Chapter 68: Gift

Chapter Eighteen

Latest update!

Luo Feng was sitting in front of the Sky Pavilion, drinking ‘Black Marsh Fruit Wine’, which contained potent poison. Simultaneously, he was cultivating the "Great Destruction Heart Refinement Art." Only by doing so could he effectively temper his will.

"This Black Marsh Fruit Wine gets more flavorful with every sip!"

Luo Feng relished this sensation that affected his entire divine body and even his soul; after three body refinements, his divine body had become even more formidable!

Mo Qingyan respectfully reported from his flying residence, "Master, the City Lord's Mansion sent word that Marquis Jiu Jiang has dispatched an envoy who wishes to visit you!"

"An envoy from Marquis Jiu Jiang?" Luo Feng was surprised.

"Would you like to meet him, Master?" Mo Qingyan asked.

"Of course, I'll meet him. Your master isn't so arrogant as to refuse a marquis's goodwill!" Luo Feng chuckled. "Tell the City Lord's Mansion that the envoy is welcome to visit me anytime tonight."

Indeed, Luo Feng had previously rejected many such requests without exception.

Huyang City was a melting pot of various forces, and while Luo Feng truly looked down on the Eternal True Gods from these factions, many of these factions were actually branches of major powers from the Origin Continent located in Huyang City!

These forces might have Chaos Realm or even God King level beings backing them.

Therefore, Luo Feng was unwilling to get too deeply involved with these branches of major forces, as getting too deeply involved often meant losing one's autonomy.

The best approach was to maintain a distance from them from the start!

The Eternal True Gods from these branches couldn't offer any good conditions, and their affairs were often numerous. Emperor Chuyu, however, held a high enough position to offer truly valuable terms.

Luo Feng was tempted by his offer!

Of course, the prerequisite was that Emperor Chuyu's invitation would only become a reality after Luo Feng achieved the Chaos Realm through the path of laws.

Personal talent was important, but external resources were equally crucial!

Luo Feng was well aware of this; even he would not have reached his current level without the resources provided by his master, Seated Mountain Guest!

And on the Origin Continent, the most precious resources were controlled by the two great ancient kingdoms!

By utilizing the royal resources of the Blazing Wind Ancient Kingdom, he could achieve higher insights and growth, thus increasing his confidence in helping his master defeat his formidable enemy.

Mo Limeng arrived with a white-haired young man named Jiang Yuyou to visit Luo Feng. Among the five great families, Mo Limeng was the most familiar with Luo Feng.

"Please come in!" (Said from) The pavilion at the peak.

Luo Feng, Jiang Yuyou, and Mo Limeng sat down.

"Commander Jiang is one of the Marquis's four personal guard commanders, holding a position in Jiu Jiang City superior to many generals!" Mo Limeng introduced from the side.

Luo Feng nodded, "I have long heard of Commander Jiang's name in Huyang City!"

He did not wish to live under the watchful eye of a Chaos Master, but he still had a basic understanding of Jiu Jiang City's intelligence.

Jiu Jiang City's military was commanded by four personal guard commanders and sixteen generals, forming its core military strength!

Jiu Jiang City's army was much stronger than those of Huyang City or Xuyin City!

"Compared to Brother Luo He, I am far inferior!" the white-haired young man Jiang Yuyou chuckled. His strength was only comparable to Mo Lixiao's, far from reaching that of General Yong or Blood Cloud!

"In the Yu Kingdom, only a handful can compare to Brother Luo He!" Mo Limeng also flattered him.

Commander Jiang had rushed here tonight, and Luo Feng looked at him.

Jiang Yuyou said, "Brother Luo He, the news of you killing Yu Tianhu, Yu Tianyi, and Blood Cloud reached the Marquis, and he was greatly pleased. He immediately ordered me to rush to Huyang City overnight to deliver this list to you, Brother Luo He. You may choose any one item from the list!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yuyou produced a scroll, which flew to Luo Feng's front.

The scroll unrolled, and Luo Feng looked at it.

"Void Nine Refinements Secret Manual (two volumes), God King-level legacy!"

"Seven Extinction Killing Method, Chaos Realm legacy!"

Apart from the first volume of the "Void Nine Refinements Secret Manual" being a God King-level legacy, all others were Chaos Realm legacies!

