**In the northern part of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, within Yinjiu City, Beijiu Chaos State.**
Yinjiu City, a large third-class city of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, was comparable in size to Huyang City. The strength stationed here far exceeded that of cities in peripheral kingdoms.
The military power of this single city was enough to sweep through Jiugang Chaos State and Liu Yin Chaos State.
“According to Luo Feng, his servant Morosa should arrive in Yinjiu City today.” In an ordinary tavern in the city, Yuanzu sat alone on the upper floor, drinking wine while watching the outside world.
As the deputy general of the city guard, Yuanzu had specifically taken leave.
The city guard operated in two shifts, allowing members to take turns. After all, closed-door cultivation sometimes required long periods. With Yuanzu on leave, the duties were covered by another deputy general.
“Lord Divine,” a tavern attendant respectfully brought some delicacies, his demeanor extremely humble.
To a simple tavern, an Eternal True God who was also a deputy general of the city guard was a figure too formidable to offend.
Yuanzu sipped his wine, eating the delicacies as he patiently waited.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura spread from afar.
Yuanzu looked up to see a young man riding a serpentine beast, flying within Yinjiu City. Following him were some guards on a flying boat.
“It’s the second son of the city’s guardian, General Yu,” Yuanzu immediately recognized the young man as the most unruly figure in Yinjiu City.
The guardian of Yinjiu City was a Chaos Realm guest elder responsible for defending this frontier city.
He had two children. The elder son was apprenticed to a God King, while the younger son remained by his side.
“That’s a Chaos Realm beast, controlled by secret techniques. It’s said the guardian spent a significant amount to obtain it from a God King specifically as a mount for his son and as a bodyguard to keep him safe,” Yuanzu thought with some envy.
A Chaos Realm beast used as a mere mount—who among the Eternal True Gods in the city wouldn’t be envious? And who would dare provoke this young General Yu? After all, his protective treasures were numerous, and the mount itself was terrifying.
“Uncle Han, I heard my father has come out of seclusion?” The young General Yu, excited, urged his mount as he rushed back from outside the city.
“Master has just exited seclusion; there’s no need for Young Master to hurry,” the serpentine beast replied telepathically. It had been thoroughly subdued, its original ferocity long gone, so the guardian felt safe entrusting his son’s protection to it.
“I want Father to see my spoils! Uncle Han, hurry up!” The young General Yu urged.
The serpentine beast accelerated slightly, making two quick leaps, ensuring the guards behind could see it arrive at the guardian’s mansion.
“We strive for a single inheritance but can’t obtain it. Meanwhile, this General Yu can ride a Chaos Realm beast.”
“Keep accumulating merit. With enough, we can still exchange for inheritances.”
Many Eternal True Gods in the city noticed this scene, but all they could do was envy.
And this was just the son of a Chaos Realm guest elder. The resources available to the core members of the Flame Wind Kingdom’s royal family were exponentially greater.
“I heard from Luo Feng that he is now also a guest elder of the Ancient Flame Kingdom,” Yuanzu mused as he watched General Yu disappear from view. “The resources he can access must be no less than those of Yinjiu City’s guardian.”
At this moment, the sturdy figure of Morosa, accompanied by some guards, arrived discreetly at the tavern.
This was the location Yuanzu and Luo Feng had agreed upon.
“Yuanzu?” Morosa, being a Chaos Realm existence, instantly identified Yuanzu within the tavern.
“You all wait here,” Morosa instructed before quietly entering the tavern.
The guards sent by Marquis Chu Yu waited outside.
To this point, they still had no idea what the purpose of their mission was, only that they were to follow the orders of this servant of Guest Elder Luo He.
Yuanzu suddenly turned as the sturdy figure entered.
“Morosa?” Yuanzu recognized him instantly. Luo Feng had already provided a detailed description of Morosa’s appearance, so Yuanzu recognized him at a glance.
“Deputy General Yuan?” Morosa smiled slightly. “I am here on the orders of my master, Luo He.”
Yuanzu nodded with a smile.
“We need to leave Yinjiu City now,” Morosa said.
“No handover with the city guard?” Yuanzu asked.
“The quieter, the better. The handover will be arranged,” Morosa replied.
Morosa believed their actions were very cautious. Even the guards he led didn’t know their final destination. However, competition among the seven first-class marquises of the Emperor Chu lineage was intense, so being overly cautious was necessary.
As long as they safely returned to Luo Feng’s residence, everything would be fine.
“You’ll need to temporarily stay inside a spatial treasure,” Morosa said.
“Haha, Luo He already told me,” Yuanzu said, standing up.
Morosa nodded and then waved his hand, storing Yuanzu inside the spatial treasure he carried, after which he silently left the tavern and rejoined the guards.
Though puzzled, the guards followed orders and quietly left.
If they encountered any obstacles, the guards would use the first-class marquis token to deal with them. If there were no obstacles, they would quietly depart.
