Its resources are nowhere near those of Xiangjie City! Xiangjie City, after all, is a border city of two ancient kingdoms—its prosperity far surpasses this place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cultivation requires resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, your father and Mo Li Meng jointly serve as deputy city lords here. If you stay, are you going to take their positions?” Yun Ge said. “Besides, your second Master and Yuan Shenjun are both in Xiangjie City—they’ve both guided you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Mo Yu Qingyan nodded. “I’m only telling you because I’m feeling this way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For himself and for the future of their children, Xiangjie City was the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go,” Yun Ge said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm,” Mo Yu Qingyan replied, stepping out of their residence with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the city lord’s mansion, the entire Mo Yu family—including friends like Mo Li Meng—had gathered to see off Mo Yu Qingyan, his wife, and Mo Luo Sa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father,” Mo Yu Qingyan looked at his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yu Hu was deeply pleased and immediately sent a mental message: “Qingyan, City Lord Luo trusts me and took you as his disciple—these are immense favors. Never forget this great debt. Do not grow arrogant because of favor. If you become conceited and offend City Lord Luo… this bond will vanish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Mo Yu Qingyan nodded. Having followed his Master for so long, he knew his nature well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For cultivators, a great opportunity like this comes perhaps once in a lifetime. City Lord Luo is your greatest opportunity—remember this, remember this,” Mo Yu Hu said, watching his son’s future grow ever brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a short time, his son had become an Eternal True God—nearly a deputy city lord in Xiangjie City, and now wed to a princess of the Wang Clan. His prospects were boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second brother,” Mo Yu Liefeng looked at his brother. Though his own resources in Hu Yang City were decent, he had never received the focused guidance of someone like Mo Luo Sa, and from the start he had followed the bloodline cultivation path—he remained stuck at the Void True God stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In childhood, among the three brothers, he had been the most gifted. But Mo Yu Qingyan had Mo Luo Sa’s guidance and Luo Feng’s resources—clearly, it was a different world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Mo Yu Liefeng did not resent it. He felt only joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For in this world, he had only one brother left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know when we’ll meet again,” Mo Yu Liefeng said, gazing at his only brother. “Have more children with your wife. Of our three brothers, you’re the only one without any.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will,” Mo Yu Qingyan smiled, then turned to a young man in the distance and waved. “Feng Qiu, come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man approached. His features bore a resemblance to Mo Yu Liuxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yu Fengqiu was the son of Mo Yu Liuxing, the former third brother, who had died. His wife Mo Youshang had been pregnant at the time, and Fengqiu was born afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the clan’s demands, Mo Yu Fengqiu had followed the Law cultivation path in his early years and was still only a True God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa waited at a distance. Though he felt a hint of impatience, he said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally, we can depart,” Mo Luo Sa sighed in relief as Mo Yu Qingyan and his wife approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long been eager to enjoy good food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Master, let’s go,” Mo Yu Qingyan said, walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa nodded and waved his hand—a flying vessel appeared. Mo Luo Sa, Mo Yu Qingyan and his wife, along with their attendants, entered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the vessel pierced the sky and vanished into the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mo Yu family watched from afar. Hu Yang City and Xiangjie City were too distant; under normal circumstances, they would rarely see each other again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My second uncle is quite generous—he gave far more resources in one visit than my first uncle ever did,” Mo Yu Fengqiu thought to himself. Though his mother was strict, as the only child of Mo Yu Liuxing, he was pampered in the Mo Yu clan and unquestionably a noble in Hu Yang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the temperament of City Lord Luo meant that all the young members of the Mo Yu and Mo Li families had to be cautious and restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I trust Mo Yu Hu the most.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s clone in the city lord’s mansion also watched from afar. “Mo Yu Liefeng is decent enough, but the later generations of the Mo Yu family… are all rather mediocre.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Ying Tian Sect had ravaged the land, Mo Yu Liuxing had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng had once considered—if Mo Yu Liuxing’s son, Mo Yu Fengqiu, had a good heart, he might be nurtured a little. But with Luo Feng’s ability to observe the entire city with a single thought, after so long, he had abandoned the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa led Mo Yu Qingyan and his wife from Hu Yang City in Yu Kingdom, traveling through Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, first stopping at Chu Capital, then heading toward the border city of Xiangjie City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet chamber of Luo Feng’s mansion in Ying Tian Realm, inside the Star Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Jie Shou, Mo Luo Sa had possessed the ability to create clones even in his weakened state—a natural talent. His true body now remained within the Star Tower, fully absorbing the corpse of the Shenwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, Master,” Mo Luo Sa immediately summoned his master after only a short time of absorption. “What is it?” Luo Feng appeared