Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

As for places outside of Fengzhou, Luo Feng had seen corresponding maps in the Zangfa Hall and had a general understanding of the sect layout in these areas.

Traveling north from Fengzhou, one crosses roughly dozens of continents comparable in size to Fengzhou.

This southern region is the southern frontier wilderness of the Chiyuan civilization, where the level of civilization development is relatively low, becoming more primitive the further south you go.

Therefore, he now has to take a detour, heading north.

Further south? That's the chaotic Southern Wilderness, undeveloped and a ferocious land. Spirits comparable to those in the Returning Origin Realm and the Peeping Nether Realm might exist there, along with some chaotic forbidden areas. If you accidentally wander in, even a Returning Origin Realm cultivator would lose their life, let alone someone like him.

The northern lands of civilization might be a better fit for his cultivation and other aspects.

In particular, if he could enter the big city, where order was strict and killing was forbidden, so even if the Five Peaks Sect knew his location, so what?

Want to kill him? That would be a violation of the laws of the Great City.

As for exposing his identity? Would the people of the Five Peaks Sect be willing to do that? Would others believe it? His true body is still in the Southern Border region. In the end, the worst outcome would be the loss of this clone.

Luo Feng's clone continued to increase its speed, while his main body was located in the abdomen of the Devouring Beast. The Devouring Beast's progress slowed down, mainly heading towards the untouched wilderness areas between the continents.

Luo Feng left behind a considerable amount of resources, enough for Lobitz to gradually transform and grow, increasing his strength.

……

Wufeng Sect.

On the tenth floor of the ten-story tower of the Tianfeng Sect, there is a large conference hall.

Besides the sect leaders of the five major peak sects, those gathered here also included the first and second elders of each peak sect who had stepped down from their positions as hall masters.

There are fifteen people here.

"Alright, let's now state our position on the matter of Tianying lending the Void Mirror. The reasons are acceptable, but I think the risks involved need to be considered."

The one who spoke was Tianxiao, the sect leader of Tianfeng Sect.

His expression was indifferent, revealing nothing about his thoughts.

The sect leader of Tianying Sect looked at the sect leaders of the other three sects, as well as the Supreme Elder. He had paid a huge price for this; he had staked ninety percent of his fortune on bribing these guys.

"I agree to lend it out."

The Ghost Peak Sect Master was the first to express his opinion.

"I agree to lend it out."

"I agree to lend it out."

Both elders of the Ghost Peak Sect also expressed their opinions.

Tianying glanced at the others and immediately expressed his agreement with each of them.

This put him at ease.

If everyone except Tianfeng Sect agrees, then the matter is half settled. The remaining most difficult person to deal with is Tianxiao of Tianfeng Sect, because he has too much strength and status. If he were to object, it would be very difficult.

Tianxiao looked indifferently at Tianying, the sect leader of Tianying Sect: "Sect Leader Tianying, you should know that the Void Mirror is one of the most important treasures of my Five Peaks Sect. If you want to lend it out, you must make part of the collateral. Otherwise, the risk is too great. Not to mention you running away on your own, I'm afraid it will be lost."

Tian Ying frowned.

mortgage?

"What are you mortgaging? How much are you mortgaging?" Tian Ying asked.

"Not much, just one-tenth the price of the Void Heaven Mirror, a hundred billion Qi Sand, low-grade is enough." Tianxiao said calmly, but his tone left no room for doubt.

One hundred billion?

Tian Ying's face twitched. A hundred billion? What does that even mean?

The fifth hall master of Tianying Sect, 'Geermo,' is a hall master who has to borrow money to raise more than 5 billion. As the sect master, his wealth, including other treasures, could be increased a hundredfold, but that would only amount to several hundred billion. A hundred billion means that he would need to borrow money.

Moreover, he had spent almost all of his wealth bribing the sect leaders and elders.

"What? One hundred billion is already the bare minimum. If you can't come up with it, I have the right to veto it. Everything is for the sect, for the sect's safety." Tianxiao shook his head:

"You can kill powerful Spirit-level Great Ferocious beasts in the chaos of the Southern Wilderness. Their life source pearls are priced according to the sect's corresponding value, comparable to Spirit-level Great Ferocious beasts in the Returning Origin Realm. You only need to kill about ten, which is not too many."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ying stood up: "No problem."

Tianxiao's words now are beyond question; no one can defy him.

"I will definitely avenge my son!" Tian Ying snorted coldly, then walked out of the conference hall.

Yes.

Tian Ying fabricated a reason: Germo was his illegitimate son, and now that his illegitimate son had been killed, he naturally wanted to take revenge!

The reason was a bit far-fetched, but no one else said anything because they weren't interested.

Watching Tian Ying leave, Tian Xiao's eyes narrowed, and several thoughts raced through his mind... How could he not know about Tian Shisan's special abilities? He had only recently broken through to the Qi Manifestation Realm, yet he had the ability to kill a fifth-level Qi Manifestation Realm expert? And it was said that a ferocious Qi Manifestation Realm expert helped him? Did they think he was a fool?!

The key to this matter lies with "Tian Sanshi". If he is not mistaken, this is an avatar of a visitor from outer space. The Qi power of Tian Sanshi was stored in the Void Mirror, which is equivalent to being bound to Tian Sanshi and being able to sense Tian Sanshi's location.

Once Tian Sanshi is found and his blood is obtained, the location of Tian Sanshi's true form can be found through causal means.

It's not enough to just rely on 'Qi power' and aura; it's far from sufficient to pinpoint the true location of the being.

Logically speaking, even if the extraterrestrial visitor destroyed his clone that day, the cause and effect would still exist even if it decreased in a very short time, and the Void Mirror could perceive it.

Therefore, as long as we find the clone of that extraterrestrial visitor, everything will be possible.

"I have refined a visitor from outer space. There is a large amount of energy hidden in its body, but this energy is too well concealed and cannot be developed for the time being."

"If I refine this one, my cultivation level will probably rise even higher, and I can unlock even more power. But as an acting sect leader, if I want to lend out the Void Mirror, I need the support of all of them."

This has always been a restriction of the Five Peaks Sect, precisely to prevent the strongest individual from taking the treasure away, thus causing the sect's decline.

If he were to forcibly take it, he would be tainted by the karma of Heaven, and the backlash would be something he could not withstand.

Items like the Void Mirror and the map of the Heavenly Response Sect are treasures within the sect and cannot be taken out without permission. Temporary lending can only be done through this kind of statement.

As for secretly following Tianying at that time?

Once the Void Mirror is temporarily controlled by Tianying, even though he has a high cultivation level, he cannot sense its location.

The best solution would be if he also had a way to borrow the Void Mirror; otherwise, he could only leave it to fate.

He didn't want to hand over such an alien body to anyone.

"I still need to think of a reason to lend out this Void Mirror, but that old fellow Tianying probably won't agree. It seems I'll have to get Tianying Sect to change its sect leader and those elders." Tianxiao thought to himself.

Although he couldn't kill them directly, he still had some methods, such as inciting the riots of some spirits...
