Favour of The God King

Hu Yang City, Chaos Armor No. 913 Cave Mansion.

Luo Feng specially invited the Eternal True God 'Black Butcher' to personally cook a lavish feast to entertain 'Yu Shui Tianyu,' the daughter of the King of Yu Kingdom. Given her noble status and her representation of the God King, Luo Feng naturally had to treat her with due formality.

"The cuisine in Hu Yang City has a unique flavor," Yu Shui Tianyu, clad in armor, commented. Her already lush hair was tied into hundreds of braids. She grabbed a large piece of meat, a specialty of the Black Butcher, and ate heartily, saying, "City Lord of Hu Yang, I think the food here at Lord Luo He's is better than what you have at the City Lord's Mansion."

"Hahaha..." The City Lord of Hu Yang, who was accompanying them, laughed and said, "In the entire Hu Yang City, there's only one Eternal True God who has mastered the culinary arts, and that's the Black Butcher from the Fire Realm Restaurant. Your Highness, you came to the City Lord's Mansion too suddenly; we didn't have time to invite the Black Butcher."

Luo Feng nodded, "The Black Butcher's culinary skills are indeed impressive."

"It suits my taste, eating it is truly satisfying," Yu Shui Tianyu looked at Luo Feng, "Lord Luo He, could you invite the Black Butcher to come here?"

"Of course," Luo Feng nodded and immediately sent a message for the Black Butcher, who had just finished preparing the food and was resting in the cave mansion, to come over.

In this pavilion, only Luo Feng, Yu Shui Tianyu, and the City Lord of Hu Yang were present. When the Black Butcher entered, he was somewhat nervous, knowing the identity of today's guest.

After all, she was the daughter of the King of Yu Kingdom!

The King of Yu Kingdom, who had single-handedly established a powerful kingdom on the Origin Continent, recognized as a second-tier power, was indeed extraordinary. In terms of individual strength, he was also considered extremely formidable on the Origin Continent. His daughter's status was comparable to the high-ranking members of the major clans in the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. Even some Chaos Masters would not dare to be negligent towards Her Highness Yu Shui Tianyu.

"Greetings, everyone," the Black Butcher said respectfully.

"So, you are the Black Butcher?" Yu Shui Tianyu's eyes lit up. "Your culinary skills are impressive, and I quite like them. Would you be willing to go to the capital and serve as the chef at my residence?"

The Black Butcher was taken aback.

He had come to prepare a feast for Lord Luo He and was now being invited by the daughter of the King of Yu Kingdom to the capital?

"Lord Luo He, would you mind if I took your chef?" Yu Shui Tianyu looked at Luo Feng.

"He runs the Fire Realm Restaurant; he's not my chef," Luo Feng smiled. "If he can go to the capital, it will be a great opportunity for him with a much brighter future. How could I mind?"

In recent times, Luo Feng had been immersed in cultivation and had not visited the Fire Realm Restaurant or Dream Flower Tower for a long time.

"My residence currently has only one head chef; you would be the second chef I've invited. Don't worry, you'll have your own cave mansion, and the resources you'll receive for your cultivation will far exceed what you have in Hu Yang City," Yu Shui Tianyu said nonchalantly. As the daughter of the King, the resources her father casually bestowed upon her far exceeded the imagination of many Eternal True Gods.

"Your Highness's invitation is my honor; I would be delighted to accept," the Black Butcher said after some consideration. He had traversed the cycle of reincarnation to reach the Origin Continent and had struggled to survive until now.

Now that such a great opportunity was in front of him, he naturally had to seize it!

Moreover, with the increasingly intense conflict between the Shi Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom, the Black Butcher was also worried about being caught in the crossfire. Given the chance to move to the capital, he was more than willing.

"Congratulations, Black Butcher," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"It's thanks to you, Lord, that I have this opportunity," the Black Butcher said gratefully. He was well aware of the vast difference between himself and Lord Luo He! He was fortunate to seize the opportunity to become the chef of Her Highness, while Lord Luo He was being personally visited by the Princess.

