Luo Feng stood with his feet planted on the ground and his head touching the edge of the starry sky, looking down at the tiny figure of Marquis Liu Yin as he merged into the heavens and the earth and disappeared from sight.
“I am extremely strong in close combat, but my means of trapping an enemy are quite lacking, Marquis Liu Yin could leave as he wished, and I could not stop him at all,” thought Luo Feng. After all, he had only stepped into the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm for a relatively short period.
This battle made the outside world regard him as a cultivator fixated on his physical body, at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm!
But Luo Feng was well aware that his physical body was so strong partly because his Perfect Divine Body had grown to its limit and was comparable to the top of the Primal Chaos Realm. On the other hand, by comprehending various transformation methods with the “Formless and Intangible” ability, these transformation methods were even more effective than some body refining methods for him!
At the extreme growth of the Perfect Divine Body, its most basic composition was still “Divine Power”.
As for the Transformation Method, its most basic units contained Life Spirituality, and it had undergone a qualitative change! The change in form had made the Perfect Divine Body much more formidable.
“Hoo.”
Luo Feng instantly shrank back to his normal size and landed within the city owner’s mansion.
“Brother Luo He, Brother Luo He,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang approached excitedly at that moment, his face full of gratitude and with a very humble posture, “I never expected that our small Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture would have Brother Luo He come to live in seclusion; it truly is a blessing for our entire prefecture.
Previously, I mistook Brother Luo He for an eternal true god and was truly negligent, so negligent!”
“Marquis of Jiu Jiang is too kind,” said Luo Feng.
Speaking of which, he had met Marquis of Jiu Jiang only a handful of times, so naturally, their feelings for each other were not very deep. However, during those few interactions, Marquis of Jiu Jiang had been quite generous. When Marquis Liu Yin initially made a move, Marquis of Jiu Jiang also helped to intercept, and Luo Feng felt quite fond of Marquis of Jiu Jiang.
“Brother Luo He, I’ve prepared some ordinary food and drinks; let’s sit down and talk,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang had already arranged everything, warmly leading the way.
“Please,” Luo Feng nodded, and at the same time, he glanced at Moyu Qingyan and Morosa in the distance, nodding slightly.
Moyu Qingyan was somewhat excited.
“To think my master is so powerful,” various thoughts emerged in Moyu Qingyan’s mind, feeling as if she were floating on air, it was all too surreal.
“Of course, the master is powerful,” Morosa remarked from nearby.
“Lord Luo Sa, the outside world once thought you were the master’s Protector,” Moyu Qingyan whispered.
“I’m not worthy to be the master’s Protector; I am truly just a servant,” Morosa said with a sigh, speaking the truth as even his soul had been enslaved, he was an absolute servant.
Morosa knew very well.
His master, Luo Feng, was a cultivator who could naturally blend in with some of the major forces of the Land of Origin. But as for himself, Morosa, he had to hide in the shadows, and even making a move required much consideration. Speaking of which… it was the master who was his Protector!
“Kid, seize the opportunity,” Morosa said to Moyu Qingyan, “To become the master’s only disciple is your great fortune; you must treasure this chance.”
“I understand,” Moyu Qingyan nodded. Becoming the direct disciple of a being at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm was a tremendous opportunity, and she naturally needed to act cautiously and considerately.
Morosa watched this scene.
This lucky child…
The master was not merely a common figure at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm.
At this moment, the conversation between Morosa and Moyu Qingyan, seen from afar by other cultivators, was enviable.
“Is this the strength of Lord Luo He?” General Yuewu, Moli Xiao, Lord of Huyang City, and a host of eternal true gods were all shocked.
“This being actually shed tears listening to Araya’s music, to my music?” the Dream Flower Tower Master thought to himself, “Probably moved at heart, thus shedding tears, indeed true to his emotions.”
“This being, who is even stronger than Marquis Liu Yin, was actually willing to help me avenge my grievances,” Diaorong Qi looked on from a distance.
To many cultivators, this might be the first time they had seen such an immense divine body, and even Marquis of Jiu Jiang felt an extreme pressure; one could only imagine the shock it had on the spirit of ordinary cultivators.
…
Flame Wind Pavilion.
