Marquis Chu Ying and Luo Feng

The Chu Capital, the Marquis Chu Yu Estate.

"That's the situation," Di Chu Yu helplessly. " Of the Thirteen Royal Lineages, only seven of First-Class Marquis -class Imperial Clan with Guest Elder Position. I've visited them all, but I can't get any deals done."

Luo Feng listened and thanked him with a smile, "Brother Chu Yu, thank you! I know that some of the Thirteen Royal Lineages don't have good relationships."

"My guest elder is the Great Sage Luo He. Even if they have a bad attitude, they wouldn't dare to be forceful," Di Chu Yu a smile. "However, they didn't use their Guest Elder Position for the previous Heaven-Level Task. These Guest Elder Position ... are indeed very difficult to obtain."

Luo Feng nodded. Judging from his interactions with Di Chu Yu, it seemed quite troublesome.

"The Imperial Clan's First-Class Marquis care most about their own cultivation path," Di Chu Yu said thoughtfully. "After this Heaven-Level Task, the next important mission may be thousands of years from now... Brother Luo He will become a God-King soon, and he will no longer be able to participate in the competition for the Chaos Realm. It is understandable that they are unwilling to agree."

"It's very difficult for me to help them," Luo Feng nodded.

In the governance of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation, over 99% of affairs are handled by the First-Class Marquis of the Thirteen Royal Lineages Imperial Clan. Only truly important matters are the responsibility of the God-Kings. Even the God-Kings wouldn't dare to bully the weak and kill First-Class Marquis Imperial Clan. If they did, even the Emperor of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation would likely intervene.

First-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan are the core elites cultivated by the Imperial Clan. The Yan Feng Ancient Nation doesn't care about competition among those of the same rank. Can the strong bully the weak? Absolutely not!

So what if Luo Feng a God King? A God King First Realm is invincible, but how much help can that be to First-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan?

"Besides First-Class Marquis -class Imperial Clan retainer, are there any other options?" Luo Feng asked.

"According to the rules of my Imperial Clan, First-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan select guest elders at the Chaos Realm, and Imperial Clan god-kings select guest elders at the God-king level," Di Chu Yu said. "At the same time, the current emperor can make an exception and directly select some guest elders."

"The current emperor?" Luo Feng shook his head slightly. This little matter didn't need to be taken to the level of an emperor.

"If the ancestor were to speak, it certainly wouldn't be difficult," Di Chu Yu said.

"I'll think about it some more." Luo Feng stood up. Given his personality, he was unwilling to trouble his master Emperor Chu, easily.

Yuan, having only recently reached the Chaos Realm, was not in a great hurry.

I'll figure something out once I become a god-king.

The path to finding a successor isn't limited to becoming a guest retainer. And even becoming a guest retainer doesn't necessarily require being in the Yan Feng Ancient Nation.

"No rush." Many thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind.

The Chu Capital, the Marquis Chu Ying Estate.

Marquis Chu Ying, who came in first place in the last Heaven-Level Task, naturally received a vast amount of resources. Moreover, he was personally praised by Emperor Qing, who held him in high regard as a promising member of the Imperial Clan.

Emperor Qing was the most transcendent of the thirteen emperors of the Imperial Clan. His praise made some god- Royal Capital willing to befriend Marquis Chu Ying.

"My Marquis, Luo He does indeed want a Guest Elder Position. Marquis Chu Yu has recently visited many places in the thirteen capitals of the Imperial Clan and approached several first-class First-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan. I heard that he was rejected by all of them," a steward said respectfully.

"Guest Elder Position?" Marquis Chu Ying's eyes were cold. "For whom do you want a quota?"

"I heard he's a newly promoted Chaos Realm. According to intelligence, the Eternal True God 'Yuan' of Luo He Cave Residence recently reached the Chaos Realm," the steward said.

Marquis Chu Ying laughed, "His old servant Luo Sa has long since reached the Chaos Realm, yet he never thought of seeking a Guest Elder Position for him. On the contrary, as soon as Yuan broke through, he immediately tried to find a position for him. It seems that in Luo He's heart, the most important person is this 'Yuan'."

