Chu Nation's Struggle for Supremacy: Di Chu Lineage

Di Chu Yu said, "After you become Di Chu Lineage, I will give you a Guest Elder Token, a cave abode, and ten attendants. This cave abode located in the capital city of Chu Capital and is quite valuable."

Luo Feng nodded. As the core of the Di Chu Lineage, Chu Capital was one of the few cities in the entire Origin Continent that was more prosperous than it.

The price of a single large cave abode here is probably more expensive than the entire Chaos A Zone of Huyang City combined.

"I know you don't care about these things," Di Chu Yu with a smile. "What you care about is inheritance and resources."

"What we idle cultivators lack is inheritance and resources," Luo Feng said.

Di Chu Yu said, "Brother Luo He, being able to cultivate to the peak of the Chaos Realm, should have one or two God-King level inheritances suitable for you. However... in my Yan Feng Ancient Nation, there are the best inheritances in the entire Origin Continent, and also the inheritances most suitable for you. Presumably, by obtaining a more suitable inheritance, Brother Luo He's strength is expected to advance even further!"

Di Chu Yu a surge of passion.

If Brother Luo He could take another step forward, not necessarily reaching the God-King level, but just reaching the 'Chaos Realm Transcendence' level, it would be of great help to him.

"I'm also quite looking forward to it," Luo Feng said.

The outside world believes that he is at the peak of the Chaos Realm and that he should have one or two suitable God-King level inheritances.

In reality, he was even poorer than outsiders suspected! He didn't even have a suitable God-King level inheritance. The "Lie Yuan Art" could be considered beyond the God-King level, but it wasn't an inheritance for cultivating the 'Great Dao,' but rather a secret technique of willpower.

What I need now is the inheritance of cultivation in the fundamental Dao. I am in dire need of both the Life Great Path and the Great Way of Destruction.

"Once we return to the Marquis's residence, I will immediately send Brother Luo He to select inheritance resources," Di Chu Yu said. "Each guest retainer has a free exchange quota of 100,000 merits. This is also a gift from the Di Chu Lineage to its guest retainers. As for more inheritances and resources, guest retainers will need to make merits; the greater the merits, the more resources they can exchange for."

"It is the most core and top-tier inheritance of my Di Chu Lineage. As long as you have enough merit, you can exchange it for it. Yan Feng Ancestor is also very kind to his guest elders," Di Chu Yu said.

Luo Feng had known this for a long time.

All other forces on the Origin Continent will be integrated into the Two Great Camps of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation and the Thunder Ancient Nation. And because of these Two Great Camps, their most precious heritages have indeed been opened up.

However, the credit required will be very high.

"Don't worry, I will arrange some tasks that will allow Brother Luo He to gain merit easily," Di Chu Yu with a smile. "The assignment of many tasks for the Di Chu Lineage is mainly decided by the First-Class Marquis."

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

Di Chu Yu was in a good mood.

The competition among the First-Class Marquis is fierce, and they can only get a few good tasks. They can usually only focus on cultivating one or two Chaos Realm guest elders! If the guest elder they choose is an ungrateful wretch, then they will be in trouble.

Di Chu Yu observed Luo Feng for a long time during his time in Huyang City, and only after determining Luo Feng's temperament did he decide to invest heavily in him.

"Boom~~~"

The Personal Guards' warships surrounded Marquis Chu Yu's large ship, heading together towards the Marquis's residence.

At this moment, on the top floor of a magnificent building in the capital of Chu Capital.

Two figures sat facing each other.

A carefree man sat leaning against the railing, holding a wine jug and glancing into the distance. His gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of space as he looked at the large ship of Marquis Chu Yu: "That newly appointed Marquis Chu Yu has returned to the Chu Capital."

"Marquis Chu Yu?" A handsome young man with three eyes also looked in that direction. "Marquis Chu Yu, who possesses the Infinite Divine Body, became First-Class Marquis as soon as he broke through to the Chaos Realm."

"Yes, another Infinite Divine Body." The unrestrained man shook his head and said, " Of the Seven First-Class Marquises, five are Infinite Divine Body. But I am not Infinite Divine Body."

"Chu Feng has an ordinary divine body, yet he has reached the peak of the Chaos Realm, which makes him even more remarkable," said the handsome three-eyed man.

