Chapter 108: The Guest Minister

Outside the East Gate of Chu Capital, in the ancient Yanfeng Kingdom.

Elite troops were respectfully waiting outside the East Gate, with large ships and flying boats parked nearby, all eagerly anticipating.

"I heard that this newly appointed Marquis of Chu Yu was directly designated as a first-class marquis." On one of the flying boats, a group of royal and noble family members gathered, also waiting.

"Marquis Chu Yu is focused on comprehending the laws and possesses the Infinite God Body! With the potential and talent of the Infinite God Body, it's natural for him to be a first-class marquis upon breaking through." A royal family member said proudly.

"Uncle Chu Yu even gave me guidance in the past! With the Infinite God Body, his status in the clan is already special. Now that he has broken through to the Chaos Realm, he has directly become part of the core of our Di Chu lineage."

These royal family members all belonged to the Di Chu lineage and felt honored.

"Impressive."

"Marquis Chu Yu is truly remarkable."

The noble family members flattered him, as the royal family's thirteen branches were at the core of the Yanfeng Kingdom, far stronger than other noble families. As for Chaos Realm families, unless a "Chaos Realm Transcendence" being was born, they were ordinary and couldn't join the royal family's circle.

On another luxurious ship,

Two figures were drinking together, attended by maids.

"A first-class marquis is indeed different – granted a first-class marquis estate, a personal army, and his fiefdom is a 'first-class large city'." A chubby man sighed, "He even has the right to apply for two guest elders."

"And what about us? Our kind of third-class marquis has a small city as a fiefdom, a small cave mansion, and a few personal guards. We don't even have the qualification to apply for guest elders," the chubby man muttered.

The tall woman sitting next to him laughed heartily, "We follow the bloodline cultivation system, relying on bloodlines to reach the Chaos Realm. Afterwards, we must switch to cultivating the laws. Laws are too difficult for us. I only hope to advance further and become a second-class marquis in this life. As for a first-class marquis, I wouldn't even dare to dream of it."

"You still have hope; at least you're currently at the mid-level of the Chaos Realm. As for me..." The chubby man pointed to himself, "Including Marquis Chu Yu, there are a total of 29 marquis in the Di Chu lineage. There are only two with ordinary Chaos Realm strength, and I am one of them! I've been in the Chaos Realm for three thousand eras, yet I'm still just an ordinary Chaos Realm cultivator, too far from the top level of the Chaos Realm."

As the two marquis were chatting, they suddenly noticed the space-time in the distance tearing apart, forming a space-time tunnel.

"They're here," the two marquis said, their spirits lifted.

The marquis, royal family members, personal guards, and others who came to welcome them all looked at the space-time tunnel in the distance.

Five figures flew out from the space-time tunnel.

Di Chu Yu brought the deputy curator, and Luo Feng brought Moro Sa and Mo Yu Qingyan.

"Hmm? The man next to Marquis Chu Yu..."

"He's standing alongside Marquis Chu Yu, obviously Marquis Chu Yu greatly respects this black-clad man."

Everyone noticed Luo Feng, who was dressed in black.

"He's the Great Saint Luo He from Yu Country." Some well-informed marquis, royal family members, and others immediately identified Luo Feng upon seeing him.

"This Great Saint Luo He suppressed Marquis Liuyin in the Battle of Huyang City. His physical body is cultivated to an unbelievable level; he can step on the earth and touch the stars with his head!"

"He's a peak Chaos Realm existence."

"He's with Marquis Chu Yu... Could it be that Marquis Chu Yu's first chosen guest elder is him?"

Luo Feng and Di Chu Yu traveled along the space-time tunnel, directly arriving at the Chu Capital of the Yanfeng Kingdom from the distant Huyang City in Yu Country. This made Luo Feng quite emotional: "Space-time teleportation is indeed incredibly profound. I also need to rely on space-time treasures to perform a single space-time teleportation."

Chaos Realm cultivators almost never teleport through space-time on their own.

They all rely on treasures.

Space-time treasures that can be used for long-term teleportation are too valuable. What Luo Feng possessed was a one-time talisman, which was destroyed after use. A space-time teleportation talisman requires a Chaos Realm cultivator to activate and sells for 100 million universe sand. Even for Chaos Realm cultivators, it's only used in critical moments.

