Luo Feng left Emperor Chu Palace and returned to his dwelling. He entered the Star Tower to study the newly acquired golden scaled-beetle corpse.

A massive scaled-beetle corpse lay sprawled on this level of the Star Tower, and Luo Feng gazed up at the colossal creature.

“As my master mentioned, the Primal Ancestor of Thunder focused intently on researching various Chaos Origin bloodlines. This is one of the special creatures he cultivated,” Luo Feng thought as he meticulously observed the scaled-beetle.

From the numerous inheritances and resource information available in the Inheritance Hall, Luo Feng gained an initial understanding:

The vast world governed by the Supreme Rules was like a cage. For instance, the Origin Continent and the Three Thousand Primal Universes were all contained within one complete cage. Outside this cage, there existed Chaos Origin power and Chaos Origin materials. Creatures born in that space possessed Chaos Origin bloodlines.

The vast majority of high-ranking members of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom’s royal family cultivated by leveraging Chaos Origin bloodlines.

“This is a Chaos Realm creature, yet it possesses a ‘Ten Directions World Form’ that is even more profound than the ‘Trinity Form’?” Luo Feng extended a finger, and a wisp of silver thread shot out from its tip, entering the golden scaled-beetle through its mouthparts. It quickly extracted a drop of blood.

Luo Feng began dissecting this drop of golden blood.

“Even though it’s dead, its blood is still so stable?” Luo Feng’s finger glowed with a sharp edge as he sliced the blood into particles.

“Every single particle of this golden scaled-beetle contains powerful spiritual energy. It truly is stronger than creatures of the Perfect Chaos Layer. No wonder it could contend with a God King despite being in a lower realm.”

As one golden particle was dissected, nine smaller particles appeared within it.

These nine small particles were divided into three groups, with three particles fused together in each group.

The three groups maintained a certain distance from each other, rotating slowly and steadily.

“So this is what a ‘Ten Directions World Form’ looks like?” Luo Feng watched in surprise. “The ‘Ten Directions World Form’ described in the first tribulation, ‘Life Body Lineage,’ of the *Eight Tribulations Life Form* is divided into seven categories, and this one before me is among them.”

Descriptions in inheritances naturally couldn’t compare to witnessing it firsthand.

One large particle contained nine small particles. Each group of three small particles fused together, forming three piles that perpetually rotated, chasing each other but never touching.

With Luo Feng’s understanding of the Life Body Lineage, having reached the peak of the Chaos Realm, observing such a form brought him considerable insights.

“Wonderful, wonderful, simply wonderful.”

Luo Feng watched with excitement. “These three particles, perfectly fused, also represent a Trinity Form.”

There were also many variations of the Trinity Form.

Creatures of the Perfect Chaos Layer were all composed of a single large particle containing internal Yin-Yang particles, forming their Trinity Form.

However, within the basic ‘Ten Directions World Form’ of the golden scaled-beetle, each fusion of three particles also constituted a type of Trinity Form.

“Two different types of Trinity Forms…”

Luo Feng observed carefully, even dissecting them further to watch the countless materialized Chaos secret patterns that appeared as the dissolving Trinity Forms broke apart.

“Can Trinity Forms even create a cyclical system among themselves?” Luo Feng meticulously studied the mysteries behind this, and his understanding of Trinity Forms continued to deepen.

During his time in Chu Capital, Luo Feng received top-tier inheritances and valuable resources, naturally dedicating himself wholeheartedly to cultivation. He had no interest whatsoever in getting involved in the various disputes within Chu Capital.

“What?”

Marquis Chuji and Marquis Chuyuan were originally enjoying drinks and chatting when they suddenly received a mission issued by the royal family simultaneously. They were both stunned the moment they received it.

“He-he-heavenly level?” Marquis Chuyuan’s ugly face contorted slightly, his eyes wide with shock.

“A Heavenly Level mission?” Marquis Chuji was also somewhat bewildered.

For first-rank marquises of the royal family, King Level missions were normally the highest they could access.

