Chapter 66: Liuyin Marquis

On the vast Origin Continent, countless powers exist, but only those capable of establishing a God Nation are truly remarkable.

Among these numerous nations, some are strong and some are weak. For example, the Yu Nation and the Shi Nation are considered second-tier nations, significantly stronger than the Jin Nation, which was established by Sitting Mountain Guest. The Jin Nation is truly a small, peripheral state.

The legendary Tianmu Nation, said to possess a World Beast, has strength far exceeding that of nations like the Shi Nation and the Yu Nation, truly classifying it as a first-tier nation.

However, the Yanfeng Ancient Nation and the Thunder Ancient Nation stand above all others.

"According to the information passed down through our heritage, the most powerful entity within the Yanfeng Ancient Nation is the Imperial Family. Competition within the Imperial Family is extremely fierce, as it's divided into thirteen branches, each with the right to contend for the throne! The Di Chu lineage is one of these thirteen branches." Luo Feng finally understood the impressive background of this Yanfeng Pavilion Master.

"I never expected to meet Your Highness Chu Yu in this remote town!" Luo Feng said courteously.

"I'm not qualified to be called 'Your Highness'; I'm merely an Eternal True God. Just call me Chu Yu!" Chu Yu said with a smile.

While other imperial family members typically maintain a grand facade when out, he held his kin in disdain.

In Chu Yu's eyes, anyone lacking sufficient strength was merely a waste within the imperial family.

The reason the Imperial Family allows thirteen branches to compete is precisely because there are too many incompetents.

When wandering outside, Chu Yu typically avoided revealing his true identity. After all, anyone with a bit of knowledge would deduce a connection to the Di Chu lineage from his name.

He usually goes by the name Chu Yu.

"Brother Luo He, your ability to slay Blood Cloud clearly indicates that your divine body, cultivation realm, and willpower have all reached extremely high levels. Few within the Yu Nation can compare to you," Chu Yu said with a smile.

"If you can comprehend the Chaos Law and become a Chaos Master in the future, I can help introduce you. While I can't guarantee anything else, becoming a guest elder of my Di Chu lineage won't be difficult."

"Introduce me to the Di Chu lineage within the Yanfeng Ancient Nation?" Luo Feng couldn't help but exclaim. "Brother Chu Yu, you think so highly of me? The more I learn, the more I realize how incredibly stringent the two ancient nations' imperial families are when recruiting guest elders."

Even my master, Sitting Mountain Guest, desired to enter the core of the two ancient nations, but neither would acknowledge his presence. To them, an ordinary God King holds no significance for an ancient nation.

"Even if you become a Chaos Master through the path of Laws, my Di Chu lineage wouldn't ordinarily recruit you. However, I am willing to recruit you!" Chu Yu looked at Luo Feng. "I don't care about your strength; I care about your character! I've observed you clearly during the more than twenty epochs you've spent in Huyang City. You show compassion for the weak and abhor evil. In your anger over your friend Shang Tianyan's fate, you relentlessly pursued Yu Tianxu, Yu Tianyi, and Blood Cloud." Chu Yu smiled, adding, "You are inherently 'loyal and righteous,' so naturally, I am willing to befriend you! On the Origin Continent today, many powerful individuals possess great talent but are selfish and ruthless; you never know when they might betray you."

Luo Feng understood.

It turned out that everything he had done was what earned him the admiration of this imperial family member from the Yanfeng Ancient Nation.

"Of course, the prerequisite for my recommendation is that I myself must first become a Chaos Master; only then will I be qualified to recommend guest elders! And naturally, you must also reach the Chaos Realm through the Law lineage, which is already the minimum threshold for recruiting guest elders," Chu Yu explained.

The Vice Pavilion Master beside them smiled and added, "Luo He, you must remember not to fully pledge your allegiance to the Yu Nation. Otherwise, it might be difficult to leave later. Such a remote, small nation like the Yu Nation simply offers too few opportunities!"

