Devouring the Starry Sky: You will become stronger through practice

The ancient country of Yanfeng, the Ancestral Palace.

The towering figure of the Flame Wind Ancestor sat cross-legged in the center of the Ancestor Palace, his eyes fell on Luo Shen below, and he said in a calm tone: "Since the end of the Heavenly Level Mission, you have suppressed the Hunyuan Bloodline Biological World in Yongye Town and have not come to see me until now. Are you angry with me because I didn't give you the ranking and reward for the Heavenly Level Mission?"

Luo Shen was stunned, then he bowed to the Flame Wind Ancestor and said, "It's just because I want to break through to the Divine King as soon as possible, I'm busy practicing, and the teacher is busy, so I dare not disturb him easily."

"He's still playing tricks on the teacher."

The Flame Wind Ancestor smiled slightly, looked at Luo Shen and said, "It seems that you are really dissatisfied with me. Do you feel a little wronged? It would be fine if you could not participate in the Heaven-level mission, but you also carried out three missions and performed very well in each mission, but your name is still not on the ranking."

Luo Shen remained silent.

Although he was truly immersed in cultivation, what the Flame Wind Ancestor said might really have been part of the reason.

After all, he has a clone.

“Don’t you know that I told the Flame Wind Guards to spread the news that you are my direct disciple, just to make you come to me?” Looking at Luo Shen, the Flame Wind Ancestor shook his head unhappily and said, “I said at the beginning that I would accept you as my direct disciple after you become a Divine King. Now I accept you as my disciple in advance. Don’t you understand how much I value you?”

"Or did the traveler from the Two Realms Palace come to invite you personally, and you were confused by his words?"

"Or was it that the deputy palace master of the Two Realms Palace came to invite you, and you were bewitched by his opportunity to enter the treasure land, and you didn't know what choice to make for a while?"

Luo Shen was slightly startled.

Obviously, he didn't expect that the Ancestor Yanfeng would know about this, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Are you wondering why your master knows this?"

The Flame Wind Ancestor smiled and said, "This Imperial City was made by my master himself. As long as any strong person is in this Imperial City, my Imperial City will capture the information and summarize it for me. Although the traveler was cautious, I knew about his appearance the moment he appeared."

"Since the teacher knew, why didn't he stop him?"

Luo Shen asked.

For the ancestor of Yanfeng, no, for the ancient country of Yanfeng, the dark forces such as the Liangjie Palace are actually like some leeches sucking blood from buffaloes, each of them is extremely greedy. Now it is only because the ancient country is powerful, with a large number of top powerhouses, and the ancestor of Yanfeng is suppressing them, that they are not too indulgent.

But there are still some hidden dangers.

Since he knew their whereabouts, why did the Flame Wind Ancestor choose to let them come and go freely instead of actively killing them?
Ancestor Yanfeng explained: "In fact, when your strength reaches a certain level, you will know that it is difficult to accomplish things by fighting and killing. Just like that walker, although I have the strength to crush him, even in this cage, Ancestor Lei Ting and I are invincible."

"But so what?"

The Flame Wind Ancestor sighed and shook his head, saying, "Outside this cage, there are powerful beings who are far more powerful than us. I can protect the royal children of the Flame Wind Ancient Country in this caged world, but can I still protect them outside this caged world?"

"Necessary competition gives them the motivation to move forward!"

"Have you not noticed that since you came to the imperial capital, all those first-class guys have become more diligent? The little guy with the Chaos Origin bloodline who was beaten by you before should be about to break through to the Chaos Lord and transcend. And the only little guy among this group of royal children who broke through to the Chaos Lord and transcend is about to break through to the Divine King now."

Ancestor Yanfeng looked at Luo Shen and said seriously, "Letting those people from the Two Realms Palace and other dark forces come in has a similar purpose, to put some pressure on the emperors of the thirteen branches so that they don't indulge in internal friction all day long."

In fact, there is one more point that the Ancestor Yanfeng did not say.

As for the two masters and deputy masters of the Two Realms Palace, he was not absolutely sure that he could completely kill them in one go. After all, the other party possessed power outside the cage. Although it would not hurt him, he was very clear that if he failed to kill them completely, it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity next time.

"Teacher, I still don't quite understand."

After a moment of silence, Luo Shen slowly said, "The thirteen emperors are all descendants of the royal family of the ancient Yanfeng country. I am just an ordinary Chaos Lord and a foreigner. Even if I break through to the Chaos Lord Transcendence, I will not be appreciated by the teacher and accepted as a disciple, let alone as rumored, the teacher wants to make me the fourteenth emperor."

