Chapter 70: The Gift

Luo Feng was seated before the mountaintop pavilion, sipping the ‘Blackmarsh Fruit Wine’ which contained potent poison, and simultaneously operating the *Great Destruction Heart-Refining Method*. Only in this way could he effectively temper his will.

“This Blackmarsh Fruit Wine, the more I drink, the more flavorful it becomes.” Luo Feng enjoyed this sensation that impacted his entire divine body and even his soul. There was nothing he could do, after three body refinements, his divine body had become increasingly terrifying.

*Swoosh!* Jadegreen Rock sped up the mountain, respectfully saying, “Master, the City Lord’s manor sent word that Marquis Jiujiang has dispatched an envoy wishing to visit you.”

“Marquis Jiujiang’s envoy?” Luo Feng was surprised.

“Master, will you grant them an audience?” Jadegreen Rock asked.

“Of course, your master isn’t so arrogant as to disrespect a Marquis.” Luo Feng chuckled, “Tell the City Lord’s manor that I welcome the envoy at any time.”

Indeed, there had been many visits requested tonight, all of which Luo Feng had previously declined.

Hu Yang City was a melting pot of influences, and Luo Feng truly looked down upon the Eternal True Gods of the various powers. However, many of these powers were branches of major Origin Continent forces stationed in Hu Yang City.

Behind these powers might even be Chaos Realm experts or Godkings.

Therefore, Luo Feng was unwilling to become too deeply involved with these major force branches. Too much involvement would make him unable to control his own fate! The best method was to maintain a distance from them from the very beginning.

The Eternal True Gods in these branches held low positions and couldn’t offer particularly good conditions, yet they came with many troublesome matters!

Di Chuyu, on the other hand, held a high enough position and could offer sufficiently alluring conditions that even moved Luo Feng. Of course, this was on the premise that both Di Chuyu and Luo Feng achieved the Chaos Realm through the law lineage. Only then would Di Chuyu’s invitation have a chance of becoming reality.

“Individual talent is important, but external resources are equally important.” Luo Feng understood this clearly. Even he, without the resources provided by his master, Sitting Mountain Guest, would likely not have reached this stage.

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

By utilizing the resources of the Yan Wind Ancient Kingdom’s royal family, he could grow even stronger! In doing so, he would have a better chance of helping his master deal with his great enemy!

…

Mo Limeng brought the white-haired youth, Jiang Yuyou, to visit Luo Feng. Among the five great families, Mo Limeng was the most familiar with Luo Feng.

“Please.” Inside the mountaintop pavilion, Luo Feng, Jiang Yuyou, and Mo Limeng sat in their respective places.

“Commander Jiang is one of the Marquis’s four personal guard commanders. In Jiujiang City, his status even surpasses that of many generals,” Mo Limeng introduced from the side.

Luo Feng nodded, “I heard of Commander Jiang’s name even while in Hu Yang City.”

Although he was unwilling to live under the watchful eyes of a Chaos Master, he still had a basic understanding of the Jiujiang City’s intelligence.

Jiujiang City’s military was commanded by four personal guard commanders and sixteen generals, who were the most core military force. Jiujiang City’s military was far stronger than those of Hu Yang City and Xu Yin City.

“Compared to Luo He, I am far inferior,” the white-haired youth, Jiang Yuyou, said with a smile. His strength was only comparable to Mo Lixiao, far inferior to General Yong and Bloodcloud.

“Throughout the entire Yu Kingdom, those who can compare to Luo He are few and far between,” Mo Limeng also praised.

“Commander Jiang rushed here tonight?” Luo Feng looked at him.

Jiang Yuyou said, “Brother Luo He, the news of you killing Yu Tianhu, Yu Tianyi, and Bloodcloud reached the Marquis, and the Marquis was overjoyed. He immediately ordered me to come to Hu Yang City overnight to deliver this list to you. Brother Luo He may choose any one item from the list.”

As he spoke, Jiang Yuyou took out a scroll, which flew to Luo Feng.

The scroll unfurled, and Luo Feng looked at it.

“Upper Volume of *Void Nine Refinements Mystic Scripture*, Godking-level inheritance.”

“*Seven Falling Kill Method*, Complete Chaos Realm inheritance.”

…

Introductions to various inheritances, nine in total.

Besides the first inheritance, the upper volume of the *Void Nine Refinements Mystic Scripture*, which was a Godking-level inheritance, the others were all Chaos Realm inheritances.