"Alright, you may leave now," Marquis Chu Ying instructed.

"Yes." The steward immediately withdrew respectfully.

Marquis Chu Ying looked into the distance.

"I've been in seclusion for so long, and I've just emerged victorious when I heard this news." Marquis Chu Ying smiled. "It seems that Luo He and I are indeed destined to meet."

Marquis Chu Ying was the Seven First-Class Marquises who had accumulated the most profound cultivation. With the help of the vast resources of the first -Heaven-Level Task, he had comprehended Great Dao Branch over a hundred epochs and had only just emerged from seclusion.

As soon as he left the pass, he learned about Luo He's search for Guest Elder Position.

"I have just comprehended Great Dao Branch, my Small Universe has not yet transformed, my divine body has not yet transformed, and in the name of the Imperial Clan I am still a First-Class Marquis Imperial Clan." Marquis Chu Ying thought, "By using my authority and contributing some Imperial Clan merits, I can apply for another Guest Elder Position."

Even within the Imperial Clan, the First-Class Marquis Imperial Clan treated differently.

Those few 'First-Class Marquis' Chaos Realm Transcendence can even get the opportunity to enter the Treasure Land left behind by Yuan for free! From the moment Marquis Chu Ying was chosen by Emperor Qing, his privileges have been greatly enhanced.

"Once I break through, I will be a God-King. I need to think about the future."

"A being who can become an invincible being at the God King First Realm without relying on external forces is one of the few in the entire Origin Continent." Marquis Chu Ying was well aware of Luo He's immense potential.

Having made up his mind, Marquis Chu Ying immediately went out alone. He flew over the Chu Capital and soon quietly arrived at the Luo He Cave Residence.

Marquis Chu Ying stood outside the gate of the Luo He Cave Residence.

"Go and deliver the message," said Marquis Chu Ying, looking at the guards at the door. "Say that Di Chu Ying come to visit the Great Sage Luo He."

"Marquis Chu Ying?" The two guards at the gate were taken aback. He had come to visit alone without any servants. One of the guards immediately ran back to relay the message.

Marquis Chu Ying was waiting at the door.

"Marquis Chu Ying?" Luo Feng arrived at the door, quite curious. Usually, powerful figures would transmit their voices directly, but this Marquis Chu Ying was being very proper, having the guards at the door relay his message.

"Great Sage Luo He." Marquis Chu Ying looked at Luo Feng and smiled. "I have come here today to discuss the matter of the Guest Elder Position."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up; it seemed there was a chance for things to turn around.

"Please." Luo Feng immediately led the way.

Inside the welcoming pavilion.

After they sat down, Luo Feng personally poured wine for them and asked, "Judging from what Marquis Chu Ying, do you have a way to Guest Elder Position?"

Marquis Chu Ying nodded. "All the First-Class Marquis of the Thirteen Royal Lineages have always been competing, and the resources they have are all different."

Luo Feng nodded.

"I happen to be First-Class Marquis of the Imperial Clan, so I have some authority." Marquis Chu Ying looked at Luo Feng. "I can try to apply for another Guest Elder Position."

Luo Feng was overjoyed.

"The Guest Elder Position is rare. Please tell me what you need me to give," Luo Feng said. Although he had not dealt with Marquis Chu Ying much, he had to admit that Marquis Chu Ying's demeanor alone made him the most extraordinary among the Seven First-Class Marquises of the Di Chu Lineage.

The other six men naturally bowed their heads in respect to Marquis Chu Ying.

It's because Marquis Chu Ying has always been far ahead in the long-term competition! Last time, in the Heaven-Level Task, if Luo Feng hadn't intervened, Marquis Chu Ying would have been far ahead in all three sub-missions.

Even with Luo Feng's intervention, Marquis Chu Ying still ranked first in the final overall rankings.

"It's just one spot," Marquis Chu Ying said with a smile. "I've come here today to make friends with Brother Luo He."

