Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Luo Feng left Emperor Chu’s palace and returned to his residence, entering the Star Tower to study the newly acquired golden-scaled insect corpse.

A massive insect corpse lay in this layer of the Star Tower, and Luo Feng looked up at the giant creature.

“According to Master, Thunder Ancestor focused on researching various primordial bloodlines. This golden-scaled insect is one of the special lifeforms he cultivated,” Luo Feng observed the insect closely.

From the inheritance hall’s various pieces of inheritance and resource information, Luo Feng had learned a basic understanding…

The vast world governed by the supreme laws was like a cage. For example, both the Origin Continent and the three thousand primal universes belonged to a single complete cage. Outside the cage, there existed a space with primordial power that produced primordial materials. The beings born in that space possessed primordial bloodlines!

Most of the upper echelons of the royal family in the Ancient Thunder Kingdom cultivated using primordial bloodlines.

“This is a Chaos Realm being, yet it has a more advanced form than the Trinity Form, known as the Tenfold World Form?” Luo Feng extended his finger, and a silver thread flew from its tip, entering the golden-scaled insect’s mouth and quickly drawing out a drop of blood.

Luo Feng began analyzing this drop of golden blood.

“Even after death, the blood remains so stable?” Luo Feng’s sharp fingers sliced the blood into particles.

“This golden-scaled insect’s every particle contains powerful spiritual essence, making it even stronger than perfect Chaos-level beings. No wonder it could challenge Divine Kings.”

Pop.

As a golden particle was cut, nine smaller particles appeared inside.

These nine small particles were divided into three groups, with each group of three particles fused together.

The three groups maintained a certain distance from each other, rotating slowly and stably.

“So this is the ‘Tenfold World Form’?” Luo Feng observed in surprise. “The first tribulation of the *Eight Tribulations Life Form*, in the ‘Life Body branch,’ mentions seven types of Tenfold World Forms, and this one is among them.”

The descriptions in the inheritance couldn’t compare to seeing it with his own eyes.

A large particle contained nine small particles. The nine particles were fused into three groups of three, which rotated eternally without touching each other.

Luo Feng, who had comprehended the Life Body branch to the peak of the Chaos Realm, found some insights as he studied this form.

“Brilliant, truly brilliant.”

Luo Feng was excited. “These three particles perfectly fused are also a type of Trinity Form.”

There were many different kinds of Trinity Forms.

Perfect Chaos-level beings had a single large particle containing yin-yang particles inside, forming a Trinity Form.

The basic structure of the golden-scaled insect, the ‘Tenfold World Form,’ also had three particles fused together in a type of Trinity Form.

“Two different types of Trinity Forms…”

Luo Feng carefully observed and even cut them open, watching as the Trinity Form collapsed and revealed countless materialized Chaos secret patterns.

“A Trinity Form can even form a cyclic system between its particles?” Luo Feng studied the mysteries behind this, deepening his understanding of the Trinity Form.

…

During his time in the Chu Capital, Luo Feng had obtained top-tier inheritances and precious resources, so he was fully focused on cultivation. He wasn’t interested in getting involved in the conflicts within the Chu Capital.

“What?”

Marquis Chu Ji and Marquis Chu Yuan were originally drinking and chatting when they both suddenly received a mission from the royal family. Upon receiving the mission, they were stunned.

“He-he-heaven-level?” Marquis Chu Yuan’s already hideous face twisted further, his eyes widening in shock.

“Heaven-level mission?” Marquis Chu Ji was equally dumbfounded.

For a first-class marquis of the royal family, the highest rank of missions they typically encountered were king-level missions.

However, every thousand or even ten thousand epochs, a rare ‘earth-level mission’ might appear.

In even longer intervals, spanning hundreds of thousands or even millions of epochs, a ‘heaven-level mission’ might appear. A heaven-level mission was the highest-ranked mission a first-class marquis could encounter in their lifetime.

These missions were issued to the royal family’s first-class marquises themselves; guest ministers weren’t eligible to receive them.

“There’s actually a heaven-level mission,” Marquis Chu Yuan and Marquis Chu Ji exchanged glances.

“Big brother,” Marquis Chu Yuan’s eyes were fervent, “if we rank high in this heaven-level mission… the rewards and resources will be enormous and terrifying.”

“We must prepare well for this mission,” Marquis Chu Ji said, also showing signs of excitement.

That day, the first-stage Divine Kings and first-class marquises of the Ancient Flame Kingdom’s royal family all received heaven-level missions.

It all stemmed from a batch of precious resources that the Flame Wind Ancestor had sent back. According to royal family rules, the thirteen emperors and second-stage Divine Kings were each allocated resources according to their rank without competition.

However, the first-stage Divine Kings and first-class marquises had to engage in fierce competition.

The exceptional ones would receive more.

The mediocre ones, less.

…

In a mysterious palace within an illusory world, various thoughts gathered.

“The Ancient Flame Kingdom has received a batch of precious resources—heaven-level resources! The first-stage Divine Kings and first-class marquises of the royal family must compete for them. The distribution will be based on their ranking.”

“They’ll need help in their competition. We can assist them.”

“If those first-stage Divine Kings and first-class marquises are willing to share part of their resources with us, not even the thirteen emperors of the Ancient Flame Kingdom can stop them.”

“Helping them and taking some payment in return is only fair!”

Many ancient beings on the Origin Continent had long envied the two great ancient kingdoms.

