Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

"Your Excellency, the city of Eyu is just ahead," Zhou Lian said respectfully to Yan Yong, bowing deeply.

A vast and magnificent city appeared before Yan Yong.

"As expected of a major city in a first-rate state like Zhao, its grandeur is truly magnificent." Yan Yong nodded.

This city of Eyu was taller and larger than any city he had ever seen, even larger than a continent. He had never seen such a man-made structure before, and it looked quite novel.

"The Venerable One is probably from some small country," Zhou Lian thought to himself.

As a first-class state with a long history, the city of Eyu in Zhao has a long history and is indeed more magnificent than other cities.

"Your Excellency, please." Zhou Lian stowed his warship and led the way for Yan Yong.

Yan Yong nodded and followed.

Zhou Lian's Qiushui Chamber of Commerce was considered a fairly powerful force in Eyu City, so he arrived at his residence in Eyu City without any obstacles.

"Your Excellency's kindness in saving us is something our Autumn Water Merchant Guild could never repay. Please entrust this residence to me; otherwise, I will feel extremely uneasy," Zhou Lian pleaded.

All along the way, the bearded man was thinking about how to repay Yan Yong for saving his life. Unfortunately, Yan Yong seemed to have no desires, leaving him powerless to do anything. Now that Yan Yong wanted to buy a house, he naturally had to do something to show his gratitude.

"Okay," Yan Yong readily accepted.

"This is the 'Chaos Palace' of Eyu City." Yan Yong followed Zhou Lian into the Chaos Palace, and the servants of the Chaos Palace respectfully came forward to pay their respects to Zhou Lian, which showed that Zhou Lian's status in the city was indeed not low.

"Your Excellency, it is necessary to register your name to reside here," Zhou Lian said respectfully, bowing deeply.

"Fire Dragon, let's register it under that name," Yan Yong said, giving the name he used when he was on the battlefield outside the domain.

The name was so ancient that saying it now brought back memories of the past.

"Transfer my teammates from the extraterrestrial battlefield to my miniature universe," Yan Yong's avatar instructed his subordinate cosmic venerables to do.

"Register Cave No. 72 for Venerable Fire Dragon." Zhou Lian hurriedly instructed the attendant, then turned and respectfully reported to Yan Yong, "This Cave No. 72 is the largest and best among the remaining caves."

Although the requirements for the cave dwelling are not high, only a safe place to study the secret techniques, it is not bad that the other party offered the best one.

Yan Yong nodded and accepted the other party's kindness.

Guided by the waiter, Yan Yong entered his cave dwelling, number 72.

"Your Excellency, I shall take my leave. I reside in Cave No. 25, Jia. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything." After sending Yan Yong to Hou Zhou Lian, he noticed that Yan Yong was not in a good mood and did not have the audacity to stay and continue the conversation. Instead, he took the initiative to say goodbye.

After entering the cave and sitting down cross-legged, Yan Yong began to organize his cultivation heritage.

Yan Yong possesses the complete inheritance of a super power, lacking no secret techniques in any aspect. He also has four God-King level treasures and other treasures, but he lacks some cultivation resources.

The first thing to do is to train your body. A strong physical body not only makes your defense and survivability stronger, but also makes your divine power more refined and powerful.

As the strongest being of his era, Emperor Wei's body-refining technique was extremely miraculous and was called "Nine Revolutions Golden Body". After nine revolutions, his physical body was comparable to a god-king's treasure, indestructible, and his divine power was far more solid than that of an ordinary god-king.

Once you become a Void True God, you can begin your cultivation. The Void True God undergoes one transformation, the Eternal True God a second transformation, the Chaos Ruler a third transformation, and the God King a third transformation.

Yan Yong is now at the Chaos Sovereign Realm and can cultivate the first six stages.

"Let me see what resources are needed to cultivate this secret technique?" Yan Yong calculated carefully.

"Fortunately, the materials needed for the first two rebirths are not expensive, and I can afford them. But it's a bit difficult to continue starting from the third rebirth." Yan Yong was not disappointed. After all, he had just arrived in this Origin Continent with nothing to his name. He was lucky to have gathered enough materials for the first two rebirths.

After completing the first two rounds of training, one should begin cultivating the secret techniques of willpower to strengthen one's will.

There are even more options for the secret techniques of willpower. As mentioned before, Emperor Wei is not a master of willpower. Of course, Emperor Wei's willpower is definitely the strongest, but that is due to his experience and talent.

However, the cultivation of willpower was not the most profound. The foremost figure in the Wei Kingdom in terms of willpower was Wenchang Jun, one of the Four Divine Lords. His secret technique, the "Myriad Gods Technique," had an extremely strong tempering effect on willpower.

