Chapter 144: First Transcendence in the Chaotic Realm Luo He

In the Chu Capital of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, Luo Feng also maintained a clone that resided there permanently, carrying a hundred million Black River entities and a portion of his divine power reserves. This clone was somewhat weaker than his true body but still significantly stronger than Grand Sage Biyun and Lord Huangfeng City.

"Luo He, I've heard you single-handedly swept aside Grand Sage Biyun, Manor Lord Yuanxiu, Lord Huangfeng City, and Grand Sage Yansu, monopolizing the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls." A message arrived. "Would you be willing to sell the complete video intelligence of your victory over those four to the Dark Hall of our Yanfeng Guild Hall?"

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. Buying intelligence from him? This had never happened before! Of the entire battle that had just concluded, Lord Huangfeng City knew the most, besides Luo Feng himself. Given that Lord Huangfeng City was connected to the Yanfeng Guild Hall through the Imperial Family of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, it was likely they preferred not to contact him directly.

"As the victor of this battle, we believe your intelligence, Luo He, is the most comprehensive," the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild Hall communicated. "Our Yanfeng Guild Hall's Dark Hall is willing to purchase the complete video footage of the battle for ten billion Cosmic Sands."

"Twenty billion Cosmic Sands," Luo Feng replied.

"Luo He, not many on the Origin Continent can afford your detailed intelligence; it's mostly God Kings and a very small number of Chaos Realm experts. Only a few of them would even buy it, and they might even share information with each other," the Yanfeng Guild Hall responded. If one strong individual purchased it and then informed a few friends, the Yanfeng Guild Hall couldn't prevent it.

"Then fifteen billion Cosmic Sands," Luo Feng conceded a step. "No less than that."

"Alright," the Yanfeng Guild Hall's Dark Hall replied courteously, "then the Yanfeng Guild Hall will make a friend in Grand Sage Luo He." Luo Feng didn't know who was contacting him, as it was an official message from the Dark Hall. However, anyone daring to say, "the Yanfeng Guild Hall will make a friend in Grand Sage Luo He," was likely a high-ranking member of the Yanfeng Guild Hall.

"Should these fifteen billion Cosmic Sands be deposited under your name, Luo He?"

"Yes, here is the complete video of the previous battle."

Luo Feng didn't conceal anything. If the Yanfeng Guild Hall truly investigated, Yansu and Grand Sage Biyun had partial battle footage, and the "desperate" Lord Huangfeng City had the complete video. It was better for Luo Feng to earn this sum himself. In fact, the Yanfeng Guild Hall could also trace events using spacetime methods, but the cost would be too great. It was cheaper to spend some Cosmic Sands and buy it directly from the victor.

"Finally, I've recouped some losses." After Luo Feng mastered the Trinity Form secret technique, his previously commissioned task at the Yanfeng Guild Hall for perfect Chaos-level biological materials was terminated. However, his daily expenses were still quite high.

Within a vast illusory realm, "What a Luo He," a figure of mist and cloud coalesced, quite annoyed. "Through Lord Huangfeng City and Yansu, I previously gathered 20 Blood Spirit Golden Pearls for Marquis Chuchang. Grand Sage Biyun obtained 25, only slightly more than Marquis Chuchang." In his plan, he intended to help Marquis Chuchang secure second place. According to his calculations for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task, Marquis Chuying and Marquis Chuchang would be far ahead, with the other five first-rank marquises significantly trailing.

"Now, Luo He has monopolized the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls!"

"If he weren't Emperor Chu's disciple, a mere Chaos Realm Transcendent daring to be so presumptuous with me... I'd certainly make him pay for his disrespect..." As an internal member of the Two Realms Palace, the cloud figure had been high and mighty on the Origin Continent for too long. Luo Feng's perceived disrespect had already ignited his wrath, but Luo Feng's master was Emperor Chu! He could only calm down!

