Chapter 1094: The World’s Turmoil Emerges from Our Generation

Upon entering the underground area of the First Mountain Under Heaven, Chu Feng immediately saw a very thick light screen, hazy and misty, resembling a chaotic region.

He did not immediately force his way in. Instead, he walked around the light screen, staying close to it. This underground area seemed to be covered by an eerie radiance, accumulated through history, and had been silent since ancient times.

Many areas outside the hazy light mass were visibly stained with blood, some even containing bone fragments laced with blood. These were all remnants left by creatures that had attempted and failed to force their way through.

"Old Nine, what do you suggest?" Chu Feng asked, weighing the brick-sized stone coffin in his hand.

"My suggestion is, could you please stay further away from the light screen? Don't accidentally shove me in," the Nine Netherworld Being said, ready to enlarge its coffin body at any time, strictly guarding against such a violent act from him.

Indeed, it truly didn't trust this little scoundrel, estimating that such a thing was very likely to occur.

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Chu Feng retorted, yet his actions were quite honest; he gestured as if to shove the brick into the opening.

The stone coffin rapidly enlarged and fell to the ground. Inside, the Nine Netherworld Being's exasperated cries echoed, "What are you doing? You really are that kind of person!"

Chu Feng explained righteously, "Didn't I just follow your random suggestion? I hadn't even thought of it myself."

The Nine Netherworld Being immediately fell silent, unwilling to say another word even if it meant death. What if it mentioned another idea and this little scoundrel actually acted on it?

The underground area was very vast, with the hazy light and mist seemingly covering an enormous, boundless grave mound, occupying an immense expanse.

Chu Feng was not in a hurry to force his way in. He used his powerful spiritual perception to search for a weak spot, knowing that historically, some individuals had successfully penetrated the area.

He sought a viable path, but after wandering for a long time, he found nothing particularly useful.

"Old Nine, what do you think about all these young talents from the Chu clan appearing outside?" Chu Feng suddenly asked.

"What Chu clan?"

"You know, those who claim 'my uncle is Chu Feng' or 'my brother is Chu Feng'. Don't you find this clan a bit mysterious? With such a group emerging, they are bound to sweep across the world in the future."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Netherworld Being immediately said, "I only feel that this grandson named Chu Feng is truly despicable, actually engraving words on the soul-light of so many people."

Chu Feng immediately disliked what he heard and kicked the coffin twice.

"I said that grandson surnamed Chu is too wicked, why are you kicking me?" the Nine Netherworld Being complained. At the same time, it was somewhat surprised and curious, asking, "Who exactly is this person named Chu? He seems to have a significant background. What does he want to do?"

"Stupid, can't you even guess this?" Chu Feng said disdainfully, looking arrogant.

The Nine Netherworld Being angrily retorted, "How am I stupid? This kind of thing most likely involves the most complex and terrifying struggle on the path of reincarnation. Who can possibly see through the machinations at this level? Can you guess the specific details?!"

"What's the big deal? It's too simple," Chu Feng pouted. With his small hands clasped behind his back and chin held high, he lectured the Nine Netherworld Being with an old-fashioned air, "When you go to famous scenic spots, the renowned mountains and rivers of the world—like this place right here, for instance—haven't you ever left a message? Like 'So-and-so was here'?"

The Nine Netherworld Being stared blankly, pondering for a moment before finally reacting. "Only a ghost would do something so immoral! I, this old man, would never be so unethical!"

At the same time, it retorted, "Is this grandson surnamed Chu really that bored, engraving words on people's soul-light just to show off... the style and morality of 'having been here'?"

"Don't try to guess what great figures are thinking!" Chu Feng said with a darkened face.

He recalled his original intention for doing this back then: the first time he stepped onto the path of reincarnation, it was indeed out of sheer boredom.

At that time, as he walked that path, some soul bodies, being exceptionally powerful and restless, crashed around recklessly, and a considerable number of them offended him.

