Chapter 1120: Tremendous Background

Chu Feng also approached, standing outside the crowd. He carefully observed and indeed felt the power of time, squinting his eyes as if he were amidst a chaotic temporal flow.

This furnace was extremely valuable, truly priceless. Not to mention others, even Chu Feng wanted to simply knock someone out and steal it.

Without even thinking, he knew that through normal bidding or contention, he stood no chance; he would likely not obtain this treasure. This item was precious enough to make even Heavenly Venerates and supreme powerful beings envious.

He couldn't quite understand who that middle-aged woman truly was, and why she would place such a creation artifact on a mat and sell it at a stall.

Normally speaking, any evolver would be reluctant to part with it. Who would sell it? They would certainly keep it for themselves!

This item was too rare. It was Time Primordial Gold, and the fragments of the Great Dao it contained were too terrifying. A second one couldn't be found across countless eras!

From within the Heavenly Gold Stone Coffin, which was inside Chu Feng's sleeve, Gu Chenhai was utterly stunned, secretly swallowing his saliva and wondering, "Is that woman a fool? To actually sell it openly."

At this moment, the treasure furnace, ancient in appearance yet wreathed in a halo, was being held by Ying Zhexian. Her bright eyes were clear, and a faint white mist covered her peerless face, as if veiled.

She observed it carefully for a long time. Her beautiful eyes were no longer calm; divine radiance flickered within them. Even someone as composed as her showed a hint of excitement. This was a true Time Furnace.

It could be anticipated that even if the old patriarch of the Sub-Immortal Race learned of it, he would be shocked and would surely spare no effort to acquire this furnace.

"May I ask what Senior desires?"

Ying Zhexian hadn't spoken yet, but an old servant behind her could no longer hold back and asked directly.

It was evident that Ying Zhexian cared deeply as well. Her fingers, as lustrous as white mutton-fat jade, delicate, slender, and very beautiful, gripped the Time Furnace tightly.

"You are from the Sub-Immortal Race. I hear you possess the Seven Treasures Mystic Art. You can exchange it for this art," the middle-aged woman said, her tone remarkably blunt.

Everyone gasped, then sighed in sudden realization. Such a Time Furnace was undeniably priceless, considered a treasure of the Yang Realm. People had originally thought she was foolish to sell it.

Now it seemed the middle-aged woman clearly knew its value, and thus boldly demanded one of the Yang Realm's few ultimate mystic arts in exchange.

"This..." The old servant was speechless.

Ying Zhexian spoke, her voice melodious and pleasant, saying, "May I ask, Senior, if there are other items you would consider in exchange?"

"As for other things, I'm afraid you would be even more reluctant to part with them. So let's use the Sub-Immortal Race's guardian breathing technique," the middle-aged woman said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned strange. This deal was clearly impossible to negotiate.

At this moment, a young man appeared, clad in white, exceptionally refined, with hair less than an inch long. He was ethereal and transcendent, truly elegant and pure, with a distinguished bearing like jade.

He wore a special kasaya, snow-white and smooth, interwoven with golden threads, not the usual red kasaya.

"Senior, I am also very interested. Is there any room for negotiation?"

Without a doubt, he was from the Buddhist Race.

"The Great Thunderclap Breathing Technique can be exchanged for this furnace," the middle-aged woman said calmly. She was dressed simply in grey, yet no one dared to probe her true depth.

One could infer that someone openly selling a Time Furnace like this was certainly no ordinary person!

The crowd fell silent. This woman even dared to demand the Great Thunderclap Breathing Technique?

The Buddhist Race was one of the strongest races in the Yang Realm, and their breathing technique had never fallen out of the top five, whether in prehistoric times or the present.

It could be said this race's breathing technique was extremely powerful, touted as ultimate!

From ancient times to the present, some highly ranked breathing techniques had been replaced, no longer making it into the top ten, but the Buddhist Race's breathing technique consistently remained at the very forefront, capable of dominating the entire Yang Realm.

With this breathing technique, various mystic arts could be evolved without needing to cultivate other secret manuals!

Legend has it that one of the Yang Realm's most powerful secret arts, the Buddhist Race's trump card, "Universal Salvation," was comprehended after cultivating the Great Thunderclap Breathing Technique to its peak.

"I cannot make that decision." The short-haired man in white shook his head. This was a polite refusal, as it was impossible to exchange the Great Thunderclap Breathing Technique.

The Great Thunderclap Breathing Technique could dominate the Yang world. What a joke! No matter how precious the Time Furnace was, it couldn't compare to the Buddhist Race's supreme scripture. How could it possibly be exchanged!

For a moment, silence fell upon the area.

Everyone understood that while the middle-aged woman appeared silent and spoke little, she actually had enormous demands. Ordinary items could never impress her.

