Chapter 68: Gift
Luo Feng was sitting in front of the pavilion on the mountain top, drinking the highly toxic ‘Black Ze Fruit Wine’ while simultaneously practicing the “Great Destruction Tempering Heart Technique.” Only this way could he effectively hone his willpower.
“This Black Ze Fruit Wine gets more flavorful the more you drink it.” Luo Feng enjoyed the taste that affected his entire divine body and even his soul. After three times of body refinement, his divine body had become increasingly terrifying.
Swoosh! Moyu Qingyan swiftly flew up the mountain and respectfully said, “Master, there’s a message from the City Lord’s Mansion. The Jiugang Marquis has sent an envoy to visit you.”
“An envoy from Jiugang Marquis?” Luo Feng was surprised.
“Master, do you want to meet them?” Moyu Qingyan asked.
“Of course, your master is not arrogant enough to ignore the Marquis,” Luo Feng laughed. “Tell the City Lord’s Mansion that I welcome the envoy at any time.”
That night, there were indeed many visitors, all of whom Luo Feng had previously rejected.
Huyang City was a mixed bag, with Eternal True Gods from various forces. Luo Feng indeed looked down on these forces, but many of them were branches of major powers from the Origin Continent stationed in Huyang City.
Behind these forces could be Chaos-level or even Divine Kings.
Therefore, Luo Feng did not want to get too deeply involved with these major power branches.Getting too deeply involved often meant losing control over oneself.
The best method was to maintain a distance from them from the beginning.
The Eternal True Gods of these branches had low status and could not offer good conditions, and there were many issues.
Di Chu Yu’s status was high enough to offer good conditions, which tempted Luo Feng.
Of course, this was only if both Di Chu Yu and Luo Feng became Chaos-level after mastering the law.
Di Chu Yu’s invitation might then become a reality.
Personal talent was important, and external resources were equally crucial.
Luo Feng understood this very well.
Even he might not have reached his current state without the resources provided by his master, Zuo Shan Ke.
And on the Origin Continent, the most precious resources were controlled by the two ancient kingdoms.
With the resources of the royal family of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, he could grow even higher.
This would give him more confidence in helping his master solve his formidable enemies.
Magili Meng brought the white-haired youth ‘Jiang Yuyou’ to visit Luo Feng. Among the Five Great Families, Magili Meng was the most familiar with Luo Feng.
“Please!” In the pavilion on the mountain top, Luo Feng, Jiang Yuyou, and Magili Meng sat separately.
“Commander Jiang is one of the four chief guards of the Marquis, ranking above many generals,” Magili Meng introduced.
Luo Feng nodded, “I’ve heard of Commander Jiang’s name in Huyang City.”
He did not want to live under the Chaos Overlord’s watchful eyes, but he knew the basic information about Jiugang City.
Jiugang City commanded an army led by four chief guards and sixteen generals, which was its core military strength.
Jiugang City’s army was much stronger than Huyang City and Xuyin City.
“I’m far inferior compared to Brother Luo He,” the white-haired youth Jiang Yuyou laughed.
His strength was comparable to Magili Xiao’s, far less than General Yong and Divine Lord Xue Yun.
“There are very few in Yuguo who can compare to Brother Luo He,” Magili Meng also flattered.
“Did Commander Jiang come tonight?” Luo Feng looked at him.
Jiang Yuyou said, “Brother Luo He, you killed Yutian Hu, Yutian Yi, and Xue Yun. When this news reached the Marquis, he was overjoyed. He immediately ordered me to rush to Huyang City overnight to deliver this list to Brother Luo He, who can choose one item from it.”
Jiang Yuyou took out a scroll, which flew to Luo Feng.
The scroll unfolded, and Luo Feng looked at it.
” ‘Void Nine Refinements Secret Tome’ First Volume, Divine King-level inheritance!”
” ‘Seven Destruction Kill Technique’, complete Chaos-level inheritance.”
One inheritance after another was listed, totaling nine inheritances.
Apart from the first one, ‘Void Nine Refinements Secret Tome’ First Volume, which was a Divine King-level inheritance, the rest were Chaos-level inheritances.
Luo Feng marveled at the Jiugang Marquis’s generosity. After all, the Broken Eastern River lineage only had three Divine King-level inheritances.
Jiugang Marquis himself might have learned several Divine King-level inheritances, but the only one he could pass on might be this one.
“This ‘Void Nine Refinements Secret Tome’ First Volume, judging by the name, is the Void Origin Path, which doesn’t suit me!” Luo Feng thought to himself.
Having two lineages’ inheritances, Luo Feng understood well.
To become a Chaos Overlord, one must master the Chaos Law. To become a Divine King, one must comprehend the Origin Path contained in the supreme rules.
For example, Boundary Beast Morosa was born with the Destruction Origin Path.
He had not delved deeply into the Void lineage and had no plans to follow it.
“Nine inheritances, Brother Luo He can choose one. Each one is extremely valuable, especially the ‘Void Nine Refinements Secret Tome’ First Volume, which is a Divine King-level inheritance and rare to come by,” Jiang Yuyou said. “The Marquis values Brother Luo He highly and is willing to cultivate you with all his might. If none of these inheritances are chosen, you can also choose ten million Cosmos Sand.”
Luo Feng thought for a moment, “I’ll take the ten million Cosmos Sand!”
Jiang Yuyou was slightly stunned.
He didn’t choose a Divine King-level inheritance? As the Marquis had guessed, such a powerful Eternal True God must already have a strong inheritance.
“Alright, the Marquis will directly send ten million Cosmos Sand to you through the Yan Feng Pavilion!” Jiang Yuyou said.
