Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 271 Winning, Feng hope wants to keep winning.

In the easternmost region, at the Huyanbo Palace.

The entire Fengxi lineage gathered, and Huyanbo returned laden with spoils, his face beaming with smiles.

Feng hope is the same.

Only the Queen of Fengdu remained expressionless, her eyes glazed over.

"So, the one who fought and won against the Thunder Ancestor was my junior brother?" The Empress of Fengdu looked at Feng hope, her tone unsteady, as if she had fallen into an illusion.

She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly snapped back to reality, her eyes brightening: "My teacher is a God Emperor, and my junior brother can defeat the Thunder Ancestor. So, I, sandwiched in between, am the number one person below the God Emperor of the Origin Continent?"

Feng hope raised his hand and slapped her on the forehead: "Stop thinking nonsense, you still call yourself the number one person below the God Emperor."

"Have you asked Emperor Moth yet?"

"Have you asked the Emperor's husband yet?"

"If you don't work hard to break through, there are still billions of epochs before the end of this Origin World era. If you don't comprehend the complete Great Dao soon, you will have to leave this world."

"If you're going to venture into the Chaos Origin Space, having a clone left in the Origin World would be a huge advantage."

Empress Fengdu rubbed her forehead and grinned, "It's alright. If you really want to leave, go find my junior brother."

"My junior brother became a God Emperor after a hundred epochs, and was able to suppress the Thunder Ancestor. After billions of epochs, when I leave the Origin World, I will definitely live a very comfortable life."

Feng hope glared at her: "You're spineless!"

Empress Fengdu pouted and muttered, "That's right. My junior brother is so strong, it's always better to follow him than to wander around blindly on your own."

"Alright, I'll definitely protect Senior Sister when the time comes!" Hu Yanbo said with a smile.

He knew in his heart that without Fengdu, there would be no teacher Fengxi;

Without Feng hope, he would probably be caught up in the internal strife among the emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and unable to extricate himself.

"Junior brother is still the best." Feng Xi said happily.

"By the way, when will anyone from your primordial universe break through the cycle of reincarnation and come to the Origin Continent?"

"I see that the strong people from your side are kind, talented, and have pleasant manners."

"Your disciple Luo Feng might be able to comprehend the complete Great Dao before the end of the Origin World era." She paused, then added, "And my disciple Yuan also has the opportunity to become a second-level God King. Given enough time, he might even reach my level."

When the Primordial Ancestor broke through to the Chaos Realm, he solidified his illusory clone.

Empress Fengdu, despite being an emperor, almost failed to realize that the Yuan who remained in Dongdu was merely an illusory clone of him.

It was precisely because of that amazing skill that she decided to take Yuan under her wing and carefully guide him. Now, with a little more accumulation of knowledge, Yuan could become a God-King level expert.

Feng Du exclaimed, clicking his tongue in astonishment, "I never imagined that a God Emperor would emerge from a primordial universe on the edge of a source world."

"If another God-King and an Emperor emerge in the future, the number of powerful beings in one primordial universe will be greater than that in the Eastern Extreme Region."

Feng hope nodded slightly as she listened, "My grand-disciple Luo Feng is indeed quite talented; I've seen it for myself." As she finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow, as if remembering something, "He cultivates the Dao of Destruction and the Dao of Life, right?"

Feng hope turned to look at Hu Yanbo, raised his hand and flipped it open, revealing a book floating in his palm: "This is my understanding of the Great Dao of Life. I added some new content after breaking through to the mid-stage of God Emperor."

"This content doesn't go beyond the ultimate realm of God King, but it allows people to understand life more thoroughly. Take a look, and show it to your disciple Luo Feng as well."

"Also, I still have several World Beast Blood Talismans and some Five-Colored Precious Medicines left in my treasure vault." She then took out a few more blood-colored talismans and several precious herbs.

"I see you also cultivate the Great Dao of Destruction, so I'll take care of all of this for you, and give some to Luo Feng as well."

Empress Fengdu leaned closer, glanced at the jade slip and precious medicine, and pouted: "Teacher is biased, preparing so much for her grand-disciple. I didn't receive this treatment back then."

Feng hope glanced at her and said, "Back then, it only took you a hundred years to go from a Void True God to a God King."

Feng Du choked, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, he just sullenly pouted, turned his head away and stopped talking.

Seeing this scene unfold before him, Hu Yanbo thought to himself, "Victory!"

"The teacher is winning again!"

"Investing in me, then investing in Luo Feng—this is how you secure every single day of the future!"

While pondering, Hu Yanbo raised his hand and stored the book, blood talisman, and precious medicine into the illusionary labyrinth within his body: "Thank you for your kindness, teacher. This disciple thanks you on behalf of Luo Feng."

Feng hope nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The three chatted casually about trivial matters in the source world for a few more minutes before getting up and leaving.

