Recruited (Vol. 1 End)
In the vast Origin Continent, there are countless forces, and those that can establish a divine kingdom are truly remarkable. Among the many nations, some are strong, while others are weak. For instance, Yu Kingdom and Shi Kingdom are considered second-rate nations, much stronger than the Jin Kingdom established by Sitting Mountain Guest, which is a truly marginal small nation.
Nations like the legendary Tianmu Kingdom, which possesses Sector Beasts, are far superior to Shi Kingdom, Yu Kingdom, and other such nations, making it a first-rate nation.
However, the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom surpass all other nations.
"According to the information described in the inheritance, the most powerful within the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom is the royal family! The royal family is fiercely competitive, divided into thirteen branches, each with the qualification to vie for the throne. The Di Chu lineage is one of these thirteen branches!" Luo Feng finally understood the grand origin of this Yan Feng Guild Master.
"I didn't expect to meet His Highness Di Chu Yu in this remote city," Luo Feng said politely.
"I don't have the right to be called 'His Highness.' I'm just an Eternal True God. You can call me Chu Yu," Di Chu Yu said with a smile. Other royal family members often have a grand display when they are outside, but he looked down on those in his clan.
In Di Chu Yu's view, if one's strength isn't sufficient, they are nothing but trash in the royal family.
Why does the royal family have thirteen branches competing? It's because there are too many who are useless.
When Di Chu Yu was out wandering, he usually wouldn't reveal his identity, for the name "Di Chu Yu" could easily be linked to the "Di Chu lineage" by anyone with some knowledge. Usually, he simply went by "Chu Yu."
"Luo Feng, you were able to kill the Blood Cloud, which shows that your divine body, realm, and will have all reached an extremely peak level. There are very few within Yu Kingdom who can compare with you," Di Chu Yu said with a smile. "If you can comprehend the Chaos Law and become a Chaos Sovereign in the future, I can help introduce you. I can't guarantee much, but it won't be difficult for you to become a guest official of the Di Chu lineage."
"An introduction to the Di Chu lineage of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "Chu Yu, do you really think that highly of me?"
The more he learned, the more he understood how difficult it was to become a guest official of the royal families of the two ancient kingdoms.
His master, Sitting Mountain Guest, even if he wanted to enter the core of the two ancient kingdoms, would be ignored. For them... ordinary True Gods are of no significance to the ancient kingdoms.
"Even if you become a Chaos Sovereign through the path of the Law, my Di Chu lineage generally would not recruit you. But I'm willing to make an exception," Di Chu Yu said, looking at Luo Feng. "I don't care about your strength; I care about your character."
"You've been in Huyang City for over twenty epochs, and I've observed you clearly. You show compassion to the weak and hatred for evil. For the sake of your friend Shang Tianyan, you furiously pursued and killed Yu Tianxu, Yu Tianyi, and the Blood Cloud," Di Chu Yu said with a smile. "You are loyal and righteous at heart, and I naturally wish to be your friend. In today's Origin Continent, some strong individuals are highly talented but selfish and ruthless. Who knows when they might betray you?"
Luo Feng understood.
It turned out that everything he had done made this royal member of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom admire him.
"Of course, the premise of the introduction is that I must become a Chaos Sovereign myself. Only then will I have the qualification to recommend you as a guest official. And you also need to be a Chaos Realm expert on the path of the Law, which is the minimum requirement for recruiting guest officials," Di Chu Yu explained.
The Vice Guild Master smiled and added, "Luo Feng, remember not to fully pledge yourself to Yu Kingdom, to avoid being unable to break away later. After all, opportunities in such a remote small country are too scarce."
"The leader of Yu Kingdom is merely a guest official of our Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom," Di Chu Yu said. "In remote small countries, you cannot access the true secrets of the Origin Continent, and don't even think about obtaining some of the top resources."
Luo Feng was shocked.
The leader of Shi Kingdom is skilled in culinary arts and gained favor with the high-levels of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom? This information was not recorded in the intelligence he had collected.
"Today, I'm just saying a few words in advance; everything will have to wait until both you and I have become Chaos Realm experts on the path of the Law," Di Chu Yu said.
"Thank you, Chu Yu," Luo Feng expressed his gratitude.
Soon, Luo Feng bid farewell and left.
"You're already recruiting Luo Feng so early?" the Vice Guild Master said with a smile.
"If I wait until I become a Chaos Realm expert and receive cultivation resources from the clan, it will be too late," Di Chu Yu explained. "While I'm still relatively free, I should find a few suitable helpers."
"You seem quite confident," the Vice Guild Master said.
"I've completely mastered the nine moves recorded in the secret manual for the Chaos Realm. These nine moves complement each other, and I feel that I'm very close to comprehending the complete Chaos Law," Di Chu Yu said.
The Vice Guild Master was overjoyed, "A Chaos Sovereign with the Law path and an infinite divine body? Hahaha, if you succeed, the clan will pour immense resources into you. I'm glad I chose to help you, and it seems I made the right choice!"
There are many on the Origin Continent who have an infinite divine body and become Chaos Sovereigns through the Law path, but the two ancient kingdoms do not care about them.
But if there is such a genius within the royal family, it's different—they will naturally be fully nurtured!
"My second uncle has helped me so much, and I keep it all in my heart," Di Chu Yu said.
In Chaos Mansion No. 913, Mo Yuqingyan waited alone.
