Chapter 191: The Initial Establishment of the Knife River Sect

"The Mother River Master is different from the information my master gave me," Luo Feng thought.

In the intelligence records provided by his master, Emperor Chu, the Mother River Master was described as fierce, unruly, and ruthless in his actions. He cultivated both the Grand Dao of Life Origin and the Grand Dao of Karma Origin, and possessed a terrifying secret treasure resembling a sharp spike, known to outsiders as 'Karmic Wind.' He was responsible for the deaths of dozens of Divine Kings from the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's royal family, making him the kingdom's greatest enemy.

Firstly, according to the supreme rules of the Origin Continent, the power of attacks from external life forms is limited to the peak of the Chaos Realm, while that of native life forms is limited to the ultimate Divine King Realm. Even if the ancestors of both kingdoms were to return, their destructive power on the Origin Continent would be limited.

Secondly, the Mother River Master's expertise in the paths of Life and Karma gave him a significant advantage in self-preservation.

The Yanfeng Ancestor had once taken action. Although limited to the ultimate Divine King Realm in power, he used his supreme realm and terrifying treasures to instantly destroy all of the Mother River Master's avatars and revival vessels on the Origin Continent.

However, after the Yanfeng Ancestor departed, the Mother River Master reappeared, indicating he had a way to prevent the Yanfeng Ancestor from completely eradicating all traces of him.

The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom harbored deep hatred for the Mother River Master but still could not kill him.

Many Divine Kings who were enemies with the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom had joined the Mother River of Life, including seven or eight at the Divine King Second Realm, which made the Mother River of Life act even more domineering and powerful. Luo Feng had felt this previously.

They were openly recruiting subordinates in his territory without bothering to inform him.

Even a single Northern Wind Divine King dared to challenge him.

"Furthermore, my master also has a grudge against him," Luo Feng knew.

The Mother River Master hated all the royal family members of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom! One of Master Emperor Chu's closest elders had died at the Mother River Master's hands, so Emperor Chu naturally harbored immense hatred and had pursued the Mother River Master multiple times.

Even with his main avatar and the secret treasure Karmic Wind, the Mother River Master could not contend with Emperor Chu, an ultimate life form who embodied the Grand Dao of Destruction Origin. Thus, he always kept his distance.

"One of his subordinates, the Northern Wind Divine King, was so arrogant. Yet the Mother River Master was surprisingly friendly, assuming I would ally with him?"

"Regardless, I owe much to my master's kindness, Emperor Ming's kindness, and the help from Emperor Chuyu and Emperor Chuying... They have already helped me enough." Luo Feng temporarily set the matter aside and looked at Primal Ancestor, who stood nearby.

"Primal Ancestor, let's go," Luo Feng said.

Primal Ancestor nodded, surprised that the matter had been resolved so smoothly.

Luo Feng and Primal Ancestor departed instantly.

On the square, hundreds of Eternal True Gods soon gathered, all looking somewhat bewildered.

A majestic voice echoed across the square: "From now on, my Blazing Fire Sect will completely withdraw from the twenty Chaos State territories overseen by City Lord Luo. There will be no more recruitment or selection here. All of you may return!"

"We have already come all this way, please have mercy on us."

"We wish to join the Blazing Fire Sect."

These Eternal True Gods grew anxious.

However, this decision was made by the highest leader of the Mother River of Life, the major power behind the Blazing Fire Sect! The complete withdrawal from the twenty Chaos States was final, with no room for objection.

"We received invitations and worked hard to get here from the surrounding areas. Although the Blazing Fire Sect's selection was strict, at least one in ten could get in. Now, there's no chance at all!"

"Although the Blazing Fire Sect is mysterious and powerful, it clearly couldn't contend with City Lord Luo."

"City Lord Luo is indeed formidable; his battle with the Food Kingdom Lord was earth-shattering. But how could he care about Eternal True Gods like us?"