"The Fourteenth Emperor's words were just a joke. I have no intention of opening a fourteenth branch."

The Ancestor of Yanfeng waved his hand and directly interrupted Luo Shen's unrealistic idea. Although he may have had a brief thought of establishing the fourteenth emperor, Luo Shen was not a member of the royal family after all. Secondly, Luo Shen's strength could not reach that level in a short period of time.

It has been mentioned before that the resources required to train an emperor are simply too terrifying.

Even though the ancient country of Yanfeng is a place where the ancestor of Yanfeng has the final say, given the current relationship between the thirteen emperors, with so much internal friction, even if he is willing, the thirteen emperors will not be happy, even Emperor Chu who is from his own branch is the same.

Uneven distribution of resources is always a difficult problem.

"However, although I have no intention of opening a fourteenth branch, I have accepted you as my disciple, and even now as my personal disciple. I have also thought about training you to become the next leader of the Flame Wind Guard who can rival the Emperor!"

The Yanfeng Ancestor suddenly changed the subject.

Luo Shen was a little confused when he heard this: "Flame Wind Guard, Commander!?"

Luo Shen certainly knew what the Flame Wind Guards were. When he first came to the Ancestral Palace, it was the Flame Wind Guards who led him. The strength of these Flame Wind Guards were all at the God King level, and at least above the second level of God King. Some of the strong ones could reach the third level of God King, and it was not impossible for them to even reach the peak of God King.

Even though he is not as powerful as the Emperor, he is also the backbone of the high-end combat power of the Yanfeng Ancient Country.

The Flame Wind Guard had always been directly led by the Flame Wind Ancestor, and was not under the jurisdiction of any emperor. Now the Flame Wind Ancestor actually said that he wanted to train him to be the leader of the Flame Wind Guard. Doesn't that mean that such a terrifying power will be handed over to him in the future! ?
What’s the difference between this and directly training the fourteenth emperor?
No, or rather, even the fourteenth emperor might not be able to possess such tremendous power.

Luo Shen seriously doubted whether this was a pie in the sky painted by the ancestor Yanfeng. Eating the pie without drinking any water was really dry and difficult to swallow.

Seeing Luo Shen's look of disbelief, the Flame Wind Ancestor asked with a smile: "Do you feel that I am framing you? How could I bear to hand over such an important force as the Flame Wind Guard to you?"

Luo Shen nodded. For this kind of thing, you don't even need to think about it. You should be 100% sure that the other party has a problem.

But the ancestor of Yanfeng smiled and said, "You don't have to think so well. I believe that the travelers from the two world palaces should have told you one thing. The resources of the two ancient countries are mainly supplied to the royal family. Non-royal descendants, even if they are taught by the emperor himself, need to exchange them with merit points, or pay a certain price in exchange."

Seeing Luo Shen nod, Ancestor Yanfeng continued: "Actually, he is right, it is true."

In this matter, the ancestor of Yanfeng had no intention of deceiving Luo Shen.

"In fact, this is a rule I set a long time ago." Ancestor Yanfeng said seriously: "I can't just give the cultivation resources I got from outside the cage to outsiders for free, so the Heaven-level mission came into being."

"After strict screening, we can select some good seedlings, such as the little guy you helped, such as Chu Xiong. These are elite children who can be focused on and cultivated. They can get a part of the benefits, and the princes of the gods will get another part. These are all distributed one by one by the emperors."

"In fact, there was no such rule a long time ago."

Having said this, Ancestor Yanfeng suddenly fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling everything that happened in the ancient times.

All rules are not useless. There must be a short-sighted emperor who, after obtaining the resources from the ancestor, distributed them unevenly, or used them to trade with practitioners outside the royal family in exchange for his own practice resources. That is why the ranking and allocation system for heavenly-level tasks was set by the ancestor Yanfeng.

But what does this have to do with him?

Luo Shen was a little confused.

"Although you are my direct disciple, as a non-royal strongman, you have the opportunity to exchange inheritance and resources, but you must exchange them with merit points or other equivalent costs."

The Yanfeng Ancestor said: "Or it could be like the golden scale beetle Hunyuan life entity I gave you earlier. The price of these benefits was actually taken out from my private treasury, not from the treasure house of the Yanfeng Ancient Country."

Having said that, Luo Shen understood.

