Inside the flying ship, the terrified Mo Yu Tiger dared not hesitate. He immediately flew out and knelt down upon landing, saying with utmost respect, “Mo Yu Tiger pays his respects to the Venerable One.”
Mo Yu Tiger was filled with fear and unease. He had obtained a treasure after countless hardships, and he feared this terrifying being would kill him to seize it! He did not want to die. If he died, his three children would face incredible hardship in Hu Yang City.
“I ask you, which Chaos Prefecture is this?” Luo Feng asked.
Mo Yu Tiger was taken aback upon hearing this.
Was he just asking for directions?
“Reporting to the Venerable One,” Mo Yu Tiger hurriedly and respectfully replied, “This is the Nine Ginger Chaos Prefecture of the Yu Kingdom.”
“Yu Kingdom?” Luo Feng nodded slightly.
There were many forces on the Origin Continent. A city, a tribe, or even a hidden sect could be a power in its own right.
But to be qualified to build a Divine Kingdom, one needed to be at least a Godking-level existence.
His master, Sitting Mountain Guest, had once created the Jin Kingdom with only himself as a Godking. The Yu Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom were much stronger. The Shi Kingdom originally had three Godkings, while the Yu Kingdom had five.
“The Shi Kingdom and Yu Kingdom are adjacent. Fortunately, coming through the Cycle brought me to the Yu Kingdom,” Luo Feng thought. “If I had arrived in the Shi Kingdom, that would have been troublesome.”
He had obtained the *Nine Calamity Secret Manual* and the Star Tower because of his master, Sitting Mountain Guest. He had also received the inheritance of the Jin World lineage and the *Liew Yuan Art*.
His master’s kindness was too great.
If he became a Godking in the future, he would definitely stand on his master’s side! While he was still weak, he naturally needed to stay far away from the three rulers of the Shi Kingdom.
“I remember, the Nine Ginger Chaos Prefecture should have three large cities,” Luo Feng asked.
“Yes,” Mo Yu Tiger immediately said. “The Nine Ginger Chaos Prefecture is vast and boundless, with three large cities and one hundred and eighty-nine ordinary cities. The three large cities are Nine Ginger City, Hu Yang City, and Xu Yin City.”
Luo Feng nodded. “The Nine Ginger Chaos Prefecture, is it the fiefdom of the Chaos Great Saint ‘Nine Ginger Marquis’?”
On the Origin Continent, Eternal True Gods were at most granted the royal surname and generally served as generals commanding a region or as core members governing cities. They belonged to the elite of the Divine Kingdom.
Chaos Dominators, on the other hand, were ennobled as Marquises! Their status was much higher! They even required a Chaos Prefecture to be granted as a fiefdom. If the relationship soured, the Chaos Dominator could simply leave and join another kingdom.
“Nine Ginger Marquis resides in Nine Ginger City,” Mo Yu Tiger immediately said. “So, of the three large cities, Nine Ginger City has the strictest rules! Xu Yin City has the most conflicts and wars due to the mines and frequent clashes between various forces. Hu Yang City is located near the Yu Kingdom’s border, and neighboring countries also have branches there, making it the most developed in terms of trade. This humble one also resides in Hu Yang City.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
“I need to cultivate and require a stable environment and suitable resources,” Luo Feng thought. “Nine Ginger City has a Chaos Dominator. There’s no need for me to cultivate under his nose.”
“Xu Yin City has too many conflicts.”
“Hu Yang City has developed trade and intelligence, making it easier to purchase resources. It’s suitable for me to reside there temporarily.” Luo Feng quickly made a decision. When his strength was weak, he needed to be cautious.
Luo Feng looked at the respectful Mo Yu Tiger and instructed, “I want to go to Hu Yang City. You will help lead the way.”
“Yes,” Mo Yu Tiger felt a wave of relief and excitement.
Lead the way?
Then he wouldn’t be killed!
“Hu Yang City is in that direction,” Mo Yu Tiger immediately pointed the way.
“Let’s go.” With a thought, Luo Feng and Moro Sa, along with Mo Yu Tiger, soared through space.
Mo Yu Tiger only felt an invisible force enveloping him, and the surrounding space warped. The three figures traversed space with each passing moment, hundreds of times faster than he could with his flying ship.
“Venerable One, we still need to be careful on the journey. There are many dangerous places along the way,” Mo Yu Tiger hurriedly said.
“Are there Chaos-level alien beasts lurking along this route?” Luo Feng asked calmly.
“Of course not! The entire Nine Ginger Chaos Prefecture only has one Chaos-level alien beast, ‘Chao Yong’, which resides in the depths of Chao Yong Lake. There are no other Chaos-level alien beasts elsewhere,” Mo Yu Tiger said.