"Yu Tianxu, Yu Tianyi, and even the Blood Cloud were all killed? Father said it's likely the master did it?" Mo Yuqingyan couldn't help but think that, since the master had been away all night, it was quite possible.
"The bounty for the Blood Cloud is as much as 10 million Cosmic Sands, and even the city lord's mansion couldn't deal with him. Can the master really kill him?"
Mo Yuqingyan sat alone in the mansion, lost in thought. Following the master all these years, he only felt that the master was unfathomable.
The main gate of the mansion suddenly opened, and a flying boat entered. Luo Feng and Morosa stepped out of the boat.
"Master," Mo Yuqingyan immediately greeted them.
"Many guests will visit me in the coming days," Luo Feng said. "Except for a few important ones, turn away the rest."
"Yes, Master," Mo Yuqingyan had followed the master long enough to know who the important guests were.
Moreover, from the master's words, Mo Yuqingyan realized that it was likely the master who had killed the Blood Cloud.
"Stop guessing. Yu Tianxu, Yu Tianyi, and the Blood Cloud were all killed by the master," Morosa said directly. "It won't take long before this news spreads throughout the city."
Luo Feng nodded.
He had killed several powerful figures from Shi Kingdom without mercy, and those Shi Kingdom experts likely sent out messages before their deaths.
Moreover, the city lord's mansion also knew it was his doing.
With so many people aware, the news was bound to spread quickly.
"Master, you're amazing," Mo Yuqingyan felt a great sense of pride.
"Kid, focus on your cultivation. You haven't even mastered the ten fundamental laws yet," Morosa urged. "You're my personal disciple, and you're embarrassing me."
"I'll do my best," Mo Yuqingyan immediately responded.
"Luo Feng and I will go into seclusion for now," Luo Feng said, then took Morosa to the underground hall.
In the underground hall, Luo Feng released the Star Tower, and both he and Morosa entered it.
"All your food is here," Luo Feng placed all the Eternal True God corpses in one of the spaces within the Star Tower. "Take your time and digest it."
"Thank you, Master. I have a feeling that my strength will increase significantly this time, and I might even reach the Chaos Realm," Morosa said excitedly.
This time, among the many meals, the first was the corpse of Yu Tianxu. Yu Tianxu had extraordinary bloodlines, and his divine body had been cultivated to a level comparable to an infinite divine body. The benefits of devouring this divine body far exceeded those of an ordinary divine body.
Moreover, the Blood Cloud's corpse was even more attractive to Morosa than Yu Tianxu's.
This was indeed an unprecedented feast!
Morosa immediately entered his designated space within the Star Tower and began enjoying his meal.
"Morosa's strength is improving rapidly; he might reach the Chaos Realm before I do," Luo Feng thought. But there was nothing to be done; any normal cultivator comprehending the Chaos Law had to accumulate gradually.
Even the royal family member of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, Di Chu Yu, had to travel across the Origin Continent, enduring a long and arduous cultivation journey.
Comparing cultivation speed with Morosa was indeed asking for trouble.
"My willpower should be sufficient," Luo Feng thought.
When he was still a True God, his spiritual will had already reached the peak of the Chaos Sovereign level!
Later, he quickly advanced from a True God to an Eternal True God, significantly enhancing both his divine body and soul.
Although a weak soul could still have strong willpower, the soul is ultimately the carrier of willpower! The weaker the soul, the harder it is to enhance willpower.
"My soul is now far stronger than when I was a True God, and I've been practicing the great destructive heart-refining technique and the seven-emotion heart-refining technique from the 'Lie Yuan Technique' for over twenty epochs. I feel that I've been making slow progress, but there's still no qualitative change."
The leap in willpower from the Chaos Realm to the Divine King level is indeed challenging.
"This time, with sufficient resources, I'll purchase some treasures to aid in the cultivation of willpower," Luo Feng resolved. "With the bounty and all the spoils of war, I now have nearly 30 million Cosmic Sands. Adding the gift from Shang Tianyan, I have over 30 million Cosmic Sands. I must convert these resources into strength!"
With such wealth, he naturally needed to accelerate his cultivation.
In Shi Kingdom, in the Yin Chaos State, in a hidden hall.
A figure in dark red armor sat there, his eyes like two burning blood-colored flames, exuding an aura of darkness and calamity.
"Yu Tianxu, Yu Tianyi, and even the Blood Cloud are dead?" Yin Chaos Marquis murmured, "This Luo Feng, a friend of Shang Tianyan, went on a killing spree after Shang Tianyan's death?"
"Such a character, who has a deep hatred for evil, will be difficult to use," Yin Chaos Marquis realized.
He reached out and touched a crystal ball in front of him.
This crystal ball contained a complete universe personally created by a Divine King. The internal space of the universe spanned trillions of light-years in diameter, and countless beings lived, thrived, and cultivated within it.
He loved this crystal ball; it had cultivated many subordinates for him, producing hundreds of Eternal True Gods.
But what he loved most... was the feeling of controlling the entire evolution of the universe and the survival of countless races, which was also a form of spiritual will training.
"Huyang City has a Luo Feng, so my original plan is no longer suitable," Yin Chaos Marquis thought. "Fine, I'll relinquish some resources in Huyang City and let Xin Ying Gate handle it."
This is the end of volume 1. I might take a little break before I start volume 2 but I'm also really excited to read it so we'll see. These last six chapters and from this point on I will have to pay to get so any donations are welcome if you can, no need to force yourself.
