Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin - Chapter 400 - 10 Creating the Primordial Level Dao!

Inside the quiet room of the Cave mansion

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, first taking a Dan Pill, then eating a fruit, and finally picking up the jug beside him and gulping down a few drinks. His soul was faintly glowing, and he felt better than ever!

“For the first attempt at creating a Primordial Level Dao, my state must be good.” Luo Feng was rarely this extravagant, as a single Dan Pill and fruit were worth eighty thousand Reward Points, not including the cost of the wine!

“Let’s begin creating!”

Luo Feng already had a prototype of the Primordial Life and Death Dao in his mind, and now he needed to construct what he envisioned piece by piece.

The ‘Eye of Life and Death’ on Luo Feng’s forehead opened, and under his will, numerous Secret Patterns were sketched in the void before him. These Secret Patterns naturally fused life and destruction, everything seeming as though naturally formed.

One day, two days, a hundred days, a thousand days, ten thousand days…

Luo Feng meticulously constructed the Secret Pattern Map.

“At my current speed of construction, I estimate it will take around ten eras to succeed.” Luo Feng concluded.

The Primordial Level Dao is vast, on the same level as the Ancestor Level Secret Pattern Map! The number of Secret Patterns is astronomical, sketched piece by piece, ceaselessly! Successfully sketching them would take approximately ten eras.

“It sounded great, but when actually constructing it piece by piece, many issues arose.” Luo Feng occasionally paused to ponder issues and resolve them.

It’s like building a highly intricate machine spanning billions of kilometers; problems at the start aren’t noticeable until the construction is halfway through, when unresolvable issues surface.

Creating a ‘Dao’ is much the same.

Many hidden issues cannot be solved in the later stages, leaving them to be patched up and loosely integrated.

When the enormous Secret Pattern Map was finally constructed, eighteen eras had elapsed.

“It’s finally done.”

Luo Feng looked excitedly at the vast and floating Secret Pattern Map before him. Although very fatigued, he had ultimately constructed a complete Secret Pattern Map. This map was grand and profound, entirely on par with the Ancestor Level Secret Pattern Map.

“The first version of the Primordial Life and Death Dao, constructed over eighteen eras, is finally formed.” Luo Feng gazed at the Secret Pattern Map before him, “Regrettably, there are too many flaws; I can see numerous issues at a glance.”

“Nevertheless, at least the large framework was constructed. This is a framework on the same level as the Ancestor Secret Pattern Map. I’ve also learned many lessons from it.” Luo Feng was still quite satisfied.

He believed the second creation would certainly be much stronger.

“Let’s test what forming an avatar based on this Secret Pattern Map would be like.” Luo Feng thought. Simply observing the Secret Pattern Map, some flaws remain undetected. But forming an avatar from it reveals numerous issues within the avatar.

The energy in the Cave mansion’s quiet room was endless for the cultivators within the Braided Cage.

With a mere thought, Luo Feng rapidly began to condense a body from tremendous energy that surged to an ‘energy reserve 150 billion times’ beyond Luo Feng’s original body.

So colossal, most of the body couldn’t be well-controlled and had to transform into a Blood Sea, managed through a formation. While some parts maintained a humanoid form with a layer of cyan scales on the body, standing there exuding an indestructible aura.

Feeling this avatar, Luo Feng was of mixed feelings.

“The first version of the ‘Primordial Life and Death Dao’ has too many flaws, making it impossible to perfectly control the body. Most of the energy reserve could only transform into a Blood Sea. However, the condensed human form was rather robust, and the cyan scales partially resembled those of the ‘Star Tower Blood Scale’.”

Luo Feng felt the avatar.

Within the Braided Cage, half-Primordial Life and Death Dao can strengthen no matter how much, still within the Braided Cage. The many mysteries added to it could provide more abilities but may also be flaws.

Many Half-Primordial Enlightened tried adding mysteries, only to be superfluous. Power not only didn’t increase, but also decreased.

Although Luo Feng only created the first version, this avatar was still far stronger than the original physical body.

The overall control of this body slightly decreased! But the perfectly controlled part also exceeded an energy reserve of 50 billion times, greatly enhancing the overall energy reserve! The human form’s combat power massively increased!

Much stronger than the ‘Half-Primordial Life and Death Dao’.

“There are too many flaws; even the mind consciousness system has issues.”

Luo Feng discerned more problems with the first version of the ‘Primordial Life and Death Dao’ Secret Pattern Map based on the avatar’s form.

“Completely tear down and start anew!”

“Begin the second attempt to create the Primordial Life and Death Dao!”

Having the experience from the first creation, Luo Feng was more meticulous the second time. He had to be extremely careful at the start of constructing the Secret Patterns because all subsequent patterns were built on these foundations.

This time required slightly less time, consuming fifteen eras to create the second version of the Primordial Life and Death Dao.

“Far stronger than last time!”

Luo Feng looked at this vast Secret Pattern Map before him. The fusion of life and destruction within the patterns had a glistening flow, even allowing Luo Feng to vaguely sense a kind of supreme power.

“Boom——”

This power subtly tempted Luo Feng’s mind, drawing him in.

“I feel the highest level of power, but I’m still somewhat short.” Luo Feng muttered, “My Secret Pattern Map is very close to the ‘highest level power’.”

Luo Feng was delighted; this time’s Secret Pattern Map was still vast, so much that Luo Feng couldn’t spot any obvious flaws! The vast Secret Pattern Map seemed unified.

The Ancestor Level Secret Pattern Map seemed like the origin.

