Ancestor Arrives

In the northern part of Yan Feng Kingdom, within the Beijiu Chaos State, lies the city of Yinjiao. Yinjiao City, being a third-class large city in Yan Feng Kingdom, is comparable in size to Huyang City. The strength stationed here far surpasses that of cities in peripheral states.

The military power of this one city alone could easily sweep through the entire Jiujiang and Liuyin Chaos States.

"According to Luo Feng, his servant Morosa should arrive in Yinjiao City today." The Original Ancestor sat in a high-level room of a common tavern in the city, drinking alone as he observed the outside world. As the deputy general of the city guard, he had specifically taken leave.

The city guard had two shifts, allowing for rotation, as cultivation sometimes required extended periods of seclusion. With the Original Ancestor on leave, the other deputy general was handling the duties.

"Lord," the tavern attendant respectfully served some delicacies, displaying a very humble demeanor. An Eternal True God, and a deputy general of the city guard at that, was not someone these ordinary taverns could afford to offend.

The Original Ancestor sipped his wine and patiently waited.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura spread from the distance.

The Original Ancestor looked up to see a young man riding a serpentine beast, flying through Yinjiao City. Behind him, several personal guards followed in a flying vessel.

"That's the second son of the commander, 'General Yu,'" the Original Ancestor recognized. This youth was the most reckless and arrogant figure in the entire city.

The city was under the protection of a Chaos Realm guest official, responsible for guarding this border city. He had two sons; the eldest was apprenticed to a God King, while the younger was kept by his side.

"This is a Chaos Realm beast, controlled by secret techniques. I heard the commander paid a high price to obtain it from a God King specifically to serve as a mount for his son and to protect him," the Original Ancestor mused. A Chaos Realm beast used as a mount was enough to make any Eternal True God in the city envious, though none dared provoke this young General Yu, given the terrifying array of protective treasures he carried, including his mount.

"Uncle Han, I heard my father has come out of seclusion?" The excited young General Yu, who had rushed back from outside the city, asked his mount.

"Master has just come out of seclusion, young master. There's no need to rush," the serpentine beast responded telepathically. It had been thoroughly enslaved, its original ferocity long gone, allowing the commander to trust it with his son's protection.

"I want to show my father my hunt, Uncle Han, hurry up," the young General Yu urged.

The serpentine beast sped up slightly, darting twice, making it clear to the following guards as it reached the commander's residence.

"We struggle to obtain a single inheritance, but this General Yu gets to ride a Chaos Realm beast as a mount," some of the Eternal True Gods in the city sighed with envy.

"Accumulate merits slowly. With enough merits, you can still exchange for an inheritance."

Many Eternal True Gods in the city noticed this scene, filled with envy and jealousy.

This was just the son of a Chaos Realm guest official. The core members of Yan Feng Kingdom's royal family had resources that far exceeded this by countless times.

"I heard from Luo Feng that he has now also become a guest official of Yan Feng Kingdom," the Original Ancestor thought as he watched General Yu disappear from view. "The resources he can obtain are probably no less than those of the commander of Yinjiao City."

At this moment, the unassuming Morosa, accompanied by some personal guards, concealed his presence as they arrived at the tavern. This was the place where the Original Ancestor and Luo Feng had agreed to meet.

"The Original Ancestor?" Morosa, being a Chaos Realm existence, immediately identified the Original Ancestor within the tavern.

"You all wait here," Morosa instructed before silently entering the tavern.

The personal guards sent by Chu Yu could only wait outside. They still had no idea what their mission truly was, only that they were to follow the orders of this servant of Guest Official Luo He.

Inside the tavern.

The Original Ancestor suddenly turned his head as a familiar, unassuming figure pushed the door open.

"Morosa?" The Original Ancestor recognized him immediately; Luo Feng had already described Morosa's appearance in detail.

"Deputy General Yuan?" Morosa smiled slightly, "I am here under the orders of my master, Luo He."

The Original Ancestor smiled and nodded.

"We will leave Yinjiao City now," Morosa said.

"Shouldn't we inform the city guard first?" The Original Ancestor asked.

"The less commotion, the better. As for the handover, everything will be arranged properly," Morosa replied.

Morosa believed he was being extremely cautious with this mission, even keeping the personal guards in the dark about the final destination. However, given the fierce competition among the seven first-tier marquises of the Chu faction, one could never be too careful.

As long as they returned safely to Luo Feng's residence, everything would be fine.

Morosa said, "Deputy General Yuan, you'll need to stay in a spatial treasure temporarily."

"Haha, Luo He already mentioned that," the Original Ancestor stood up.

Morosa nodded, then with a wave of his hand, he placed the Original Ancestor into a spatial treasure he carried and silently left the tavern to regroup with the personal guards.

"Let's go."

Though the personal guards were confused, they followed orders and quietly departed.

If they encountered any obstacles, they would use the "First-Tier Marquis Token" to deal with it. If there were no obstacles, they would quietly leave.

