Devouring the Starry Sky: You will become stronger through practice

have to say.

Emperor Chuyu, who had been promoted to Marquis Chuyu, had nothing to say about Luo Shen. Although there was some discomfort during their first meeting in the imperial capital, he almost always responded to Luo Shen's requests afterwards.

Almost all kinds of life, blood of various levels and divine corpses that Luo Shen needed were found for him.

In addition, Luo Shenben can face the origin of life directly.

Originally, he thought he would break through with the Great Dao of the Origin of Gale, but instead he was overtaken by the spiritual lineage of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life. Although he still hasn't broken through to the level of God King, his improvement in the divine body can be clearly felt.

Another reason is that because of the integration of three treasures exchanged for merit points, such as the Heart of Life, Luo Shen's cultivation speed in the eighth level of the smelting method has been greatly accelerated.

I estimate that I will be able to succeed in my practice in some time.

He was practicing in seclusion in the cave, trying to continue to delve deeper into the spiritual path of life.

"Brother Abyss!"

Di Chuyu's message interrupted Luo Shen's retreat and woke him up from it.

"Your Highness, is there anything important?"

Luo Shen replied.

Because he received a lot of help from Di Chuyu, the relationship between Luo Shen and him has eased during this period. At least when he was in seclusion and cut off contact, Di Chuyu was able to contact Luo Shen directly.

Of course, this is also because before the retreat, Luo Shen told Di Chuyu that if there were any good guest missions, he could contact him.

After all, the good guest missions are what everyone is scrambling for. Only the first-class officials can get the news and distribute the tasks in advance and have a choice. Otherwise, other guest officials almost always take the tasks at random, and it is considered a blessing from heaven to be able to receive a good task.

Although his strength is on the rise during this period, Luo Shen is unwilling to get involved in too many trivial matters, but if there are some good guest missions that are short in time, light in tasks, and have high merit points, that would be the best.

After all, merit points can be exchanged for cultivation resources and speed up one's own cultivation efficiency.

However, Luo Shen had seen before that the guest missions on the Guest Order were almost all thankless tasks, either guarding cities in remote territories or dealing with conflicts with other ancient countries.

Although the conflicts with other ancient countries are only at the level of Chaos Lords, who knows if a powerful Chaos Lord who transcends the level will suddenly appear?

The strong people who can reach this level usually cultivate the power of Hunyuan, or use the help of Hunyuan materials to cultivate. Their methods are strange and unpredictable. Even the strong people who are at the same level of Chaos Lord are unwilling to provoke them easily.

Luo Shen was unwilling to take on this task.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but the key point is that these guest missions are difficult to complete, and the merit points are not high. At most, there are only a few hundred thousand merit points. Even the first volume of some top inheritances cannot be exchanged. So Luo Shen simply chose to give up.

"Didn't you ask me to keep an eye out for good guest missions for you before?"

Di Chuyu's hearty laughter came from the guest token. In addition to being able to prove one's identity, this guest token also has the functions of viewing the guest task list and communicating, and even has the function of exchanging merit points.

"The tasks sent down by the higher-ups are usually chosen by us, the first-class marquises. If no one wants them, they will fall to the next level, where only guest officials and second-class marquises can choose them."

"I just found a guest mission that meets your requirements. Are you interested?"

Di Chuyu still maintained his usual attitude towards Luo Shen, attaching importance to him, making Luo Shen feel clearly valued.

If it weren't for the secret place described by the other party, which really made Luo Shen feel something was wrong, I'm afraid Luo Shen would have been unable to help but agree.

But even so.

Facing Di Chuyu's continuous overtures, Luo Shen was still somewhat moved and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Di Chuyu smiled and said, "You and I are in a relationship where we prosper together and suffer together. The stronger you are, the more help you can give me. Maybe in the future I will have to count on you to help me defeat Di Chuxiong."

Luo Shen smiled and said nothing.

It is not an easy task to defeat Di Chuxiong, the only first-class marquis who has broken through to the transcendent level of Chaos Lord.

Seeing that Luo Shen didn't say anything, Di Chuyu didn't care, but introduced him to the mission he had mentioned before: "This mission is to serve as an inspector of the core city of my Di Chu lineage, 'Chu City'."

As one of the thirteen major branches, the Di Chu lineage naturally also has a core city.

And this core city, Chu City, is located on the southwest side of the imperial capital. That incomparably huge core city, which is larger than any large city Luo Shen has ever seen, is Chu City!
"As a large city, Chu City is not as big as the Imperial Capital, but it also has three Chaos Lords patrolling and guarding it."

