Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 251 Rewards

"Teacher, I have already created a tenth-order secret technique. Should I break through and try to enter the cycle of reincarnation?" Luo Feng asked respectfully.

Hu Yanbo's avatar looked at the disciple before him, feeling quite emotional.

Luo Feng's talent and comprehension are indeed remarkable. With ample resources and clear guidance, his progress is astonishingly fast.

It would normally take more than half a cycle of reincarnation to become a true god, but now it has been achieved in less than half a century of the original universe.

Moreover, in terms of willpower and secret techniques, he is no weaker than the original characters of the same period.

"Okay." Hu Yanbo hesitated for a moment.

Hu Yanbo was very clear that if Luo Feng stayed in the original universe, one of the important opportunities he could gain was to personally experience and understand the "cosmic destruction" at the end of a cycle of reincarnation.

This insight has unique value in understanding the principles of life, destruction, and other fundamental truths.

If he were to ask, the primordial cosmic will would most likely be willing to do him a favor and arrange something for Luo Feng.

The problem is that this current cycle is not even halfway over yet.

Waiting for natural destruction would take far too long.

Given Luo Feng's demonstrated talent and growth rate, if he had spent that time on the Origin Continent, where the laws are clearer and the resources are more abundant, his progress would have far exceeded that of staying in the Primordial Universe and waiting for that sense of destruction.

By then, his realm will probably have already risen to another level, and that sense of annihilation will probably be of little use.

After all, in the original story, Luo Feng relied on that sense of destruction to comprehend the mysteries of life and death and break through to become an Eternal True God, but on the Origin Continent...

Luo Feng won't need that long to break through to the Eternal True God realm.

"Beyond the cycle of reincarnation lies the gathering place of ancient civilizations," Huyanbo continued.

"That place is vast and boundless, teeming with powerful beings, where the laws of nature are manifested more directly."

"Your talent can be better utilized there. As for your teacher—" Hu Yanbo said calmly.

"Although not invincible, he is certainly a powerful figure in his own right. Protecting you and paving the way for your future is not a problem."

"You don't need to worry about being a burden to me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was suddenly jolted.

The teacher's miniature universe is comparable to the primordial universe, and its power is truly incredible.

In that land where ancient civilizations gathered, he was merely "a powerful figure in one region," not invincible.

Just how brilliant and vast was that ancient civilization?

What unimaginable level must the "invincible one there" be at?

Shocked, an even more intense excitement and longing surged uncontrollably from the bottom of Luo Feng's heart.

That was a vast stage where even teachers admitted they couldn't beat it! Challenges, opportunities, and even higher peaks—

Everything filled him with excitement.

"However," Luo Feng looked at his teacher's calm yet unfathomable figure, his conviction unwavering.

"Given your talent and rate of progress, it won't be long before you reach the pinnacle and become the true invincible being of that ancient civilization!"

Luo Feng had no doubt about this.

The miracles the teacher had created along the way had already established his absolute confidence.

"Is Luo Feng coming?" In the Fengdu Palace of the Eastern Region of the Origin Continent, Hu Yanbo's true form stirred slightly.

"Even after he became a Void God, he was still considered to be at the bottom of the Origin Continent."

"I have now comprehended all six branches of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and by relying on the intuition of cause and effect, I can pinpoint his location the moment he arrives."

After a moment's thought, Hu Yanbo made a plan: "When the time comes, I'll give him some protective treasures and resources, and then let him go out and make his own way."

The Eastern Pole Region is vast and sparsely populated, so it's certainly worthwhile to come here for training. However, the Origin Continent is boundless and full of wonders.

Given sufficient resources, going out to see the world, fight, and adventure is far more effective for growth than staying indoors and studying in seclusion.

As Hu Yanbo was pondering this, his teacher Feng hope's voice transmission rang in his mind, instructing him to come and meet him after he emerged from seclusion.

Huyan Bo concealed his aura and walked out of the palace.

