Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger

In the imperial capital, in Luo Shen’s cave.

"Marquis Chu Yuan came to visit? Or did he come in person?" Luo Shen couldn't believe his ears when he heard this. He looked at Chao Yong with doubts: "Are you sure it's Marquis Chu Yuan, and not Marquis Chu Yu or any other first-class marquis?"

He had taught Chu Yuanhou a severe lesson before, and no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think Chu Yuanhou was such a magnanimous person.

He even came to visit.

Is there something wrong?
After thinking for a while, Luo Shen asked, "Did Lord Chu Yuan say anything?"

Because he had just come out of retreat, Luo Shen had not yet looked at the communication token. He did not know that Marquis Chu Yuan had ever looked for Di Chuyu, nor did he know that Di Chuyu had clearly sent him the ins and outs of the matter through the guest token.

Chao Yong thought for a moment and said, "Then Chu Yuanhou said that his senior brother, Palace Master Yuanxiu, wants to host a banquet for you and discuss Taoism with you. He is visiting you to show respect to you."

"By the way, Marquis Chu Yuan also said that he had explained this matter to Marquis Chu Yu."

Luo Shen raised his eyebrows.

Palace Master Yuanxiu, this person's name is familiar to him.

In addition to him, there are other Chaos Lords who are beyond the level in the ancient country of Yanfeng. Among them, the Lord Yuanxiu is the most famous one. He is the direct disciple of the Lord of the 'Wanjie Kingdom', a first-class country on the Origin Continent.

The fact that the Wanjie Kingdom was able to become a first-rate force is somewhat similar to the Tianmu Kingdom.

It’s just that the Tianmu Kingdom is because of a top-level beast, while the Wanjie Kingdom is because of the Wanjie Lord. He is the one who truly stands at the top of the Origin Continent, and with the power of one person, he has made a country become a first-class force.

However, the Lord of All Realms was not strict with his disciples.

Even if you want to become a disciple of your own, you can also become a disciple of the Thunder Ancient Country or the Flame Wind Ancient Country at the same time. For example, the Lord of Yuanxiu Palace later became a disciple of a certain emperor.

"Boss, are we going?" Chao Yong asked.

Luo Shen glanced at this guy and said, "You usually don't care about anything, why do you suddenly care about this today? Whether I go to the banquet or not, shouldn't you be practicing well in your cave?"

Chao Yong chuckled, touched his head and said, "When Chu Yuanhou came, he brought suitable gifts to me and Ju Mang. Because of his gifts, Ju Mang broke through to the level of Chaos Lord. We should at least accept his kindness. Should we go and inform him?"

"Oh? Ju Mang has broken through to become the Chaos Lord?"

Luo Shen didn't really care about the fact that Chao Yong accepted the gift from Marquis Chu Yuan. After all, Marquis Chu Yuan was a highly respected first-class marquis. The fact that he was willing to put aside his pride and come to visit him in person showed his sincerity.

The reason why I punished the other party before.

Firstly, it was because the other party wanted to kill him, and secondly, studying the other party's divine body would indeed be of great benefit to his cultivation.

Now that his strength has improved further, even if Chu Yuanhou also breaks through to the Chaos Lord's transcendent level, he will not be his opponent. So why should Luo Shen keep holding on to him?

What he cared about was that Ju Mang had actually broken through to the level of Chaos Lord.

A long time ago, Ju Mang had already reached the peak level of Eternal True God and was only one step away from breaking through.

It's just that due to the opponent's identity as a strange beast, there is no suitable secret method to give him. In addition, he is stuck at the last step, which requires a flash of inspiration, so Luo Shen has to practice on his own.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity for his breakthrough fell on Chu Yuanhou.

Luo Shen smiled and said, "It seems like it's fate. Anyway, you can reply to him. I accept this discussion."

Although the path he cultivated was somewhat different from that of Palace Master Yuan Xiu and others who had achieved the Chaos Realm Transcendence by cultivating with the objects or blood of Hunyuan, and they were the norm for the vast majority of Chaos Lords who had reached the transcendent level on the Origin Continent, Luo Shen could also take this opportunity to see the difference between him and other Chaos Lords who had reached the transcendent level.

Imperial capital, Stargazing Palace!

This is the most famous banquet venue in the imperial capital of the ancient Yanfeng Kingdom. It is also the place where the founder of the ancient Yanfeng Kingdom first hosted a banquet for the thirteen emperors when he first established the ancient Yanfeng Kingdom and decided on the thirteen branch emperors.

The cost of the banquet held by Marquis Chu Yuan was naturally very high.

But when one looks at the guests of this banquet, two Chaos Lords who are extremely powerful and transcendent beings - the Great Sage of the Abyss and the Lord of Yuanxiu Palace, such a scale is understandable, and the more glorious it is, the better.

"Two Chaos Lords are discussing things at a transcendent level. This kind of scene is rare even in the Imperial Capital!"

"And I heard that it was Marquis Chu Yuan who hosted the banquet this time. In addition to Marquis Chu Luo and Marquis Chu Xiong, all the other first-class marquises also came."

