Chapter 128: Emperor Di Chu Takes a Disciple (Part II)
Luo Feng stood within the cave dwelling, looking at General Xuanjiao in the high sky, and without a moment's hesitation, he said, "It is my good fortune that the Emperor is willing to take me as a disciple; I am naturally willing."
Luo Feng had already been prepared for the Emperor to take a disciple, and he had considered it carefully.
Among the thirteen Emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's royal family, Di Chu possessed terrifying strength. The few times he had been recorded in history taking action, he had swept away other ancient existences. He was relatively low-key, had no ill reputation, and generally devoted himself to cultivation.
Luo Feng was indeed willing to apprentice himself to Di Chu.
After all, he knew very well that with a Master's assistance, he could avoid many detours.
"Good, come with me." General Xuanjiao finally revealed a smile, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible ripple enveloped Luo Feng, and they flew together toward the Di Chu Palace.
"Brother Luohe, congratulations." During the flight, Master Di Chuyu also offered his congratulations.
"It is also thanks to Brother Chu Yu for bringing me to the Chu Capital," Luo Feng replied with gratitude.
"Haha... with Brother Luohe's strength, you would have risen rapidly even without me," Master Di Chuyu said.
Soon, under General Xuanjiao's lead, Luo Feng and the others arrived before the Di Chu Palace.
"You may all withdraw; I will take Luohe to see the Emperor," General Xuanjiao said.
"Yes." The personal guards withdrew, and Master Di Chuyu stood outside the Di Chu Palace with a faint smile, not following any further.
Immediately, Luo Feng followed General Xuanjiao into the palace, which seemed to melt into the chaotic darkness.
A moment later.
Luo Feng and General Xuanjiao entered an ancient great hall together, and at a glance, he saw a burly figure sitting cross-legged on the floor. This burly figure sat there as if he were the center of the endless heavens and earth.
It was as if the heavens and earth might perish, but he would not.
His breathing was more terrifying than the might of the heavens and earth.
His gaze upon Luo Feng... gave Luo Feng the feeling of facing the Great Dao of the Origin of Life.
Luo Feng understood that the person before him must be 'Di Chu', one of the thirteen Emperors of the royal family.
"Emperor," General Xuanjiao saluted, "Luohe has been brought."
The Emperor nodded slightly, and General Xuanjiao immediately withdrew from the great hall.
Only Luo Feng and the Emperor remained in the hall.
"Luohe," Di Chu looked at Luo Feng with a smile, "I have carefully learned about your past recently. You come from the Primitive Universe?"
Luo Feng was startled, but he did not hide it and immediately saluted: "Yes, I do indeed come from the Primitive Universe."
Di Chu smiled in approval: "Beings from the Primitive Universe are incredibly weak, and it is very difficult to grow from such weakness to become a True God. For you to reach this step of transcending to the Chaos Realm... is indeed quite impressive."
"Do not be nervous. Almost all the countless ancestors of today's cultivators walked out from the Primitive Universe. They came to the Origin Continent and, after endless years of reproduction, have become so numerous," Di Chu said. "The original natives of the Origin Continent are almost all in that region of the Eastern Extreme Domain."
Luo Feng also knew this.
"Let me ask you again, are you a reincarnated cultivator?" Di Chu asked again. Even with the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's brilliant methods, they could not bypass the operation of the Supreme Rules.
"No," Luo Feng shook his head.
Di Chu nodded.
"Among the thirteen Emperors, I have taken the fewest disciples, only two," Di Chu looked at Luo Feng. "When I take a disciple, I first value talent, and second, I value the compatibility of our temperaments. Your talent is good, and I quite like your character, which is why I decided to take you as a disciple."
Di Chu said, "Before you apprentice yourself, think clearly whether you truly wish to do so."
"Apprenticeship is a great causal bond."
"The master-disciple relationship is no less significant than that of close blood relatives," Di Chu said. "A master chooses a disciple, and a disciple also chooses a master! You must think this over very carefully. Once you take me as your master, some of the other most peak existences in the Origin Continent will no longer be able to take you as their disciple."
Luo Feng naturally understood that master-disciple relations were a great causal bond!
But how many of the Origin Continent's peak existences would even take a fancy to him? Moreover, Luo Feng had his own principles; he would not be willing to apprentice himself to existences with monstrous sins.
"This disciple has already thought it through clearly." Luo Feng immediately knelt, touched his head to the floor, and performed a grand salute, "Disciple Luo Feng, pays respects to Master."
"Luo Feng?" Di Chu was taken aback.
"Luo Feng is my original name. It involves some causal ties, so I have always used the name Luohe." Since Luo Feng had decided to apprentice himself, he naturally would no longer hide his real name.
"Hahaha... good, good, good." Di Chu laughed upon hearing this. "From today on, Luo Feng, you are my third personal disciple!"
"Luo Feng, do you need my help to resolve the causal ties you are involved in?" Di Chu asked.
"No need, this disciple can resolve them," Luo Feng said.
Di Chu nodded in satisfaction: "Since you are entangled in causal ties, I will also keep your original name confidential." Di Chu was very happy to see a disciple who relied on himself to resolve troubles.
"Since you have apprenticed yourself today, I have also prepared three gifts for you," Di Chu looked at Luo Feng. "The first gift: the two inheritances you chose, the first rebirth of 'Eight Rebirth Life Form' and the first volume of 'Seventy-Two Slashes of Annihilation'. Once you master them, you can obtain the subsequent inheritances for free. Of course, the inheritances I can gift you for free do not exceed the God King Ultimate Realm," Di Chu said.
Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised.
To obtain the entire content of these two inheritances for free, all the way to the God King Ultimate Realm?
The first rebirth of 'Eight Rebirth Life Form' and the first volume of 'Seventy-Two Slashes of Annihilation' he had obtained now both belonged to the God King First Rebirth Realm, each valued at about 100,000 merit points. If he were to go further... a technique at the God King Second Rebirth Realm level would require about 3 million merit points. A technique at the God King Third Rebirth Realm (Ultimate Realm) would require even more, a hundred million merit points.
To obtain these techniques, some God King guest ministers had to fight to the death for the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.
Two inheritances, valued at about 200 million merit points! As long as his realm reached the level, he could obtain them for free! This was the difference between an outsider and a personal disciple.
"The second gift I give you." Di Chu looked at Luo Feng and, with a flip of his hand, took out a stone box. After the box was opened, it contained ten pale red fruits. Just by smelling the fruity fragrance, Luo Feng felt his soul being nourished, and his thinking speed became several times faster. "This is the 'Using Hunyuan Crystal Spirit Fruit', which the Ancestor gifted to me back then. It is of no use to me now, so I will gift ten to you."
"This Using Hunyuan Crystal Spirit Fruit is a fruit tree cultivated with Using Hunyuan Crystal Jade. It has a miraculous effect on nourishing the soul. After consuming it, one becomes increasingly compatible with the Supreme Rules, and one's comprehension is greatly improved," Di Chu said. "This is not a product from within the Origin World; the quantity is extremely rare, and merit points cannot even be used to exchange for it. You must use it sparingly."
"I suggest that at the Chaos Realm level, you consume five fruits. At the God King First Rebirth Realm stage, consume another five."
"Yes, Master." Luo Feng felt the heart of this Master.
!.
Di Chu looked at Luo Feng: "What is the weapon you use most often?"
Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out the Blood Shadow Blade: "It is this blade."
Di Chu took a look: "Is it a God King-level blade embryo?"
Di Chu thought for a moment and then flipped his hand to take out a mass of seven-colored mud. With a casual toss, this seven-colored mud landed on the Blood Shadow Blade. The Blood Shadow Blade was so hungry that it completely swallowed it in the blink of an eye.
"Originally, your blade embryo would have peaked at the God King First Rebirth Realm weapon," Di Chu said. "Now, its potential has increased significantly, and it has the hope of reaching a God King Ultimate Realm weapon."
"However, I have provided the main material; you will need to find some auxiliary materials yourself. Because for a blade embryo, the most critical thing is for you to nurture it yourself. This is the detailed method for nurturing weapons," Di Chu said, and a stream of light landed on Luo Feng, which was a secret technique for nurturing weapons.
Di Chu looked at Luo Feng: "The Ancestor has ordered that even for personal disciples, merit points must be accumulated through one's own efforts."
"Master has already done a lot for this disciple," Luo Feng said with gratitude.
These three gifts were each of extremely high value.
"I am not good at teaching disciples," Di Chu looked at Luo Feng. "I am not good at the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, so you will have to rely on yourself. As for the Great Dao of the Origin of Destruction... it happens to be my path. If you have any confusion, you can come and ask me."
Luo Feng nodded: "This disciple understands."
"Is there anything you want to ask now?" Di Chu looked at Luo Feng.
"Not for the moment," Luo Feng shook his head.
His own Great Dao of the Origin of Destruction still had low accumulation, not even reaching the top level of the Chaos Realm. He was still in a period of rapid growth; he would ask when he truly encountered a bottleneck and progress became difficult.
"Good," Di Chu smiled and nodded. "As my personal disciple, there are many special tasks that you can choose with priority. Only afterwards will they be issued to the First-Rank Marquises of the royal family."
"Understood," Luo Feng nodded.
"Go, cultivate well, and become a God King early. Among my disciples... there is not a single God King," Di Chu sighed.
"This disciple will certainly work hard," Luo Feng immediately saluted, "This disciple takes his leave."
Luo Feng immediately withdrew from the great hall.
Looking at the chaotic darkness outside the great hall, Luo Feng was somewhat excited.
The ten 'Using Hunyuan Crystal Spirit Fruits' given by Master Di Chu had great benefits for cultivation just by smelling them. If he truly consumed them, how good would the effect be? Since coming to the Origin Continent, this was the first time he had encountered such a rare treasure!
Luo Feng couldn't wait to return, wanting to taste one first to try it out.
Inside the great hall, Di Chu watched Luo Feng leave.
"My third personal disciple," Di Chu looked on, shaking his head slightly, "It is a pity that my ability is limited, and I cannot guide a disciple's cultivation very well."
Like 'Di Qing' among the thirteen Emperors, because his realm was high enough, even when teaching disciples on different paths, he could quickly identify the disciples' problems and guide them to a good method.
And he, Di Chu? He could only give more precious resources! The rest would have to rely on the disciple himself.
"What is the point of taking disciples?" Di Chu looked at the endless heavens and earth outside the great hall. "This Origin World will eventually have a day of ending. By then, how many will still be able to survive?"
"Even the Ancestor is walking forward in the darkness. Di Qing has also embarked on this path, and he also has the hope of helping the Ancestor in the future."
"And the other twelve of us are indeed strong enough on the Origin Continent, but if we leave this Origin World, what do we count for?"
"And my disciples, I fear they don't even have the qualifications to leave the Origin World."
"Let us cherish the fate we have with them in this Origin World," Di Chu shook his head gently and closed his eyes to cultivate.