Outside the palace, the Queen of Fudu was already waiting.

Her gaze fell on Hu Yanbo, scrutinizing him carefully, as if trying to see through him. But after a while, she couldn't discern anything, so she smiled and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on ascending to the God King realm."

Hu Yanbo nodded slightly: "My senior sister helped me a great deal in becoming a God King."

"If it weren't for the opportunity that my senior sister gave me back then, I'm afraid I would have been stuck in the Chaos Realm for a long time and wouldn't have been able to get to this point so quickly."

Hu Yanbo's words came from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for the Empress of Fengdu taking the initiative to seek him out and giving him three hundred billion cosmic sands...

He's probably still repaying the task of becoming a transcendent being in the Chaos Realm, which he prepaid for.

After all, three hundred billion cosmic sands would take a very long time for someone at the Chaos Realm Transcendence stage to gather.

Furthermore, when he achieved the first level of transcendence in the Chaos Realm, he decisively awakened his teacher Feng hope, making it impossible for him to obtain the identity and resources personally passed down by the ancestor of the Eastern Extreme Domain.

The initial guidance and subsequent strong support saved him a lot of valuable time in gathering resources and figuring out the way forward.

These are crucial.

Upon hearing this, the Empress of Fengdu waved her hand and smiled heartily: "Junior Brother, you flatter me."

"Your success today is nine-tenths due to your own talent and hard work; I just gave you a push."

"Senior sister, you flatter me." Hu Yanbo said no more, keeping some of the kindness in his heart.

The Queen of Fengdu said no more, turned around and led the way: "Let's go, follow me to see the teacher."

"When you broke through, the teacher manifested an avatar to observe."

In the heart of the Eastern Extremity Region, Hu Yanbo once again followed Empress Fengdu to that tranquil valley to pay his respects to his teacher, Feng hope.

"Teacher." The two bowed respectfully together.

Feng hope's gaze fell on Hu Yanbo, his gentle and peaceful expression carrying a hint of approval.

"Very good." Feng hope said, her voice as gentle as a breeze sweeping through a valley.

"very good."

"Having transcended the primordial universe, he entered the Chaos Realm upon entering the Origin Continent. In just over twenty epochs, he ascended to the rank of God-King."

"This talent surpasses even that of the World Beasts."

"His divine body is powerful, and his will is even stronger."

"To possess the will of a God-King at the ultimate level in the Chaos Realm is extremely rare in the history of the Origin Continent."

"This means that your will is very likely to break through to a higher level before your divine body, just like that Emperor Ming."

Feng hope paused slightly, letting the weight of his words settle.

"If one's mind and will come first, one will achieve twice the result with half the effort in comprehending the Great Dao and will be more likely to touch upon its essence."

"These, combined with your talent, are enough to allow you to comprehend the complete Dao relatively easily."

Feng hope was in a rather pleasant mood at the moment. When he took Hu Yanbo as his disciple, it was more because he sensed the extraordinary favoritism shown to him by the supreme rules, a favor that even surpassed that shown to world beasts, which were born destroyers.

With such favor, achieving the ultimate realm of God King should be no problem.

However, she also has a hidden worry: excessive favoritism can sometimes be like a shackle, perhaps like a Beast of the Realm, locking in the upper limit and trapping people in the Source World.

Taking on a disciple who can reach the ultimate realm of God King in the future would certainly not tarnish her reputation, but that's all.

However, now, seeing that Hu Yanbo not only has a favorite but also displays such a strong and advanced level of will, Feng hope's opinion has changed.

Spiritual will is also a key aspect of the spiritual path.

Just look at those Beast Kings and you'll know.

The vast majority of them are associated with the birth and death of the source world.

However, within the Chaotic Origin Space, a Beast King broke this destiny and transcended the constraints of the Origin World.

What is it that they rely on?

