New Disciple

Within the Star Tower, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, and a wisp of chaotic divine power instantly transformed into a tiny black 18-sided polyhedron. The surface of this black polyhedron also bore the markings of chaotic laws.

Luo Feng felt that this black 18-sided polyhedron was like an extension of his limbs, his consciousness able to penetrate it. He couldn't help but smile in delight, "Finally, I've mastered the second type from the six varieties of chaotic-layer creatures I collected."

With a casual wave of his hand, Luo Feng released a large amount of divine power, transforming it into numerous black 18-sided polyhedrons—ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred million, ten trillion and eight billion. The quantity required for fusion and transformation was exactly the same as with the silver droplet creatures before.

When ten trillion and eight billion black 18-sided polyhedrons completely combined, Luo Feng also felt a sense of 'completion.'

"These chaotic-layer creatures are quite similar," Luo Feng thought. "Perhaps those chaotic-layer creatures that are born with Chaos Realm strength might be fundamentally different from these."

Unfortunately, the most powerful chaotic-layer creatures had long been captured.

With another wave of his hand, the ten trillion and eight billion black 18-sided polyhedrons merged into a dark black mountain, stable and immovable.

"Rise," Luo Feng commanded, and ten silver blade lights appeared, crashing into the black mountain. The black mountain, like a bottomless abyss, naturally absorbed the immense impact without moving an inch.

The ten silver blade lights couldn't budge it.

"As expected, the defense is incredibly strong," Luo Feng thought as he conducted test after test.

After a long time, Luo Feng was quite satisfied.

"The silver droplet transformation method serves as a basic benchmark."

"The black 18-sided polyhedron transformation method, however, is not suitable for wielding blades. Its power is only thirty percent of the silver droplet transformation method, and its movement speed is only twenty percent. But its defense is nine times stronger, and it also has the ability to absorb and reflect the enemy's power!"

Defense and counter-attack absorption.

"The first transformation method I comprehended, the silver droplet transformation method, I shall name the 'Galaxy' transformation method," Luo Feng thought, as the combination of ten trillion and eight billion silver droplets indeed formed a silver river.

"The second transformation method shall be called the 'Black Abyss' transformation method," Luo Feng decided.

Each of these black 18-sided polyhedrons contained a space within it, capable of absorbing power for counterattacks, which also made them extremely resilient.

The silver droplet creatures were already very resilient, but the black 18-sided polyhedron was nine times more so.

"They can be large or small; in the Black Abyss form, they can form a protective robe." Luo Feng thought, as the black mountain in the air rapidly covered his body, forming a black robe. "I can use ten percent of my perfect divine body's power to transform entirely into the Black Abyss form. Who could harm me then?"

With a Black Abyss robe on the surface and the Star Tower protecting his chaotic space internally, he would be surrounded by an endless, vast galaxy!

"I'll research these six transformation methods first. Later, I can explore the chaotic layer more and collect other chaotic-layer creatures," Luo Feng was quite interested in these chaotic-layer creatures, as they were born with each basic power unit containing 'life spirit.'

Creating such beings from scratch would be extremely difficult.

But simply transforming into them was something Luo Feng could achieve.

He believed that the more chaotic-layer creatures he studied, the more refined his transformation method would become. After gathering dozens or even hundreds of transformation methods, with accumulated experience, he might be able to create a divine body most suited to himself.

Within the City Lord's mansion, in Luo Feng's courtyard:

"Master, have you finished your seclusion?" Morosa's mental senses immediately noticed Luo Feng emerging from his training.

"One needs to take a break sometimes," Luo Feng said with a smile. Completing a transformation method wasn't easy, as each 'chaotic-layer creature' had a different internal structure and a slightly different life spirit.

"Prepare some food for me," Luo Feng ordered, picking up a jug of wine. While he carried wine with him, the food needed to be freshly prepared.

"I'll arrange it right away."

Morosa replied, then couldn't help but say, "Master, there's something I need to tell you first."

"Speak," Luo Feng said, enjoying his wine, feeling quite accomplished after completing a transformation method and in a very good mood.

"Mo Yu Qing Yan has already mastered the ten basic laws and has become a Void True God through the path of the laws," Morosa said.

"He finally figured it out?" Luo Feng laughed, "With a top expert like you personally guiding him, it took this long to break through. It seems Mo Yu Qing Yan's comprehension isn't that high."

Morosa shook his head, "It's not just 'not that high,' his comprehension is poor. Compared to you, master... he's far, far behind." After all, Morosa had been with Luo Feng for a long time, accustomed to Luo Feng's rapid growth.

Luo Feng's growth even made Morosa, a World Beast, feel pressured.

In comparison, Mo Yu Qing Yan naturally seemed incredibly mediocre.

"He's doing quite well," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Master, are you planning to take him as your disciple?" Morosa asked, "According to what was said before, mastering the ten basic laws was just the first test."

Luo Feng looked at Morosa with interest, "Don't hide it from me, I know you want to help Mo Yu Qing Yan."

Morosa chuckled.

"In fact, the long-term following and living with us is another test—a test of his character," Luo Feng said. "After living together for over thirty epochs, it's enough time to see his true nature. Mo Yu Qing Yan knows his boundaries, does things meticulously, and hasn't used my name to gain benefits outside."

With Luo Feng's reputation in Huyang City, Mo Yu Qing Yan, as one of his only two attendants, could have reaped great benefits if he were greedy.

