Chapter 227: Di Chu Yu and Mo Yu Qing Yan

With the departure of Dark Lord of Heaven, only Luo Feng's five avatars remained above the capital of the Food Kingdom.

“No one is contending now.”

Luo Feng's world power enveloped the entire territory of the Food Kingdom, and he detected no other powerful cultivators infiltrating.

“The strength I displayed this time was just right! It wasn't as threatening as Earth God-King or Mother River Master, but emperors and monarchs will have to think twice before trying to deal with me!”

Luo Feng pondered.

If Luo Feng had been at the ultimate God-King will realm, wielding the 'Twenty-Four Manifestations' with five avatars, this level of power would have been his limit, indeed making it impossible to rival emperors or monarchs.

“It's time to take over the entire territory of the Food Kingdom.”

Luo Feng also knew that taking over and managing such a vast territory would not be an easy task.

Fortunately, over a long period, the Dao River Sect had cultivated a large number of disciples.

Now, these disciples were needed to manage the vast territory.

Whoosh! Luo Feng's five avatars also vanished.

***

Chudu.

Marquis Chuyu hosted a grand banquet, attended by many marquises, retainers, and God-King disciples from the Imperial Chu lineage.

“Brother Luo He is my sworn brother,” Marquis Chuyu said, sitting in the main seat and raising his wine cup, filled with emotion. “He and I started from humble beginnings. Back then, in Huyang City, I was an Eternal True God, and so was he! Later, we both came to Chudu, and my very first retainer was Brother Luo He...”

Marquis Chuyu boasted.

The surrounding marquises, retainers, and God-King disciples also lavished praise.

“This is destiny!”

“God-King Luo He is truly extraordinary! He was the undisputed number one transcendent in the Chaos Realm, then the strongest invincible in the first tier of the God-King realm! Now, even a single avatar of his is enough to rival the Dark Lord of Heaven, one of the six lords of the Destruction Legion...”

“Such boundless talent truly makes us envious.”

All the Chaos Realm cultivators present, whether royal marquises or retainers, were immensely envious.

Perhaps some powerful God-Kings from the imperial family could still maintain their arrogance in front of Luo Feng!

But these royal marquises had lost all arrogance and regarded him with absolute reverence!

After all, the current 'God-King Luo He' was only one step away from emperors and monarchs.

Of course, this step was like an uncrossable chasm!

“Brother Luo He is Brother Luo He, and I am me,” Marquis Chuyu sighed. “I can't even comprehend a branch of the Grand Dao; I'm filled with endless confusion.”

“Brother Chuyu, your cultivation time is still short. I believe you will surely become a God-King in the future.”

Guest after guest praised him.

Currently, Marquis Chuyu was widely renowned among the many marquises of the thirteen imperial lineages!

After all, he had a good brother, 'God-King Luo He,' and even some ordinary God-Kings from the imperial family dared not neglect him.

While powerful God-Kings of the imperial family possessed arrogance, ordinary God-Kings were long stuck in the first tier of the God-King realm. The imperial family itself did not value these ordinary God-Kings and provided them with fewer resources!

These ordinary God-Kings were still hoping to befriend Luo He!

“God-King, Imperial Chuyu is currently hosting guests. Luo He's single avatar being able to rival 'Dark Lord of Heaven,' one of the six lords of the Destruction Legion, has certainly brought Imperial Chuyu many benefits.”

A tall, slender old man said, “Speaking of which, God-King, you also have a connection with Luo He. You helped him secure a retainer position back then.”

God-King Chuying smiled.

Giving Luo He a retainer position back then was, in Marquis Chuying's opinion, the most 'brilliant' decision.

Luo Feng, therefore, owed God-King Chuying a significant favor.

The stronger Luo Feng became, the more valuable this favor would be!

“Given Brother Luo He's growth rate, he might reach even greater heights in the future.”

God-King Chuying said, knowing his own limitations. It had taken him an incredibly long time to become a God-King, and the path ahead would only be more difficult.

Therefore, he needed assistance!

The imperial family had strict rules, and each God-King had a corresponding resource quota.

As for the thirteen emperors, with the exception of Emperor Qing, all the others owed the imperial family an immense amount of wealth.

It was simply impossible for them to help God-King Chuying much.

“This favor must be kept, and the longer it's kept, the better.”

God-King Chuying was also patient. He naturally intended to use the imperial family's resources to improve himself as much as possible.

Only when he could advance no further and was completely stuck at a bottleneck would he seek external help.

***

Liuyu City, inside the royal palace.

God-King Liuyu was the only one of the five God-Kings of the former Food Kingdom who had not fled. She waited, feeling somewhat uneasy.

“Hmm?”

God-King Liuyu suddenly saw an invisible force gathering, forming Luo Feng's figure, who was calmly looking at her.

With the entire territory of the Food Kingdom now enveloped by his world power, Luo Feng could naturally condense an avatar with a single thought.

“Liuyu greets God-King Luo He.”

God-King Liuyu bowed with extreme reverence.

“God-King Kufeng migrated his clan and fled. Yet you remained here and didn't leave.”

Luo Feng looked at her.

God-King Liuyu said helplessly, “My clan has prospered for countless ages, deeply rooted in this land; it's too difficult to migrate them. That's why I led my entire nation to join the Food Kingdom back then. This time, I also hope God-King Luo He will take us in. I am willing to serve God-King Luo He.”

Luo Feng understood clearly.

God-King Liuyu's clan had a history so ancient it could rival the 'Jin Kingdom' of Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest. This vast clan was not only spread across many large cities but also resided in numerous wilderness tribes.

A ruthless person would simply relocate the clan's elite.

