Chapter 192: The Squad of the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion

The establishment of the Blade River Sect was a monumental event across the dozens of Chaos States surrounding Huyang City! Countless cultivators were thrilled—many Eternal True Gods even arrived from within Shiguo and Yuguo, hoping to join the Blade River Sect.

“A sect established by the Divine King Luo He!”

“Divine King Luo He was already unquestionably number one when he was in the Chaos Realm, and after becoming a Divine King... he could immediately rival the Ruler of Shiguo!”

Who among the cultivators of the dozens of nearby Chaos States didn’t know how domineering the Ruler of Shiguo was? Over countless years, Shiguo had continuously invaded and annexed surrounding territories, even causing Yuguo considerable losses.

Luo Feng’s battle with the Ruler of Shiguo, where he forcibly seized ten Chaos States from them, had already demonstrated his overwhelming might!

Otherwise, why would the Ruler of Shiguo willingly cede ten Chaos States?

“The Blade River Sect’s first recruitment round already accepted 1,508 Eternal True God-level disciples, over 30,000 Void True God-level disciples, and the selection for True God-level disciples was extremely strict, yet over 50,000 were still recruited,” Morosa commented.

From the side, Morosa added, “We’ve already tried to raise the threshold as much as possible, but too many cultivators came to apply.”

“The numbers exceeded my expectations,” Luo Feng remarked.

With the sect newly established, operations would surely still have flaws, so the first round of recruitment had to be tightly controlled, and the standards were set high. Yet, in the end, the number of accepted disciples still far exceeded projections.

“It’s mainly because aside from our Twenty Chaos States, too many cultivators from Shiguo and Yuguo rushed over,” Morosa explained. “Neither the Ruler of Shiguo nor the Ruler of Yuguo established sects. In their countries, only the most elite, the most dazzling Eternal True Gods are invited as disciples. The numbers are too small.”

Luo Feng nodded. Back then, because he was dazzling enough, he had received an invitation from the Ruler of Yuguo, who had wanted to take him as a disciple.

But how many can shine so brightly?

“To the rulers of Shiguo and Yuguo, disciples don’t hold much significance,” Luo Feng said. For those at their level, the resources provided by their nations were mainly for their families and subordinates.

What truly mattered to them were the resources left by Yuan, and the cultivation of their Primordial Bloodline.

“Of the disciples we recruited this time, only about a third are from our Twenty Chaos States,” Morosa noted.

“I’ll be counting on you two for sect matters from now on,” Luo Feng smiled.

“No worries,” Morosa responded immediately.

Morosa and Yuan both nodded. Outwardly, they appeared to be just two Chaos Realm cultivators, but Morosa was actually Divine King-level. With them managing the daily affairs of the sect, it was more than sufficient.

“We may still need you, Luo He, to allocate some disciple quotas,” Yuan said. “Even if it’s just registered disciple quotas, it’ll encourage them to strive harder.”

Luo Feng nodded. “Give out ten registered disciple quotas and one personal disciple quota first.”

“That’s plenty,” Yuan agreed.

Hearing this, Morosa’s heart stirred. “Master is planning to recruit a second personal disciple? Then Qingyan’s position won’t be so secure anymore. That kid practices the bloodline cultivation system—I’ve been personally guiding him, providing resources... and yet he’s only managed to comprehend one Chaos Realm move! He’s far from reaching the Chaos Realm.”

Back in the day, Divine Lord Bloodcloud had mastered numerous Chaos Realm techniques and even formed a complete system.

“I’ll have to pressure him hard,” Morosa resolved silently. He knew all too well—his master was extraordinarily gifted, and now that the Blade River Sect was widely recruiting, the future personal and registered disciples would all be highly talented.

Unless Moyu Qingyan reached the Chaos Realm, only then, relying on his senior disciple status, could he secure his standing.

Otherwise, even as the senior disciple, merely being an Eternal True God would lead to him being sidelined among the future disciples.

The establishment of the Blade River Sect was a significant event in Huyang City, in Shiguo and Yuguo alike. But on the Origin Continent as a whole, it was a minor blip. At present, the Blade River Sect barely qualified even as a second-rate force!

In terms of territory and overall strength, it was too weak! Only the Sect Master, Divine King Luo He, could be considered a dominant force.

Time passed—half an era had gone by since the sect’s founding.

“Hmm? An invitation from Emperor Guixu to head to the Treasure Land ‘Dream Domain’?”

While in seclusion, Luo Feng received an invitation from the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion and immediately channeled his consciousness via token to the pavilion.

A pavilion manifested in illusion—Luo Feng had visited it several times since becoming an official member of the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion. Even after becoming a Divine King, he had received mission invites but had always declined.

“Luo He, my brother.” Inside the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion were two figures. One was the recruiter for this mission, Emperor Guixu, a burly man who called out cheerfully.

“Luo He,” said the other—a woman in pale green robes with one eye, emanating a faintly sinister aura. She was the Divine King Yuntian, also at the First Stage Divine King, just like Luo Feng. In the entire pavilion, only she and Luo Feng shared that level.

Luo Feng sat casually and asked, “Who else?”

“Divine King Wuxin will arrive soon,” Emperor Guixu replied.

Luo Feng nodded.

Moments later, a young man entered with a smile. “Guixu, anyone else?”

“Just the four of us this time,” Guixu replied with a smile. “It’s rare to have you here, Luo He. This is your first time agreeing to take part in a mission since joining.”

“Luo He’s been busy,” Wuxin added. “He just became a Divine King and fought with the Heavenly Kun Ruler, and now he’s founded a sect.”

