Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent - Chapter 29: Inventory of Gains
Luo Feng flew to the front entrance of the main building of Yan Feng Pavilion, where the attendant who had previously received him was already waiting.
“Divine Lord,” the attendant immediately stepped forward and smiled, “The Vice Pavilion Master has instructed me to invite you over.”
“The Vice Pavilion Master?” Luo Feng nodded slightly, “Lead the way.”
The attendant led Luo Feng away from the main building, flying deep into the entire Yan Feng Pavilion complex, and landed in front of a small building with its door open. The attendant said, “The Vice Pavilion Master is already inside waiting for you.”
Luo Feng nodded and entered the small building, while the attendant stayed outside.
Inside the small building.
A figure made of gray mist was sitting there, with two hollows in the mist seemingly ‘smiling’ at Luo Feng.
“Divine Lord Luo He, please sit.” The gray mist figure personally poured wine.
Luo Feng sat opposite.
“Try this wine, how does it taste?” The gray mist figure said.
Luo Feng picked up the wine cup, noticing the wine emitting a chill, with faint roars of terrifying beasts. Curious, he took a small sip, feeling a cool sensation spreading through his soul.
“This wine is brewed using the blood of a Divine King-level exotic beast, the ‘Myriad Realms Ice Wind Beast’. It has a nourishing effect on the soul and can enhance one’s comprehension.” The gray mist figure said, “Drinking one cup, the effect lasts for a day.”
“Enhancing comprehension?” Luo Feng was surprised.
Myriad Realms Ice Wind Beast? It was indeed recorded in the inheritance of the Broken Eastern River lineage. This Divine King-level exotic beast was made of ice, with countless universes naturally forming on its icy scales, making it worthy of the title Myriad Realms.
Its breath, the ‘wind’, contained traces of the fundamental principles of the universe, which is why it was long ago called the ‘Myriad Realms Ice Wind Beast’. It had appeared on the Origin Continent not long ago and was captured alive by the Ancient Flame Kingdom! It had been kept and its body materials were continuously extracted to refine various precious medicines and fine wines.
“When I left the Ancient Flame Kingdom, I brought some with me. I only serve it to friends I truly admire.” The gray mist figure said.
“The Vice Pavilion Master praises me too much.” Luo Feng indeed felt the cool sensation spreading within his soul, his mental processes significantly enhanced, likely improving his comprehension as the other had said.
The gray mist figure shook its head, “In a relatively remote country like Yuguo, resources are ultimately limited. To be able to kill the President of the Blood Python Society one-on-one at the Eternal True God level is quite remarkable!”
Luo Feng laughed.
Indeed, the President of the Blood Python Society had profound accumulations and used mechanical flow secret treasures, making him extraordinarily powerful. It was indeed difficult for an Eternal True God to kill him. Figures like Blood Cloud and Magili Xiao were elites nurtured by the Divine Kingdoms.
“I am here today to claim the bounty.” Luo Feng said.
“Before your fight, only you, Divine Lord Luo He, had taken on the task. And shortly after you took the task, the President of the Blood Python Society was killed.” The gray mist figure said, “But according to the rules of the Yan Feng Pavilion’s Dark Hall, you still need to provide proof of his death.”
“Since only you took the task, as long as you provide the corpse, or remains, or his main weapon, it will suffice.” The gray mist figure said.
If multiple strong contenders had taken on the task, the Yan Feng Pavilion would have required much stricter verification.
“Will this do?” Luo Feng flipped his hand, revealing the armor left behind by the President of the Blood Python Society after his death. The armor had several inconspicuous cracks and wounds. However, as an Eternal level armor secret treasure, these cracks and wounds could slowly heal with divine power nourishment.
The gray mist figure glanced at it and smiled, nodding, “It will do!”
“This is the bounty of 160,000 Cosmos Sand!” The gray mist figure waved a hand gently, and a jade bottle appeared in front of Luo Feng.
Luo Feng took the jade bottle and probed it with divine power, finding 160,000 grains of Cosmos Sand inside. It was evident that the Yan Feng Pavilion had prepared it long ago.
“If Divine Lord Luo He doesn’t need to use the large amount of Cosmos Sand immediately, you can store it in the Yan Feng Pavilion.” The gray mist figure smiled, “You can exchange it at any Yan Feng Pavilion across the entire Origin Continent.”
“No need.” Luo Feng stood up.
He knew that the Yan Feng Pavilion offered storage services, especially for those powerful cultivators who died without arranging an heir. Naturally, what they had stored in the Yan Feng Pavilion would become the pavilion’s property.
“Vice Pavilion Master, I’ll take my leave now.” Luo Feng said.
The gray mist figure stood up to see him off.
After Luo Feng left, a burly man appeared out of nowhere in the small building.
“Master, you don’t want to have a few words with him?” The gray mist figure looked at the burly man.
“Anyone who can single-handedly kill the President of the Blood Python Society generally has some background. Either they are elites nurtured by the Divine Kingdoms, or they’ve had some extraordinary encounters and undergone significant trials… But this Luo He, the Yan Feng Pavilion has no previous records of him.” The burly man gently shook his head, “I feel he’s like a cloud of mist.”
“Second Uncle, don’t you think he’s too reckless? In broad daylight, he directly charged into the Blood Python Society headquarters and killed the President. After killing him, he immediately came to our Yan Feng Pavilion to claim the bounty.” The burly man frowned, “Doesn’t he realize that many forces in Huyang City are likely watching the Yan Feng Pavilion’s entrance? By coming here at this time, he was definitely spotted by many forces.”
The gray mist figure nodded, “Indeed, he was too reckless.”
