Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 244 A Change of Court Makes the World Vast

The following morning, a divine king's secret treasure flying ship quietly rose from Xuandu and headed towards the Eastern Extreme Region.

If the flying boat were to travel on its own, it would take a whole day.

However, if the Queen of Fudu were to personally control it, it would naturally be even faster.

Inside the boat, the Empress of Fengdu's gaze fell upon the burly man who had transformed from Mohe.

"You also enslaved a Beast of the Realm?" She looked at Mohe with great interest.

Hu Yanbo did not hide the fact that there was a Beast King. For someone like the Empress of Fengdu, even if the Beast King grew to the ultimate God King realm, she could still escape from him, let alone the progenitor of the Eastern Extreme Domain behind him.

"Master, I...I'm a little scared—" Mohe felt his scalp tingle from the stare and shrank back.

As the king of the Beast Realm, the difference in life level between it and Fengdu at this moment is like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

A single glance from the Empress of Fengdu was enough to annihilate it a billion times over.

"Senior sister, it's still small, don't scare it," Hu Yanbo said to help.

"Ha," the Queen of Wind City chuckled, "It's just that I've never seen such a 'weak' Beast King before."

"Back then, when the Purple Wood God King brought back that one, it was already an Ultimate Realm being when it appeared on the Origin Continent, helping him sweep away his great enemy and avenge his grievances."

Her gaze then shifted to Mohe, a hint of teasing in her voice: "But what about you? Why are you still stuck on the Eternal God?"

"Everyone says that realm beasts are the easiest to raise, they'll eat anything you give them and grow extremely fast. How did you, their master, manage to raise them?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo showed a rare hint of embarrassment.

"I've been cultivating too fast, and I haven't had time to think about it."

Hu Yanbo remembered that he had promised Mohe before leaving that he would hunt Chaos Realm beasts for it as food. However, on the way back, he was carried by the Empress of Fengdu through the void and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Mohe muttered to himself, "It's because I haven't eaten; otherwise, I could definitely surpass my master."

A moment of silence fell over the airship, followed by a soft laugh from the Empress of Fengdu.

Hu Yanbo rubbed his temples and shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, I'll definitely feed you when we reach the Eastern Pole Region."

"It's definitely going to happen again—" Mohe muttered softly, his tone full of grievance that said, "I don't believe you."

The Queen of Fengdu glanced at it, a slight smile playing on her lips: "If he won't feed it, I will."

As the atmosphere inside the boat relaxed, Mohe's eyes immediately lit up.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the flying boat silently traversed countless national territories, finally arriving at the edge of the far eastern land of the Origin Continent.

As far as the eye could see, the earth was vast and desolate, the mountains and rivers were sparse, and the chaotic air currents between heaven and earth seemed much thinner.

Compared to the abundance and prosperity of the central continent, this place can indeed be described as barren.

"Although it is a remote and desolate place, it is still suitable for living," the Empress of Fengdu said softly. "It is much better than the perpetually frozen ice plains of the North and the blazing fire domains of the South."

Mohe leaned against the porthole and suddenly exclaimed, "The creatures here seem to be exceptionally large!"

Sure enough, wherever the light reached, whether it was the strange beasts roaming the mountains or the cultivators walking on the earth, their bodies were all a size larger than those in other places, and their blood energy was also more abundant.

"Those who live in the Eastern Extreme Region are the true natives of the Origin Continent," Empress Fengdu said with a smile.

"Bloodline is born strong, and physique is the most natural weapon."

"Therefore, creatures at the bottom of society rarely rely on external things. For them, their own bodies are the best weapons."

She paused, then added, "Of course, once you reach the Chaos Realm or the God King level, you will also begin to use real treasures to amplify your combat power when facing powerful enemies of the same level."

""

They are indigenous people, but they are not fools.

Not caring about external things and pursuing inner qualities does not mean that one can easily discard external things when they can increase one's combat power or chance of survival.

As the Empress of Fengdu spoke, she raised her right hand, her fingertips flicking gently, and a wisp of divine power rippled outwards, causing ripples to spread through space and time.

In an instant, a stable spacetime tunnel unfolded in front of the airship, and the scenery at the end of the tunnel changed, directly connecting to the far-off other side—the core area of ​​the Eastern Extreme Region.

At the other end of the passage, what came into view was not dazzling divine light and magnificent phenomena, but a simple and natural scene:

The mountains stand still, the rivers flow gently, and the palaces and pavilions are built according to the terrain, blending seamlessly with the heavens and earth, exuding a tranquility that returns to simplicity.

"Let's go."

Empress Fengdu stepped into the passage first, followed closely by Huyanbo and Mohe.

With one step, the surrounding scenery changed instantly, and I found myself in that simple yet magnificent palace complex.

"Junior brother," the Empress of Fengdu pointed to a palace not far away, which was made of ancient trees and was magnificent yet elegant.

"That is my residence. The other palaces are all unclaimed; you may choose any one to stay in temporarily."

"After you have chosen a place to stay, I will take you to meet your teacher."

"The teacher only has an avatar permanently residing in the Origin Continent."

"What you saw before was just a projection of the teacher."