Chu Feng initially began carving words on them simply because he found these troublesome individuals unpleasant. It was only later, when he felt this group of beings was overly arrogant and powerful, that he developed other intentions and persisted with the engraving.

If this matter, and its true original intention, were known to outsiders, it would surely lead to considerable... speechlessness and widespread dumbfoundedness!

At this very moment, discussions were taking place all over the Yang Realm, with countless people hotly debating why a group of geniuses had words engraved on their soul-light.

Taiyi Journal, with the largest circulation, notably published several in-depth studies and reports, both offline and online, which triggered heated discussions among evolvers of all races.

This influence was very far-reaching!

A seed was planted in the hearts of many of the individuals involved, those children with words engraved on their soul-light, and they all swore to uncover the truth in the future.

In fact, decades later, some of these children truly rose to prominence. In related fields or in certain major regions, they became leading figures and grew into chosen ones, genuinely embarking on the path to seek the truth.

For example, one world-shaking figure, after gaining renown, wrote in his memoirs: "When I was born, my soul-light bore heavenly script. Was it the work of an ultimate being, or a tangible manifestation of the Grand Dao?"

Another gifted individual, upon reaching adulthood, also penned a statement: "Is this the best arrangement from Heaven, or the ultimate choice on the path of reincarnation? The path is long and arduous; I will search high and low!"

However, when they finally uncovered the truth one day, it was simply...

In the underground area of the First Mountain Under Heaven, Chu Feng, with his small hands clasped behind his back, lectured like a master, "Old Nine, while it's true you shouldn't try to guess what great figures are thinking, some things are universal. Come, learn from me. Leave a message here, and you'll understand the mindset of a great figure."

At this point, he swiftly and powerfully inscribed a line of domineering characters onto the rock outside the light screen: "Ji Dade was here!" His writing was vigorous and sharp, like a dragon's dance and an iron hook.

Even inside the stone coffin, the Nine Netherworld Being could sense all this. Instantly, it was utterly flabbergasted and speechless!

After a long while, it finally spoke, "What a disgrace! I, this old man, am ashamed to be associated with you! You are a shame to our kind for doing such a thing!"

"You don't understand a thing! Just write something down first, and then you'll understand the mindset of a great figure. Try it if you don't believe me!" Chu Feng said righteously, not giving up on his instigation.

The Nine Netherworld Being immediately refused, saying, "Even if you kill me, I would never do such an unethical and damaging thing!"

"See? That's the difference between you and a great figure!" Chu Feng said, looking down at it proudly.

The Nine Netherworld Being: "I—!@#..."

Afterward, it earnestly and patiently advised Chu Feng, "Please don't be so disgraceful. How are we, brothers, supposed to make our way in the world later?"

"Is it that serious?" Chu Feng asked, feeling a bit guilty.

"This kind of thing... is utterly disgraceful!" the Nine Netherworld Being declared. It felt it was a disgrace to the cultivator world and a scoundrel of the evolution world, lecturing Chu Feng on how he could carelessly write such words on the First Mountain Under Heaven. If it really spread, he would be a laughingstock for life, scorned by evolvers of all races.

"Fine, if there are mistakes, correct them; if not, strive for better!" Chu Feng stepped forward. With a scraping sound, he changed the inscription on the rock to: "Taiwu was here!"

The Nine Netherworld Being: "..."

"Alright, let's just drop this matter!" Chu Feng waved his small hand, looking grand, and decided not to talk about it anymore.

Then, he asked the Nine Netherworld Being: "Old Nine, be honest with me, is there truly supreme good fortune inside the First Mountain Under Heaven?"

"Of course!" The Nine Netherworld Being slapped the coffin lid, making loud noises. "Think about it, even my elder brother, who shook ancient and modern times, all his learning originated from this First Mountain Under Heaven. His master crawled out from inside, and others have also gone in and picked fruits that strengthen the body."

"Alright then, let's enter the mountain! In this lifetime, I, your elder brother, will lead you in!" Chu Feng declared with soaring ambition.

Then, he asked the Nine Netherworld Being to shrink the coffin until it was palm-sized.

