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

The lord was stunned.

A mysterious place?!

As lords of the Hunyuan realm, everyone present was naturally aware of the characteristics of this mysterious place—immortality and indestructibility.

Those who refine the life forms of the mysterious land can also gain the ability to be immortal.

"So that's how it is." Moman gasped, looking at Chen Yuan in shock: "You actually refined a mysterious place, no wonder Brother Yuan was so confident."

"With ancestral-level combat power and immortality, aside from your slightly lacking endurance, you can be considered a Chaos Lord!"

Faced with Moman's praise, Chen Yuan simply smiled and did not explain the origin of the Primordial World.

After all, creating the Origin World isn't an exaggeration, but creating a mysterious place? That's completely beyond everyone's imagination.

"Since Chen Yuan is immortal, then I have no objection."

Upon hearing this, Jin smiled uncharacteristically and said, "Just as Moman said, even if the endurance is a bit poor, as long as there is immortality, it is not a problem—so I agree to Chen Yuan becoming the eighth lord."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yuan with a slightly apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just discussing this matter. I hope you don't mind."

Yuan Ye, who was standing to the side, said, "That's true. This kind of discussion is common among lords and it's not directed at any particular person."

"Chen Yuan, don't hold a grudge against Jin because of this."

"Of course not."

Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head. He had already put away the secret treasures he carried and sat back down in his seat.

"Then, this matter is settled. Chen Yuan will join the cultivators' camp and become the eighth lord."

Yuan said, "Everyone, let's begin the vote."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

As expected, it passed unanimously.

"Very good." Yuan smiled and looked at Chen Yuan: "Congratulations, Brother Chen."

Chen Yuan smiled in response: "Thank you, Brother Yuan."

Yuan smiled and looked at the people around the round table: "Then, the next matter."

"I propose that a separate area be created for Chen Yuan in the original land, with a size at least comparable to the current original land."

This statement caused another uproar among the crowd.

"What's going on? Opening up a separate area?!" Lord Wu Lan, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but speak up: "Elder, I think this matter needs to be discussed."

"Opening up a new region is no small matter and requires the life imprint of a strong person to suppress it. Although Chen Yuan has become a lord, his life essence is still at a world-class level, and he may not be able to handle this task."

"Not to mention that the area opened up is so large that even I might not be able to suppress such a large space. If you let Chen Yuan imprint his life mark, he will only be overwhelmed by the aura of the Primordial Land and get injured in vain."

Hearing Wu Lan's explanation, everyone else nodded, and Xing Mang chimed in, "Wu Lan is right. Opening up the land is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to suppress the restlessness of the primordial land, which requires a powerful life essence."

"Although Chen Yuan is strong in combat and has an immortal body, it does not affect the fact that his life essence is only at the world level."

"Brother Yuan, forcing Chen Yuan to take charge of the new region is more of a curse than a blessing for him."

"You should know that once a life imprint is left, it is very difficult to remove. Chen Yuan has to bear the backlash at all times, and even after being resurrected, he cannot get rid of it. This greatly affects his cultivation."

This is why Xingmang spoke up. He was very clear about Chen Yuan's talent and knew that he was destined to become the Lord of Hunyuan in the future.

However, cultivating while shackled, even if it doesn't affect the other person's eventual fate of becoming a lord, will significantly prolong the time it takes for them to reach the lord realm.

Are breakthroughs in one era and breakthroughs in one hundred million eras the same concept?

Xingmang didn't know what Yuan was thinking, but from his perspective, he naturally hoped that Chen Yuan would break through as soon as possible, so he hoped to avoid any adverse factors.

Wu Lan and Xing Mang's words resonated with the other lords, who were all well aware of the consequences of imprinting a life mark. It was safe to say that life forms below the progenitor level would find it difficult to withstand such an impact.

Although the other lords did not know Chen Yuan's true talent, judging from his performance, there was a good chance that he would break through to the Hunyuan Lord level in the future, so they naturally did not want to let Chen Yuan be dragged down.

Yuan laughed and said, "What are you thinking? How could I possibly let Chen Yuan brand his life mark?"

"The reason I brought this up is because Chen Yuanmo has a group of strong individuals to support, and we can't do without opening up new areas."

"But don't worry, once the new area is opened up, the task of overseeing it will be handled by Chen Yuan's subordinates."

"Chen Yuan's subordinates?" The other lords looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

"Does Elder Brother mean that Chen Yuan's subordinates are capable of holding down the initial position?!"

Upon realizing what was happening, Wu Lan gasped in shock, exclaiming, "This is impossible! Only an Ancestor could oversee a formation node! Not to mention opening up such a vast area—how many Ancestors would that require?"

"Eleven." Yuan casually uttered a number, then looked at the other lords with great interest.

As expected, upon hearing this number, all the lords, including Xingmang, were shocked, and Jin and Naigu even stood up.

"How much did you say?"

Even the only female lord, Minghuang, could not maintain her composure; her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, making her look quite comical.

"Eleven, the progenitors of Hunyuan." Yuan still had a smiling expression on his face.

Looking at his shocked companions, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. He understood why Chen Yuan had scared him like that earlier; it really did feel good.

After a while, the lords calmed down one by one, and Jin and Naigu also sat back down in their seats.

"What exactly happened?" Jin asked helplessly. "It seems that Elder Yuan was prepared all along. He's deliberately waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves, isn't he?"

"How could that be?" Yuan waved his hand, how could he possibly admit it? He smiled and said, "Actually, I just found out too, and I'm just as shocked as you are."

Veteran thief!

The lords cursed inwardly, thinking that it was because they were so shocked that they wouldn't let them go!

Shaking his head, Minghuang asked, "Alright, Brother Yuan, just tell me everything you want to say today, don't keep me in suspense."

"That's all, just this one thing." Yuan chuckled. "These eleven ancestors are all Chen Yuan's soul servants, and they were resurrected from the dead by him. They are currently in my cave."

"I've shut down access to the cave dwelling. You can now sense the situation inside through the array on the seats."

As soon as Yuan Gang finished speaking, the other lords looked over eagerly and, sure enough, saw the eleven ancestors in Yuan Cave.

"Candlelight, Six Wings, Myriad Stars—and the eight Primordial Ancestors we killed in the last decisive battle have actually come back to life!"

The lords exchanged bewildered glances. They had been shocked so many times today that they were somewhat numb. They simply stared at Yuan, waiting for his explanation.

However, upon seeing Yuan's smiling face, these lords couldn't help but curse him inwardly, "Old thief Yuan!"

We agreed on just one thing, so neither the resurrection of the progenitor of emotions nor the enslavement counts, right?

This old thief just wanted to see their shocked and bewildered expressions. The lords exchanged glances, all revealing a hint of helplessness.

Since things have come to this, we can only continue listening.

However, just as they were waiting, Yuan shook his head and said, "I only heard about this secondhand; Chen Yuan is the person involved."

"If you want to know the details, why don't you ask him?"