"Anyone who comprehends the ultimate Dao can sense all the movements in this world under the suppression of the Sourceless World."

"If one is skilled in domain techniques, one can even make the projection appear anywhere on the continent."

"I understand, Senior Sister." Hu Yanbo nodded in agreement, then looked at Mohe and Yuanzu beside him.

"You should also choose a palace to stay in."

"Okay!" Yuanzu nodded.

From the Cosmic Sea to the Origin Continent, from the Qinglan Sect to the Eastern Extreme Region, following Hu Yanbo's path, we climbed higher and higher, constantly changing our environment.

For him, it was the norm to rush from one place to another before he had even settled in.

Moreover, the Primordial Ancestor clearly saw that this time, the place where they landed was under the tutelage of the Primordial Ancestor of the Eastern Extreme Domain.

Compared to before, the shelter is stronger, the resources are wider, and the road ahead is clearer.

If that's the case, why not do it?

"Yes, Master!" Mohe replied obediently.

"Here, for you, little world beast." The Queen of Fengdu smiled slightly and casually tossed out a storage ring.

Mohe instinctively took it, and probing inside with his divine sense, he was immediately overjoyed: "Master's senior sister is so generous! She keeps her word!"

Inside the ring were six already dead Chaos Realm beasts.

For the Beast of the Realm, becoming a Chaos Realm cultivator is no longer a problem, and even the path to becoming a God King has been shortened considerably.

Feng hope's residence is not in any palace.

Instead, it sits cross-legged in the middle of the mountains and valleys, in a wide and peaceful valley.

When Hu Yanbo arrived at the entrance of the valley with Empress Fengdu, he saw the majestic figure in the distance—dressed in dark blue, with a calm and profound aura, yet seemingly resonating with the entire world.

She was surrounded by a warm and magnificent turquoise glow, not an intentionally emanating pressure, but a naturally flowing life force, gentle yet unfathomable, immersing the entire valley in an indescribable tranquility.

call out!

Two streaks of light swept in from the horizon and landed outside the valley. Empress Fengdu bowed first: "Teacher, Junior Brother has arrived."

Huyanbo also bowed solemnly: "Disciple Huyanbo greets Master."

Feng hope slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were clear as jade, their light gentle and peaceful, without any sense of oppression, yet they seemed to reflect one's soul.

As the most benevolent of the four God Emperors, she has always presented herself as gentle.

"Huyanbo," she said, her voice like a gentle breeze in a valley, "you are still in the Chaos Realm, yet you have already cultivated two Great Paths simultaneously and have gained insights into many branches. Your talent is truly rare."

Feng hope pondered for a moment, then continued, "However, I suggest that when your cultivation is progressing rapidly, you don't need to rush to cultivate multiple paths simultaneously."

"It is more appropriate to prioritize choosing the path that best suits you and focus on moving forward."

"When you realize that the road ahead has temporarily ended, it will not be too late to borrow another path to replenish your fighting strength."

In the Origin Continent, it is not uncommon for people to cultivate multiple paths, but most of them are those who have been trapped in their cultivation realm for a long time and make this choice in order to improve their combat power.

Very few people, like Hu Yanbo, can pursue two parallel paths during the rapid improvement phase.

At least, Feng hope himself didn't cultivate in this way back then.

"Disciple understands," Huyan Bo replied respectfully.

Feng hope looked at him calmly and said nothing more.

She could hear the persistence behind that "I understand"—geniuses always have their own pride and path.

As a teacher, she can offer reminders, but she won't forcefully change things.

"Given the extent to which he is favored by the supreme rules, even if there are slight delays in the two Great Paths, he should still be able to break through on one path by focusing on it when the Origin Continent comes to an end," Feng hope thought to himself.

Comprehending the many mysteries of the branches of the Great Dao is only the beginning;

Then comes truly understanding the entire branch, then merging the branches together, and finally mastering the complete Dao.

Each step is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than the last.

While it is amazing to be able to grasp the mysteries of multiple branches in the Chaos Realm, it does not mean that one can quickly pave the way for the next step.

That was exactly what Feng hope was considering.

But he's a genius!

They always have their own pride.

"Fine."

Feng hope didn't try to persuade him any further. He flipped his hand and took out a token that shimmered with a faint blue light. With a gentle flick of his wrist, the token floated to Hu Yanbo's face.

"This token contains ten million merit points, which I am giving you for your use during the Chaos Realm stage."

"Once you become a god-king, there will be another reward."

Although the Eastern Extreme Region does not possess the boundless resources of the two ancient kingdoms, it has become a distinct power with its own set of rules for operation.

The system of rewarding merit was also adopted and continued.

Without such a system, how can we inspire those who come after us to strive for excellence?

Wouldn't this breed lazy and indolent people?

Of course, the variety of treasures that can be exchanged in the Eastern Extreme Region is certainly not as extensive as those in the two ancient kingdoms, but as the direct disciple of the ancestor, Hu Yanbo's authority and the rare items he can access are far beyond what he could have known when he was a guest minister in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

"Thank you, teacher!" Hu Yanbo accepted the token with both hands and bowed solemnly.

