The Sacred Ruins

In this foreign land, thousands of years had passed. Many geniuses had risen and many beauties had aged. The world had changed from generation to generation and not many people could leave behind any traces.

As for Chu Feng and the other outsiders, they kept a low profile and had been cultivating bitterly. They were in seclusion and no natives had come to attack them. They had experienced their power before.

Chu Feng put down the mottled scripture and stood up from under the ancient tree. Time hadn't left any traces on his face. He was still young, but his eyes had become much deeper.

Over the years, he had mainly comprehended secret techniques, flipped through the emperor's scriptures, studied breathing techniques, and studied all sorts of profound and unfathomable ancient secret manuals.

Most importantly, he was recuperating. He wanted to allow his body to rest due to the fatigue of his evolution. He wanted his boiling vitality to cool down and reach an ideal state so that he could prepare for his next advancement.

The mountain peak he was on was relatively quiet. There were few people who came to disturb him. When he walked down the mountain, he found that a valley in the distance seemed to be shaking. Rocks were rolling and the mountain was cracking.

In the valley, there was a mang ox that was shining with black light. It was breathing in and out. Every breath it took would cause the valley to Rumble. With just a little bit of force, it would shake the valley.

The Black Yak was truly worthy of its name. It couldn't be any taller. After revealing its true form, it was like a pitch-black mountain that was pressing down on half of the valley.

Chu Feng walked over and removed the diamond chakram from his wrist. With a shake of his hand, he threw it onto the black yak's body. The flowing dao patterns immediately caused it to moo loudly. Even its mountain-like black body began to tremble, it was somewhat unable to withstand the pressure.

"It's too heavy. You're already a quasi-cosmic level entity. Are you trying to eat beef patties by pressing a DAO achieving tool onto my body?"The black yak shouted.

Its main body was as black and shiny as a waterfall. White Mist was spewing out of its mouth and nose, and all the bones in its body were crackling.

"For your sake, I have to be strict. Besides, I didn't use any quasi-cosmic level magical power."Chu Feng left.

Not long after, he arrived near a pond. Ouyang Dalong was lying on the side of the pond like a toad and sleeping soundly.

Chu Feng picked him up and threw him directly into an abyss not far away. There were gusts of cold wind and wails of ghosts and gods.

"Damn it, I can even dream that I've entered the Netherworld Netherworld where the heavens and earth naturally formed and started cultivating again? Oh, it's not a dream. Who threw me down here? Save Me!"Ouyang Dalong cried miserably.

Not long after, Chu Feng went to see the six-eared macaque siblings. They were sitting cross-legged within the essence flames of extreme Yang and were cultivating quite seriously.

Chu Feng walked over and looked at them again and again. In the end, he made a move against the monkey and was too embarrassed to touch his sister.

He took out the time furnace and opened it. He didn't activate the Flames and threw the monkey in.

"Oh!"The monkey immediately exploded.

How could he not know the origin of this furnace? He had just killed a dao ancestor not long ago and now everyone in the Heavenly Court knew that it was a cremation furnace!

"Demon Chu, you've finally done the same thing to me!"The monkey was indignant.

"Being willing to help others is a noble virtue. Don't thank me for helping you temper yourself!"Chu Feng turned around and left.

All these years, he hadn't even let yellow ox off the hook. He was also sternly urging him. From time to time, he would throw a bolt of lightning, blasting the snow-white Qilin's body until it was charred black.

Of course, the most miserable one was still Zi Luan. This proud little bird loved to slack off and didn't like to cultivate. She had long forgotten what she had said.

Chu Feng wasn't polite. Every time he saw him, he would immediately send a dense wave of lightning over. It struck the proud little bird until it couldn't stop screeching. Its entire body was covered in lightning and was trembling with a rustling sound. It was a complete mess.

At the bottom of a broken cliff, the Li clan's most powerful core member of this era, Li Jiuxiao, was brandishing his sword and continuously stabbing towards the void.

Sword radiance shot up into the sky and tore apart the sky. His body was covered in nomological runes that spread outwards, causing the world to rumble as if it was about to explode at any moment.

