**Chapter 171: The Nine Members of Reincarnation Spire**

Luo Feng smiled, looking at the woman in azure robes. “Senior Feng Du, you think too highly of me. Reincarnation Spire is renowned throughout the Origin Continent. I believe its members’ strength far surpasses mine.”

“Currently, the eight members consist of one who is invincible among those at the first level of God-Kings, and seven at the second level,” the azure-robed woman admitted.

“The gap between them and me is vast,” Luo Feng stated.

“Then are you willing to join?” The azure-robed woman gazed at Luo Feng. “You should be confident that you’ll soon become invincible among those at the first level of God-Kings.”

Luo Feng didn’t answer immediately but paused to ask, “Senior Feng Du, could you tell me the rules of Reincarnation Spire?”

The azure-robed woman replied, “I merely established the organization Reincarnation Spire. All members are absolutely equal and know each other’s identities. If there’s an action to be taken, one can invite other companions to participate… but their participation is entirely voluntary.”

“Whether the relationships between members are friendly or hostile is beyond anyone’s control.”

“However, Reincarnation Spire has two core principles. First, no member can reveal the identity of another. Second, for any action initiated by a member, those who participate must not betray, and those who refuse must not reveal the action to outsiders.”

“These are the only two rules, and once you join, you must abide by them,” the azure-robed woman said, watching Luo Feng. “Once violated, you will be in violation of Great Karma and become the common enemy of all other members.”

Luo Feng understood.

No revealing identities, no betrayal.

Quite simple, actually.

“If those are the only two rules, then I am willing to join,” Luo Feng said.

Also, over the long ages, Reincarnation Spire had maintained a good reputation on the Origin Continent. It wasn’t a force established by foreign races like Two Realm Palace, Myriad Law Tower, or the Temporal Isolated Ark.

Moreover, Empress Feng Du had an excellent reputation, and both Ancient Nations treated her kindly. The reputation of Reincarnation Spire and Empress Feng Du… that was the real reason Luo Feng was willing to join.

In fact, according to his master Sitting Mountain Guest’s guidance, after becoming a God-King, it was natural to join certain forces.

“Welcome to the fold!” The azure-robed woman beamed, producing a token with a flip of her hand. “With this token, a wisp of your consciousness can enter Reincarnation Spire. I will gather the other companions to welcome our new comrade.”

Luo Feng accepted the token.

“You can also use this token to contact the other eight members,” the azure-robed woman added.

Luo Feng sensed that the token, beyond allowing one to descend to Reincarnation Spire, only allowed him to contact the eight companions.

…

A towering figure stood between heaven and earth, his body nearly occupying one-third of the land. Black winds howled, grinding against his skin, his bluish-black skin containing a terrifying aura.

In this world, besides him, there were only two old servants.

“Hmm?”

The towering figure suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in his dark yellow gaze. “Feng Du has invited a new member? Reincarnation Spire finally has another new member?”

…

“Come, come, drink, drink!”

Inside a grand hall, a young man was enjoying his wine, surrounded by numerous friends.

“Second Brother, your talent is quite high. You still need to put some effort into cultivation,” a burly man with scaled tail and sharp horns walked closer, advising. “Continuing to indulge like this will make it difficult to escape when calamity arrives.”

“Cultivation?” The drunken youth glanced at his friend. “Big Brother, what is cultivation for?”

“With greater strength, becoming a Chaos Realm expert is true dominance, capable of easily controlling the fate of a Chaos Region,” the burly man said.

“I don’t care about controlling anyone’s fate. It’s good enough to control my own. Hahaha, what I see, what I hear, what I know… that is my everything,” the drunken youth laughed heartily. “Don’t set your sights too high. It’s already good enough to enjoy fine wine.”

“Alas…” The burly man didn’t try to persuade him further.

The drunken youth suddenly sensed something.

“Oh, Feng Du invited a new member? I wonder who the new member is?” A hint of profundity flashed in the drunken youth’s eyes. He had chosen reincarnation to sever the entanglement of karma and gain some freedom.

However, after reincarnating, he still contacted Empress Feng Du and rejoined Reincarnation Spire.

Reincarnation Spire was the only thing he still trusted; the members of Reincarnation Spire… had never betrayed him.

“Let’s see the new member,” the drunken youth muttered, his thought already heading towards Reincarnation Spire using the token.

…

Beyond the Origin Continent was the endless Universe Sea. Near the edge of the continent, a vast expanse of the Universe Sea was filled with endless poisonous mist. The poisonous mist was spread over a wide area and was continuously accumulating, increasing with time.

At the center of the poisonous mist was a massive creature with countless claws and a single golden eye.

“Reincarnation Spire finally has a new member. The one Feng Du chose must be extraordinary.” The massive creature also entered Reincarnation Spire with a thought.

…

Soon, one member after another arrived.

“Buzz.” Luo Feng, using the token, also descended into the Reincarnation Spire for the first time.

It was a pavilion conjured from illusion. Luo Feng stepped into the pavilion and immediately saw eight figures already seated within. He, the new member, was the last to arrive.

“Luo He has arrived,” Empress Feng Du said from her seat, smiling at Luo Feng.

The other seven also looked at Luo Feng with curiosity, each appearing friendly.

Luo Feng saw these seven, none of whom concealed their identities. Luo Feng immediately recognized them, causing him to be inwardly astonished.

