Chapter 1127: Chu Feng's Eldest Son

“Is this a spiritual egg nurtured by heaven and earth essence?” someone asked in surprise.

Those present didn't possess fiery golden eyes, but some had heavenly eyes, and a few elders had astonishingly keen divine senses, immediately noticing something unusual.

The young man brought by the elder from Yongzhou, who was enveloped in chaotic energy, was extraordinary. His primordial qi was contained, untainted by even a speck of worldly dust.

One could even say he was a celestial fetus. While ordinary beings born into the world are entangled by worldly defilement, he had severed these roots, harboring primordial essence within.

“Yes, he was originally a spiritual egg contained within a nine-orifice divine stone from Flower-Fruit Mountain in Dongsheng Divine Continent. He emerged nine years ago, and his innate quality is indeed remarkable,” the elder from Yongzhou said with a smile. The elder from Yongzhou, named Haoyuan, was the grand-disciple of the supreme expert from Yongzhou. His gaze was obscured by the chaos surrounding his body, appearing hazy. He was powerful, but his words were even more captivating.

Many were surprised, feeling a deep sense of unexpectedness.

“I see, I heard something about this back then too. I heard a stone fetus emerged, but to be this powerful, with naturally born fiery golden eyes?!”

Many were moved, all watching the young man beside the elder. He stood over 1.9 meters tall, very imposing and heroic. His sword-like eyebrows extended to his temples, and his eyes were full of spirit, making him an exceptionally handsome and compelling young man. However, his arms were made of stone, which drew people's attention. His hands looked incredibly strong, making one suspect he could sever divine weapons with his bare hands.

“He is a spiritual egg, nurtured by heaven and earth. Born into this chaotic era, he is destined to join the army and fight in bloody battles,” said Haoyuan, the elder from Yongzhou.

The crowd felt awe. They sensed that Yongzhou's faction was extraordinary, able to find such a Dao fetus. Could this be a sign of destiny?

“His name is Dakong,” Haoyuan revealed the stone fetus's name.

“A good name, excellent,” even the typically serene Stone Buddha spoke up. Although they belonged to different factions, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

In the distance, Chu Feng was startled. He was sensitive to the name “Dakong” because the words echoing from the Time Furnace had included this keyword, mentioning “Dakong's Fire.” Was this just a coincidence?

“This name was bestowed by my grand-master,” the elder chuckled.

Upon hearing this, everyone was moved. His grand-master was the supreme expert of Yongzhou, who once ruled one-twentieth of the Yang World's territory, perished in a lightning tribulation, and then revived in the current era to reorder the universe, truly a peerless overlord.

Chu Feng was stirred. He felt that the Yongzhou expert wouldn't give a name carelessly. Did this mean he knew about Dakong's Fire? This was an astonishing clue! He carefully observed Dakong, who was indeed extraordinary and astonishing, nurtured by heaven and earth. A halo of Grand Dao glowed around his body, and his flesh and blood body perfectly integrated with his stone arms, without any abruptness.

In fact, besides bestowing the name Dakong, the Yongzhou overlord had also said that when Dakong shed all his stone qualities, that would be the moment he evolved onto the right path and glimpsed the ultimate Dao.

The Stone Buddha spoke again: “Although we are in the extreme west, an elder Buddha in my clan once had a premonition. On a whim, he made a divination and sensed a strange object from beyond the heavens descending and touching the land of Dongsheng Divine Continent. I presume it is related to this young man?”

He was usually taciturn, but today he spoke in detail, which greatly surprised everyone. They quickly realized that the Buddhist clan must have divined something extraordinary or significant back then!

Haoyuan smiled and said, “That's right. A strange object descended from the sky back then, and creation matter merged with the stone fetus, causing him to emerge prematurely and become Dakong.”

“What? The heavens and earth resonated, and a strange object merged into the stone fetus, completing him?!” The Stone Buddha frowned, showing such an emotional fluctuation for the first time.

For a moment, silence fell, and everyone looked towards Dakong. He was very composed, silently cupped his fist in greeting to everyone, then nodded in acknowledgment.

The more Chu Feng listened, the more something felt off. When he had escaped from the ultimate reincarnation ground, he had caused a huge commotion. Was he being misunderstood? Indeed, a wisp of creation matter had escaped from the stone jar back then. Had it been absorbed by this stone fetus?

