Chapter 109: The Lineage of Emperor Chu

Emperor Chu Yu said, "After becoming a guest elder of my Emperor Chu lineage, you will be given a guest elder token, a cave abode, and ten attendants. This cave abode is also located within the Chu capital city and is extremely valuable."

Luo Feng nodded. As the core of the Emperor Chu lineage, Chu capital city was one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Origin Continent. The price of a large cave abode here was probably more expensive than all the Chaos-class areas in Huyang City combined.

"I know you don't care about these things," Emperor Chu Yu said with a smile. "What you care about are inheritances and resources."

"We idle cultivators lack inheritances and resources," Luo Feng said.

Emperor Chu Yu said, "Brother Luo He has cultivated to the Chaos pinnacle level and should have one or two God-Monarch-level inheritances suitable for him. However... in my Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, we have the best inheritances in the entire Origin Continent, as well as the most suitable inheritances for you. Presumably, by obtaining a more suitable inheritance, Brother Luo He's strength has the potential to improve further!"

Emperor Chu Yu's heart was also somewhat fervent. If Brother Luo He could take a further step, even if he didn't reach the God-Monarch level, as long as he reached the 'Chaos Realm Transcendence' level, the benefit to him would be immense!

"I am also quite expectant," Luo Feng said.

The outside world believed that he was at the Chaos Realm pinnacle and that he should have one or two suitable God-Monarch-level inheritances. But in reality, he was even poorer than the outside world guessed! He didn't have a single suitable God-Monarch-level inheritance. The *Lieyuan Art* could be considered to surpass the God-Monarch level, but it wasn't an inheritance for cultivating the Great Dao; it was a secret technique for willpower. What he needed now was an inheritance for cultivating the fundamental source of the Great Dao. He was in urgent need of inheritances in the direction of the Life Great Dao and the Destruction Great Dao.

"After returning to the Marquis's mansion, I will immediately send Brother Luo He to choose inheritance resources," Emperor Chu Yu said. "Every guest elder has a free exchange quota of 100,000 merits. This is also a gift from the Emperor Chu lineage to its guest elders. As for more inheritances and resources, guest elders need to earn merits. The more merits you earn, the more resources you can exchange for."

"Even the most core and top-tier inheritances of my Emperor Chu lineage can be exchanged for as long as you have enough merits. The Yanfeng Ancestor is also very benevolent to the guest elders," Emperor Chu Yu said.

Luo Feng had already learned about this. Other forces throughout the Origin Continent would integrate into the two major camps of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. It was also because of these two major camps that they had indeed opened up the most valuable inheritances. It was just that the merits required would be very high.

"Rest assured, I will arrange some easy-to-obtain merit missions for Brother Luo He," Emperor Chu Yu said with a smile. "The arrangement of various missions in the Emperor Chu lineage is mainly decided by the first-rank Marquises."

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Chu Yu," Luo Feng said.

Emperor Chu Yu was in a good mood. The first-rank Marquises were in fierce competition, and the good missions they could each obtain were not many. They could generally only focus on cultivating one or two Chaos Realm guest elders! If the chosen guest elder was an ungrateful wretch, it would be troublesome. Emperor Chu Yu had observed Luo Feng for a long time in the Huyang City era and had determined Luo Feng's temperament before deciding to invest heavily in him.

*Boom!*

The warships of the Imperial Guard, surrounding Marquis Chu Yu's large ship, headed towards the Marquis's mansion together.

At this moment, at the top floor of a majestic building in Chu capital city, two figures sat facing each other.

One man, unrestrained and unconventional, leaned against the railing, took a swig from his wine gourd, and glanced into the distance. His gaze penetrated the spatial barriers as he looked at Marquis Chu Yu's large ship: "That newly promoted Marquis Chu Yu has returned to Chu capital city."

"Marquis Chu Yu," a delicate man with three eyes said, also looking in that direction. "Marquis Chu Yu, who possesses an infinite divine body, became a first-rank Marquis as soon as he broke through to the Chaos Realm."

"Yes, another infinite divine body," the unrestrained man shook his head and said. "Five out of the seven first-rank Marquises have infinite divine bodies. But I am not."

"Brother Chu Feng has an ordinary divine body, yet he has reached the Chaos pinnacle level. That is even more remarkable," the delicate three-eyed man said.

The unrestrained man was 'Marquis Chu Feng', one of the seven first-rank Marquises of the Emperor Chu lineage.

"Don't flatter me," Marquis Chu Feng said as he drank his wine, sighing. "I have cultivated for endless years, yet it is difficult to take another step forward. Whether it is the Chaos Realm Transcendence level or the God-Monarch level, they are both very distant to me. The resources given by the Ancestor are only so much. Previously, there were six first-rank Marquises competing... now there are seven."

"Marquis Chu Yu has just broken through, and his strength and foundation are generally ordinary. He shouldn't be able to compete with you, Brother Chu Feng, in the early stages," the delicate three-eyed man said.

"He has a helper called Luo He, who is at the Chaos pinnacle level," Marquis Chu Feng said, squinting his eyes. "Even in the early stages, he will compete with me!"

"As a newly conferred Marquis, he doesn't need to perform any missions for the first thirty eras," the delicate three-eyed man hesitated and said. "This is also a kind of protection from the Emperor for newly conferred Marquises. There is not much we can do."

Marquis Chu Feng put down his wine gourd and said, "Let's not mention him. By the way, when is Palace Master Yuanxiu coming to Chu capital city?"

"Senior Brother Yuanxiu said that he would come to Chu capital city to pay his respects to the God-Monarch. No one can say when he will come," the delicate three-eyed man said.

