Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger

Patriarch Yanfeng was actually very curious about Luo Shen.

A boss of his level has actually seen too many geniuses. He has even seen many strong men like Yuan. However, he has never seen a little guy like Luo Shen, who came out of the barren primitive universe area, who could improve his divine body to such a level in such a short time.

Moreover, he could see that Luo Shen's current divine body, which was comparable to that of the God King, was not yet his real limit, and there was still the possibility of further improvement.

If it weren't for this, Luo Shen's previous actions would not have been enough to attract his attention.

"This"

Luo Shen looked embarrassed.

Luo Shen naturally understood that ordinary excuses would not work for the ancestor of the ancient Yanfeng country who had lived for who knows how many years. However, once he told everything, it would be equivalent to exposing the system as well, which he could not accept.

For a moment I didn't know how to respond.

Seeing Luo Shen's embarrassed expression, the ancestor of Yanfeng naturally understood that this secret must be related to the secret of Luo Shen's growth.

So he waved his hand.

"Since it's inconvenient, then let's not talk about it. I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Then the Flame Wind Ancestor looked at Luo Shen again, the familiar pressure fell on his shoulders again, his eyes slightly fixed: "I will ask you one last time about becoming my disciple, are you willing to become my disciple? Once you become my disciple, you and I will be entangled in cause and effect in the future, and maybe some of my great enemies will also set their sights on you."

In the Origin Continent, the master-disciple relationship is no less than that of blood relatives, and there is a great cause and effect relationship.

Even if one practices the secret art of cause and effect, one cannot completely sever the cause and effect brought about by this relationship. After all, Ancestor Yanfeng is the one who truly stands at the top of the Origin Continent. Only strong men who are also ancestors of ancient countries can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Although such strong men can bring protection, the cause and effect they bring are enough to crush many people.

This is also the reason why the Yanfeng Ancestor asked again and again.

But since Luo Shen had already made up his mind and came to the Ancestral Palace, how could he suddenly change his mind? He immediately knelt down and bowed his head to the ground, paying homage to his master: "Disciple Luo Shen, hello to the master!"

The Yanfeng Ancestor accepted Luo Shen's gift with a smile.

At the same time, Luo Shen and the Ancestor of Yanfeng both clearly felt that there seemed to be some invisible connection entangled with each other, that is, the intertwined cause and effect.

"From today on, you are my registered disciple. When you decide to step into the God King realm, I will officially announce to the public that you are my direct disciple." Ancestor Yanfeng said, "I see that you are entangled in some karma. Do you need a teacher to help you solve it?"

After becoming the disciple, the two sides were entangled in cause and effect, so naturally, the ancestor of Yanfeng could easily see through the cause and effect that Luo Shen was carrying.

I also saw the bond of swearing by the soul.

Luo Shen thought about it, and finally said respectfully: "Teacher, I can handle it, so please don't worry about it." In fact, with his current divine body strength, unless he is facing the founding king of Shangshi Kingdom, other gods will never be able to keep him.

Even if he faced the King of the Food Kingdom, he was confident that he could escape with his life.

In this case, why bother asking Ancestor Yanfeng for help? Just use this as motivation for your own practice. After all, only with pressure will there be motivation to move forward, so as not to lose sight of your goal.

The Flame Wind Ancestor nodded.

He already knew who the object of Luo Shen's karmic entanglement was, and also knew the other party's strength. He knew that the other party could not completely kill Luo Shen now. Since Luo Shen wanted to solve it himself, then let Luo Shen solve it himself. It was not bad to have a God King enemy as a whetstone.

"But I will help you to remove the bondage of this soul oath first, so that you don't have to worry about it."

As he spoke, the Flame Wind Ancestor clenched his hands.

In an instant, Luo Shen felt the void around him suddenly tighten. Even though his divine body was as strong as Luo Shen's, and even though he had practiced the Twelve Heaven-Slashing Styles and his strength had greatly increased, he still had no ability to resist.

"Don't struggle."

The faint voice of the Flame Wind Ancestor reached his ears, making Luo Shen feel at ease instantly.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"

A clear and pleasant sound of metal colliding rang out from the void, causing Luo Shen to look sideways. There was nothing around him, so why was there such a sound? Luo Shen couldn't understand.

But soon, he understood.

Because countless chains extended from the void, green, red, purple, white, blue, black, and other colors and chains of different sizes were intertwined with each other, but they all extended to Luo Shen's body in the end. However, even with so many chains on his back, Luo Shen did not feel any discomfort.

