Swallowed Star
chapter-947

There were hundreds of millions of heirs on the Bauhinia Island. Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor went to the location the knight had given them and started to build a palace.

“Concentrate!” Luo Feng said.

He used force of world in his internal world to build a mansion. It was an enormous courtyard that resembled the Jiang Nan garden of ancient China. There were paths made of cobblestones, and all sorts of flowers were planted on the side.

At the corner of the courtyards sat a pool of water. The water was the essence of a Jiang Nan Garden. There was a stone bridge above the water, and pavilions were placed around it. Besides, there were lots of individual bedrooms and living rooms, and in front of some of the rooms were pools where rock gardens could be seen.

Although the entire garden was only one square kilometer, it was constructed in a mesmerizing way, which was exactly how Luo Feng remembered his hometown. Lots of the gardens had been destroyed during the grand nirvana, but some of the rich built the gardens during the base city era. Luo Feng had learned about it before, when he was a student, and he had an extraordinary memory. All he did was memorize the pictures on the history textbooks. Luo Feng used lots of force of world techniques to solidify the garden.

Luo Feng pointed to the mountain afar.

“Get out!”

Hong!

Another private garden appeared. Afar were the undulating hills which merged as one with the rivers, gardens around them.

“Student, you’re…” True Yan Emperor was still building a huge palace while glimpsing at the residence Luo Feng built. “Extraordinary.”

“Teacher, you can’t actually feel the secret of my hometown by using your godly power. Come inside.” Luo Feng smiled and led True Yan Emperor inside.

True Yan Emperor had adventured the universe long enough to see quite a lot. There were countless other forms of designs of architecture on the Bauhinia Island, and they were just as delicate as the one Luo Feng built. However, True Yan Emperor had never seen something like this.

True Yan Emperor said with surprise, as walking on the stone bridge, “It’s incredible. I feel like it’s dozens of times larger than it actually is. There are different scenes of the same pool at different angles.”

Luo Feng smiled. “A single step can shift the scene, and this is the mystery of it. And all the scenes are breathtaking in a unique way based on the visual guide.”

“Can you make me one?” True Yan Emperor asked him.

“How can I not? You’ve already asked me.” Luo Feng made another garden of a slightly different type. The garden he had made for himself was more akin to those during the Ming and Qing dynasties, while the one for his teacher was of the Tang dynasty, which was more majestic.

Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor went back to the square in front of the palace of the Bauhinia Island owner.

“Let’s go.”

Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor entered the spring on the left.

The moment they touched the spring, they disappeared. The scene changed completely, and before Luo Feng could get a clear sight of his surroundings, he felt a terrifying force.

Hong!

The force was stronger than anything in Ice Hell, and he felt like dozens of neutron stars on his body, together with lots of other souls.

“What is this?” Luo Feng asked.

He could finally see everything clearly, and it was hollow surrounded by black mist around him. There was a huge aerolite floating in the hollow, and a purple-armored powerful one with a wolf head was sitting on it. It belonged to one of the most populous branches of the human race—Werewolf.

The werewolf was surprised to see Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor. He laughed and said, “You must be Blade River Emperor and True Yan Emperor. I knew you two are coming.”

“Greetings, Jiu Feng Knight,” True Yan Emperor saluted him.

“Greetings, Jiu Feng Knight.” Luo Feng bowed to him as well, but he was baffled.

Just then, True Yan Emperor started to talk to him in his mind. Student, Jiu Feng Knight is one of the seven-star overlords of the human race, and he’s an equal of the master of the heaven erosion palace. Rumor has it that he received the complete inheritance of deified generals.

Luo Feng was startled. Complete inheritance? An equal of the master of the heaven erosion palace?

“This is the land of inheritance of the ancestral god school,” said Jiu Feng Knight looked at the two of them with a smile. “Naturally, there’s a powerful force, which is to suppress the soul seals in the godly bodies. Creatures less powerful than emperor-level undying will die under the force, which is why only the undying can be granted the tokens. After all, talents who can get the tokens are all at least as powerful as the emperors. Can you see the black mist surrounding us?” Jiu Feng Knight pointed around.

