Goodwill of A God King

Luo Feng was sitting in front of a pavilion on the mountain top, sipping on the highly toxic 'Black Marsh Fruit Wine,' while simultaneously practicing the "Great Destruction Heart Refining Technique." This way, he could effectively temper his will.

"The more I drink this Black Marsh Fruit Wine, the more flavorful it becomes," Luo Feng thought, enjoying the sensation that affected his entire godly body and even his soul. After three rounds of body refining, his godly body had become increasingly formidable.

Whoosh! Mo Yu Qingyan swiftly ascended the mountain and respectfully reported, "Master, a message has come from the City Lord's Mansion. They say that an envoy from Nine Jiang Marquis wishes to visit you, Master."

"An envoy from Nine Jiang Marquis?" Luo Feng was surprised.

"Master, should I arrange the meeting?" Mo Yu Qingyan asked.

"Of course, I will see them. Your master is not so arrogant as to refuse an audience with the Marquis," Luo Feng chuckled. "Tell the City Lord's Mansion that I am ready to welcome the envoy anytime."

Indeed, many visitors had come tonight, but Luo Feng had refused them all. The Eternal True Gods from various factions in Huyang City were of little interest to Luo Feng, but many of these factions were branches of great powers from the Origin Continent.

These factions might be backed by Chaos Masters or even God Kings. Therefore, Luo Feng did not want to get too involved with these branches; once entangled, it would be hard to extricate himself! The best approach was to keep a distance from the beginning.

The Eternal True Gods of these branches held low positions and could not offer good conditions, yet they brought many complications!

Di Chu Yu had a high enough status to offer good terms that even Luo Feng found tempting. Of course, this was only if both Di Chu Yu and Luo Feng reached the Chaos Realm through the Law Path, making Di Chu Yu's invitation a possibility.

"Personal talent is important, but external resources are equally crucial," Luo Feng understood this well. Even for him, without the resources provided by his master, Zuoshan Ke, he would not have come this far.

On the Origin Continent, the most precious resources were controlled by the two Ancient Kingdoms. By leveraging the resources of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom's royal family, Luo Feng could grow stronger! Only then would he be more confident in helping his master defeat his great enemies!

Mo Li Meng brought the white-haired youth, Jiang Yu You, to visit Luo Feng. Among the five great families, Mo Li Meng was the most familiar with Luo Feng.

"Please," Luo Feng, Jiang Yu You, and Mo Li Meng each took a seat in the pavilion atop the mountain.

"Commander Jiang is one of the Four Great Guard Commanders under the Marquis, holding a status in Nine Jiang City above that of many generals," Mo Li Meng introduced.

Luo Feng nodded, "I've heard of Commander Jiang's name even here in Huyang City."

Although Luo Feng did not want to live under the watchful eyes of the Chaos Masters, he was well-informed about the basic information of Nine Jiang City. The city's army was led by the Four Great Guard Commanders and sixteen generals, representing the core military force. The army of Nine Jiang City was far stronger than that of Huyang City or Xu Yin City.

"Compared to Brother Luo, I am far inferior," Jiang Yu You laughed. His strength was comparable to that of Mo Li Xiao, but far from matching that of General Yong or Xue Yun.

"There are very few in the entire Yu Kingdom who can compare with Brother Luo," Mo Li Meng also praised.

"Commander Jiang, what brings you here tonight?" Luo Feng asked.

Jiang Yu You replied, "Brother Luo, after hearing that you had slain Yu Tian Hu, Yu Tian Yi, and Xue Yun, the Marquis was overjoyed. He immediately ordered me to rush to Huyang City overnight to deliver this list to you, from which Brother Luo can choose any item."

As he spoke, Jiang Yu You took out a scroll, which floated over to Luo Feng.

The scroll unfurled, and Luo Feng glanced at it.

"The first volume of the 'Void Nine Refinements Secret Manual,' a God King-level inheritance."

"The 'Seven Demise Killing Method,' a complete Chaos Realm inheritance."

Each inheritance was introduced one by one, with a total of nine inheritances.