Chu Feng was very familiar with him. Back then, when he came to the world of the Yang realm, the first people he met in the great wilderness were Li Jiuxiao and Ji Caixuan.

At that time, the two could be said to be rich and famous. They were currently fighting and were ranked within the top ten divine kings of the Yang realm. It could be said that their names were world-shaking.

The various encounters back then seemed to still be before his eyes. Chu Feng himself believed that he didn't have any enmity with Li Jiuxiao, but that encounter wasn't very harmonious either.

At this time, seeing Li Jiuxiao brandishing his sword below, Chu Feng raised his hand and controlled the laws of Heaven and earth. Then, like a torrential downpour, large amounts of runes poured down and drowned him.

"It's you again..."Li Jiuxiao brandished his sword and struck out Thunderbolts to resist the rain of laws. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked as flowing light burst through the dike. Energy was surging everywhere.

As long as he met Chu Feng, Li Jiuxiao's anger would surge. He couldn't help but go crazy. Even if the other party was already a quasi-cosmic level entity, he wasn't afraid.

The main reason was that he had formed a huge grudge back then. He felt that this demon in front of him was the most detestable. He hadn't been a good person since he was young.

He wouldn't forget the scene of him and Ji Caixuan being attacked by a slumbering monster after a great battle. He was heavily injured and fell to the bottom of a cliff.

That little brat appeared and hummed, "A rain wetting a season..."

At that time, Demon Chu was still a child. He muttered these words and wetted him with a pitter-patter.

Li Jiuxiao was practically vomiting blood back then. He was actually drenched in urine by a child. Because of this, he had been searching for revenge in the Great Wilderness for several years.

"It was all a misunderstanding back then. You're thinking too much."Chu Feng turned around and left. Of course, he didn't forget to pour down an endless rain of law light to drown the other party.

"Ah... Demon King Chu!"Li Jiuxiao shouted.

In the distance, Ji Caixuan, who was on top of a mountain, saw this scene and pursed her lips into a smile. She then lamented that time had passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed.

When she first met Chu Feng, he was still an unkind child. In the blink of an eye, he was about to break through to the cosmos level. This made her sigh with emotion.

Just as she was lost in thought, a ball of fire descended from the sky and covered the mountain peak where she was. The entire mountain was instantly turned into lava and evaporated.

"A diluted wisp of ancient flames?"Ji Caixuan cried out in shock. Clearly, Demon King Chu didn't have any tender feelings for the fairer sex. He treated her equally and directly burned her with the dao flames, forcing her to dig out her greatest potential.

In an instant, she was flustered. Even though the laws were like rainbows and the Dao patterns were like rain, they were unable to completely block the casual suppression of a quasi-cosmic level entity.

Almost in an instant, a lock of her hair was burned. She couldn't help but scream, "Demon King Chu!"

Chu Feng ignored her and waved his sleeve, leaving behind a cloud and a ball of fire before drifting away.

Not long after, Chu Feng appeared on a bare stone mountain. There was a young man sitting cross-legged. He was truly extraordinary. The surface of his body was covered with Dao Patterns and he was comprehending the origin of Great Dao. To be able to do this at such an age was truly rare.

Of course, Chu Feng didn't treat him as a young man. If he were to compare himself to a demon like him, the others would naturally be covered up.

It wasn't until the young man opened his eyes and finished his comprehension that Chu Feng made his move. This time, he flipped his hand and a large expanse of flames engulfed the man.

"Da Kong, someone said that you can be considered my son. What do you think?"Chu Feng asked.

Within the terrifying flames, the young man's aura was like that of a God and demon. He was currently resisting the flames of the Great Dao. After hearing these words, his mind almost went crazy and his body was scorched dry by the flames.

"Who said that? It's all your own nonsense!"Da Kong was incomparably resentful. This demon Chu had said this more than once.

