People are devouring, and they are late bloomers.

Chapter 171 Taking over the mission
Time flies, and a thousand days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Su Heng withdrew from the time-comprehension guidance given by Emperor Xuan.

One thousand days is equivalent to ten million years in the primordial universe!

Over such a long period of time, he gained a deeper understanding of the fundamental principle of time.

However, that's all for now, since Di Xuan's guidance was more about filling in the gaps and making up for any deficiencies.

To go further, Su Heng must gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental Dao, something even an emperor would find difficult to help him with.

The only thing I can do is give a high-level explanation.

However, to make progress through this kind of explanation, it would take at least an epoch!
Su Heng naturally doesn't have that much time to cultivate right now.

"Awake?" Di Xuan asked with a smile.

A thousand years of cultivation made him even more aware of just how monstrous his disciple's talent truly was!

Now he has no doubt that Su Heng has entered the God King realm, and it seems that it is even possible that he may even surpass the God King!

"Yes." Su Heng respectfully bowed to Emperor Xuan.

In any case, Di Xuan is now his teacher, and his guidance is beyond question.

"Go, cultivate diligently, and become a God King as soon as possible." Di Xuan nodded, then waved slightly at Su Heng.

Su Heng's current realm is undoubtedly at the top of the Chaos Realm, but as long as he does not become a God King, his strength will eventually be limited.

Moreover, in the Origin Continent, only those who stand at the God King realm are truly at the pinnacle!

The Chaos Realm is still far from sufficient.

"This disciple will certainly do his best," Su Heng said with a hint of confidence.

At the God-King level, if he wanted to, he definitely couldn't be confined for very long!

Not long after, Su Heng left the main hall and departed from the Di Xuan Palace.

Inside Su Heng Cave.

Although a thousand days have passed, Su Heng's cave dwelling has not actually changed much.

The only change was that Luo Feng and Morosa moved out and went to their own cave dwelling.

However, upon receiving news of Su Heng's return, Luo Feng immediately rushed to pay his respects to Su Heng, accompanied by Marquis Xuanhui.

"Teacher," Luo Feng said, bowing to Su Heng first.

If Su Heng hadn't come back then, he might have been able to save his life, but he would have inevitably exposed some of his skills and even suffered serious injuries as a result!
Therefore, Luo Feng was still very grateful to Su Heng.

As for Xuan Hui, needless to say, although he had thirty peaceful cultivation periods, he hardly had to worry about his life.

However, since this matter was caused by his Xuanhui Marquis's mansion, he should thank Su Heng properly, both out of courtesy and reason.

Su Heng simply waved his hand slightly at their thanks, not paying them much attention.

The reason Luo Feng was in danger was mainly due to his own factors.

As for Xuan Hui, the two of them were simply mutually beneficial. He sought the inheritance of the Emperor Xuan lineage, so naturally he had to bear the corresponding consequences.

He wouldn't complain to Xuan Hui about this.

Moreover, the final outcome was ultimately good; he was accepted as a disciple by Emperor Xuan, and the Xuanhui Marquis's Mansion gained great fame as a result!
"Teacher, have you really been accepted as a disciple by the Emperor?"

After thanking him, Luo Feng asked somewhat excitedly.

It's no wonder he was so agitated, given that it concerns one of the thirteen emperors.

Although Luo Feng was almost certain of this news, how could it be as accurate as if the person involved said it himself?

Xuan Hui, standing to the side, also looked at Su Heng with excitement. No one admired the thirteen emperors more than they, the royal family!

"That's right, I've already been accepted as a disciple by my master," Su Heng nodded in acknowledgment.

This is nothing to hide, and it probably won't be long before the news of him being accepted as a disciple by the Emperor spreads throughout the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom!
"Just as expected!" Luo Feng and Xuan Hui exchanged a glance, both of them extremely excited.

Although Su Heng was the one who was accepted as a disciple, both of them could still benefit from it.

Putting everything else aside, the tasks alone are much better than those of other first-class marquises!

"Alright, let's get down to business." Su Heng glanced at the two of them, then slowly said, "Although I've been accepted as a disciple by my master, I still lack a lot of resources. The only way to obtain resources is through merit!"

"Therefore, we must do some tasks in advance. Ordinary tasks won't do; we need at least Heaven-level tasks!"

The missions in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom are divided into three levels: King-level, Earth-level, and Heaven-level.

Each level represents a large amount of resources!
Of course, you can't just accept any mission you want. Some missions must be personally assigned by the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom to a first-class marquis or a disciple personally taught by the emperor.