“Thank the Marquis for me!” Luo Feng said.
“The Marquis also personally contacted the national lord and mentioned you. The national lord is also pleased that Yuguo has such a talented person like Brother Luo He. The national lord said there would be an opportunity soon, and he will send an envoy to deliver it to you,” Jiang Yuyou said.
Luo Feng quickly stood up, “Thank the Marquis and the national lord for me.”
Without Jiugang Marquis’s push, it might have taken some time for the conflicts involving an Eternal True God to reach the national lord.
Jiugang Marquis personally reported it. To give face to his subordinate Chaos-level, the national lord of Yuguo had to show some gesture.
Therefore, Luo Feng indeed had to thank the Marquis and the national lord.
Luo Feng could not remain seated leisurely when receiving goodwill from a Divine King.
“Brother Luo He has done so much for Huyang City; getting these rewards is well-deserved. The Marquis has always been like this, never treating those who contribute badly,” Jiang Yuyou said. “However, Marquis Liu Yin from Shiguo will not give up. If Huyang City encounters trouble again, we may still need Brother Luo He’s help.”
Luo Feng smiled, “What impact can I have alone? Ultimately, it still depends on the City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Don’t worry about the conflicts between Shiguo and Yuguo. Eternal True Gods fighting each other won’t have Chaos-level bullying the weaker,” Jiang Yuyou said. “Otherwise, if both sides use higher levels to bully the lower ones, the world would have long been in chaos.”
“I understand!” Luo Feng nodded.
This was not just in Yuguo and Shiguo; it was an unspoken rule throughout the Origin Continent.
“Heart Shadow Sect was established by a Divine King. Even now, it has two fugitive Chaos-levels outside, with deep foundations. They should be able to attack Jiugang Chaos State,” Liu Yin Marquis thought.
Such tough matters were left to the Heart Shadow Sect. Liu Yin Marquis wouldn’t care if a group of disciples died.
Huyang City.
Chaos A-913 Residence.
This residence was one of the smaller ones in the Chaos A District, quite inconspicuous. However, it was now the most prestigious residence in Huyang City, with many visitors, none of whom could meet Divine Lord Luo He.
In the underground hall, within the Star Tower.
Morosa naturally absorbed divine power and digested it.
Luo Feng was collecting information through the Yan Feng Pavilion Dark Hall.
Comparing information with Jin Divine King and Broken Eastern River lineage, he decided what treasures to buy.
“In terms of Chaos Law, I still need time to accumulate. But in terms of willpower, I should be close to a breakthrough.”
“First, buy a rare item for willpower cultivation,” Luo Feng thought.
If his willpower could break through to the Divine King level, his ability to deal with danger would greatly increase.
“The rare items aiding willpower cultivation are all incredibly expensive.” Luo Feng felt distressed. There was no other way; his willpower was already at the peak of Chaos Overlord.
Ordinary rare items were almost useless to him.
He had to buy rare items used by Chaos Overlords, which were naturally very expensive.
“I can only afford a relatively cheaper one with my wealth,” Luo Feng immediately contacted the Yan Feng Pavilion Dark Hall.
“I want to buy a ‘Tribulation Beast Diagram.’”
“Divine Lord Luo He, the Tribulation Beast Diagram is drawn by an ancient existence of our Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom. Even a glance at the corner of the Tribulation Beast Diagram requires Chaos-level willpower. Those with willpower below Chaos-level will go completely mad even if they glimpse a corner,” the Dark Hall responded.
“Are you sure you still want to buy it?”
“I want to
buy it!”
Luo Feng did not hesitate.
For such a precious item, he had long gathered information to confirm it.
“The Tribulation Beast Diagrams we sell publicly in Yan Feng Pavilion, each has a fixed price of 15 million Cosmos Sand,” the Dark Hall responded. “You just need to pay the fee at any Dark Hall branch, and the Tribulation Beast Diagram will be delivered to you within ten days.”
Luo Feng felt distressed. Fifteen million Cosmos Sand for a single diagram.
But there was no choice. Among the rare items used by Chaos Overlords for willpower cultivation, the Tribulation Beast Diagram ranked in the top three for cost-effectiveness.
Among these top three, the Tribulation Beast Diagram was the cheapest.
Cheap, effective, and low-risk.
For Chaos Overlords, this price was indeed considered very cheap.
Some expensive ones even exceeded hundreds of millions of Cosmos Sand.
For Chaos Overlords with territories and continuous income, even hundreds of millions of Cosmos Sand could be afforded with some gritting of teeth.
“With my little wealth, this is the best willpower rare item I can afford,” Luo Feng felt that compared to Chaos Overlords, he was still too poor.
……
Under the night sky, the subordinates sent by Jiugang Marquis had already arrived in Huyang City.
“Second brother!” The white-haired old man warmly welcomed a white-haired youth. “This time, the Marquis actually let you come in person.”
“The Marquis indeed values this highly. He personally instructed me, so I could only come as quickly as possible!” the white-haired youth Jiang Yuyou said. “Brother, where is Divine Lord Luo He now?”
The white-haired old man said, “In his residence. After killing Yutian Hu, Yutian Yi, and Xue Yun, he first went to Yan Feng Pavilion to claim the bounty, then returned to his residence, seeing no guests.”
“I’m here on behalf of the Marquis. He won’t refuse to see me, will he? It would be embarrassing to be stopped outside his residence,” Jiang Yuyou asked.
“Don’t worry, I’ll let Moyu Hu contact his son Moyu Qingyan first. Once it’s confirmed, then we will visit!” the white-haired old man said.
