Flame Wind Ancient Country, outskirts of Chu Capital City.
A graceful figure of a woman in luxurious robes materialized out of thin air, smiling towards the direction of Chu Capital City, “Huang Feng is imprisoned here.” She could pinpoint the location of the City Lord of Desert Wind City using the Origin Dao of Causality.
“Such an impressive Chu Capital City, truly worthy of being the powerful secret treasure crafted by Primogenitor Yan Feng.” Gazing at the city before her, she could sense the endless might contained within its walls. Here, Emperor Chu was invincible.
Whoosh.
With one step, she arrived at the city gate, entering openly and righteously, and with another step, she was outside the main gate of Luo Feng’s Cave Dwelling, knocking gently.
“Hmm?”
As she knocked, Luo Feng inside the Cave Dwelling suddenly became aware, at which moment the servant had already opened the door.
“Godly King Jia Yin.” At a glance, Luo Feng saw the figure at the main gate through the myriad buildings and identified the identity of the visitor.
“Great Saint Luo He,” Godly King Jia Yin also looked at Luo Feng and nodded with a smile.
Luo Feng also became serious.
Godly King Jia Yin was widely known throughout the Land of Origin; an unrivaled entity in the First Realm of Godly King, which was extremely rare in the Land of Origin, even more so than ancient entities at the Second Realm of Godly King.
In the entire Land of Origin, the unrivaled at the First Realm of the Godly King, openly or secretly in total, according to the information given by master Emperor Chu, should be less than twenty!
And most of those unrivaled at the First Realm of Godly King practiced the Primordial Bloodline!
Those unrivaled at the First Realm of Godly King who do not rely on the Primordial Bloodline, there are probably only about five overall in the Land of Origin, and Godly King Jia Yin is one of them! This shows how special she is. Even the lofty monarchs of Thunder Ancient Country value her highly.
No matter which monarch was in power, they would invite her for assistance.
“It is said that Godly King Jia Yin, with the Origin Dao of the Infinite as her foundation, cultivated to the ultimate in the First Realm of Godly King. After that, she also cultivated the Origin Dao of Causality… The combination of the two made her an unrivaled entity in the First Realm of Godly King.”
“Infinite and Causality combined, Godly King Jia Yin can foresee any danger in advance.”
Luo Feng was well aware that in terms of avoiding danger and saving one’s own life, Godly King Jia Yin was above him and even above the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm!
This was truly an Overlord Level existence in the Land of Origin!
…
In the Cave Mansion, at the Welcome Pavilion, Luo Feng personally entertained Godly King Jia Yin.
“What could bring Godly King Jia Yin to visit someone in the Primal Chaos Realm like me?” Luo Feng poured wine for Godly King Jia Yin.
“Recently, at the border of the two Ancient Countries, fifteen rare natural treasures have emerged, all of which were snatched by you, Great Saint Luo He,” Godly King Jia Yin said with a smile, looking at Luo Feng, “Great Saint Luo He, you haven’t missed a single one. May I ask, do you intend to monopolize all the natural treasures along the border line?”
As for those continuously productive mines, one could take a bit and send it back.
But for those natural treasures that mature periodically, Luo Feng precisely timed it to monopolize them all.
“Is that not allowed?” Luo Feng looked at her, “The conflicts along the border between the two countries have lasted for endless eras.”
“Of course, it’s allowed,” Godly King Jia Yin nodded, “The border conflicts naturally have winners and losers. Now that Great Saint Luo He’s strength far surpasses other transcendant beings in the Primal Chaos Realm, you naturally have the right to monopolize, and we in Thunder Ancient Country can afford to lose.”
Luo Feng listened closely.
“But as you know, many Godly Kings of Thunder Ancient Country have bad tempers,” Godly King Jia Yin looked at Luo Feng, “And there are a few who could become barely controlled Monarch Level existences.”
“If you, Great Saint Luo He, keep harvesting all the natural treasures, causing one of those half-uncontrolled Monarchs to rage,” Godly King Jia Yin watched Luo Feng, “even if you are within Chu Capital City, a half-uncontrolled Monarch could obliterate all your avatars in the Land of Origin. If you’re lucky, you’ll have just enough time to be reborn.”
Luo Feng said, “Godly King Jia Yin, I have one avatar living within the Palace of Emperor Chu.”
