Trash Chapter (Aneurysm Warning)
Sorry guys, I think I passed out before publishing this last night lol and I only woke up now so here it is, these are my unfiltered very early morning thoughts on this chapter.
To start off, I was so confused during this whole thing until I finally figured it out. I'm like 80% certain that I translated this right 😭. Hope it makes sense people, I had to spend so long on this chapter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the blink of an eye, a significant amount of time had passed.
Time flowed by, and during the task allocation among the seven first-class marquises of the Yan Feng Kingdom, Marquis Chu Yu seemed to have kept a low profile.
"Finally, it's my turn to have priority again." Marquis Chu Yu, using the first-class marquis order, discovered a newly issued king-level mission.
Even for first-class marquises, encountering a king-level mission is rare, and the seven first-class marquises have to take turns to carry out the mission.
"The guardian of the Shadowfire World?" Marquis Chu Yu looked at the mission, his eyes burning with intensity. "The value of this mission might even surpass that of 'North Sea Beast Forest.'"
"My priority..."
Marquis Chu Yu smirked coldly and, without hesitation, claimed the mission for himself.
"Interesting."
After keeping a low profile for a long time following the last lesson, Marquis Chu Yu decided to take action again at this critical moment. The moment he claimed the mission, the other six first-class marquises were all immediately informed.
"It seems we underestimated this Marquis Chu Yu, he's got some guts."
"How dare he directly snatch it? He's courting death!"
"No rush, Marquis Chu Yuan will definitely be the first to act."
The other first-class marquises had their own thoughts.
Indeed, when Marquis Chu Yuan found out that Marquis Chu Yu dared to use his priority to take the king-level mission, a nameless rage burned through him, even setting his soul aflame.
"A newly promoted Chaos Realm, weak in power, should endure! How dare he compete with me?" Marquis Chu Yuan was extremely angry.
In his eyes, only those at the peak of the Chaos Realm have the right to compete fairly! A newly promoted Chaos Realm, even with limited divine body, using the resources of a first-class marquis to cultivate, would still have a significant gap in strength, making it unqualified to compete with us!
"
"What? Does a first-class marquis not even qualify to snatch a king-level mission?" Yuan responded indifferently.
Transmitting sound across such a long distance, who would dare fear this madman?
"It seems he needs to be taught a lesson." Guest Cao Shicui's voice came through, laced with killing intent.
"I heard that Guest Luo Feng is quite powerful, the weakest of the first-class marquises? Even able to spar with many peak Chaos Realm beings and remain undefeated?" Yuan said casually, "Now you're just sitting in the mansion, not daring to come out and kill him!"
Marquis Chu Ji was startled.
Driving away a first-class marquis?
Even in the guest mansions, a sliver of the power of Chu Capital City can be harnessed! Even transcendent beings of the Chaos Realm fear it.
Yet, for a first-class mansion, harnessing the power of Chu Capital City is even more minimal! Even some ancient God Kings wouldn't dare barge in so recklessly.
"He only dares to hide in his mansion?" Marquis Chu Ji remarked.
"He guessed right. After the protection period, you won't have any more binding tasks on you! So, during the protection period... you'll stay in your mansion. You won't take a step out of your mansion. What can I do to you?"
Marquis Chu Ji calmed down.
"For any task, you will defer." Yuan said coldly, "He and you are both first-class marquises, and you want to suppress him? Dream on!"
"Piece of sh*t!" Marquis Chu Ji's face twisted in anger.
Yuan instantly severed communication, no longer interested in dealing with that madman, showing no fear within his own mansion.
Before severing communication, Yuan had a thought and immediately contacted Chu Yu: "Marquis Chu Yu, you haven't had any conflicts with the other first-class marquises recently, right? I suggest that your disciples should avoid going out for a while."
"Oh?" Chu Yu, who was in seclusion, received the message, "Don't worry, I'll give the orders."
Marquis Chu Ji didn't give any instructions to Morosa, Mo Yu Qingyan, or the Marquis's residence.
"ABOJ BOJ BOJ"
Marquis Chu Ji, in a fit of rage, tore apart his pavilion, with thunder and lightning flashing. Even the two male servants in the pavilion were affected, turning to ashes in an instant in their terror and despair.