The Myriad Gods Technique can infinitely tear apart one's soul and will to form separate small "primordial spirits," which can also cultivate and grow stronger on their own.

Upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, these souls will be tempered by the "Myriad Gods Technique" and return to their original forms, continuously strengthening themselves.

It can be said that the cultivation of the "Myriad Gods Technique" can multiply one's willpower with each cycle of reincarnation, making it very suitable for cultivators like Yan Yong who have weak willpower.

However, the cultivation of the "Myriad Gods Technique" is extremely painful, and ordinary people can hardly endure it. Moreover, each split will aggravate the pain of the next soul split. Currently, only the creator, Wenchang Jun, has been able to cultivate this method to its peak.

Even Wenchang Jun himself dared not continue trying after reaching the peak of the God King's will, and ultimately his will failed to break through to a higher level.

"I'll go exchange for some resources to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Golden Body first, and then I'll focus on mastering the first two revolutions." After organizing his cultivation plan, Yan Yong prepared to go out.

The destination of this trip is naturally the Yanfeng Club.

Only such a powerful chamber of commerce could possibly gather the resources it needs without fail, and at the same time, without raising its own prices.

Moreover, Yanfeng Guild is a transnational force on the mainland with functions similar to a bank. When the time comes, Tianlong's clone can open an account and exchange resources with the main body.

This is a capability that other associations do not possess.

The Yanfeng Guild Hall was easy to find in the city. Yan Yong asked the attendant guarding the Chaos Palace for directions and got the location.

They went straight to the Yanfeng Hall. As expected of a super power in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, this hall was even more magnificent than the City Lord's Mansion.

"Greetings, Your Excellency." As soon as you enter, a waiter warmly greets you, making you feel right at home and giving you no sense of being treated unfairly by the establishment.

He warmly led Yan Yong to a quiet room and then offered him a glass of wine.

Yan Yong took the drink and took a sip. Although he didn't like alcohol, things that could move them and make them feel enjoyable were very rare after becoming a super strong person.

Having arrived on this continent of origin, it's only natural to experience its customs and culture.

He drank it all in one gulp and then placed the glass on the table.

Yan Yong took out his bag of cosmic sand, which he had obtained by selling all the treasures on the two great bandits, the Eternal True God.

There were over 3.4 million cosmic sands, mainly from the two mechanical treasures, while the rest, around 300,000, were obtained by exchanging other treasures they possessed.

He handed the bag to the waiter.

After carefully examining the contents, the waiter respectfully said, "A total of 3.45 million cosmic sands. Does Your Majesty wish to store them at our guild hall or exchange them for treasures?"

"In exchange for some resources and treasures, here is the list." Yan Yong handed a list to the waiter.

After carefully comparing the list, the waiter handed it back to Yan Yong. This waiter was also a Void True God, so with his memory, he could naturally memorize it after just one glance.

It was only to better serve customers and demonstrate my professionalism that I carefully compared and considered everything, so naturally I remembered everything on Yan Yong's list clearly.

"The items Your Excellency requires are all in stock at our merchant guild, totaling 275 million Cosmic Sands. Your Excellency still has 70 Cosmic Sands left in this bag. Would you like to keep it at our guild or give us change?"

"Store it in your guild, open an account for me, my name is 'Fire Dragon'." Yan Yong did not intend to take back the remaining cosmic sand, but instead chose to store it in the guild.

"Please wait a moment, I will bring you the resources you need right away." With a wave of his hand, another waiter who looked to be of slightly lower status quickly went to the warehouse at the back of the hall and brought Yan Yong the resources he needed.

Yan Yong checked the list and found that it was exactly as listed on his list, without any discrepancies. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Show me your bounty posters." Yan Yong is currently short of money, so he's willing to take action if there's a suitable target.

Generally, the resources needed for the second transformation at the Eternal God level should be enough by collecting a few more bounties.

After all, this is the first-class nation of Zhao, so the quality of the Eternal True Gods here will be much higher, and those who are put on the bounty will naturally be of high quality.

The waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "May I ask, do you wish to join the Dark Hall of my Flamewind Guild?"

The moment Yan Yong checked into the Chaos Palace, the Yanfeng Guild Hall received information about this "unfamiliar eternal true god".

Through comparison, they discovered that there was indeed no record of Yan Yong. He was very likely a newly ascended Eternal God, but they didn't know how strong he was.

However, seeing that Zhou Lian, the third manager of the Qiushui Chamber of Commerce, was extremely respectful to the other party, even to the point of being obsequious, it was clear that the other party's strength far surpassed that of Zhou Lian.

