Even the monarchs of the lofty Thunder Ancient Kingdom hold her in high regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whichever monarch rules, they invite her to assist them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is said that Jia Yin Shenwang, taking the Infinite Primordial Dao as her foundation, reached the peak of the Shenwang First Realm. Then she additionally cultivated the Causality Primordial Dao… combining both, she became peerless in the Shenwang First Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By combining Infinite and Causality, Jia Yin Shenwang can sense any danger before it arises.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng knew well: in avoiding danger, in preserving life, Jia Yin Shenwang surpassed even him and the Snow Realm Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the kind of existence that ruled the Origin Continent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cave dwelling, in the reception pavilion, Luo Feng personally hosted Jia Yin Shenwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why has Jia Yin Shenwang come to seek out a Chaos Realm cultivator like me?” Luo Feng poured wine for Jia Yin Shenwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The border between the two ancient kingdoms has seen fifteen consecutive appearances of heavenly treasures—all claimed by you, Luo He Dasheng,” Jia Yin Shenwang smiled at Luo Feng. “You haven’t missed a single one. I’d like to ask: do you intend to monopolize all heavenly treasures along the border?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those mines that continuously produce can still yield a little to be sent back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those treasures that mature and emerge periodically have all been monopolized by Luo Feng at precisely the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?” Luo Feng looked at her. “The struggle between the two kingdoms along the border has lasted for endless eons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course you can.” Jia Yin Shenwang nodded. “Border conflicts inherently involve wins and losses. Now that your strength far exceeds other Chaos Realm transcendents, you naturally have the right to monopolize them. The Thunder Ancient Kingdom can afford to lose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you know, many of my Thunder Ancient Kingdom’s Shenwang have terrible tempers,” Jia Yin Shenwang looked at Luo Feng. “Some are even half-uncontrolled monarch-level beings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you continue harvesting all heavenly treasures along the border and provoke one of these half-uncontrolled monarchs,” Jia Yin Shenwang fixed her gaze on Luo Feng, “even within Chu Capital, a half-uncontrolled monarch can obliterate all your incarnations on the Origin Continent—you’d only survive by sheer luck and manage to reincarnate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng said: “Jia Yin Shenwang, I have one incarnation residing inside Emperor Chu’s Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu arranged this for Luo Feng—and had already prepared defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Emperor Chu’s Palace?” Jia Yin Shenwang frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a bustling city, Chu Capital permits free entry and exit; countless subjects live and multiply here. Instantly entering Chu Capital is unrestricted, and monarch-level beings can annihilate Luo Feng’s incarnations in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Emperor Chu’s Palace—without permission, entry is forbidden. If you can’t even enter, you can’t reach Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Emperor lets you live in Emperor Chu’s Palace—truly a mark of great favor,” Jia Yin Shenwang said, realizing her threat had no effect. “The Thunder Ancient Kingdom hopes you will forever abandon your struggle for the heavenly treasures along the border. Luo He Dasheng, name your condition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng smiled at her: “I wish to enter one of Yuan’s remaining treasures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yin Shenwang’s expression changed slightly: “One of Yuan’s remaining treasures?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Any one will do—I don’t care which,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yin Shenwang looked at Luo Feng: “Choose another condition. The Thunder Ancient Kingdom’s imperial clan will never release Yuan’s resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the only condition,” Luo Feng said. “If you refuse, I’ll continue seizing the border’s heavenly treasures—one hundred epochs, a thousand epochs—I’ll take my time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yin Shenwang shook her head lightly: “Very well. I’ll return and consult the monarch first—this is beyond my authority to decide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the two ancient kingdoms, Yuan’s resources were the most core. Next came the resources brought back by the Ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even foreign races crossing vast Hunyuan space to reach the Origin Continent did so for Yuan’s resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yin Shenwang finished speaking and immediately vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to my Master’s words, my chances of success are very high,” Luo Feng waited patiently. As a non-imperial cultivator, to enter one of Yuan’s treasures—based on his Master’s insight—this was the only way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Lei Xiao, the monarch bathed in thunder, was also startled. “He wants to enter one of Yuan’s remaining treasures?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. It’s his only condition—any treasure will do,” Jia Yin Shenwang said. “If we refuse, he’ll continue seizing the border’s heavenly treasures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Xiao pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entry slots to treasures were precious, but still had value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavenly treasures born along the border were individually ordinary, but when accumulated over long periods, their total value became terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a thousand epochs, the treasures he’s seized are worth at least five hundred million merit points. If he remains in the Chaos Realm for several thousand epochs, our losses will be immense,” Jia Yin Shenwang said. “Moreover, monopolizing such vast quantities will cause severe shortages of mid- and low-tier resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Xiao understood his subordinate’s meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. Agree to him. Give him the lowest-value treasure slot,” Lei Xiao said. “The treasure named ‘Infinite Space’—one slot. The guest Shenwang exchange price is fifty million merit points. That’s the lowest value.” Jia Yin Shenwang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two ancient kingdoms did release some