"Damn it, damn it." Marquis Chu Ji's eyes were completely filled with thunder.
At that moment, a figure appeared low in the sky, someone from within the Marquis's residence.
"Chu Ji!" A voice from within the Marquis's residence rebuked, even striking at the soul, causing Marquis Chu Ji's mind to clear a bit. He looked up and saw Marquis Chu Yuan descending.
"Brother." Marquis Chu Ji gritted his teeth, "That Yuan did it on purpose, deliberately provoking you."
"No, he deliberately provoked you, wanting you to go mad again, so that he could follow the old ancestor's established laws. When the time comes, imprisoning you in the Shadowfire World for ten thousand eras." Marquis Chu Yuan reprimanded.
Marquis Chu Ji was startled, looking at the only brother he trusted.
"He could get to where he is today and become a first-class marquis, but it took a lot of suffering." Someone from within the Marquis's residence said, "His talent is extraordinary, and he might even transcend the Chaos Realm! At this time, don't fall into the other party's trap. If he goes mad and acts recklessly... it will only make Yuan laugh at us."
Marquis Chu Ji nodded.
"In everything you do, pay attention to the rules. As long as you don't break them, you'll be fine." Someone from within the Marquis's residence also felt helpless. This brother was once somewhat rational, but his temperament had become increasingly uncontrollable after cultivating the Hunyuan secret techniques.
"The royal family of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, many have uncontrollable tempers. When they explode, they even fall out with the God Kings. Your brother, indeed, inherited some traits from the royal family of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom." Someone from within the Marquis's residence mused.
Because of these two royal bloodlines, before becoming a Chaos Realm being, the Emperor personally guided Marquis Chu Ji in his cultivation, allowing Marquis Chu Ji to progress rapidly.
"Invite a few guest ministers to discuss a solution together." Someone from within the Marquis's residence said.
"Alright." Marquis Chu Yuan nodded, restraining his temper.
In a moment.
Marquis Chu Yuan, along with eight guest ministers, all gathered. The seven of us, who were all peak Chaos Realm beings, discussed this matter. In truth, it was also to let 'Marquis Chu Ji' vent his anger! If Marquis Chu Ji doesn't vent his anger... he would only grow increasingly crazed!
"Yuan said he will stay within your mansion during the protection period, not stepping out of it for half a step." Marquis Chu Ji's beautiful, white-haired face was filled with rage, "I truly wish I could smash him into a pulp! No matter, he won't go out, and neither will his wife and son!"
"To harm a close relative of a first-class marquis is equivalent to acting against a first-class marquis." Someone from within the Marquis's residence said from the side.
"You won't kill them, just torment them a little." White energy flowed around Marquis Chu Yuan body, "Even if they die, at most, it's a severe punishment."
"To act against the family members is taboo." Someone from within the Marquis's residence shook their head.
"Then this works, and that works, what can you do?" Marquis Chu Ji fumed.
A woman in a green robe nearby laughed and said, "Marquis Chu Ji must calm down. The reason Yuan is showing humility is that he wants to compete for resources... Just target what he values most. The person helping him the most now, isn't it this Luo He? There's no law against teaching guest ministers a lesson, even killing them wouldn't result in any repercussions."
The number of guest ministers in the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom is high, and conflicts among guest ministers are common. The Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom has no laws to govern them.
"Indeed, the most formidable one beside him is Luo He." Marquis Chu Ji nodded, "But Luo He is at the peak of the Chaos Realm. If he has cultivated a few life-saving techniques, it would be difficult to kill him completely."
I also don't have full confidence.
"Although it's difficult to kill him completely, as long as I destroy him once and take his treasures, he will feel the pain." The woman in the green robe said.
"For those weaklings, the treasures accumulated over long years are all carried with them. If they die once, all their treasures are lost. Even if they can come back to life with life-saving techniques, they won't be happy." An elderly woman beside her added.
"With your methods, although it's hard to kill him completely, taking his treasures isn't difficult." An old man with golden rings on his right arm said calmly.
"Alright." Marquis Chu Yuan nodded, "I'll hide myself and attack his guest ministers! Let's see if this Thousand Stars Lord dares to continue helping Yuan!"