Luo Feng secretly sighed. Marquis Jiujiang was indeed generous. After all, even the Duan Dong River lineage only had three Godking-level inheritances in total. Marquis Jiujiang himself might have learned several Godking-level inheritances, but those that could be passed on… were probably only this one.

“This upper volume of the *Void Nine Refinements Mystic Scripture*, judging from the name, I can guess that it is related to the ‘Great Dao of Void Origin,’ and is not very suitable for me,” Luo Feng thought.

Having two inheritance lineages, Luo Feng knew very well.

A Chaos Realm Master controlled Chaos Laws.

But to become a Godking? One must comprehend the ‘Great Dao of Origin’ contained within the supreme rules. Like the World Beast Moro Sa, who was born with the Great Dao of Destruction Origin. He himself did not have deep research into the void lineage, nor did he intend to walk this path.

“Brother Luo He can choose any one of the nine inheritances. Each one is extremely valuable, especially the upper volume of the *Void Nine Refinements Mystic Scripture*. This is a Godking-level inheritance, even harder to come by.” Jiang Yuyou said, “The Marquis values Brother Luo He very highly and is willing to spare no effort in cultivating you. If you don’t choose any of these inheritances, you can also choose ten million Universe Sand.”

Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, “Ten million Universe Sand, then.”

Jiang Yuyou was slightly taken aback.

He wouldn’t even choose a Godking-level inheritance? As the Marquis had guessed, such a powerful Eternal True God must already have a strong inheritance.

“Very well, the Marquis will directly send ten million Universe Sand to your name through the Yan Wind Hall,” Jiang Yuyou said.

“Help me thank the Marquis,” Luo Feng said.

“The Marquis has also personally contacted the Ruler and spoke about you,” Jiang Yuyou said, “The Ruler was also delighted that our Yu Kingdom had such a talented individual as Brother Luo He. The Ruler said that a special opportunity will arrive before too long, at which time the Ruler will send an envoy to deliver it to Brother Luo He.”

Luo Feng quickly stood up, “Help me thank the Marquis, and also thank the Ruler!”

Without Marquis Jiujiang’s efforts, some conflicts involving an Eternal True God would probably take some time to reach the Ruler! With Marquis Jiujiang personally reporting it, in order to give face to his subordinate in the Chaos Realm, the Yu Kingdom’s Ruler would have to make some gestures.

Therefore, he really had to thank the Marquis, and also thank the Ruler. He couldn’t remain seated so nonchalantly in the face of a Godking’s goodwill.

“Brother Luo He has contributed so much to Hu Yang City, it is only right that you receive these things. The Marquis is always like this; he never mistreats those who have rendered meritorious service,” Jiang Yuyou said, “However, Marquis Liuyin of the Devour Kingdom probably won’t give up. If Hu Yang City encounters trouble again, I’m afraid we will still need Brother Luo He’s help.”

Luo Feng smiled, “How much can I influence with my individual strength? Ultimately, it is still the City Lord’s manor that takes the lead.”

“Regarding the conflicts between the Devour Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom, Brother Luo He, please rest assured that Chaos Realm experts will not bully the weak. Otherwise, if both sides were to bully the weak, they would have been fighting and tearing the world apart long ago,” Jiang Yuyou said.

“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded.

This wasn’t just a matter of the Yu Kingdom and the Devour Kingdom; it was a tacit agreement throughout the entire Origin Continent.

If an Eternal True God didn’t actively provoke, a Chaos Master wouldn’t deal with the weak for the sake of face.

But if someone like Shadow Azure killed a Chaos Master’s children, the Chaos Master would be furious, and it would be normal for them to take action personally.

Or, if Chaos Masters were fighting each other, a Chaos Master would naturally do anything to survive! Slaughtering innocents to force the other party to stop, swallowing a large city in one gulp to recover their divine power – in the face of survival, nothing else mattered.

…

Having obtained these ten million Universe Sand from Marquis Jiujiang, Luo Feng also felt that his finances had become more relaxed. Five days later, the ‘Calamity Beast Diagram’ he purchased arrived.

“…Vice Hall Master.” Luo Feng greeted courteously.

The Vice Hall Master with the gray mist body walked in and handed Luo Feng a scroll shimmering with starlight, “Luo He, this is the Calamity Beast Diagram. Since you dare to buy it, you should also know some of the taboos to bear in mind when comprehending the Calamity Beast Diagram.”

