Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

For more than one epoch, Luo Feng had focused on cultivation after consuming the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit.

Now that the effects of the fruit had worn off, Luo Feng became more relaxed, visiting Yu Jiufang to enjoy some delicacies and going to the ‘Shallow Whisper Pavilion’ to listen to music and illusions with the Seven Emotions Tempering Heart Technique. Various factions in the Chu Capital also noticed that Luo He the Great Sage was frequently going out.

One day, Luo Feng came alone to the secret hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion in Chu Capital.

“Great Sage Luo He.” The head of the secret hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion personally greeted him. The hall master was a seemingly ordinary woman in a golden robe. Though she concealed her aura, she was actually a peak Chaos Realm being, ‘Marquis Xin Huo.’ It was extremely rare for a non-royal to be conferred the title of marquis in the Ancient Flame Kingdom.

“This is the first time since your arrival in Chu Capital that you’ve come to our Yan Feng Pavilion.” The golden-robed woman smiled and said, “Please, have a seat.”

The two sat opposite each other.

A servant brought out some fine wine and fruits.

“Hall Master Xin Huo.” Luo Feng tasted the wine. “This time, I’ve come to sell some treasures.”

“Oh?” Hall Master Xin Huo smiled. “As a direct disciple of the Emperor, our Yan Feng Pavilion will surely offer the highest price for any items you sell.”

For regular customers, the Yan Feng Pavilion secret hall would offer lower prices to ensure enough profit.

However, the Yan Feng Pavilion was backed by a group of emperors and some Divine Kings of the Ancient Flame Kingdom. As a direct disciple of an emperor, Luo Feng naturally enjoyed special treatment.

“Take a look first.” Luo Feng waved his hand, and the spoils he had obtained from his five-on-one battle were laid out.

There were three terrifying scrolls of formation diagrams, some broken golden rings, three black nails, and a long weapon staff. Luo Feng also took out the blade of Marquis Liu Yin and the double-bladed axe of the Great Sage of the North.

“Hmm?” Hall Master Xin Huo smiled as she saw the weapon staff. She immediately recognized that this was the Divine King’s weapon of Marquis Chu Yuan, which was extremely valuable.

“And this double-bladed axe?” Hall Master Xin Huo’s expression changed slightly.

The death of the Great Sage of the North remained a mystery.

Now seeing the weapon of the Great Sage of the North, Hall Master Xin Huo realized, “It seems Luo He was the one who killed him.”

All transactions in the Yan Feng Pavilion secret hall were recorded and kept strictly confidential. Even as the hall master of the Chu Capital branch, if she leaked information, the Yan Feng Pavilion would severely punish her.

The Yan Feng Pavilion’s operations spanned much of the Origin Continent, so its rules were naturally strict.

“Buzz.” The secret hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion was enveloped in an invisible light, which began appraising the treasures and offering a price.

“Great Sage Luo He is truly formidable.” Hall Master Xin Huo sighed, “The Great Sage of the North was a peak Chaos Realm being, skilled in the Origin Path of Life, with immense life-saving abilities. Yet he still died at your hands.”

Luo Feng smiled but did not deny it.

“We will never leak any information about our customers’ transactions.” Hall Master Xin Huo looked at the items. “These three formation diagrams are quite valuable. The Yan Feng Pavilion secret hall can purchase them for 26 billion Cosmos Sand.”

In truth, the one who most wanted these formation diagrams was their original owner, Great Sage Tianyu. However, after the battle, Great Sage Tianyu had become so impoverished that he couldn’t afford them.

“These golden rings are broken and need repair,” Hall Master Xin Huo continued. “We can only offer thirty percent of their value, so 9 billion Cosmos Sand.”

Luo Feng silently grumbled to himself.

He should have held back a bit during the battle. He had used so much force that the golden rings broke.

“These three black nails can also fetch 9 billion Cosmos Sand.”

“As for the blade and double-bladed axe, together they can be valued at 9 billion Cosmos Sand.”

“Altogether, that makes 53 billion Cosmos Sand,” Hall Master Xin Huo said.

Luo Feng nodded. He had only brought out some of the more important treasures; there were many smaller spoils he hadn’t taken out, as they didn’t add much value.