These Eternal True Gods were considered elites, having traveled there only after receiving invitations! Of course, they still had to go through selection, and originally, dozens out of the hundreds would have been able to join the Blazing Fire Sect.

The Blazing Fire Sect was one of many forces under the Mother River of Life.

These Eternal True Gods would be distributed among various factions, and there would be internal competition!

"Let's go, let's go."

"Sigh, for Eternal True Gods like us, seeking an inheritance or an opportunity, why is it so difficult?"

"It's rare to find a Blazing Fire Sect, and now it's been driven out by City Lord Luo."

The hundreds of Eternal True Gods could only depart helplessly.

Primal Ancestor returned with Luo Feng to the Huyang City Lord's Mansion.

"Luo He," Primal Ancestor began, "during my investigation into the Mother River of Life's infiltration of our twenty Chaos States, I gained a considerable understanding of ordinary Eternal True Gods. It's very difficult for them to find an opportunity or a suitable inheritance! That's why they care so much about the Mother River of Life's recruitment."

Luo Feng nodded.

On the Origin Continent, Chaos Realm experts and some sects rely on inheritances and resources to make their Eternal True Gods fight fiercely.

He himself had spent considerable effort just to earn some resources back then.

"We've driven out the Mother River of Life, but the Eternal True Gods within our twenty Chaos States have lost a great opportunity," Primal Ancestor said.

"What do you mean?" Luo Feng looked at him.

"Given your growth rate, Luo He, the territory you govern in the future might be much larger than it is now," Primal Ancestor said. "I think we can start cultivating suitable practitioners in advance."

Luo Feng smiled, "I don't care about the size of the territory I govern."

"If you become powerful enough to rival an Emperor, Divine Kings might pledge their entire nations to you," Primal Ancestor said. "Tiankun, the Food Kingdom Lord, would likely be terrified and might even offer you the entire Food Kingdom territory as compensation."

Luo Feng's eyes narrowed.

"Tiankun, the Food Kingdom Lord, won't get a chance to compensate!"

However, if the Food Kingdom Lord was dealt with, the Food Kingdom's territory would likely fall under his control.

"You may not care about the size of the territory, but ordinary cultivators do," Primal Ancestor said. "If a lord is too cruel and ruthless, ordinary cultivators naturally lead miserable lives, just like the Snow Realm Ancestor... The entire Snow Realm territory's countless beings suffer terribly."

"However, under your rule, the lives of ordinary cultivators would be completely different," Primal Ancestor said.

Luo Feng's heart stirred.

It might be a minor matter to him, but it had profound implications for countless cultivators.

"You're right," Luo Feng said, looking at Primal Ancestor. Primal Ancestor saw things more clearly than he did.

"My many illusory avatars have integrated into every aspect of life across the Origin Continent, some even venturing into other nations," Primal Ancestor said with emotion. "I am very clear about the lives ordinary cultivators lead."

Luo Feng nodded: "Then let's establish a sect and recruit disciples under its name."

"What will the sect be called?" Primal Ancestor asked.

"Blade River Sect," Luo Feng smiled.

Primal Ancestor understood.

He knew, of course, that Luo Feng was once known as Blade River King during the Primal Universe era.

"The sect's rules, disciple recruitment, and all other aspects will be trouble for you, Primal Ancestor," Luo Feng said. Primal Ancestor had long ago created the secret art of the Virtual Universe and was now deeply immersed in this path, having a thorough understanding of how the world operates and the desires and emotions of all beings.

Luo Feng felt most at ease entrusting this matter to Primal Ancestor.

"Very well," Primal Ancestor readily accepted. It was his suggestion, and he genuinely cared about ordinary cultivators.

"Our Blade River Sect has territory and resources, the only thing we lack is truly powerful inheritances," Primal Ancestor said. "While many inheritances leading to the Chaos Realm can be easily gathered, the effectiveness of Chaos Realm inheritances created by beings of different levels varies."

One written by a Chaos Realm expert.

Another by a Divine King.

