A Qing Yi Woman stood atop a high building, gazing at the vast and magnificent Chu Capital.

"Is it worth coming to Chu Capital for cultivation?" The Qing Yi Woman thought to herself. Back in the small outlying town, there were only a few dozen Eternal True God in the city. With her strength, she was one of the strongest in the city, and her life was naturally very comfortable.

"In a remote town, I will never receive a powerful inheritance, and there is no hope of breaking through to the Chaos Realm."

"Upon arriving in Chu Capital, I quickly obtained a suitable inheritance! I even acquired a considerable amount of resources, and now I am considered to have reached the pinnacle of Eternal True God strength," the Qing Yi Woman thought.

With inheritance and resources secured, and their strength enhanced, they have mastered several Chaos Realm techniques, and have seen a glimmer of hope in their attempt to break through to the Chaos Realm.

"I've gotten the fortuitous opportunity, but trouble has also come along." The Qing Yi Woman also had a headache. "If it weren't for the help of my friend Marquis Chu Le, I'm afraid I would be living a life worse than death right now."

"But Marquis Chu Le, as Third-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan, has no real power."

The Qing Yi Woman had been in Chu Capital for a long time. She established the 'Shallow Words Pavilion' here, gradually attracting many guests with her musical illusions, and even gaining many esteemed followers. Chu Capital was full of powerful forces, and she paid a price in exchange for cultivation inheritance and some resources.

"I've been very careful in Chu Capital, proceeding cautiously at every step, and I didn't even dare to control the minds of any distinguished guests. Who would have thought trouble would still come?" The Qing Yi Woman was also very upset.

The forces in Chu Capital are deeply intertwined, and even the First-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan are still fiercely fighting each other. She, a mere Eternal True God, is now being drawn into the dark vortex despite being extremely cautious.

"Hmm?" The Qing Yi Woman suddenly saw two figures approaching.

A man dressed in black was accompanied by a kind-looking servant.

"The Great Sage Luo He?"

The Qing Yi Woman immediately recognized him and her heart skipped a beat. She felt as if the sky had brightened considerably, and she immediately went to greet him.

The main building of the Shallow Words Pavilion.

"Let's play a few pieces you're good at." Luo Feng sat there, while Moluo Sa ate and drank beside him. He was used to his master liking to listen to music. But this World Beast had no interest in music.

Luo Feng was quite interested. There were many performers at the previous Dao Discussion Banquet, but it was not appropriate to use the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method in such an occasion.

Before coming, Luo Feng gathered some intelligence.

There were three people at the banquet who were most skilled in musical illusions, and the Qing Yi Woman was named Yu Youyi. She came from a small town on the outskirts of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation and was now in deep trouble, which was related to a subordinate general of Chu Capital General Xue Chi.

"A place like Chu Capital is not a place where you can just hide from trouble if you want to." Luo Feng thought to himself. When he first came to Chu Capital, he clearly secluded himself and did not cause trouble, but Chu Yuan Marquis, Marquis Chu Ji, and the three guest ministers by his side... didn't they still join forces to deal with him?

That is when one Chaos Realm Transcendence, and truly becomes transcendent!

At the Dao Discussion Banquet, among the three masters skilled in music, Luo Feng chose her, intending to help her this once.

"Splash splash splash~~~"

The Qing Yi Woman stood there, surrounded by streams of water. She used these streams as musical instruments, and the sounds she produced were like the sounds of nature itself! These sounds of nature even resonated with the Principle governing the universe, causing Luo Feng's heart to tremble.

Luo Feng had already used the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method to immerse himself even more deeply in the experience.

Overwhelmed by emotion, tears welled up in my eyes.

"Hmm?" The Qing Yi Woman was somewhat surprised. Why would she shed tears while listening to music?

She dared not stop, and could only focus on playing the music and illusion.

The music continued, creating illusions. Luo Feng didn't tell her to stop, and she didn't dare to stop either.