“As for the most important item, this Divine King’s weapon,” Hall Master Xin Huo pointed to the weapon staff, “This is the Divine King weapon of Marquis Chu Yuan, a first-stage Divine King’s weapon, relatively simple in its creation. According to the Yan Feng Pavilion’s pricing, we can offer at least 50 billion Cosmos Sand.”

Luo Feng knew that even among first-stage Divine King weapons, the value varied. Armor, swords, and staves were valued differently.

Palace-type treasures, like the Star Tower, were worth much more. In critical moments, one could hide inside such treasures to escape. Of course, Luo Feng’s physical body was so powerful that no one had yet forced him to hide inside the Star Tower.

“Even Divine Kings might bid for such weapons,” Hall Master Xin Huo said. “I suggest you consign this staff through the secret hall. Given your status, we’ll only charge a minimal consignment fee of half a percent. The starting price will be 60 billion Cosmos Sand! You’ll definitely make more than selling it outright.”

“Then let’s consign it!” Luo Feng agreed.

“The consignment period can be as short as a day or as long as an epoch.” Hall Master Xin Huo looked at Luo Feng, “How long would you like to consign it?”

“Ten thousand days will do,” Luo Feng replied.

An epoch on the Origin Continent lasted ten billion days, so there was no need for a long consignment period.

Hall Master Xin Huo smiled, “Rest assured, we will inform all our important clients about this consignment.” There weren’t many customers on the Origin Continent who could afford a Divine King’s weapon.

…

The news of the consignment of a Divine King’s weapon was spread to many clients on the Origin Continent. In Chu Capital, it caused a stir, as many knew this was once the weapon of Marquis Chu Yuan.

“He’s consigning my weapon?” Marquis Chu Yuan clenched his wine cup so tightly that it shattered into powder. His eyes flashed with thunder, “That Luo He!!!”

He was furious, but in the last battle, he had been reduced to a liquid form.

Buzz.

Marquis Chu Yuan immediately contacted his most trusted friend, ‘Marquis Chu Ji.’

“Chu Yuan, are you calling about your weapon?” Marquis Chu Ji knew his brother’s temper well.

“Big brother, this is my weapon. If he weren’t consigning it, I wouldn’t mind, but now that it’s being sold publicly… I must buy it back.” Marquis Chu Yuan gritted his teeth, “It would be a disgrace for my weapon to fall into the hands of another cultivator.”

“I’ll help you,” Marquis Chu Ji responded.

“I can only gather 50 billion Cosmos Sand,” Marquis Chu Yuan said. “When the bidding starts, I’ll probably need to borrow some from you.”

“Alright.” Marquis Chu Ji agreed.

Even for a first-class marquis of the royal family, cultivation consumed vast resources. Gathering 50 billion Cosmos Sand had already taken Marquis Chu Yuan much effort. Any more, and he would have to borrow it!

Time passed, day by day.

Chaos Crystals and Chaos Stones could naturally condense in the Chaos Void.

But Cosmos Sand could only be condensed by Divine Kings through cultivation. Each grain of Cosmos Sand contained pure power, with a nascent universe within. Even Divine Kings had to focus on refining it.

Cosmos Sand had many uses. It could be used to refine the bloodline of Eternal True Gods, set up formations, or cultivate rare treasures of heaven and earth…

Its most crucial use was to shatter the Cosmos Sand and observe the essence of its ‘Dao structure.’ Each grain of Cosmos Sand had to contain at least a complete branch of the Dao to form.

Therefore, the value of Cosmos Sand was high. Even Divine Kings would purchase some to cultivate unfamiliar branches of the Dao.

******

In the blink of an eye, the consignment period ended.

Luo Feng returned to the secret hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion, where Hall Master Xin Huo warmly welcomed him: “Great Sage Luo He, the final price for the consignment of your Divine King’s weapon was 70 billion Cosmos Sand. After deducting the half-percent fee, you will receive 66.5 billion Cosmos Sand.”

Luo Feng was quite satisfied. Consigning such a precious weapon had indeed been a smart move.

