Marquis Chu Yu's Scheme

Origin Continent, within the Skypeak Ice Field lies a vast territory known as the 'Black Sky World'. For countless ages, this place has been shrouded in a vast expanse of black clouds. The area obscured by these black clouds is almost comparable to the entire territory of second-rate kingdoms like the Yu Country and the Food Country.

"Luo He?"

Deep within the black clouds, a winged figure lurks.

"This Luo He is quite bold. He must have guessed that there is a God-King behind the strange beast, yet he still doesn't give me any face?" The winged figure pondered. "The Marquis Chu Yu he follows is a newly promoted First-Class Marquis! The struggle for First-Class Marquis in the Di Chu Lineage is brutal. It won't be long before Luo He gets into trouble."

"Let's wait for the right opportunity to strike." The winged figure had lived for countless years, and had become increasingly cautious in his actions.

Those who reach the peak of the Chaos Realm can retain their complete memories in their reincarnations.

Even he wouldn't want to easily incur a great grudge.

But he knew very well that secretly pushing things along at crucial moments could put some powerful people in dire straits.

"I have secretly enslaved this beast; I have never made it public."

"This time, when the alien beast exposed its identity, I also used Secret Method to conceal the cause and effect. There are only a handful of people in the entire Origin Continent who can trace me back to me..." The winged figure pondered, "The 'Emperor Qing' of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation and the current emperor 'Di Fu' are both skilled at probing cause and effect, and they can both find out my identity."

"However, the Sky Tune Mine that I targeted is territory controlled by the Di Chu Lineage. Emperor Chu wouldn't ask Emperor Qing and Di Fu for help over such a small theft."

Long ago, the winged figure was also a guest elder of the Chaos Realm in the Yan Feng Ancient Nation. In that era, he was even a being at the 'Chaos Realm Transcendence' level.

Later, he became a God King, and his strength naturally became more and more profound, so he left the Yan Feng Ancient Nation.

Many god- Royal Capital established their own kingdoms or powers, believing themselves to be strong enough to stand firm in this world, making them extremely difficult to destroy. The Sitting Mountain Guest, too, believed he was more than capable of protecting himself and dealing with most dangers on the Origin Continent. He never imagined the Food Country Lord would be so reckless.

"The Yan Feng Ancient Nation and the Thunder Ancient Nation occupy the core territory of the entire Origin Continent. They have almost monopolized all kinds of treasures. What does it matter if I take a little bit? After all, they are rare treasures born of heaven and earth." The winged figure thought, "The other beasts have not yet been exposed."

"Buzz".

His winged figure merged into the endless black clouds, which were his true form.

The entire Black Sky World, shrouded in black clouds, is home to countless Xing Zhe and exotic beasts. Every time a Chaos Realm beast is born, it is quietly enslaved by him. Afterward, he sends it to the Two Great Ancient Nations to steal some Heaven and Earth Treasures.

******

The Chu Capital, the Marquis Chu Yu Estate.

"Brother Chu Yu," Luo Feng told him, explaining the details of the mission.

Di Chu Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this. "This Chaos Realm beast is something that has never been recorded in the intelligence. It must have been captured and enslaved shortly after it was conceived. We don't know who its master is."

"Those who dare to send exotic beasts to steal Heaven and Earth Treasures in the Yan Feng Ancient Nation are either powerful enough to not fear the investigation of my Di Chu Lineage, or they are powerful figures within my Imperial Clan." Di Chu Yu knew very well that the ones who stole the most treasures were the many Marquis within the Imperial Clan.

The competition among the Marquis was fierce, and when they couldn't obtain enough resources through competition, they resorted to crooked means.

"If you can find out the exact identity of this strange beast, your mission is already a success," Di Chu Yu smile. "As for the rest, there's no need to worry about it. Whether the beast is backed by the Imperial Clan Marquis or some ancient being, it's not appropriate for you to get involved."

Luo Feng nodded. "After that strange beast died, there were no Weapon Secret Treasure, only some Tianqu Stone Essence."

He waved his hand as he spoke.

There were pieces of Tianqu Stone Essence, each about half a person's height, and a pile of Tianqu Stone Essence granules.

"A total of twenty-three pieces of Tianqu Stone Essence, plus some fragments," Luo Feng said.

