Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 95: Secret Technique Cultivation

In Huyang City, a manor spanning tens of thousands of kilometers within the City Lord’s Mansion was allocated for Luo Feng’s residence. Inside the Star Tower, in his secluded cultivation chamber, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, fully attuned to his “True God’s heart.”

As his miniature universe expanded to a trillion light-years in diameter, the True God’s heart connected to it also grew stronger and more resilient, with an endless stream of chaotic divine power continuously flowing into it.

“True God’s heart, evolving through chaos,” Luo Feng thought, and immediately, chaotic divine power surged within his True God’s heart. Gradually, a space within it began to expand and form, eventually stabilizing into a fully defined chaotic space.

As a practitioner of the Law path at the Chaos Realm level, evolving a chaotic space was a simple task for Luo Feng.

This chaotic space of his was both more expansive and more stable than those of other Chaos Realm practitioners at the same level.

“Rumble~~~” A massive amount of chaotic divine power poured into Luo Feng’s divine body, beginning its transformation.

“It will likely take a long time for my divine body to reach its limit,” Luo Feng felt as if his divine body was like a parched desert, absorbing the incoming chaotic divine power instantaneously, no matter how much poured in.

“Fortunately, my miniature universe’s energy absorption and chaotic divine power conversion efficiency are extremely high,” Luo Feng thought with a sigh.

His miniature universe, being a “perfect form” of its kind at the same level, naturally had a very high efficiency in energy absorption and conversion. Coupled with the fact that the time flow in his distant homeland was 10,081 times faster than on the Origin Continent, the divine power being converted at every moment was terrifyingly vast.

For an ordinary Chaos Realm practitioner, absorbing this amount of divine power would allow their divine body to reach its limit within less than a day on the Origin Continent.

However, Luo Feng’s perfect divine body at the Chaos Realm didn’t even register the inflow of this divine power; it was absorbed silently and effortlessly.

“My divine power has become a hundred times purer,” Luo Feng could feel the changes within himself.

With divine power a hundred times more refined, an even larger body, and an all-around improvement in realm, he was indeed far stronger than his Eternal True God self.

“I wonder, once my divine body reaches its limit, how large the gap between myself and Liu Yin Hou will be,” Luo Feng pondered.

There were no records of a perfect divine body in the Chaos Realm on the Origin Continent, and Luo Feng could only speculate about his strength once he reached his full potential.

On the surface, among the many Chaos Realm beings in the Shiguo, nearly ten possessed infinite divine bodies, yet Liu Yin Hou, without an infinite divine body, ranked among the top five in strength.

…

“For now, I should focus on cultivating secret techniques.” Luo Feng sensed the slow growth of his divine body, then cleared his mind of distractions and began studying the secret techniques available at the Chaos Realm level.

For a typical Chaos Realm being, the first secret technique they would research was always a life-preserving one.

Why would God Kings, who are far above, still show respect to those in the Chaos Realm? It’s because even a God King cannot guarantee that they can completely kill a Chaos Realm being.

“The first life-preserving secret technique for Chaos Realm—Reincarnation Technique,” Luo Feng began his detailed study.

The Reincarnation Technique protects a strand of true spirit for the purpose of reincarnation.

Upon death.

A strand of true spirit, under the operation of the supreme rules, would naturally reincarnate. Through the Reincarnation Technique, there is hope of retaining memories during reincarnation.

According to records of past experts who have reincarnated.

Whether memories are retained and whether consciousness is maintained during reincarnation depends on the strength of one’s will.

A God King-level will can remain conscious throughout the process! Even during the fetal stage, they would remain conscious and retain complete memories. Therefore, once born, they could quickly cultivate and restore their original strength.

A Chaos Peak-level will can typically retain complete memories within a strand of true spirit, but when they regain consciousness can vary—they might awaken in adolescence, or perhaps not until they become a Void True God or even an Eternal True God, at which point they would regain all their memories.

As for those with weaker wills? Even their memories might be fragmented, and the chance of awakening is so low it can be ignored—likely, they would never awaken memories of their past life. This essentially represents the complete extinction of the previous life.

“As long as a Chaos Realm being retains a sliver of consciousness, they can reincarnate. Moreover, there are many life-preserving secret techniques, so even a God King cannot ensure that they can completely and cleanly kill a Chaos Realm being,” Luo Feng was well aware of this fact. Even the relatively weaker faction on the Origin Continent, the Duandong River lineage, had the Undying River secret technique.

Stronger and larger legacies would naturally have even more life-preserving secret techniques.

As long as one isn’t completely obliterated in an instant, they can reincarnate immediately. After reincarnation, all ties to the past are severed, and they become a new being.

From the outside, there would be no way to discern their previous identity.

God Kings, too, have kingdoms and numerous attachments, and they wouldn’t lightly create such a terrifying enemy. This is why God Kings show a certain degree of respect toward those in the Chaos Realm.

“On the Origin Continent, occasionally there are geniuses who rise to power, or even new God Kings,” Luo Feng thought. “But in reality, these rising figures might just be reincarnated old-timers.”

For example, his master, Sitting Mountain Guest, had already reincarnated.

Or the God King ancestor who founded Xin Ying Men, or the third-generation ancestor of the Duandong River lineage—public records say they have perished! But if they didn’t completely die, and a strand of power quietly reincarnated, with their identity kept secret, who would know?

If one provokes a terrifying enemy and finds themselves cornered, reincarnation with a new identity can completely sever all ties with the past.

“Because of the Reincarnation Technique, nearly all ancient God Kings have infinite divine bodies,” Luo Feng mused.

Through reincarnation, it is possible to compensate for the flaws in one’s divine body.