peripheral Yuan resources for guest exchange—but the exchange price remained extremely high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That slot will do,” Lei Xiao said. With a thought, he retrieved a silver token from the imperial treasury; it floated before Jia Yin Shenwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yin Shenwang immediately accepted the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Capital, Luo Feng’s cave dwelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The monarch has agreed,” Jia Yin Shenwang said to Luo Feng. “In exchange for your promise to forever abandon your struggle for the heavenly treasures along the border, we grant you one slot to a treasure left by Yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once pledged, given the value of this transaction, it becomes a great causality,” Jia Yin Shenwang looked at Luo Feng. “If you break your promise, even if you reach peerless Shenwang First Realm, the backlash of causality can instantly obliterate all your incarnations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Luo Feng said, comprehending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, a peerless Shenwang First Realm cultivator had extraordinary survival ability—even emperors and monarchs couldn’t claim they could instantly destroy all incarnations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you deliberately court death by forging a great causality and then deliberately break it—the monarch merely needs to exploit the causality backlash and strike Shunshi , and all your incarnations will be annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had pledged, Luo Feng would naturally not seize the border’s treasures. If he truly needed any heavenly treasures from the border, he’d rather purchase them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here is the entry token for one of Yuan’s treasures: ‘Infinite Space,’” Jia Yin Shenwang placed a silver token on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng gazed at the silver token, filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most core opportunity on the Origin Continent! Besides the “Lie Yuan Art,” he had just gained another chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum.” As Luo Feng reached out and touched the silver token, a flood of information instantly flooded into his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng now had basic knowledge of this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The deal is concluded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yin Shenwang smiled. “Luo He Dasheng, I’ve heard the true body of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom’s Huangfeng City Lord is imprisoned by you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ransom of only three hundred billion cosmic sands—worth one hundred thousand merit points—has still not been paid by Huangfeng City Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you release him?” Jia Yin Shenwang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He still owes me 220 billion cosmic sands,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll pay it,” Jia Yin Shenwang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Huangfeng City Lord was released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jia Yin Shenwang,” Huangfeng City Lord, seeing Jia Yin Shenwang, bowed deeply in gratitude. “Thank you, Jia Yin Shenwang, for saving me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I paid 220 billion cosmic sands to free you. From now on, you serve me. When you repay the debt, you regain your freedom. Agreed?” Jia Yin Shenwang looked at Huangfeng City Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Huangfeng City Lord did not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, he had tried every way to gather the ransom—every Shenwang in the Thunder Ancient Kingdom had exploited him mercilessly, and he had refused them all. Finally, Jia Yin Shenwang was willing to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go,” Jia Yin Shenwang immediately took Huangfeng City Lord and departed. As they left, Huangfeng City Lord couldn’t help glancing back at Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Huangfeng City Lord’s domineering nature, his heart trembled—he wanted nothing more than to stay far away from Luo He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining the silver token for Yuan’s treasure “Infinite Space,” Luo Feng did not rush to enter. Instead, he first went to consult his Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, the Thunder Ancient Kingdom agreed. They gave me the token for the treasure ‘Infinite Space,’” Luo Feng said, presenting the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Infinite Space?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Chu looked at the silver token and nodded lightly. “I expected the Thunder Ancient Kingdom would offer a low-value slot—but this is too low.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very low value?” Luo Feng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some of Yuan’s treasures drive Shenwang to madness. This one is quite ordinary,” Emperor Chu said. “I’ll send you all the intelligence the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom has on this treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng soon received the complete intelligence on the treasure—far more detailed than the information embedded in the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think it’s quite impressive,” Luo Feng said after reviewing the intelligence. Perhaps it was just because he hadn’t seen other treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regardless, explore carefully,” Emperor Chu said. “This treasure may hold undiscovered secrets. Any treasure left by Yuan must not be underestimated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master,” Luo Feng immediately replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meditation chamber of his cave dwelling, within the Star Tower, Luo Feng held the silver token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the information, it is the mind, guided by the silver token, that enters the treasure realm known as the Infinite Space?” This avatar of Luo Feng sat cross-legged and immediately activated the silver token in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, a thread of consciousness, guided by the token, was sent to the treasure realm, “Infinite Space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver token itself also vanished without a trace! Each token could be used only once; after use, it disappeared and would later reappear randomly somewhere on the Origin Continent, silently and unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1985,"2026-06-20T20:44:59.403Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c484591310336d6c941ddec472e10c06566706646874fc39c916b908d40ff349","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-154","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-152",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
