Chapter 159: The Chosen Path | Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans]
Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on April 9, 2025
In the treasure land ‘Infinite Space,’ Luo Feng transformed into a stream of light as he flew, his speed hundreds of times faster than when he first arrived. And this was just his normal travel speed.
“In this treasure land, the areas with slightly more native creatures are all occupied. If I want to carve out my own territory, I need to go to the most remote and desolate areas.” Luo Feng chose a direction and continued to travel.
Areas with more native creatures might have hundreds of them in one area, enough for multiple God Kings to join forces to occupy.
But in remote and desolate areas, there might only be one or two native creatures in a large area. Because there were so few, it was only suitable for individual occupation!
The biggest danger of individual occupation was… encountering other strong individuals who wanted to seize it!
Luo Feng also cultivated in seclusion for hundreds of cycles under Emperor Ming’s protection before venturing out on his own.
“Luo River? This is the territory of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom’s royalty, please leave.”
“This is the territory of my Thunder Ancient Kingdom’s royalty!”
“Leave quickly.”
Along the way, Luo Feng tried to avoid areas occupied by large forces. When he came into contact with some immense consciousnesses, he was warned and expelled! He never encountered anyone as benevolent as Emperor Ming, willing to give him a piece of land.
After flying for a long time, he finally arrived at his destination.
“Hundred Mist Lake!”
Luo Feng looked at the vast, endless lake ahead, shrouded in mist.
Hundred Mist Lake was extremely vast. In the earliest days, it had been home to hundreds of native creatures. The ruler of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom later took exclusive possession of it, causing the number of native creatures to steadily decline. Now, there were probably only a handful left in the entire lake.
This was a place that had been occupied by various forces. Because there were too few creatures and the area was too vast, the large forces didn’t care for it. Only lone travelers like Luo Feng would find it suitable.
“Begin a full investigation of Hundred Mist Lake!”
“Life and Death Indestructible! Separate!”
With a thought, Luo Feng immediately created nine clones. The nine clones flew in all directions, carefully searching for native creatures in the dense mist.
In Infinite Space, nineteen of the fundamental avenues were sealed! To use truly powerful techniques, one had to create new paths.
During these hundreds of cycles, Luo Feng had also been trying to create the Avenue of Life and Death.
This cultivation was progressing rapidly! It was much faster than comprehending the Avenue of Life or the Avenue of Destruction.
There were several factors contributing to this speed.
First, Luo Feng had already reached the peak of the Chaos realm in both the paths of Life and Destruction. With such a deep foundation, it was natural to merge them into the Avenue of Life and Death.
Second, Luo Feng deeply believed that Life and Death were one, a path recognized by his heart.
When he became an Eternal True God, Luo Feng comprehended the origin of Life and Death.
The first Chaos realm technique Luo Feng comprehended was a combination of Life and Death – the saber technique Heart Refinement.
It was only because there was no Avenue of Life and Death in the Supreme Rules that Luo Feng temporarily put it aside, focusing on the other two. After all, the Avenue of Life and the Avenue of Destruction both existed and could be comprehended and observed.
In Luo Feng’s heart, these two fundamental avenues were both foundational and resources! They were ultimately for him to create the Avenue of Life and Death.
“The Avenue of Life and Death is indeed much stronger.”
Because there was no clear fundamental avenue to refer to, Luo Feng was purely following his heart, merging some of the insights from the avenues of Life and Destruction. Naturally, he also comprehended many techniques.
“I’ve been in the Origin Continent for about one hundred and sixty cycles! These one hundred cycles have been my period of deepest accumulation.” Luo Feng was very clear about his progress.
The Avenue of Life and Death was a fused and evolved version of the avenues of Life and Destruction, containing many advantages of both.
But its shortcomings were obvious. Without a clear avenue, Luo Feng didn’t know what the branches of the avenue were like. Now, Luo Feng had comprehended many God King level secret techniques in the Avenue of Life and Death, and his accumulation was even higher than in Life and Destruction! But he had never grasped a complete branch of the Avenue of Life and Death.
Luo Feng could clearly see the six branches of Life and the six branches of Destruction, and he had a clear direction.
Luo Feng had a feeling that as long as he deliberately tried, he could become a God King within one cycle.
But Luo Feng was very patient. He followed the guidance of the creator of the ‘World Lifeform’ inheritance! Taking the training of comprehension as the foundation, he continued to accumulate until he broke through naturally.
He didn’t deliberately pursue breakthroughs.
“The opportunity in Infinite Space has allowed me to comprehend the Avenue of Life and Death earlier.”
Clearly, the Avenue of Life and Death… was indeed more suitable for him than Life or Destruction.
Luo Feng had long suspected this in his heart. After all, he believed that Life and Death were one. Without either, it was incomplete.
These hundreds of cycles of cultivation also showed that cultivating the Avenue of Life and Death allowed him to surpass others even when starting later!
“No clear secret techniques, no avenue to comprehend! Yet, the strength in the Avenue of Life and Death is stronger than the other two.”
This also proved one point, the path that was most suitable for oneself was the fastest. Luo Feng thought, God Kings generally focused on one fundamental avenue! Few cultivated two simultaneously.
Because every cultivator had their own heart’s perception.