Huyan Bo remained alone in the palace, and the palace doors were closed.

"Leaving the Source World?"

"Then we'll definitely have to wait a while longer!"

Immediately with a thought, within the illusory labyrinth of the divine body, the mountain of Hunyuan Crystals instantly dwindled to just a few scattered glimmers.

The pre-payment panel reappeared in my mind:

[Advance payment: Late-stage God Emperor's will (already repaid).]

[Current number of advance payments available: 1]

"Since I don't want to leave the Source World for the time being, and no one here can do anything to me."

"Then the number of advances allowed by that system will not be used for higher-level advances."

Compared to the cause-and-effect path, the advance system can advance capabilities beyond the current stage.

However, at this stage, if we borrow even greater strength in advance and do not leave the Origin World, we will be unable to repay it.

"The Three Branches of the Original Path of Time Advancement!"

The Great Dao of Time Origin differs from other Great Daos in that it has only three branches: past, present, and future.

Even if others spend countless epochs, they may not be able to touch its surface, let alone comprehend its three major branches, which is far more difficult than any fundamental Dao.

But as the saying goes, just because others can't do it doesn't mean he can't.

Others are others, and Huyanbo is Huyanbo.

In an instant, the illusory image of the River of Time appeared out of thin air before Hu Yanbo's eyes. Three tributaries on the river were clearly distinct yet intertwined—the three major branches of the past, present, and future.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, the insights into time he had gained earlier through the workings of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect had now all connected, transforming into a complete understanding:

Cause and effect in relation to time: Cause and effect are the anchor points for time. By using past causes to sort out present effects, the scattered chains of cause and effect in the long river of time are straightened out one by one, so that the foundation is not washed away by the torrent of time. This is the depth that he had already reached before.

Cause and effect in relation to time: Cause and effect are the sharp blades that break the one-way flow of time. With the present effect, we can pry back the past cause, so that time is no longer just a one-way flowing torrent, but a thread that can be sorted out and intervened.

Hu Yanbo's mind settled, and the pre-payment panel appeared immediately:

[Advance payment project: Complete understanding of the three major branches of the fundamental principle of time.]

Repayment conditions (completing any one of them is sufficient)

[1. Created a secret technique for the second level of the God-King realm of the Great Dao of Time Origin.]

[2. Obtain the Great Dao Diagram, and then enter seclusion to comprehend it for three cycles.]

[3. Obtain the Heart of Time, and spend three million days in seclusion to gain enlightenment.]

[4. Comprehend the fundamental Dao of Time over thirty eras.]

"As expected, I have a pretty good affinity for the Great Dao of Time's origin," Hu Yanbo said with a smile.

The moment he finished speaking, numerous secret patterns suddenly appeared, forming three interlocking rings representing the past, present, and future, encircling his body.

Each rune carries the pure fluctuations of the origin of time, perfectly merging with his divine body, naturally submitting without deliberate guidance.

Three million Heavenly Huyanbo couldn't wait to repay the three branches of the Great Dao of Time's Origin; he planned to take the fastest route.

While Huyan Bo was in seclusion creating secret techniques, the world was quietly changing across the Origin Continent.

Xuandu, the Imperial Xuan Palace.

Emperor Xuan sat in the main seat, never expecting that Hu Yanbo, the newly invincible being of the Origin Continent, was actually Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng even lived in Xuandu for a period of time.

He had even considered taking the other person as his apprentice.

"If only he were my disciple!" Di Xuan thought to himself, his eyes glazed over.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought about it, it was all a lie. Di Xuan was clear-headed and knew that Hu Yanbo's initial arrival in Xuandu was merely a low-key, cover-up.

"Someone come here!" A guard bowed and entered.

"Your Majesty."

"Give these ten Hunyuan Crystal Fruits to Marquis Xuanhong, a first-class marquis."

"And he was told that from now on he would not need to take any exams and would enjoy the best treatment among his peers."

"I only hope he can break through to the God-King realm soon and become a pillar of our Emperor Xuan lineage!"

"Yes!" The guard acknowledged the order and withdrew.

Xuandu, the residence of Marquis Xuanhong.

"I will not see anyone!" Di Xuanhong stood in the hall, his voice cold and deep.

"No matter who comes to visit, they are all turned away."

"Yes," the butler replied cheerfully, then immediately turned and ran out.

Inside the hall, several young men and women were filled with excitement. A graceful woman beside them could not hide her joy and stepped forward to ask, "Husband, is Senior Xiao Feng really Senior Huyan Bo?"

Di Xuanhong turned to look at his children and wife, and slowly nodded: "Yes, the Yanfeng Guild Hall has been confirmed, there is no mistake."

"Father, have you contacted Uncle?" the eldest son asked urgently.

"Shut up!" Di Xuanhong shouted sternly.

"Your uncle is an invincible being on the Origin Continent. He must be busy with important matters. Do not disturb him lightly." He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his tone becoming increasingly stern.