Luo Feng nodded. “Then there’s nothing to worry about.”
Luo Feng led Moro Sa and Mo Yu Tiger, traversing through the void in a straight line at super high speed towards Hu Yang City.
“Nothing to worry about if there are no Chaos-level alien beasts?” Mo Yu Tiger trembled upon hearing this.
“Venerable One, if we don’t avoid the routes, we might pass through the lairs of Eternal True God-level alien beasts,” Mo Yu Tiger couldn’t help but say.
Luo Feng only glanced at him without saying much.
Eternal True God-level alien beasts?
He had arrived on the Origin Continent penniless! He was waiting for Eternal True God-level alien beasts to attack so he could slaughter one or two. The scales, bones, blood, and essence of those alien beasts could be sold for money, or traded for the resources he desired.
“I do have a few extremely precious items, the Godking-level weapon ‘Star Tower’, the Godking-level sword embryo ‘Blood Shadow Blade’, and the Eternal True God-level mechanical treasure ‘Wu-Slaying Wings’, but I can’t sell them,” Luo Feng thought. “I’m indeed a bit poor right now.”
The Wu-Slaying Wings, as a mechanical treasure, were currently the most helpful to Luo Feng! The other two were temporarily of limited help, but as Luo Feng grew stronger, the importance of the Star Tower and Blood Shadow Blade would become increasingly apparent.
“The alien beasts on the Origin Continent are deliberately allowed to roam free by the Godkings, according to my master Sitting Mountain Guest’s information,” Luo Feng thought. “They allow the alien beasts to reproduce and occupy most of the Origin Continent’s territory.”
“The cultivators of the myriad races slaughter the alien beasts and collect their body materials as cultivation resources.”
“And the Godking-level alien beasts are generally raised in captivity. It’s impossible to encounter them outside… Whenever a Godking-level alien beast appears outside… it will be quickly captured and taken away by that group of Godkings.” Luo Feng was very clear about this.
Alien beasts posed a great threat to weaker True Gods.
But to truly powerful beings, they were just living cultivation resources.
“Alien beasts have low intelligence, but the most elite among them can possess Godking-level strength based on their bloodline alone,” Luo Feng marveled. “Why is their bloodline so powerful?”
According to the information he had gathered, every Godking-level alien beast was a treasure of the heavens and earth, raised by truly powerful forces. The bloodline essence of those Godking-level alien beasts was a treasure that even the Third Patriarchs and his master, Sitting Mountain Guest, couldn’t touch.
“For the weak, the alien beasts scattered across the Origin Continent are a threat,” Luo Feng thought. “But when one’s strength reaches a certain level, the alien beasts are merely prey.” “These alien beasts have low intelligence. What poses a greater threat to me on the Origin Continent are those cultivators of the myriad races.” Luo Feng was very clear about this.
The geniuses from the three thousand primal universes who came to the Cycle generation after generation.
The massive number of beings born on the Origin Continent itself, and the beings born from numerous small universes – from this vast population, many elites naturally emerged.
Having experienced endless years, the cultivators of the myriad races were filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
A lineage like the ‘River of Breaking East’ was considered a very weak lineage in the entire Origin Continent. His master, Sitting Mountain Guest, was also considered to be on the weaker side among Godkings.
Even the Tianmu Kingdom, which controlled a peak world beast, was not considered the most terrifying force on the Origin Continent.
“For me, what’s needed now is to lie low cautiously and make myself stronger. Only then will I be qualified to learn more secrets of the Origin Continent.” Luo Feng was very clear about this. He could even put his master Sitting Mountain Guest’s revenge aside for now.
Without becoming a Godking, he simply wasn’t qualified to get involved.

Surrounding the primal universe were small universes, the largest of which was undoubtedly Luo Feng’s small universe, with a diameter of one hundred billion light-years.
Luo Feng’s small universe was absorbing chaos energy and converting it into divine power at maximum efficiency, transferring it to Luo Feng’s True God heart to help his divine body grow. Luo Feng had become an Eternal True God for too short a time, and his divine body had not yet reached its ultimate state.
Inside Luo Feng’s small universe.
!
Under a large tree.
Luo Feng and Primal Ancestor sat facing each other, drinking fruit wine. Both of them were only divine power incarnations.
“It was only after you told me that I learned that the other end of the Cycle passage is actually the Origin Continent,” Primal Ancestor said with emotion. They had both ventured through the Cycle, and discussing information about the Origin Continent was no longer restricted by the Supreme Rules.
“Primal Ancestor, do you know which kingdom you are in on the Origin Continent?” Luo Feng asked.
