Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 74: The Gift from the Lord of Yuguo

Huyang City, Chaos Armor 913 Cave Mansion.

Luo Feng had specially invited the Eternal True God ‘Black Butcher’ to personally cook and prepare a lavish feast to entertain Yuguo Lord’s daughter, ‘Yu Shui Tianyu.’ Yu Shui Tianyu was of noble status and represented a Divine King, so Luo Feng naturally had to be formal enough.

“The cuisine of Huyang City has a unique flavor,” Yu Shui Tianyu, dressed in armor, with her already lush hair braided into hundreds of braids, grabbed a large piece of meat that Black Butcher excelled in and ate heartily.

“Huyang City Lord, I think the food here at Divine Lord Luo He’s place is better than that at your City Lord’s Mansion!”

“Hahaha.” The accompanying Huyang City Lord laughed and said, “In the entire Huyang City, only Black Butcher from the Fire Realm Restaurant has reached the level of an Eternal True God in the culinary arts. Your Highness, your visit to the City Lord’s Mansion was too sudden, and there was no time to invite Black Butcher.”

Luo Feng nodded, “Black Butcher’s culinary skills are indeed quite good.”

“Very much to my taste, eating is particularly enjoyable!” Yu Shui Tianyu looked at Luo Feng, “Divine Lord Luo He, could you invite Black Butcher to join us?”

“Of course!”

Luo Feng nodded, and immediately sent a transmission to summon Black Butcher, who was resting in the cave mansion after preparing last night’s dishes.

Black Butcher, knowing the identity of today’s guest, was a bit reserved when he entered. After all, she was the daughter of Yuguo Lord, who had single-handedly established a powerful nation that was considered second-tier in the entire Origin Continent, making him quite extraordinary.

In terms of individual strength, Yuguo Lord was also considered very powerful in the Origin Continent.

His daughter’s status was comparable to some high-level members of the Ancient Flame Kingdom.

Even some Chaos Overlords would not neglect this Princess Yu Shui Tianyu.

“Greetings to all!” Black Butcher greeted respectfully.

“Are you Black Butcher?” Yu Shui Tianyu’s eyes lit up, “Your culinary skills are quite good, I like it very much. Would you be willing to go to the capital and serve as a chef in my mansion?”

Black Butcher was taken aback.

He had come to help Divine Lord Luo He prepare a feast and was unexpectedly invited by Yuguo Lord’s daughter to the capital?

“Divine Lord Luo He, do you mind if I take your chef?” Yu Shui Tianyu looked at Luo Feng.

“He runs the Fire Realm Restaurant, he’s not my chef!” Luo Feng smiled, “If he can go to the capital, it will be a broader future for him. How could I mind?”

Recently, Luo Feng had been immersed in cultivation and hadn’t visited the Fire Realm Restaurant or the Dream Flower Pavilion for a long time.

“My mansion currently has only one head chef. You will be the second head chef I invite. Don’t worry, once you arrive, you will have your own cave mansion, and the cultivation resources you receive will far exceed what you get in Huyang City.” Yu Shui Tianyu said indifferently.

As the daughter of the Lord, the resources bestowed upon her by the Lord far exceeded the imagination of many Eternal True Gods.

“It is my honor to be invited by Your Highness. I am naturally willing!” After some thought, Black Butcher made a decisive decision.

Having crossed the cycle of reincarnation to arrive at the Origin Continent and struggled to this day, a great opportunity now lay before him, and he naturally had to seize it. Moreover, Huyang City, being a border city, had increasing conflicts between Shiguo and Yuguo recently. Black Butcher was somewhat worried about being caught in the conflict. Given the chance to go to the capital, he was naturally willing.

“Black Butcher, congratulations!”

Luo Feng smiled, “It was the Divine Lord who gave me this opportunity.”

Black Butcher was also quite grateful, fully aware of the gap between himself and Divine Lord Luo He.

He had seized the opportunity to become the chef of Princess Yu Shui Tianyu, while Divine Lord Luo He was someone the princess visited personally.