However, every few thousand or even ten thousand epochs, a higher ‘Earth Level mission’ would occasionally appear.

Over even longer periods, hundreds of thousands of epochs or more, a ‘Heavenly Level mission’ would occur on rare occasions. A Heavenly Level mission was the highest-grade mission a first-rank marquis of the royal family could potentially encounter in their lifetime.

This mission was issued directly to the first-rank marquises of the royal family. Guest elders were not qualified to accept it.

“There’s actually a Heavenly Level mission,” Marquis Chuyuan and Marquis Chuji exchanged glances.

“Brother,” Marquis Chuyuan’s eyes burned with fervor. “If we rank high in completing this Heavenly Level mission… the resource rewards will be immense, truly terrifying.”

“We must prepare thoroughly for this mission,” Marquis Chuji said, also feeling a surge of excitement.

On this day, all first-level God Kings and first-rank marquises of the Blazewind Ancient Kingdom’s royal family received a Heavenly Level mission.

This all stemmed from a batch of valuable resources sent back by the Primal Ancestor of Blazewind. According to royal family rules, the thirteen emperors and second-level God Kings were allocated a certain amount of resources based on their status, requiring no competition.

However, the first-level God Kings and first-rank marquises had to compete fiercely.

The excellent would receive more.

The mediocre would receive less.

In a mysterious palace within an illusory world, numerous thoughts converged.

“The Blazewind Ancient Kingdom has acquired a batch of rather valuable resources—Heavenly Level resources! The first-level God Kings and first-rank marquises of the Blazewind Ancient Kingdom’s royal family all need to compete. Resources will be distributed according to their rankings.”

“They will need some help for this competition. We can assist them.”

“If those first-level God Kings and first-rank marquises willingly share a portion of the resources they obtain with us, even the thirteen emperors of the Blazewind Ancient Kingdom won’t be able to stop it.”

“It’s only right that we receive some compensation for our help!”

Many ancient beings on the Origin Continent had long coveted the two ancient kingdoms.

The resources of the two ancient kingdoms were too immense. The Primal Ancestor of Blazewind and the Primal Ancestor of Thunder, not needing all the vast resources they acquired, left a large portion for their clans.

“In terms of talent and potential, the elites chosen from countless cultivators across the entire Origin Continent surely surpass those of the two ancient kingdoms’ royal families.”

“Yet, simply by cultivating with massive amounts of precious resources, they have managed to forcefully produce thirteen emperors in the Blazewind Ancient Kingdom and nine monarchs in the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. In terms of resources, what we use isn’t even one ten-thousandth of what these emperors and monarchs consume.”

“Serving as guest elders, accumulating millions of merit points through arduous effort, is still nowhere near enough for a single Ultimate Realm inheritance.”

“The Ultimate Realm inheritances in the two ancient kingdoms cost at least thirty million merit points each! The expensive Chaos Origin bloodline inheritances, or those cultivated with Chaos Origin power, can cost hundreds of millions of merit points.”

“And many resources are simply not available for exchange at all.”

These ancient beings were truly envious.

Serving as guest elders for the two ancient kingdoms, fighting life and death battles, made it incredibly difficult to even exchange for a single inheritance.

Meanwhile, the royal families of the two ancient kingdoms could freely choose inheritances and possessed abundant valuable resources. These ancient beings, despite their formidable strength, dared not seize anything openly. They could only use reasonable means to persuade the royal families to willingly offer them some resources.

“Fortunately, there’s Yuan. Yuan has given us unattached cultivators the same competitive opportunities as the royal family. Otherwise, we’d never get ahead.”

“Without Master Yuan, the two ancient kingdoms would only exploit us further.”

These ancient beings chatted for a while, exchanged information, and then dispersed.

Luo Feng emerged from his seclusion to welcome the visiting Emperor Chuyu.

“Brother Chuyu, what’s so urgent?” Luo Feng asked with a smile. Usually, a message would suffice, but Emperor Chuyu insisted on meeting to discuss something in detail.

