Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

The shock brought by Chen Yuan

As soon as Chen Yuan uttered these words, the six lords in the hall immediately turned their gazes to him.

Chen Yuan remained calm and nodded slightly to the other lords.

"Brother Yuan, you are a senior cultivator, so I shouldn't offend you."

Jin said calmly, "But the position of lord is extraordinary. We can all see that although Chen Yuan's life force is strong, he is not yet at the level of lord. At most, he can only be considered a rather troublesome world-class Chaos Source."

"With such strength, it's probably not suitable for him to become the eighth lord in the cultivator camp."

"I also think this matter is debatable," Lord "Naigu" added, then turned to Chen Yuan: "Of course, I'm not targeting you, I'm just stating the facts."

"Chen Yuan, I know you have extraordinary potential and may have a great opportunity to join us in the future, but not now."

"You are still too weak to shoulder the responsibilities of a lord."

"I understand what you mean, Naigu." Chen Yuan remained calm and smiled. "But Brother Yuan hasn't finished yet, why don't you continue listening?"

A strange light flashed in Naigu's eyes. He felt that the other party's attitude seemed a bit too indifferent, and there was no respect in his words, as if he were facing an equal.

"Could I have misjudged him?" Naigu observed carefully but still couldn't detect anything unusual about Chen Yuan's aura, and secretly shook his head.

Head: "Alright, let's hear what Elder Brother has to say first."

So he nodded without replying, but looked at Yuan.

Other lords besides Xingmang shared the same thought as Naigu; they were all curious about how Yuan would explain it next.

Is the intention to force Chen Yuan into the position of lord, or is there something special about him?

Xingmang knew Chen Yuan's true background, but he didn't speak. Instead, he watched the situation unfold quietly, just like the others.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Gentlemen, we've known each other for so long, don't you know my temperament?"

"If Chen Yuan is not capable enough, why would I forcefully recommend him? That wouldn't be helping him, it would be harming him!"

"The reason I proposed this is naturally because Chen Yuan is qualified to do so."

"Brother Yuan, of course I trust you." Lord "Minghuang" laughed, "So stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us what hidden strength Chen Yuan has."

"Alright, it seems you're all in a hurry, so I'll get straight to the point."

Yuan chuckled, then his expression turned serious: "Of course I know how important a lord is to a faction. The seven of us became lords not through any underhanded tactics, but through our strength. You all admit that, right?"

Everyone else nodded.

"The Lord of Hunyuan is not only powerful, but also possesses immortality, making him deeply feared by the top experts in the endless Hunyuan space. That is why we became the lords of the cultivator camp."

At this point, Yuan paused before continuing, "In other words, as long as Chen Yuan meets the above conditions, then even if he hasn't mastered the Dao at the Chaos Origin level, he's still qualified to become a lord, right?"

Everyone was taken aback. Jin couldn't help but ask, "He hasn't mastered the Dao at the Hunyuan level? You mean he's following the path of the Hunyuan bloodline and has become an existence comparable to the Hunyuan Ancestor?"

"No." Yuan shook his head. "Chen Yuan's cultivation method is still the Enlightenment Path, and he has not become the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan. He is still at the World-level Hunyuan level."

World-class?!

Everyone else was stunned. How could a world-class level meet the requirements?

"Brother Yuan, you wouldn't be suggesting that Chen Yuan is capable of transcending realms and possessing a world-class physique comparable to the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos, would you?"

Jin's voice was somewhat hoarse, and his gaze kept shifting between Chen Yuan and Yuan. When he saw their calm expressions, he was even more shocked.

No way, is this how it is?

The others also noticed this and all showed expressions of shock: a world-class comparable to the progenitor level?

Yuan smiled faintly, but did not continue to explain. Instead, he gestured to Chen Yuan, "It's your turn to perform."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, stood up, and his body shone with light as one secret treasure after another appeared.

In an instant, his aura surged, forcefully breaking through the barrier of his cultivation realm.

Everyone stared in shock at Chen Yuan in the light. Although there was no actual combat test, they could tell from his life force that he had definitely stepped into the level of the Primordial Ancestor!

"One, two, three, four—" Moman looked surprised: "Four ancestral-level innate treasures, and they're so unfamiliar, not from the treasure vault."

"With these treasures by your side, it's no wonder you were able to cross the barrier between realms."

"You're wrong, Moman," Starlight explained softly from the side. "The Primordial level isn't easy to reach. If it were any other World-level Chaos Origin, let alone four secret treasures, even ten wouldn't be of any use."

"Chen Yuan was able to do it because he perfectly controlled the power of these treasures."

"What!" The others were immediately shocked. Perfect control of a natural treasure?

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was indeed the case. It was precisely because the power of the four secret treasures had been pushed to its limit that Chen Yuan was able to obtain power no less than that of the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos.

The conditions may seem simple, but only they understand the true value of perfect control, even when it comes to a secret treasure.

Yes, they can also perfectly control the secret treasure, but they rely on the powerful Hunyuan Dao and treasures that fit their own path.

But what does Chen Yuan have? His understanding of the path is still very shallow, and he cannot possibly activate a powerful secret treasure. That leaves only one possibility: the secret treasure is actively cooperating with him.

Only in this way can the same effect be achieved.

Chen Yuan's ability to achieve this could not be due to luck, but rather to talent.

"So, the reason Elder Brother recommended him is because of this talent for controlling secret treasures?"

Jin had already come to his senses and shook his head: "I admit that Chen Yuan is not weak and is qualified to be called our peer, but if he wants to become a lord, strength alone is not enough."

"Leaving aside the problem of relying on the power of the secret treasure, which makes the battle less enduranceable, he has another fatal flaw—he's afraid of dying!"

"Of course, when I said 'afraid of death,' I meant it literally. No one is immortal. Even if someone is powerful, how can they fight with peace of mind? What if they accidentally perish?"

"The fallen Chaos Lord—not only will our cultivator faction be ridiculed by others, but we will also lose this deterrent, and the future will likely be filled with endless troubles!"

"Brother Elder, how do you plan to solve this problem?"

Jin stared intently at Yuan and asked seriously.

"I have naturally considered the issue you raised," Yuan said calmly. "Let me be frank, Chen Yuan refined a mysterious place, and you must know the implications behind that, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces once again showed expressions of shock.