Heavenly-level missions are one of them!
The reason Su Heng said they should accept the mission ahead of time was because, five eras later, a Heavenly-level resource in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom would be opened.

Normally, that would be a peaceful period of cultivation for Marquis Xuanhui, during which he would not receive any missions.

However, as long as Xuan Hui ends his peaceful cultivation period ahead of schedule, he can directly participate in Heaven-level missions!
Heavenly-level missions can generally only be completed by the individual, but at a certain stage, external assistance can be sought!
Su Heng and Luo Feng can both become external forces!

At that time, all they need to do is help Marquis Xuanhui achieve a good ranking, and they will be allocated a large amount of resources.

Whether it's used to assist in cultivation or for any other purpose, it's undoubtedly a good thing!
Unfortunately, only first-class marquises and god-kings within the royal family can undertake Heaven-level missions; otherwise, Su Heng would have easily captured the first-ranked enemy.

"A Heaven-level mission?" Xuan Hui was somewhat intrigued.

The resources for the Heavenly-level missions were obtained by the founder of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom from outside the cage!

Those resources would be of great need even to the thirteen emperors.

Each Heavenly-level mission is usually assigned to these first-class marquises and ordinary first-level God-Kings by the Emperor and God-Kings.

But even after the resources have been allocated, they are still incredibly precious!

At least at the Chaos Realm level, it can enable Xuan Hui to quickly reach the Transcendent Realm, and there is even a high chance that he will surpass the God King level in the future!
With this in mind, Xuanhui made a decision.

If you miss this top-tier mission, who knows how many years it will be before the next one comes?

Even though his current cultivation level is not yet at the peak of the Chaos Realm, with the help of Su Heng and Luo Feng, obtaining a decent spot should not be a problem.

“In that case, I will apply to the Ancestor today!” Xuan Hui was a decisive person. After saying this, he quickly left Su Heng’s cave.

To apply for an early end to the peaceful cultivation period, one must have the help of the God King Ancestor!
The ancestor of Xuanhui's lineage was none other than the God King Xuanfeng!

Su Heng was not surprised by Xuan Hui's departure, and he turned his gaze to Luo Feng.

"So, is the chosen inheritance suitable?" Su Heng asked with a faint smile.

Both Di Xuan and Di Chu are emperors, and their inherited skills are largely the same. If no problems arise, Luo Feng will likely choose the two primordial inheritances: the Origin of Life and the Destruction Blade Technique!

Sure enough, Luo Feng quickly announced the number of inheritances he had chosen.

Although Xuan Hui's help increased Luo Feng's initial credit, it was still too little for him.

Therefore, the two chosen techniques are one related to physical strength and the other to swordsmanship for combat.

With their complementary abilities, he should be able to reach the transcendent state of Chaos Realm very soon!

"Yes, feel free to ask me any questions about the origin of destruction. Focus on your cultivation; this Heavenly-level mission might be the key to gaining your attention!" Su Heng nodded slightly and then reminded him.

If Luo Feng performs exceptionally well in this Heavenly-level mission, he will certainly receive a great deal of credit!
Even Emperor Xuan would take him as a disciple!

Of course, this is just a probability. After all, Emperor Xuan has already taken Su Heng as his disciple. Unless Luo Feng shows enough monstrous talent, it is impossible for the Emperor to take two disciples at the same time in a short period of time.

However, one thing is certain: Luo Feng definitely made a significant contribution to this Heavenly-level mission!
As long as you have enough merit, it doesn't matter whether you exchange it for the inheritance of resources!

"I understand, teacher." Luo Feng nodded heavily, placing this matter at the top of his mind.

Having just broken through to the Chaos Realm, he still has a period of rapid development ahead of him.

After digesting the Hunyuan inheritance and the perfect divine body, he might be able to break through to the Chaos Realm and transcend the level in one fell swoop!

"Go back now, we'll show off our skills again later!" Seeing this, Su Heng waved for Luo Feng to leave as well.

In fact, his arrival did indeed change some of Luo Feng's growth trajectory.

But so what?
As long as he is strong enough, the so-called restrictions on inheritance are nothing but a blank sheet of paper that he can tear open at will!

And it won't take him long to become a strongman!

Within two hundred cycles at most, he is confident that he will become a God-King. Once he creates the Chaos Origin Bloodline Secret Technique, he can easily reach the level of the Emperor and others.

If he even comprehends a few fundamental principles, it's not impossible for him to surpass the God King!

They might turn around and help Luo Feng, and he might even make faster progress than Luo Feng did on his own!

