Countless cultivators were thrilled, and many Eternal True Gods from the Shi Nation and Yu Nation rushed over, eager to join the Dao River Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A sect founded by Luo He Shenwang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He Shenwang was the absolute number one even in the Chaos Realm; after becoming a Shenwang, he could immediately rival the ruler of the Shi Nation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who among the cultivators in the dozens of surrounding Chaos States didn’t know the tyrannical nature of the Shi Nation’s ruler? For countless eons, the Shi Nation had been eroding and swallowing neighboring territories, inflicting heavy losses even on the Yu Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng’s battle with the Shi Nation’s ruler, during which he forcibly seized ten Chaos States from them, had already proven his dominance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would the Shi Nation’s ruler have ceded ten Chaos States?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During our first recruitment, we enrolled 1,508 Eternal True Gods, over thirty thousand Void True Gods, and despite extremely strict screening, still recruited over fifty thousand True Gods,” Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa added from beside him: “We raised the thresholds as high as we could, but the number of cultivators who came to apply was overwhelming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The numbers exceeded my expectations,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the sect was newly founded and its operations likely still flawed, we had intended to strictly limit the scale of this first recruitment, setting very high conditions—yet the final number of selected disciples was several times higher than estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mainly because, beyond our own twenty Chaos States, too many cultivators from the Shi Nation and Yu Nation rushed over,” Yuan said. “Neither the Shi Nation’s ruler nor the Yu Nation’s ruler has founded a sect; only the most elite and brilliant Eternal True Gods from their own nations are invited to become their disciples. The numbers are simply too few.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded—he himself, when he had been sufficiently outstanding, had received an invitation from the Yu Nation’s ruler to become his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how many could reach such a level of brilliance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the Shi Nation’s ruler and the Yu Nation’s ruler, disciples mean little,” Luo Feng said. For those at their level, the resources their nations provided were primarily meant for their families and subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cared more about the resources left behind by Yuan, and more about cultivating their own Hunyuan bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of the disciples we recruited this time, only about one-third are from our own twenty Chaos States,” Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll leave the sect’s affairs to the two of you,” Luo Feng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured,” Mo Luo Sa replied immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they appeared to be merely Chaos Realm cultivators, Mo Luo Sa was still a Shenwang; together, they were more than sufficient to manage the sect’s daily affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We might need you to grant some disciple slots,” Yuan said. “Just honorary disciple slots—this will motivate the disciples to strive harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded: “First, grant ten honorary disciple slots and one direct disciple slot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough,” Yuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Luo Sa, listening nearby, felt a sudden stir in his heart: “Is the master planning to recruit a second direct disciple? Then Qing Yan’s position won’t be so secure anymore. This kid cultivates the bloodline system—I’ve personally guided him and provided resources—but he’s only managed to master one Chaos Realm technique so far! He’s still far, far from reaching the Chaos Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take the former Blood Cloud Shenjun—he mastered numerous Chaos Realm techniques and even constructed a complete system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll have to push him hard,” Mo Luo Sa resolved inwardly. He knew well: the master’s talent was extraordinary, and the Dao River Sect was recruiting widely; in the future, the master’s direct and honorary disciples would all possess exceptional talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only if Qing Yan reached the Chaos Realm and leveraged his status as the senior disciple could he secure his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even as the senior disciple, merely an Eternal True God, he would eventually be marginalized among the other disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The founding of the Dao River Sect was a major event in Hu Yang City, and in the Shi Nation and Yu Nation—but it was utterly insignificant across the entire Origin Continent. Even calling the Dao River Sect a second-tier force was too generous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of territory and overall sect strength, it was far too weak—only its sect master, “Luo He Shenwang,” could be considered a regional overlord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, half a century had passed since the founding of the Dao River Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? The Gui Xu Emperor invites me to the treasure realm ‘Mengyu’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While in seclusion, Luo Feng received an invitation from the Reincarnation Pavilion. His heart stirred; he immediately used his token to project his consciousness into the Reincarnation Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusory pavilion had been visited by Luo Feng several times since becoming a formal member. After becoming a Shenwang, he had received several mission invitations but declined them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He, little brother,” said two figures inside the Reincarnation Pavilion—one being the mission organizer, “Gui Xu Emperor,” a burly man smiling as he called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He,” said the other figure—a one-eyed woman in a pale green robe, radiating a faint aura of malevolence: Yun Tian Shenwang, also a Level One Shenwang, the only other Level One Shenwang in the Reincarnation Pavilion besides Luo Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng sat down casually and asked: “Who else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Xin Shenwang will arrive shortly,” said Gui Xu Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few breaths later, a young man entered with a smile: “Big Brother Gui Xu, are there any other members?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, it’s just the four of us,” Gui Xu Emperor chuckled. “Luo He, little brother, you’re rarely willing to join—we’re thrilled you accepted this time. This is your first time agreeing to a mission since joining the Reincarnation Pavilion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xin Shenwang added: “Luo He, little brother, you’ve been busy lately—just became a Shenwang, fought the Tiankun Nation’s ruler, and now you’ve founded a sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just finished,” Luo Feng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Founding a sect is just another burden,” said the one-eyed woman, Yun Tian Shenwang. “If you ever attract great trouble, the sect becomes your weakness.” Gui Xu Emperor said: “Luo He, little brother, you’re different from us—you excel at body division and cultivate multiple Dao paths; your survival techniques are far stronger. Even if you attract great trouble, how many would truly pursue you to the death? I’ve seen it clearly: on the Origin Continent, survival ability matters more than killing ability!