“It shows he doesn’t take those forces seriously.” The burly man laughed, “But one thing is certain, he values this bounty highly.”
“Most cultivators have to struggle for resources.” The gray mist figure sighed, having seen many Eternal True Gods resort to any means for wealth during his time running the Yan Feng Pavilion.

Huyang City, Chaos Armor 913 Cave Mansion.
“Divine Lord Morosa, I’ll just guard here.” Moyu Qingyan was meditating in a small building near the cave mansion’s gate, while Morosa kept an eye on the main entrance.
“Don’t mind me.” Morosa scolded.
“Oh.” Moyu Qingyan immediately shut up, not daring to say more.
Morosa patiently waited.
Finally, the cave mansion’s formation activated, the main door opening naturally, and Luo Feng flew in from outside.
“Master.” Morosa immediately rushed over to Luo Feng, smiling flatteringly. Moyu Qingyan also came out and stood by.
Luo Feng looked at Morosa and smiled, “Don’t worry, I kept your food for you.”
“Thank you, Master.” Morosa was overjoyed.
“Qingyan, focus on comprehending the laws.” Luo Feng instructed.
“Yes.” Moyu Qingyan responded immediately.
Then Luo Feng took Morosa to the underground hall first.
“Master is really formidable, directly charging into the Blood Python Society headquarters. I wonder if the President of the Blood Python Society is dead or alive.” Moyu Qingyan thought as he returned to the small building. The stronger Luo Feng was, the more filled with anticipation he became.
After all, if he passed the test, he was likely to become a disciple.
Moyu Qingyan sat cross-legged in the small building and began to carefully comprehend the ten basic laws.
…
In the underground hall, inside the Star Tower.
Luo Feng waved his hand, releasing the corpses of Vice President Lai Mo and the President of the Blood Python Society, Mu Yang. The two massive corpses exuded a terrifying aura.
“Two corpses?” Morosa’s eyes lit up.
“There was another Vice President with a poisonous insect body, which turned into a million poisonous insects.” Luo Feng said, “I destroyed the million poisonous insects, causing him to completely vanish. But I suspect he might still be alive because such a poisonous insect body, if cultivated to a high enough level, one insect would be one life. But he was relatively weak, so there’s no need to worry.”
Morosa nodded, eyes fervently fixed on the corpse of the President of the Blood Python Society, “The corpse of a strong one, this President’s bloodline might have reached the tenth level of the Eternal True God, and his main cultivation was also very strong.”
“As long as you like it.” Luo Feng nodded and went to another space in the Star Tower.
Morosa sat cross-legged and began absorbing the powerful bloodline and various energies contained in the two corpses.
…
Luo Feng was alone in a space on the first floor of the Star Tower.
“Let’s see how much I have gained this time.” Luo Feng waved his hand, taking out the spoils from his trip to the Blood Python Society headquarters.
“Wow, how did the President of the Blood Python Society carry so much Cosmos Sand?” Luo Feng was amazed as he looked at the treasures storing Cosmos Sand in front of him. After a quick count, he couldn’t help but be surprised, “Including what the two Vice Presidents carried, plus the bounty, the Cosmos Sand exceeds 980,000 grains!”
This huge amount of Cosmos Sand
delighted Luo Feng.
“The resources of an Eternal True God are either used for cultivation or exchanged for powerful treasures.” Luo Feng was very surprised, “I didn’t expect the President of the Blood Python Society to carry so much Cosmos Sand.”
“The resources for the second body refinement should be sufficient.” Luo Feng happily looked at the blood-red disc floating beside him. The disc had a flowing sheen, and upon closer inspection, he found a vast blood river flowing inside.
Luo Feng reached out and grasped the blood-red disc, perfect divine power infiltrating it.
Buzz~~~
As the perfect divine power poured in, it quickly refined the ownerless mechanical flow secret treasure, providing a wealth of information.
“Eternal True God level single-type mechanical secret treasure ‘Life Blood River’?” Luo Feng was secretly surprised, “With this mechanical secret treasure, one can transform their divine body into a blood river, almost flawless.”
“Whether for protection, attacking, escaping, eroding, or splitting… this Life Blood River possesses chaotic characteristics, making it extremely powerful.”
“In terms of value, my Killing Wu Wings are estimated at about 1 million Cosmos Sand, while this ‘Life Blood River’ is valued at around 1.5 million Cosmos Sand, even higher!”
Luo Feng made his judgment.
An Eternal True God level mechanical flow secret treasure, capable of wielding some of the power of the chaotic realm, was among the top on the entire Origin Continent. Its valuation generally ranged from 500,000 to 5 million Cosmos Sand, with no essential difference.
A mechanical flow secret treasure valued at 5 million Cosmos Sand was more like a perfect combination of several mechanical flow secret treasures!
“Buzz~~~”
With a thought, Luo Feng infused a full one percent of his divine power into the blood-red disc. Although he hadn’t carefully studied the ‘Life Blood River’, he could use it crudely with his perfect divine power.
Rumble~~~ The blood-red disc trembled.
One percent of Luo Feng’s divine power was still more massive than the divine power of an ‘Infinite Divine Body’ Eternal True God.
A blood river that seemed to devour everything and engulf all formed, as if it would swallow everything and return all to chaos, merging into the blood river.
Luo Feng looked at the terrifying blood river floating in front of him and smiled.
“Such a formidable treasure was wasted by the President of the Blood Python Society!” Luo Feng sighed. In terms of dealing with enemies, the Killing Wu Wings couldn’t compare to this ‘Life Blood River’ in terms of being tricky and terrifying.
