章 113: First Task
Luo Feng immersed himself in studying the first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform," so deeply engrossed that he lost track of time. Despite having great fortune, allowing him to face the complete Life Origin Dao, it was similar to how Eternal True Gods living near the "Chaos Abyss" could observe the materialized chaos laws—yet few could truly comprehend them.
Even though they could see it, they still couldn't fully understand it.
On the Origin Continent, there were many ancient beings who could face the complete Origin Dao. They had inheritances and resources to aid them, but most of them could not comprehend it throughout their lives.
"Having an inheritance indeed makes understanding easier," Luo Feng reflected.
"All life has spirituality, and those with strong spirituality are full of limitless potential."
"If one fully masters the path of life spirituality, they can even bring life to inanimate objects! Stones, weeds, weapons, and rivers could all be given consciousness, becoming true life."
"For example, to animate a massive city, one would need to master the complete Life Origin Dao! Only by fully organizing the life structure of the 'vast city' and perfectly integrating it with spirituality could it be brought to life."
"Vast rivers, towering mountains, powerful corpses... all can be brought to life."
"Those who master the complete Life Origin Dao can animate many powerful lives. Some might even be born with God King-level strength right after being brought to life," Luo Feng was astonished by the information in the inheritance.
Anyone who mastered the complete Origin Dao possessed unimaginable methods.
For instance, Moroza, as a Sector Beast, after mastering the complete Destruction Origin Dao, could nurture numerous subordinates within his 'world,' potentially even nurturing God King-level beings.
Of course, the stronger the subordinate, the more difficult it was to nurture. Similarly, for those who mastered the Life Origin Dao, animating a God King-level being was also incredibly difficult.
"Animating a being, organizing its life structure, and granting it spirituality, creating God King-level power right from the start?" Luo Feng marveled, "Even now, I haven't reached the God King level."
Those born with God King-level power through external means, like animation, generally had far less comprehension than natural cultivators.
Ordinarily, becoming a God King required an individual to be selected from countless beings, accumulating immense experience over endless ages. In contrast, those born with God King-level power had artificial consciousness, with no accumulated experience, and their potential for further growth was almost nonexistent.
"My transformation technique is based on Chaos-level creatures, directly transforming into them," Luo Feng pondered, "But according to the inheritance, any life form with stronger spirituality is more extraordinary."
"The forms of these Chaos-level creatures might not represent the most perfect state."
"I can try to enhance their life spirituality."
The first tribulation of the "Eight Tribulations Lifeform" did not record any transformation techniques. This was a special ability Luo Feng had acquired after achieving the Perfect God Body, granted by the Supreme Rule.
"With my shapeless and formless ability, I can better explore the relationship between the life body and life spirituality."
The Life Origin Dao comprises six major branches, each closely related. For instance, to increase life spirituality, a single life form has an upper limit. Altering the life structure is necessary to continue enhancing its spirituality.
And the life structure branch is connected to the "Life Body Path."
"Brother Luo He," suddenly, Luo Feng received a message.
During his seclusion, Luo Feng had nearly cut off all contact with the outside world. Only Chu Yu and the Original Ancestor could reach him, and Moroza could communicate with him through mental connection.
"Brother Luo He, you should have checked the guest official tasks using your token by now?" Chu Yu inquired.
"They aren't the best tasks. They either involve guarding border cities for eons or dealing with conflicts with the Thunder Kingdom," Luo Feng replied. Having just obtained the inheritance, he was focused on accumulating knowledge and didn't want to get involved.
Even the minor conflicts with the Thunder Kingdom involved Chaos-level clashes. However, the Thunder Kingdom also had "Transcendent Chaos-level" beings, who usually cultivated Hunyuan power or utilized Hunyuan materials, making them extremely unpredictable. Luo Feng had no interest in engaging with them.
"Haha, the best tasks are taken by us seven first-tier marquises. The tasks nobody wants can be accessed through the guest official token," Chu Yu laughed, "I just found a good task. If you don't mind, I'll assign it to you. You can accept it."
"What kind of good task?" Luo Feng asked.
"Serving as a patrol officer in Chu's capital," Chu Yu explained, "Chu's capital has three patrol officers, all held by Chaos-level guest officials."
"In reality, Chu's capital has its own military. Small troubles are handled by the military, while larger issues... well, the God Kings will personally intervene! Situations requiring the involvement of Chaos-level patrol officers are very rare," Chu Yu continued, "But serving in this position earns more merit than guarding a border city. You'll earn a thousand merits per epoch. The position can be held for a maximum of a hundred epochs before it must be rotated."
"A hundred epochs amount to a hundred thousand merits. Cultivating in Chu's capital for a hundred epochs will yield a hundred thousand merits! This is a task that all Chaos guest officials would fight for," Chu Yu said.
Luo Feng understood, "Are there any requirements to serve as a patrol officer in Chu's capital?"
Merits were hard to earn.
Guarding a border city for ten thousand epochs only earned a hundred thousand merits. Serving as a patrol officer in Chu's capital for a hundred epochs also earned a hundred thousand merits. The latter was shorter in duration and less dangerous, making it a sought-after task, while the former was only accepted out of necessity.
"To serve as a patrol officer in Chu's capital, you must reside there. If you need to leave, you cannot be absent for more than a thousand days per epoch," Chu Yu said, "If you have no objections, I'll assign the task to you."
"Thank you, Brother Chu Yu," Luo Feng accepted the task without hesitation. Having just reached the Chaos Realm, he preferred not to overextend himself.
When his cultivation reached a bottleneck and progress became difficult, he could take on dangerous tasks to earn merits for exchanging for inheritance resources.