"Teacher, what is this?"

Luo Shen couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Ancestor of Yanfeng and asked, "Is this the cause and effect between me and the others?"

The Flame Wind Ancestor did not answer Luo Shen's question, but instead said something unrelated: "As long as you are alive, there will be cause and effect. You eat other creatures to survive, and you have cause and effect with these creatures. You absorb the chaotic airflow to practice, and you have cause and effect with the entire chaos. However, most of these causes and effects are invalid causes and effects."

Seeing that Luo Shen was a little confused, Yanfeng Ancestor had to explain in more detail.

"The chaotic airflow was swallowed up, and although it has a cause and effect relationship with you, because the chaotic airflow is constantly generated and dissipated, even if you and I do not absorb it, it will eventually dissipate or become energy derived from other lives. So although this cause and effect occurs, it will not leave any impression on you."

"For example, if you eat another creature to fill your stomach, although from the perspective of cause and effect, you have a cause and effect relationship with that creature, but because the object of the cause and effect has already perished, this cause and effect will not affect you."

“But nothing is absolute.”

The Flame Wind Ancestor said: "If the creature you eat happens to have a soul, and its soul happens to pass through the reincarnation tunnel, and it happens to meet the conditions for reincarnation, then the cause and effect will be transferred to the reincarnated life."

"Although the probability of this happening is so small that it is almost impossible to happen, there are endless coincidences in the world, and you never know when such a coincidence will occur."

Luo Shen nodded, not quite understanding.

There are too many things to understand about the Great Way of Cause and Effect. Even though he has begun to try to understand the Great Way of Cause and Effect, he still has to major in the Great Way of Life Origin and the Great Way of Destruction Origin. In addition, cultivating the divine body will take him a lot of time, so he only knows a little bit about the Great Way of Cause and Effect.

What the Yanfeng Ancestor said was beyond Luo Shen's knowledge.

"But this is not important. You just need to know that these chains extending from the void are all the causes and effects that you have come into contact with in the original universe and on the origin continent."

As he spoke, the Flame Wind Ancestor reached out and casually fiddled with a chain.

"Ling ring ring~"

Suddenly, the chain made a rapid buzzing sound, and it looked like it was about to lose its connection and completely collapse. Fortunately, the Ancestor of Flame Wind did not take any further action, and the chain finally returned to calm.

"These causes and effects are all related to you. With your strength, you can resolve most of them."

"Only this one." The Ancestor of Yanfeng fiddled with the countless chains in the void at random, and finally pulled out a chain as black as ink. This chain led to the deep darkness. Just looking at it made Luo Shen feel uncomfortable, and his powerful soul let out a slight groan and wail.

"This is the chain of cause and effect that you swore on your soul."

"Although I don't know how you got together with that kid from Jin State, and I don't know the circumstances under which you made this oath, as your teacher, I naturally cannot watch you being bound by such a contract."

A ball of transparent flame suddenly rose from the hand of the Flame Wind Ancestor who was holding the black chain.

As soon as this ball of fire appeared, it spread all the way up along the black chain and went straight into the endless void, while the other end burned all the way to Luo Shen, instantly igniting Luo Shen's entire body.

But Luo Shen didn't feel any pain at all, and even when being burned by the flames, he felt as if his whole soul was relaxed.

"Kakaka~"

Along with a series of crisp sounds, in front of Luo Shen's surprised eyes, the black chain that extended from the void and had been entangled around his soul suddenly broke into pieces and finally turned into nothingness.

As the black chain shattered, the oath that Luo Shen could sense before had disappeared.

at the same time.

The King of Shi, who was in Shi State and was studying how to invade Yu State and take over the entire territory of Yu State, suddenly felt a shock all over his body, as if some cause and effect related to him had disappeared.

"Hey, what's going on?"

The King of Food Nation had a puzzled expression on his face: "This feeling, could it be that one of my great enemies has been completely destroyed?"

Although it is a passive chain, the cause and effect on Luo Shen's side will dissipate, and the cause and effect chain on the King of Food will also dissipate. Fortunately, due to the intervention of the ancestor of the ancient Yanfeng Kingdom, no matter how hard the King of Food studies, he can never guess that in the distant imperial capital of the ancient Yanfeng Kingdom, there is actually a Chaos Lord who is at odds with him because of the destroyed Jin Kingdom.

