Chapter 150: The Invitation of the Two Realms Palace

At the border of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, within Xiangjie City's Garrison Mansion, a vast multitude of subordinates respectfully bowed, exclaiming, "Greetings, Garrison General!" Luo Feng was seated in the main position, with Morosa, Moyu Qingyan, and Original Ancestor standing beside him.

In ordinary cities, the roles of city lord and military commander are typically held by two different powerful individuals. However, when a Chaos Realm Transcendence expert garrisons a city, they usually assume both responsibilities, consolidating all authority. As Luo Feng was the foremost Chaos Realm Transcendence expert, news of his assignment to Xiangjie City had already spread, and the city had long prepared for his arrival.

Looking down at his subordinates, Luo Feng announced, "From today onwards, Original Ancestor will serve as the Deputy Garrison Commander of Xiangjie City. His orders are my orders. Do you all understand?""Understood!" all the subordinates responded, without a single objection.Luo Feng nodded. "Take your seats."

This large group of subordinates included over three hundred Eternal True Gods and more than a thousand Void True Gods holding important positions. Before Luo Feng, the foremost Chaos Realm Transcendence expert, they simply needed to obey.

After the banquet dispersed, Luo Feng and Original Ancestor walked side-by-side. "Original Ancestor," Luo Feng began, "I'll be troubling you with Xiangjie City's affairs from now on."Original Ancestor smiled. "My numerous illusory avatars are living in the Origin Continent under various identities. Now, managing a large city will be another kind of experience, quite suitable for my cultivation."

"Oh, and your disciple, Moyu Qingyan, can also get more involved in city affairs," Original Ancestor added. "Experiencing more things is a form of tempering the mind.""Good." Luo Feng chuckled, "I haven't taught this disciple much myself. You all have been teaching him."Moyu Qingyan's talent was indeed rather ordinary. After becoming a Void True God through the law lineage, his progress became increasingly difficult. After discussions between Original Ancestor, Morosa, and Luo Feng's final decision, Moyu Qingyan had switched to cultivating the bloodline system. With Moyu Qingyan's talent, if he had focused solely on the law path, becoming an Eternal True God in this lifetime would have been remarkable. However, by cultivating the bloodline system, with the assistance of Luo Feng and Morosa, becoming an Eternal True God would be quite easy, and there was even a slim hope of reaching the Chaos Realm.

"One truly can't discern the reality of Original Ancestor's illusory avatars," Luo Feng thought as he watched Original Ancestor depart. Luo Feng couldn't even tell if the one who came with him to Xiangjie City was his true body or an avatar. Nowadays, there was no discernible difference between his true body and his illusory avatars; they possessed the same physical form and aura.

"If Original Ancestor hadn't been suppressed by the Original Universe back then, with his power, he would likely have already successfully undergone reincarnation," Luo Feng mused. He then took a step and entered the secret great hall deep underground. Inside, there was a world entrance leading to another world.

Luo Feng looked at the world entrance. Now equipped with array talismans, the array formation would prevent the Primal Bloodline creatures from escaping. "This world is teeming with Primal Bloodline creatures," Luo Feng thought, his eyes gleaming. Guarding Xiangjie City for ten thousand epochs would normally yield about a million merit points. However, Luo Feng was sent here as punishment, so he wouldn't gain any merit. Luo Feng wasn't bothered by the loss of a million merit points. "The Chaos Realm level Primal Bloodline creatures are relatively weak, making them perfect for my research."

After comprehending the 'Trinity Form,' Luo Feng's next step was naturally to study the life composition of the even stronger 'Ten Directions World Form.' The Golden Scaled Beetle was a Chaos Realm level Primal Bloodline creature, considered among the most perfect. A single specimen was worth a million merit points.

"However, there's a strict order that as a guardian, I must not steal or kill Primal Bloodline creatures," Luo Feng knew. This was a severe directive. The array formation sealing that world continuously recorded every scene. Stealing or killing Primal Bloodline creatures were grave offenses, far more serious than killing a few of Yan Su's avatars.

"But if I just spar with them, or give them a good beating, that's fine," Luo Feng smiled. This was because many Primal Bloodline creatures inherently engaged in fights, which also promoted the evolution of their bloodline. "If I frequently go and 'beat' those Primal Bloodline creatures into submission, making them docile so I can study their blood, scales, and feathers, they shouldn't mind," Luo Feng mused.

The materials from a single Golden Scaled Beetle body wouldn't be enough, so he would need more materials for extensive research.

The nights in Xiangjie City were also very lively and prosperous. Since the news spread that Luo Feng, the top Chaos Realm Transcendence expert, would be guarding Xiangjie City for ten thousand epochs, many factions began increasing their investment in the city. Some family branches came to settle here, and the prices of cave dwellings in Xiangjie City doubled.

"Being able to live safely for ten thousand epochs is a luxury for many cultivators," Morosa remarked from the garrison's tower, gazing out at the city. Luo Feng nodded. Although True Gods have a lifespan of thirty thousand epochs, and Void True Gods have infinite lifespans, in reality, cultivators on the Origin Continent are easily caught in conflicts. Their actual lifespans are considerably shorter.

Even large families would establish multiple branches in different cities. After all, if they gathered in one place, they might be wiped out if caught in a battle between terrifying entities.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng sensed something and turned his head to see a bald figure coalescing from light beside him. The bald figure smiled at Luo Feng. Just by being gazed upon, Luo Feng felt as if he were being stared at by a terrifying monster, capable of crushing him at any moment. Even his true body, with its ninety billion Black Rivers, felt unable to resist the other party!