The two great kingdoms had immense resources, and the Flame Wind Ancestor and Thunder Ancestor had acquired vast amounts of resources. What they didn’t need, they left for their clans.

“In terms of talent and potential, the elites selected from countless cultivators across the Origin Continent surely surpass the royal family of the two great kingdoms.”

“But with their massive amounts of precious resources, they’ve managed to cultivate thirteen emperors in the Ancient Flame Kingdom and nine monarchs in the Ancient Thunder Kingdom. In terms of resources, the amount we use is not even one ten-thousandth of what these emperors and monarchs have.”

“As guest ministers, we work hard to accumulate millions of merit points, yet we still struggle to obtain an ultimate-level inheritance.”

“The ultimate-level inheritances of the two great kingdoms start at 30 million merit points each! The expensive primordial bloodline inheritances or those that require primordial power to cultivate can cost hundreds of millions of merit points.”

“And many resources aren’t even available for exchange.”

These ancient beings were extremely envious.

As guest ministers in the two great kingdoms, they risked their lives for a single inheritance.

Meanwhile, the royal family members of the two great kingdoms could casually choose inheritances and had piles of precious resources. These ancient beings, despite their great strength, didn’t dare openly rob the royal family and could only rely on more subtle methods to convince the royals to share some of their resources.

“Fortunately, there’s still the Yuan. The Yuan gives us free cultivators the same competitive opportunities as the royal family. Otherwise, we’d never rise.”

“If not for Master Yuan, the two great kingdoms would oppress us even more.”

After exchanging some information, the ancient beings dispersed.

…

Luo Feng ended his seclusion and went to meet Di Chu Yu, who had come to visit.

“Brother Chu Yu, what’s the urgent matter?” Luo Feng smiled. Usually, a message would suffice, but this time, Di Chu Yu insisted on a face-to-face discussion.

“The Ancient Flame Kingdom’s royal family has issued a heaven-level mission. Did you know?” Di Chu Yu asked.

“A heaven-level mission?” Luo Feng was a bit surprised.

With his status, he was aware of the common high-level information of the Origin Continent and knew that the highest-ranking missions for first-class marquises were heaven-level missions. The resources involved were also terrifying.

At that moment, Luo Feng still didn’t know that his master, Emperor Chu, had summoned him because of the massive batch of resources the Flame Wind Ancestor had sent back.

“These missions only come around once every hundred thousand epochs, sometimes even longer,” Di Chu Yu said anxiously. “I just became a first-class marquis not long ago, and now a heaven-level mission appears. Sigh! There are seven first-class marquises in Emperor Chu’s lineage, and I’m the weakest. Competing will be very tough.”

“Very tough?” Luo Feng looked at him.

“The heaven-level mission is divided into three sub-missions,” Di Chu Yu explained. “The first two sub-missions are individual tasks and must be completed by ourselves. Only the third sub-mission allows outside help.”

Luo Feng understood.

Two of the sub-missions had to be completed individually? For the weakest of Emperor Chu’s marquises, it was indeed a disadvantage.

“If this heaven-level mission had come 100 epochs later, I would have reached the peak of the Chaos Realm,” Di Chu Yu said helplessly. Even with the abundant resources aiding his cultivation, he was still short of reaching the peak.

Luo Feng said, “No matter what, you have to give it your all. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next

heaven-level mission will come?”

“One of the sub-missions is to retrieve the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl,” Di Chu Yu said. “This is the mission I’ll need to trouble you with, Brother Luo He. Only your strength can secure it.”

Luo Feng understood.

Across the entire Origin Continent, there was only one place where Blood Spirit Gold Pearls were produced, located on the border between the two great kingdoms.

“Don’t worry,” Luo Feng nodded.

“As long as you help me complete this mission, I won’t trouble you with future tasks,” Di Chu Yu said. If this heaven-level mission went well and the rewards were substantial, even lying low for the next ten thousand epochs wouldn’t be an issue.

Luo Feng smiled, “Rest assured, Brother Chu Yu, I’ll do my best in this mission.”

Luo Feng owed Di Chu Yu a debt of gratitude for helping him come to the Chu Capital as a guest minister and for his introduction to Emperor Chu.

“For the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl, you must deliver it to the Chu Capital within ten days after it’s retrieved. After that, it will turn into a ‘Blood Spirit Poison Pearl,’ and it won’t count toward the mission,” Di Chu Yu explained.

Luo Feng nodded.

“There are seven first-class marquises in Emperor Chu’s royal lineage,” Di Chu Yu said. “I may be the weakest, but I’ve already reached the peak of the Chaos Realm. Also, the first two individual sub-missions test wisdom, character, and other qualities. I might not necessarily rank last.”

“As for the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl, there aren’t many who can call on a Chaos Realm Transcendent for help.”

“I think I have a good chance of placing third or fourth,” Di Chu Yu said.

Among the seven first-class marquises, the difference in resources between first and seventh place was immense.

If he could secure a middle ranking, Di Chu Yu would be satisfied.

“I’ll take care of the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl mission,” Luo Feng said. Of course, he wasn’t sure how Di Chu Yu would rank overall. Who knew how well he’d do in the two individual tasks?

“Here’s the detailed information on the Blood Spirit Gold Pearl mission. I’ll send it to you,” Di Chu Yu said, immediately transmitting the information.

Luo Feng received the mission and began reviewing it.

They were currently in the mission preparation period, and the official start of the heaven-level mission was in one thousand days.

The entire heaven-level mission would last for one epoch.

After one epoch, the final rankings would be determined.