"That's fine."

The King of Food Country couldn't figure it out so he didn't think about it. After all, the disappearance of cause and effect meant that the other party was reincarnated, or completely destroyed. In short, the cause and effect of the other party's previous identity and his enmity had disappeared, and it had nothing to do with him.

Even if he were to be reborn again, it would take an unknown amount of time for him to return to his peak state.

Moreover, since the other party didn't dare to cause trouble for him before, it was obviously because he was not as strong as him. Even if he returned to his peak, he would not be able to do anything to him, so there was no need to worry.

The reason why he could make the Food Kingdom grow to this extent in a short period of time was because of his strength.

So what if I have enemies?

As long as his power continues to increase, even if those gods whose countries have been destroyed come back again, they will not be his opponents at all. The top priority now is to take over all the territory of Yu State.

Otherwise, once the ruler of the Yu State recovers, it will be difficult to resolve.

"I have broken your soul oath for you. How you deal with the next matter is your own choice."

The Flame Wind Ancestor looked at Luo Shen and said, "Since you have become my disciple, even though you are still just a nominal disciple, I will give you a gift as a gift. I saw that you exchanged the first volume of "The Twelve Heaven-Slaying Styles" before, so I will exchange this first gift for this inheritance."

"If you have mastered the first volume completely, you can go to the Heritage Hall to obtain the subsequent inheritance."

"If you plan to switch to other inheritances, as long as you can completely master the first volume, you can get the subsequent inheritances for free."

Ancestor Yanfeng said: "Of course, these inheritances can only be obtained at the God King stage. The inheritance beyond the God King stage cannot be given to you for free. Your senior brothers also relied on their own merit points to exchange for subsequent inheritances, and you are no exception."

Luo Shen nodded.

As long as he can completely practice the first volume, he will be able to obtain all the contents of the subsequent inheritance in the God King stage. This is already a huge benefit. For Luo Shen now, it is like a pie in the sky.

You should know that the first volume of the Twelve Heaven-Slaying Styles that Luo Shen exchanged requires more than 100,000 merit points. The second volume, which represents the inheritance of the second level of the God King, requires more merit points, around 8 million. The third level, which represents the inheritance of the ultimate realm of the God King, requires even more merit points.

It's often in the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, which is definitely not something Luo Shen can afford now.

Even those guests at the level of God King need to risk their lives for the ancient country of Yanfeng in order to exchange for these inheritances.

And now, Luo Shen only needs to reach a certain level to get it for free!

If I tell this to others, I'm afraid a lot of people will be jealous.

Sure enough, the ancestor’s disciples are extraordinary, even though the title of this disciple is prefixed with “name”.

"The next step is the second gift."

The gift that Yanfeng Ancestor mentioned earlier was just one of them, and now he is talking about the second one: "I know that your divine body has reached the level of perfection. Even I don't have anything that can help you improve it."

As he spoke, Ancestor Yanfeng took out a stone box.

Opening it casually, ten milky white crystals, colorless and odorless, were revealed inside.

"This is the Hunyuan Spirit Crystal!"

The ancestor of Yanfeng introduced: "This is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It has a miraculous effect on nurturing the soul, and it can improve your degree of conformity with the supreme rules and improve your understanding. In the future, you will be able to observe and practice the origin of the great way more easily."

"Don't underestimate the fact that there are only ten of them, but they were not easy to come by. They were obtained after your teacher and I fought a powerful enemy for a long time outside the source world."

"I'll tell you in secret."

"Emperor Chu has been thinking about my Hunyuan Spirit Crystal. You have to use it up quickly. Otherwise, if he finds out, I don't know how he will torture me. I am old and cannot stand such torture."

As he spoke, the Flame Wind Ancestor blinked.

Suddenly, the image of the Yanfeng ancestor in Luo Shen's mind changed. It was no longer a lofty paper man, but a three-dimensional, flesh-and-blood person who could joke with his disciples and was amiable.

"Okay, teacher. I will use it as soon as possible and won't let the Emperor torment you."

Luo Shen and the Ancestor of Yanfeng looked at each other, and they both laughed out loud in unison. For a moment, the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The two laughed for a while, and Ancestor Yanfeng stopped laughing first and said, "For the third gift, I see that you are good at using a knife, so I will use it on your weapon."

"Take out your weapon and show it to me." (End of this chapter)