Without anyone noticing, the Original Ancestor had quietly left Yinjiao City.

"Hmm? Why has Deputy General Yuan's identity token gone missing?"

The city guard, which could usually track the location of all its members, found that they could no longer trace Yuan's token.

Since Yuan was only a deputy general, the city guard merely reported the matter up the chain. The news would not reach the commander for some time.

The commander of Yinjiao City was currently with his second son.

"Hmm?" The commander suddenly received a message.

"First-Tier Marquis Chu Yu has applied for a transfer order to move the deputy general of the city guard, 'Yuan'?" The commander frowned slightly, "A First-Tier Marquis applying for a transfer order to move just a small deputy general?"

Once the order was approved by the royal family, it was set. The commander had no authority to oppose it.

In Yan Feng Kingdom, the royal family managed all aspects of the kingdom. Even the allocation of tasks was handled by the core of the royal family. No matter how prestigious a guest official might be, they only had the power to choose or reject tasks; they had no authority to interfere with the management of Yan Feng Kingdom.

Yuan had been transferred, and the commander had no right to oppose it, only to be informed.

"Investigate where Deputy General Yuan is," the commander ordered.

"His identity token cannot be tracked? He must have already left Yinjiao City?" The commander frowned slightly, "This Yuan must have an unusual identity. Chu Yu is likely worried that I might interfere."

Although officially the commander had no authority to stop the transfer, as a powerful Chaos Realm guest official, he naturally had the strength to obstruct it discreetly.

By the time the other first-tier marquises of the Chu faction noticed the transfer order, Yuan had already left Yinjiao City.

Five days later.

In Chu's capital, Morosa quietly returned to Luo Feng's residence.

"Master," Morosa reported, bringing the Original Ancestor with him.

Luo Feng, who had already come out to greet them, smiled when he saw the gray-robed man beside Morosa.

"Yuan," Luo Feng smiled, addressing him as they had agreed to call each other on the Origin Continent. The title "Original Ancestor" would immediately reveal the significance of the Original Ancestor to Luo Feng.

"Luo He," the Original Ancestor smiled back, also using the name Luo He.

"Master, everything went smoothly," Morosa reported.

Luo Feng nodded, "Very good. You've worked hard; go rest."

Morosa, understanding that his master and the Original Ancestor had things to discuss, noticed how much closer the Original Ancestor was to Luo Feng and quietly left.

"Yuan, follow me," Luo Feng immediately led the Original Ancestor to a quiet chamber, entering the Star Tower.

In one of the spaces within the Star Tower.

"Look," Luo Feng pointed ahead. Before them lay a vast array of items, including various inheritance manuals, rare treasures from heaven and earth, refined elixirs, and secret weapons and treasures. "These are the spoils I collected after defeating the Heart Shadow Sect. While they are of limited help to Chaos Realm beings, there are many treasures to aid Eternal True Gods in their cultivation."

The Heart Shadow Sect had a well-established system for cultivating elite disciples, naturally accumulating many rare treasures.

"So many?" The Original Ancestor noticed the many manuals for reaching the Chaos Realm. Although God King manuals were rare, Chaos Realm manuals were plentiful.

"I was diligently trying to accumulate merits in Yinjiao City, hoping to exchange them for a good inheritance," the Original Ancestor lamented. "Now I find myself with a heap of them right in front of me."

Luo Feng chuckled.

Previously, when he wanted to help the Original Ancestor, he had to first cultivate and learn an inheritance himself, then transmit it to the Original Ancestor in the Primordial Universe using a memory stone.

But now that they were both on the Origin Continent, the Original Ancestor could learn it directly.

"Yuan, you can choose freely from these resources," Luo Feng said.

"Resources still need to be carefully managed. Many of our future human descendants will be coming over," the Original Ancestor noted, looking at the vast resources before him. He had once been an ordinary Eternal True God and a low-ranking deputy general of the city guard. All his accumulated treasures didn't add up to a hundred thousand universe sands, yet here were treasures worth tens of billions.

Luo Feng smiled, "When the other human cultivators arrive, these treasures will indeed seem insignificant."

Not to mention, once he fully digested the first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform" and perfected his transformation techniques, he would be able to advance even further.

"Yuan, take your time cultivating here. Let me know if you need to leave," Luo Feng said.

"Go ahead, get busy," the Original Ancestor, now full of determination, replied, as he could now fully focus on exploring these inheritances and resources.

Luo Feng nodded and disappeared, returning to his own space within the Star Tower.

Luo Feng had interrupted his cultivation to meet the Original Ancestor. Now, he resumed his study of the first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform," particularly the "Chapter on the Spiritual Essence of Life." Previously, Luo Feng had studied Chaos Realm creatures and learned the basic use of life essence. However, the "Chapter on the Spiritual Essence of Life" documented all the mysteries of life essence and included numerous secret techniques for its use.

Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry to perfect his transformation techniques but instead focused on slowly learning and accumulating knowledge.