“Would you like the Cosmos Sand in physical form, or would you prefer to keep it stored with us in the Yan Feng Pavilion?” Hall Master Xin Huo asked.

“Store it for now,” Luo Feng replied. “Also, I need to purchase some biological materials of perfect Chaos-level beings. As long as the material is greater than one-millionth of the body, I’ll pay 10 billion Cosmos Sand for each piece.”

Perfect Chaos-level biological materials were extremely difficult to obtain!

Luo Feng chose the simplest method… an extremely high bounty!

An ordinary Divine King weapon usually started at 50 billion Cosmos Sand!

Offering 10 billion Cosmos Sand just to purchase some biological materials from the Chaos level would surely attract interest.

“I’ve already acquired some material from the ‘Golden Feather Divine Bird,’” Luo Feng said. “I only need one piece from each perfect Chaos-level being. This bounty is limited to ten types of perfect Chaos-level beings.”

“Is there a deadline for the bounty?” Hall Master Xin Huo asked.

“No, the bounty ends once I acquire ten pieces of material,” Luo Feng answered.

Hall Master Xin Huo understood, “The bounty fee is half a percent.”

“That’s fine.”

Luo Feng didn’t mind. Over the past epoch, his ‘Life Spirit branch’ had reached the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm, and both his ‘Life Body branch’ and ‘Life Source branch’ had reached the peak of the Chaos Realm. Yet despite this, his comprehension of the ‘Trinity’ remained filled with confusion as he studied the Golden Feather Divine Bird’s feathers.

A creature like the Golden Feather Divine Bird had average intelligence and could only use rudimentary Chaos Realm techniques, yet it possessed the power of a Chaos Realm peak being. This demonstrated just how terrifying such perfect Chaos-level beings could be when cultivated to their limits.

If his ‘Galaxy Transformation Technique’ could also reach the Trinity level, achieving perfect mastery, a single Galaxy Blade technique could wield the power of a Chaos Realm peak.

Then what would happen if a hundred thousand Galaxy Blades were unleashed, overwhelming everything? Even Chaos Realm Transcendents, and newly ascended Divine Kings, would likely have their divine bodies instantly shattered.

“Raising my Transformation Technique to the level of a perfect Chaos-level being is also a way of utilizing the Origin Path of Life.” Seeing the future prospects of this path, Luo Feng was determined to continue down it.

…

“100 billion Cosmos Sand, just to buy a piece of material from a perfect Chaos-level being?” The Yan Feng Pavilion’s secret hall spread the news to its important clients, and many of them were tempted. Even Chaos Realm Transcendents had to put in considerable effort to earn 100 billion Cosmos Sand.

In the Myriad Realms Kingdom.

Within the Myriad Realms Kingdom, there was a world specially created to raise various unique creatures, including Divine King-level beasts, perfect Chaos-level beings, and some terrifying creatures bred through special means.

“Someone needs materials from our bodies?” A towering rock-like creature and a silver-clawed beast stared at their keeper.

The keeper, a man in a yellow robe, smiled and said, “I only need a small portion of your bodies, more than one-millionth. Once the material is sold, you can’t destroy it willingly.”

“It seems they want to study our body materials,” the towering rock creature and the silver-clawed beast said as they looked at the keeper. Perfect Chaos-level beings were highly intelligent and could even perform basic Chaos Realm techniques.

“As long as the two of you agree, I’ll provide a pot of ‘Blood Spirit Wine’ every epoch for the next ten epochs,” the keeper said. This kind of agreement required the two perfect Chaos-level beings to willingly comply, as they could destroy their body materials with a single thought otherwise.

“Two pots of Blood Spirit Wine,” the silver-clawed beast raised two of its claws.

“Three pots!” The towering rock creature glanced at the silver-clawed beast. They had been captured by the Lord of the Myriad Realms long ago and had been kept here for countless years. Body materials didn’t matter to them; they just wanted good food and drink.

“One pot of Blood Spirit Wine is already difficult to acquire,” the keeper shook his head repeatedly.

After a hard negotiation, the towering rock creature and the silver-clawed beast sold some of their body materials at the price of ‘one and a half pots of Blood Spirit Wine per epoch for ten epochs.’