"This Great Sage Luo He seems easily moved by music? Yet at the Dao Discussion Banquet, he didn't seem to care at all." The Qing Yi Woman was absolutely confident in her performance of the musical illusion.

While observing Luo Feng, he also cast the musical illusion spell, ensuring that there were no errors.

"That's enough," Luo Feng suddenly said.

The Qing Yi Woman had no choice but to stop.

"Let's call it a day." Luo Feng got up and walked out.

Those Xing Zhe live too long and experience too much, and their emotions easily become numb.

While the Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method can intensely stimulate the mind and emotions, prolonged and repeated intense stimulation can also lead to numbness. Therefore, it should only be used occasionally.

"The Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method is ultimately just a supplement. The Great Destruction Heart Refining Method is the fundamental one." Luo Feng's Seven Emotions Heart Refining Method was transformed into the Great Destruction Heart Refining Method.

Luo Feng already used to the pain and hardship that tempered his Mind Will. This continuous tempering, in turn, filled him with fighting spirit.

"How much does it cost?" Moluo Sa asked as his master stood up. He immediately waved his hand and collected all the food and wine in front of him and his master. Then he looked at the Qing Yi Woman.

"It is a great honor for our Shallow Words Pavilion that the Great Sage Luo He has come. There is no charge," said the Qing Yi Woman.

Moluo Sa frowned. "My master doesn't like to take advantage of others. Tell me, how much will it cost?"

"Ten grains of Universe Sand are enough," the Qing Yi Woman could only say.

With a wave of his hand, Moluo Sa sent out ten grains of Universe Sand, which then quickly followed Luo Feng away.

The Qing Yi Woman immediately followed and saw them off.

They were delivered all the way to Luo Feng and Moluo Sa, where they vanished into thin air.

"They're just leaving like that?" The Qing Yi Woman was both excited and apprehensive.

The Marquis Chu Yu Estate.

"Brother Luo He went to the Shallow Words Pavilion?" Di Chu Yu naturally received the news. With Luo Feng's current strength, Di Chu Yu was very concerned about the actions of this guest elder. On the one hand, he was afraid that other First-Class Marquis would try to win him over, and on the other hand, he was worried that something might have gone wrong and caused the relationship between the two sides to deteriorate.

Di Chu Yu knew very well that even if they were friends in the past, it didn't mean they would always be friends!

Friendships need to be maintained!

"Brother Luo He, back in Huyang City, loved listening to music. He would often become so engrossed in it that he would occasionally lose his composure." Di Chu Yu laughed. It was because Luo Feng lost his composure that some Eternal True God in Huyang City thought that Luo Feng had a weak Mind Will and considered Luo Feng a mediocre Eternal True God.

This also led to Luo Feng's first move in Huyang City, where he grabbed the True God Heart of the Lai Mo Vice-President with a single hand.

"At the Dao Discussion Banquet, he listened to Yu Youyi's musical illusion, and since he went there privately... he must have liked it quite a bit." Di Chu Yu thought for a moment and immediately gave instructions to his attendants.

"Take my Marquis's token and go to the Shallow Words Pavilion," Di Chu Yu immediately ordered.

"Yes, Your Marquis." The attendant immediately responded.

Luo Feng's mere visit to the Shallow Words Pavilion has garnered attention from numerous forces in Chu Capital!

Based on their understanding of this "Great Sage Luo He," this Great Sage Luo He was known for his hatred of evil and his relatively few hobbies, including a fondness for fine food and wine and a love of music!

Yu Youyi's name has also been collected by many forces.

"The Great Sage Luo He is pleased with your musical illusions; this is a great fortuitous opportunity for you. This is a token from our Marquis Chu Yu Estate's residence. Show this token if you encounter any trouble. You can also contact me via message." The attendant of First-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan held a very high position in the outside world. He arrived at the Shallow Words Pavilion with several guards and handed the token to Yu Youyi.

