Chapter 1074: Related to Ultimate Evolution

Inside the golden rift, an ancient stone table and a scripture formed from light golden energy lay in silence.

Chu Feng remained silent for a long time. Even the Nine Netherworld Deity, uncharacteristically, kept quiet. Both were lost in a voiceless silence.

What they had just witnessed was too astonishing. The Martial Lunatic annihilating this place was shocking, and the Patriarch of Menggu Dao, returning from the cycle of reincarnation, was both tragic and desolate.

The confrontation between ultimate evolutionaries was chilling!

In the final moments, to whom were the Patriarch of Menggu Dao's words addressed before he succumbed?

"Ah, yes, those words weren't just for the most astonishing beauty of the prehistoric era; they were also for me. He placed incredibly heavy hopes on me," the Nine Netherworld Deity declared with great solemnity.

Chu Feng, who had been immersed in the somber memory of Menggu Dao's destruction, had his mood instantly lifted by these words. He felt an urge to kick the Deity away.

"You've got some nerve!"

The Nine Netherworld Deity "shook its coffin" and said, "You don't understand!"

It grew even more serious, stating, "Even with the complete laws of the Yang Realm suppressing everything, a terrifying evolutionary like the Patriarch of Menggu Dao, when plunged into despair and nearing the end of his life, can become clairvoyant, glimpsing a corner of the future. He might have foreseen my arrival today. This is truly... a historic moment!"

Seeing it spout such nonsense with a straight face, acting as if it were the chosen one, Chu Feng could no longer hold back. He kicked the stone coffin and retorted, "Why don't you say he saw me in the blurred river of time?"

"Go on, scram! What do you, a mere child, know?"

"Bang, bang, bang..." Chu Feng pounded the stone coffin, utterly fed up with it. It was just a corpse that had barely managed to revive in this era; what was it so proud of? It was far too pleased with itself!

"Ouch! You're killing me! Go easy on me! The stone coffin is me, and I am the stone coffin! Ah... I've fallen into the Underworld!" cried the Nine Netherworld Deity.

Half the coffin sank into the blood-soaked soil. It struggled violently, clearly terrified.

"Retrieve that scripture for me," Chu Feng urged, pushing it towards the golden rift space suspended in mid-air.

The stone coffin broke free from the bleeding dead ground. The Nine Netherworld Deity secretly swallowed and said, "I don't think we'll be able to get our hands on this scripture. It's probably meant for the former most beautiful woman in the Yang Realm."

In truth, it genuinely wanted to enter but was too afraid of death to act rashly.

Chu Feng also strongly suspected this was left for Qin Luoyin's previous incarnation. Rushing in might lead to unforeseen dangers.

"Sacrifice soul flesh. The amount will determine the number of scripture pages granted." At that moment, a mechanical voice, rigid and indifferent, provided the necessary instruction.

Chu Feng believed this object was similar to the energy inheritance towers on Earth.

The Nine Netherworld Deity immediately cried out, "Gu Chenzhou, big brother, lend me some soul flesh!"

This shameless creature still thought highly of itself, believing it was the chosen one. Of course, it might also have been acting deliberately, taking advantage of Chu Feng's youth.

Faced with this old rascal, Chu Feng once again kicked it back into the Nine Netherworld dead ground, ignoring its furious howls and struggles.

He grabbed a handful of special soil and, without hesitation, scattered it into the golden rift space as an offering.

"You may select one page of the scripture!" the mechanical voice reminded him indifferently.

"Only one page?!" Chu Feng was startled. Although he still had some Reincarnation Soil in the stone jar, it wasn't much. This special soil was so coveted that even the Nine Netherworld Deity's "big brother" longed to possess it.

If a single page required a handful of Reincarnation Soil, he wasn't sure if the exchange was worth it.

"Choose the first page!" There was nothing else to say. Since the first transaction had already been paid for, he naturally wouldn't waste it, and he couldn't skip pages when selecting the scripture.

A page of the scripture flew up, whooshing towards him, and hovered before Chu Feng's brow. In an instant, countless characters imprinted themselves into his spiritual consciousness.

Then, the golden scripture page shot away, landing back on the stone table, rejoining the book.

Could it be the secret to ultimate evolution? Or was it merely the inheritance of Menggu Dao?

Chu Feng closed his eyes, carefully reading the scripture page in his mind.

It was a breathing technique, familiar yet profound, with many similarities to the inheritance of the Great Dream Pure Land, but not entirely identical!

This surprised Chu Feng. In his view, it should have been either the secret of ultimate evolution or the Great Dream Breathing Technique, yet it was unexpected.

When he was in the Lesser Yang Realm, he had obtained the Great Dream Breathing Technique, which allowed him to cultivate to the Reflection or God-level stages, but it lacked the subsequent, more profound sections.

Logically, even when compared to the scriptures of the Yang Realm, the initial parts shouldn't have differed much, but that wasn't the case now.

"Could it be that this is the Menggu Dao's truly ancient and brilliant inheritance, a supreme breathing technique that was damaged when it reached the Lesser Yang Realm, resulting in deviations from the original scripture?"

Chu Feng was suspicious, and at the same time, he speculated if there was another secret contained within, such as ultimate evolution.

Regardless, he committed it to memory, thinking it best to study it carefully after leaving this place.

After a moment's thought, he continued his offering, grabbing another handful of Reincarnation Soil. He scattered it into the golden rift space, and the glittering particles, clearly extraordinary, were swiftly absorbed.

"Where's the second page of the scripture? Why hasn't it been sent over?" Chu Feng asked after waiting for a long time.