On the first registration, he was ranked in the top tier, even very high up, almost comparable to the strongest group of Eternal Gods in the city.

It belongs to the top tier within the second category.

"That's right, I'm really short on money lately, so I can take on some jobs to make ends meet," Yan Yong said casually.

"This is my Yanfeng Guild's 'Dark Palace Communication Token'." The waiter respectfully handed Yan Yong an antique token.

Yan Yong took it and began to examine it.

Looking down from the highest bounty, he wouldn't even bother to bid on anything with a low offer.

The highest bounty is for the leader of a dark force in the city, named "Dark Owl," with a bounty of 1000 million cosmic sands.

"Not bad, that's really impressive." Yan Yong looked at it and saw that the bounty on Dark Owl had reached 1000 million. Even an Eternal True God could not afford such a bounty. He wondered which force had put it on.

Second on the list is the Lord of Eyu City, a renowned Eternal True God. In the Grand Martial Arts Tournament held once every fifty centuries, this Lord of Eyu City has represented Anyang Chaos State in battle on multiple occasions and recently achieved a top-ten ranking.

A bounty of 900 million units of cosmic sand is offered.

"Goodness, this city lord is so powerful and he only has 900 million, while this Dark Owl has 1000 million." Although neither of them is strong enough to compete with Yan Yong, it doesn't stop him from watching the show and enjoying the gossip.

The third-ranked item dropped sharply from the top two, with only a little over three million cosmic sands.

"Can you show me how much cosmic sand is needed for these materials?" Yan Yong handed the waiter a second list.

"Yes." The waiter respectfully took the list and carefully compared it.

"The materials you need will cost a total of 652 million Cosmic Sand." The reason it was so fast was because Yanfeng Guild had clear regulations on materials under 10 million, which could not be negotiated, so the waiter calculated the price very accurately and quickly.

"To master the third transformation, at least 652 million units of cosmic sand are needed," Yan Yong pondered for a moment.

"Give me information on Dark Owl." Yan Yong immediately set his sights on Dark Owl, who had the highest bounty on him.

It's not good to make a move against the city lord, because doing so would easily attract the attention of the forces behind him.

After all, this city lord represents the official Zhao state, so taking action against him requires careful consideration of Zhao's reaction.

Only a few desperate criminals would dare to take on such a job, but Yan Yong sought stability and would naturally not do something that would be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Similarly, his desire to examine Dark Owl's information wasn't out of concern for the other party's strength, but rather to see if a powerful force was standing behind him.

If the other party is an elite disciple trained by a powerful force, then Yan Yong will have no choice but to temporarily change his target.

"This information about the Dark Owl requires 1 cosmic sands," the waiter respectfully reminded him.

After all, the Fire Dragon God only has 70 units of cosmic sand left.

"It's alright, I'm short of big money, not this little bit." Yan Yong smiled faintly.

"After deducting the 10,000 cosmic sands you deposited at the guild hall, you currently have 690,000 left. This is the information you requested."

New information soon appeared on Yan Yong's Dark Palace communication token, which was all the information about the Dark Owl.

"I see. So this Dark Owl fought with the city lord, and the city lord was no match for him. That's why the dark forces have been preserved in this city."

Intelligence indicates that the city lord was in high spirits when he first took office. After all, he was appointed city lord after winning a top-ten ranking in the national martial arts competition, and naturally he wanted to wipe out all the dark forces in this city.

Unfortunately, they were thwarted when they first tried to take over the Black Dragon Gang, the largest dark force in the city.

After exchanging blows with this Dark Owl, the city lord discovered that he was no match for him and had not even managed to force out the Dark Owl's true strength.

It was only because of his status as the city lord that he was spared from the other party's life; otherwise, it's hard to say who would have wiped out whom.

However, the Black Dragon Gang usually keeps a low profile and rarely goes against the city lord's mansion. They do everything according to the rules of other dark forces in the city, guarding their own little territory and never overstepping the bounds.

Therefore, the higher-ups in Anyang Chaos Prefecture did not step in to eliminate it.

"It seems that the bounty was issued by the City Lord's Mansion." Yan Yong analyzed, "It's likely that after the City Lord realized he was no match for them, he issued a bounty to the Yanfeng Guild, hoping to eliminate this Dark Owl with the intervention of other forces."

Continuing to browse Dark Owl's information, it was discovered that Dark Owl was very mysterious and did not have many records of taking action.

Most of the information involves powerful and renowned Eternal Gods who were attacked but were instead killed.

There is no information about which faction the other party belongs to, nor is there any detailed information about their strength.

Yan Yong also discovered something terrifying. (End of Chapter)