Some perceptions, the heart would deny some avenues, and might even hate some paths. Forcing oneself to comprehend them would naturally be extremely inefficient.
Like Sit Mountain Guest, he had his own path. He had never been moved by the idea of controlling the original universe or facing the origin of Life, nor had he made any attempts.
“The investigation is clear.”
With the help of his clone technique, Luo Feng finally finished exploring Hundred Mist Lake. Currently, two God Kings occupied parts of the area. Outside of their occupied areas… there were still three native creatures, all quite far apart.
“Of these three native creatures, two are relatively ordinary, similar to those I fought before. There is also one very powerful one, which only suffered minor injuries even after taking my Lieyuan Technique head-on.”
Of these three native creatures, one was strong and two were weak.
Luo Feng was still very satisfied! He hoped to have stronger mental creatures to temper himself.
“It’ll be these three.”
Although the three native creatures were far apart, Luo Feng decided to occupy all of them. “I’ll use my clone technique to occupy the areas of these three native creatures separately.”
Luo Feng’s true body and two clones separated, each occupying the area of one native creature.
Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, Fengzhang City, this was also the ancestral home of the Zhang family of the royal clan, where generations of descendants had thrived and lived.
“Hahaha, Brother Luo Sa, please.”
“Yun Ge being able to become Dao companions with Mo Yu Qingyan is also the fate of my Zhang family and the Luohe Great Saint.” In a grand hall of the Zhang family, the core leaders of the Zhang family were there, hosting a grand banquet for Moro Sa, Mo Yu Qingyan, and others.
Inside the hall.
The two Chaos Dominators of the Zhang family were present. They sat in the main seats with Moro Sa. The three Chaos realm experts were chatting and laughing harmoniously.
“Qingyan, this kid, is my master’s disciple and also my disciple.” Moro Sa laughed, “In the future, when Yun Ge and Qingyan become Dao companions, they will be considered half my disciples.”
Mo Yu Qingyan and Zhang Yunge were both sitting below, obediently listening.
It seemed that the two sides were having a pleasant conversation. Mo Yu Qingyan was also very happy to see this.
This was his first time coming to the Zhang family, and he was afraid that he wouldn’t be approved of by them!
But as a result, the Zhang family was very welcoming!
Although Zhang Yunge was a branch of the Zhang family’s main line, the royal clan had countless descendants, and she was just one Eternal True God among them, unremarkable among the tens of thousands of Eternal True Gods in the royal clan.
“I’m not considered important in the family.” Zhang Yunge transmitted, “The reason why the two Chaos Dominators of the family are present this time is actually because of your status.”
The appearance of a Chaos realm expert was already remarkable.
As for Fengzhang God King, the highest-ranking member of the Zhang family, he was ultimately a God King. He didn’t need to get involved in the matter of two Eternal True God juniors becoming Dao companions.
Even if Luohe Great Saint became a God King and truly became a hegemonic figure! Fengzhang God King didn’t need to curry favor too much. Being able to take root in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, Fengzhang God King also had a background.
“Qingyan, we’re family now, come, have a drink.” Zhang Yunge’s father, who was on the side, was also very enthusiastic. As an ordinary Eternal True God, his status in the family was far inferior to those Eternal True Gods of the Law lineage. But today, he was very proud! Even the two Chaos realm ancestors were very friendly.
Mo Yu Qingyan was not arrogant at all.
He had self-awareness!
His second master had exhausted his efforts to guide him, and he had only become a Void True God in the Law lineage. Later, with the help of his master and second master, he became an Eternal True God by following the bloodline cultivation system.
In terms of cultivation, he really didn’t have much potential. He could only have his current status as the only disciple of his master and second master. What was there to be proud of?
Zhang Yunge smiled at this scene.
She had chosen Mo Yu Qingyan as her Dao companion. When she was in charge of the royal family’s business in Xiangjie City, she first met Mo Yu Qingyan, who was highly respected in Xiangjie City.
Later, after spending a lot of time together, she found that Mo Yu Qingyan was very simple and honest, and she gradually fell in love with him.
She had cultivated to become an Eternal True God. She had never had a Dao companion in the past, which showed her heart. If there was no suitable one, she would rather cultivate alone forever.
Mo Yu Qingyan was the same! They had both chosen their Dao companions only after becoming Eternal True Gods.
In the treasure land Infinite Space, while his disciple was about to get married, Luo Feng, as the master, was wholeheartedly focused on cultivation. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on an island in a lake, using the Great Destruction Heart Refinement Technique to wipe out the pollution of his mind.
The stronger the mental creatures, the stronger the pollution.
Luo Feng could feel the impact on himself. Even when trying to comprehend the avenue, the mental pollution would interfere again and again.
Rumble…
Suddenly, a consciousness touched Luo Feng’s spreading consciousness.
“This is my territory, leave quickly.” Luo Feng conveyed his consciousness.
“Your territory? I’ve killed this native creature ancestor dozens of times! This has always been my place.” That mental will, which also reached the second level of the God King realm, showed a large figure in yellow robes standing in the distance, looking at the island with a sneer, “So it’s Luo River! You, a Chaos realm transcendence, dare to compete with me, an ancestor, for territory? If you don’t want to die, get out!”
Luo Feng looked at him, his eyes turning cold: “Then let me see how much you, a first-level God King, can do in this Infinite Space.”