"Think about it. Back then, when I came out from the end of reincarnation and first entered the Yang realm, some of the precious materials of Heaven and earth leaked out and landed on a nine-holed stone. It could be said that the heaven and earth interacted and caused the divine egg within the stone to be born ahead of time. That was how you were born."

"If you think about it carefully, I was that day. That Strange Stone was the earth. The Heaven and earth resonated and gave birth to you. Do you think you can be considered my child?"Chu Feng asked.

"Ah, ah, ah..."Da Kong was furious. He was shouting wildly here. He was desperately fighting against the flames of the great sky. He wanted nothing more than to immediately charge out and fight to the death with that demon Chu.

Even though he knew that he couldn't withstand a single finger from that demon, he couldn't suppress his anger.

..

Chu Feng traveled all over the place. Regardless of whether it was an acquaintance or an unfamiliar outstanding individual from various races, he would attack whenever he saw one. This caused the people of the middle-azure generation to sink into a deep abyss of suffering and temper themselves under the terrifying "Demonic might".

Soon after, he left alone and headed to the depths of the foreign land, the forbidden land of the past.

In the past, there was a hunchback who held a talisman in his hand and smiled sinisterly at him. It was incomparably strange and caused him to tremble in fear.

Time passed. Even the Strange Dao ancestor who had been sleeping in this forbidden land had been destroyed by Jiu Daoyi and Gu Qing. Not to mention other creatures, this place was empty.

However, there was great danger in the depths of the forbidden land.

There were ruins, dao palaces, and even some unknown substances entangled with the origin of this world.

Chu Feng went deep underground and felt the undulation of the vast ocean of time. He saw the eternal stars disintegrating, all living things withering, and all living things dying out.

That was the scene of the past. A great evolutionary civilization had been destroyed, and only a small portion of the remains remained.

This evolutionary civilization had made even the most bizarre dao ancestor apprehensive back then. They had killed and destroyed everything without caring about anything else. The past had its own brilliance.

"Time matter!"Chu Feng muttered and sighed softly.

The deepest part of the underground was no longer part of the present world. Instead, it was a space that transcended the outside world. There were threads of supreme laws flowing about, remnants of the origin of the great world, and time ancestor matter pervading the air, it was a dangerous and extremely complicated land.

Here, time was in disorder and the flow of time was abnormal.

This was the origin of the foreign land.

Chu Feng listened to the advice of Jiu Daoyi and Gu Qing. Only after he had become a quasi-cosmic level entity did he come here to collect the precious ancestral material of heaven and earth -- time.

There were secrets here and incomparably terrifying aura remnants. It wasn't as simple as that of the Strange Dao ancestor.

According to what Jiu Daoyi had said, he had seen a yellowed letter streaking through the air, carrying with it a monstrous amount of matter that fell into the distance.

Jiu Daoyi guessed that the letter he had seen at the edge of the Netherworld, in the wood city where the dilapidated Chaosverse was located, had probably passed through this place before.

Thus, the time here was chaotic. It was very likely that someone had intentionally received that person's letter and poured it down with matter.

An invincible creature among the invincible creatures. The letter he sent back wandered through the vast ocean of time and pierced through all obstacles. Not only were there people coveting its contents, but there were also former Dao ancestors who wanted to absorb some power to comprehend the invincible wondrous technique.

Chu Feng sighed. How powerful was this? How could a letter be like this?

However, after careful thought, it did make sense. He didn't know where that person was, whether he was in ancient history or in the present world. It was all unpredictable. The letter he sent back must carry an infinite amount of time substance, only then could he break through space and time!

Chu Feng had successfully absorbed enough time ancestor material and sublimated the wondrous technique on the spot. A nine-colored wheel appeared behind him with incomparably great power!

This had long since surpassed the scope of the original wondrous technique. This was a supreme secret technique that belonged exclusively to him.

In truth, the time wondrous technique alone could rank among the top three offensive techniques. Now, Chu Feng's nine-colored wheel had already included this path.

Of course, any path would depend on who walked it. Some people only controlled time, and one path would lead to the end of the path. It wasn't impossible for them to become invincible throughout the world.