Apart from the first volume of the 'Void Nine Refinements Secret Manual,' which was a God King-level inheritance, the others were all Chaos Realm inheritances.

Luo Feng silently marveled at the generosity of Nine Jiang Marquis. After all, the Duandong River lineage only had three God King-level inheritances in total. Nine Jiang Marquis himself might have mastered several God King-level inheritances, but the ones he could pass on... there was probably only this one.

"The first volume of the 'Void Nine Refinements Secret Manual,' just by its name, I can guess it's related to the Void Origin Path, which doesn't suit me well," Luo Feng thought.

As someone with dual-lineage inheritance, Luo Feng was very clear on this. A Chaos Master comprehends the Chaos Laws. However, to become a God King, one must understand the 'Origin Path' contained in the Supreme Law. Beasts like Morosa are born with the Destruction Origin Path. Luo Feng, on the other hand, had no deep study of the Void Path and had no intention of pursuing it.

"You can choose any of the nine inheritances, Brother Luo. Each one is extremely valuable, especially the first volume of the 'Void Nine Refinements Secret Manual.' As a God King-level inheritance, it is truly rare," Jiang Yu You said. "The Marquis values you greatly and is willing to support you fully. If none of these inheritances suit you, you may also choose ten million Universe Sands."

Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'll take the ten million Universe Sands."

Jiang Yu You was slightly surprised. Even a God King-level inheritance wasn't chosen? Just as the Marquis had predicted, such a powerful Eternal True God already possessed a strong inheritance.

"Very well, the Marquis will have the ten million Universe Sands sent to you through the Yan Feng Guild," Jiang Yu You said.

"Please convey my thanks to the Marquis," Luo Feng replied.

"The Marquis also personally contacted the Lord of the Nation and spoke about you. The Lord was also delighted to know that our Yu Kingdom has someone as talented as Brother Luo. The Lord said that soon there would be an opportunity, and when the time comes, an envoy will be sent to deliver it to Brother Luo," Jiang Yu You added.

Luo Feng immediately stood up, "Please convey my thanks to the Marquis and the Lord as well!"

If it weren't for the Nine Jiang Marquis pushing this, news of conflicts among Eternal True Gods might take some time to reach the Lord of the Nation! The Marquis personally reported it, and to save face for his subordinate Chaos Masters, the Yu Kingdom's Lord would have to show some acknowledgment.

So, this matter truly deserved gratitude towards the Marquis and the Lord. A God King's goodwill is not something Luo Feng could take lightly.

"Brother Luo has contributed so much to Huyang City; receiving these rewards is only right. The Marquis has always rewarded those who have made contributions generously. However, the Liuyin Marquis of Shi Kingdom will likely not give up so easily. If Huyang City encounters trouble again, we may need Brother Luo's assistance," Jiang Yu You said.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "What can I alone do? Ultimately, it still depends on the City Lord's Mansion."

"Rest assured about the conflicts between Shi Kingdom and Yu Kingdom. Battles among Eternal True Gods won't see Chaos Masters bullying the weak," Jiang Yu You assured. "Otherwise, if both sides started bullying the weak, the world would have long since collapsed."

"I understand," Luo Feng nodded.

This was an unspoken rule not only in Yu Kingdom and Shi Kingdom but across the entire Origin Continent.

An Eternal True God, unless they actively provoked, would not be targeted by a Chaos Master, as doing so would damage the master's reputation. However, if someone like Ying Cang killed the child of a Chaos Master, the master's anger and personal intervention would be understandable.

Or, if Chaos Masters fought each other, one might do anything to survive. Slaughtering innocents to force the other to stop or devouring an entire large city to restore divine power—when it comes to survival, reputation means nothing.

With the ten million Universe Sands from Nine Jiang Marquis, Luo Feng felt his resources were more ample. Five days later, the 'Tribulation Beast Diagram' he purchased arrived.

"Deputy Pavilion Master," Luo Feng greeted politely.

The Deputy Pavilion Master, with a body of gray mist, walked in and handed Luo Feng a scroll that glimmered with starlight, "Luo Feng, this is the Tribulation Beast Diagram. Since you dared to buy it, you should know the taboos involved in comprehending it."