Emperor Chu arranged for Luo Feng to do this as a precaution.
“Palace of Emperor Chu?” Godly King Jia Yin frowned slightly.
As a bustling city, Chu Capital City didn’t prohibit entry or exit, with countless citizens thriving within. Teleporting into Chu Capital City was unrestricted, and Monarch Level beings could instantaneously obliterate Luo Feng’s avatar.
But the Palace of Emperor Chu, if not permitted, was forbidden to enter. Without access to the palace, naturally, Luo Feng could not be encountered.
“Emperor Chu allowing you to reside within the Palace of Emperor Chu, he truly values you highly,” Godly King Jia Yin realized she couldn’t pose a threat, immediately saying, “Thunder Ancient Country hopes that you, Luo He, will forever give up competing for the border treasures. Brother Luo He, name your terms.”
Luo Feng looked at her with a smile, “I want to enter the treasure trove left by Yuan.”
Godly King Jia Yin’s expression changed slightly, “The treasure trove left by Yuan?”
“Yes, any treasury will do. I’m not picky,” Luo Feng said.
Godly King Jia Yin looked at Luo Feng, “Choose another condition. The resources left by Yuan will not be released by the Imperial Clan of Thunder Ancient Country.”
“That’s the condition,” Luo Feng said, “If you don’t agree, then forget it. I’ll continue to compete for the border’s natural treasures. One Hundred Eras, a thousand eras… I have time.”
Godly King Jia Yin shook her head lightly, “Forget it, I’ll go back and consult the Monarch. It’s not up to me to decide.”
Even for the two Ancient Countries, the resources left by Yuan were the most core. Those brought back by the Ancestors were secondary.
Even the Alien races that traversed the far Primordial Space to reach the Land of Origin did so in pursuit of the resources left by Yuan.
After speaking, Godly King Jia Yin stood up and disappeared without a trace.
“According to what master said, my chances of success should be quite high.” Luo Feng waited patiently, as a non-Imperial Clan powerhouse aspiring to enter the treasure places left by Yuan. According to his master’s insights, this was the only way.
******
Mt. Leiting.
“What?” The Monarch Lei Xiao, bathing in thunder, was somewhat surprised, “He wants to enter the treasure place left by Yuan?”
“Yes, that’s his only condition. He would accept any treasure place,” Godly King Jia Yin stated, “If we do not agree, he will continue to compete for the border’s natural treasures.”
Lei Xiao considered it carefully.
While spots to enter the treasure place were precious, they still had their value.
The natural treasures nurtured along the border, while ordinary individually, amassed altogether and accumulating over time… their value was truly terrifying.
“In one thousand eras, the natural treasures he contends for will be worth at least five hundred million Merit Points. If he stays at the Primal Chaos Realm for several thousand more eras, our losses will be immense,” Godly King Jia Yin stated, “And having such a large quantity monopolized could even cause a shortage of many mid to low-end resources.”
Monarch Leixiao understood the meaning of his subordinate.
“Alright, agree to his request, and give him one entry to the least valued treasure site,” Monarch Leixiao spoke up.
“The treasure site known as ‘Infinite Space’, one entry, the exchange price for a guest Godly King is 50 million Merit Points. This is the least valued one,” said Godly King Jiayin.
The two major Ancient Countries would also release some peripheral resources for the guest Godly Kings to exchange. But the exchange price remained extremely high.
“Let’s go with this entry,” Monarch Leixiao thought and took out a silver token from the Royal Treasure Vault, which floated towards Godly King Jiayin.
Godly King Jiayin immediately complied.
…
In Chu Capital, Luo Feng’s Cave Dwelling.
“The Monarch has agreed,” Godly King Jiayin looked at Luo Feng, “In exchange for an entry to a treasure site left by Yuan, for the promise of Great Saint Luo He to forever give up the competition for rare resources along the border of the two countries.”
“Once a promise is made, given the value of this trade, it becomes a significant cause and effect,” Godly King Jiayin looked at Luo Feng, “If you break the promise, even if you reach the invincible First Realm of Godly King, through cause-and-effect backlash, all your Avatars can be obliterated in an instant.”
“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded in realization.
Under normal circumstances, an invincible First Realm Godly King, with an extremely strong ability to preserve life, could not be claimed by Emperors or Monarchs to be instantly obliterated.