Of course, as a large city, and the core city of the Emperor Chu lineage, there are naturally garrisons in Chu City, but the strength of the garrison is relatively average. At best, it can deal with some strong people under the Chaos Overlord. If you want to deal with enemies at the level of Chaos Overlord, only a very small number of Eternal True Gods relying on the help of the legion can do this.

Therefore, patrols are necessary.

"Of course, if it's a particularly big problem, the guarding God King will take action."

"In fact, as a patrol officer of Chu City, there are usually very few opportunities to make a move. The most important thing is that the merit of this mission is higher than that of guarding a border city. For the patrol officer position, there will be a thousand merits every century, and the maximum number of consecutive terms is 100 centuries."

"It's equivalent to a hundred epochs of time, and you can get 100,000 merit points!"

One hundred thousand merit points!
With so many merit points, if it were any other guest mission, one would inevitably have to fight with other Chaos Lord-level strongmen, and there might even be danger to one's life. In comparison, this inspection mission is simply the best.

"Because this is a guest mission for my Di Chu lineage, I will arrange it first. If you want, I will arrange it for you now."

Di Chuyu's voice was heard.

"What duties does this inspection have to perform? What are the requirements?"

Luo Shen asked.

Judging from the remuneration alone, this task is indeed worth taking. After all, guarding a border city for ten thousand centuries only earns 100,000 merits, while patrolling Chu City for a hundred centuries also earns 100,000 merits. More importantly, being a patrol officer in Chu City takes less time and is less dangerous.

After all, it is a frontier city, who knows if a powerful Chaos Lord of a higher level will appear?
In the city of Chu, if such a ruthless person appeared, he would probably be slapped into the city wall by the guarding God King and would not be able to get him out.

"There are some requirements, but they are not strict. The main thing is that you must live in Chu City during your inspection period, and you are not allowed to take leave for more than a thousand days within a century." Di Chuyu briefly described the task requirements.

Hearing this request, Luo Shen chose to accept it on the spot.

It is not difficult to practice in another place, and you can also earn some merit points, which can be exchanged for practice resources in the future. Why not do it?
Soon after accepting the task, Luo Shen quickly received the task assigned to him - to serve as the inspector of Chu City!
The next day, Luo Shen prepared to take up his post. Before leaving, Luo Shen told Ju Mang and Chao Yong, "If you encounter any problems, remember to send a message to Chu Yuhou. If anything happens, I will rush back as soon as possible."

After all, a place like the imperial capital is different from Huyang City. There is no cap on the maximum combat power. Although no one dares to challenge the rules left by the ancestor of Yanfeng, ordinary beasts are no better than guests after all. If they accidentally hurt someone, they are very likely to be targeted. By then, even Luo Shen may not be able to save them.

"Don't worry, Boss. We won't go out casually while you're away."

Chao Yong patted his chest and guaranteed, "I don't like to move. Ju Mang has been in seclusion for a while. I guess he won't move until he breaks through the Chaos Lord."

Hearing Chaoyong's assurance, Luo Shen was speechless and amused.

If Chao Yong had focused on cultivation, with his powerful divine body as a strange beast, he would probably have reached the peak level of Chaos Lord.

In fact, reminding them was just a casual thing to do. After all, there were still many exotic beasts in this imperial capital. In addition, they were taken care of by the first-class marquis Chu Yuhou. As long as they were not specifically targeted by Emperor Chuxiong, there was no need to worry too much.

So Luo Shen took office and began to inspect the city of Chu.

Chu City.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Shen has been in Chu City for more than a decade as an inspector.

After all, Luo Shen is a guest official of the first class, and he has displayed the strength of the peak Chaos Overlord level. This means that most of the time, Luo Shen does not have to complete many tasks himself, but can just rely on his subordinates to solve them.

Besides, this Chu City is the territory of the Emperor Chu lineage, and in the entire Emperor Chu lineage, there is only one first-class marquis, Emperor Chu Yu.

Naturally, some clever young men of the royal family did not dare to cause trouble while Luo Shen was on duty, for fear of having to confront Luo Shen or Marquis Chu Yu. They were afraid that their families would force them to apologize.

But after all, a playboy is still a playboy, and there are always some royal family members who play too much and forget the situation.

