The establishment of Daohe Sect was a momentous occasion for the dozens of Chaos States around Huyang City!
Countless cultivators were thrilled, and some Eternal True Gods from within the borders of Shikoku and Yuguo even rushed to join the Daohe Sect.
"A sect founded by God-King Luohe!" "When God-King Luohe was in the Chaos Realm, he was already the undisputed strongest. After becoming a God-King... he could immediately rival the Lord of Shikoku!"
Among the cultivators in the dozens of surrounding Chaos States, who didn't know about the Lord of Shikoku's tyranny! For a long time, Shikoku had been encroaching upon and annexing neighboring territories, even causing Kangguo significant losses.
Luo Feng's battle with the Lord of Shikoku, where he even forcibly seized ten Chaos States from Shikoku, had already proven his formidable strength! Otherwise, why would the Lord of Shikoku have ceded ten Chaos States?
"During Daohe Sect's first recruitment drive, we took in 1,508 Eternal True God-level disciples, over 30,000 Void True God-level disciples, and more than 50,000 True God-level disciples, despite very strict screening for the latter," Yuan said.
Moluo Sa, standing nearby, added, "We tried our best to raise the thresholds, but too many cultivators came to participate."
"The numbers are higher than I anticipated," Luo Feng said. As a newly established sect, it might have some operational flaws, so the initial recruitment scale was meant to be controlled, and the conditions were set very high. Yet, the number of selected disciples ended up being several times more than estimated.
"Mainly, besides our twenty Chaos States, there are too many cultivators rushing over from the surrounding Shikoku and Yuguo," Yuan explained. "Neither the Lord of Shikoku nor the Lord of Yuguo has established a sect. In their own nations, only the most elite and dazzling Eternal True Gods are invited to become their disciples, and that number is simply too small."
Luo Feng nodded. He recalled receiving an invitation from the Lord of Yuguo to become his disciple when he was dazzling enough. How many could truly reach such a level of brilliance?
"For the Lord of Shikoku and the Lord of Yuguo, disciples hold little significance," Luo Feng stated. At their level, the vast resources provided by their nations are primarily for their families and subordinates.
They are more concerned with the resources left behind by Yuan and with their own Hunyuan bloodline cultivation.
"About one-third of the disciples we recruited this time are from our twenty Chaos States," Yuan mentioned.
"From now on, I'll be troubling you two with the sect's affairs," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Rest assured," Moluo Sa immediately replied.
Yuan nodded.
Although they appeared to be two Chaos Realm experts, Moluo Sa was actually a God-King. Their oversight of the sect's daily operations was more than sufficient.
"We might still need you, Luohe, to grant some disciple slots," Yuan said. "Just nominal disciple slots would suffice. This will motivate the sect's disciples to strive even harder."
"First, grant ten nominal disciple slots and one direct disciple slot."
"That's enough," Yuan nodded.
Hearing this, Moluo Sa's heart stirred. "My master is going to recruit a second direct disciple. Qingyan's position won't be as stable then. That kid cultivates the bloodline cultivation system, and I personally guide him and provide resources, yet he has only comprehended one Chaos Realm move so far! He's still so far from reaching the Chaos Realm."
"Someone like Bloodcloud God Lord from back then mastered numerous Chaos Realm moves, even forming a complete system."
"I need to push him harder," Moluo Sa secretly decided. He knew well that his master possessed extraordinary talent, and Daohe Sect was widely recruiting disciples. In the future, the master's direct and nominal disciples would all be highly talented.
Mo Yuqingyan could only stabilize his position by reaching the Chaos Realm and then relying on his status as the senior direct disciple. Otherwise, even as the senior direct disciple, merely being an Eternal True God would lead to marginalization among the other disciples later on.
The establishment of Daohe Sect was a significant event in Huyang City, Shikoku, and Yuguo. However, in the grand scheme of the entire Origin Continent, it was quite insignificant. Daohe Sect, as it stood, was barely even a second-rate power!