Both Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor nodded. It was such a strange district. Neither godly power nor world power could detect anything, and it was surrounded by black mist.

“Get into the black mist and accept the inheritance,” the knight said. “You two, separate.”

“Yes,” Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor answered respectfully.

They flew away in different directions.

The second Luo Feng flew into the black mist, he felt a force pressing his body, and even though Luo Feng had a stronger will than most of the universe knights, he couldn’t resist it. He stood in the hollow a long time and reached out with the fingers of his right hand.

Chi!

World power burst out and turned into a law engraving. The engravings kept bursting out, starting from space and gold.

Luo Feng started to perform without control over his own body. Starting from the basis, he manifested all his understanding of the laws. More and more engravings came out as time passed by, and the threads were all twining around each other, painting a beautiful world of the law.

Luo Feng only stopped much later. The mystical force left Luo Feng.

“Huh?” Luo Feng finally had his mind back. “What?”

Luo Feng was so terrified that his entire body was sweating. He remembered distinctly how he was manipulated by the force to manifest the laws of merging.

“It’s—it’s incredible,” he stammered. “My will is so strong, and there is a tower pearl in my soul to protect it. Even masters of the universe would find it hard to control my mind. However, that mysterious force, it…”

Luo Feng finally realized how mighty the ancestral god school was.

“That’s right. It’s the land of inheritance. Even those universe knights who are as powerful as the master of the heaven erosion palace or Xi Luo Feng will come here if they don’t acquire the complete inheritance. That force will just manipulate everyone else, like what it just did to me. The mysterious force is nonaggressive, but it didn’t even give me a chance to resist. What did that come from?”

As Luo Feng was still pondering its whereabouts, the force arrived again.

“The third level,” Luo Feng heard a pressing voice say.

It did not say anything else, but it made Luo Feng realize what “the third level” meant. The voice was echoing inside Luo Feng’s mind, and Luo Feng fell into a hallucination He was trapped in a bizarre dreamland.

Inside the dreamland, Luo Feng was shown the most mystical and intricate secrets of the path of beast gods, and all the merging space laws and gold were instructed in the most detailed way possible. It was like someone pouring all the knowledge inside Luo Feng’s brain. It was far more effective than reading 52 chaos tablets or looking at the sculpture of beast gods.

After a long time, the force wore off. The black mist kicked Luo Feng out of the dreamland.

“It’s beyond my wildest imaginations.” Luo Feng blinked and was inspired. “I wish I can have more of this. I’ve trained myself in Ice Hell for more than 2,000 years, and I could barely comprehend a tiny bit of the third chapter of Nan Shen Seven Forms. However, I can now comprehend a lot more after spending only a short time there. I feel like I can actually complete the third chapter if I can be indoctrinated one more time. I must have been taught the whole third chapter, but I can only understand half of it.”

Luo Feng was anxious. He hadn’t felt this way for a long time. It was like dreaming, but he could only remember a small portion of it. After becoming a powerful one, he had never experienced blurry memories. But now, he felt the same way, and all he could remember were fractions of secrets of the third chapter.

“Don’t just stand there,” the knight on the aerolite said.

Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor both looked happily surprised.

“The land of inheritance was born with the universe, and it was fraught with wonders,” the knight said. “It was the most important place of the ancestral god school. Every time, it will test how much you have understood the laws. There are seven levels of beast god inheritance, and if you’ve completely comprehended the first two levels, you’ll be bequeathed the third-level inheritance, so on and so forth.” Jiu Feng Knight looked to Luo Feng and True Yan Emperor. “How about you two? Which level have you reached?”

“The third level,” Luo Feng said. “I’ve learned a lot.”

“The fourth level,” True Yan Emperor said with thrill. “I feel… I feel that I’m having my breakthrough.”