Once outside the valley, Empress Fengdu saw Huyan Bo holding the token, a glint of light in his eyes, and couldn't help but laugh, "What, are you already itching for something?"

Hu Yanbo nodded frankly: "I do want to see what treasures are in the Eastern Extreme Region's treasury."

"Come with me."

The Queen of Fengdu led him directly into the heart of this region. Before long, a seemingly simple...

It is actually an ancient stone hall with a restrained Taoist charm.

"This place is the only place in my Eastern Region where you can exchange merits for treasures," said the Empress of Fengdu, pointing to the stone hall.

Hu Yanbo was slightly taken aback: "The only one?"

"Not bad." Empress Fengdu nodded. "The thirteen emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom each have their own imperial palaces, so the exchange locations are naturally scattered."

"As for my Eastern Extreme Region, although it is divided into twelve regions and has twelve emperors, even I can only barely compare to the Emperor."

"Therefore, all treasures and scriptures are gathered here, and can only be exchanged here."

Hu Yanbo understood.

Indeed, although the Eastern Extreme Region nominally has twelve regions and twelve emperors, apart from the Empress of Fengdu who, with her special opportunities and background, can barely be compared to the emperors of ancient kingdoms.

The remaining eleven emperors, though also at the second level of the God King realm, were at most comparable to regional overlords like the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom, far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with true emperors.

Just as they were pondering, the ancient gate of the stone hall slowly opened, and a figure walked out from it.

That was a burly man clad in red armor, whose aura was as imposing as a mountain; he was none other than the Crimson Sky God Emperor, one of the Twelve Emperors.

Behind him followed a disciple of the Chaos Realm, who held a newly exchanged crimson scale in his hand, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy.

The Crimson Sky God Emperor looked up and saw the Wind Capital Empress. Just as he was about to nod in greeting, his gaze fell on Huyan Bo.

Chaos Realm?

The Crimson Sky God Emperor frowned almost imperceptibly.

Could it be Xiao Feng, the first person to transcend the Chaos Realm, and another disciple of the founder of the Eastern Extreme Domain?

These shocking news items, which reverberated throughout the Origin Continent, had already spread like wildfire.

As one of the twelve emperors of the Eastern Extremity Region, even though he usually cultivates in seclusion within his own territory, he would never miss such rumors that sweep through the top circles.

However, knowing about it is one thing, but seeing it in person, especially in such a central place, is quite another.

Empress Fengdu remained calm and said to Huyan Bo, "Junior Brother, this is Emperor Chiqiong."

He then looked at Chi Qiong and said briefly, "This is my junior brother, Xiao Feng. He is the Ancestor's newly accepted disciple."

The Crimson Sky God Emperor immediately straightened his expression and took the initiative to cup his hands and say, "Greetings, Senior Brother Huyanbo."

Although the eleven emperors of the Eastern Pole Domain had not formally become disciples of Feng hope, they had all received her teachings and guidance, and in their hearts they already considered themselves disciples of the Eastern Pole Domain lineage.

Normally, she would respectfully address the Empress of Fengdu as "Senior Sister".

Now that the ancestor has taken on a personal disciple, they should naturally address him as their senior brother according to seniority.

Upon hearing this, the Chaos Realm disciple behind the Crimson Sky God Emperor's eyes widened in disbelief. He had only been in the hall for a short time, studying the secret technique and exchanging for a treasure, so how could the Great Ancestor have already taken on a disciple?

The Chaos Realm disciple secretly sensed that Hu Yanbo's aura was so well concealed that it was impossible to discern its depth.

Now that Hu Yanbo's will has entered the second level of the God King realm, he has been endowed with the mysteries of many branches of the Great Dao of Life, and his control over his own life force has reached a state of perfection.

Let alone the Chaos Realm, even the Crimson Sky God Emperor, a second-level God King, would find it difficult to see through his true strength at a glance without deliberate investigation.

Seeing that his disciple was still in a daze, the Crimson Sky God Emperor raised his hand and lightly patted him on the back of the head.

The disciple jumped in surprise and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Martial Uncle!"

Huyanbo accepted the greeting calmly, nodding slightly.

But I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder—a change of scenery can make all the difference.

Just a moment ago in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, he still had to be polite to the First-Class Marquis and the God King;

At this moment in the Eastern Extreme Region, a powerful expert at the second level of the God King realm, comparable to the ruler of the Food Kingdom, calls him Senior Brother, while a powerful expert at the Chaos Realm respectfully calls him Uncle-Master.

Having a powerful backer really makes a difference.

Empress Fengdu glanced at Emperor Chiqiong and said casually, "Chiqiong, you go ahead and get busy. I'll take Junior Brother Xiao Feng inside for a look around."

"Yes, Senior Sister." The Crimson Sky God Emperor immediately agreed, then cupped his hands in a salute to Huyan Bo, "Senior Brother Xiao Feng, farewell."

Having said that, he turned and left with his disciple, who was still in a daze, and their figures quickly disappeared into the distant mountains and clouds.

After they had gone some distance, Empress Fengdu turned to Huyan Bo, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Let's go, junior brother."