In terms of territory and overall sect strength, it was too weak! Only its Sect Master, God-King Luohe, could be considered a true overlord.
In the blink of an eye, half an epoch had passed since the establishment of Daohe Sect.
"Hmm, Emperor Guixu invites me to the treasure land 'Dream Domain'." Luo Feng, in seclusion, received an invitation from the Samsara Pavilion. His heart stirred, and he immediately used his token, allowing his consciousness to descend upon the Samsara Pavilion.
Luo Feng had visited the illusory pavilion several times since becoming an official member of the Samsara Pavilion.
He had also received invitations for missions after becoming a God-King, but Luo Feng had declined them all.
"Brother Luohe," said a burly figure inside the Samsara Pavilion, smiling as he called out. This was Emperor Guixu, the one who initiated this mission.
"Luohe," said another figure, a one-eyed woman in a pale green robe, emitting a faint aura of wickedness. She was God-King Yuntian, also at the first level of the God-King Realm.
Within the entire Samsara Pavilion, only she and Luo Feng were at the first level of the God-King Realm.
Luo Feng casually sat down and asked, "Who else?"
"God-King Wuxin will arrive soon," Emperor Guixu replied.
In just a few breaths, a young man also entered with a smile: "Brother Gui, are there any other members?"
"It's just the four of us this time," Emperor Guixu said with a smile. "It's truly rare for Brother Luohe to accept an invitation. This is the first time Brother Luohe has been willing to act since joining the Samsara Pavilion."
God-King Wuxin also added, "Brother Luohe has been very busy lately, having just become a God-King, fought the Lord of Tian Kingdom, and now established a sect."
"I've just finished being busy," Luo Feng replied.
"Establishing a sect actually adds another burden," the one-eyed woman, God-King Yuntian, commented. "If you cause a major disaster in the future, the sect could become your weakness."
Emperor Guixu said, "Brother Luohe is different from us. He excels in clone techniques and cultivates multiple Grand Dao, so his life-saving abilities are much stronger. Even if he caused a major disaster, how many would dare to pursue him endlessly? I've come to realize that in the Origin Continent, survival skills are more important than killing skills!"
"Indeed," God-King Wuxin nodded in agreement.
"And you two still think your life-saving abilities are weak?" The one-eyed woman, God-King Yuntian, shook her head, speechless. Emperor Guixu, in his previous life, died only after being besieged by three emperors, yet he still managed to reincarnate.
God-King Wuxin's direct combat strength was comparable to Emperor Guixu's, but his escape ability was superior. Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom had ambushed and besieged him multiple times, and God-King Wuxin had escaped each time. Later, for the sake of his own clan, he voluntarily chose to reincarnate amidst a siege.
After reincarnation, he hid in the shadows. Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom couldn't find him through karma, becoming even more wary and hesitant to easily harm God-King Wuxin's descendants. Leaving his clan alive was a form of leverage.
Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom had learned its lesson: how great the threat posed by a terrifying God-King with no ties and a heart full of hatred could be.
Back then, the three emperors killed Emperor Guixu's wife, children, clan members, and all living beings in his city, believing they could completely eradicate him! However, Emperor Guixu's methods were stronger than they anticipated. Even after handing over his secret treasures, he managed to withstand the combined killing moves of the three emperors for a brief moment, giving him enough time to reincarnate.
After his reincarnation, Emperor Guixu relentlessly employed all means against Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, especially targeting newly ascended God-Kings! Those newly breakthrough God-Kings were relatively weaker... Emperor Guixu would use his superior power to ambush and kill them by any means possible, even destroying their resurrection vessels.
To this day, he has completely annihilated seven or eight God-Kings from Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, causing great distress to the kingdom.
"Let's talk business," Emperor Guixu said, sitting down. "This time, I plan to go to the treasure land 'Dream Domain'. I invited all members, and only the four of us are willing to go together."
Yuan left behind several treasure lands in the Origin Continent. Some require specific slots. Some are open to anyone! However, precisely because they are unrestricted, the entry threshold is extremely high! Powerful factions try to monopolize them, so to enter, one must fight their way in!
