Luo Feng stood inside the cave mansion, looking up at General Xuanjiao in the sky, and without hesitation, he immediately said, “It’s my fortune that Emperor Chu is willing to take me as his disciple, and I am naturally willing.”
Luo Feng had been prepared for Emperor Chu to take him as a disciple, and he had thought it over carefully.
Among the thirteen Emperors of the Imperial Clan of Flame Wind Ancient Country, Emperor Chu had terrifying strength, and the few recorded instances of his intervention were sweeps against other ancient existences. He was quite low-key and bore no infamy, mostly devoting himself to cultivation in seclusion.
Becoming a disciple of Emperor Chu was something Luo Feng was willing to do.
After all, he knew well that with the help of a master, he could avoid many detours.
“Good, follow me.” General Xuanjiao then showed a smile, waved his hand and, enveloping Luo Feng with an invisible wave, flew toward the Palace of Emperor Chu together.
“Brother Luo He, congratulations,” Emperor Chu Yu congratulated him during the flight.
“It’s also thanks to Brother Chu Yu for bringing me to Chu Capital,” Luo Feng also expressed his thanks.
“Haha… With Brother Luo He’s strength, even without me, you would rise rapidly,” Emperor Chu Yu said.
Soon, under the lead of General Xuanjiao, Luo Feng and the others arrived in front of the Palace of Emperor Chu.
“All of you withdraw, I’ll take Luo He to meet the Emperor,” General Xuanjiao said.
“Yes,” the trusted aides withdrew, and Emperor Chu Yu stood outside the Palace of Emperor Chu with a slight smile, not following any further.
Immediately after, Luo Feng entered the palace, which seemed to merge into the dark and chaotic, with General Xuanjiao.
A moment later.
Luo Feng and General Xuanjiao entered an ancient hall together, instantly seeing a burly figure sitting on the floor of the hall, this figure sitting there as if he were the center of the boundless universe.
As if the heaven and earth were to perish, yet he would not.
His breathing was even more terrifying than the might of heaven and earth.
Looking at Luo Feng… it gave Luo Feng a sensation akin to facing the Great Dao of Life Origin.
Luo Feng understood that this person must be one of the thirteen Emperors of the Imperial Clan, “Emperor Chu.”
“Emperor,” General Xuanjiao saluted, “Luo He has been brought here.”
Emperor Chu nodded slightly and General Xuanjiao immediately withdrew from the hall.
The hall was then left with only Luo Feng and Emperor Chu.
“Luo He,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng with a smile, “Recently, I’ve taken some time to understand your past, you come from the Primordial Cosmos?”
Luo Feng was surprised and did not hide it, immediately bowing, “Yes, I indeed come from the Primordial Cosmos.”
Emperor Chu smiled approvingly, “Creatures from the Primordial Cosmos are exceptionally weak; growing from weakness to a True God is difficult. That you have reached the transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm… is indeed impressive.”
“Don’t be nervous, countless ancestors of today’s cultivators almost all came from the Primordial Cosmos. They came to the Land of Origin, and through endless years of propagation, we now have so many creatures,” Emperor Chu said, “The original natives of the Land of Origin almost all live in the region of the Eastern Extremes.”
Luo Feng also knew this.
“Let me ask you another question, are you the reincarnation of a cultivator?” Emperor Chu asked again, although the Flame Wind Ancient Country had clever means, they still could not break through the supreme rules.
“No,” Luo Feng shook his head.

Emperor Chu nodded.
“Among the thirteen Emperors, I have the fewest disciples, only two,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, “In accepting disciples, I value talent and compatibility of temperaments. Your talent is good, and I like your character too, which is why I decided to take you as my disciple.”
Emperor Chu said, “Before you become a disciple, think it over carefully, whether you really want to become a disciple.”
“Becoming a disciple is a significant cause and effect.”
“The relationship between master and disciple is comparable to that of close blood relatives,” Emperor Chu said, “A master chooses his disciple, and a disciple also chooses his master! Think it over carefully. Once you become my disciple, the other pinnacle beings of the Land of Origin will no longer be able to take you in as a disciple.”
Luo Feng, of course, understood that the mentor-disciple relationship was significant!
Yet, how many of the pinnacle beings in the Land of Origin were interested in him? Moreover, Luo Feng had his temperaments; some existences committing immense sins, Luo Feng himself did not wish to become a disciple under them.
“Disciple has thought it through clearly,” Luo Feng immediately knelt down, touched his head to the ground, and made a grand salute, “Disciple Luo Feng, greets the master.”
“Luo Feng?” Emperor Chu was startled.
“Luo Feng is my real name, involving some karma, so I have always used the name Luo He.” Since Luo Feng decided to become a disciple, he naturally no longer hid his real name.
“Hahaha… very well, very well,” Emperor Chu laughed upon hearing this, “From today onwards, Luo Feng, you are now my third direct disciple!”
“Luo Feng, do the karmas you’re entangled with require my help to resolve?” Emperor Chu asked.
“Not necessary, disciple can resolve them,” Luo Feng said.
Emperor Chu nodded in satisfaction, “Since you are entangled in karma, I will also keep your real name confidential.” Seeing his disciple resolve troubles on his own was something Emperor Chu was very pleased to see.
“Today you’ve sworn apprenticeship to me, and I’ve prepared three gifts for you,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, “The first gift is the two inheritances you chose, ‘Eight Tribulations Life Form’ First Calamity and ‘Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades’ Volume One. Once you master them, you can get the following inheritances for free.”