Yu Shui Tianyu laughed heartily, “Indeed, we must thank Divine Lord Luo He for allowing me to discover Black Butcher. Black Butcher, go make your arrangements. Tomorrow, I will leave Huyang City for the capital!”

“Yes!” Black Butcher respectfully complied and then departed.

“Congratulations to Your Highness for discovering a great chef in Huyang City,” the City Lord said.

“There are indeed some who become Eternal True Gods through culinary arts. But those who suit my taste are rare.” Yu Shui Tianyu ate the meat heartily, feeling quite pleased.

As for those more powerful, who could become Chaos Overlords through culinary arts?

It was impossible for them to be chefs for a princess. After all, any Chaos Overlord deserved respect from even a Divine King.

“Let’s get down to business!” Yu Shui Tianyu looked at Luo Feng, “Divine Lord Luo He, my father was very pleased to hear about you. After all, an Eternal True God with such potential has emerged in Yuguo territory. Moreover, the Divine Lord helped our Yuguo by eliminating some of Shiguo’s minions. My father has ordered me to bring you a gift!”

“Thank you, Your Highness, and please convey my gratitude to the Divine King!” Luo Feng said sincerely.

Yu Shui Tianyu turned her hand and produced a deep purple wooden box, which flew to Luo Feng.

“Divine Lord, open it and have a look!” Yu Shui Tianyu said.

Luo Feng opened the box and saw a light green leaf inside, with countless veins on its surface, which glowed with a restrained luster.

It even caused the surrounding void to ripple and distort.

“Quickly close the box!” Yu Shui Tianyu said, “This is a leaf from the just-matured ‘Xu Yan Mother Tree.’ This wooden box is specially refined to preserve the leaf for a longer period. If left outside, this leaf would completely wither and lose its function within one epoch. However, in the box, its preservation period is extended several times over.”

“A leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree?” Luo Feng’s heart moved.

He had read about it in his master’s intelligence and the intelligence of the Undying River of the Broken Eastern River lineage.

Such a rare treasure couldn’t be bought; it had long been divided among the top beings of the Origin Continent.

“Every time the leaves of the Xu Yan Mother Tree mature, some are sent to my father!” Yu Shui Tianyu smiled, “My father bestows them upon Chaos Overlords and his subordinates.”

“And this one, which has just matured, is the longest-lasting.”

“Divine Lord, have you heard of how to use it?” Yu Shui Tianyu asked.

“I heard it is related to the chaos layer? I don’t know much,” Luo Feng said.

Yu Shui Tianyu explained, “Space is thick. Even if some strong people can tear space apart, they generally only cut through the surface layer of space.”

“Space is extremely thick, containing thousands of layers. To completely break through all space layers is to break free from the cage!”

Yu Shui Tianyu said, “Among the many layers of space, there is one called the chaos layer.”

“The chaos layer contains infinite chaos energy. The so-called chaos ruins are the connections between the chaos layer and our normal living space.”

Yu Shui Tianyu continued.

Luo Feng listened attentively.

“You only need to carry the leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree with you, and you can travel in reverse through the chaos ruins to the chaos layer.” Yu Shui Tianyu said.

“Normal cultivators are repelled, but with the leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree, you can roam freely in the chaos layer!”

“Practicing there will greatly aid your comprehension of chaos laws.”

Yu Shui Tianyu smiled, “With your deep accumulation in various aspects, practicing in the chaos layer might allow you to comprehend the chaos laws!”

“Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness!” Luo Feng said.

“This leaf is merely a token of my father’s appreciation for you and a reward for your previous actions against Shiguo’s minions!” Yu Shui Tianyu said, “My father also intends to accept you as his disciple. If you are willing, you can go to the capital to undergo the tests. If you pass the three tests, you can become his disciple!”

“Congratulations, Brother Luo He, this is a great opportunity!” The City Lord of Huyang City immediately said.

Their position as a branch of the royal family naturally couldn’t compare to the personal disciples of Yuguo Lord.

“All disciples my father accepts must pass the three tests!” Yu Shui Tianyu said.