Chu Feng wasn't in a hurry to leave. He was observing this special area where the ancestral material of time and the origin of the great world were entangled together. There were also... Threads of laws of the end of the path? !

Then, he was somewhat horrified. The flow of time inside was too chaotic.

In most of the regions, the flow of time was slow and almost static. It should be even more shocking than the foreign lands.

In another region, it was indeed the complete opposite. If one were to get closer, one would experience the crazy flow of time. Time was merciless, and in an instant, one would feel the vicissitudes of life.

"In this core region, the flow of time is different at different nodes. In fact, it might even be opposites. It's truly terrifying. If one isn't prepared, even a very strong evolver might have an accident if they enter!"

It was fine if the flow of time was slow, but it couldn't harm one's body.

However, another region was taking away time. If one rushed in rashly, one could very quickly turn from a young man into a middle-aged man or even an old man.

Chu Feng was horrified. He didn't probe any further and quickly retreated.

He believed that if he refined the origin of the core region, it would definitely be a terrifying time treasure.

If that thing were to hit an evolver, it would probably corrode his lifespan to the point of drying up, turning him into a skeleton and turning him into ashes.

After calculating the time, he felt that it was time to return to the world of the living. He could evolve again. After so many years of 'cooling down', his body had already recovered to a state where his potential was extremely abundant.

Cosmos-level creature!

Next, he was going to enter that domain. It was just that he did not know if he would encounter the serious problem of 'decay'that stumped everyone.

Over the past thousand years, many people had gone out, such as Zhou Xi, Old Gu, and the black yak.

Almost no one chose to advance in the foreign lands. Once they felt that their condition was good enough, they would temporarily return to the world of the living to consume strange fruits, absorb pollen, and make a breakthrough.

After stabilizing their cultivation and settling down for a period of time, those who left would return.

This was the pros and cons of the pollen path. Once one's physical condition was up to par, coupled with the rare pollen, there was a chance for one to transform and advance to the next level.

However, under normal circumstances, after each transformation, one's body would have to go through a long period of recuperation. One would need to cool down and allow one's potential to be completely restored. Otherwise, one would damage one's Dao Foundation and forcefully continue to evolve, it would put itself on a path of no return. It could be said that there were extremely strict requirements!

Therefore, the foreign land was absolutely a supreme pure land for the creatures on the pollen path in the outside world. It could even be considered a supreme holy land!

It effectively overcame the disadvantages of the pollen path and shortened the cooling time. It greatly changed the uncertain process that evolvers needed time to endure and consume.

During this period, Chu Feng hadn't seen many people even though they were in seclusion in the foreign lands.

For example, Ying Xiaoxiao, Qin Luoyin, and the others were all cultivating in Yaoyao's seclusion area. They were using her cultivation site to wipe out the erosion of the gray substance.

There was even a period of time when Li Jiuxiao wanted to run to Yaoyao's cultivation site because he was easily impulsive every time he saw Chu Feng, but he couldn't defeat him.

There was also da Kong who wanted to escape. The main reason was that he was very worried that someone would try to scam him and force him to become his "Old father.".

This was the first time Chu Feng wanted to leave the foreign land in a thousand years. The higher his level of evolution, the more astonishing the cooling down time he would need.

In fact, if he hadn't accidentally found the ten thousand tribulations reincarnation lotus on the path of reincarnation and absorbed the heavenly blood, as well as the help of the resonance of the stone zither, the time he would need would have been even longer.

At that time, the Zhou clan had warned him that he needed several thousand years of quiet cultivation and not to be impulsive enough to break through. It wasn't a joke, but a very serious matter.

Ever since Yaoyao had become a true cosmic level entity five hundred years ago, Chu Feng had used a stone jar to suppress her. He had carefully urged the stone zither to help her resonate and baptize her dao body.

He estimated that Yaoyao had several systems to verify and cultivate at the same time. In addition, her true body had cooled down from the ancient times. It could be said that her foundation was extremely profound and astonishing. If she continued to temper herself in the foreign lands, he believed that when she came out of seclusion.., she should have the hope of reaching the level of a peak true immortal.