"'Dream Domain'..." Luo Feng naturally knew about this treasure land. "With my current strength, I can't fight my way in! If I were to enter through connections with Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, I would have to become their subordinate."
"That's how it is for guest elders. Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom might let them in. But they would have to complete numerous tasks. And the majority of any treasures obtained would go to the royal family. That's the price of entry!"
"Usually, many of our operations involve just the three of us," Emperor Guixu chuckled. "This time, with Brother Luohe, it will be much easier. For many dangerous situations, we can ask Brother Luohe to help us scout."
"Leave it to me."
"To scout for danger, I can deploy a weaker clone."
"From now on, when the four of us act together, God-King Yuntian will be responsible for the domain," Emperor Guixu stated. "Wuxin and I will handle powerful enemies, and Brother Luohe will be responsible for scouting."
"Before, the scouting tasks were always left to me," God-King Wuxin said, clearly delighted. "I'm skilled at escaping, but I only have one true body. If I ever encounter big trouble, I wouldn't be able to escape. Now it's great; Brother Luohe is much better at scouting than I am."
This was because the clones Luo Feng dispatched had no need to worry about escaping!
"Do the others usually not participate?" Luo Feng asked.
God-King Wuxin replied, "Fengdu and God-King of Earth are both capable of rivaling emperors and monarchs! Unless it's an incredibly major event, they won't participate. In fact, for them, we wouldn't be a help but rather a burden."
Empress Fengdu had an excellent reputation and had never fallen out with any faction. Although God-King of Earth fought fiercely with Thunder Ancient Kingdom, he always acted alone.
"The Great Freedom Venerable Lord is second only to the Lord of Myriad Realms in Myriad Realms Kingdom and is also the Lord of Myriad Realms' direct disciple. He holds a high position and doesn't particularly lack resources. He usually won't participate in general operations."
God-King Wuxin continued, "King Tiandu is also the direct disciple of Yanfeng Ancestor and likewise doesn't usually participate in general operations. As for Blackfire Demon Lord, he commands a major power, after all, and won't easily join missions."
"Only some of the most premium resources in the Origin Continent can entice those three to participate."
Wuxin chuckled, "Brother Gui, Sister Yuntian, and I usually act alone, which is why we often work together. Now we'll have Brother Luohe too." Emperor Guixu laughed heartily, "Even though Brother Luohe also commands a force, he has many clones after all."
"Our team is stronger now," Wuxin said, clearly satisfied.
"It's because Brother Guixu and Brother Wuxin are taking me along; I'm the weakest in the team," the green-robed one-eyed woman said.
Luo Feng also said, "This is my first mission, and I'm not very familiar with things, so please speak freely about anything."
"Brother Luohe is too modest," Emperor Guixu said. He greatly valued Luo Feng; to be so powerful right after becoming a God-King indicated what level he might reach in the future. He would definitely be a great help on his path to revenge.
Perhaps Luohe was currently unwilling to conflict with Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, but leveraging Luohe to acquire more resources from treasure lands and strengthen himself was also a form of cooperation.
"'Dream Domain' requires Emperor Guixu and Emperor Wuxin to fight their way in," Luo Feng understood. Emperor Guixu and Emperor Wuxin were definitely at the peak of the second level of the God-King Realm, even stronger than the Lord of Tian Kingdom. Normally, reaching this level was the limit for a second-level God-King. To advance further, to the Emperor or Monarch level...
According to known methods in the Origin Continent, one either comprehends a complete fundamental Grand Dao, like the Lord of Myriad Realms; or cultivates into an 'Ultimate Realm Lifeform,' like the emperors and monarchs of the two great ancient kingdoms, which requires immense resources; or possesses extraordinary talent, like Empress Fengdu and the Master of Mother River, who cultivate multiple Grand Dao and powerful legacies to rival that level.
"If everyone agrees, then in three days, we will gather at Huangyao Mountain," Emperor Guixu said.
