Chapter 270, Episode Six: Reincarnation? Or Natural Talent?
Luo Feng’s Heaven-Earth Avatar was a God Emperor-stage lifeform. The fusion process of the Heaven-Earth Avatar with the secret treasure, the ‘Palm World,’ could be partially窥探 (kuītàn – peeked at/spied on) by the strongest existences on Origin Continent.
An unfamiliar God Emperor of early stage? With such a powerful secret treasure?
Who else could it be besides Galaxy Lord? It couldn’t be that Origin Continent was producing two God Emperors of early stage in a row.
“Hahaha, I can’t hide it from Brother Di Qing after all.” Luo Feng stood on one of the five towering peaks formed by the massive, furry claw. He revealed his true form, his mask vanished.
Whoosh.
Di Qing also arrived on the peak, laughing. “With such a powerful avatar and such a powerful secret treasure, who else could it be but my old friend, Galaxy Lord?”
“Is this a naturally formed secret treasure?” Di Qing stood on the summit, gazing at the gigantic, furry claw in awe. “This natural secret treasure is invaluable; placed in the Infinite Space Treasury, it would be worth at least thirty or forty thousand reward points.”
Luo Feng nodded. Based on his extensive research, the mystic patterns contained within this natural secret treasure were slightly inferior to those of a ‘Special Lifeform’s Remains,’ but it was, after all, a secret treasure.
“Did you obtain it in the Dream Domain?” Di Qing asked.
“Yes,” Luo Feng replied. “Having cultivated until now, this is the only natural secret treasure I’ve obtained.”
“I’ve cultivated for longer than you, and I’ve explored the Dream Domain and the Sky Pillar World for a long time, yet I’ve only obtained two natural secret treasures,” Di Qing chuckled. “Moreover, in my estimation, its value should be close to that of a Special Lifeform’s Remains.”
Luo Feng smiled.
“You don’t seem to plan on taking this secret treasure out?” Di Qing asked, observing the scene before him. The Palm World formed by the vast natural secret treasure was sheltering Huoyang City.
Luo Feng nodded. “I’m not taking it out.”
“This Huoyang City is now the safest place in the entire Origin Continent,” Di Qing stated. “The isolation of karma is too severe; even I cannot probe it.”
With the aid of his Eye of Creation and Destruction, Luo Feng could discern the karmic connections between the beings within Huoyang City and those outside.
But no other method could penetrate it.
“Whoosh, whoosh.”
Two figures arrived side-by-side: Ancestor Yan Feng and Ancestor Lei Ting.
“What a magnificent natural secret treasure!” Ancestor Yan Feng exclaimed. “It must be the claw of an advanced Primal Lifeform, nurtured within the body of that world-level Primal Lifeform in the Dream Domain for countless ages, finally forming this natural secret treasure. Its value is comparable to a Special Lifeform’s Remains.”
“Ancestor Yan Feng, you can tell all that?” Luo Feng asked, surprised.
“After all, I have lived in this source world for several eras, and I have seen quite a few Special Lifeform’s Remains and natural secret treasures,” Ancestor Yan Feng replied with a smile. “I have also heard similar rumors outside the source world. Naturally, I can deduce a thing or two.”
Ancestor Lei Ting looked at the furry claw, unable to resist saying, “Galaxy, are you planning to sell this natural secret treasure? I can get you a suitable inheritance that directly points to the level of a Demi-Primal cultivator.”
“An inheritance that directly points to the level of a Demi-Primal?” Di Qing, who was standing nearby, was somewhat surprised. He knew very well that inheritances below the God Emperor level were common, but cultivator inheritances that reached the Demi-Primal level were much more expensive.
“I’m not selling,” Luo Feng said, shaking his head.
“When you plan to sell it, contact me anytime.” Ancestor Lei Ting was very patient. Living for a long time had made him understand the magic of time. Over the long years, cultivators could easily change their minds. Perhaps, in the future, under the influence of circumstances, this Luo Feng might actively sell the treasure.
Luo Feng looked up at the distance. Ancestor Feng Xi from the Eastern Territories had also arrived.
“The God Emperors of Origin Continent have gathered here today,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “This is my Luo Feng’s honor.”
With a wave of his hand,
cave dwellings, tables, and stools materialized, and fine wine and fruits were prepared.
“Please, everyone, be seated.”
Immediately, Luo Feng, the two Ancestors, Di Qing, and Ancestor Feng Xi sat down. These were the five most powerful beings in Origin Continent.
“I had been guessing who Galaxy Lord really was, and I had even suspected Luo Feng… but Luo Feng is too young, I couldn’t believe it,” Ancestor Feng Xi said with a laugh. “Who would have thought that it really was Luo Feng.”
“Luo Feng,” Ancestor Yan Feng couldn’t help but say, “Are you a reincarnated being, or have you truly cultivated to this level in just over a thousand cycles?”
“Looking at the cultivation path and secret techniques of the strong cultivators in Origin Continent’s history, none of them match Luo Feng’s. He probably isn’t reincarnated,” Ancestor Feng Xi said, shaking his head.
Ancestor Lei Ting chuckled. “Perhaps he is a strong cultivator from another source world, reincarnated here.”
As he spoke, Ancestor Yan Feng and Ancestor Lei Ting both looked at Luo Feng.
“A strong cultivator from another source world, reincarnated here?” Luo Feng asked, surprised. “Has that happened in Origin Continent before?”
From the Infinite Space Treasury, Luo Feng knew that there were ways to reincarnate into other source worlds.
“Not in Origin Continent,” Ancestor Yan Feng said with a smile, “But we have heard quite a few stories like that when we venture outside the source world!”