“Brother Luo He turned out to be a Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm existence,” Emperor Chu Yu was quite emotional. “It seems, however, that he is wholly devoted to godly body cultivation! His other aspects seem a bit weak.”
“In the Primal Chaos Realm, there are dozens in the Land of Origin who are adept at godly body cultivation. But those who stand as tall as heaven and earth…
in the entire Land of Origin, figures at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm can be counted on one’s fingers,” the Deputy Pavilion Master said with emotion, being from the Imperial Clan of Flame Wind Ancient Country, his experience was very broad.
Emperor Chu Yu smiled, “There’s no need to fret too much, an unlimited godly body at the Primal Chaos Realm, trying to grow tall enough to match heaven and earth is extremely difficult. Those who focus on body refinement are seeking a stronger godly body, not height. Take for instance, the well-renowned ‘Marquis Minghuo’ from my Flame Wind Ancient Country who focuses on body refinement.
His form is not imposing… yet he has reached the level of Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm, able to contend with some ordinary Godly Kings without falling behind.”
Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm, in some fringe nations, is considered the strongest in the Primal Chaos Realm.
Yet, in the two great ancient countries, there exist those who are beyond the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm and have reached an unimaginable level.
If the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm was where one’s realm touched the threshold of Godly King,
then the beings at the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm have a nature of power at the Godly King level.
However, such beings are scarce, almost all residing in the two great ancient countries.
“Luo He being able to suppress Marquis Liu Yin naturally means he’s somewhat stronger. But he couldn’t even force out any of Marquis Liu Yin’s life-saving secret techniques… showing that his advantage is limited,” Emperor Chu Yu smiled, “Once he becomes a Guest Elder for Emperor Chu’s Lineage, with better nurturing, I believe he will achieve even greater accomplishments.”
Being the first to invite a cultivator to the position of Guest Elder in the Primal Chaos Realm was indeed promising, and Emperor Chu Yu was very happy about it.
He knew very well that with the Imperial Thirteen Branches, competition was fierce.
The stronger his assistants, the smoother his own path would be.
“`
“If he could take one more step and reach the level of Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm, the help he brings would be much greater,” the Deputy Pavilion Master said. In the Flame Wind Ancient Country, the ancient God Kings naturally held high status. But in the Primal Chaos Realm, only the ‘Transcendental beings of Primal Chaos Realm’ held a high enough status.
The Imperial Thirteen Branches, each branch’s imperial members of the Primal Chaos Realm, the numerous disciples under Emperor’s tutelage, as well as the disciples of God Kings who served as Guest Elders, and even some independent cultivators of the Primal Chaos Realm, the competition was too fierce.
The Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm? They were barely noticeable among them. Many existences at the pinnacle ultimately chose to leave the Flame Wind Ancient Country.
“I am worried about one thing,” the Deputy Pavilion Master said. “I have never heard of such a powerful being before, and now suddenly a Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm appears…”
“What’s there to worry about?” Emperor Chu Yu laughed, “At worst, it’s just a transmigrated God King.”
Indeed, some powerful beings in the Land of Origin could transmigrate.
But for the Flame Wind Ancient Country, these were just little waves in the endless ocean.

In the Huyang City Lord’s Mansion, within a graceful building, Luo Feng sat opposite Marquis of Jiu Jiang.
“This time, I truly have Brother Luo He to thank,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang said with deep emotion. “In this era, I’ve traveled across most of the Land of Origin, visiting many friends, seeking a strong ally. But I couldn’t invite even one.”
Luo Feng also understood.
Marquis Liu Yin, a fierce and overbearing figure who stopped at nothing to achieve his goals, made other Pinnacles of the Primal Chaos Realm cautious about becoming his enemy.
It was Luo Feng, who came to the Land of Origin through the Samsara Channel, who had no attachments, acting even more unrestrainedly.
If the entire human race was in the Land of Origin, and his family and friends were all here, he too would have to think thrice.
“I understand their difficulties, and I can’t offer enough to invite them either,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang looked at Luo Feng, moved. “And this time, I merely paid a negligible one billion Cosmic Sand, yet Brother Luo He helped me preserve my fief. I really don’t know what to say. I want to thank Brother Luo He… but I can’t offer anything of sufficient value.”