Primal Ancestor said, “After I arrived on the Origin Continent, I encountered a tribe. This tribe has tens of thousands of beings, almost all of the adults are True Gods, and the entire tribe has only one Void True God. They were very friendly to me. I learned that the place where I am is within the territory of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.”
“Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom?” Luo Feng was slightly surprised.
“How is this Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom?” Primal Ancestor asked.
“Any kingdom on the Origin Continent called a ‘Kingdom’ is established by a Godking,” Luo Feng explained. “Among them, only two are called ‘Ancient Kingdoms’: the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. These two ancient kingdoms have the longest history, the deepest foundations, and are recognized as the two strongest kingdoms.”
No one knew when these two kingdoms were established, not even his master, Sitting Mountain Guest. There was no information recorded, and they were shrouded in mystery and the unknown.
In addition to the numerous Divine Kingdoms on the surface, the information left behind by his master, Sitting Mountain Guest, and the River of Breaking East lineage also mentioned some hidden forces, some hidden existences! For example, an existence who completely jumped out of the cage called ‘Yuan’, and the *Liew Yuan Art* originated from Yuan. Because of his transcending beyond the cage, Yuan was revered by those ancient existences.
His master, Sitting Mountain Guest, suspected that the two ancient kingdoms might also have existences that had broken free from the cage.
“Besides the Divine Kingdoms on the surface, there are also some very powerful forces in the dark,” Luo Feng said. “In short, be careful about everything on the Origin Continent.”
“I know. Luo Feng, where are you now?” Primal Ancestor asked.
“I am in the Yu Kingdom, a second-rate kingdom,” Luo Feng said. “We are too far apart and cannot meet up for the time being. And without Chaos Dominator-level strength, it is not suitable to cross half of the Origin Continent to meet.”
Crossing half of the Origin Continent was a near-death experience for Eternal True Gods.
Primal Ancestor nodded.
“Primal Ancestor, do you have an inheritance for breaking through to the Eternal True God realm?” Luo Feng asked.
“No,” Primal Ancestor shook his head and said with emotion, “After experiencing hardships to arrive on the Origin Continent, I know nothing about the Origin Continent and have no inheritance. Everything must be accumulated slowly.”
Luo Feng nodded.
The powerhouses who broke through the Cycle to arrive on the Origin Continent were indeed very unlucky.
Most of them knew nothing about information and had no inheritance.
He was lucky to have experienced near-death experiences and passed the tests of the River of Breaking East lineage and his master, Sitting Mountain Guest, to be able to obtain the inheritance of the two major factions.
“I have an inheritance here,” Luo Feng took out a memory stone he had prepared in advance.
The core inheritance of the River of Breaking East lineage was forbidden to be passed on, and the non-core inheritance was relatively ordinary and not suitable for Primal Ancestor.
The most core of the nine parts of the Jin World lineage’s inheritance was forbidden to be passed on, but there were no restrictions on the others. But to pass it on to Primal Ancestor, Luo Feng had to learn it himself before he could pour it into the memory stone.
“This inheritance is called *Nine Ennead Realms*. Primal Ancestor, see if it is suitable for you.” Luo Feng handed the memory stone to Primal Ancestor. “But I have only comprehended the first half, and the memory stone only contains the first half, which can be cultivated up to the Eternal True God level.”
“An inheritance leading to the Eternal True God?” Primal Ancestor’s eyes lit up.
“Thank you.” Primal Ancestor was quite excited, and reached out to take the memory stone. He immediately began to receive the information, and after a moment, he opened his eyes and nodded, “Luo Feng, this *Nine Ennead Realms* is very suitable for me.”
“It’s good that it’s suitable,” Luo Feng smiled.
During the month or so in the Cycle passage, Luo Feng had flipped through many inheritance lineages of the two lineages. Among the many inheritances that could be passed on, he felt that *Nine Ennead Realms* was the most suitable for Primal Ancestor, so he had spent his effort to comprehend it, and first comprehended the easier first half!
“Luo Feng, I won’t say too many words of thanks.” Primal Ancestor was quite excited. This inheritance was too precious for him!
Because he had cultivated for nearly one Cycle epoch, Primal Ancestor was even clearer about how difficult it was to go from Void True God to Eternal True God!
Even the creatures of the Origin Continent could cultivate with the help of bloodlines and resources such as alien beast materials, but only one in a billion could become Eternal True Gods!
“That’s all I can do. Everything in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom depends on yourself.” Luo Feng also looked at Primal Ancestor. Of the people from his hometown who had come to the Origin Continent, there were only himself and Primal Ancestor.
“You must also be careful in the Yu Kingdom,” Primal Ancestor also said.
The two smiled at each other.
At this moment, their true bodies were separated by half of the Origin Continent and could not meet, so they could only work hard on their own.