But God-King Liuyu cared deeply about her entire clan.

Whether choosing to join the Food Kingdom previously or now offering to serve Luo Feng, it was all for the sake of her clan.

“Very well. However, your fiefdom will only consist of five Chaos States.”

Luo Feng looked at her.

Luo Feng himself had numerous avatars, and his world power could envelop the entire territory with a single thought. Whether he had God-Kings under his command was not important to him.

God-King Liuyu paused slightly, then respectfully replied, “Yes, I am willing to reduce my fiefdom to five Chaos States. But I hope that the countless beings within the original Liuyu Kingdom will be spared from large-scale capture.”

“I am not like the Sky鲲 Kingdom Lord, who needs to consume countless beings,” Luo Feng said, looking at her. “In all territories under my rule, large-scale capture of living beings is strictly prohibited.”

Normal battles and killings among cultivators, or even the extermination of some wilderness tribes, Luo Feng would not concern himself with.

However, practices like that of the 'Sky鲲 Kingdom Lord,' who regularly captured trillions of beings for food, were different.

Luo Feng naturally strictly forbade such acts.

“God-King Luo He is merciful.”

“You will coordinate with Yuan, Moluosa, and Xinyu to oversee the reception of the entire Food Kingdom territory.” Luo Feng waved his hand, and twenty names appeared before him. “These twenty Chaos Realm cultivators, if they are willing, may continue to govern their original fiefdoms. All other Chaos Realm cultivators shall be expelled.”

Luo Feng had vetted the Chaos Realm cultivators of the Food Kingdom and found that only twenty were barely suitable for recruitment.

The other Chaos Realm cultivators had long followed the three lords of the Food Kingdom, and their conduct was similar.

Luo Feng knew they were merely following orders, but he still had no desire to accept them.

“Yes.”

God-King Liuyu respectfully accepted the order.

Taking over the entire territory of the Food Kingdom involved many aspects.

The handover of various cities and assets, places where natural treasures were nurtured, numerous mineral deposits in the wilderness, and industries like artifact refining and alchemy — the transition involved too much.

The entire handover process was primarily led by Yuan and Moluosa, supported by second disciple Xinyu and God-King Liuyu!

A large number of Dao River Sect disciples were specifically tasked with carrying out these duties!

At the same time, Luo Feng's world power enveloped the entire territory, also assisting them in completing the handover.

Because of the enveloping world power, all actions of forces, large and small, within the territory could not escape Luo Feng's notice.

Initially, some greedy individuals attempted to take away a large amount of treasures and resources. After Luo Feng severely punished them, even eliminating three Chaos Realm cultivators, they immediately became much more compliant.

Of course, Luo Feng only destroyed the true bodies of the Chaos Realm cultivators, seized all their treasures, and expelled them from the territory, but did not completely kill them!

However, such punishment still intimidated the various forces within the territory, large and small, making the subsequent takeover much smoother.

“Master, the takeover is largely complete, but there were still considerable losses during the handover process.”

Moluosa reported respectfully.

“Losses?” Luo Feng looked at him.

“When those Chaos Realm cultivators were expelled, they took their families and core subordinates with them.”

Moluosa reported, “Their families were previously responsible for many industries. With so many core personnel suddenly gone, many industries became unmanageable. This was an unavoidable loss.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Previously, the elites of many cities were direct subordinates of Chaos Realm cultivators, or even family members.

Now that they were all expelled, the impact was indeed significant.

“The impact is temporary,” Luo Feng said. “Once the takeover is properly handled, you and Yuan should discuss and prepare for the Dao River Sect's next large-scale disciple recruitment! This time, the scale will be at least ten times larger than before.”

“Such a massive scale?” Moluosa's eyes lit up.

“The countless citizens of the Food Kingdom's 135 Chaos States have endured much suffering over a long period. This large-scale disciple recruitment can be considered a great opportunity for cultivators.”

Luo Feng stated.

Moluosa nodded.

As the master and disciple conversed, they suddenly turned their heads simultaneously towards the direction of the Dao River Sect's encampment.

“Qingyan has broken through?” Moluosa showed a surprised expression.

“He actually broke through, faster than I expected.”

Luo Feng also smiled.

***

Dao River Sect, inside Moyu Qingyan's quiet chamber within his cave dwelling.

Moyu Qingyan had always yearned to break through!

He had followed Luo Feng since his arrival on the Origin Continent, receiving meticulous guidance from Moluosa and later also insights from Yuan!

As Luo Feng's status grew higher and higher, Moyu Qingyan, as his only direct disciple, also received the best resources.

Moluosa even secretly gave some of the resources he could obtain to Moyu Qingyan.

“Junior Brother Xinyu has broken through and become a Chaos Realm cultivator.”

“Master has also taken on a group of registered disciples, many of whom have greater talent than me.”

As the eldest senior brother of the entire Dao River Sect, Moyu Qingyan naturally felt immense pressure.

The only thing he could do was dedicate himself even more! He sought advice from Yuan! He sought advice from his second master, Moluosa! He even brazenly sought advice from his master, Luo He!

His master rarely guided him, but each time he did, Moyu Qingyan would return and painstakingly study every word his master had said, pondering it hundreds, even thousands of times.

“Me?” Moyu Qingyan felt the transformation of the bloodline within him. Although he didn't fully understand it at that moment, he could still control the laws of chaos.

“I've broken through. My bloodline has transformed.”

Tears welled up in Moyu Qingyan's excited eyes.

Finally, he had finally broken through.

He was the second disciple under his master to achieve the Chaos Realm! Although it was only through the bloodline path that he reached the Chaos Realm!