"Also, remember this: I am just a good friend of Brother Huyanbo. You must not take advantage of this relationship to do anything reckless."

"If this causes a great disaster, there's no need for the royal family to punish me; I'll take care of it myself!" The group of young men and women nodded hurriedly in fright, not daring to say another word.

Just then, the steward rushed in, his expression a mixture of panic and delight: "My lord, Emperor Xuan has dispatched the captain of his personal guards, saying he has an imperial decree to convey. Should we refuse?"

Di Xuanhong thought to himself that this was the influence of Huyan Bo.

Although Hu Yanbo has not yet shown up to help him in any way, Emperor Xuandijun would still ask for his opinion based solely on his friendship with Hu Yanbo.

In the past, it was a blessing for him to have the Emperor's personal guards visit him, and he didn't need to ask any questions at all.

Di Xuanhong quickly waved his hand: "We absolutely cannot refuse! Please invite the general into the hall immediately!"

Easternmost Region, Eastern Capital.

The hall was filled with the aroma of wine. The Blackfire Demon Lord slammed his hand on the table: "Come, come, pour the wine! Guixu, where did the wine go?!"

"I collected rare treasures in the Dream Realm and went to great lengths to brew these three jars of fine wine. And you few drank the whole jar in no time," Emperor Guixu said with heartache.

"Don't be stingy, take it out quickly." The God King of Witch Heart leaned slightly forward, his tone teasing.

"Otherwise, I'll have to join the discussion and say something!"

"What? You're here again!" Emperor Guixu's face stiffened, and his tone became a bit more urgent.

"What do you want to tell me?" A clear female voice came from outside the hall. Empress Fengdu stepped in and her gaze swept over everyone in the hall.

Emperor Guixu hurriedly waved his hand, his tone hesitant: "No, it's nothing!"

The God-King Wuxin had no intention of letting him off the hook, and directly said, "Not long ago, Guixu thought that Luohe had surpassed Senior Huyanbo."

"They even encouraged Luo He to challenge Senior Huyanbo."

"This, this isn't because Senior Huyanbo has been in seclusion and Brother Luohe is exceptionally talented, but because I made a mistake for a moment." Emperor Guixu hurriedly explained, and then glared fiercely at God King Wuxin. It's all this guy's fault, always creating anxiety for me.

Empress Fengdu grinned and waved her hand, "This disciple need not be inferior to my master."

"My junior brother would be overjoyed if he knew Luo He had this idea!"

"I think so too!" Emperor Guixu nodded quickly, letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, Wuxin. If he won't give it to me, I will. I also brought some wine with me." The Great Freedom Venerable raised his hand and flipped a jar of fragrant wine onto the table.

"Who said I wouldn't give it to them!" Emperor Guixu shouted, taking out another wine jar and filling everyone's cups with wine.

The members of the Reincarnation Pavilion had always kept a low profile, but ever since Fengdu announced that Hu Yanbo was Xiao Feng, and learned that Hu Yanbo had defeated the Thunder Ancestor and set new rules for the Origin Continent, they have come to join one after another.

In the eyes of many powerful figures on the Origin Continent, although the Eastern Extreme Domain was created by the Ancestor Feng hope, Hu Yanbo's current strength and prestige make him the other person in charge within the domain.

It is precisely because of this that the once extremely exclusive Eastern Region is now gradually opening its doors and becoming more and more lively.

Luo Feng held his wine glass, looked at the scene before him, shook his head slightly, and thought to himself, "I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just this."

A while ago, the Emperor of Guixu secretly approached him and whispered that many of the things he had said before were jokes, and told him not to take them seriously.

At the time, Luo Feng was completely confused, but now that he saw this scene, he finally understood.

He looked up at the outside of the hall, recalling his Uncle Fengdu's words: "If one day I can challenge my teacher, my teacher will surely be very happy."

However, ever since he began his cultivation, he had been desperately trying to catch up, but he could never catch up with his teacher, Huyanbo.

Luo Feng's fingertips traced the rim of the cup, his heart filled with inward感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection), without the slightest discouragement, only an increasingly firm resolve.

He had already made up his mind that after this banquet, he would go to find his teacher, Huyan Bo, to inquire about the method to improve his Dao of Destruction.

Mohe followed him and has now entered the second level of the God King realm. The "world" within his body is enough for him to observe the complete Great Dao of Destruction. However, his affinity for the Great Dao of Destruction is indeed far less than that for the Great Dao of Life.

To this day, the six branches of the Great Dao of Destruction remain at the peak of the Chaos Realm, unable to break through.

This has already affected his subsequent spiritual practice plans!

The path of birth and death that he was about to follow was based on life and destruction. Now that he had already reached the level of a god-king in the path of life, the path of destruction was holding him back. Only by breaking through as soon as possible could he steadily advance his understanding of the path of birth and death.