“What a Reincarnation Spire. No wonder it only had eight members before, yet its reputation is comparable to Two Realm Palace.” Luo Feng knew that these members were all widely renowned.

“In our Reincarnation Spire, all members are treated equally. You can call us by our names,” Empress Feng Du said. “Luo He, from this moment on, you are our ninth member.”

“Luo He.” A robust figure raised his cup with a smile, full of goodwill. It was Emperor Gui Xu.

“Luo He, the number one Chaos Realm expert. I’ve heard of your name long ago. For Feng Du to invite you here, you must be even more remarkable than the rumors say.” A large, corpulent man chuckled, his smile possessing an invisible magic that naturally made other beings feel favorable towards him. He was Great Freedom Venerate, a disciple of World King.

“Luo He, I am Wu Xin,” a young man said, smiling at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded, smiling back. “Brother Wu Xin.”

Wu Xin…

He had once been an honored guest God-King of Yan Feng Ancient Nation. He hadn’t fully joined Yan Feng Ancient Nation, merely acting as an ordinary guest! As his strength increased, becoming a second level God-King, he began to vie for some resources.

Because the resources he acquired were too precious, he was repeatedly ambushed by Yan Feng Ancient Nation. After several ambushes, Wu Xin finally fell in battle.

“There was no other way. If I didn’t die, Yan Feng Ancient Nation wouldn’t give up. So I had to reincarnate so that they couldn’t trace me through karma,” the youth explained. “You’re only in the Chaos Realm now, and you don’t have any resources that would tempt them! When you’re strong enough, you’ll know how ugly the faces of those Emperors of Yan Feng Ancient Nation are!”

Luo Feng smiled slightly. “Thank you for the reminder, Brother Wu Xin.”

Among the eight members present, two had great animosity with Yan Feng Ancient Nation: Emperor Gui Xu and Wu Xin God-King. Both had once been honored guests, and Emperor Gui Xu had even been a personal disciple of ‘Emperor Xuan’.

Their grievances were real, and Luo Feng understood Wu Xin’s advice, which seemed to be sincere.

But…

Although there were many rumors and Luo Feng knew that some Emperors and God-Kings of Yan Feng Ancient Nation were very tyrannical,

at least for now, Yan Feng Ancient Nation had no animosity towards him. On the contrary, his connection with Emperor Chu Yu, his connection with Master Emperor Chu, and his connection with Emperor Ming… Luo Feng cherished all of these.

Kindness was kindness, and hatred was hatred.

Master Emperor Chu and Emperor Ming had both been kind to him, and Luo Feng wouldn’t turn against Yan Feng Ancient Nation just because other cultivators had provoked him with a few words.

“Luo He.” A man in white robes nodded to Luo Feng with a smile.

“King Tian Du,” Luo Feng nodded in return.

King Tian Du was a disciple of Yan Feng Ancestor! A second level God-King, he held a high position in Yan Feng Ancient Nation despite being an honorary God-King. The Emperors also gave King Tian Du a great deal of respect.

The first three-in-one form material he had obtained came from King Tian Du’s pet.

…

Luo Feng exchanged brief greetings with the members present.

Of the eight members, Empress Feng Du was from the Eastern Extremes Region, and Great Freedom Venerate was from Myriad World Nation.

Emperor Gui Xu, Wu Xin God-King, and King Tian Du were all related to Yan Feng Ancient Nation.

Cloud Sky God-King was invincible among first level God-Kings. He had originally been an honorary God-King of Thunder Ancient Nation, but he had lost control while cultivating the Primordial Bloodline and killed a God-King of Thunder Ancient Nation, forcing him to flee.

Blackfire Demon Lord was also an honorary God-King of Thunder Ancient Nation, a second level God-King. He had completely turned against Thunder Ancient Nation to seize the resources to become a Ruler. Speaking of which, Thunder Ancient Nation had valued him greatly, but because he had never obtained the resources to become a Ruler, he had turned against Thunder Ancient Nation. His reputation on the Origin Continent was quite good.

“Earth God-King.” Luo Feng looked at the last stout man sitting there, smiling and raising his cup to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng immediately raised his cup in return, understanding in his heart…

Throughout Reincarnation Spire, Empress Feng Du and Earth God-King were the strongest in terms of strength.

Earth God-King was also a loose God-King who had risen from the bottom, once serving as an honorary guest for Thunder Ancient Nation! He was exceptionally talented and dazzling. With his talent, he had even obtained multiple resources left behind by Yuan, provoking Thunder Ancient Nation to scheme against him. However, his strength was too great, and he still managed to escape in the face of attacks from multiple Rulers. From then on, Earth God-King and Thunder Ancient Nation became enemies.

Earth God-King, although a second level God-King, was also capable of crossing realms to clash with Rulers of Thunder Ancient Nation, with their strengths being comparable.

“A Reincarnation Spire has two who are comparable to Emperor-level figures,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “No wonder it has such great renown.”

This welcome for the new member was also an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other.

Apart from Earth God-King, who was somewhat taciturn, the other members chatted with Luo Feng for a while, all of them being quite cordial.

“Within Reincarnation Spire, my strength is now at the bottom. Even if they have any actions, it wouldn’t be suitable to drag me along.” Luo Feng understood this point. Only after becoming a God-King and his strength fully rising could he participate in some actions.