In general, Luo Feng's cultivation level was definitely no lower than in the original story during these two hundred epochs!
Xuandu, within an incomparably magnificent building.

Xuan Hui landed slowly outside the building, and after being informed by his guards, he quickly entered the building.

After many twists and turns, he arrived at a grand hall.

"Grandson Xuanhui requests an audience with Ancestor Xuanfeng!" Xuanhui called out towards the main hall.

Soon, the two stone doors of the main hall were pushed open, revealing a wide passageway.

Seeing this, Xuanhui quickly stepped into the passage.

After walking for a while, he met the Xuanfeng God King.

He was an elderly man with a gentle expression.

"Xuanhui pays respects to the Ancestor." Xuanhui immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing the old man.

"Hmm, get up." The old man glanced at Xuan Hui before nodding. "What brings you here?"

As a first-class marquis, Xuanhui still held some status.

"Ancestor, I came here to end my peaceful cultivation period ahead of schedule!" Xuan Hui truthfully told Xuan Feng God King.

"Hmm?" A hint of doubt flashed in Xuanfeng's eyes, and then a wisp of his consciousness immediately dispersed.

Before long, his eyes brightened.

As a god-king, he spent most of his time in seclusion cultivating, only occasionally checking on recent events.

Just now, he found out about the big battle that happened in front of Wanfenglou not long ago.

Su Heng, Luo Feng!
These two guest elders from the Xuanhui Marquis's mansion are quite different. One of them has the strength of the peak of the Chaos Realm, and the other has a powerful force that can be considered even within the Chaos Realm Transcendence Realm!
Even the Emperor himself took him as his disciple!
"You've come for the next Heavenly-level mission?" Xuanfeng God King asked after a moment of contemplation.

“Yes, Ancestor!” Xuan Hui nodded.

The Heavenly-level missions are actually traceable, since the Flame Wind Ancestor would bring back a large amount of resources from outside the Cage every ten thousand or so years.

The allocation of these resources is the origin of the Heavenly-level missions.

A considerable amount of time has passed, and it's about time for the Ancestor of Flamewind to return!

"Are your two guest retainers willing to lend a hand?" Xuanfeng God King continued to ask.

Ending his peaceful cultivation period prematurely also means that Xuan Hui has lost the protection of the Emperor Xuan lineage.

At that time, your life could be in danger!
What's more, this is the most difficult Heaven-level mission!

Without guarantees, Xuanfeng God King would naturally not agree to Xuanhui's request.

“They are willing to help,” Xuan Hui replied obediently.

"Since that's the case, then I grant your request." Upon hearing this, the Divine King Xuanfeng said no more and immediately agreed to Xuanhui's request.

Although external forces can only intervene in a limited number of stages, those are precisely the most dangerous stages!
After all, how could the lives of royal family members be compared to those of ordinary retainers or outsiders?

“However, your strength is still too low. You should spend this time cultivating here!” Xuanfeng God King glanced at Xuanhui and suddenly said.

With his level of understanding, he could naturally see that Xuan Hui was only at the peak of the Chaos Realm, but was actually still a long way from the true peak of the Chaos Realm.

If these gaps are not bridged, it will only embarrass Xuanfeng in the Heavenly-level missions. Rather than doing that, it would be better to take advantage of this time to give Xuanhui some pointers.

With Xuanhui's comprehension, he should be able to gain a lot!
Upon hearing Xuanfeng God King's words, Xuanhui was overjoyed and immediately agreed, thus beginning his cultivation at Xuanfeng Royal Palace.

However, he didn't forget to tell Su Heng and the other person the news.

As the days passed, Su Heng, having obtained two inheritances that allowed him to directly cultivate to the ultimate level of God King, patiently went into seclusion to digest these inheritances.

If he can digest even a portion of the inheritance, he could probably dominate within the first level of the God King realm!
As for Luo Feng, he is even more short of time than Su Heng!
Fortunately, both of them had avatars residing in the primordial universe, so in theory, their time was being accelerated ten thousand times.

Five eras are equivalent to fifty trillion years of the original universe!
Given the long period of time they've spent in seclusion, and their exceptional talent, it's foreseeable that their strength will experience another significant boost once they end their training!

This period is equally important for the other first-class marquises.

Everyone knows that the Ancestor of Flame Wind is about to return, and at that time, a Heavenly-level mission will be just around the corner.

Given the abundance of resources, they naturally wouldn't pass up this opportunity.

Moreover, this is a mission for the entire Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, not just for one lineage!
Nearly a hundred First-Class Marquises and God-King level experts participated!