in the level of the Star Tower reserved for Mo Luo Sa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Shenwang corpse is unusual,” Mo Luo Sa said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not suitable for consumption?” Luo Feng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa said: “This corpse greatly aids me, but its essence… could never have been cultivated by a mere First-Stage Shenwang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly: “What are you saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“While absorbing it, I clearly sensed that this corpse was forged from the profound mysteries of the ‘Material Origin Dao’ and the ‘Infinite Origin Dao’—the two Daos intertwined to form this body. Its profundity far exceeds my current realm. It is not the work of a First-Stage Shenwang. It may be from a Second-Stage Shenwang—or even a Supreme Shenwang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s heart jolted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Shenwang I killed had a powerful body, but I estimated he was merely at the peak of First-Stage Shenwang—far from the level of an invincible First-Stage Shenwang,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This body was likely crafted by an immensely powerful being,” Mo Luo Sa said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder… no wonder his spiritual will was so weak. His strongest asset was entirely external aid,” Luo Feng understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shenwang he had slain had extremely shallow roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gained his power solely through external aid—his body was not his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A body must be controlled by spiritual will,” Mo Luo Sa said. “This body has great potential. The dead Shenwang… had weak spiritual will, able to wield only a fraction of its power. Had his spiritual will been strong, his power would have surged dramatically.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, cultivating your own body and helping others cultivate theirs are entirely different challenges,” Mo Luo Sa said solemnly. “I can only rely on my internal ‘Realm’ to naturally give birth to life. But this hidden being… achieved this through his own realm. It is terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must be cautious of this being,” Mo Luo Sa said. “At least for now, we are no match for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a single corpse, they could already see the gap between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am only at the Chaos Realm. You are only at First-Stage Shenwang. Don’t even think about opponents—just grow stronger slowly,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm,” Mo Luo Sa nodded. He, too, had been stunned by absorbing the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Shenwang of Ying Tian Realm died, no news spread across the Origin Continent of any Shenwang’s death—this further confirmed for Luo Feng and Mo Luo Sa that this was likely a servant created by some terrifying being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Luo Feng encountered no further trouble. Clearly, the terrifying being who forged that body had no interest in targeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to the true peaks of the Origin Continent, I am still far too weak,” Luo Feng focused on his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shigu Kingdom’s ruler, Tiankun Guozhu, though a Second-Stage Shenwang and a regional overlord, was still far below the true peaks of the Origin Continent. The leaders of the hidden forces on the Origin Continent were all mysterious and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Two Worlds Palace, the Ten Thousand Methods Tower, the Time-Space Solitary Boat—these were forces both ancient kingdoms feared, each backed by alien supreme beings. Alien supreme beings only sent clones—eternally impossible to eradicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Origin Continent’s ancient kingdoms did not see Ying Tian Realm as a threat, yet Ying Tian Realm had once dispatched Emperor-level forces. Luo Feng had barely touched them and already sensed their depths were unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just a small fry—I’ll accumulate slowly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After consuming the Hunyuan Crystal Fruit and Qingxin Spirit Liquid, Luo Feng primarily meditated on the “Ten Directions World Form.” Only when exhausted did he turn to the “Jie Beast Diagram” to combat spiritual beings in the Infinite Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Infinite Space, he had exchanged for four top-tier transmissions—all only partial teachings for First-Stage Shenwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they had greatly broadened his horizons and made him acutely aware of the importance of “talent” and “spiritual will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Luo Feng’s Transformation Art—if his spiritual will were weaker, the number of his Three-in-One forms would drastically decline, and his power would plummet. Spiritual will also affected “understanding of the Dao” and “control over the body” and many other aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a feeling—if I try to meditate on the Six Branches of Life, I’ll master them all soon,” Luo Feng felt this intuitively during cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s not enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As the creator of ‘World Life Form’ said: don’t force meditation. Accumulate to the deepest level, and mastery will come naturally,” Luo Feng continued studying the Ten Directions World Form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Six Branches of Life and the Six Branches of Destruction had both reached the peak of the Chaos Realm over hundreds of eons—but clearly, their accumulation still differed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Six Branches of Destruction, Luo Feng felt no such certainty that meditation alone would lead to swift breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to the three new patrons: Shiwanshbaqian Meng Shaonian, Wu Ai Jie, Shenwei Xiaowei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fanqie also wishes all readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1859,"2026-06-20T20:44:59.403Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a1ed94392fbc34dd84cf55854bc6779a2407e354008cf6845f77a0fe66aec76c","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-166","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-164",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