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded. As a well-known treasure for will cultivation, both of his inheritance lineages contained detailed introductions.

Moreover, now that he had reached the peak of the Chaos Realm in will, the danger of comprehension was already very low.

“The Calamity Beast Diagram was personally painted by a certain Emperor of our Yan Wind Ancient Kingdom. The royal children understand how to comprehend the Calamity Beast Diagram very well,” the Vice Hall Master said with a smile, “The secret method of comprehension is generally only circulated among the great clans of the Yan Wind Ancient Kingdom, and will not be easily spread to some small countries.”

“This is a ‘Void Diagram’ to complement the Calamity Beast Diagram. The combination of the two diagrams, along with the secret method of comprehension, provides the best effect for will cultivation,” the Vice Hall Master waved his hand and took out a Void Diagram scroll.

Even when rolled up, the Void Diagram seemed to contain endless spacetime.

“This Void Diagram…” Luo Feng was surprised.

“Only royal children can apply to purchase the Void Diagram. The Hall Master bought it for you. It’s very cheap, only one million Universe Sand,” the Vice Hall Master said with a smile, “The secret method is only useful when the Void Diagram is used.”

Luo Feng’s communication token also received a secret method.

“The Void Diagram and the secret method of comprehension are gifts from the Hall Master,” the Vice Hall Master said.

“Help me thank the Hall Master,” Luo Feng was very grateful. The sale of Calamity Beast Diagrams was not restricted, but the corresponding Void Diagrams could only be applied for by royal children, greatly restricting the scope of dissemination.

In the end, this world valued strength.

Having displayed sufficient strength, the Yu Kingdom and the Yan Wind Ancient Kingdom’s royal family had both extended an olive branch.

…

After the Vice Hall Master left, Luo Feng immediately went into seclusion, entering the Star Tower to comprehend the ‘Calamity Beast Diagram’.

*Hua!*

The Calamity Beast Diagram and the Void Diagram simultaneously floated in the air, the Void Diagram perfectly overlaying the ‘Calamity Beast Diagram’.

“According to the information I had previously, comprehending the Calamity Beast Diagram should start with the edge, gradually expanding the range until the entire diagram is thoroughly viewed,” Luo Feng looked at the Calamity Beast Diagram before him, “But the Yan Wind Ancient Kingdom’s royal family’s method is to cooperate with the Void Diagram.”

“With the Void Diagram overlaid on the Calamity Beast Diagram, the Calamity Beast Diagram is reflected in three thousand layers of void, with different diagrams in different layers of void.”

“Comprehending the ‘Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Diagrams’ before comprehending the complete Calamity Beast Diagram is much more effective.”

Luo Feng looked at the diagram reflected in the outermost first layer of the Void Diagram.

The diagram of the first layer was of a ferocious and terrifying alien beast undergoing myriad tribulations. Each tribulation befalling it caused the alien beast to constantly transform. After passing through myriad tribulations, this ferocious and terrifying alien beast became dazzlingly radiant, even emitting brilliant light. This light was the light of the soul, illuminating Luo Feng’s soul.

This first layer of diagram alone required the will of a Chaos Realm expert to withstand.

As Luo Feng watched, it was as if he had transformed into the alien beast, experiencing the tribulations.

However, the Calamity Beast Diagram as drawn was already far inferior to a true tribulation, and further reflected through the three thousand layers of the Void Diagram, it was a billion times weaker than a true tribulation. Thus, the effect on Luo Feng’s soul was very weak, merely allowing Luo Feng to experience a hint of the flavor of the original.

By the time the first layer of diagram was completed, the day had already dawned.

“Is this the fundamental artistic conception of the Calamity Beast Diagram? Did it let me understand in advance?” Luo Feng immediately began to comprehend the diagram reflected in the second layer of the Void Diagram. This layer was shrouded in endless death intent.

The Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Diagrams provided different angles from which to understand the Calamity Beast Diagram.

First Layer: Fundamental Artistic Conception Layer.

Second Layer: Despair Layer of Endless Death Intent.

Third Layer: Nightmare Layer of Serenity.

…

Fortunately, Luo Feng’s own soul will was strong enough for him to immerse himself and comprehend each layer. He only felt as if he had transformed into the Calamity Beast, experiencing the trials of each layer.