“If you succeed in becoming his disciple, the resources you receive will far exceed this leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree. If you become a Chaos Overlord in the future, my father can even help you refine your body!”

Luo Feng listened.

Like undergoing three body refinements, body refining and refining weaponry were similar. If there was a particularly trusted person, they could be asked to refine one’s body.

For example, if Yuguo Lord took action, the body would naturally be refined to be particularly powerful.

“I will think about it!”

Luo Feng said, “And thank you, Your Highness, and the Divine King!”

Yu Shui Tianyu frowned slightly but then smiled, “It seems Brother Luo He has another teacher.”

In the Origin

Continent, the master-disciple relationship was no less than that of father and son. After all, the master imparted inheritance, provided resources, guidance, and led the way.

This was more considerate than a father.

Similarly, disciples must repay their master.

If a disciple betrayed their master, it would cause public outrage and be despised by major forces.

“Brother Luo He, this opportunity cannot be missed!” the City Lord of Huyang City reminded.

“No need to force it. My father just has a heart for talent,” Yu Shui Tianyu said.

For Yuguo Lord, having a few more or fewer disciples didn’t make much difference.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Luo Feng raised his glass.

Yu Shui Tianyu also smiled and raised her glass. Even if they didn’t become fellow disciples, they were still friends.

For such a highly potential cultivator, who might one day reach the chaos realm, Yu Shui Tianyu was still willing to befriend him.

After the banquet, Yu Shui Tianyu and the City Lord of Huyang City left.

Luo Feng personally saw them off at the cave mansion entrance.

“Becoming a disciple? Becoming a disciple means being completely bound!”

Luo Feng was very clear about this.

Previously, the Vice Pavilion Master of Yan Feng Pavilion repeatedly warned him not to rely on Yuguo to avoid being unable to leave in the future.

The solicitation of Yuguo Lord, the solicitation of the Emperor Chu lineage of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, anyone with a bit of insight knew which to choose.

As long as one reached the chaos realm, most lords would be willing to recruit them.

But an ordinary chaos realm cultivator could not become a guest of the Emperor Chu lineage of the Ancient Flame Kingdom.

“Going to the capital of Yuguo, to Yuguo Lord, I am dispensable.”

“In the future, going to the Ancient Flame Kingdom, to Di Chu Yu, I would be an important aide.”

Luo Feng looked at the deep purple wooden box, “But I still have to thank Yuguo Lord.”

Luo Feng was still very pleased with the leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree.

It was of great help to him.

That night, Luo Feng left a Divine Power Incarnation, instructed Morosa and Moyu Qingyan, and then went alone to the chaos ruins in the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Brother Luo He, this is the chaos ruins!”

The City Lord of Huyang City personally led the way.

Luo Feng looked ahead.

Ahead, the void had a twisted spatial hole, like water pouring down, with endless chaos energy flowing out.

When it emerged, it naturally began to condense into chaos crystals.

Some even seeped into the surrounding soil and rocks, forming chaos stones.

“The infinite chaos energy of the chaos layer, once it enters our normal living world, will condense into a solid state.” The City Lord of Huyang City said, “Thus, we have chaos crystals and chaos stones.”

Luo Feng nodded, “Indeed, it’s marvelous.”

Around the chaos ruins, there were also some Void True Gods responsible for cutting the chaos crystals into fixed-sized blocks, stacking them into piles.

They all greeted the City Lord of Huyang City, who was personally accompanying Divine Lord Luo He.

“It’s Divine Lord Luo He!”

“Divine Lord Luo He is here!”

These Void True Gods knew that the most powerful figure in Huyang City was now Divine Lord Luo He.

“Thank you, City Lord!” Luo Feng smiled, “I will now enter the chaos layer!”

“After entering, remember the path so you can return the same way!” The City Lord of Huyang City smiled.

“I have also instructed that from now on, you can enter the chaos ruins at any time!”

“Thanks!”

Luo Feng nodded and then flew directly towards the void hole.

Against the massive flow of chaos energy, he flew into the void hole.