“If you aren’t reincarnated…”
Ancestor Lei Ting couldn’t help but say, “Luo Feng must have come to Origin Continent through reincarnation, arriving in Huoyang City approximately 1500 cycles ago. And you have already reached such a level?”
“Such time, such strength; truly terrifying,” Di Qing also said, looking at Luo Feng with admiration.
The two Ancestors, Di Qing, and Ancestor Feng Xi all felt that if he really had cultivated to this level in such a short amount of time, the speed of his growth was too terrifying! It would be understandable if he was an old monster from another source world, reincarnated here.
“Hahaha…” Luo Feng laughed. “Just think of me as a reincarnated being.”
He was too lazy to explain or prove anything. “To achieve such accomplishments in a short period of time is to be among the most outstanding in all the source worlds, in billions of worlds,” Ancestor Yan Feng and the others now faintly felt that Luo Feng might truly have cultivated so quickly.
This realization filled their hearts with awe.
Such talent!
Such potential!
……
At this moment, the God Emperors, Monarchs, and many God Kings in Origin Continent were speculating about the events in Huoyang City. They vaguely guessed at one possibility.
Di Yan, Di Xi, and Di Wu gathered together.
“The true identity of Galaxy Lord is most likely that Luo Feng!” Di Yan said, sitting uncomfortably on his throne. His enormous flaming wings drooped, his slender, scaled tail writhing slightly, and the flames on his body flared and twisted.
“You’re so flustered?” Di Wu said. “Just because there’s a powerful secret treasure around Huoyang City, you can prove that Galaxy Lord is Luo Feng?”
“Sister Di Wu, did you see the power of that secret treasure? It has already reached the limit of power in Origin Continent,” Di Yan said anxiously. “It even isolates karma, even more so than Thunder Mountain. I can’t sense any life within Huoyang City at all now.”
Di Xi, who was beside him, nodded coldly. “When it comes to isolating karma in Origin Continent, Thunder Mountain used to be ranked first, and it could be called the number one holy ground. Now, Huoyang City’s isolation is even stronger.”
“A treasure still needs a master to wield it,” Di Yan said. “Like Gui Xu and the others, even if you give them a powerful secret treasure, they can’t unleash much of its power. But the power of that gigantic claw is so strong… the master of this secret treasure must be stronger than us.”
“A powerful existence and such a powerful secret treasure suddenly appeared in the entire Origin Continent? Who else could it be besides Galaxy Lord?” Di Yan said urgently. “And that continuous range of five mountains has been around Huoyang City for hundreds of cycles.”
“No one mistake, No one omission, No one first, No one hair, No one inside, No one Rong, No one in a row to see!”
“Considering Luo Feng’s speed of rise.”
“Considering that the former Galaxy Lord killed three Nation Lords of the Eater Nation! But the territory fell into Luo Feng’s hands.”
“Galaxy Lord hates evil as if it were an enemy. Look closely at Luo Feng’s growth history; he also hates evil as if it were an enemy.”
Di Yan said anxiously, “Combining all aspects, it’s almost certain that Luo Feng is Galaxy Lord!”
As the first God Emperor of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom, Di Yan could even unite two God Emperors, making their group stronger than other God Emperors and becoming the most powerful force among the many God Emperors of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom. Di Yan’s insight was naturally sharp, and he had long noticed Luo Feng’s potential and wanted to suppress him. But he didn’t expect Luo Feng to grow so terrifyingly.
“Even if he is Galaxy Lord, so what? We haven’t plundered billions of beings,” Di Xi said indifferently. “We don’t have any major grudges with him.”
“Di Wu, your grudges with Di Chu are quite deep,” Di Yan said.
“We didn’t kill any of Luo Feng’s clansmen or disciples of any sect,” Di Wu said. “As for the grudges with Di Chu, Di Chu is doing well, but I lost two children! I’m the one who suffered more.”
“We are, after all, God Emperors of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom’s royal family. The Ancestor is merciful; as long as it’s not a major mistake, he will protect us,” Di Xi said, looking at Di Yan. “I know what you mean. You want to leave Origin Continent?”
Di Yan looked at his wife. “Don’t leave your fate to be decided by other strong cultivators.”
After determining that Luo Feng should be Galaxy Lord, Di Yan had already made a decision.
“I don’t want to leave.”
Di Xi shook her head. “I’ve heard that outside the source world, those of us who only have ultimate realm lifeforms are the weakest, the most inferior! I’d rather eke out an existence in Origin Continent for billions of cycles than go out there.”
Di Yan didn’t try to persuade her any further.
If Origin Continent was close to annihilation, and he took Di Xi away, Di Xi would definitely be willing.
But there were still billions of cycles to go! It was still a very long time, so it was normal for Di Xi not to want to leave.
……
Elsewhere.
Di Chu looked towards Huoyang City from afar. That super-sized, furry claw, supporting Huoyang City, its power even more terrifying than Thunder Mountain.
“To be able to wield such a secret treasure, and without fear, not worrying about being plundered by the Ancestors. Instead, he actively displays it…” Di Chu thought, “It should be that Galaxy Lord.”
“He’s displaying such means and such a powerful secret treasure in Huoyang City, just to protect Huoyang City?”
The God Emperors weren’t stupid.
This time, Luo Feng’s methods displayed in Huoyang City, combined with past clues, made it easy for everyone to have a common speculation – Luo Feng might be Galaxy Lord.
“My disciple, could be Galaxy Lord?”
“Could he?”
Di Chu looked from afar, his heart in turmoil.
“Luo Feng,” Di Chu suddenly sent a message.
“Master,” Luo Feng replied.
“Luo Feng, are you Galaxy Lord?” Di Chu asked again.
“Yes! I am Galaxy Lord. I’ve kept it from you for so long; I was wrong to do so,” Luo Feng replied.
Di Chu felt his blood boiling, his head buzzing.