Yu Shui Tianyu laughed heartily, "Indeed, you should thank Lord Luo He for letting me discover you. Black Butcher, go make your arrangements; I'll be leaving Hu Yang City and returning to the capital tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Highness," the Black Butcher replied respectfully and then took his leave.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on discovering such a talented chef in Hu Yang City," the City Lord of Hu Yang said.

"It's not too hard to find an Eternal True God who excels in the culinary arts. But finding one that suits my taste is rare," Yu Shui Tianyu continued to eat the meat heartily, feeling extremely satisfied.

As for those who are more powerful, it's impossible for someone who has reached the level of a Chaos Master through culinary arts to be a chef for a princess. After all, even a Chaos Master must be given a certain level of respect by a God King.

"Let's talk business," Yu Shui Tianyu looked at Luo Feng. "My father was delighted to hear about you, Lord Luo He. After all, an Eternal True God with such potential has appeared within our Yu Kingdom's borders. Moreover, you have aided our Yu Kingdom by killing some of Shi Kingdom's lackeys. My father has sent me to deliver a gift to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Please also extend my gratitude to the God King," Luo Feng said gratefully.

Yu Shui Tianyu turned her hand and took out a deep purple wooden box, which floated to Luo Feng.

"Please open it and take a look," Yu Shui Tianyu said.

Luo Feng opened the box and saw a pale cyan leaf inside, its veins intricately woven. The leaf's surface shimmered with a subdued luster, even causing the surrounding space to ripple and distort.

"Quickly close the box," Yu Shui Tianyu said. "This is a leaf from the 'Xu Yan Mother Tree,' freshly matured. The wooden box has been specially refined to preserve the leaf for a longer time. If left exposed, the leaf would wither and lose its efficacy within an era, but in this box, its preservation time can be extended tenfold."

"A leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree?" Luo Feng's heart stirred. He had learned about this rare treasure from his master's information and the intelligence of the Duan Dong River lineage.

Of course, this kind of rare treasure was not something that could be bought, as it had long been divided among the top entities on the Origin Continent.

"Whenever the Xu Yan Mother Tree's leaves mature, some are sent to my father," Yu Shui Tianyu said with a smile. "He bestows them upon Chaos Masters and his subordinates. The leaf I've brought today has just matured and will have the longest usable lifespan."

"Lord, have you heard how to use it?" Yu Shui Tianyu asked.

"I've heard it's related to the Chaos Layer, but I don't know much about it," Luo Feng replied.

Yu Shui Tianyu explained, "Space is multilayered, and even though some strong beings can tear or cut through space, they typically only slice through the surface layers."

"Space has many layers, and to completely break through all of them is to break free of the cage," Yu Shui Tianyu continued. "Among the many layers is the Chaos Layer."

"The Chaos Layer contains infinite chaotic energy, and the so-called 'Chaos Void' is the connection point between the Chaos Layer and our normal living space," Yu Shui Tianyu said.

Luo Feng listened intently.

"You just need to carry the leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree with you, and you can travel in reverse through the Chaos Void to reach the Chaos Layer," Yu Shui Tianyu explained. "Normally, cultivators would be repelled, but with this leaf, you can roam freely within the Chaos Layer."

"Training there will greatly aid your comprehension of the Chaos Law," Yu Shui Tianyu smiled. "Given your deep accumulation in various aspects, you might even comprehend the Chaos Law during your time in the Chaos Layer."

"Thank you for the guidance, Your Highness," Luo Feng said.

"This leaf is just a token of my father's appreciation for you, as well as a reward for your efforts in killing the lackeys of Shi Kingdom," Yu Shui Tianyu said. "My father also wishes to take you as a disciple. If you are willing, you can go to the capital to undergo the trials. If you pass the three tests, you can become his disciple."

"Congratulations, Brother Luo He, this is a tremendous opportunity," the City Lord of Hu Yang immediately said.

For those of us on the fringes of the royal lineage, our status is naturally not on par with the personal disciples of the King of Yu.

