Chapter 227: The Sixth Set: Mo Luo Sa

After the transformation of the Mo Yu Qingyan bloodline, further transformation and growth of the divine body are still required.

During his seclusion, Daohe Sect began its largest-ever recruitment drive, with the "Initial Candidate Selection" taking place simultaneously in every major city across the 155 Chaos Continents under Daohe Sect's control.

Anyone who passes the initial selection becomes an ordinary disciple of Daohe Sect.

These disciples will then be sent together to Huyang City for a harsher screening at the sect's headquarters, where the most elite among them will be chosen as "Core Disciples," the only ones eligible to cultivate within the Huyang City headquarters. The vast majority of ordinary disciples will cultivate at branch locations.

Above the Core Disciples, an extremely rare few brilliant geniuses will be selected, with the potential to become apprentices of the sect master, "Luohe Shenwang," and be listed as his recorded disciples.

As for Luohe Shenwang's direct disciples?

It depends on fate!

Since its founding, Luohe Shenwang has had only two direct disciples: one is "Senior Brother Mo Yu Qingyan," who followed the Shenwang since his Eternal True God stage; the other is "Second Senior Brother Xin Yu," chosen at the sect's founding.

…

Daohe Sect, sect headquarters grand hall.

Master Luo Feng sat high upon the dais, with Yuan, Mo Luo Sa, Xin Yu, and Liu Yu Shenwang seated on either side. Liu Yu Shenwang was now a guest advisor of Daohe Sect.

The hall also held thirty-two recorded disciples—these recorded disciples were surely the sect's highest echelon! Each held immense authority, overseeing countless sect affairs.

"Qingyan." Luo Feng sat high upon the dais, smiling at his senior disciple.

Mo Yu Qingyan was deeply moved.

His master was too powerful; the disciple's pressure was immense.

Especially with so many recorded disciples of extraordinary talent, each striving to become a Chaos Realm cultivator after "Second Senior Brother Xin Yu." The pressure on Mo Yu Qingyan as senior brother was unimaginable.

"From today, you are the fourth Elder of Daohe Sect. I bestow upon you a set of secret treasures, ten billion cosmic sands, and ten auxiliary cultivation artifacts." Luo Feng smiled, waving his hand and granting a complete set of Chaos Realm supreme-grade weapons and treasures, a blue jade vial, and a black jade vial.

The treasures bestowed upon the senior and second disciples were of equal value, but of different types.

The gifts given to Second Senior Brother Xin Yu focused on aiding cultivation—he had great potential and might one day become a Shenwang.

The gifts given to Senior Brother Mo Yu Qingyan focused on enhancing combat power and defense, for as one who achieved the Chaos Realm through bloodline, Luo Feng no longer expected him to become a Shenwang.

"Thank you, Master." Mo Yu Qingyan respectfully accepted.

"Master is still too stingy," Mo Luo Sa thought, watching from the side. "The treasures I gave Qingyan far exceed what Master gave him."

The 155 territories under Daohe Sect's control are primarily managed by Mo Luo Sa and Yuan, and naturally, they have received abundant resources and benefits—resources no less than those once held by the Shenwang of the former Food Nation.

Luo Feng treated his disciples equally.

Mo Luo Sa, however, was utterly biased toward Mo Yu Qingyan.

When the celebration ended—

"Congratulations, Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother."

The recorded disciples came to congratulate Mo Yu Qingyan; they all knew that Senior Brother still held a unique status in the eyes of the sect's elite, having followed the master far too early.

…

After the celebration ended, Mo Luo Sa sought out Luo Feng.

"Master, I've run out of food," Mo Luo Sa said, looking at Luo Feng. "When will there be some powerful food? I want to break through sooner."

"Powerful food isn't easy to find," Luo Feng chuckled. "I'm working on it."

Mo Luo Sa nodded obediently.

He longed for it—longed to advance further, to fully reach the Ultimate Realm. Then he could act in secrecy. As for now? As per Luo Feng's orders, he was absolutely forbidden from using Jie Beast powers outside until reaching the Ultimate Realm.

"You're still too weak. If you're exposed, trouble will be immense," Luo Feng said. "Once you break through, we can do many things."

An Ultimate Realm cultivator who masters a complete Dao possesses far more subtle methods than even Emperors or Lords.

For instance, in severing karmic ties: when the Dao is perfected, karmic connections can be perfectly severed. Then, when I act, even the two Ancient Nations will find tracing me a hundred or a thousand times harder.

In concealment, escape, curse-killing, battlefield coordination—Mo Luo Sa can assist me in every way.

"Since arriving on the Origin Continent, I've been holding back," Mo Luo Sa said.

"Hahaha…" Luo Feng laughed.

After seizing the Food Nation's territories, this was the first gathering of the Wheelhouse.

"Hahaha, Luohe's talent is truly extraordinary! Now, among the Wheelhouse, Luohe's strength ranks only behind Fengdu and Dadi Shenwang," said Da Zai Zi Zhu. Fengdu Empress sat silently, smiling. When Luo Feng was still in the Chaos Realm, she had already invited him—time had proven her insight!

"Indeed, without realizing it, he's already surpassed me," sighed Gui Xu Di Jun. "This is the gap of talent."

"I merely have more avatars," Luo Feng quickly said.

"Avatar techniques are themselves powerful," said Wu Xin Shenwang. "If I or Gui Xu had several powerful avatars, each maintaining the full power of the original body, our deterrent power would naturally be vastly different. The two Ancient Nations would likely dare not press us too hard."