This is just like when he was in the original universe area. Although he possessed many treasures, he did not send all of his treasures back to the tribe. Instead, he only returned a part of them. Of the remaining treasures, part of them became his own secret treasures, and the other part was used as a private vault to be taken out when needed.

In the original novel, after Luo Feng demonstrated the combat power of the Lord of the Universe on the Primitive Star, he wanted to take back half of the ownership of the Earth, but was opposed by many Lords of the Universe. It was the founder of the Giant Axe who took out a treasure of the highest value of a domain-type treasure from his private treasury and handed it over to the tribe in order to resolve the objections of other Lords of the Universe.

Although Yanfeng Ancestor is Luo Shen's teacher and can give him some support when Luo Shen needs it, he cannot distribute resources evenly to him like he does to other royal children.

In normal cultivation, he must rely on his own efforts to earn merit points to exchange for inheritance and resources.

"If you can withstand this test, become a Divine King, and grow to the level of an Emperor, then you will be qualified to be on par with the thirteen Emperors and become the leader of the Yanfeng Guards of my Yanfeng Ancient Nation!"

When the Yanfeng Ancestor saw that Luo Shen's eyes were gradually brightening, he guessed that Luo Shen already knew what he meant.

"It's not easy."

"Then the traveler should have told you that on the Origin Continent, apart from the two ancient nations, other forces, including the Two Realms Palace, do not have cultivators with the strength of an emperor. This is a road destined to be full of hardships and sufferings."

What the Yanfeng Ancestor did not say was that the resources required to become an emperor or a monarch are extremely huge.

Even the thirteen emperors, before they first became emperors, applied for a huge amount of resources from their families. It was also relying on such a terrifying amount of resources that finally helped them take a huge step forward and completely step into the emperor level!

Even though the two ancestors adhered to the principle of fair exchange with other practitioners, as long as they could pay the price, they were willing to give the resources to become emperors and monarchs, but unfortunately, the God Kings on the Origin Continent simply could not afford this price. This was the real reason why only the two royal families had emperors and monarchs.

In the opinion of the Ancestor Yanfeng, Luo Shen might be able to become the God King in a short period of time, but if he wants to go one step further and grow to the third level of the God King, or even the peak of the God King, it will take an extremely long time.

By the time Luo Shen grew to the peak of the God King, he had spent enough time in the ancient country of Yanfeng.

If Luo Shen is willing to join the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom completely, he can lend Luo Shen a large amount of resources, allowing Luo Shen to truly take the final step towards the level of Emperor. In this way, his Yanfeng Guard will have one more commander, and the power of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom can be raised to another level.

The reason why the Yanfeng Ancestor values ​​Luo Shen so much is because of the friendship between Luo Shen and Di Chuyu.

In fact, not to mention now, even when Luo Shen first came to the imperial capital of the ancient country of Yanfeng, with his strength, in addition to Di Chuyu, there were still many first-class marquises who were in a higher situation and status than Di Chuyu at that time who were willing to accept him.

After all, at that time, Di Chuyu was not only targeted by other first-class marquises because he had just been promoted to first-class marquis, but there was also infighting among this lineage, which resulted in the Di Chu lineage not being able to give him much help. In fact, he was in a very weak position.

But even so, Luo Shen, who met Di Chuyu in Huyang City, after arriving in the imperial capital, still firmly chose to support Di Chuyu even though he knew that Di Chuyu was in a bad situation. After showing the transcendent strength of the Lord of Chaos, he still chose to stand with Di Chuyu.

This kind of true character is also the reason why the ancestor of Yanfeng thinks highly of Luo Shen.

In fact, in terms of talent and strength, Luo Shen was not the best he had ever seen. After all, the Origin Continent had been multiplying for billions of epochs, and countless geniuses had been born, including even brilliant and powerful people like Yuan Na.

But in terms of talent and understanding, among the strong people who can compare with Luo Shen, no one can compare with Luo Shen's true character.

Therefore, the ancestor of Yanfeng was willing to give Luo Shen a chance.

To be in charge of the Flame Wind Guard, one actually does not need too much strength, because the Flame Wind Guard itself is already a very terrifying force. But if this power does not fall into the hands of someone who is trustworthy enough, how can the Flame Wind Ancestor feel at ease?

Of course, this is also because this caged world is about to experience a major change, and the Ancestor of Yanfeng must accumulate more strength to deal with it.

Otherwise, he would not have handed over Yanfengwei so easily.

The Flame Wind Ancestor looked at Luo Shen and said seriously: "Luo Shen, do you dare to accept this challenge!?" (End of this chapter)