Therefore, Chu Feng had to make good use of his time. He also had to rise swiftly and fiercely!

This time, not many people returned with Chu Feng. Those who stayed behind would inevitably go to Yaoyao's Daoist Hall.

In fact, after a thousand years of adaptation, many people could gradually resist the erosion of the gray substance. This was also another form of tempering.

Zhou Xi had been waiting for Chu Feng since early on and was about to embark on the return journey with him.

After a thousand years, a beautiful woman wouldn't age and her youth would last forever. This was because she was already a peak divine king. Unfortunately, it was too difficult for her to enter the heavenly venerate realm.

It was somewhat unrealistic to break through at this age. Even though the Young XI's talent was astonishing, she couldn't be considered one of the outliers recorded in the history books.

It was already rare for one or two monsters like Chu Feng to appear.

In the Yang realm, the mountains were towering and the spiritual energy was dense. Immortal Dao substances were steaming and it was more suitable for cultivation than before.

"Will there be great splendor before the Great Chaos? Will there be great prosperity before the great destruction?"Chu Feng whispered.

He steered the battleship and brought Zhou Xi back to the Yang realm.

He broke through the void along the way and the fragments of time surged behind the ship. The first thing he did when he returned was to go to a special small village to see if the two were still there.

"There's no need to go. Let's go back to the Heavenly Court."Jiu Daoyi transmitted his voice. He had already sensed that Chu Feng had returned.

Chu Feng's body stiffened, but then he didn't stop for even a moment. He rushed back to Xia prefecture like lightning and entered the heavenly court. He immediately went to look for Jiu Daoyi and Gu Qing.

"We used the divine abilities of the Dao ancestors to deduce it."Jiu Daoyi was very direct and told the truth.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he had discovered the flaw before he left. When Chu Feng heard it, his eyes were still filled with warmth.

Everything was fake. It was the two dao ancestors who had controlled everything for the sake of his perfect state of mind.

"It's impossible to have everything you wish for in life. There will always be some sort of regret,"gu Qing sighed.

He added, "Not being able to find them doesn't mean that those two are no longer around. Perhaps they haven't awakened the memories of their past lives. We'll meet again if fate permits."

Jiu Daoyi nodded and then told him that although what he saw wasn't real, it was based on real deduction.

As a dao ancestor who had gone to the small netherworld to capture the traces of time, he had long since understood what kind of people Chu Feng's parents were.

Through Jiu Daoyi and Gu Qing's deduction, if they found Chu Zhiyuan and Wang Jing, it was most likely the scene Chu Feng had seen in that small village.

"You have to believe in the true deduction of the Dao ancestor who stepped into the river of time. Although the two people you saw were fake, if you really found them, the two would probably say similar words. Their true feelings weren't fake,"said Jiu Daoyi.

"I believe!"Chu Feng wiped away his tears and bowed to the two seriously.

"I want to evolve!"Chu Feng turned and walked out. At this stage, he wasn't lacking in evolutionary resources. Not to mention the support of the Heavenly Court, just the wedding alone had given him six portions of Cosmos grade mutant soil.

What Chu Feng needed to consider now was which realm to choose to let the seeds in the stone jar take root and germinate.

According to the ancient records, evolvers mostly advanced in different worlds, which would be of great benefit to the future.

"It's been a thousand years, but the two of you don't have any children?"Gu Qing talked about this matter and reminded the two Chu Feng. It would be even more difficult to evolve now after becoming a cosmos-grade entity.

Chu Feng was fine, but Zhou Xi's face was already flushed red. At the same time, she felt somewhat regretful in her heart.

"It's fine. Don't feel any psychological pressure. Keep up the good work. There's still a thousand years left."Jiu Daoyi... encouraged.

This time, even Chu Feng wanted to roll his eyes, let alone Zhou XI. He wanted to escape as soon as possible. The two dao ancestors were too "Down to Earth", weren't they? Two old men!