But if one sought death by first creating a significant cause and effect and then actively breaking it… The Monarch only needed to use cause-and-effect backlash, and with a timely strike, could annihilate all Avatars.
Since he had promised, Luo Feng naturally would not compete for the treasures. If he really needed some of the rare resources along the border, he would prefer to purchase them outright.
“This is the entry token to ‘Infinite Space,’ one of the treasure sites left by Yuan,” Godly King Jiayin placed a silver token on the table.
Luo Feng looked at the silver token, full of anticipation.
This was the core opportunity of the Land of Origin! Aside from the Lie Yuan Technique, he had acquired another chance today.
“Buzz.” As soon as Luo Feng touched the silver token with his hand, a large amount of information instantly flooded into his memory.
“So this is how it is?”
Luo Feng had some basic understanding of the opportunity.
“The trade is complete.”
Godly King Jiayin smiled, “Great Saint Luo He, I’ve heard that you have imprisoned the true body of the Desert Wind City Lord of our Thunder Ancient Country?”
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
The redemption price of merely three hundred billion Cosmic Sand, valued at one million Merit Points, was not yet gathered by Desert Wind City Lord.
“Could you release him?” Godly King Jiayin asked.
“He still owes me 220 billion Cosmic Sand,” Luo Feng said.
“I’ll pay,” declared Godly King Jiayin.
“Then, of course, I can,” Luo Feng smiled.
Soon, the Desert Wind City Lord was released.
“Godly King Jiayin,” the Desert Wind City Lord, upon seeing Godly King Jiayin, was extremely respectful and grateful, “Thank you, Godly King Jiayin, for saving me.”
“I’ve paid 220 billion Cosmic Sand to save you; from now on you shall serve me, and once the debt is repaid, you will regain your freedom. Is that acceptable?” Godly King Jiayin looked at the Desert Wind City Lord.
“Yes,” the Desert Wind City Lord did not hesitate.
All this time he had been trying to gather the Cosmic Sand for ransom. The Godly Kings of the Thunder Ancient Country each took advantage to exploit him heavily, and he had not agreed to them. Finally, there was Godly King Jiayin willing to help him.
“Let’s go,” Godly King Jiayin immediately left with the Desert Wind City Lord. As they were leaving, the Desert Wind City Lord couldn’t help but glance at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng also smiled slightly.
Even with the tyrannical temperament of the Desert Wind City Lord, there was a tremor in his heart, and all he wanted was to be far away from Luo He.
…
After Luo Feng obtained the silver token of the treasure site ‘Infinite Space’ left by Yuan, he was not in a hurry to enter it; instead, he went to consult with his master first.
“Master, the Thunder Ancient Country has agreed, they’ve given the entry token for ‘Infinite Space’,” Luo Feng presented the token.
“Infinite Space?”
Emperor Chu looked at the silver token and nodded softly, “I had guessed long ago that the quota given by the Thunder Ancient Country would definitely be of lower value, but this is too low.”
“It’s of low value?” Luo Feng inquired.
“The treasure sites left by Yuan, some can drive Godly Kings mad. This one is rather ordinary,” Emperor Chu explained, “I’ll send you all the information that the Flame Wind Ancient Country has on this particular treasure site.”
Luo Feng soon received the complete information on the treasure site, which was far more detailed than the information that came with the token.
“I feel it’s pretty good,” after understanding the information, Luo Feng thought that this treasure site ‘Infinite Space’ was already quite amazing. Of course, it could also be because he hadn’t seen any other treasure sites.
“No matter what, explore carefully,” Emperor Chu advised, “This treasure site might have some undiscovered secrets. Any treasure site left by Yuan should not be underestimated.”
“Yes, Master,” Luo Feng immediately replied.
That night.
Luo Feng sat in the Quiet Room within Luo Feng’s Cave Dwelling, the Star Tower, holding the silver token.
“According to the information, should one’s consciousness be guided by the silver token to enter the treasure site ‘Infinite Space’?” Luo Feng’s Avatar sat crossed-legged, activating the silver token in his hand.
Buzz.
Immediately a stream of consciousness, led by the token, set off towards the treasure site ‘Infinite Space’.
And this silver token also disappeared without a trace! Each token could only be used once and would disappear after use, then it would silently and randomly reappear somewhere in the Land of Origin.