The unrestrained and unconventional man was none other than the 'Chu Feng Marquis', one of the Seven First-Class Marquises of the Di Chu Lineage.

"Stop praising me."

Chu Feng Marquis drank his wine and sighed, "Cultivation has been a long and arduous process, yet it's difficult to make any further progress. Whether it's the Chaos Realm Transcendence level or the God King level, they are all very far away for me. The resources given by the Ancestor are limited. Before, there were six First-Class Marquis competing for them... Now there are Seven First-Class Marquises."

"Marquis Chu Yu has just broken through, and his strength and foundation are only average. He probably won't be able to compete with you, Chu Feng, in the early stages," said the handsome three-eyed man.

"He has an accomplice named Luo He, who is at the peak of the Chaos Realm." Chu Feng Marquis narrowed his eyes. "Even in the early stages, he would compete with me!"

"As newly ennobled marquises, they are not required to perform any missions for the first thirty epochs." The handsome three-eyed man hesitated. "This is also a form of protection provided by the Emperor for newly ennobled marquises, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Chu Feng Marquis put down his wine pot before saying, "Let's not talk about him anymore. By the way, when is Palace Master Yuan Xiu coming to the Chu Capital?"

"Senior Brother Yuan Xiu said he would come to Chu Capital to visit the God King, but no one knows when he will come," said the handsome three-eyed man.

"Once you find out he's coming to the Chu Capital, you must tell me immediately," said Chu Feng Marquis.

The handsome, three-eyed man nodded.

In the Di Chu Lineage, including the Imperial Clan's Chaos Realm, disciples of the Emperor, guest elders of the Chaos Realm, and idle Chaos Realm, there are only two people who have reached the Chaos Realm Transcendence. Their status is comparable to those who have just entered the God King level.

Palace Master Yuan Xiu was a Chaos Realm Transcendence! He cultivated a prison within his own divine body, named 'Dark Manor'. With a single thought, he could imprison the entire vast surrounding world within his inner prison! Naturally, he could also trap enemies within it.

Even ancient god-kings, once trapped in his internal prison, would need some time to escape.

With this method, even those who have just entered the God-King level are quite wary of him.

******

The Marquis Chu Yu Estate, as First-Class Marquis Estate, is approximately one billion kilometers long and wide.

Many members of the Marquis Chu Yu lineage, along with his Personal Guards and numerous servants, moved in. The Di Chu Lineage had multiplied for countless years, and its numbers were already enormous, with many members of the Imperial Clan family living in poverty.

Those who can truly live a luxurious life and have abundant resources are all high-ranking members of the Imperial Clan.

"Chu Yu, many members of the clan wish to pay their respects to you," the elegant woman said softly. "Should we meet them?"

"Let's have a banquet tonight and then celebrate together," Di Chu Yu said. "Brother Luo He and I have important matters to attend to."

With that, Di Chu Yu took Luo Feng and left.

Luo Feng could only smile apologetically.

"Mother," the eldest son said, watching his father and Great Sage Luo He leave. "Father just returned, and many elders from our Imperial Clan and the Wind Leaf Clan came to see him, yet Father treated him with such indifference..."

"Shut up."

The elegant woman gave her eldest son a cold look. "You fool, the matter between your father and the Great Sage Luo He is the most important thing in our Marquis's mansion."

"Oh," the eldest son replied.

The second and third brothers remained silent.

The main reason is that the mother dotes on the eldest child the most, so the eldest child is sometimes more unrestrained, while the second and third children are much more careful.

"The first guest advisor chosen by my manor is actually this Great Sage Luo He, whose background I know nothing about." The elegant woman frowned slightly. "My father is at the peak of the Chaos Realm and is the city lord of Wind Leaf City, yet he didn't invite my father..."

When she saw the black-clad man 'Great Sage Luo He' walking alongside her husband outside the city to greet him, she was somewhat annoyed.

In her opinion, it would be best if her husband and father, Wind Leaf City Lord, joined forces.

But her husband had already made his choice and submitted the application without consulting her, so there was nothing she could do.

"Luo Sa and Qing Yan, you two rest here for a while. Brother Chu Yu and I are going out for a bit," Luo Feng instructed. Moluo Sa and Mo Yu Qing Yan immediately obeyed and stayed in a separate courtyard of the Marquis's residence.