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly,” Wu Xin Shenwang nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two still think your survival techniques are weak?” Yun Tian Shenwang shook her head in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui Xu Emperor, in his previous life, was killed by three Emperor-level cultivators—but still had time to reincarnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xin Shenwang’s direct combat power matched Gui Xu Emperor’s, but his escape ability was even stronger—he evaded multiple sieges by the Yan Feng Ancient Nation. Later, to protect his clan, he deliberately allowed himself to be killed and reincarnated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reincarnating, he hid in the shadows; even the Yan Feng Ancient Nation couldn’t trace him through karmic ties. They grew even more fearful, and dared not easily strike at his clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping his clan alive was a form of leverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yan Feng Ancient Nation had learned their lesson: a terrifying Shenwang with no attachments and boundless hatred posed a massive threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the three Emperors had killed Gui Xu Emperor’s wife, children, clan, and every living soul in his city, believing they could utterly exterminate him. But Gui Xu Emperor’s abilities surpassed their expectations—he endured for a fleeting instant against their combined killing techniques, even after surrendering his secret treasure, and had just enough time to reincarnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reincarnating, Gui Xu Emperor pursued every possible means to destroy the Yan Feng Ancient Nation, especially targeting newly ascended Shenwang—they were weaker. Gui Xu Emperor, with his superior strength, relentlessly hunted them down, even destroying their resurrection vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To date, he has completely eradicated seven or eight Shenwang of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation—leaving them deeply pained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s get to the matter at hand,” Gui Xu Emperor sat upright. “I’m preparing to enter the treasure realm ‘Mengyu.’ I invited all members; only the four of us agreed to go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan left multiple treasure realms across the Origin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some require special entry permits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others are open to anyone—but because there are no restrictions, the thresholds are extremely high! Powerful factions try to monopolize them; to enter, you must fight your way in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mengyu…” Luo Feng knew the intelligence on this treasure realm well. “With my strength, I can’t fight my way in! If I use connections with the Yan Feng Ancient Nation, I’d have to serve as their subordinate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guest minister’s role was exactly that: you could enter—but only if you completed countless tasks. Even the treasures you found, the majority went to the imperial clan. That was the price of entry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Usually, we three go on missions together,” Gui Xu Emperor chuckled. “Now with Luo He, little brother, it’ll be much easier. Many dangerous situations can be handled by having Luo He, little brother, scout ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave it to me,” Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scouting danger could be handled by weaker clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, we four operate as a team: Yun Tian Shenwang handles domains,” Gui Xu Emperor said. “I and Wu Xin handle strong enemies; Luo He, little brother, handles reconnaissance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Previously, reconnaissance was always my job,” Wu Xin Shenwang said cheerfully. “I’m good at escaping, but I only have one true body. If I run into serious trouble, I can’t even flee. Now it’s perfect—Luo He, little brother… his scouting is far superior to mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Luo Feng’s clones didn’t care about fleeing at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t the others usually join?” Luo Feng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xin Shenwang replied: “Feng Du and Earth Shenwang—they’re both powerful enough to rival Emperors and Lords! Unless it’s a matter of immense importance, they’d never join. To them, we’re not helpers—we’re burdens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empress Feng Du had an excellent reputation and had never broken ties with any faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth Shenwang, though fiercely battling the Lei Feng Ancient Nation, always acted alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Master Da Zi is second only to the ‘Lord of the Ten Thousand Worlds’ and is his direct disciple—he holds high rank and power, and doesn’t lack resources. He rarely joins missions,” Wu Xin Shenwang said. “Tian Du Wang is the direct disciple of the Yan Feng Primogenitor; he also rarely joins missions. As for ‘Black Fire Demon Lord,’ he commands a major force and won’t easily participate in missions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only the most top-tier resources on the Origin Continent can draw these three to join,” Wu Xin smiled. “I, Gui Xu, and Yun Tian—our three are all loners, so we often go on missions together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now we have one more: Luo He, little brother,” Gui Xu Emperor laughed. “Though Luo He, little brother, leads a faction, he has many clones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our team is stronger now,” Wu Xin was also satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s thanks to Big Brother Gui Xu and Big Brother Wu Xin leading me—I’m the weakest in the team,” said the green-robed one-eyed woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Feng also said: “This is my first mission—I’m unfamiliar. If anything comes up, please speak plainly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo He, little brother, you’re too polite,” Gui Xu Emperor still held Luo Feng in high regard—he had become a Shenwang so powerful so quickly. What heights might he reach? He would be a tremendous asset on Gui Xu’s path to revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps now, Luo He was unwilling to clash with the Yan Feng Ancient Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by leveraging Luo He to gain more treasure realm resources and grow stronger himself—that was also a form of cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To enter the treasure realm ‘Mengyu,’ we must rely on Gui Xu Emperor and Wu Xin Emperor to fight our way in,” Luo Feng understood clearly: Gui Xu Emperor and Wu Xin Emperor were unquestionably at the peak of Level Two Shenwang, stronger than Tiankun Nation’s ruler. Reaching this level was the absolute limit for a normal Level Two Shenwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To advance further—to reach Emperor or Lord level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to known methods on the Origin Continent:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either attain a complete Origin Dao, like the Lord of the Ten Thousand Worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or cultivate into a “Ultimate Life Form,” like the Emperors and Lords of the two Ancient Nations—requiring immense resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or possess extraordinary talent, like Empress Feng Du and the Mother River Lord, who cultivate multiple Dao paths and powerful lineages… and thus can rival that level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since everyone agrees, let’s gather at Huang Yao Mountain in three days,” Gui Xu Emperor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2126,"2026-06-20T20:44:59.403Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1d22a93c458e48e9299ddaa8464751f6bc1ea2c86fee47a7f0a041784a356efe","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-193","devouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-chapter-191",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdevouring-the-starry-sky-2-the-origin-continent-cover.jpg"]