"Yes," Luo Feng nodded. As a well-known treasure for willpower cultivation, both of Luo Feng's inherited lineages had detailed descriptions of it.

Moreover, having reached the pinnacle of Chaos Realm willpower, the risk of comprehending it was already very low.

"The Tribulation Beast Diagram was personally drawn by an Emperor of Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. The royal family members are well aware of how to comprehend it," the Deputy Pavilion Master said with a smile. "The method of comprehension is generally only circulated among the great families of Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom and is not easily spread to smaller places."

"This is a 'Void Diagram' to accompany the Tribulation Beast Diagram. When used together with a comprehension method, the effect on willpower cultivation is optimal." The Deputy Pavilion Master flipped his hand and produced a Void Diagram scroll.

Even when rolled up, the Void Diagram seemed to contain endless space and time within it.

"This Void Diagram..." Luo Feng was surprised.

"The Void Diagram can only be purchased by royal family members. The Pavilion Master helped you buy it; it was very cheap, only a million Universe Sands," the Deputy Pavilion Master said with a smile. "The Void Diagram is necessary to make the comprehension method effective."

Luo Feng's communication token also received a message containing the comprehension method.

"The Void Diagram and the comprehension method are gifts from the Pavilion Master," the Deputy Pavilion Master said.

"Please thank the Pavilion Master on my behalf," Luo Feng was very grateful. The Tribulation Beast Diagram was not restricted from being sold to outsiders, but the matching Void Diagram could only be purchased by royal family members, significantly limiting its distribution.

In this world, strength is what matters most.

Having displayed sufficient strength, both the Yu Kingdom and the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom's royal family members had extended olive branches to Luo Feng.

After the Deputy Pavilion Master left, Luo Feng immediately went into seclusion, entering the Star Tower to comprehend the 'Tribulation Beast Diagram.'

Swish!

The Tribulation Beast Diagram and the Void Diagram floated in the air simultaneously, with the Void Diagram perfectly overlaying the Tribulation Beast Diagram.

"According to my previous research, the proper way to comprehend the Tribulation Beast Diagram is to start with a small section at the edge, gradually expanding the range until the entire scroll is viewed." Luo Feng thought, "But the method used by the royal family of Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom is to overlay the Void Diagram."

"The Void Diagram overlays the Tribulation Beast Diagram, reflecting the Tribulation Beast Diagram onto three thousand layers of space, each layer showing a different image."

"After comprehending the 'Three Thousand Void Tribulation Beast Diagram,' then comprehending the complete Tribulation Beast Diagram will be much more effective."

Luo Feng observed the first layer of the Void Diagram reflecting the image.

The first layer depicted a ferocious and terrifying beast undergoing countless tribulations. Each tribulation caused the beast to continuously transform. After enduring the countless tribulations, the beast became dazzling and radiant, with a brilliant light that emanated from its heart, illuminating Luo Feng's soul.

Even the first layer required Chaos Realm willpower to withstand.

As Luo Feng watched, he felt as if he had transformed into the beast, enduring the tribulations.

However, the drawn Tribulation Beast Diagram was far from the real tribulations, and after being reflected through three thousand layers of the Void Diagram, the impact was weakened by billions of times. The effect on Luo Feng's soul was already minimal, allowing him to grasp a sense of the experience.

After experiencing the first layer, the outside world had already brightened.

"This is the core intent of the Tribulation Beast Diagram? To give me an understanding in advance?" Luo Feng immediately began comprehending the second layer of the Void Diagram, which reflected an image filled with endless despair and death.

The Three Thousand Void Tribulation Beast Diagram allowed one to understand the Tribulation Beast Diagram from different perspectives.

The first layer: the core intent.

The second layer: the layer of endless despair and death.

The third layer: the layer of calm nightmares.

Fortunately, Luo Feng's soul and willpower were strong enough to immerse himself in comprehending each layer. He felt as if he were transforming into the tribulation beast, experiencing every trial.
