two disciples, and he did not care about the life and death of his disciples; his disciples had died more than once.

For Yan Su, only cultivation was the most important thing; nothing else mattered.

...

The City Lord of Desert Wind City came alone to a dark forest.

"I didn't expect that I couldn't sell even one Blood Spirit Golden Pearl," sighed the City Lord of Desert Wind.

"I told you, I am willing to buy all of them for thirty billion Cosmic Sand each, which is already a high price," said a figure formed from the invisible forces of heaven and earth, smiling at the City Lord of Desert Wind.

The City Lord of Desert Wind nodded and with a wave of his hand, he took out the twelve Blood Spirit Golden Pearls he had acquired.

"Here you go," the City Lord of Desert Wind handed them all to the other party.

"Old rules, within the time limit of the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl mission, no matter how many Blood Spirit Golden Pearls you get, I will buy them all at the price of thirty billion Cosmic Sand each," said the ethereal figure with a smile.

The City Lord of Desert Wind's participation in the struggle was at his request.

The City Lord of Desert Wind's external sale of the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls was allowed, but they had to be sold at double the price! Thus, the City Lord of Desert Wind had to sell them for at least sixty billion Cosmic Sand each...

Just as this ancient existence had expected, he couldn't sell them at all.

"The Imperial Clan and nobles of the Flame Wind Ancient Country are too stingy," the City Lord of Desert Wind lamented, having openly set his price but unable to sell even one.

"I have been very generous," said the ethereal figure with a laugh, and then vanished silently.

The City Lord of Desert Wind watched this scene.

"This old fellow, no idea who he is," the City Lord of Desert Wind muttered to himself and then traversed the Void to leave.

******

Luo Feng returned to the cave mansion not far from Blood Spirit Star, his Divine Power Incarnation still quietly cultivating in the pavilion to keep an eye on Blood Spirit Star, while Luo Feng's True Body was practicing in the space of the Star Tower.

"Three-in-one form, with my level of understanding, it's indeed very challenging."

Luo Feng watched the dispersal of the particles of the three-in-one form and the ten-directional world form in front of him, revealing the laws, feeling still puzzled.

Considering the accumulation, both the Lineage of Life Spirituality and the Body of Life Lineage were at the pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm! To go higher? That would be to become a Godly King. He also had materials from the golden scale beetle and various perfect Primal Chaos Layer creatures for reference.

Despite such deep accumulation, he still had confusions.

"This competition for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls also pointed out many of my weaknesses," Luo Feng admitted.

In terms of strength, the City Lord of Desert Wind was comparable to him.

In terms of various moves, Great Saint Bi Yun was clearly superior! He couldn't even be sure of Great Saint Bi Yun's true body, yet Bi Yun could strike easily.

"With such strength, in the second wave of the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl struggle, I still won't get much."

Luo Feng smiled slightly, taking out a stone box.

He opened the box, which still contained nine pale red fruits.

"At the level of Primal Chaos Realm, I had planned to consume five Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruits. Now at this crucial time," Luo Feng immediately took out one Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and closed the box.

Cultivation was at a bottleneck, and his friend's task was also at a crucial point, so it was essential to use good steel on the blade's edge.

Luo Feng felt that now was indeed the time to strike!

Luo Feng then began to eat the fruit.

The fruit was tough; he chewed and swallowed it bit by bit, feeling the pulp dissolve in his stomach, with energy starting to spread and affect his soul, making his soul more ethereal and his thoughts speed up rapidly.