"No way, didn't Marquis Chu Yuan suffer a great loss at the hands of the Great Sage of the Abyss some time ago? How could he be so shameless as to host a banquet for the Great Sage of the Abyss, and not invite Marquis Chu Luo and Marquis Chu Xiong? Is he planning to favor Marquis Chu Yu?"

Even ordinary people in the imperial capital have heard about the dispute between the emperor's sons, and it is also a topic of conversation in their spare time.

Even people with the lowest emotional intelligence can vaguely taste something.

After all, Marquis Chu Yuan and Marquis Chu Luo were once in the same boat. Now that Marquis Chu Yuan held a banquet, Marquis Chu Luo was not there, and neither was Marquis Chu Xiong. Instead, there was the Great Sage of the Abyss, who had a very bad relationship with him. It was really hard not to have second thoughts.

But this did not affect the liveliness of the banquet at all.

After all, it was a discussion between two Chaos Lords who were extremely powerful. In addition to the first-class marquises who were invited, there were also some second-class and third-class marquises in the imperial capital. They were also children of royal families, but their talents were not as good as those of the first-class marquises. Their fate would be to be sent out to defend one side in the future.

These marquises either wanted to have a chance to meet the two Chaos Lords, or to establish good relationships with top marquises such as Chu Yu and Chu Yuan. It was precisely because of their participation that the banquet became full of vitality.

"coming!"

"That's the Great Sage of the Abyss. He is indeed very powerful!"

When Luo Shen brought Di Chuyu into the main hall, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, everyone knew that the purpose of this banquet was to entertain the Great Sage of the Abyss. Those second- and third-class attendants who could only sit in the side halls were all looking forward to it, hoping to have a chance to establish some relationship with Luo Shen, which would be a great opportunity to soar to fame.

call!
The moment Luo Shen came in, Mansion Master Yuanxiu, who was considered half the master today, took the initiative to show up and gave Luo Shen enough face.

"Brother Abyss."

The Lord of Yuanxiu Palace smiled and bowed to Luo Shen: "I have heard of the great reputation of the Abyss Great Sage for a long time. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."

Luo Shen looked at the man in front of him, who was dressed in dark robes and vaguely resembled a transcendent and powerful Chaos Lord who operated the laws of heaven and earth. A smile also appeared on his face: "Master Yuan Xiu, I have long heard of your great name."

Compared with Palace Master Yuanxiu's realm in Taoism, Luo Shen seems relatively weaker, but his achievements in the divine body are also beyond the reach of Palace Master Yuanxiu.

Palace Master Yuanxiu could also clearly sense this.

The reason why Palace Master Yuanxiu was able to reach the transcendent level of the Lord of Chaos and display the vision of influencing the rules of heaven and earth with himself, which only the powerful God Kings could possess, was because of the strongest means of his cultivation, that Dark Palace Prison, which could imprison all things in the surrounding vast world in a single thought.

Although the two were just standing face to face, Palace Master Yuanxiu could clearly sense that Luo Shen, just standing there, was already much heavier than the vast world around him.

Although he had never tried it, Palace Master Yuan Xiu knew very well that it would be extremely difficult for him to drag the other party into the Dark Palace prison!
"It is true that there is no false reputation under a great name. His divine body is probably more powerful than many powerful divine kings."

Mansion Master Yuan Xiu had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show them. He had no intention of making a grudge with Luo Shen on this trip. He was just following his master's orders to have a contest with Luo Shen. It didn't matter who won or lost.

"Brother Shenyuan, please come in." "Please."

As the saying goes, a fancy sedan is carried by people. Since Lord Yuanxiu gave face, Luo Shen naturally knew how to give back and was also very polite.

The two walked into the main hall together.

The first-class marquises, second-class marquises, guest officials, and disciples of the Divine King, who had been chatting with their heads down in the hall, all stood up to greet them. They did not sit down again until Palace Master Yuan Xiu and Luo Shen took their seats.

"Let's have a feast."

As the organizer of the banquet, Marquis Chu Yuan gave the order.

Immediately, waiters came out and presented delicious dishes, fine wines, rare fruits, and precious and precious fruits. Those rare fruits were fine, but those who were qualified to sit in the main hall were all of high strength and status, so they would naturally not be bothered by such little things.

Mainly the delicious food.

Even Palace Master Yuanxiu praised it after tasting it.

Just looking at those plates of delicious food gave people the feeling that they were the essence of heaven and earth, so gorgeous and tempting that Luo Shen could feel the shock to his soul after just one bite. Even many rare treasures in heaven and earth did not have such an effect.

"it is good!"

Luo Shen exclaimed: "It really deserves to be the number one culinary artist in the imperial capital. This cooking skill is amazing!"

This time, Marquis Chu Yuan spent a huge sum of money to invite the only guest official in the imperial capital who entered the Chaos Lordship through his cooking skills. Although in terms of combat power, he is not much stronger than the Great Sage Liu Yu who was killed by Luo Shen, his cooking skills are considered good even in the entire Origin Continent.