"What are you doing?" the Nine Netherworld Being asked suspiciously.

Chu Feng grabbed a handful of reincarnation soil and directly wrapped it around the coffin, completely sealing it inside.

"Ah, you little scoundrel! You want to trick me? You want to use me for an experiment?!" the Nine Netherworld Being yelled, struggling continuously, but all its methods failed.

This reincarnation soil naturally restrained and suppressed it; the coffin lid could not be restored, and it could no longer sense anything from the outside world.

"Don't worry, I'm protecting you!" Chu Feng knocked on the coffin lid and told it loudly.

At this point, Chu Feng took out his stone jar, grabbed the small coffin, jumped inside, then sealed the jar's opening, preparing to force his way through the light screen.

Go in with just his physical body? That would definitely be suicide!

Chu Feng conducted an experiment, discovering that any substance other than the stone jar would disintegrate into dust upon touching the light screen.

Thus, he forced his way through, pushing the stone jar into the interior of the light screen.

Inside the jar, he initially felt a resistance from the outside, as if he were moving through a vast swamp several miles wide.

Soon after, the stone jar suddenly felt lighter, as if it had broken free from some kind of restraint and become nimble.

Chu Feng carefully and cautiously opened a tiny slit. Immediately, he felt an incredibly rich essence of heaven and earth rush in, making him feel as if he was about to ascend as an immortal—it was utterly delightful.

"Success! I've entered the longevity space inside the First Mountain Under Heaven!" Chu Feng exclaimed happily. He opened the stone jar and jumped out.

He pretended to smear a lot of reincarnation soil on himself, then put away the stone jar. Next, he began to scrape off some of the reincarnation soil from the small coffin.

"It really... succeeded! How much reincarnation soil do you actually have on you?" The Nine Netherworld Being's eyes widened. At the same time, it yelled, "No, don't put it away yet! Leave me some reincarnation soil! I'm afraid there might be more dangers ahead. This old man truly doesn't want to die; I haven't lived enough yet! I haven't even seen the reincarnated greatest beauty from Menggu Path; I still want to rekindle our past connection!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's face immediately darkened. "You old pervert! Don't even talk about it again, don't even think about it!"

He looked around; the interior of this First Mountain was still barren, an uneven pitted area. However, the essence of heaven and earth was incredibly dense.

Moreover, this was not ordinary heaven and earth spiritual energy; it was all high-grade material.

For example, the wisps of purple qi were identical in composition to the first ray of purple qi from the east that great cultivators collected each morning.

Outside, only the moment of dawn each day was the best time to collect this substance, but here, it was abundant, surging at all times.

In addition, the wisps of red light, the wisps of golden mist... were all rare, high-level energy substances.

Chu Feng knew he had come to the right place!

He strode forward, saying: "Let's go, Old Nine. Let's see what secrets this ultimate place, revered as the First Mountain Under Heaven since ancient times, truly holds."

At the same time, Chu Feng's heart swelled with heroic spirit. He walked while reciting: "From our generation, the world's winds and clouds arise; once in the jianghu, time swiftly flies. Imperial might and grand schemes are but laughter's guise; nothing compares to life's intoxicating prize!"

However, he hadn't walked much further when his voice abruptly ceased, and his body froze.

In the mountainous area ahead, on a bare large rock, sat a mummified corpse, which slowly turned and looked back.

Moreover, blood trailed from its mouth, flowing down in a ghastly crimson, a truly horrifying sight. It was eating something. Looking closely, it was holding a leg in its hand and had just been gnawing on it.

At this moment, the Nine Netherworld Being in the stone coffin shrieked, so frightened it almost jumped out and hit the coffin with a loud bang. Then it went silent, almost fainting.

Because it sensed the creature's form, and it looked... too familiar!

That was... his elder brother's master?!

However, back then, this mummified corpse had said that in this life, he would eat only vegetables, never meat. But if he ever ate meat, that would signify... the time when heaven and earth collapse and change!