"The Lord of the Yu Nation is merely a guest elder of my Yanfeng Ancient Nation," Chu Yu stated. "Some remote, minor nations don't have access to the true secrets of the Origin Continent, and they certainly can't dream of top-tier resources."

"Even the Lord of the Shi Nation, merely because of his culinary skills, garnered the favor of the Yanfeng Ancient Nation's upper echelons, which is why he achieved such immense gains!" Luo Feng was secretly astonished.

The Pavilion Master also confirmed this.

So, the Shi Nation's Lord's culinary talent earned him the favor of the Yanfeng Ancient Nation's high-ranking officials; there was actually this kind of relationship.

His own collected intelligence had no record of this; today's brief remarks clarified everything.

"Let's discuss it further once both of us have reached the Chaos Realm through the Law lineage," Chu Yu said.

"Thank you, Brother Chu Yu!"

Luo Feng was very grateful to him. Soon after, Luo Feng bid farewell and departed.

"You're recruiting Luo He so soon?" the Vice Pavilion Master chuckled.

"Once I reach the Chaos Realm and receive cultivation from my clan, it will be too late to recruit!" Chu Yu explained. "While I'm still relatively free, I should find a few more suitable helpers."

"It seems you're quite confident!" the Vice Pavilion Master remarked.

"Having fully comprehended the nine Chaos Realm techniques recorded in the secret tome, and with these nine techniques complementing each other, I feel very close to grasping the complete Chaos Law!" Chu Yu declared.

The Vice Pavilion Master was overjoyed: "A Chaos Master with an infinite divine body from the Law lineage, hahaha! Once you succeed, the clan will pour massive resources into your development! I can't believe my decision to help you was so incredibly right."

While many on the Origin Continent possess infinite divine bodies and become Chaos Masters through the Law lineage, the two ancient nations generally pay them no mind. However, if such a genius emerges within their own imperial family, it's an entirely different matter; they will naturally provide full support for cultivation.

"Uncle, you've helped me immensely; I've taken it all to heart!" Chu Yu said.

Chaos Armor Cave Mansion No. 913.

Moyu Qingyan was waiting there alone.

"Yu Tianxu, Yu Tianyi, and even Blood Cloud have been killed. I heard my father say it's highly probable the Master was responsible." As Moyu Qingyan considered that his master hadn't returned all night, he found this possibility quite strong.

"The bounty for Blood Cloud Divine Lord was a full ten million units of Universe Sand. Within Huyang City, even the City Lord's Mansion was powerless against him, yet the Master could kill him..."

Moyu Qingyan found himself lost in thought within the cave mansion. Throughout his years accompanying his master, he had only ever felt that his master was unfathomable.

The main gate of the cave mansion suddenly opened, and a flying boat entered. Luo Feng and Morosa emerged.

"Master!"

Moyu Qingyan immediately came forward to greet them. "Many guests will be visiting me soon," Luo Feng said. "Apart from a very select few important guests, refuse all others."

"Yes, Master!" Having followed him for so long, Moyu Qingyan naturally knew perfectly well who the important guests were. Moreover, from his master's words, Moyu Qingyan realized that his master was indeed the likely killer of Blood Cloud.

"Stop guessing; Yu Tianxu, Yu Tianyi, and Blood Cloud were all killed by the Master!" Morosa stated directly. "This news will spread throughout the city soon enough!" Luo Feng nodded.

He had ruthlessly killed several Shi Nation powerhouses; they must have sent messages before their deaths. Furthermore, the City Lord's Mansion also knew he was responsible for the attacks.

With so many aware, the information was destined to spread rapidly and could not be kept secret for long.

"The Master is incredible!" Moyu Qingyan felt a surge of pride.

"You brat, cultivate properly! You haven't even mastered the ten basic laws yet!" Morosa urged. "I personally taught you; you're truly making me lose face!"

"I will certainly apply myself," Moyu Qingyan immediately replied.