Indeed, Guest Cao Shi didn't instruct Morosa, Mo Yu Qingyan, or the Marquis's residence, so even when they went out, they were just divine power avatars wandering around.
In Chu Capital, Original Ancestor.
"You were suppressed by the Primordial Universe for nearly half a cycle of the era, and you carelessly perceived the myriad states of beings and the operation of all things in the Primordial Universe." Someone from within the Marquis's residence sat in a large building with Original Ancestor, drinking wine, observing the beings within the Inner World, "But the myriad states of beings and the operational rules of the Origin Land are even more mysterious."
Before obtaining the profound inheritance of the Heart Shadow Sect, the original ancestor had absorbed the experiences of many juniors, merging them into one, creating an eternal-level technique for the 'Virtual Universe'.
Once the technique was initially formed, his power increased significantly.
"Sometimes, reality is illusion, and illusion is reality." Someone from within the Marquis's residence smiled.
"Once this technique is initially formed, it can create a 'virtual avatar.' This avatar possesses eighty percent of your true body's power." Someone from within the Marquis's residence was quite satisfied, "I've heard that even beings in the Chaos Realm, only a few have avatar techniques."
Suddenly—
A wave of energy descended.
Someone from within the Marquis's residence saw a figure in a green robe standing beside them, and invisible energy completely restrained them.
At that moment, Original Ancestor only felt that the green-robed figure behind them seemed to embody an endless world, with no way to resist, the gap was so vast it was unimaginable.
"He's not an original being?" The green-robed figure looked at him, it was indeed an eternal true god-level body, not a divine power avatar.
"Do you have any instructions, Young Saint?" Someone from within the Marquis's residence stood up and saluted.
"I heard that Marquis Chu Yu put in a lot of effort to bring you to Chu Capital." The green-robed figure said leisurely, "Quickly send a message to Luo He, tell him... if he dares to come, he will lose his life."
Original Ancestor was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, I will send the message immediately." Someone from within the Marquis's residence still maintained a high posture.
Inside Chu Yu's mansion.
Marquis Chu Yu, who was in seclusion, was summoned out.
"Someone from within the Marquis's residence, what's the urgency?" Marquis Chu Yu looked at the person within the Marquis's residence.
"Marquis Chu Yu, your virtual avatar is in the city with Marquis Chu Yuan, and has encountered the guest minister 'Heavenly Saint Tianyu' of Marquis Chu Ji." Someone from within the Marquis's residence said, "But don't worry, he only captured your virtual avatar."
"A virtual avatar? Even Heavenly Saint Tianyu didn't recognize it?" Marquis Chu Yu was surprised.
I haven't even cultivated the avatar technique yet.
The inheritances of the Heart Shadow Sect don't include any avatar techniques. The fact that someone from within the Marquis's residence could create a virtual avatar is astonishing!
"A virtual avatar, although also a real body, is slightly stronger than your true body." Guest Cao Shi said.
Marquis Chu Yu nodded slightly, thinking that if the person within the Marquis's residence was captured, it would be a headache.
Now?
Chu Yu was only filled with anger.
Did they actually dare to target the people around me? Marquis Chu Yu's killing intent intensified.
"Be careful, if they let him go, there's definitely no ambush." Guest Cao Shi reminded.
"Don't worry."
Marquis Chu Yu nodded, then took a step and disappeared into the void.

Okay guys, so this chapter really fucking sucked. It's now 3AM and I've been working on this trashy chapter since 1AM barely understanding any of the shit I'm writing 😭. He was using "Guest Cao Shui" or whatever interchangeably between Chu Yu and Chu Yuan so I got a fucking tumour trying to figure out what was what. He started talking about some Original Ancestor Yu who I originally thought was a new character, then I thought it was Chu Yuan so I reworked it all, then I thought it was Chu Yu and reworked it again until I finally realized it was the Original Ancestor of book one. Would've thought that before but why tf is the weak original ancestor egging on peak chaos masters bruh 💀. A horrible chapter, I hope he doesn't do this shit in the future or I might just give up trying to correct it because honestly, I was about to end it all during this 😭. I hope you guys could at least understand some of it and I'm going to bed, I was planning on going to bed at midnight btw 😂