Luo Feng’s current Secret Pattern Map also seemed like the origin.

“I can’t find any flaws from the surface.” Luo Feng thought, “Even though I vaguely feel the allure of a very high-level power, clearly, this second version of the Primordial Life and Death Dao hasn’t achieved a qualitative transformation, hasn’t become a ‘Primordial Level Dao’.”

Luo Feng was very aware of this.

Because the cultivator camp’s intelligence had already been made public, according to the experiences of the previous seven Lords, once comprehending a Primordial Level Dao, the life level could directly leap to the Lord level.

But now, he still hadn’t leapt out of the Braided Cage. It proved the second version was still a failure.

Even though very close to success, it was still a failure.

“Looking at the Secret Pattern Map, flaws remain unseen, so let’s construct an avatar first to see.”

Luo Feng attempted to construct an avatar once again.

Absorbing the energy of the cave mansion’s quiet room, a humanoid clone rapidly begins to form. During the formation process, blood-red scales appear on the surface of this clone, resembling the ‘Star Tower Blood Scale’ to about eighty or ninety percent. As the construction progresses, the aura of this clone becomes terrifying.

“Boom~~~”

This clone naturally begins to form an invisible rule domain.

The terrifying rule domain can suppress the previous physical body of Luo Feng.

“This clone can have 19.1 billion times the energy reserve, more than before, yet perfectly controls every portion of strength.”

“The mind consciousness system also completely controls every part of the clone, and the strength of spiritual will has greatly increased. With this clone, the spiritual will should have already reached the world-level primordial level,” Luo Feng was astonished.

This second version is excellent.

Energy reserve is terrifying, spiritual will is robust.

“My current mind thought operating speed is several times faster than when my original body consumed numerous treasures.” Luo Feng looked at the blood-colored scale armor on his body surface, which can be described as indestructible.

A thought.

The scale armor naturally extends, merging into a knife.

Luo Feng holds the knife.

“My body can transform into weapons.” Luo Feng gently swings the knife in his hand, and the knife easily tears through space.

“I haven’t escaped the Braided Cage yet, but this clone should be able to match high-level primordial life.” Luo Feng made the judgment.

The second version of the Primordial Life and Death Dao is very close to success! Though I haven’t escaped the Braided Cage, the physical body’s size and power are enough to rival true high-level primordial life.

“Where are the billions of origins I planned to form within my body?” Luo Feng noticed this point, finding no origin forming within his body.

“I discovered the problem!”

“In pursuit of no defects, I weakened the power of life and destruction.”

“I need to enhance these two aspects.”

…

Luo Feng retained the second version of the clone this time because this clone only needs to consume some treasures, greatly enhancing the speed of thought operation, comprehension, and other aspects.

The third version is evidently more intricate, incorporating more mysteries of life and destruction.

“More perfect.”

When the secret pattern map was successfully constructed, Luo Feng felt a resonance with a certain supreme-level power, and this power seemed already within reach.

The secret pattern map is vast and intricate, on par with the ancestor-level secret pattern map.

“Closer to the supreme power,” Luo Feng thought, “but there’s still something missing, what’s missing?”

“Attempting to construct a clone.”

The energy of the cave mansion’s quiet room was mobilized to start constructing the third version of the clone.

In just a moment.

An enormous and towering Luo Feng figure appeared inside the quiet room of the cave mansion.

“Over 30 billion times the energy reserve was required to construct this clone.” Luo Feng felt the formidable nature of this clone, with three origins within the body, “And each of the three hidden origins can accumulate 100 billion times energy.”

“My mind thought operating speed is ten times stronger than the second version clone?”

“My spiritual will should count as normal world-level primordial level.”

“My physical body is indestructible.”

Luo Feng felt like he was a terrifying weapon, with even muscles and bones exhibiting some ‘blood-colored scale’ characteristics.

“Still a slight difference, just a little more to perfection. If my entire physical structure resembles the ‘blood-colored scale’, my physical body would be considered immortal! The physical body would be the most terrifying weapon!”

Luo Feng sensed that a little further, and that would be the complete ‘Primordial Life and Death Dao’.

By that time, I would be the eighth lord, and every part of the body would rival the ‘Star Tower Blood Scale’, indestructible! The whole body would be like the most terrifying weapon, annihilating everything.

“Still need to enhance the destruction feature, then the body would seem like a weapon, the presence would be more terrifying… No!”

Luo Feng suddenly had a revelation.

“Wrong!”

“I’ve taken the wrong path!”

Luo Feng realized the problem.

As an Enlightened One, he had no bloodline will pollution, nor memory pollution. Therefore, he could clearly recognize his issues.

“In the second version, I pursued ‘no defect’, making the life and death fusion more perfect. Starting then, I was going off track!”

“Continuously pursuing no defect, striving for life and destruction balance.”

“Life and destruction balance, so my body currently only has three origins, instead of the billions of origins planned. At the same time, my destruction direction feature is intensifying, even the physical muscles and bones are transforming towards blood-colored scales.”

“But in reality, it seems like I’m within reach of becoming a lord. Yet following the wrong path, I will never reach it,” Luo Feng realized, “because my foundation ‘Half Primordial Life and Death Dao’ fundamentally prioritizes life.”

The foundation is ‘life as the priority’, it’s impossible to yield the fruit of ‘life and destruction balance’.

The so-called within reach, it’s just an illusion!

“My Dao is not the path of life and destruction balance.”

“It is the extreme path, first pursuing the extreme of life.”