What was surprising was that no one attempted to steal it, and no one made a move here.

Furthermore, even the few individuals within the chaotic eyes near the Heaven-Piercing Waterfall, who had shown signs of movement earlier, were now quiet and had not emerged.

Clearly, they too were deterred by the middle-aged woman's conditions.

This showed that the middle-aged woman's background was anything but simple, inspiring awe, and no one dared to cause trouble.

"Everyone, you might find my conditions too demanding. Then allow me to reveal some information. Do you know who the first owner of this item was?" The middle-aged woman looked at the crowd.

"Who?" A Divine King asked, simply and directly.

"The prehistoric mastermind—Li!"

When these words were uttered, the area first fell silent, then erupted in commotion.

After hearing this, Chu Feng was first dumbfounded, then, for some unknown reason, felt like laughing.

Old Gu's sworn brother, this was truly... infamous. He had become a universally acknowledged mastermind. But judging by the crowd's reaction, his prestige was simply astonishing!

For a moment, even the white-clad Buddhist Son from the Buddhist Race was moved, and the people from the Sub-Immortal Race also showed surprise. All of them were interested once more.

Not to mention others, everyone's hearts pounded, and their blood rushed. The madman who dared to attack the Martial Lunatic and beat him until his head was covered in blood remained one of the strongest legends in evolutionary history to this day.

Chu Feng secretly asked Old Gu, "Is that really your brother's item?"

"Nonsense! I've never seen this broken furnace before!" Old Gu insisted that he had never seen this item.

The middle-aged woman said, "Before Li's death, or perhaps disappearance, he obtained this artifact, personally retrieving it from the Heaven-Piercing Waterfall. He studied it for two or three years, cherishing it and showing it to no one. Ultimately, he died with eternal mysteries, but this item remained."

As these words came out, they caused an even greater sensation.

Some young people, and even Divine Kings, were instructing those around them to leave, to report back to their families and ask their elders if they should bid for it.

"Li once said that this item was peculiar and contained immense secrets," the middle-aged woman added.

By this point, the stir created was unimaginable. Even people emerged from the chaotic eyes, stepping out of the whirlpools, and hovered, looking down upon the area.

Chu Feng secretly said, "Old Gu, this is unbearable! She's using your brother's reputation to sell fakes. Don't you want to expose her? Or tell me some secrets, and I'll help you report her later!"

"Trying to get benefits from me?" Old Gu looked as if he saw right through Chu Feng. Then, his reaction was strange; he muttered very seriously, "Could it be that item?"

"What item? Surely there isn't actually such an artifact?" Chu Feng asked in surprise.

"There is such an item. Two or three years before my brother died, he indeed retrieved an artifact from the Heaven-Piercing Waterfall. He was very cautious, not letting me see it. He said he had a premonition that it was an extremely terrifying item. Heavenly Venerates might even die if they wore it. It was extremely ominous."

Old Gu recalled old events from back then, feeling unsettled and uncertain. Could it be this very Time Furnace?

Chu Feng was astonished that such an ancient artifact actually existed. This was truly astounding.

"Hmm, if it's that item," Old Gu continued, "I advise you to stay as far away as possible. You wouldn't be able to bear such 'fortune.' My brother said back then that only he and a select few—three or five people—could observe it for extended periods. Anyone else who dared to do so would surely die. This item represents ill omen and a great terror from the very end of existence!"

Old Gu fully recalled the events of that year, becoming extremely serious, and actually spoke such words.

At this moment, the girl identical to Lin Nuoyi also arrived. She smiled slightly, nodded to Ying Zhexian, the white-clad Buddhist Son, and others, took the Time Furnace, and personally examined it.

However, her reaction was very strange. No sooner had she placed it in her hand than she instantly dropped it, as if she had encountered something venomous, her face turning slightly pale.

Chu Feng sharply noticed a peculiar aura rising from her. It was an energy trace from the ultimate land of reincarnation.

Only he, having successfully entered reincarnation with his physical body, could sense it!

Chu Feng was astonished. How could this girl, identical to Lin Nuoyi, have such a reaction? She had clearly used her awakened reincarnation abilities and memories!

One should know that Chu Feng had seen the imprint she left in the Reincarnation Hall. It was of a terrifying figure of unparalleled grace. From a long, long time ago, perhaps even more ancient than prehistory, she had once reincarnated.

This could mean that she had just recognized what the Time Furnace truly was. Had she perhaps encountered it in prehistoric times?!

"Oh? Little immortal, you seem to be a little wary of it, or perhaps you understand something about it?" The middle-aged woman showed a curious expression as she asked.

The girl's complexion returned to normal, and she said, "Hmm, I once saw a record that this item likely has an extraordinary origin. I never imagined it truly existed in the world."