"Luo He's latest complete intelligence?" The cloud figure immediately bought it with a thought. The purchase price for this complete intelligence was one hundred million Cosmic Sands, which he didn't care about. Although he held himself in high regard, the complete intelligence from the Yanfeng Guild Hall was still extremely valuable.

This complete intelligence included details of the recent skirmish: Manor Lord Yuanxiu's early withdrawal, all of Grand Sage Yansu's clones being annihilated, Grand Sage Biyun piercing through the dark world's membrane to escape, Lord Huangfeng City being effortlessly ravaged by Luo He's bare hands, and Luo He using his Blood Shadow Blade to cleave him into numerous pieces and collect them.

The report summarized: "Luo He, Emperor Chu's direct disciple. He cultivates the three fundamental Grand Dao paths: Life, Destruction, and Matter. Combining these three Grand Dao paths, he self-created the 'Frozen Body Method,' achieving a Cosmic Flesh body level. His Black River World is one that Grand Sage Yansu couldn't break through. Within his vast Black River Domain, Lord Huangfeng City could only drift helplessly, unable to act independently. His combination of world, domain, long-range attack, close combat, and physical body—all derived from the three fundamental Grand Dao paths—leaves him with no weaknesses in any aspect, making him undoubtedly the top expert among Chaos Realm Transcendent beings."

"Key Reminders: One, his physical body possesses extraordinary life spirituality, allowing every piece of flesh and blood to transform into an independent clone. The number of his clones is uncountable. Two, to be able to control a body far surpassing 'Primal Bloodline Flesh' at the Chaos Realm, he must possess mental willpower far beyond his peers. His mental willpower is at least at the second stage of God King." The more terrifying the physical body, the higher the mental willpower required to control it. Luo Feng's powerful soul, stemming from his perfect divine body, combined with his second-stage God King mental willpower and the 'Lie Yuan Technique,' meant that controlling merely ten billion Black River entities consumed over half of his mental effort. The Yanfeng Guild Hall, despite not knowing about his perfect divine body, accurately assessed Luo Feng's mental willpower to be at least at the second stage of God King, which was very precise. "Three, he achieved the strength of the top Chaos Realm Transcendent without relying on Primal power, Primal materials, or Primal bloodlines. Instead, he self-created a body-refining secret technique, a talent so extraordinary it's almost inconceivable. It can be inferred that he will become a God King in the near future! Once he reaches the God King level, his strength will experience a comprehensive upgrade. Furthermore, his master, Emperor Chu, is quite protective and will undoubtedly cultivate Luo He with all his might."

The cloud figure absorbed this detailed intelligence. The report contained various video clips and a wealth of inferred information. "At the Chaos Realm, he already has at least second-stage God King mental willpower?" the cloud figure mused to himself. "No wonder he could resist the Two Realms Palace's summons. This Luo He is not just ordinarily troublesome," the cloud figure thought, looking at the intelligence report, now fully understanding. Other Chaos Realm Transcendent beings relied on external objects for cultivation, their foundational accumulation not deep enough, making it difficult to become God Kings. But Luo Feng, who became a Chaos Realm Transcendent by self-creating a body-refining method, had a very profound accumulation, giving him a much greater certainty of becoming a God King.

"Time is long, there will be plenty of opportunities later," the cloud figure thought. "Once major turmoil arises, even the Emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom will fight like mad. At that time, a slight push within the maelstrom will be enough to send Luo He into an endless abyss. This little fellow simply doesn't understand how turbulent the undercurrents at the God King level can be," the cloud figure sneered. Even now, Luo Feng had no idea who this powerful individual from the Two Realms Palace truly was. This was also the terrifying aspect of the Two Realms Palace. They stirred up trouble, yet their identities remained a mystery.

At Marquis Chuyu's Residence in the Chu Capital, "Brother Luo He, he single-handedly swept aside the other four and monopolized the Blood Spirit Star?" Marquis Chuyu naturally received the news from his friends immediately, and this news left him somewhat stunned. Monopolizing the Blood Spirit Star? Didn't that mean he was already first in one of the three sub-tasks of the Heavenly-level mission? And a far-leading first at that.