Marquis of Jiu Jiang had invested all his resources in his own cultivation. His Weapon Secret Treasures were too important to himself.
To thank someone? He truly didn’t have any treasures valuable enough.
“After much thought,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang looked at Luo Feng, “Brother Luo He lives in seclusion in Huyang, and has helped the citizens of Huyang on multiple occasions. You must care a lot about this Huyang City. So I’ve decided to gift this Huyang City to Brother Luo He.”
“From now on, Huyang City only needs to pay twenty percent of the residence fee to the God Kings. Everything else belongs to Brother Luo He, including all matters of administration in Huyang City… it’s all for Brother Luo He to decide.”
“From now on, Huyang City is Brother Luo He’s city,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang looked at Luo Feng, “I find it hard to repay the great kindness of Brother Luo He this time. You must accept Huyang City.”
Luo Feng was taken aback.
Granting a city?
After all, Huyang City was within the territory of Yu Kingdom, so paying twenty percent of the residence fee to the God Kings was mandatory. The other eighty percent of the residence fees, including some of the city’s resource outputs, would all go to him.
“Marquis of Jiu Jiang, it won’t be long before I head to the Flame Wind Ancient Country. I won’t be able to oversee this Huyang City,” Luo Feng said.
“Brother Luo He, with your current reputation… if you leave a Divine Power Incarnation here, who would dare offend?” Marquis of Jiu Jiang immediately said, “As for city management, naturally, there are subordinates to handle it.”
“Also, I have a selfish motive. After Brother Luo He leaves Huyang, Marquis Liu Yin is likely to get ideas again,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang looked at Luo Feng, “But if Huyang City becomes Brother Luo He’s city, Marquis Liu Yin will definitely not dare to offend again. In reality, I am using a city… to preserve my entire fief.”
Luo Feng looked at Marquis of Jiu Jiang’s expectant gaze, thought for a moment, and then nodded: “Alright, then I’ll accept it.”
Huyang City was the first city he lived in when he came to the Land of Origin, holding some special significance.
And indeed, his presence in the city would definitely deter Marquis Liu Yin from harboring any thoughts of offence.
“Hahaha, thank you, Brother Luo He,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang was overjoyed.
The entire fief’s income, besides the three large cities, included one hundred eighty-nine ordinary cities. While the income from a single ordinary city was lower, the total could match up to two large cities.
In actuality, by giving away one-fifth of his fief, he retained the greater portion and also secured a Pinnacle-level strong ally.
It was extremely worthwhile!
“With Brother Luo He’s intervention, this war has come to an end,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang said, “Now that Heartshadow Sect is trapped inside the city, what does Brother Luo He plan to do with them?”
“What to do?” Luo Feng pondered.
“The core treasures of this Heartshadow Sect are hidden by the two Primal Chaos Realm cultivators who have escaped,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang said, “The Heartshadow Sect’s eternal true gods don’t have any treasures of great value on them. It’s not worth Brother Luo He’s time to deal with them.”
“In that case, I’ll send my men to loot Heartshadow Sect, and all the treasures will belong to Brother Luo He. As for the Heartshadow Sect itself, let them go. That way, the outside world can’t accuse Brother Luo He of being a bully,” Marquis of Jiu Jiang said, “What does Brother Luo He think?”
The Primal Chaos Realm cultivators, as long as they do not offend him, generally don’t bully the weak.
“Loot their treasures, and let them go?”
Luo Feng shook his head lightly, “When they were rampaging and massacring freely within Huyang City, they had already offended me.”
Marquis of Jiu Jiang was taken aback.
“Since they like to massacre and loot so much, there’s no need for Heartshadow Sect to exist anymore, they can be disbanded,” Luo Feng said, “As for those eternal true gods, investigate each one. Not a single one who participated in the massacre within Huyang City shall be spared, execute all of them. As for those who didn’t partake in the massacre, let them go.”
“Disband Heartshadow Sect?” Marquis of Jiu Jiang couldn’t help but say, “Heartshadow Sect still has two Primal Chaos Realm cultivators out there… doing so would absolutely offend those two.”
“If offense leads to offense, so be it, what can they do?” Luo Feng looked at Marquis of Jiu Jiang, “I don’t have as good a temper as Great Saint Jiuyuan.”