Of course, reincarnation has its drawbacks too, such as the uncontrollable nature of one’s new identity and the extreme vulnerability during the fetal stage… At that stage, the soul is incredibly weak, and even with knowledge of the Law of Chaos, the power one could exert is far less than even a strand of divine power from a Chaos Realm being, making it easy to die.

Therefore, those who dare to reincarnate voluntarily usually have already reached the God King level.

A God King at least controls a branch of the Origin Dao! With a single thought, they can form a “complete set of cosmic operational rules,” capable of opening a universe on their own.

Simply by relying on the complete cosmic operational rules, they can cause the supreme rules to retreat. Their survival ability and power far exceed that of a “reincarnated Chaos Realm being,” and their risk in reincarnating is also very low.

“I hope I never have to use this Reincarnation Technique,” Luo Feng thought as he studied. He certainly didn’t want to reincarnate—if he did, his miniature universe would collapse, and countless humans within it would be annihilated, with only a very few being protected and sent to the Ancestor’s miniature universe. Over ninety-nine percent would be wiped out.

Moreover, his divine power avatar would also be destroyed, making it impossible to communicate with his family or observe the Dao of Life Origin. His soul enslavement of Morosa would also dissolve, allowing Morosa to become a free World Beast.

Only in the most desperate situation would reincarnation be considered an option.

“The Reincarnation Technique isn’t difficult,” Luo Feng mastered the technique after three days of study.

This technique, whose creator is unknown, has a low difficulty level, making it something that nearly every Chaos Realm being can learn. Any force with even a modest foundation has records of this technique.

“《Chaos Power Diagram》, 《Nine Blades of Breaking the World》, 《Extinction》, 《Donghua》, 《Lieyuan Art》… I will study them one by one,” Luo Feng calmed his mind and began delving into these secret techniques.

…

In the southern border of the Yu Kingdom, there was a vast lake, and in the center of the lake was an island. On the island was a city, slightly larger in scale than Huyang City.

“Whoosh.”

Jiu Jiang Hou’s divine power avatar appeared high in the sky, overlooking this ancient city.

The city was ancient and majestic, formed by relocating massive mountain peaks, and within it, countless citizens lived in bustling prosperity.

Jiu Jiang Hou flew into the city, unnoticed by the ordinary guards, and quietly arrived at a cave mansion within the city.

“Brother Yanyu,” Jiu Jiang Hou greeted with a slight bow.

The door of the cave mansion opened, and an old servant said, “Jiu Jiang Hou, please come in.”

Jiu Jiang Hou immediately entered. Inside a pavilion within the cave mansion, a four-armed man was seated, meticulously carving a model of a city. As he carefully carved the city model, the same intricate patterns appeared on the walls of the large city on the lake island.

Jiu Jiang Hou stood beside him, smiling as he watched.

After a long while, the four-armed man finally stopped carving and looked at Jiu Jiang Hou, “What brings you here?”

“Brother Yanyu, your mastery of formations is simply astonishing. In the entire Origin

Continent, there are probably only a handful of Chaos Realm beings who can compare to you,” Jiu Jiang Hou flattered.

“Not worth mentioning,” the four-armed man replied, though a faint smile appeared on his face. “Why have you come? Speak plainly.”

“Brother Yanyu, you know that my fief borders that of Liu Yin Hou,” Jiu Jiang Hou shook his head. “Liu Yin Hou is too overbearing; now he’s sent his army to seize my entire Jiu Jiang Chaos State. I can’t match him, so I have no choice but to seek help.”

“Indeed, it’s quite pitiful,” the four-armed man nodded.

“Brother Yanyu, if you help me, just by speaking a few words, Liu Yin Hou would certainly retreat obediently,” Jiu Jiang Hou said. “Although he’s ruthless and overbearing, he wouldn’t dare offend you.”

The four-armed man shook his head, “If I step forward and Liu Yin Hou doesn’t give me face, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?”

“He doesn’t have the guts!” Jiu Jiang Hou said, “Brother Yanyu, you’re the direct disciple of the Emperor. How could he not give you face?”

The term “Emperor” is a special title, used only for the highest rulers of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. Every Emperor has unfathomable power, and the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom’s reputation… was built by the Emperors themselves.

Apart from the Lei Ting Ancient Kingdom, no other force dares to challenge the Emperor! Even the peak World Beast in the Tianmu Kingdom would be exterminated if it provoked the Emperor.

“Direct disciple of the Emperor?” The four-armed man seemed to recall something.

In the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, being accepted as a direct disciple by the Emperor was the pinnacle of his glory. Back then, he was full of ambition, even dreaming of becoming a God King in the future. But as endless epochs passed, he became increasingly insignificant.

Eventually, he chose to leave the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, building a city on this remote lake and living alone.

“I’m the weakest of the Emperor’s direct disciples, only at the peak of the Chaos Realm,” the four-armed man said self-deprecatingly, “In direct combat, I’m not confident I could defeat Liu Yin Hou. Jiu Jiang, I can’t help you.”

Jiu Jiang Hou said urgently, “Brother Yanyu, are you really so concerned about someone like Liu Yin Hou? How will you know if you can’t defeat him if you don’t fight? How can you grow stronger if you don’t fight?”

The four-armed man’s face darkened, “I told you to leave!”

Jiu Jiang Hou felt the world around him change, and when he could see clearly again, he was already back in Jiu Jiang Chaos State.

“Your formation skills are so high, I can’t believe Liu Yin Hou could beat you. But unfortunately, you’re too timid! No matter who asks, you refuse to leave your city,” Jiu Jiang Hou thought helplessly.

…

The four-armed man looked at the city model before him, picked up his carving knife, and resumed carving.

“When I become a God King, that will be the time for my return,” Yanyu thought as he focused on the city model, his most cherished creation. When this large city is perfectly carved, that will be the time when he achieves God King status.