The ninth dao one said, "I'm not joking. In that ancient era, even true immortal creatures and even the strongest experts in the immortal King Realm had given birth to future emperors."

"That's right. There's no rush. There might be a surprise in the future. Back then, this Emperor personally interfered with the inheritance of a certain heavenly emperor. Because of my help, an Emperor was born."The Dog Emperor appeared out of nowhere.

It stared at Chu Feng and Zhou Xi with great interest.

"Do you want this emperor to concoct some great body-nourishing medicine for you? It's extremely potent and I guarantee that you'll have descendants. I'll name it an Imperial Medicine!"

Zhou Xi grabbed Chu Feng's hand and hurriedly fled.

Chu Feng also felt that this dog was unreliable and didn't want to take its messy medicine.

"Don't run. I don't even care about ordinary people. I'm only interested because I see the hope of giving birth to a special bloodline."

..

Chu Feng was about to enter the great cosmos realm after making sufficient preparations.

However, he still asked the two Dao ancestors which great world was more special and suitable for him to evolve.

The two old demons already knew that he had many secrets, but they didn't ask about it.

Jiu Daoyi muttered to himself and finally pointed out a lost world.

Gu Qing's expression changed when he heard this and said, "That place is too dangerous. It's adjacent to an ominous land and is too close to the Darkness!"

But Jiu Daoyi said, "It's precisely because it's close to those sunken universes that it's suitable for him. It allowed him to comprehend part of the strange secrets during his evolution."

Chu Feng immediately identified this place after hearing this.

"It's too dangerous. It's too close to the darkness. What if some unfathomable creature comes out?"Gu Qing frowned with a solemn expression.

Jiu Daoyi said, "If life forms at the end of the road come out, it's useless even if they hide outside the world. It's not safe anywhere. There's no barrier for them to enter the greater world."

And if it wasn't for the birth of life forms at the end of the road, he could protect himself with Chu Feng's secrets. After all, he had already fought and killed a dao ancestor.

Jiu Daoyi was incomparably solemn as he said, "This old man also wants to take a look and see if there are any old friends in the fallen Dark Universe."

He also wanted to go. He wanted to go to the dark place personally.

"Then... I'll go too!"Gu Qing braced himself and prepared to make a trip.

"This emperor will go too!"The Dog Emperor also spoke. He and the decaying corpse were prepared to see if there were any old friends who had fallen into that isolated world.

Chu Feng couldn't help but ask, what kind of place was that?

"It's a little-known place. Like the foreign lands, it belongs to a lost world."

"But it's much bigger than the foreign lands you've just returned from. It's those great universes that have been corroded by strange and ominous forces. They were once brilliant and glorious, but now they're in ruins. Only darkness remains. It's extremely dangerous."

Simply put, that was the greater world that the strange races had invaded and occupied. There were many universes, but the flames of civilization had all been extinguished.

"There are dark creatures there. They have truly turned completely black and can no longer be turned back. For example, the immortal race recorded in the ancient books refers to the dark immortals there. The Fallen Immortal King race can be considered very pure compared to them."

Chu Feng was somewhat dazed after hearing this.

The Immortal Race and the Dark Immortal race seemed to be extremely terrifying. They had completely fallen to the side of the ominous races and could no longer turn back.

"The lost world has almost cut off all communication with the current greater world because if there was an easy passage, there would be battles."

"That area can also be considered a front-line battleground. It's intentionally isolated by the heavens."

..

Chu feng roughly understood what kind of boundary it was.

In fact, when he had just arrived in the yang-realm, he had heard some rumors. The ancestors of the Yang-realm had started a war with the immortal race and the front-line battleground had already been isolated.

So that was the case. He now completely understood the hidden circumstances.

Chu Feng set off. This time, he didn't bring Zhou Xi with him because he was afraid of danger.

The heavens were even wider than they were now, and the great worlds were numerous. However, over the long years, many of them had been corroded by misfortune and fell into the darkness.

The nine paths led the way. They followed an intermittent void passage and found the ancient road leading to the old dark land. They quickly approached.