"When I first saw him and his two brothers, I could tell this kid was the most steady," Luo Feng thought. Back then, he had stated clearly that he wouldn't give any guidance, and without any guidance, many True Gods on Origin Continent wouldn't have been able to comprehend the ten basic laws in their lifetime!

Even under such circumstances, Mo Yu Qing Yan still chose to follow.

Even knowing the risks, Mo Yu Qing Yan never wavered.

His eldest and youngest brothers both gave up.

At that time, Luo Feng thought that Mo Yu Qing Yan had a good temperament, being the most steadfast among them.

"So, what are you planning to do, master?" Morosa asked.

"After spending over thirty epochs together, he has passed the test," Luo Feng said, looking at Morosa. "But I feel like he is closer to you in his heart. Why not let him take you as his master?"

"Take me as his master?" Morosa was taken aback.

"Your current status is that of a super-strong Eternal True God. When I become strong enough in the future, you can naturally reveal your breakthrough to the Chaos Realm," Luo Feng said. "Being his master, you'd be more than qualified."

Morosa was indeed a bit tempted. After all, after spending so much time together, with decades of careful teaching, he naturally had feelings for him.

"Forget it," Morosa shook his head, mentally transmitting to Luo Feng, "In the early stages, I need to be cautious, not showing any strength. Even in the future, if I reach my peak, having a World Beast as a master... isn't a great status. But you're different, master. You will be a guest of the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, with a higher and more prestigious status, and greater strength in the future. Moreover, your identity is legitimate. Being your disciple will bring him much more benefit."

Luo Feng was a regular cultivator, so even if the top-tier inheritance of Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom had high entry barriers and required rigorous screening, there was nothing to worry about.

But Morosa was different.

Some thorough inspections, even probing deep into the body, could reveal that Morosa's body contained a 'realm.'

So, he had to remain low-key.

"You truly are considering his best interests," Luo Feng said, looking at Morosa.

"I just find it troublesome to take on a disciple! Teaching him for over thirty epochs has been more than enough," Morosa couldn't help but say.

Luo Feng watched, feeling quite moved.

Morosa, the World Beast representing 'calamity,' after being enslaved by the soul and having his violence completely suppressed, began to develop emotions and connections with other beings, just like any other creature, leading to grudges and attachments.

"All living beings have a sliver of hope for survival. Even World Beasts, born with the Destruction Origin, are ultimately controlled by the Destruction Origin, knowing only slaughter and destruction, leading to their self-destruction," Luo Feng thought. "On the contrary, those enslaved by the soul may seem to lose their freedom, but in reality, their violence is suppressed, giving them that sliver of hope."

The fate of World Beasts seemed to be predetermined at birth.

Yet, being enslaved could allow them to escape their fate.

"Alright, since you don't want to take him, I'll take him as my disciple," Luo Feng said.

"Thank you, master," Morosa was overjoyed.

Soon, Luo Feng publicly accepted his disciple, marking the first time he took a disciple on the Origin Continent.

Mo Yu Hu's family, General Yue Wu, General Yong Hu, and many other Eternal True Gods with high status in Jiang Chaos Prefecture attended the ceremony. Gao Wu Shui, Mo Li Fei Yun, and Diao Rong Qi also stood in the corner watching.

"Lord Luo He has truly taken Qing Yan as his disciple," Mo Yu Hu was thrilled. Back then, he had used his most precious treasure and his relationship with Luo Feng to secure his son's chance to become a disciple.

He didn't expect that after thirty epochs of testing, Lord Luo He would actually accept his son as a disciple.

Lord Luo He has the potential to reach the Chaos Realm; his son Qing Yan is truly on the fast track to success.

"I can't believe he's already become a disciple," Mo Yu Jia's eldest son, Mo Yu Lie Feng, felt both happy for his brother and conflicted. After all, such a great opportunity had once been in front of him, but he chose to give it up. Now, his brother had succeeded in becoming a disciple.

"A little guy like him has the fortune to become Lord Luo He's disciple," Meng Hua Lou Zhu watched from the side, feeling envious.

Lord Luo He was not one to take followers lightly; to date, he only had one servant, Morosa God-King, and his newly accepted disciple, Mo Yu Qing Yan.

"Disciple Mo Yu Qing Yan, greets Master."

Mo Yu Qing Yan formally and respectfully bowed.

Everyone present witnessed this scene.

On the Origin Continent, taking a master was a very solemn affair.

The relationship between master and disciple even surpassed that of close kin.

Once taken as a disciple, it was for life! Betraying a master would bring shame and distrust, for the master bestowed the disciple with knowledge, guidance, abundant resources, weapons, treasures, and directions on the path of cultivation. The debt of gratitude was too great. Such betrayal would make the traitor untrustworthy and unusable.

"Rise," Luo Feng said with a smile, looking at Mo Yu Qing Yan.

Mo Yu Qing Yan stood up, feeling extremely excited, as if he were in a dream.

"Congratulations, Lord Luo He," General Yue Wu and General Yong Hu offered their congratulations.

"This young man is still quite inexperienced; he still needs to train diligently," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Mo Yu Qing Yan stood to the side, unable to resist glancing at Morosa.

In his heart, Mo Yu Qing Yan had even considered taking Morosa as his master, feeling deeply grateful for the countless instances of careful guidance over the long years. However, he kept this thought to himself.

Lord Luo He accepting a disciple was just a small episode in the ongoing war between the two great Chaos Prefectures.

Time passed quietly, and an epoch had already gone by. Jiu Jiang Hou was still trying to visit one powerful being after another, all of whom were unafraid of 'Liu Yin Hou.'

However, he still hadn't been able to secure any strong allies.