It was precisely because his mind and will that he first achieved a fundamental breakthrough, thereby driving a qualitative change in the Great Dao of Destruction, and ultimately breaking free from its shackles.

That person has even started a business selling "Five-Colored Treasure Medicine" and "World Beast Blood Talisman" in the Hunyuan Space.

The willpower and potential that Hu Yanbo was displaying at this moment made Feng hope see a similar possibility.

This is no longer just a promising disciple, but a fellow traveler who is truly qualified to explore higher paths alongside her in the future.

"Your path is wider than I imagined," Feng hope finally said, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Now that you have broken through to the first level of the God King realm, I will reward you with 100 million merit points."

The Queen of Fengdu, standing to the side, widened her eyes slightly as she looked at her teacher.

One hundred million?

When she broke through to the God King realm, her teacher only gave her 50 million merit points.

This gap—

Feng hope's gaze seemed to penetrate people's hearts. She turned to Feng Du and said, "If you had the same talent and potential as your junior brother, I would have given you the same amount back then."

Feng hope paused briefly before continuing, "Furthermore, the Origin World is already in its final stages, and time is becoming increasingly urgent."

"Only by giving your junior brother more resources can he grow faster."

"And you—" Her gaze fell on Fengdu, "You've been stuck on the complete road for some time now."

"No external help can help with this hurdle."

"Even if you are given a lot of credit, it will be in vain if you don't gain that final understanding."

Upon hearing this, Empress Fengdu pursed her lips and said softly, "This disciple understands."

Feng hope is right.

Comprehending the complete Great Dao and achieving the ultimate realm of God King is the most crucial and difficult leap on the path of cultivation.

The Hunyuan Space might contain rare items that could help advance this level, but even her teacher would find it difficult to obtain items of that caliber easily.

The vast majority of practitioners must ultimately rely on their own efforts to explore and understand.

Seeing that Feng Du understood, Feng hope stopped talking and changed the subject to the important matter of cultivation.

She looked at Huyanbo and Fengdu and began to inquire about their recent cultivation experiences, the obstacles they had encountered, and their new understanding of the Great Dao they had comprehended.

After listening to the teachings of the progenitor Fengxi, Huyanbo and Empress Fengdu bowed respectfully and withdrew from the valley.

After leaving her teacher's secluded retreat, Empress Fengdu did not depart immediately. Instead, she looked at Huyan Bo beside her and asked, "Junior Brother, do you know that I once established a special force called 'The Reincarnation Pavilion'?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo nodded and said, "I am quite familiar with the name of the Samsara Pavilion, one of the many hidden forces on the Origin Continent."

"Did you mention it today, senior sister, to invite me to join?"

"Indeed." The Empress of Fengdu smiled slightly.

"Although I haven't truly tested my junior brother's strength yet, based on the potential he has shown and the teacher's evaluation today, he is naturally qualified to join my Samsara Pavilion."

The Reincarnation Pavilion has very few members, with only eight to date.

Among them, the Empress of Fengdu and the Earth God King are the strongest, both capable of directly confronting the emperors and monarchs of ancient kingdoms.

There are only about five people of this caliber on the entire Origin Continent, and the Reincarnation Pavilion alone has two of them.

As for the other six members, they are the Great Freedom Venerable Lord, the Returning Void Emperor, the Witch Heart God King, the Heavenly Capital King, the Black Fire Demon Lord, and the Cloud Heaven God King.

Among them, the Cloud Heaven God King was the weakest, only at the first level of the God King realm, but he was invincible at the first level and could contend head-on with an ordinary second-level God King.

Although she has not yet fought against Huyanbo, Empress Fengdu still has her own assessment of him.

"His true combat strength should be on the same level as that of the Cloud Heaven God King."

"As for its potential, it is unparalleled in the entire Reincarnation Building."

After a moment's thought, Hu Yanbo readily agreed: "Since Senior Sister personally invited me, I have no reason to refuse."

He knew in his heart that although he had a bright future, he still needed time to grow.