"The second page requires two handfuls of Reincarnation Soil," the mechanical voice prompted.

"What a rip-off!" Chu Feng felt like spitting blood. Was the price doubling each time?

Since he had already started the offering, he didn't want to waste his previous sacrifice. He scattered another handful of Reincarnation Soil, which transformed into intense divine light and merged into the small space.

The second page of the scripture flew over, aligning with his brow, and many runic imprints entered his mind, which he committed to memory.

It was still the same unusual breathing technique, but this was the subsequent section!

"How much soul flesh is needed for the third page?" Chu Feng asked.

"Four times the amount."

Chu Feng immediately felt restless. This was simply too exploitative. Although the scripture was thin and had few pages, the price was doubling each time. If he wanted to read the entire text, he estimated he wouldn't have any Reincarnation Soil left, and it might not even be enough.

"It pains me to see this! Don't exchange it anymore, it's too great a loss! Lad, do you know what that is? Soul flesh! Billions in gold wouldn't buy it! Even my big brother longs for it but cannot obtain it. I dare say Menggu Dao never possessed it before!" The Nine Netherworld Deity, having driven its stone coffin out of the Underworld, cried out, looking utterly heartbroken.

It solemnly emphasized that soul flesh was an invaluable treasure!

"Who is my big brother? He's capable of suppressing the Martial Lunatic! He governs the endless territories of the Yang Realm. What kind of rare treasure hasn't he seen? Yet he still desires soul flesh!"

"It's just a breathing technique, after all. Although Menggu Dao is powerful, it's only one of several ultimate breathing techniques, not definitively the strongest in the world!"

"Absolutely no more exchanges! My heart aches! In the future, all of that will be mine!"

At the very end, it accidentally let slip its true intentions.

Chu Feng was quite annoyed. This old rascal had always harbored ill intentions, ready for a grand counterattack, hoping to one day suppress him into submission!

Then, decisively, he kicked it again, sending it back into the Nine Netherworld dead ground for self-reflection.

Of course, while he sympathized with Menggu Dao, Chu Feng didn't want to be a fool. Reincarnation Soil was a priceless divine material, and he didn't want to squander it any further.

"So, if that astonishing successor from the prehistoric era returns one day, will you also demand soul flesh from her?"

"Naturally not!" the mechanical voice replied.

"Then why do you demand it from me?"

"This was originally prepared for her. It is only because of your great contribution to Menggu Dao today, enabling our Heavenly Maiden to fully complete her reincarnation, that you are being given this opportunity."

Upon hearing this cold and rigid explanation, Chu Feng found himself at a loss for words.

However, he absolutely refused to waste any more Reincarnation Soil. Every bit used was one less he had, and who knew when he might desperately need it in the future.

This item likely had no substitute!

"The most beautiful woman who astonished the Yang Realm is the mother of my child! If I give you more Reincarnation Soil, I'd be a fool. I'll go find her, and we'll enter the golden rift together in the future!"

"Young man, mind your words!" the mechanical voice warned.

Chu Feng pursed his lips, no longer wanting to engage with it, furious that it had extorted so much Reincarnation Soil from him.

He pondered whether the most beautiful woman in the Yang Realm would recognize him. Even if he found her one day, he surmised... there would be many variables.

Having astonished the prehistoric era and now awakening, such a person would possess unimaginable pride, naturally looking down upon the world.

Furthermore, her talent was extraordinary, intimidating even the Martial Lunatic and others who feared she would surpass them. Now that she was truly returning, it was hard to say what her thoughts might be.

Back then, when the Nine Netherworld Deity shamelessly tried to seize her, it was mercilessly hunted down, suffering terribly!

Chu Feng wondered if she would clash with him.

He estimated that their next encounter could lead to various possibilities, truly difficult to predict at present.

"Such variables."

In any case, Chu Feng refused to be extorted for more Reincarnation Soil here, so he declined further transactions.

"Are you truly not continuing? Considering your great contribution to Menggu Dao today, enabling our Heavenly Maiden to fully complete her reincarnation, we shall grant you some preferential treatment." The mechanical voice then informed Chu Feng that the next, and final, special scripture page would only require one handful of Reincarnation Soil.

It then added, "It is related to ultimate evolution!"

Chu Feng was immediately excited. He felt genuinely grateful, never expecting the energy inheritance device here to be so generous, anticipating his needs and considering his situation.

"Here!" Chu Feng raised his hand and scattered another handful of Reincarnation Soil, awaiting the scripture page.

This time, the reaction was immense, as if a blood-stained golden firmament had descended. It was magnificent and vast, with golden light enveloped by crimson mist, surging blood energy, and world-shaking killing intent.

Chu Feng was significantly impacted, experiencing sharp pain in his spiritual consciousness. Then, he saw many characters, which imprinted themselves deep into his mind.

In an instant, as Chu Feng closed his eyes to comprehend, numerous fist-sized figures appeared around him. They were all miniature versions of himself, some meditating, some punching, some exhaling primordial qi, and others absorbing the light of the sun and moon.

Outside his body, dozens, even hundreds, of three-inch-tall figures, in various postures, were entirely golden but each enveloped in a blood-red mist, appearing exceptionally unique and mysterious.

"From now on, I will seclude myself in cultivation. See you in the human world thirteen years later!" Chu Feng uttered in a low voice.

At this moment, the Nine Netherworld Deity cried out, "Wait a minute, Ji Dade, you've been conned, haven't you?! What kind of broken scripture did that rascal sell you? It looks a little familiar to me!"