"Once you know he is coming to Chu capital city, you must tell me as soon as possible," Marquis Chu Feng said.

The delicate three-eyed man nodded.

The Emperor Chu lineage, including the imperial family's Chaos Realms, the Emperor's disciples, the Chaos Realm guest elders, and idle Chaos Realms... only had two who reached the Chaos Realm Transcendence level. Their status was comparable to those who had just entered the God-Monarch level. Palace Master Yuanxiu was a Chaos Realm Transcendence existence! He cultivated a prison within his own divine body called 'Dark Prison'. In an instant, he could imprison the surrounding vast and boundless world into his body prison! Naturally, he could also trap enemies in the prison. Even ancient God-Monarchs, when trapped inside his body prison, would take some time to escape. With this method, existences who had just entered the God-Monarch level were quite wary of him.

Marquis Chu Yu's mansion, as a first-rank Marquis's mansion, was about a billion kilometers long and wide. The many clansmen, Imperial Guard, and a large number of servants of Marquis Chu Yu's lineage moved in. The Emperor Chu lineage had reproduced for endless years, and the number was already very large. Many imperial clansmen lived in straitened circumstances. Only the high-level members of the imperial family could truly live in luxury and have abundant resources.

"Chu Yu, there are many within the clan who wish to pay their respects to you," a graceful woman said softly. "Do you want to meet them?"

"Let's hold a banquet in the evening and invite them all together," Emperor Chu Yu said. "Brother Luo He and I have important matters to attend to."

As he said this, Emperor Chu Yu left with Luo Feng. Luo Feng could only give an apologetic smile.

"Mother," the eldest son said as he watched his father and Great Saint Luo He leave. "Father has just returned, and many elders from our imperial clan and the Fengye clan have come to see him, yet Father is so neglectful..."

"Shut up," the graceful woman glared coldly at her eldest son. "You fool, your father and Great Saint Luo He's affairs are the most important matters of our Marquis's mansion."

"Oh," the eldest son responded.

The second and third sons didn't say anything on the side. The main reason was that their mother favored the eldest, and the eldest was sometimes more unrestrained. The second and third sons were more cautious.

"The first guest elder chosen by our Marquis's mansion is actually this Great Saint Luo He, whose origin and background are unknown," the graceful woman frowned slightly. "My father is at the Chaos Realm pinnacle and is the City Lord of Fengye City, yet he doesn't invite my father..."

When she saw the black-clad man, Great Saint 'Luo He', walking side by side with her husband when they welcomed him outside the city, she was somewhat annoyed. In her view, it would be excellent if her husband and her father, City Lord Fengye, joined hands. But her husband had already made his choice and had brought Luo Feng to the Marquis's manor without consulting her.

Emperor Chu Yu took Luo Feng along a long corridor. As they walked, he explained, "Luo He, my Emperor Chu lineage has been born and multiplied for countless years, and we have countless clansmen. Most of them live in small universes..."

"Small universes?" Luo Feng was puzzled.

"The Chaos Realm is dangerous, and there are many battles. With the imperial family expanding for endless years, we would have been completely impoverished long ago if we continued to support them," Emperor Chu Yu sighed. "Every member of my imperial clan, including their descendants, only has the right to leave the small universe once they cultivate to the Eternal True God."

"Eternal True God..." Luo Feng understood, a truly powerful being.

"The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom has thirteen Emperors, and each Emperor has control over many small universes. The most powerful members of the Emperor Chu lineage are all within my father's control, in the small universes. Their survival depends on their own strength. The stronger they are, the more resources they can obtain," Emperor Chu Yu explained. "Those who can become Eternal True Gods in such a harsh environment will be heavily utilized after they come out."

Luo Feng could only lament that this Ancestor was ruthless enough to his imperial family descendants.

"These juniors don't know how terrifying the consumption of resources by countless descendants is," any movement within the Emperor Chu Palace could not escape the notice of the ancient being deep within the palace. He opened his eyes at this moment, looking at Emperor Chu Yu and Luo Feng.

"The best way is to throw 99.9% of the clansmen into small universes," Emperor Chu thought. This was the first thing 'Emperor Xuan', one of the thirteen Emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, had done, and the other twelve Emperors immediately followed suit. Throwing them into small universes could greatly save resources and reduce the pressure on the Emperors. It could also give the imperial clansmen enough pressure, preventing them from becoming complacent.

This ancient Emperor only glanced at Emperor Chu Yu and Luo Feng before closing his eyes again, no longer paying attention to them.

The Emperor Chu Palace was vast and mysterious, like a spacetime maze. Luo Feng only arrived at a large hall under the guidance of Emperor Chu Yu.

"Next time, just follow the same route to this Inheritance Hall," Emperor Chu Yu said. "Don't stray into other places. Once you get lost, you might end up in some forbidden area."

"I understand," Luo Feng said. He had no interest in the secrets within the Emperor Chu Palace. He only cared about inheritances and resources.

Luo Feng looked at the hall in front of him. The hall was simple and unadorned, with two statues guarding the door.

"Go in. I'll wait for you here," Emperor Chu Yu said.

Luo Feng nodded and immediately walked over.

As he approached the hall door, the two statue guards slightly turned their heads, their eyes fixed on Luo Feng. Luo Feng felt a great terror of death enveloping him.

"The strength of these statue guards far exceeds mine," Luo Feng was secretly shocked. "Even with my five transformation techniques, I feel like I can't stop them."

The two statue guards glanced at him and then returned to their original positions, continuing to silently look ahead.

Only then did Luo Feng completely enter the Inheritance Hall.