"Indeed, at Luohe's level, even if he's aggressive and domineering, the two Ancient Nations won't dare act lightly," added He Huo Mo Zhu.

Aside from Yun Tian Shenwang, still at the first layer of Shenwang,

the other five—Da Zai Zi Zhu, He Huo Mo Zhu, Tian Du Wang, Gui Xu Di Jun, and Wu Xin Shenwang—all stood at the peak of Shenwang Second Layer. Yet none could directly resist an Emperor or Lord.

The "Master" of the Timeless Skiff, Pu Xin, and the widely recognized Luohe Shenwang—all also peak Shenwang Second Layer in raw power—but they possess the strength to confront Emperors.

That Master of the Skiff is the Origin Continent's greatest master of the Time Dao. He stands firm, allowing Emperors and Lords to attack him. Even if his present body is annihilated, his future and past bodies can restore it. The Master has a grudge against the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, yet even this Lord, who masters a complete Dao, cannot defeat him.

Pu Xin is even more mysterious. Every time he appears, it is only as a spiritual body. Only soul-based or mental will techniques can harm him—Emperors and Lords alike cannot touch him.

Luo Feng has many avatars, and each avatar is thick-skinned and tough! His physical body feels even stronger than many Shenwang Second Layer Hunyuan Bloodline creatures, rivaling a Zunzhu of the Destruction Army. One avatar alone gives Emperors and Lords headaches—let alone the fact that Luo Feng's number of avatars is unknown!

The Master of the Skiff, Pu Xin, and Luohe—such extraordinary survival capabilities truly make other peak Shenwang Second Layer cultivators envious.

!.

"One of Luohe's avatars rivals a Zunzhu of the Destruction Army. If seven or eight avatars fought together, wouldn't they rival the entire Destruction Army?" Da Zai Zi Zhu exclaimed.

"This is the power of cultivating multiple Daos," said Dadi Shenwang. "Luohe cultivates Life, Matter, and Destruction—each to Shenwang Second Layer. They complement each other, naturally granting him immense power. He is the only one on the entire Origin Continent to have reached Shenwang Second Layer in all three Daos."

"We who cultivate only one Dao are truly inferior," sighed He Huo Mo Zhu.

"If you reach the Ultimate Realm through one Dao, you'll be powerful too," Wu Xin Shenwang smiled.

Envy is useless.

Shenwang generally focus on a single Dao; cultivating more is increasingly difficult.

Even achieving Shenwang Second Layer in two Daos is exceedingly rare on the Origin Continent!

Three Daos, all to Shenwang Second Layer? No one has ever done it.

Luo Feng does cultivate three Daos: Life, Destruction, and Shengmie. But he has not yet reached Shenwang Second Layer in Shengmie.

During the gathering, everyone chatted casually.

Yun Tian Shenwang was the weakest present. She longed to break through; with her unique Hunyuan Bloodline, if she reached Shenwang Second Layer, her deterrent power would instantly surge to terrifying levels.

"When will I reach Shenwang Second Layer? All eight other members of the Wheelhouse are already there," Yun Tian Shenwang thought.

"Brother He Huo, can you get a complete corpse of a Shenwang Second Layer Hunyuan Bloodline creature?" Luo Feng asked He Huo Mo Zhu.

"A complete corpse?" He Huo Mo Zhu looked at Luo Feng. "That's difficult! Even the Thunder Ancient Nation usually sells only purified fragments of Hunyuan Bloodline. At most, they sell incomplete corpses."

"Because purified Hunyuan Bloodline is extracted only occasionally, there are few leftover incomplete corpses. You must wait for the right opportunity," He Huo Mo Zhu said. "As for complete corpses? I've never heard of any being sold."

Luo Feng nodded.

"Complete corpses have too many uses," He Huo Mo Zhu said. "For example, crafting powerful golems, feeding Jie Beasts, or using them for soul possession… They pose too great a threat to the two Ancient Nations. If anyone trades with them, the Ancient Nations will investigate—trace the reason for the purchase."

Luo Feng understood.

Incomplete corpses are the small leftovers after bloodline extraction. You must wait for opportunities. To gather enough to trigger Mo Luo Sa's transformation into the Ultimate Realm might take an extremely long time.

Complete corpses… involve too much risk.

"Making Mo Luo Sa break through to the Ultimate Realm is truly difficult," Luo Feng thought silently. "If we relied only on absorbing ambient energy—pure energy—it would take an endless span of time."

Perhaps because of the existence of a peak Jie Beast, the two Ancient Nations are also cautious in this regard.

He Huo Mo Zhu looked at Luo Feng.

Even with Luohe's strength, he still needs a complete Hunyuan Bloodline corpse?

"A complete Shenwang Second Layer Hunyuan Bloodline corpse? Impossible," He Huo Mo Zhu whispered. "But more powerful incomplete Hunyuan Bloodline corpses—even those of Hunyuan Lifeforms that have escaped the cage—can still be obtained."

Luo Feng was startled.

"What method?" Luo Feng could hardly believe it.

"Three alien beings," He Huo Mo Zhu whispered. "The two Ancient Nations breed vast numbers of Hunyuan Bloodline creatures using bloodlines brought from outside by the Two Primordials. Three alien Qiangzhe can also bring small remnants of Hunyuan Lifeforms."