"Morosa, you may withdraw," Luo Feng instructed immediately."Yes, Master," Morosa replied, glancing at the bald figure. His heart pounded with dread. This was terrifying. Morosa could sense that even if he unleashed his full power, he would be utterly annihilated, leaving no trace behind. This was definitely not the strength a God King of the First Stage could possess.

"Luo Feng," the bald figure said, standing there and smiling at him."I am Pilgrim, the Vice Palace Master of the Two Worlds Palace."Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise, "I heard that the highest positions in the Two Worlds Palace are held by the Palace Master and the Vice Palace Master. I never expected the Vice Palace Master to visit me personally today!" As one of the top hidden powers in the Origin Continent, the status of the Vice Palace Master of the Two Worlds Palace was self-evident.

The bald figure smiled, "This also represents the importance our Two Worlds Palace places on you. You created your own secret technique to become the top Chaos Realm Transcendence expert! With this level of comprehension and potential, once you become a God King, with a little accumulation, you will reach the invincible level of a God King of the First Stage. At that time, you can become an official member of our Two Worlds Palace."

"The invincible level of a God King of the First Stage?" Luo Feng understood. Many God Kings, even if they cultivated to the limits of their inherited techniques, were far from reaching this level. For example, even if one mastered the first tribulation of the 'Eight Tribulations Life Form,' their life-saving ability would be very strong, but their direct combat strength would only be considered extremely powerful among God Kings. Similarly, mastering the first volume of 'Seventy-Two Blades of New Destruction' would grant terrifying destructive power, but other aspects would be too weak to qualify as an invincible God King of the First Stage.The invincible level of a God King of the First Stage! This level was comparable to a normal God King of the Second Stage, making one a true overlord on the Origin Continent, and it was also the threshold for joining the Two Worlds Palace.

"That's why we're inviting you early. You can become an outer member first. Once you become a God King, you'll soon become an official member," the bald figure said. "In our Two Worlds Palace, apart from the Palace Master and me, no other members will know your identity. Everyone gathers as mental projections within the virtual Two Worlds Palace, and each person uses a codename. We unite to break the two ancient kingdoms' monopolization of various resources."

"Monopolization?" Luo Feng listened."As a Chaos Realm Transcendence expert, you don't yet pose a threat to the God Lords, which is why the God Kings of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom seem friendly towards you," the bald figure said. "But once their interests are involved, they will bare their fangs."

Luo Feng listened, knowing full well that the thirteen royal factions fought fiercely."What is the most precious resource in the entire Origin Continent?" the bald figure asked. "Is it the resources brought back by Ancestor Yanfeng and Ancestor Leimai from outside the cage? No! It's the resources left behind by Master Yuan!"

"I was personally guided by Master Yuan, which is my greatest fortune," the bald figure said, looking at Luo Feng. "Master Yuan left behind many resources on the Origin Continent, but the two ancient kingdoms occupy the vast majority of them."

"If we non-royal cultivators don't unite, we won't even be able to get our hands on the remaining portion," the bald figure said, looking at Luo Feng. "You are Emperor Chu's personal disciple, but what good is that?"

"The resources of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's royalty can only be distributed to the royal family! Non-royal guest cultivators must earn merit to exchange for them. Even the most important resources cannot be exchanged for, even with merit," the bald figure explained. "But these resources were left by Master Yuan; they are for all cultivators! Of course, we have the right to contend for them." Luo Feng listened.

"You must have noticed that very few God Kings fully join the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom," the bald figure said. Luo Feng acknowledged this. Many guest God Kings, while holding the status of guests, still establish their own divine kingdoms and powers externally. Indeed, very few fully join the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom."You must have noticed that the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom has thirteen Emperors and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom has nine Monarchs. However, this Emperor and Monarch level... is exclusively held by the royal families of these two ancient kingdoms," the bald figure said. "Why have all external cultivators, including the personal disciples of Ancestor Yanfeng and Ancestor Leimai, not reached the power of an Emperor or Monarch? Is it because their talent or comprehension is insufficient? It's because the resources needed to become an Emperor or Monarch are only given to the royal family," the bald figure said, looking at Luo Feng. "I can tell you that some of the resources left by Master Yuan are for those below the God King level."

Luo Feng's heart stirred. *Could those below the God King level also access resources left by Master Yuan? The 'Array Origin Technique' should count.*"But have you accessed them?" the bald figure asked, looking at Luo Feng. "Will your master, Emperor Chu, give them to you? He won't! Because he doesn't have the authority to. Master Yuan's most precious and core resources must go to the royal family. Only the more peripheral ones will be given to you so-called personal disciples," the bald figure said. "If you don't believe me, you can ask your master and see what he says."

"I can tell you that every Chaos Realm Transcendence expert of the royal family has the right to enter certain treasure grounds left by Master Yuan," the bald figure said, looking at Luo Feng. "As the top Chaos Realm Transcendence expert, you probably haven't even heard of this, have you? You can also ask your master about this. Given Emperor Chu's personality, he won't conceal it from you."

"With time, as you become a God King, you will understand. These are not secrets."

As the bald figure spoke, he casually tossed a token. "Once you understand, you can crush this token at any time to become an outer disciple of our Two Worlds Palace. I can promise you that as long as you agree to join the Two Worlds Palace, I will immediately send you into one of the treasure grounds left by Master Yuan. Our Two Worlds Palace believes in equality among members, mutual cooperation, and fair exchange. However, your first opportunity to enter a treasure ground will be my gift to you."Luo Feng took the token and said, "I'll think about it."

The bald figure smiled and nodded, then silently dissipated.