Luo Feng secretly sighed with emotion.

Indeed, after all, a lineage like Duan Donghe's only had two God King-level legacies in total!

Marquis Jiu Jiang himself might have learned several God King-level legacies, but he likely could only pass on this one.

"The 'Void Nine Refinements Secret Manual,' Volume One," Luo Feng mused to himself, "just by its name, I can guess it's a 'Void Origin Great Dao' technique, which isn't very suitable for me!"

Luo Feng, who possessed two lineages of inheritances, was well aware of this!

A Chaos Master, who controls the path of Chaos Laws, must comprehend the Origin Great Dao contained within higher rules if they wish to become a God King. For example, Jie Zun Moluosha, who was born with the origin of destruction, naturally did not delve deeply into the Void lineage, nor did he intend to learn two inheritances.

"Brother Luo, you may choose any one of them. Each is extremely valuable, especially the two volumes of the 'Void Nine Refinements Secret Manual,' which is a God King-level legacy—something rarely encountered and highly sought after!" Jiang Yuyou said. "The Marquis highly values Brother Luo He and is willing to spare no effort in cultivating you! If you don't choose any of these legacies, you may also choose ten million universe sands!"

Luo Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Then I'll take ten million universe sands!"

Jiang Yuyou paused slightly.

Not choosing a God King-level legacy—it was indeed as the Marquis had guessed: such a powerful Eternal True God must already possess a formidable inheritance!

"Alright, the Marquis will directly transfer ten million universe sands to your name through the Blazing Wind Pavilion!" Jiang Yuyou said.

"Please thank the Marquis for me!" Luo Feng said.

"The Marquis even personally contacted the Lord of the Kingdom to speak about you!" Jiang Yuyou said. "The Lord of the Kingdom is also delighted that our Yu Kingdom has such a talent as Brother Luo He. The Lord of the Kingdom said that it won't be long before an opportunity arises, and at that time, he will dispatch an envoy to deliver it to Brother Luo He."

Luo Feng immediately stood up, "Please thank the Marquis for me, and also thank the Lord of the Kingdom."

If it hadn't been for Marquis Jiu Jiang's initiative in addressing these conflicts involving Eternal True Gods, the news might have taken longer to reach the Lord of the Kingdom.

Marquis Jiu Jiang personally reported to the Lord of the Kingdom, so this matter certainly required his gratitude.

Thanks to the Marquis, and thanks to the Lord of the Kingdom!

Luo Feng could not remain sitting there, calm and collected, in the face of a God King's goodwill!

"Brother Luo He has contributed so much to Huyang City; it's only right that you receive these rewards! The Marquis has always been like this; he never treats anyone who renders meritorious service unfairly!" Jiang Yuyou said. "However, Marquis Liuyin of the Shi Kingdom probably won't give up easily. If Huyang City encounters trouble again, we might still need Brother Luo He's help!"

Luo Feng chuckled, "How much can I influence with my own strength? Ultimately, it's still primarily up to the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Brother Luo He, please rest assured about some of the conflicts between the Shi Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom. Chaos Realm experts will not bully those of lower realms in battles between Eternal True Gods!" Jiang Yuyou said. "Otherwise, if both sides were to bully the weaker, the world would have long since been destroyed!"

"I understand!" Luo Feng nodded.

This was not just a rule between the Yu Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom; it was a default rule across the entire Origin Continent!

An Eternal True God who doesn't actively provoke a non-Chaos Master won't attack the weaker for the sake of reputation. However, if someone like Ying Cang kills a Chaos Master's offspring, it's normal for the enraged Chaos Master to personally intervene!

Or, if Chaos Masters were fighting among themselves, a Chaos Master would naturally do anything to survive.

Slaughtering innocents to force the opponent to stop, or swallowing a large city whole to restore divine power—in the face of survival, no reputation was worth mentioning!

With the ten million universe sands from Marquis Jiu Jiang, Luo Feng felt somewhat more financially comfortable. Five days later, the 'Calamity Beast Scroll' he had purchased arrived!

"Vice Manager!" Luo Feng greeted him politely.

The Vice Manager, whose body was composed of gray mist, walked in and handed a starlit scroll to Luo Feng. "Luo He, this is the Calamity Beast Scroll. Since you dared to buy it, you should already have some understanding of how to comprehend it!"

