Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 805

"How is it, City Lord? Do you feel it's working?" Emperor Wufeng inquired.

He wasn't sure if the Seven Bell Tower would be effective against a powerful cultivator like the Chaos City Lord, given his strength; it couldn't be judged by common sense.

"effect!"

Lu Yunhe carefully considered the clone he was currently in within the Seven Bell Tower. While his thinking speed was indeed a bit faster, it was only slightly faster.

In particular, Lu Yunhe's entanglement in the soul link was extremely strong, with many souls in a completely parallel state.

Although the Seven Bell Tower has some use, it seems to be of a lower level and cannot fully unleash his soul potential. After all, there are some things that even his own soul cannot bear.

As for the triggering of the destruction of the original path, it's hard to say whether it was a coincidence or the effect of the Seven Bell Pagoda.

However, the fact that it could improve his soul and thinking, even if not by much, is enough to prove the value of this treasure.

For the indigenous people, this treasure can only help them to comprehend the bloodline within their bodies.

For cultivators, it is of much greater help, having some effect on them, and even greater effect on others, even on invincible beings. It far surpasses the likes of the Burning Heart Divine Tree and the Bodhi Divine Tree, and is worthy of being the number one tranquil treasure of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.

This treasure is best suited for cultivators; giving it to the people of Broken Tooth Mountain would be a waste.

Most importantly, this wondrous treasure was clearly not born from the Broken Tooth Mountains themselves, so its origin is self-evident.

For a moment, Lu Yunhe was tempted to make a move, but since Emperor Wufeng had already made such a gesture, he couldn't easily take action and could only suppress his emotions.

"Many of the treasures in the Broken Tooth Mountains are useful to the natives and the Deathly Clan, especially those not naturally formed. They probably need to fall into the hands of cultivators to be transformed from the rotten into the miraculous," Lu Yunhe thought to himself.

Therefore, it would require cultivators and the creatures in the Broken Tooth Mountains to compete for and reclaim these treasures.

Putting everything else aside, if this Seven Bell Pagoda were to fall into the hands of a cultivator, even those invincible beings of the universe could probably advance further and truly reach the level of emperors.

To become an invincible being, and having been nurtured by the supreme treasure, one truly possesses the qualifications.

Lu Yunhe thought about it a lot, but this was a matter for all cultivators on the entire Realm Heart Continent, so he didn't need to take on everything himself.

Being able to establish an outpost directly in the native world is already a major step forward for the entire Realmheart Continent.

"It was somewhat helpful. Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Lu Yunhe bowed to Emperor Wufeng beside him.

"Haha, as long as it's useful to the city lord, that's fine," Emperor Wufeng laughed.

After all, you want to do the other party a favor, but if it doesn't work, then you're in trouble.

"After the city lord finishes his seclusion, don't forget to have another chat with me," Emperor Wufeng said impatiently.

It's just unknown how much stronger Chaos City will become after this seclusion ends.

“This doesn’t have to end after my seclusion. If Your Majesty is willing, I’m always ready to accompany you,” Lu Yunhe said generously.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wufeng was somewhat surprised and said, "It seems that the city lord's soul power is stronger than I imagined."

Emperor Wufeng had used the Seven Bell Tower before, so he naturally understood that state of tranquility.

However, it's terrifying that someone could still spare the energy to fight him under such circumstances.

Emperor Wufeng did not believe that the Lord of Chaos City would abandon his cultivation just to fight him.

This discovery further solidified Emperor Wufeng's resolve to befriend him.

At this level, the strength of one's soul power can almost reflect one's aptitude and future potential.

Because with the strength of a cosmic god or even an emperor, they have enough ability to realize their potential; often, it's just a matter of how much time it takes.

Unlike the initial stages of cultivation, which heavily rely on physical aptitude and the external environment.

Just like Earth in the primitive universe, if it hadn't been fully integrated with the outside universe, it would have been just a slightly different planetary civilization.

It is utterly impossible to express the potential of the mind and soul, or even to the point of exaggerating it to occupy half of the entire human elite.

"Beihe, are you worried about going against such a cultivator with extraordinary potential?" Emperor Wufeng chuckled to himself.

"Perfect timing. I also have some questions about swordsmanship that I'd like to ask the city lord for advice on, but there's no need for you to take action this time," Emperor Wufeng said with a smile, also inviting the eight divine generals to join in and see if they could gain any insights.

These eight divine generals were all extremely loyal to him, so naturally he didn't want to let them miss out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, City Lord!"

The eight divine generals quickly replied that it was a rare opportunity to have such a close and personal exchange with the two great emperors.

Especially since one of them is a cultivator renowned for his profound understanding of spiritual attainments, such encounters are even more rare and precious.

……

Northern River World!

"Your Majesty, the Lord of Chaos City has gone to the Witch Wind World," General Wind and Smoke reported to Emperor Beihe.

The Northern River forces have completely broken ties with the Free Alliance, and both sides have engaged in war without any scruples.

Therefore, Fengyan Shenjiang, who was in charge of intelligence work, would naturally pay attention to the leader of the Freedom Alliance.

"Emperor Wufeng, the Seven Bell Tower!" Emperor Beihe murmured. This treasure was the most famous in the Wufeng world, and he himself had used it.

"It seems the Lord of Chaos City isn't content to be left out."

Emperor Beihe quickly understood the Chaos City Lord's goal, and he believed that Emperor Wufeng would also not refuse to borrow it.

Even the Great Emperor Beihe didn't know what kind of magical power a powerful spiritual cultivation treasure would unleash when combined with a cultivator's realm.

Having fought against the Lord of Chaos City before, Emperor Beihe naturally understood the other party's potential, and felt immense pressure.