Or even by an ultimate Divine King. Although all would contain content leading to the Chaos Realm, those written by an ultimate Divine King would be simpler, easier to understand, and more directly grasp the essence, greatly increasing the hope of achieving the Chaos Realm.

"I'll do it myself. I'll write a dozen or so Divine King-level inheritances soon," Luo Feng said.

"Excellent!" Primal Ancestor's eyes lit up. "With your accumulated knowledge and talent, Luo He, the inheritances you create will naturally far surpass the ordinary ones available for purchase."

Writing Divine King-level inheritances was very easy for Luo Feng.

He had, after all, relied on the profound mysteries of the Chaos Realm to comprehend the 'Ten Directions World' mindset and the first strike of the 'Six Chaos Strikes.' His deep understanding of Chaos Realm mysteries was evident.

Moreover, he had now comprehended the six major branches of Life and the six major branches of Destruction, even fusing moves from both origin Grand Daos into some 'Life and Death Grand Dao' techniques. He had also studied four supreme inheritances, which greatly broadened his horizons.

With such a wealth of knowledge, he began creating the most fundamental Divine King-level inheritances! Their effectiveness would likely surpass many inheritances created by Divine Kings at the Second Realm.

Writing inheritances was also a review and summary of his own cultivation.

"Here are fifteen Divine King-level inheritances." In just over a hundred thousand days, Luo Feng created fifteen Divine King-level inheritances and stored them in the newly established Blade River Sect headquarters.

"That fast?" Primal Ancestor picked up the first volume of a Divine King-level inheritance and began to examine it. He immediately became engrossed and only looked up at Luo Feng after finishing, exclaiming, "This first volume, leading to the Chaos Realm, is more concise and easier to understand than any inheritance I've seen, yet its upper limit is clearly much higher."

Luo Feng smiled and nodded: "The first and second volumes are a single entity. The first volume leads to the Chaos Realm, laying a solid foundation that makes cultivating the second volume easier, and also slightly increases the hope of reaching the Divine King Realm!"

Luo Feng adhered to his own cultivation philosophy: he didn't expect sect disciples to comprehend high-level secret arts at low realms, but he did want them to master a sufficient number of secret arts at their own level to ensure a solid foundation.

"Among the fifteen inheritances, six are for the Grand Dao of Life Origin, and six are for the Grand Dao of Destruction Origin. As for the remaining three… they don't have complete Grand Dao references within the supreme rules. Those with affinity may comprehend them," Luo Feng said.

In Luo Feng's view, these were all basic inheritances.

Each of the six Life inheritances focused on cultivating only one branch.

Each of the six Destruction inheritances also focused on cultivating only one branch. This would minimize the difficulty of becoming a Divine King. Of course, Luo Feng knew... even so, becoming a Divine King would still be incredibly difficult.

"With these fifteen inheritances, the sect's foundation will be incredibly strong," Primal Ancestor praised. "Even I need to study them carefully. I became a Chaos Realm expert long ago... but now I feel my understanding of Chaos laws isn't thorough enough."

By examining these inheritances, Primal Ancestor truly felt the solidity of Luo Feng's foundation.

"Then I'll begin openly recruiting disciples?" Primal Ancestor said. "I'll also publicly announce that you, Luo He, are the Blade River Sect's master! Only your reputation... will make countless Eternal True Gods eager to join the Blade River Sect. The Blade River Sect's appeal will undoubtedly be far stronger than that of the secretive factions of the Mother River of Life."

The Mother River of Life was, after all, a force completely targeted by the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. Each time they recruited disciples, it was in small groups, and they had no public sect headquarters.

The Blade River Sect, founded by City Lord Luo, who governed the surrounding twenty Chaos States, was truly a grand and legitimate sect.

"Begin recruitment," Luo Feng nodded.

Primal Ancestor was quite excited. In his view, future strong practitioners of the human race who traversed the reincarnation cycle to reach the Origin Continent would also become part of the Blade River Sect.