Without anyone noticing, Yuanzu quietly left Yinjiu City.
“Hmm? Why has Deputy General Yuan’s identity token disappeared?”
The city guard had the ability to track the location of all its members, but Yuanzu’s identity token was suddenly untraceable.
Since it was just a deputy general, the city guard only reported the issue immediately, though it would take some time before the news reached the guardian.
The guardian of Yinjiu City was with his younger son when he suddenly received a message.
“A royal first-class marquis, Marquis Chu Yu, has applied for a transfer order to reassign Deputy General Yuan from the city guard?” The guardian frowned slightly. “A first-class marquis applying to transfer a mere deputy general?”
Such orders, once approved by the royal family, were final. The guardian himself had no authority to oppose them.
In the Ancient Flame Kingdom, the royal family managed all aspects of the kingdom, including the assignment of tasks. Even the most esteemed guest elders had the right only to accept or decline tasks; they had no say in the kingdom’s governance.
With Yuan transferred, the guardian had no choice but to accept the situation and be informed of it.
“Find out where Deputy General Yuan is,” the guardian ordered.
“His identity token cannot be tracked? It seems he’s already left Yinjiu City,” the guardian frowned slightly. “This Yuan must have an unusual background. Marquis Chu Yu likely feared I’d interfere.”
Though officially powerless to prevent the transfer, as a powerful Chaos Realm guest elder, the guardian could have covertly obstructed the process.
By the time the other first-class marquises of the Emperor Chu lineage became aware of the transfer order, Yuanzu had already left Yinjiu City.
In Chu Capital, Morosa quietly returned to Luo Feng’s residence.
“Master.” Morosa brought Yuanzu to report on the mission.
Luo Feng, having already emerged from seclusion to greet them, smiled when he saw the gray-robed man walking alongside Morosa.
“Yuan,” Luo Feng said with a smile. The two had already agreed on how they would address each other on the Origin Continent. The title “Yuanzu” would immediately alert outsiders to Yuanzu’s significance to Luo Feng.
“Luo He,” Yuanzu replied with a smile, addressing Luo Feng by his chosen name.
“Master, everything went smoothly,” Morosa reported.
Luo Feng nodded, “Excellent. You’ve done well. Go and rest for now.”
Understanding that his master and Yuanzu had matters to discuss and sensing the close bond between them, Morosa quietly took his leave.
“Yuan, follow me,” Luo Feng said, leading Yuanzu to a secluded chamber within the Star Tower.
Inside one of the layers of space within the Star Tower.
“Look.” Luo Feng gestured to a vast collection of items stored before them, including inheritances, rare treasures, refined elixirs, and weapons. “These are spoils from my defeat of the Heart Shadow Sect. While they may not be of much help to a Chaos Realm being, they are highly valuable for aiding the cultivation of Eternal True Gods.”
The Heart Shadow Sect had invested heavily in training its elite disciples, so it naturally had an abundance of rare treasures and resources.
“So many?” Yuanzu marveled at the numerous texts on Chaos Realm cultivation. While God King-level texts were rare, there were plenty of Chaos Realm texts.
“I worked diligently in Yinjiu City, trying to accumulate enough merit to exchange for a good inheritance,” Yuanzu sighed. “But now, there’s a pile of them right in front of me.”
Previously, when he wanted to help Yuanzu, he would have had to master an inheritance himself and then use a memory stone to transmit it to Yuanzu back in the Primal Universe region of their home.
Now that they were both on the Origin Continent, Yuanzu could learn directly.
“Feel free to choose from these resources,” Luo Feng said.
“These resources should be used wisely; many of our human juniors will eventually come here,” Yuanzu said, gazing at the vast resources. Previously, as a mere Eternal True God and a
minor deputy general in the city guard, his total accumulated wealth didn’t exceed 100,000 cosmos sand. The treasures before him were worth tens of billions of cosmos sand.
Luo Feng smiled, “When other human cultivators arrive, these treasures will be insignificant.”
Just focusing on the **First Tribulation of the Eight Tribulations Life Form** and perfecting his transformation techniques would be enough to elevate himself further.
“Yuan, you can cultivate here at your leisure. Let me know if you need to go out,” Luo Feng said.
“Go ahead with your business,” Yuanzu said, filled with a renewed sense of purpose. The vast array of inheritances and resources before him gave him plenty to study and utilize.
Luo Feng nodded and disappeared, returning to his own layer of the Star Tower.
Luo Feng had specifically interrupted his cultivation to meet with Yuanzu.
Now, he continued his study of the **Life Spirit Chapter** of the First Tribulation of the **Eight Tribulations Life Form**. Previously, Luo Feng had learned the basics of life spirit manipulation through his study of Chaos Realm beings. However, the **Life Spirit Chapter** comprehensively documented all the mysteries of the Life Spirit branch, along with numerous secret techniques.
Luo Feng didn’t rush to perfect his transformation techniques; instead, he focused on steadily learning and accumulating knowledge.