"That strange beast should periodically deliver some of the stolen Tianqu Stone Essence to its master." Marquis Chu Yu glanced at it. "A little over twenty-three pieces, worth more than twenty-three thousand merits. You can keep it! All the spoils from missions are yours."

Luo Feng nodded and put it away.

The merits of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation are very valuable, and Universe Sand cannot be exchanged for merits.

According to Luo Feng's understanding, a complete piece of Tianqu Stone Essence requires 1,000 merit points to exchange. However, purchasing it from the outside world would cost nearly 300 million Universe Sand. This price is fluctuating because Tianqu Stone Essence willing to be sold is very rare.

"By the way, I've done some research on the perfect-level 'Chaos Layer Creature' materials you need," Di Chu Yu said. "Our Yan Feng Ancient Nation should have seven of them. Six are in the hands of the God King, and one is in the hands of the 'Wu Huang Marquis.' The Wu Huang Marquis is from the 'Emperor Wu' lineage... and has a very bad relationship with our Di Chu Lineage."

"I need to put in more effort; it will probably take quite a while to get my hands on the materials for these Chaos Layer creatures." Di Chu Yu also felt the difficulty.

"If you can't have it, so be it. There's no need to force it," Luo Feng said.

Because the first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform" lacks a recorded Transformation Method, Luo Feng needs to continuously refine this Transformation Method on his own. Currently, Luo Feng has made significant progress in 'Life Spirituality,' but Luo Feng also realizes...

The life structures of the Chaos Layer creatures I captured were too simple, with a relatively low potential. And deducing more complex life structures from scratch was far too difficult.

Luo Feng naturally hoped to obtain some more perfect Chaos Layer creatures to study their life structure.

But now it seems that even for Di Chu Yu, obtaining it will be very difficult.

"Take your time," Di Chu Yu a smile. "I haven't been First-Class Marquis for long. As I make more and more friends, I'll find a way. In my Yan Feng Ancient Nation, there are seven perfect-level Chaos Layer creatures. I refuse to believe that I can't get even one type of material."

Di Chu Yu well aware that the thirty epochs after reaching the Chaos Realm were a protection period with no mandatory tasks, giving him ample time to grow.

Once the protection period ends, he will face the same competitive environment as the other six First-Class Marquis, and he will need the help of Guest Elder Luo He.

Time passed, and Luo Feng had been in the Chu Capital for more than three decades.

He was focused on comprehending the inheritance of the first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform". The inheritance was vast and boundless. Luo Feng absorbed the knowledge and constantly tried to improve the Transformation Method.

Inside an elegant pavilion, Marquis Chu Yu sat facing a woman clad in crimson armor.

"Marquis Chu Yu, rest assured. As long as the 'North Sea Beast Forest' is under my control, I will definitely get you the materials for the perfect-level 'Chaos Layer Creatures' you need." The woman in crimson armor smiled brightly, full of confidence.

"Of course I believe the promise of the Refining Jade City Lord," Marquis Chu Yu said with a smile. "The Refining Jade City Lord should receive the appointment soon."

The woman in crimson armor and Marquis Chu Yu drank and chatted.

Moment.

"Hmm?" The woman in crimson armor showed delight. She had received a mission from the Imperial Clan, instructing her to oversee the North Sea Beast Forest for ten thousand years.

She accepted the task without hesitation.

"Marquis Chu Yu indeed a man of his word." The woman in crimson armor immediately stood up. "I will go and beg my father right away! I will definitely bring you the materials you need within three days."

Marquis Chu Yu stood up. "Thank you for your help Refining Jade City Lord."

Besides the Imperial Clan's God-Kings, the Yan Feng Ancient Nation also has some guest God-Kings. These guest God- Royal Capital completely integrated into the Yan Feng Ancient Nation, and some have even been granted fiefdoms, with their Lineage descendants multiplying within the Yan Feng Ancient Nation.

The father of this Refining Jade City Lord was the 'Sky Capital King' who was granted a fiefdom by the Yan Feng Ancient Nation.

The Yan Feng Ancient Nation looks down on ordinary god-kings, and those ordinary god-kings are not qualified to obtain fiefdoms in the Yan Feng Ancient Nation!

This Sky Capital King was Direct Disciple of the Yan Feng Ancestor, and he addressed the Emperors as fellow disciples. He was an extraordinary being.