"What exactly happened?" Marquis Chuyu immediately investigated, and soon he also purchased the latest complete intelligence on Luo Feng. This complete intelligence left Marquis Chuyu speechless. "Clones, uncountable? At least second-stage God King mental willpower? Self-created body-refining method, talent so high it's inconceivable?" Marquis Chuyu himself was a Chaos Realm Infinite Divine Body expert with considerable talent, so he clearly understood what these intelligence reports implied. That was—the number one among Chaos Realm Transcendent beings! And without relying on external objects!

"A guest elder I selected in Huyang City turned out to be so powerful." Marquis Chuyu himself found it hard to believe; when he first met Luo He, Luo He was merely an Eternal True God.

Marquis Chuyu quickly calmed down. "Brother Luo He, so much of your intelligence has been revealed, do you know about it?" Marquis Chuyu didn't dare to hesitate and immediately sent the report to Luo Feng.

"Haha, no need to worry, some of that intelligence I sold to the Yanfeng Guild Hall myself," Luo Feng replied. Luo Feng was also somewhat speechless when he saw the detailed intelligence. Clones? Mental willpower? They deduced quite comprehensively. "They think too highly of me. I actually don't cultivate the fundamental Grand Dao of matter concurrently," Luo Feng thought. This intelligence was already very comprehensive; almost all of his methods were recorded. Of course, there were some methods, like using mental willpower to activate the Lie Yuan Technique, or some abilities of the Star Tower, and some abilities derived from his perfect divine body—the Yanfeng Guild Hall couldn't have figured these out.

"Just as this intelligence report states, I still need to increase my accumulation and become a God King as soon as possible!" Luo Feng clearly understood: realm is the foundation, secret techniques are the branches and leaves! The higher the realm, the more powerful one's various methods become.

In Emperor Chu's Palace, "Hahaha, this intelligence report from the Yanfeng Guild Hall is quite accurate!" Emperor Chu said, looking at the report, overjoyed and incredibly pleased. "My disciple Luo Feng's talent is simply inconceivable; he became the number one Chaos Realm Transcendent by self-creating a secret technique! He's immeasurably stronger than other Chaos Realm Transcendent beings." What's the point of relying on external power? For example, Marquis Chuyuan, the strongest of the seven first-rank marquises, also had hopes of becoming a Chaos Realm Transcendent! But that was with the aid of a Primal bloodline; his personal comprehension of the Grand Dao was much weaker. Previously, among a group of average talents, Emperor Chu was willing to cultivate Marquis Chuyuan. After all, before Luo Feng's arrival, the Emperor Chu lineage only had two Chaos Realm Transcendent beings. But now? With Luo Feng, Emperor Chu felt everyone else was simply too ordinary. The feeling of having a genius disciple was indeed very comfortable.

"This is what true talent means—becoming the top Chaos Realm Transcendent in a short time, relying solely on oneself. I believe he'll become a God King before long," Emperor Chu thought. "I also need to find ways to secure some important resources for my disciple." The most crucial resources needed by God Kings were not those bestowed by Ancestor Yanfeng or Ancestor Thunder, but those left behind by Yuan. Yuan had goodwill towards the God Kings of the Origin Continent, leaving behind numerous resources for them to compete for, so that the capable would naturally gain more. The 'Lie Yuan Technique' was one such resource. Yuan also knew that mastering the 'Lie Yuan Technique' was difficult, so he left many copies, but ultimately, Luo Feng in the Original Universe was the one who mastered it. The moment he mastered it, all other 'Lie Yuan Technique' carriers were annihilated. There were many similar resources—be it inheritances, weapons and treasures, or opportunities. Those ancient beings would stop at nothing to obtain them.

"No rush, I'll plan slowly," Emperor Chu thought.