"My father's disciples all have to pass the three trials," Yu Shui Tianyu said. "If you succeed, the resources you receive will far exceed this one leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree. And if you become a Chaos Master in the future, my father might even help you refine your body."

Luo Feng listened carefully.

Just like when I underwent three body refinements, body refinement is similar to crafting weapons or secret treasures. If you particularly trust someone, you can have them refine your divine body. For instance, if the King of Yu were to do it, the divine body would naturally become especially strong.

"I'll think about it," Luo Feng said. "Thank you, Your Highness, and please convey my gratitude to the God King."

Yu Shui Tianyu frowned slightly but then smiled, "It seems that Lord Luo He has other teachings."

On the Origin Continent, the relationship between master and disciple is no less significant than that of father and son.

After all, a master teaches, provides resources, offers guidance, and leads the way. This requires more dedication than a father.

Similarly, the disciple must repay the master! If a disciple betrays the master, it would provoke public outrage and be despised by all factions.

"Brother Luo He, you shouldn't miss this opportunity," the City Lord of Hu Yang reminded.

"No need to force it; my father just appreciates talent," Yu Shui Tianyu said. For the King of Yu, gaining or losing a few disciples doesn't make much of a difference.

"I still must thank Your Highness," Luo Feng raised his glass.

Yu Shui Tianyu smiled and drank with him. Even if they didn't become fellow disciples, they could still be friends. With such a promising cultivator, who might soon become a Chaos Master, Yu Shui Tianyu was willing to be friends.

After the banquet ended, Yu Shui Tianyu and the City Lord of Hu Yang left, with Luo Feng personally seeing them off at the cave mansion entrance.

"Becoming a disciple would mean being completely bound," Luo Feng knew this well. The Vice Director of the Flame Wind Pavilion had repeatedly warned him against aligning with the Yu Kingdom to avoid being unable to leave in the future.

The King of Yu's offer, the Flame Wind Ancient Kingdom's invitation, anyone with a bit of insight would know which to choose.

As long as one becomes a Chaos Master, most Kings would be willing to recruit them. However, ordinary Chaos Masters wouldn't have the chance to become guest ministers of the Emperor Chu lineage of the Flame Wind Ancient Kingdom.

"If I go to the capital of the Yu Kingdom, I'm dispensable to the King of Yu."

"But if I go to the Flame Wind Ancient Kingdom in the future, I would be an important aide to Emperor Chu," Luo Feng looked at the wooden box in his hand.

"Still, I must thank the King of Yu," Luo Feng was pleased; the leaf from the Xu Yan Mother Tree would be greatly beneficial to him.

That night, Luo Feng left behind a divine power avatar, instructed Moroza and Mo Yu Qingyan, and then set off alone for the 'Chaos Void' at the City Lord's Mansion.

"Brother Luo He, this is the Chaos Void," the City Lord of Hu Yang personally guided him.

Luo Feng looked ahead.

In the void, there was a twisted space hole, like a torrent of water pouring out, with endless chaotic energy flowing out. Upon entering the normal world, this energy would naturally begin to condense into chaos crystals, and some even seeped into the surrounding soil and rocks, forming chaos stones.

"The endless chaotic energy from the Chaos Layer, once it enters our normal world, condenses into a solid form," the City Lord of Hu Yang said. "This is how chaos crystals and chaos stones are formed."

Luo Feng nodded, "It's indeed fascinating."

Around the Chaos Void, some Void True Gods were cutting the chaos crystals into standard-sized blocks, stacking them in piles. At that moment, they all noticed the arrival of Lord Luo He, personally accompanied by the City Lord.

"It's Lord Luo He."

"Lord Luo He has come." These Void True Gods knew that the most powerful figure in Hu Yang City now was Lord Luo He.

"Thank you, City Lord," Luo Feng smiled. "I'll head into the Chaos Layer now."

"Once you're inside, remember the path, and you can return the same way," the City Lord of Hu Yang smiled. "I've also given orders that from now on, you may enter the Chaos Void at any time."

"Thank you," Luo Feng nodded, then directly flew towards the void hole, ascending against the torrent of chaotic energy, and entered the void hole.