“Just wrapped things up,” said Luo Feng.

“Founding a sect actually adds more burdens,” Divine King Yuntian remarked. “If a great disaster strikes in the future, the sect could become a weakness.”

“Luo He’s different from us,” Emperor Guixu said. “He excels in clone techniques and cultivates multiple paths. His survival methods are way superior. Even if trouble brews, how many would dare to fight Luo He to the death? On the Origin Continent, survival skills matter more than killing ability!”

“Indeed,” Wuxin nodded.

“You two still think your survival skills are weak,” Yuntian shook her head.

Guixu had been besieged by three Emperors in his past life, yet still managed to reincarnate in time.

Wuxin had strength on par with Guixu but was better at escaping. Despite multiple encirclements by the Ancient Flame Kingdom, he had repeatedly escaped. In the end, he chose to reincarnate to protect his bloodline.

After reincarnation, he hid so well that even the Ancient Flame Kingdom couldn’t trace him through causality. Instead, they became even more wary, reluctant to provoke his descendants.

Keeping the bloodline was a form of restraint.

The Ancient Flame Kingdom had learned a harsh lesson—when they killed Guixu’s wife, children, and entire city, they thought they could erase him completely. But he survived even under the joint assault of three Emperors, handing over his secret treasure and reincarnating in that instant.

Now, Guixu had used all means to retaliate against the Ancient Flame Kingdom, especially targeting newly ascended Divine Kings. He hunted them mercilessly, even destroying their resurrection vessels.

So far, he had utterly eliminated seven to eight Divine Kings of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, deeply wounding them.

“To the point—” Emperor Guixu sat down. “I plan to head to the Treasure Land ‘Dream Domain’. I invited all members, but only the four of us agreed.”

Yuan had left several Treasure Lands on the Origin Continent.

Some required quotas.

Some were open to all—but because there were no restrictions, the threshold to survive inside was terrifyingly high! Powerful forces would monopolize them, and entering meant fighting your way in!

“Dream Domain…” Luo Feng naturally understood the intelligence regarding this Treasure Land. “With my current power, I can’t fight my way in! If I relied on connections with the Ancient Flame Kingdom, I’d have to serve them.”

That’s what a guest official was—if you wanted access, the Ancient Flame Kingdom could let you in, but only in exchange for numerous missions. And most treasures obtained would go to the royal family. That was the price of entry.

“Normally, we three always act together,” Emperor Guixu smiled. “With Luo He joining, things will be much easier. When danger arises, Luo He can help scout.”

“Leave it to me,” Luo Feng nodded.

For scouting danger, he could simply dispatch weaker clones.

“Going forward, the four of us will act together. Divine King Yuntian handles domains,” Guixu said. “Wuxin and I will fight strong enemies. Luo He handles scouting.”

“I used to do all the scouting,” Wuxin laughed. “My escape skills are great, but I only have one body. When big trouble hits, I can’t run fast enough. But now with Luo He, his scouting is way better.”

Because Luo Feng’s clones didn’t even care about escaping!

“Do the others usually not participate?” Luo Feng asked.

“Queen Fengdu and Great Earth Divine King—they’re both on par with Emperors or Monarchs!” Wuxin replied. “Unless it’s a huge event, they won’t join. To them, we’re more like burdens.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Queen Fengdu had a great reputation and had never fallen out with any faction.

The Great Earth Divine King was fierce against the Ancient Thunder Kingdom, but acted alone.

“Master Great Freedom is second only to the Ruler of the Myriad Realms, and a personal disciple of the Ruler. With his high position, he doesn’t lack resources and rarely joins actions,” Wuxin explained. “King Tiandu is a personal disciple of the Flame Wind Ancestor, and he too rarely participates. As for the Blackfire Demon Lord, he rules a major force and won’t act lightly.”

“Only the top-tier resources of the Origin Continent can attract those three,” Wuxin smiled. “Me, Guixu, and Sister Yuntian are all solo operators, which is why we act together often.”

“Now we have Luo He with us,” Guixu laughed heartily. “Though he now rules a sect, his multiple clones give us an edge.”

“Our team’s stronger than ever,” Wuxin said with satisfaction.

“It’s thanks to you and Brother Guixu leading us—I’m the weakest of the bunch,” the green-robed one-eyed woman said.

“This is my first mission—I’m still new. Please don’t hold back if anything comes up,” Luo Feng said.

“You’re too modest,” Guixu replied sincerely. He held Luo Feng in high regard—having just become a Divine King, Luo Feng was already this powerful. What heights would he reach in the future? He could be a huge asset in Guixu’s path of vengeance.

Perhaps Luo He didn’t yet wish to antagonize the Ancient Flame Kingdom.

But by cooperating and seizing Treasure Lands with Luo He, Guixu could strengthen himself.

“The Dream Domain requires us—Guixu and Wuxin—to fight our way in,” Luo Feng understood. Guixu and Wuxin were among the peak of the Second Stage Divine King level, stronger than even the Heavenly Kun Ruler. That was usually the upper limit for Second Stage Divine Kings.

To reach the Emperor or Monarch tier?

According to known methods on the Origin Continent:

—Comprehend a complete Origin Path, like the Ruler of the Myriad Realms.

—Achieve the Ultimate Divine King level, like the Emperors and Monarchs of the two Ancient Kingdoms, requiring unimaginable resources.

—Or be supremely gifted, like Queen Fengdu and the Master of the Mother River, mastering multiple paths and cultivating powerful inheritances… to rival that echelon.

“If there are no objections, we’ll gather at Huangyao Mountain in three days,” said Emperor Guixu.