"Your Majesty, is there anything we can do?" Fengyan asked in a low voice.

"Need not!"

Emperor Beihe shook his head, a sense of pressure and urgency washing over him.

However, he was not afraid of this emotion. On the contrary, as someone who had risen step by step to become an emperor, this behavior only aroused his sense of challenge.

He, Beihe, was destined to face the Supreme Being directly; how could he possibly be afraid of such a trivial matter?

"Wind and smoke..."

Even so, the Northern River Emperor still made arrangements to gather as many useful resources as possible, even if it only improved the situation by one point, which was crucial at this time.

"Yes!" Fengyan Shenjiang took his leave immediately after receiving the order.

"Lord of Chaos City!"

The Great Emperor of the Northern River murmured, his aura rising and falling, exuding a terrifying presence.

……

Lu Yunhe arranged for his clone to go into seclusion in the Seven Bell Tower. After his main battle clone communicated with Emperor Wufeng several times, it left the Wufeng World and returned to the floating island.

This time, Lu Yunhe's intelligence was even clearer.

When Emperor Wufeng learned that Lu Yunhe wanted to find low-level Chaos Origin life forms, he generously handed over information about Chaos Origin life forms from his forces to Lu Yunhe.

Compared to the scattered records in the Free Alliance, the information held by the Emperor-level forces is obviously more detailed. The former only has one source left, so it is indeed possible to arrange for someone to help him confirm it.

After all, this information was encountered a long time ago, and no one had specifically searched for these low-level chaotic life forms before.

With this information, Lu Yunhe successively found many low-level Chaos Origin life forms, extracting their bones and tendons, and even their corpses, refining them into supreme treasures.

Throughout the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, although Lu Yunhe did not know exactly how many low-level Chaos Origin life forms Yuan had released, there were eight late-stage Emperor-level beings alone, and the number below that was probably not small either.

Lu Yunhe was busy on the floating island, while the cultivators in the Free Alliance were a little numb looking at the newly added supreme treasures on the exchange list.

The creation of every supreme treasure almost always means the death of a royal-level expert.

Unfortunately, so far, no cultivator in the Free Alliance has been able to accumulate enough merit to exchange for the most powerful secret treasure.

The Northern River forces and the Free Alliance have been engaged in a protracted tug-of-war, with the former attacking and the latter defending.

While cultivators can barely participate, they shouldn't expect to make any significant contributions; they can only accumulate knowledge little by little.

After the initial probing confirmed that the rumors about the Chaos Ancient Kingdom were true, many restless cosmic gods immediately came to the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.

The resources of the Heart Continent in the natural world are abundant, but that is in comparison to other source worlds. Compared to the Broken Tooth Mountains, it can only be described as "poor".

Various precious resources, and even ultimate treasures, were laid out openly, making it even more attractive than the opening of the Realm Heart Divine Palace.

In order to gain access to the Realm Heart Divine Art, the six ancient kingdoms all go through a lot of trouble, and all for the sake of just one opportunity.

Now, this opportunity is clearly laid out here, naturally attracting numerous cosmic gods.

Especially the supreme treasure, although it is not as good as the ultimate treasure according to the description, the key is that it is actually placed there and can be exchanged by people, and there are more than one or two of them.

I originally thought that such a treasure would only be the exclusive property of the Chaos Ancient Kingdom, but I never expected that it would be brought out so openly.

If one cannot find the supreme treasure, then seeking the most powerful treasure is still extremely tempting for a cosmic god.

The allure of obtaining the ultimate treasure—power comparable to the pinnacle of a cosmic god, allowing one to remain calm and composed even when facing invincible beings—is undeniable…

Most of the ultimate-level Cosmic Gods also chose to come to the Broken Tooth Mountains.

At this level, the power they have built can no longer affect their pursuit of the Dao and strength.

Even invincible beings have their eyes on the most powerful treasures, but for the time being, the exchange privileges are not open to invincible beings.

After all, this was prepared by Lu Yunhe for the Cosmic Gods of the Realm Heart Continent, and he wouldn't let those invincible beings reap the benefits.

At this moment, those closest to exchanging for the ultimate treasure are several Ultimate Realm experts and Venerable Lords.

These people were also putting in a lot of effort to earn merit, after all, the number of supreme treasures was probably limited, and what if they ran out after too long? Or what if the treasure they were compatible with was exchanged for by someone else? These were all things they needed to consider.

In this process, those who achieved the best results were actually the ultimate realms of the demons.

As a demon lord, he had no scruples about the situation in the Realm Heart Continent, let alone in the Broken Tooth Mountains, where he was even more unscrupulous, using the most insidious methods to deal with his enemies.

Sometimes even the natives on the Freedom Alliance side couldn't stand it anymore and hoped that Lu Yunhe could restrain him.

After all, the war between the Free Alliance and the Northern River forces was an internal matter, and the introduction of cultivators already put immense pressure on them.

If these demons completely ruin the reputation of the Free Alliance, it won't be a good thing for them either. It doesn't matter to the cultivators, they still have to live in the Broken Tooth Mountains.

Taking into account the attitude within the alliance, Lu Yunhe also made appropriate adjustments to the calculation of merits, which did not cause any turmoil.

One great advantage of possessing great power is that when a strong person is willing to reason with you, you'd better respect them obediently.

Otherwise, then we'll have to resort to unreasonable methods...

Lu Yunhe paid only a little attention to the development of cultivators in the Free Alliance, and then didn't take it to heart.

Their strength is what it is; they only have this many people. Any problems can be fixed at any time. They can't cause any big waves.

Because of the Freedom Alliance, all the conflicts between cultivators, especially the cosmic gods, have been diverted.