"Yes!" Luo Feng nodded. As someone with a renowned reputation, he knew that both lineages of inheritances he possessed had detailed descriptions of such rare treasures for will cultivation.

Furthermore, having reached the peak will of the Chaos Realm, the danger of comprehending it was already very low!

"The Calamity Beast Scroll was personally drawn by an Emperor of our Blazing Wind Ancient Kingdom. Royal descendants are very knowledgeable about how to comprehend the Calamity Beast Scroll," the Vice Manager chuckled. "The secret method for comprehension usually only circulates among the great clans of the Blazing Wind Ancient Kingdom and is not easily spread outside."

"This is a Void Scroll that complements the Calamity Beast Scroll. Combining the two scrolls with the secret comprehension method yields the best results for will cultivation!" The Vice Manager flipped his hand and produced another scroll, a Void Scroll.

Even when rolled up, the Void Scroll seemed to contain infinite space-time!

"This Void Scroll..." Luo Feng was surprised.

"Only royal descendants can apply to purchase a Void Scroll! The Manager bought it for you, and it was quite cheap, only a million universe sands!" the Vice Manager chuckled. "Its true utility is only revealed when you use it with the secret method of comprehension!"

Luo Feng's communication token also received a copy of the secret method!

"The Void Scroll and the secret comprehension method are gifts from the Manager!" the Vice Manager said.

"Please thank the Manager for me," Luo Feng said, very grateful. The Calamity Beast Scroll was not restricted from external sales, but its accompanying Void Scroll could only be applied for by royal descendants, greatly limiting its dissemination.

This world, after all, still depended on strength!

As he displayed sufficient strength, both the Yu Kingdom and the royal descendants of the Blazing Wind Ancient Kingdom extended an olive branch to him.

After the Vice Manager left, Luo Feng immediately entered secluded cultivation within the Star Tower to comprehend the 'Calamity Beast Scroll'!

The Calamity Beast Scroll and the Void Scroll floated simultaneously in the air, with the Void Scroll perfectly overlaying the Calamity Beast Scroll.

"According to my previous information, comprehending the Calamity Beast Scroll should start from a small point at the edge, gradually expanding the scope of comprehension until the entire scroll is fully viewed!" Luo Feng thought as he looked at the Calamity Beast Scroll before him.

However, the method of the Blazing Wind Ancient Kingdom's royal family was to use the Void Scroll to overlay the Calamity Beast Scroll, causing the Calamity Beast Scroll to be reflected across three thousand void layers, with each layer displaying a different image.

"Comprehending the complete 'Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Scroll' before comprehending the entire Calamity Beast Scroll yields a much stronger effect!"

Luo Feng observed the image reflected on the outermost, first layer of the Void Scroll!

The image on the first layer depicted a ferocious and terrifying exotic beast undergoing countless calamities. Each trial transformed the beast.

After enduring myriad tribulations, this ferocious and terrifying exotic beast became dazzling and resplendent, even radiating immense light—a light of the soul that illuminated Luo Feng's mind!

Even this first layer alone required a Chaos Realm will to withstand!

As Luo Feng observed, it was as if he himself had transformed into the exotic beast, enduring the calamities!

However, the Calamity Beast Scroll, being a mere drawing, was inherently far from real calamities. Furthermore, after being reflected through the three thousand layers of the Void Scroll, it was billions of times weaker than an actual calamity. By the time it reached Luo Feng's mind, it was already very faint, only allowing him to experience a brief sensation. By the time he finished experiencing the first layer, it was already dawn outside.

"This is the fundamental artistic conception of the Calamity Beast Scroll, which it made me understand in advance," Luo Feng thought. He immediately began to comprehend the image reflected in the second void layer of the Void Scroll. This layer's image, however, was enveloped in endless deathly intent!

The Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Scroll allowed for understanding the Calamity Beast Scroll from various angles!

First layer: The Fundamental Artistic Conception Layer!

Second layer: The Despair Layer of Endless Deathly Intent!

Third layer: The Calm Nightmare Layer!

Fortunately, Luo Feng's own spiritual will was powerful, allowing him to instinctively immerse himself and comprehend each layer. He felt as if he had transformed into the calamity beast, undergoing the trials of each layer!
