Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Bo Xiu, Chi Zhen, and Bai Yin exchanged glances.

“What’s the matter?” Luo Feng noticed something unusual about his three friends.

“Brother Luo Feng,” the red-robed youth Chi Zhen said, “this time you sold goods estimated at seventy-three trillion Primordial Crystals. But you’ve only spent a tiny part of that on treasures, with over seventy trillion Primordial Crystals left. You must be planning to take it to the large Primordial Hall in Primordial City, right?”

Luo Feng nodded: “In the entire Dark Sacred Realm, the real treasures are mainly found in the large Primordial Hall.”

The oldest Primordial Hall is full of wonders, with so many treasures that it surpasses even the Infinite Space.

You can exchange them for cities, various bloodlines, and even for secret treasures like the ‘Eye of Life and Death’ and beyond! You can even exchange them for living Primordial prisoners!

“Of course, I intend to use these Primordial Crystals at the Primordial Hall,” Luo Feng said.

“Carrying over seventy trillion Primordial Crystals with you…” Bo Xiu shook his head gently, “You think you can reach Primordial City alive?”

Luo Feng was startled: “What do you mean?”

Beside him, Bai Yin Divine Emperor poured Luo Feng some wine and said, “Brother Luo Feng, the Dark Sacred Realm is named ‘Dark’ for a reason. The chaos here, are you not aware of it?”

“I’ve heard of it,” Luo Feng nodded.

Bai Yin Divine Emperor continued, “As of now, the two strongest in the Dark Sacred Realm are ‘Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch’ and ‘Divine Emperor Ji Ke’. Individually, their strength can only match the combined might of the three of us. So in the Dark Sacred Realm, unless you’re invincible, individual strength is far from enough.”

Luo Feng was thoughtful.

“In this Chengfeng City, there are three major forces capable of purchasing your goods. These three forces… are also the most influential in Chengfeng City,” Bo Xiu Divine Emperor said. “The first is the group led by the City Lord, consisting of twenty-nine peak level existences. They tend to stick together, and their actual leader is Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch. But since Dragon Nine Daoist Monarch lives long-term in the ‘large Primordial Hall’ within Primordial City, leadership falls to the City Lord.”

“The second force is led by the ‘Secret Ruins Divine Emperor’, which includes fifteen peak level existences. Secret Ruins Divine Emperor’s mastery of formations is among the top three in the entire Dark Sacred Realm. With his formation skills, their combined power of fifteen peak-level beings is extremely formidable.”

“The third force is the Eight Friends of the Heavenly Wolf, formed by eight peak level existences. They seem the weakest but were once followers of the invincible ‘Heavenly Wolf Guest’. The Heavenly Wolf Guest was an invincible existence in the history of the Dark Sacred Realm, achieving invincibility with rapid speed. We haven’t seen him but have heard of him! It’s said that Heavenly Wolf Guest has long escaped the Braided Cage.”

Bo Xiu, Chi Zhen, and Bai Yin all looked at Luo Feng.

The three of them also had a desire to follow Luo Feng, believing he had the potential to become an ‘invincible existence’.

Once truly invincible, one is ushered into ascension and no longer requires followers!

So they must decide early and follow with unwavering loyalty.

The Eight Friends of the Heavenly Wolf did just that! They followed Heavenly Wolf Guest in the early days. As Heavenly Wolf Guest became invincible, then escaped the Braided Cage, he gave them some slight rewards, and their status in the Dark Sacred Realm became quite unusual.

“Indeed, the cultivators of the Dark Sacred Realm who have connections with those who escaped the Braided Cage should be quite a few,” Luo Feng realized.

For example, Elder Xingyi from Yulan City, who is the disciple of an invincible existence.

The Dark Sacred Realm, after all, is the core of the surrounding world cluster! Historically, each invincible existence that escaped the Braided Cage naturally left many traces here, as well as disciples and friends.

“Over seventy trillion Primordial Crystals,” Bo Xiu whispered, “If you take them out of Chengfeng City just like that, even if the three of us team up to help you, we couldn’t protect you.”

“The City Lord’s side is somewhat lenient, with a fifty percent chance of action. But the other two forces are eighty to ninety percent likely to make a move!” the red-robed youth Chi Zhen said, “Secret Ruins Divine Emperor and his group desperately need all resources and are very likely to make a move. The Eight Friends of the Heavenly Wolf do not lack resources, but after receiving a gift from the ‘Heavenly Wolf Guest’, they might have suffered some soul pollution, drastically changing their nature, becoming very greedy and fierce.”

“In the Dark Sacred Realm, the most dangerous thing isn’t the individual, but the group. After all, the gap at peak level isn’t large,” Bo Xiu observed Luo Feng, “Any one of these three forces, if they join hands, could not be withstood without ‘invincible strength’.

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

“So I advise you, first, buy everything you can, and have the seller directly send the treasures to the Transmission Holy Mountain,” Bo Xiu suggested, “You can arrange your avatar to receive them at the Transmission Holy Mountain. Then bring them directly back to the Source World.”

“Second, try to convert most of your Primordial Crystals into battle merit. Because in the large Primordial Hall of Primordial City, only relatively ordinary treasures can be purchased with Primordial Crystals. Everything else requires battle merit.”

“Convert them into battle merit and ensure it’s under your name! Then no one can take it away.”

Bo Xiu laid out his opinions.

“For us peak level existences, after accumulating for eons, we typically have around several trillion Primordial Crystals, most of which are converted to battle merit! What you have compares to the cumulative resources of ten peak level existences. And it’s all in Primordial Crystals, ripe for plunder, who wouldn’t be tempted?” the red-robed youth Chi Zhen said.

The three of them were determined to follow Luo Feng, fostering good relations to override their greed.

But over seventy trillion Primordial Crystals, how many resources could that exchange for?

“Thank you, all three,” Luo Feng expressed his gratitude.