Luo Feng had carefully investigated the matter of the Guest Elder Position in recent days and understood that even if Marquis Chu Ying held a special position, he would likely have to pay a price to apply for another quota. This was because the rules of the Imperial Clan had always been such that any resources beyond the free quota had to be earned through merit.

"Brother Chu Ying, thank you," Luo Feng said. "I will remember this kindness."

Marquis Chu Ying nodded.

That's enough!

The more powerful a being is, the more it cares about cause and effect!

Marquis Chu Ying knew very well that the power struggles among the elites of the Origin Continent were brutal! The Imperial Clan of the Two Great Ancient Nations were also fighting each other, and there were also ancient beings who were not Imperial Clan, and there were also those who could rival emperors and monarchs.

For example, the WanJie Kingdom Master, the Eastern Domain, the most dazzling few at the God King Second Realm, and the powerful alien races hidden in the shadows.

Everyone is vying for the resources left behind by Yuan.

"I was outstanding among the First-Class Marquis, but after becoming a god-king, it's too difficult to remain outstanding. It depends on oneself as well as on the help of others." Marquis Chu Ying had high hopes for Luo Feng.

"Is it for the original application quota?" Marquis Chu Ying asked.

Luo Feng nodded. "It's him."

"Let him come to my residence," said Marquis Chu Ying. "By the time he arrives at my residence, the quota should have already been applied for."

"Okay." Luo Feng nodded.

"I've become a guest elder of the Chaos Realm?" Yuan Gang had just broken through, and his divine body was still growing. He was originally in seclusion to consolidate his strength when Luo Feng summoned him out.

Luo Feng said, "Becoming a guest elder of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation will directly grant you 100,000 merit points. You can then choose the inheritance you need most in the Inheritance Hall. You can also gradually accumulate merit points to exchange for resources in the future."

Having stayed in the Chu Capital for so long, I know very well how precious the Guest Elder Position is!

Many Chaos Realm have been lingering in the Yan Feng Ancient Nation, willing to contribute to the Imperial Clan's First-Class Marquis title in order to secure a spot.

"This spot must have been hard-won, right?" Yuan asked.

"Yuan Zu, go directly to the Marquis Chu Ying Estate now. The Marquis Chu Ying will meet with you there and will take care of everything," Luo Feng said.

Yuan nodded without saying much, "Okay."

He immediately set off for the Marquis Chu Ying Estate.

Luo Feng smiled as he watched Yuan leave.

"Finally, everything is arranged." Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The other pillar of the Human Race, 'Yuan', had also become a guest elder. With suitable inheritance and resources, he believed that the road ahead would be much smoother.

Marquis Chu Ying handled things very well. That very day, he became a guest minister of the Chaos Realm! He also went to the Inheritance Hall and selected the inheritance he wanted.

When this news spread, it also made some Chaos Realm in Chu Capital indignant. They tried every means to get a spot, but now a newly promoted Chaos Realm directly got a spot!

But behind this newly Chaos Realm are two powerful figures: the Great Sage Luo He and Marquis Chu Ying. They can only grumble in vain.

Not long after, Marquis Chu Ying also broke through and became a God King!

This was the fourth God King of the Imperial Clan Di Chu Lineage, which caused a great stir. At Di Chu Ying's God King Banquet, Luo Feng personally brought gifts to offer his congratulations.

******

Di Chu Ying became a God King, Luo Feng also went into seclusion, focusing wholeheartedly on his cultivation.

Time passed day by day.

The effects of the Clear Mind Spirit Liquid finally wore off, while a small amount of the Primal Chaos Crystal Spirit Fruit's effects remained—

"The Ten Directions World Form?" Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng sat cross-legged, staring blankly at the materials before him.

He focused on comprehending the extremely difficult 'Ten Directions World Form' and did not demand that he must comprehend it in the Chaos Realm! Even if he failed, it would still be a test of his comprehension.

But at that very moment, a complete 'Ten Directions World Form' was fully formed in Luo Feng's mind.

"I've figured it out?" Luo Feng murmured to himself.

Sometimes, surprises come so suddenly.