Marquis Chu Yu, accompanied by Luo Feng and a squad of personal guards, quietly left the Marquis's residence aboard what appeared to be an ordinary flying boat.

"The inheritance resources chosen by our guest elders are all within the Emperor's palace," Marquis Chu Yu said. "In fact, among the Thirteen Royal Lineages, the inheritances that any branch can choose are exactly the same, all left behind by the Yan Feng Ancestor. However, the resources that can be chosen are different. The resources that the Di Chu Lineage can choose are generally those bestowed by our Di Chu Lineage's ancestor."

Luo Feng was also somewhat looking forward to it.

Of the thirteen emperors of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation, the most renowned was Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing is the most powerful. According to all records of the Origin Continent, Emperor Qing has never encountered an opponent when he takes action.

Emperor Qing has a total of fifteen Direct Disciple, including six God Kings, eight Chaos Realm Transcendence, and one Chaos Realm cultivator! Emperor Qing Lineage is also the most powerful of the Thirteen Royal Lineages.

The other twelve meridians are not much different.

Luo Feng was already very satisfied with being able to join the 'Di Chu Lineage'.

"We've arrived at the Emperor Chu Palace." Marquis Chu Yu looked ahead.

I hadn't noticed it before, but when I got closer, I suddenly realized it.

A vast palace, seemingly blending into the chaos and darkness, exists here! On the surface, it appears to be about the same size as Huyang City. However, Luo Feng can sense that spacetime is folded, and the actual interior space is much larger.

"The Emperor Chu Palace is the place with the largest number of descendants of the Di Chu Lineage Imperial Clan family." Marquis Chu Yu led Luo Feng inside without any hindrance, and Luo Feng did not see any guards.

"The largest ethnic group?" Luo Feng looked around at the empty palace, not a single servant in sight.

"Our ancestor created numerous Small Universe within the Emperor Chu Palace," said Marquis Chu Yu. "Many useless members of the Imperial Clan were thrown into these Small Universe. They cultivated and multiplied within Small Universe. The environment of these Small Universe was harsh, and they were born extremely weak. Many of these members never became true gods in their lifetime."

Luo Feng was surprised.

He knew that, like his master Sitting Mountain Guest, in the Jin World, there were also some powerful Chaos Realm who would purchase Small Universe created by God Kings specifically to train subordinates.

Who would have thought that the ancestor of the Di Chu Lineage would be used to punish useless Imperial Clan? Once someone becomes too useless, they can only live in Small Universe for their entire life.

"The races thrown into the Small Universe, including their descendants, are only qualified to leave the Small Universe if they cultivate to become Eternal True God." Marquis Chu Yu sighed, "Those who can become Eternal True God in such harsh conditions will be given important positions after they come out."

Luo Feng could only sigh that this Imperial Clan.

"These juniors have no idea how terrifying the resources consumed by countless descendants are." No movement within the Emperor Chu Palace could escape the notice of the ancient being deep within the palace. He opened his eyes and looked at Di Chu Yu and Luo Feng.

"The best way is to throw 99% of the race into Small Universe," Emperor Chu thought. This was the first thing Emperor Xuan, one of the thirteen emperors of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation, did, and soon the other twelve emperors followed suit.

Throwing them into Small Universe would, firstly, save a significant amount of resources and alleviate the pressure on the emperors. Secondly, it would put enough pressure on the Imperial Clan family to prevent them from becoming complacent.

This ancient emperor merely glanced at Di Chu Yu and Luo Feng before closing his eyes and ignoring them.

The Emperor Chu Palace was vast and mysterious, like Time-Space Maze. Luo Feng arrived at a grand hall under the guidance of Di Chu Yu.

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

"I understand." Luo Feng had no interest in the secrets within the Emperor Chu Palace; he only cared about inheritance and resources.

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

"Go inside, I'll wait for you here," Di Chu Yu said.

Luo Feng nodded and immediately walked over.

As they approached the palace gate, the two statue guards slightly turned their heads, their eyes fixed on Luo Feng, Luo Feng felt a terrifying sense of death enveloping him.

"The strength of these statue guards far surpasses mine?" Luo Feng was secretly shocked. "Even with my five Transformation Method, I feel I can't stop them."

After glancing at it, the two statue guards returned to their original positions and continued to silently gaze ahead.

Luo Feng then stepped into the Inheritance Hall.