Soon, Luo Feng's guest official token received the assigned task, specifically designating him.
Luo Feng naturally accepted!
Time passed, and Luo Feng had been in Chu's capital in Yan Feng Kingdom for half an epoch before he knew it.
During this time, Luo Feng, as a "Chu's Capital Patrol Officer," had only received one order, to personally capture a group of royal family members who had been fighting. These royal family members were all Eternal True Gods, with significant power and treasures. When they went berserk, a Chaos-level guest official had to intervene.
In Chu's capital, in a pavilion above the clouds.
Luo Feng and the Original Ancestor sat facing each other.
"This wine is truly exceptional," the Original Ancestor remarked, surprised, "It feels nourishing to both the God Body and the soul." After just one cup, the Original Ancestor felt his God Body become stronger.
"This is Baiyi Wine," Luo Feng explained with a smile, "It's said to be made from the blood of over a hundred Chaos-level beasts, combined with various rare treasures from heaven and earth. A single pot of this wine costs a hundred universe sands."
The Original Ancestor was astonished.
An average Eternal True God couldn't afford to drink it for long, even if they spent all their wealth.
"Blood from over a hundred Chaos-level beasts?" The Original Ancestor was shocked.
"It's nothing. Chu's capital imprisons many Chaos-level beasts," Luo Feng explained, "And ordinary blood isn't worth much to Chaos-level beasts. They naturally recover by absorbing the power of heaven and earth. So for the merchants, the cost isn't that high! Each pot of wine costs about one or two universe sands to produce. But each pot sells for a fixed price of sixty universe sands, with a portion going to the First-Tier Marquis 'Chu Yinghou.'"
The Original Ancestor nodded, knowing that each First-Tier Marquis in the Chu faction wielded great power. Luo Feng had aligned himself with the First-Tier Marquis 'Chu Yu.'
"Chu Yu has only recently become a First-Tier Marquis, so his accumulation in various aspects is still far behind the other First-Tier Marquises," Luo Feng commented.
Whether in terms of power, wealth, or resources, Chu Yu lagged behind.
But with his equal status, Chu Yu would continue to progress in all aspects.
"Brother Luo He," suddenly, Luo Feng received another message, "I found a good task, but it's one that requires leaving the city."
"Oh? What task?" Luo Feng asked.
He couldn't leave Chu's capital for more than a thousand days in an epoch. As long as the task was short, it would be manageable.
"I'll send you the task details. I think with your strength, you could probably solve it within a few days," Chu Yu transmitted, "This task will earn you ten thousand merits upon completion. I just found it and grabbed it for you. Take a look and see if you want to accept it."
Soon, the detailed information of the task was sent over.
Luo Feng put down his wine cup and carefully examined the task.
In the Qingchong Chaos State within Yan Feng Kingdom, there is an ordinary city called Tianqu City. This city was specifically established to mine "Tianqu Stone Essence." However, in recent epochs, the production of Tianqu Stone Essence has significantly decreased, and many of the miners have died, including dozens of Eternal True Gods.
It is suspected that a Chaos Realm being is secretly stealing Tianqu Stone Essence.
The task is to uncover the identity of the thief, with a reward of ten thousand merits. Capturing the thief alive offers an additional reward of five thousand merits.
"Uncover the identity of the thief?" Luo Feng understood.
For Yan Feng Kingdom, discovering the thief's identity was the priority. Once identified, capturing them would be relatively easy.
"Tianqu Stone Essence is an extremely important cultivation resource in Yan Feng Kingdom, almost exclusively used by God Kings," Luo Feng knew the significance of Tianqu Stone Essence, a rare treasure of heaven and earth.
Yan Feng Kingdom and Thunder Kingdom's territories are at the center of the entire Origin Continent, where the number of exotic beasts, cultivators, and treasures are abundant.
"I'll take this task," Luo Feng responded to Chu Yu.
A short-duration task with over ten thousand merits was indeed a rare opportunity.
"I'll send you all the intelligence related to this task," Chu Yu replied.
"By the way, Brother Chu Yu, can you help me find some 'Chaos-level' Chaos creatures?" Luo Feng transmitted.
The Chaos creatures he had captured weren't particularly strong; the strongest ones, born with Chaos Realm strength, had long been captured by some ancient beings.
"Chaos creatures?" Chu Yu was a bit troubled, "If we're talking about exotic beasts, they are everywhere in the world. Yan Feng Kingdom has captured many Chaos-level exotic beasts. Buying a few isn't difficult. But 'Chaos creatures,' especially those with Chaos Realm strength... as far as I know, their numbers are extremely limited. There are probably no more than ten in the entire Yan Feng Kingdom, and most of them are in the hands of God Kings."
"I don't need the complete creatures, just some body parts," Luo Feng said.
"If it's just body parts, I might be able to arrange something," Chu Yu felt relieved, "But it'll take some time. I'm not even sure which God Kings have these creatures."
"This is important to me. I'm counting on you, Brother Chu Yu," Luo Feng said.
"Important to you?"
Chu Yu was jolted, realizing that his most important ally urgently needed something, "Don't worry, if it's just some body parts, I'll definitely get some for you."
"Thank you," Luo Feng didn't mention paying with universe sands. For a First-Tier Marquis, even tens of billions of universe sands weren't very meaningful. What he owed was a favor.
But for Chaos creatures born with Chaos Realm strength, Luo Feng felt it was worth owing a favor.
That day, Luo Feng quietly left Chu's capital and headed to Qingchong Chaos State to investigate the matter of the thief.