“My Blazewind Ancient Kingdom’s royal family has issued a Heavenly Level mission, did you know?” Emperor Chuyu asked.

“A Heavenly Level mission?” Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.

Given his status, he was aware of common high-level intelligence within the Origin Continent and naturally knew that the highest-grade mission for first-rank marquises of the royal family was a ‘Heavenly Level mission,’ which also yielded the most incredible resources.

Luo Feng did not yet know that his master, Emperor Chu, had already summoned him after obtaining that massive batch of resources.

“A Heavenly Level mission might only occur once every few hundred thousand epochs,” Emperor Chuyu said, a hint of anxiety in his voice. “I’ve only been a first-rank marquis for a short time, and I’ve already encountered a Heavenly Level mission. Alas! Among the seven first-rank marquises of the Emperor Chu lineage, my strength is the weakest, so this competition will be very troublesome.”

“Very troublesome?” Luo Feng looked at him.

“The Heavenly Level mission is divided into three sub-tasks,” Emperor Chuyu explained. “The first two sub-tasks are individual tasks that I must complete on my own. Only for the third sub-task… can I seek external assistance.”

Luo Feng understood.

Two sub-tasks relying solely on himself? The weakest Emperor Chuyu was indeed at a significant disadvantage.

“If this Heavenly Level mission had been delayed by another hundred epochs, I would have reached the peak of the Chaos Realm,” Emperor Chuyu remarked, feeling quite helpless. Even with abundant resources aiding his cultivation, he was still some distance away from the peak of the Chaos Realm.

Luo Feng said, “Regardless, you must compete. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next Heavenly Level mission will appear.”

“Among the three sub-tasks, one involves competing for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl,” Emperor Chuyu said. “For this task, I can only trouble Brother Luo He for help. Only with your strength is there any hope of contending for it.”

Luo Feng understood.

Across the entire Origin Continent, the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl was produced in only one location, situated in the border region between the two ancient kingdoms.

“Don’t worry,” Luo Feng nodded.

“As long as Brother Luo He helps me complete this task, I won’t trouble you with other tasks in the future,” Emperor Chuyu said, implying that if this Heavenly Level mission was completed well and yielded enough resources.

Even if he were to ‘lie flat’ for tens of thousands of epochs afterward, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Luo Feng smiled. “Brother Chuyu, rest assured, I will do my utmost for this mission.”

Emperor Chuyu had played a part in Luo Feng’s ability to come to Chu Capital as a guest elder and subsequently be accepted as a direct disciple by Emperor Chu.

Considering their relationship alone, he needed to help diligently.

“Remember, once the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl appears, it must be returned to Chu Capital within ten days. After ten days, it will transform into a ‘Blood Spirit Poison Pearl’ and will no longer count towards mission merit,” Emperor Chuyu instructed.

Luo Feng nodded.

“There are seven first-rank marquises from my Emperor Chu royal lineage,” Emperor Chuyu stated. “Although I am the weakest in strength, I have long reached the peak of the Chaos Realm. Furthermore, my two individual tasks test various aspects like comprehension and temperament, so I might not necessarily be last.”

“As for competing for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl, among the seven first-rank marquises, I estimate not many will be able to enlist the help of a Chaos Realm Transcendent.”

“I estimate I should be able to vie for third or fourth place,” Emperor Chuyu said.

Seven first-rank marquises.

The difference in resources distributed from first place to seventh place was enormous.

Emperor Chuyu would be quite satisfied if he could secure a mid-tier ranking.

“Leave the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task to me,” Luo Feng said. Of course, he wasn’t confident about Emperor Chuyu’s final ranking. Who knew how Emperor Chuyu would perform on his two individual tasks?

“Here are the detailed instructions for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task; I’ll send them to you now,” Emperor Chuyu immediately transmitted.

Luo Feng received the mission details and promptly reviewed them.

Currently, it was the mission preparation period. The Heavenly Level mission would officially commence one thousand days later.

The entire Heavenly Level mission would last for one epoch.

After one epoch, the overall rankings would be calculated.