After the token was given, the attendants left.

Holding the token from the Marquis Chu Yu Estate's residence, Yu Youyi felt as if all her troubles had vanished and she was completely free.

Even without this token, the mere fact that a Chaos Realm Transcendence came to the Shallow Words Pavilion to listen to her music and illusions... was enough to make that Xue Chi Lieutenant General wary.

******

Luo Feng's days in Chu Capital were peaceful.

If, at the peak of the Chaos Realm, many forces dared to provoke him and had conflicts of interest with him, then now that Luo Feng has Chaos Realm Transcendence, everyone actively seeks to befriend Luo Feng, including those First-Class Marquis.

" Among the Seven First-Class Marquises of the Di Chu Lineage, the other six are quite capable." Based on intelligence and personal contact, Luo Feng made a judgment, "Only that Chu Yuan Marquis is somewhat insane."

During this period, only Chu Yuan Marquis avoided Luo Feng and never met him.

Luo Feng also knew that Chu Yuan Marquis had the bloodline of the Thunder Ancient Nation Royal Clan and was also cultivating with the help of the Primal Chaos Bloodline. The root cause of his ferocity and madness was still the path of cultivation.

"Brother Luo He, Brother Luo He." Luo Feng suddenly received a message, "Hurry up and prepare, the Ancestor's personal guards are here."

Luo Feng, who was meditating in the Quiet Room, was startled.

The ancestor was none other than Emperor Chu, one of the thirteen emperors of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation. The emperor's personal guards had arrived; what were they planning? Based on Di Chu Yu's previous speculation, the emperor might be taking on disciples.

"Call."

Luo Feng quickly left the Quiet Room and waited patiently. Moluo Sa sensed Luo Feng's emergence from seclusion and immediately rushed to his side.

"Master, you've emerged from seclusion so quickly?" Moluo Sa asked.

"We have important guests arriving soon," Luo Feng instructed. "Be careful."

"A distinguished guest?" Moluo Sa understood and immediately waited to the side.

Just a short while later, nine figures appeared out of thin air in the sky. One of them was Di Chu Yu, and the other eight were all wearing the armor of the Emperor Chu Palace guards, but the styles of the armor were different.

The leader of the nine figures was a black water figure, dressed in black armor with blood-red runes.

"The Ancestor has three personal guard generals by his side. This is Mystic Flood Dragon General," Di Chu Yu introduced. "Mystic Flood Dragon General, this is Guest Elder Luo He."

Mystic Flood Dragon General was a burly man. Black water flowed slowly inside his armor. His eyes, filled with the black water, were deathly still. Just looking at Luo Feng and Moluo Sa made Peak Master feel suffocated.

When being watched, the world seemed to fall into a deathly silence, and the silence enveloped him.

"According to intelligence, Emperor Chu has three personal guard generals, who are rumored to be not Xing Zhe, but rather mysterious beings." Luo Feng felt a vast difference in strength between them from their very first encounter with this Mystic Flood Dragon General!

"Not Xing Zhe, yet so powerful?" Luo Feng also knew that the Yan Feng Ancient Nation hid too many secrets, and even the many fortuitous opportunity bestowed by that mysterious 'Yuan' were mostly monopolized by the Two Great Ancient Nations.

"Master, this Mystic Flood Dragon General is terrifying. I can feel it. I'll be gone in one move," Moluo Sa also transmitted to Luo Feng telepathically.

Luo Feng immediately bowed and said, "Greetings Mystic Flood Dragon General."

Those ordinary guards were merely Eternal True God, only able to reach the Chaos Realm strength with the help of some power.

"Luo He." Mystic Flood Dragon General looked at Luo Feng, his tone becoming more friendly. "The Emperor intends to take you as his disciple. I wonder if you are willing? If you are willing, then come with me to the Emperor Chu Palace. If you are not willing... then I will return to report."