Of course, delicious food, fine wine, and even singing and dancing are just appetizers.

Everyone knew that today's main course was a discussion between two Chaos Lords who were powerful beings of a transcendent level, so all the guests below were looking at them eagerly.

Palace Master Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is getting a little impatient waiting."

After saying that, he looked at Luo Shen who was standing beside him.

"Brother Abyss, I have cultivated for a long time and built a dark prison. Today, I would like to ask Brother Abyss for advice and prove something with the methods of the dark prison. What do you think, Brother Abyss?"

Hearing this, all the guests present sat up straight, because they knew that the climax of the day was about to come!
It was extremely difficult to see Chaos Lords and other powerful beings discussing the Dao in the past. Even if there were opportunities, they could not just watch from the sidelines. Fortunately, Palace Master Yuan Xiu and the Great Sage of the Abyss were generous enough to allow them to watch from the side.

"I have only been practicing for a short time, and I have only made some achievements in the way of the divine body. I will use this way of the divine body to compete with Palace Master Yuanxiu."

Luo Shen smiled.

Palace Master Yuan Xiu nodded and said, "In that case, Brother Shen Yuan, be careful."

After saying that, the slightly torn dark robe on Palace Master Yuan Xiu's body seemed like a broken dark world at this moment. Bits of dark sparks ignited from somewhere on the robe, and then quickly spread out, steaming in the main hall, and heading straight towards Luo Shen.

"This is the fire of the Dark Palace. It can be used to burn the divine bodies and souls of the prisoners in the Dark Palace."

The voice of Palace Master Yuanxiu was also following him like a shadow.

Since we are discussing the Dao, it is naturally impossible to treat it as a life-and-death battle and let the other party blindly guess our methods.

Watching the dark flame heading straight for the door, a blue-silver liquid quickly rose from Luo Shen's body and instantly transformed into a cage, trapping the dark flame inside.

Blue silver cage!

Seeing the familiar cage appear, Chu Yuanhou, who was watching on the side, changed his expression immediately, and recalled some unfriendly scenes in his mind.

Fortunately, Lord Yuanxiu of the main seat noticed what Chu Yuanhou was doing and gave him a warm smile. That smile seemed to have the power to dispel all darkness, and instantly made Chu Yuanhou recover.

He bowed to Palace Master Yuanxiu to show his gratitude.

Palace Master Yuanxiu smiled faintly.

Hidden strength and name.

The actions of the two were not noticed by many people because they were all attracted by the struggle between the blue silver cage and the dark flame. The dark flame sometimes turned into a raging fire dragon, violently crashing into the cage, and sometimes turned into a sea of ​​fire, burning the entire blue silver cage red.

"The Chaos Lords' methods of transcending levels are indeed extraordinary. The robes on these two can evolve into such powerful attacks. If they are aimed at us, I'm afraid we won't even be able to escape."

The one who spoke was a second-class marquis, a royal descendant at the top level of Chaos Lords.

This is not his flattery, but the Chaos Lord is a powerful being of a transcendent level. If he wants to target them, unless they practice the heaven-defying secret technique of Karma Escape, he will do the same as what Luo Shen did to Chu Yuanhou and his group that day, leaving them with nowhere to escape.

"I've heard that the Dark Fire of Lord Yuan Xiu is immortal and inextinguishable. Now it seems that it is indeed extremely ferocious, but I have never heard of the cage of the Great Sage of the Abyss. What kind of means can easily trap the Dark Fire?"

"I heard that Marquis Chu Yuan was trapped in this cage that day."

"It seems that it is not luck that the Great Sage of the Abyss was able to achieve Chaos Lord Transcendence. I have never even heard of such a method."

The first-class and second-class royal marquises, guests of the Chaos Realm, and direct disciples of the God King present all had extraordinary vision and realized the horror of the methods used by both sides.

The fire of the Dark Mansion is notorious. Most people at the peak of the Chaos Realm dare not resist it head-on. If they do, they will be burned into nothingness.

Although no one knows the methods of the Great Sage of the Abyss, it can be seen from the battle between it and the Fire of Darkness that this is a terrifying method that is no weaker than the Fire of Darkness. Even Chu Yuanhou, who is at the peak level of Chaos Overlord, cannot escape.

"Brother Abyss, I wonder if this is your secret technique?"

Palace Master Yuanxiu exclaimed.

He could sense that his Dark Fire was indeed unable to break free from the shackles of the cage.

He knows it too.

Although the fire of the Dark Palace is said to be immortal, it is impossible for anything to be immortal. Even the emperor can fall, let alone a secret method of cultivation.

But Luo Shen's silver-blue cage really opened his eyes.

"This is my method of imprisonment, called - Silver Blue Prison!"

Luo Shen smiled and said, "It's certainly inferior to the Dark Prison of Palace Master Yuan Xiu, but generally, even a Chaos Lord at the peak cannot escape from it. Only by practicing the heaven-defying secret technique of Karma Escape can one break free."

As he spoke, Luo Shen glanced at Chu Yuanhou subconsciously.
