Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 162: Season 3 Episode 42 Rankings and Penalties (Season Finale) Part 2

Marquis Chu Ying, both individual subtasks ranked first, and the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task ranked second!

Emperor Chu Yu, one individual subtask ranked third and the other fourth, with the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task being absolutely first.

Marquis Chu Feng, one individual subtask ranked second and the other third, with the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task ranking fourth due to the intervention of the Lord of Yuan Xiu Mansion.

These are the top three.

Ranking at the bottom is Marquis Chu Yuan, who due to cultivating the Primordial Bloodline, ranked seventh in both individual subtasks assessing insight and potential! The Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task was zero, leaving him still at the bottom.

In the Flame Wind Ancient Country, it is generally forbidden to cultivate the Primordial Bloodline in the Primal Chaos Realm. Even at the First Realm of Godly King, there are very few who cultivate the Primordial Bloodline. One must pass through numerous trials to qualify for cultivation, the threshold is extremely high.

Because the threshold is extremely high and cultivation must be cautious, no one in Flame Wind Ancient Country who cultivated the Primordial Bloodline has lost control.

This is also a difference between the two ancient countries.

The Flame Wind Ancient Country has always been wary of the Primordial Bloodline, cultivating it cautiously. Even the contemporary emperor 'Emperor Fu' ascended using the Primordial Bloodline without losing control, yet he ultimately chose reincarnation to abandon this path, not relying on any external force and re-ascended as emperor through the path of formations.

From the attitude of the higher-ups, one can see the caution towards the Primordial Bloodline.

The Thunder Ancient Country, on the other hand, fully embraces the Primordial Bloodline, allowing beings in the Primal Chaos Realm to start cultivating it, and Godly Kings can cultivate it even deeper! Mountain sitting guest joined the Thunder Ancient Country because the threshold there is very low.

"Brother Luo He, I'll be going back first," Emperor Chu Yu stood up, "I'll be heading to the Palace of Emperor Chu to receive resources soon."

"Go ahead," Luo Feng smiled.

Emperor Chu Yu left immediately.

******

In a vast world.

A figure sat cross-legged on the ground, the entire world operated with vast different formations interlocking with each other.

"Based on the 'Ten Thousand Formation Map' and 'Primordial Space Fragmented Array Eight Scrolls,' you want to advance further?" This figure pondered when suddenly, a thought transmitted through causality arrived from afar.

"Emperor Fu!" A domineering and unrestrained voice belonged to the first emperor of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, 'Emperor Yan.'

"Brother Emperor Yan, what's the matter?" Emperor Fu asked.

"Guarding the border city 'Xiangjie City' is a task for my Emperor Yan lineage. Initially, I dispatched Yan Su to guard Xiangjie City, and Yan Su has guarded it flawlessly to this day," Emperor Yan's voice came, "But recently, that Luo He directly attacked the border city, killed all avatars of the Guardian General Yan Su inside the city! It even caused a riot of Primordial Bloodline beings."

"Brother Emperor Yan, this was originally a task for your Emperor Yan lineage," Emperor Fu smiled, "I thought you had discussed it with Emperor Chu."

"The entire Imperial Clan was busy with the Heavenly Task until recently, which is why I am only dealing with this matter now," Emperor Yan said, "I believe that attacking the border city Xiangjie City must be severely punished. After all, it suppresses a world portal, a world personally opened by the Ancestor, his painstaking effort."

"I know, it should be severely punished," Emperor Fu said.

"This Luo He has many avatars, ordinary punishment is trivial for him, ineffective for disciplining," Emperor Yan said, "I think, making him guard the 'Lava Old Demon' might be suitable."

Emperor Fu frowned.

The Lava Old Demon, among the Godly King Level Primordial Bloodline beings cultivated by the Ancestor Yan Feng, was an extremely powerful old demon, with strength comparable to the emperors, which is why he was imprisoned separately.

Just considering the Primordial Bloodline, the Lava Old Demon is stronger than the emperors and highly contaminative.

"Guarding the Lava Old Demon, with Luo He's strength, it's easy to be contaminated," Emperor Fu stated.

"The place of imprisonment is still very safe," Emperor Yan said.

"Brother Emperor Yan, I won't lie to you! Half a century ago... Emperor Chu had already spoken to me about this matter," Emperor Fu said, "He said, his direct disciple Luo He made a mistake, he admits it! His punishment must follow the laws of the Flame Wind Ancient Country! If it exceeds the range of the laws, he will defy punishment! Even escalating the matter to the Ancestor!"

"Defy punishment?" Emperor Yan was somewhat shocked.

Emperors, do have the right to defy punishment.

Some decisions made by the reigning emperor can be too much, and other emperors can choose to defy punishment! They could even escalate it to the Ancestor!

"To defy punishment and escalate to the Ancestor for such a trivial matter? This Emperor Chu has always been impulsive," Emperor Yan was quite annoyed.

Emperor Chu never cultivated the Primordial Bloodline, he has been domineering and protective from a young age, never caring about the grand scheme! Always ready to break the sky! But it's also because of this, Emperor Chu's cultivation in the Great Dao of Destruction Origin has been quite smooth.

"Emperor Chu makes a lot of sense, no matter what, we must stay within the legal limits," Emperor Fu stated, "Otherwise, if he really defies punishment, and it escalates to the Ancestor, it won't look good on us."

"Then what do you suggest as punishment?" Emperor Yan felt helpless.

Facing someone who flips the table over trivial disagreement and even defies punishment, what can he do?

"Since Xiangjie City currently has no Guardian General, penalize Luo He to guard it," Emperor Fu stated, "Let him guard for ten thousand eras, and he receives no merit points."

Garrison duty at the border is generally a tough task, typically with high reward in merit points.

As a punishment, naturally, the merit is erased.

"Make it ten thousand eras then," Emperor Yan said.

"Alright, then ten thousand eras," Emperor Fu agreed.

...

Chu Capital, Palace of Emperor Chu.

Luo Feng came here to see his master.

"Your sentence has been delivered, guarding Xiangjie City for ten thousand eras," Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, "Although the punishment is harsh, it is still within legal bounds, considered a normal punishment."

Luo Feng nodded, "Thank you, Master."

Within the normal range of punishment, Luo Feng was not worried.