During this developmental period, if it is necessary to compete for certain key resources, it is obviously safer to join forces with a powerful figure like Senior Sister Fengdu than to fight alone.

We can't expect Teacher Feng hope to grant us everything directly; that's not the way to train disciples.

"Alright." The Empress of Fengdu smiled even more, and with a flick of her wrist, she took out a black token with an ancient design and a restrained aura, and handed it to Huyan Bo.

"This is a token used by members of the Reincarnation Pavilion. It is used for daily communication and dissemination of messages."

"There aren't many rules in the building, only two: First, members' identities must not be revealed to outsiders;"

"Second, once you agree to participate in the joint operation, you cannot withdraw or betray it midway. Of course, participation is entirely voluntary and there is no coercion."

The Queen of Fengdu added, "Because my Reincarnation Pavilion often does things that conflict with the interests of the two ancient kingdoms, the identities of its members must be kept secret."

"Except for myself and the Earth God King, who are of extraordinary strength and have no fear of revealing our identities, all the other members are hiding in the shadows."

"I understand, Senior Sister." Hu Yanbo took the token, nodded in agreement, and then separated a wisp of his mark and let it fall into the token.

In an instant, a strange mental space appeared in his perception.

As Hu Yanbo took control of the token, the tokens of the other members in the Reincarnation Building also simultaneously activated.

"Hmm? After so many years, new blood has joined the Reincarnation Pavilion again?"

"A newcomer invited by Fengdu? Interesting."

"To earn the approval of the wind, one must be no ordinary person."

Originating from various parts of the continent, several super beings stirred their thoughts, and powerful wills immediately descended upon the special space connected by the token.

When Huyan Bo's avatar entered, all he saw was a vast, illusory world.

In the center stands an ancient pavilion, with the words "reincarnation" inscribed on the lintel. The powerful strokes seem to convey the meaning of endless years and the cycle of life and death.

"Whoosh!"

His avatar appeared like a streak of light in front of the pavilion, and then stepped inside.

Inside the pavilion, the other eight figures, including the Empress of Fengdu, had already gathered. These avatars of consciousness were either solid or ethereal, each with a different aura, yet all exuded a chilling majesty.

Upon seeing Huyan Bo enter, Empress Fengdu stepped forward with a smile: "My junior brother has arrived. Let me introduce him to you all; this is my junior brother, Xiao Feng."

"Haha, Fengdu, how could we not know the name of the Great Sage Xiao Feng? The number one transcendent in the Chaos Realm, his reputation is illustrious!" A chubby man with a warm face and a round figure like Maitreya Buddha laughed first, his tone enthusiastic, "What's even more remarkable is that he possesses the will of the ultimate God King in the Chaos Realm. I admire him greatly."

This person is the Great Freedom Venerable Lord, a direct disciple of the Lord of Myriad Realms, and the second most important figure in the Myriad Realms after his master.

"Wrong, it's not the Great Sage anymore." Empress Fengdu corrected with a smile, "It's God King Xiao Feng. My junior brother has already broken through."

As she spoke, she led Hu Yanbo and introduced the members present one by one.

Apart from her, the other seven people had different appearances and temperaments.

The most eye-catching are the Earth God King and the Cloud God King.

The Earth God King was a taciturn and robust man with an aura as steady and heavy as a mountain. Just by standing there, he gave people a sense of unbreakable reliability.

Indeed, as the second strongest in the Reincarnation Tower and recognized as the best at surviving, he is the team's most solid support.

The other Cloud Heaven God King is the only female member in the Reincarnation Pavilion besides the Empress of Fengdu.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and introductions, Hu Yanbo gained a basic understanding of the members of the Reincarnation Pavilion.

This "welcome" party was not very formal, and everyone quickly dispersed, their minds returning to their physical bodies.

Hu Yanbo's thoughts also withdrew from the token space. He gripped the token in his hand, already having made his decision.
