"The Ugly Sovereign: Ascending Beyond Mortal Scorn"

Opening Scene: The Forbidden Forest

The chapter begins with Luo Feng venturing into the Forbidden Forest, a dangerous area near the Luo Clan's territory. The forest is filled with spiritual beasts and rare herbs, making it both a place of opportunity and peril.

Granny Wen warns him before he leaves:

"The forest is a place of great danger, child. But it is also a place of great opportunity. Be careful, and trust your instincts."

Luo Feng carries the black jade amulet with him, feeling its faint warmth as he enters the forest.

As Luo Feng explores the forest, he comes across a spiritual herb glowing with a soft, golden light. The herb is called Golden Spirit Grass, a rare ingredient that can enhance cultivation.

Just as he reaches for the herb, a low growl echoes through the trees. A spiritual beast, a Frost Wolf, emerges from the shadows. The wolf's eyes glow with a cold, blue light, and its breath creates frost in the air.

Luo Feng freezes, his heart pounding. He knows that the Frost Wolf is far stronger than him, but he also knows that he cannot back down.

The Frost Wolf attacks, its sharp claws slashing through the air. Luo Feng dodges, using the Body Refinement Technique to enhance his speed and agility.

He channels spiritual energy into his fists, using the Asura's Wrath Technique to strike back. However, his attacks barely scratch the wolf's thick fur.

The Frost Wolf retaliates with a powerful swipe, sending Luo Feng crashing into a tree. He feels a sharp pain in his side but forces himself to stand.

As the Frost Wolf prepares to deliver the final blow, the black jade amulet around Luo Feng's neck begins to glow brightly. The glow intensifies, and Luo Feng feels a surge of energy flowing through his body.

The energy is overwhelming, but it also feels familiar, like the warmth he felt during his first cultivation breakthrough.

The Frost Wolf hesitates, sensing the power emanating from the amulet. Luo Feng seizes the opportunity, channeling the energy into a powerful strike.

Luo Feng's strike hits the Frost Wolf with incredible force, sending it flying into a tree. The wolf lets out a pained howl before retreating into the forest.

Luo Feng collapses to his knees, exhausted but victorious. He looks at the amulet, which has stopped glowing, and whispers, "Thank you."

With the Frost Wolf gone, Luo Feng collects the Golden Spirit Grass. He also finds a spiritual crystal near the herb, a rare treasure that can be used to enhance cultivation.

As he examines the crystal, he feels a strange connection to it, as if it is calling out to him. He decides to keep it, sensing that it will be useful in the future.

Back at the hut, Granny Wen tends to Luo Feng's injuries. She examines the Golden Spirit Grass and the spiritual crystal, her eyes filled with amazement.

"You have faced a great trial today, child. But you have also gained great rewards. The forest is a place of danger, but it is also a place of growth. Use these treasures wisely, and they will help you on your path."

Granny Wen then prepares a spiritual elixir

using the Golden Spirit Grass, which Luo Feng drinks to heal his wounds and enhance his cultivation.

That night, Luo Feng dreams of the golden serpent again. This time, the serpent speaks to him:

"You have passed the first trial, child. But there are many more to come. The forest is only the beginning. Master the techniques, and you will unlock the true power of the amulet."

The dream ends with Luo Feng standing on a vast, starry plain, the serpent coiled around him like a protector.