Emerging from the space-time tunnel, Luo Feng immediately saw the army outside the majestic city's East Gate, as well as the many large ships and flying boats that had come to welcome them.

"Greetings, Marquis!"

The army shouted in unison, respectfully saluting.

Di Chu Yu smiled slightly at the scene and said to Luo Feng beside him, "This is the personal army I was granted after becoming a Chaos Realm cultivator. They are all elite troops cultivated by our Di Chu lineage."

Luo Feng saw that this personal army consisted of a thousand Eternal True Gods and a vast number of Void True Gods. Even outside the city, under the command of the army formation leader, they naturally acted as one, and their power was much more imposing than the army formation of Marquis Jiujiang or the Heart Shadow Sect army.

In the Yanfeng Kingdom, this elite personal army was enough to sweep across the Heart Shadow Sect army and the army formation of Marquis Jiujiang.

"Father!" "Father!"

Before the army formation, a dignified woman led three youths, looking excitedly at Di Chu Yu. Their father had been traveling and cultivating outside, and he had actually become a Chaos Realm cultivator, and even a first-class one!

Second-class marquis had many more resources.

Only first-class marquis could access the real core resources of the entire Origin Continent. There was also fierce competition among them.

"As a guest elder, the threshold for obtaining resources is much higher than that of a first-class marquis." Luo Feng knew this. The Yanfeng Kingdom focused on cultivating their royal family's first-class marquis, who were the absolute elite.

Guest elders were more of an exchange relationship.

Guest elders served the ancient kingdom! They earned merit in exchange for some resources. Therefore, the resources they obtained were naturally far less than those of a first-class marquis.

After dealing with the many marquis, Di Chu Yu finally boarded the large ship with Luo Feng.

On the large ship,

The lady and her three children had gone to the back, while Di Chu Yu and Luo Feng sat in the front hall, looking at the East Gate ahead.

"Those who came to greet us are mostly second-class and third-class marquis," Di Chu Yu explained, "Our Di Chu lineage has three God Kings. The God Kings are high above and naturally won't handle trivial matters. Many affairs are handled and decided by us first-class marquis."

"So they're here to curry favor with you," Luo Feng understood.

First-class marquis in the royal family were either Infinite God Body Chaos Realm cultivators or peak Chaos Realm strength cultivators. Meeting either requirement qualified one to become a first-class marquis.

Of course, this was the requirement for royal family members.

For casual cultivators like Luo Feng, becoming a guest elder was a troublesome matter.

"I've already applied for your guest elder status," Di Chu Yu said with a smile, "Under normal circumstances, it will be approved."

"Under what circumstances would it not be approved?" Luo Feng asked. "One, insufficient strength. Two, problematic identity," Di Chu Yu said with a smile, "You have peak Chaos Realm strength, so your strength is definitely sufficient. As for your identity... your identity is definitely not a problem."

The large ship flew past the vast East Gate of Chu Capital, and the personal army also entered.

"How are you so sure that my identity isn't a problem?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

"Our Yanfeng Kingdom doesn't really care about the origins of guest elders, whether they are guilty of heinous crimes, possess extreme luck, or are entangled in numerous terrible karmic connections. The Yanfeng Kingdom doesn't care about any of that! As long as one thing is confirmed: they are not an alien race," Di Chu Yu said.

"Alien race?" Luo Feng asked.

"That is, life from outside the cage," Di Chu Yu said, "The inheritance resources of our Yanfeng Kingdom can be passed on to any life within the cage, but they will never be passed on to alien races."

Luo Feng was secretly surprised. Alien race?

"When we entered Chu Capital, it meant that you were life within the cage," Di Chu Yu explained, "This Chu Capital was personally refined by the ancestor of our Yanfeng Kingdom, as a gift to the Emperor. Any alien race entering this city will be discovered!"

Luo Feng marveled.

The most mysterious and terrifying existence in the Yanfeng Kingdom was the Yanfeng Ancestor, followed by the thirteen Emperors!

"Hmm?" Di Chu Yu suddenly smiled, "As soon as you entered the city, after confirming that your identity wasn't a problem, your guest elder application was approved. You are now officially a guest elder of our Di Chu lineage. Congratulations, Brother Luo He!"

Luo Feng smiled, "Thank you, Brother Chu Yu."