“Of course, the inheritances I can give you for free are those that do not surpass the Ultimate Realm of Godly King,” Emperor Chu said.
Luo Feng listened with surprise.
Free access to these two inheritances up to the Ultimate Realm of Godly King?
Currently, ‘Eight Tribulations Life Form’ First Calamity and ‘Extermination of Seventy-Two Blades’ Volume One, both tips of the First Realm of Godly King, are worth around 100,000 Merit Points each. If one were to progress further… the inheritance of the Second Realm of Godly King would require around 3 million Merit Points.
The teachings of the Third Realm (The Ultimate Realm), even more, demands one billion Merit Points.
To gain these Dharma, some Guest Elders would even fight to the death for the Flame Wind Ancient Country.
Two inheritances, worth around two billion Merit Points in total! As long as I reach the required realm, I can get them for free! This is the difference between outsiders and Direct Disciples.
“The second gift I have for you,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, flipped his hand and he took out a stone box. As the box opened, it contained ten pale red fruits.
Just by smelling the fruit, Luo Feng felt his soul nourished, and his thoughts churning several times faster, “These are ‘Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruits.’ The Ancestor once bestowed them to me, but now they are of little use to me, so I give ten to you.”
“These Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruits are grown from a fruit tree cultivated with Primordial Crystal Jade. They have miraculous effects in nourishing the soul. After consumption, one’s alignment with the supreme rules significantly improves, thus greatly enhancing one’s comprehension,” said Emperor Chu, “This is not a product from within our origin world but exceedingly rare.
Merit Points can’t even exchange them, so make sure you use them sparingly.”
“I suggest you consume five fruits at the Primal Chaos Realm and another five at the First Realm of Godly King.”
“Yes, Master,” Luo Feng felt the deep care of his master.
Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, “What is your most commonly used weapon?”
Luo Feng flipped his hand and pulled out the Bloodshadow Knife, “This blade.”
Emperor Chu glanced at it, “Is it a Godly King Level Blade Embryo?”
Emperor Chu pondered briefly then flipped his hand to take out a cluster of rainbow-colored mud, casually tossing it onto the Bloodshadow Knife. The knife eagerly absorbed the colorful mud in the blink of an eye.
“Originally, your Blade Embryo was capped at a weapon of the First Realm of Godly King,” Emperor Chu said, “Now, its potential has increased significantly, with the possibility of reaching the Ultimate Realm of Godly King.”
“However, I’ve provided the main material; you will need to gather some supplementary materials yourself. Because nurturing a Blade Embryo is most crucially your personal endeavor. Here is the detailed method to nurture a weapon,” said Emperor Chu as a beam of light fell upon Luo Feng, encoding the Secret Technique of weapon cultivation into him.
Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, “The Ancestor decreed, even for a Direct Disciple, Merit Points must still be accumulated on one’s own.”
“Master has already done so much for his disciple,” Luo Feng was very grateful.
Each of the three gifts was of immense value.
“I am not adept at teaching disciples,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng, “I am not skilled in the Great Dao of Life Origin, so you will have to rely on yourself. As for the Great Dao of Destruction Origin… it just happens to be my path too. If you have any confusions, you can come and ask me.”
Luo Feng nodded, “Disciple understands.”
“Do you have any questions now?” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng.
“Not at the moment,” Luo Feng shook his head.
Joking to himself, his own cultivation of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin was still very low, not even reaching the top-tier standard of the Primal Chaos Realm. As he was still in a rapid growth phase, he decided to only inquire when truly faced with bottlenecks making progress difficult.
“Good,” Emperor Chu nodded with a smile, “As my Direct Disciple, there are many special missions you may choose from before they are assigned to members of the Imperial Clan and marquises.”
“Understood,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Go now, cultivate diligently, and become a Godly King soon. Among my disciples… none are yet Godly Kings,” Emperor Chu remarked with emotion.
“Disciple will surely strive,” Luo Feng bowed right away, “Disciple takes his leave.”
Luo Feng then promptly exited the grand hall.
Looking at the chaotic dimness outside the grand hall, Luo Feng felt somewhat exhilarated.
The ten ‘Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruits’ given by Master Emperor Chu, just smelling them benefited his great cultivation immensely. What wonders would actually consuming them perform? Since arriving in the Land of Origin, this was the first time he had encountered such a rare treasure!
Eager to begin, Luo Feng started his journey back, wanting to try one of the fruits first.
Inside the grand hall, Emperor Chu watched Luo Feng leave.
“My third Direct Disciple,” Emperor Chu watched and slightly shook his head, “It’s a pity that my ability is limited, unable to guide the disciple’s cultivation properly.”
Like ‘Emperor Qing’ among the thirteen Emperors, because his realm is high enough, even when teaching disciples of different paths, he could quickly pinpoint the problems of the disciples and guide them efficiently.
What about him, Emperor Chu? He could only provide precious resources! For the rest, he had to rely on the disciples themselves.
“What does taking disciples amount to?” Emperor Chu looked into the boundless universe beyond the grand hall, “This origin world will eventually meet its end. By then, how many can survive?”
“Even the Ancestor is advancing in darkness. Emperor Qing too has embarked on this path, and he may well assist the Ancestor in the future.”
“While we twelve are indeed strong enough in the Land of Origin, if we leave this origin world, what are we really worth?”
“And my disciples likely don’t even have the qualifications to leave the origin world.”
“Cherish the connections with them in this origin world,” Emperor Chu gently shook his head, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