The Lord of Refining Jade City Lord... is the only one among the many children of the Sky Capital King to reach the Chaos Realm. However, the administration of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation is overseen by the thirteen emperors, with the First-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan in charge. The guest gods and kings have no right to interfere.

"The ancient beings who explored the entire Chaos Layer and captured perfect Chaos Layer creatures were either Emperors or beings at the level of Sky Capital King." Marquis Chu Yu also felt it was no easy feat. "After planning until today, we have finally succeeded."

Marquis Chu Yu believed the promise made by the Refining Jade City Lord.

Call.

Marquis Chu Yu led his men out of the pavilion, among whom were two Xing Zhe at the Chaos Realm. The Yan Feng Ancient Nation also had some Chaos Realm of average strength who were trying to get close to the First-Class Marquis, hoping to seize some fortuitous opportunity.

"Di Chu Yu!" A fierce voice rang out.

Marquis Chu Yu's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look.

Two figures walked over with a group of subordinates.

"Di Chu Yu, regarding the mission in the North Sea Beast Forest ... both Marquis Chu Ji and I asked you for help, but you wouldn't even give us face!" said an ugly figure covered in black fur, his eyes flashing with Thunder. "I knew you were helping the Refining Jade City Lord, and it turns out I was right."

"For the past three decades, I've been quite modest in terms of task allocation, but this mission in the North Sea Beast Forest is very important to me," Di Chu Yu said. "I can't give in any longer."

"You've certainly grown bolder." The black-haired figure chuckled eerily, its Sha Qi aura sending a chill Di Chu Yu.

Among the Seven First-Class Marquises, this Chu Yuan Marquis was a madman. Because he possessed the bloodlines Imperial Clan Yan Feng and Thunder Imperial Clan, Chu Yuan Marquis experienced many hardships and torments in his youth, which made his temperament increasingly twisted and violent.

Chu Yuan Marquis only had a good relationship with Marquis Chu Ji, who shared a similar temperament.

"When you're weak, you should do things that only a weak person can do." The burly figure beside him looked at Di Chu Yu. "King-Level Task? You think you're worthy of taking it?"

"We First-Class Marquis, of equal status." Di Chu Yu's face was also grim. "I have given up all the past King-Level Task and have not accepted them even once! This North Sea Beast Forest mission... since I have never accepted it before, I naturally have priority."

"Priority?" the ugly, black-haired figure roared. "We already told you to give it to us! How dare you try to take it?"

Bang!

A terrifying shockwave struck Di Chu Yu 'Di Chu Yu body, also affecting his subordinates. Even the two Chaos Realm beside him felt the terrifying force emanating from them.

The array of this pleasure ground immediately appeared. Di Chu Yu was blasted backward and crashed into the array. Two Chaos Realm beside him also crashed into the array, creating a loud boom that attracted the attention of many guests.

As for the few ordinary attendants around Di Chu Yu? They had long since turned to ashes.

"I accidentally killed a few of your henchmen," the ugly, black-haired figure chuckled. "I guess I'll be punished with a few thousand merits? Hahaha, punish me however you want."

"This is a warning."

"Next time, I won't be so gentle." The ugly, black-haired figure turned and walked away.

Marquis Chu Ji, standing to the side, also glanced coldly at Marquis Chu Yu: "Di Chu Yu, you know Chu Yuan Marquis's temper! If you behave yourself, you'll suffer less. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop him."

After saying this, Marquis Chu Ji also left.

Di Chu Yu and the two Chaos Realm experts beside him both looked grim.

"Marquis, are we just going to let this go like this?" a Chaos Realm with several tentacles couldn't help but ask.

"Go back," Di Chu Yu said coldly, turning and leaving.

Many of the guests at this pleasure house were of considerable status, but seeing the conflict between the three First-Class Marquis, none of them dared to watch for long.

Two days later.

Di Chu Yu then arrived at Luo Feng's cave abode.

"Brother Chu Yu." Luo Feng came out of seclusion to greet him.

"I haven't let Brother Luo He down after all," Di Chu Yu laughed. "It took three decades of planning to finally obtain the materials for this perfect Chaos Layer creature."

As he spoke, Di Chu Yu took out a jade box, opened it, and inside was a yellow feather with a strange luster, just like a precious jade.
