That one piece of medicine that could be exchanged for a habitable planet was enough to prove its worth. In the eyes of some ancient almighty beings, they could search the universe for habitable planets, but this type of divine medicine was as rare as dragon or phoenix eggs. It was extremely hard to come by, and its value was beyond measure.

Chu Feng investigated carefully throughout the whole journey. During this process, several beams of light rose up from the road along with silver runes and strange black energy. It nearly covered him and almost caused him to meet his tragic end en route.

This dimensional space belonged to the true Village of Ten Thousand Deities and thus was more mysterious than the outside dimensional spaces. However, it was more frightening, and the journey was more dangerous. It was covered in domains and energy traps, and if one were even the least bit careless, they would be condemned to eternal damnation.

The ground up ahead glowed and possessed the aura of the universe’s origin. A red fog filled the air of the mountain ranges and forests, and a silver light also blossomed. An antiquated aura from the immortal path flowed through the area.

“The Godslayer!”

Chu Feng stopped in the middle of the road and looked at the landscape up ahead. All of a sudden, a chill ran from his head to toe, and he felt the terror of this area. It looked auspicious and peaceful—propitious vapors were steaming, and red light lingered, but truly understanding and comprehending it was too dangerous. It wasn’t just any evolver who could set foot in this place.

Up ahead were thirty-six mountain peaks that were different from the other mountains. Among them, short mountain ridges linked together, and they were a strange, gloomy red.

Upon careful inspection, it looked just like thirty-six skulls linked together by a chain. This was a natural and dangerous terrain known as the Godslayer!

Through the domain’s almighty enlightenment and arrangement, this type of terrain could evolve into a fatal space. Its ferociousness was impressive and had previously intimidated the ancient evolvers.

When he was on the moon, Chu Feng saw the records in the domain manual. This type of domain was quite terrible. The thirty-six peaks were like thirty-six deity skulls swallowing all life.

Of course, normally, they weren’t like this. They would appear as auspicious and peaceful as possible, putting out a god-like aura and nourishing medicinal herbs with their rich energy.

Chu Feng thought it would be hopeless if were he to collide with this type of Godslayer terrain. He couldn’t cross them. According to reports, this was a fearful land that could slaughter saints.

At the present stage, although he was a domain master, he still couldn’t break through this type of terrain. Chu Feng needed to become stronger within the field before he could do that.

“There’s a great medicine not far in front of me, but all I can do is look at it. I can’t enter that auspicious land.”

Chu Feng felt a bit dejected, and he was considerably unwilling to resign himself to this. He wanted to pick that single fresh haw fruit that he had seen not long before on the unique, precious tree.

Even with the green bamboo raft, it still wouldn’t work. There were countless supreme domain symbols woven into the void. If he were to rush in recklessly, he would undoubtedly die.

“How can I cross over?”

Chu Feng encircled the area. All of a sudden, his heart trembled; he raised his head and looked at a bald, barren mountain in the distance. It was huge and particularly majestic.

“Could this be the Fallen Phoenix Hill of legend!?” His heart trembled as he stared at the bare, lifeless area. He seemed to hear the faint, anguished wail of a phoenix in the wind.

He was somewhat skeptical. This might truly be the Fallen Phoenix Hill, which was known for swallowing all life. Even phoenixes that could reach nirvana and be reborn would struggle to emerge from that place with their lives. It was obviously quite dangerous.

This was a natural danger spot. It contained naturally-produced runes and was a naturally-generated domain of death.

“Is this the natural Fallen Phoenix Hill or a man-made imitation made later on?” Chu Feng looked on with a grave expression. Regardless of which type it was, it could still slaughter saints, and it was certainly not a place he wanted to set foot on.

He sighed. It seemed the so-called Village of Ten Thousand Deities was truly not easily approached, for at the center were unexpectedly exceptional and terrible places like the Godslayer and the Fallen Phoenix Hill.

He felt a bit discouraged. It wasn’t that he lacked confidence, but rather he knew it couldn’t be done. The layers of domains here as well as the terrain exceeded his expectations and were excessively terrifying.

This place was a naturally dangerous area, and any who approached would die. Only a powerful domain master would be able to break in.

Boom!

The sound of a sudden and violent explosion came from the distance.

Chu Feng was surprised. Someone had come here? He was a domain master, and even he had to use certain methods to enter this dimensional space. How could there be others?

He sat on the green bamboo raft and quietly slinked away to the other side of the Fallen Phoenix Hill.

Sure enough, he saw a group of people on the other side. They were all old men in a strange place, protecting a few people.

“Hm, they’re from the Deity and Netherworld races!”

Chu Feng recognized those fellows from the two races. They had hurried here afterward, obviously in an attempt to kill him. Now, they had sneakily rushed in.

The races had made a pact. The younger generation would have to struggle for the recovering land of Earth’s good fortune. The older generation needed to restrain themselves and could not attack, otherwise, each race might launch an all-out attack to steal Earth’s opportunities, and the situation would likely escalate.

But now, this group of old men wasn’t abiding by the rules. Clearly, they had come to deal with Chu Feng, but actually, they also had another secret task. They were conspiring to snatch away the good fortune from Earth’s most important land, violating the races’ pact!

“These two races are shameless!”

Chu Feng despised them. The Deity race and Netherworld race’s old men personally took part. Among them were surprisingly a few domain masters, who were researching the domain under their protection.

The previous explosion had been caused by them breaking the domain.

One domain researcher among them died a horrible death, and even the two men protecting him were destroyed in both body and soul.

Chu Feng didn’t believe that they could enter the depths of the Pure Land by relying on them. No matter how many domain masters there were, they couldn’t resolve such a large and difficult problem.