After all, most of the royal family members who dared to take action in Chucheng are Eternal True Gods, and not all of them are ordinary Eternal True Gods. Almost all of them are on the route of divine power. In addition, the treasures bestowed by their elders are extremely powerful. If they really go crazy, it will take a guest official at the level of a Chaos Lord to take action.

Although there are three guest officials in Chu City, it will always be Luo Shen's turn.

Just a few days ago, Luo Shen encountered a battle between two top Eternal True Gods, which resulted in one-tenth of the area in the north of the city being destroyed. If Luo Shen had not arrived in time to stop the two, the entire north of the city would have been burned down.

Of course, when Luo Shen took action, these two Eternal True Gods had no choice but to surrender.

The punishment for these two eternal true gods of the royal family is to be imprisoned in the ice prison of Chu City for a hundred centuries. No one can release them privately, otherwise not only the two of them, but also the person who released them will receive more severe punishment.

However, although the Ice Prison is the most stringent prison in the entire Chu City, it can only be used for guarding. Many of the punishments in it dare not be used on these royal descendants, or in other words, they dare not use it to the extent that even the Eternal True God is afraid of it.

Therefore, actually being imprisoned in the ice prison would at most restrain them and allow them to be quiet for a while.

Luo Shen had seen this very clearly during this century. In addition, when he was in the primitive universe, he had actually witnessed many secret operations of the human race's top leaders, so he didn't care much about it.

Just turn a blind eye.

After all, this Chu City is still the Chu City of the ancient Yanfeng Kingdom, and it is also the Chu City of the Emperor Chu lineage. Even if the ancestors of the Emperor Chu lineage are harsh to them, they will never take their lives.

Apart from this mission, Luo Shen actually lived a pretty comfortable life.

The inspectors did not have to go out every day. They only had to go out when they received the signal. Therefore, most of the time, Luo Shen was in the resting place left for him by the Inspection Department, practicing hard, intending to successfully practice the eighth level of the Smelting Method as soon as possible, or to break through the Avenue of the Origin of Life or the Avenue of Wild Winds to the Divine King level.

But the time is too short and the effect is average.

There has not been much improvement in either the smelting method or the origin of the Dao.

On this day, Luo Shen had just returned from a stroll in Chu City and was about to find a place to practice seriously for a while, when he suddenly received a message from Di Chuyu.

"Brother Abyss, would you please come in?"

Greetings from Di Chuyu.

Don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that Di Chuyu is now the source of his missions. It is precisely because of his help that he was able to get the guest mission of patrolling Chu City, so Luo Shen's attitude was very good.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Although I've been a bit busy lately, I'm doing OK."

However, Di Chuyu just smiled at Luo Shen's words. He did not expose Luo Shen's slacking off for a while. Instead, he said, "I have a pretty good task. Are you interested in taking it?"

As if to let Luo Shen know the difficulty of this task, Di Chuyu added: "This task needs to be completed outside the city. It is quite difficult, but the reward is generous."

"What mission?" Luo Shen asked.

During the term of the inspection mission, he cannot leave Chu City for a thousand days. If the tasks are not too difficult, he can still consider it. But if the tasks are difficult and take a long time to complete, then he will need to think about it.

But he was the one who arranged all of Luo Shen's inspection tasks, so how could he not know the requirements of the inspection?

So Di Chuyu explained: "The main difficulty of this mission is to find out the identity of this Chaos Lord, but I think that with your ability, it should not take a few days, and after completing it, you will get 10,000 merit points."

As he spoke, he also passed on the detailed mission information.

Luo Shen watched and checked the tasks.

The ancient country of Yanfeng is actually divided into many Chaos States, and among these Chaos States, there are also many cities similar to Liuyin City, whose purpose is to mine stone essence. In the Qingchong Chaos State, there is a city built specifically for mining Liuyin stone essence, named Liuyin City.

In the past, Liuyin City's stone essence mining plan was very smooth, and in every Chaos Era, the silver stone essence would be delivered on time and in accurate quantities. However, in recent Chaos Eras, the amount of silver stone essence transported by Liuyin City has been greatly reduced, and it has also been under a ban during this period.

Therefore, the top leaders suspected that there was a Chaos Lord who maliciously blocked Liuyin City.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and it has happened several times in the past, so this time they directly issued a guest mission. As long as they find out the news about Liuyin City and confirm the identity of the person who is causing the sabotage, they will get 10,000 merit points. If they can capture this possible person alive, they can also get an additional merit reward of 5,000. (End of this chapter)