"Morosa and I will be entering seclusion," Luo Feng stated, then led Morosa to the underground hall.

Inside the underground hall!

First, he released the Star Tower, and both Luo Feng and Morosa entered its core.

"All your food is here for you!" Luo Feng placed all the Eternal True God corpses within one layer of the Star Tower's space. "Go and digest them at your leisure!"

"Thank you, Master! I have a premonition that my strength will increase significantly this time, perhaps even allowing me to reach the Chaos Realm!" Morosa was very excited.

Among the various food sources this time, the first was Yu Tianxu's corpse. Yu Tianxu possessed an extraordinary bloodline, and his divine body cultivation involved the 'Infinite Divine Body' technique. The benefits derived from such a divine body far surpassed those from ordinary divine bodies.

Blood Cloud's corpse, furthermore, held an even greater appeal for Morosa than Yu Tianxu's! This was indeed an unprecedented feast.

Morosa immediately entered his exclusive layer within the Star Tower to begin enjoying the feast.

"Morosa's strength is increasing quickly; he might even reach the Chaos Realm before me!" Luo Feng mused.

There was no other way; any normal cultivator aspiring to comprehend the Chaos Law had to accumulate understanding gradually. Even Chu Yu, from the Yanfeng Ancient Nation's imperial family, had traversed the Origin Continent, cultivating arduously for countless years.

Comparing cultivation speed to Morosa was indeed asking for trouble.

"My willpower accumulation should be sufficient!" Luo Feng thought.

When he was still a True God, his mental will had already reached the peak of a Chaos Master. Later, he quickly broke through from True God to Eternal True God.

His divine body was much stronger, and his soul was significantly more powerful. Although it's said that a weak soul can still possess strong willpower, the soul is ultimately the vessel for willpower.

The weaker the soul, the more difficult it is to enhance one's willpower.

"My soul is now far stronger than when I was a True God, and I've also cultivated the 'Great Destruction Mind Refinement Method' and the 'Seven Emotions Mind Refinement Method' from the *Lieyuan Art* for over twenty epochs. I've felt a slow, continuous improvement, but there hasn't been a qualitative leap."

The fundamental transformation of willpower from the Chaos Realm to the God King realm is indeed extremely challenging.

"The resources I've acquired this time are ample. I'll allocate them to willpower cultivation and purchase some treasures!" Luo Feng decided inwardly. This time, the bounty combined with numerous spoils of war amounted to nearly 30 million units of Universe Sand!

Including Brother Shang's gifts, the cumulative total exceeded 30 million units of Universe Sand!

He needed to convert these resources into strength. Being so wealthy, he naturally had to accelerate his cultivation pace.

Inside a hidden hall on the Liuyin Chaos Continent of the Shi Nation.

A figure clad in dark red armor sat there, his eyes like two burning crimson flames, radiating an aura of dark calamity. "Yu Tianxu, Yu Tianyi, and even Blood Cloud are dead," Marquis Liuyin murmured softly. "This Luo He was a friend of Shang Tianyan. The moment Shang Tianyan died, he embarked on a relentless pursuit."

"Such a disposition, where he abhors evil, makes him difficult to control!" Marquis Liuyin realized.

He reached out and touched a crystal sphere before him.

This crystal sphere was a complete universe personally created by a God King, its internal space spanning over a trillion light-years in diameter, where countless sentient beings multiplied, survived, and cultivated.

He cherished this crystal sphere; the universe within it had cultivated several subordinates for him, including hundreds of Eternal True Gods to date, but these were minor achievements.

What he relished most was the sensation of controlling the entire evolutionary process of a universe, governing the survival of countless sentient species. This cultivation of mental will was, in fact, a form of mental and spiritual practice.

With Luo He now in Huyang City, his original plans were no longer suitable. So be it.

Marquis Liuyin decided that some resources in Huyang City would be handled by the Xinying Sect.