But he was soon shocked when the group assembled a world-shocking treasure. Light beams flowed out of divine magnets, and there was a rich energy aura as all kinds of symbols wove together.

The several domain masters were incomparably solemn. They were assembling an object. It was a ladder made of divine gems and magnets that glowed with different colors.

The Heavenly Ladder!

Chu Feng’s astonishment turned to worry. This was a work that far exceeded the domain masters’ skill. It was an ancient object, and now it had been assembled.

The so-called Heavenly Ladder was the domain researchers’ masterpiece. It could cross domains. Evolvers could use the Heavenly Ladder to cross over domains and dangerous places just like ordinary people climbing a ladder onto a roof.

Of course, the Ladders to Heaven came in different grades. An average domain researcher’s work naturally wouldn’t have the best effect, but with a master or grandmaster’s skill, they were increasingly shocking.

“Could this ladder be the work of a grandmaster?”

Chu Feng was skeptical. If it weren’t, then why would these people dare to try?

At the same time, he keenly discovered that the Heavenly Ladder had an earthy, rotten smell, as though it had been taken out from the soil not long ago.

Could it be that they had dug it up from someplace on Earth? Chu Feng frowned because, at the present stage, this level of object couldn’t enter from the outer realm.

Sure enough, someone spoke and helped him understand what was going on.

“Yeah, back then, the Deity race left this Heavenly Ladder on Earth. At that time, they retreated too suddenly, so some things couldn’t be taken back. Now, we can put it to good use, eh!?”

One of the Deity race’s elders was explaining the situation to a Netherworld expert.

Chu Feng’s heart jumped. He had truly guessed it correctly. This was indeed a divine object that had been dug up.

He knew the situation was a bit unlucky. His troubles had grown!

“The Deity race is really bold to be willing to leave behind this type of treasure and use it now.” One of the Netherworld race elders praised them.

One of the Deity race elders nodded and said, “Yes, this is a rare treasure. It’s a shame it’s a bit damaged. I hope today we can still assemble it. It will be quite helpful in entering the depths of this secret land.”

The several domain masters were studying and assembling it. The ladder was no more than a meter long. It had a lovely crystal-like sparkle and had a hard-to-conceal smell of decay.

This was because it was dug out from a gravel pit in Kunlun. Back then, it had been buried alongside the bodies of more than ten thousand Earthling forebears.

Finally, they finished assembling it. They were itching to try and use it.

The ladder glowed, and the domain symbols wove together to form a dazzling blue path that spread out before them. Finally, it spread across the dimensional space’s depths.

The Heavenly Ladder’s symbols formed a blue ladder of runes that crossed the Fallen Phoenix Hill and successfully reached the depths.

“Success!” The group cheered. The domain masters’ faces were flushed. They were incredibly excited after witnessing this rare treasure show its power and cross the exceptional, dangerous land.

Whooooooosh…

The group moved quickly. After one person safely followed the ladder across, the others quickly followed. They crossed Fallen Phoenix Hill and entered the depths of the Pure Land.

Chu Feng’s eyes went red. Once the group disappeared he would follow them across.

This was a good fortune on Earth left by the forebears. He wouldn’t be resigned to let this group of outsiders take it.

This was especially true of the Deity and Netherworld races, who were the chief offenders in the previous destruction of Earth’s ancient evolvers. If they were to set foot on this planet once again and successfully steal its treasures, that would truly be the greatest shame.

Chu Feng tested it out. He couldn’t rely on the green bamboo raft to cross the Heavenly Ladder. He had to personally climb it and had no choice but to reveal his true self. He put away the magic raft and walked forward.

Finally, he had successfully approached and crossed Fallen Phoenix Hill. He felt it was inconceivable.

One must bear in mind that this was known as a place of death that even true phoenixes had difficulty crossing!

The bare hill was already behind him. The atmosphere was lifeless and barren.

“This Fallen Phoenix Hill might be an imitation placed here by someone and not a peerless, terrifying domain created by nature,” said Chu Feng to himself.

Then he rushed inward, fearing those people would take his opportunity.

Whoosh!

He arrived in the depths of the Pure Land in a flash. That shrub appeared again as if it could move of its own volition and suddenly made itself visible. Its leaves were quite strange. There were green, lush new leaves, pale white old leaves, and gold, dried branches. It was obvious with a single glance that this was an incredibly rare tree.

The soil at its roots glowed and propitious vapors rose in wisps. It was very mystical. It had a single sparkling, resplendent red fruit and emitted a strong fragrance that he could already smell.

A divine beam of light came from the deepest part of Chu Feng’s eyes. He saw very clearly that the small tree’s roots also had a strange object. It was a gold box that was half buried in the soil.

This made his heart beat fast. Relying on his intuition, he surmised that it might be scriptures passed on from previous generations.

Sure enough, a certain object on his person reacted by emitting a slight heat and resonating with it.

The silver box he had previously obtained at Mount Qinling, which had some sort of connection to the golden box, heated upm and the lines on its surface were glowing.

At that time, this silver box contained the Robbery Induction breathing technique!

Chu Feng was excited. There was no doubt that the gold box would contain an inheritance!

Off in the distance, the Deity and Netherworld race’s men were lingering and dazed. They wanted to approach the small tree and the gold box half-buried at its roots, but they didn’t dare. They all felt anxious.

Chu Feng had already hopped on the green bamboo raft and disappeared. He paid close attention to them and was ready to attack at a moment’s notice. No matter what, he wouldn’t miss out on that great medicine, nor would he let that gold box go so easily!