“That was supreme essence from beyond the heavens, which brought Dakong into being,” Haoyuan stated without reservation, emphasizing Yongzhou's destined mandate and how it was predestined in the dark.

Everyone was stunned. Heavenly creation matter and strange objects from outside the domain, all gravitating towards Yongzhou, truly seemed to foreshadow something. Such anomalies were recorded in historical annals. That kind of creation matter and exotic objects from other domains, when they occasionally appeared, truly seemed like a manifestation of destiny! There had been instances where such occurrences had created unfathomable figures and dynasties! It was said that Li Sanlong, the Li of that era, was such a figure of destiny.

Everyone's expression changed; even the Stone Buddha frowned.

Only Chu Feng was stroking his chin, pondering. In a sense, could this stone fetus be considered his son? The essence of heaven and earth had descended into the Yang World, entered the nine-orifice immortal stone, and brought about Dakong's emergence. Wasn't this a child he had inadvertently created? Even though the child was already taller than him!

Regardless of whether others believed it, Chu Feng had already accepted it in his heart: this was his son. “Believe it or not, I believe it!” he muttered. Though he knew the young man was terrifying, he felt a sense of superiority in his heart, looking down on him: “You're my son!”

In the distance, a group of people exclaimed in awe and shock. Even Emperor Peng, the Buddhist Son, Ying Zhexian, and others stepped forward together to greet and converse with Dakong. On Chu Feng's side, apart from a Northeastern Tiger practicing silent meditation, there was no one else. It was desolate and quiet, truly a deserted spot outside the circle of admirers.

He no longer paid attention and began to seriously select his items again.

“Young brother, have you made your selection?” the middle-aged woman urged. Her voice was flat and unconcerned. At this moment, even the Stone Buddha had arrived, and the younger brother of the Golden Crow Clan's Great Sun King had also descended, all observing the Time Furnace. That was where the real business lay.

“Hmm, I've almost finished selecting. Just need to consider for a bit longer.”

Chu Feng possessed fiery golden eyes, but he only used them subtly, without revealing them. He set his sights on a severely worn silver lamp, slightly damaged, yet it gave off an unusual impression. But he eventually discarded it, turning his attention to a small spear, the length of a chopstick. It was dull black and made of wood, looking very unremarkable. He weighed it in his hand; it felt very ordinary, similar in quality to a common wooden chopstick. He truly couldn't discern anything special about it. What was particularly striking was that a small section of the spear's tail end had rotted away. This left him speechless. He hadn't believed it at first, but upon touching it and even trying to scrape it with a knife, he actually dug off some decaying matter!

Chu Feng was astonished. He began to doubt his own judgment. Although he felt there was something peculiar about the item, there was no strong evidence to support it. He had secretly hidden a few grains of reincarnation earth under his fingernails. Just now, he had felt these grains were slightly unusual, warming up slightly, which was why he had chosen this spear. But then again, the tail end of this thing was rotten. If it was so prone to decay, could it really be a good item? Chu Feng had already returned the grains of reincarnation earth to the stone jar and had no intention of taking them out to test again. After all, there were too many important figures here, making it somewhat risky.

He decided to just pick this small wooden spear.

Just then, Dakong walked over towards them, looking at the items on the stall. Haoyuan and the Stone Buddha were still observing the Time Furnace, while Dakong bent down to pick other artifacts.

“Oh, that little rogue cultivator chose a wooden spear. Interesting.”

“Ha, did you see that? A section of the wooden spear is rotten! What kind of eyesight is that?!”

A group of people laughed, and some came closer. However, a single sentence from Dakong silenced them.

“May I take a look at this wooden spear?”

“No, I've already chosen it,” Chu Feng shook his head. Simultaneously, he thought to himself, *My big son, don't compete with your old man. You're a step too late!* If Haoyuan and Dakong knew what he was thinking, and the way he was addressing him, they would surely beat him to death!

“Are you sure you want this one?” the middle-aged woman asked.

“Yes, this is it,” Chu Feng nodded.

“Alright, we're even then!” the middle-aged woman readily agreed.

“Senior, what's the origin of this wooden spear?” someone inquired, believing the organization certainly knew about it.

The middle-aged woman replied, “We've studied it for a long time. It's been in our warehouse for millions of years. However, many prominent figures, even our leaders, have personally examined it and found no special use for it.”

Many people laughed upon hearing this. If even the seller said so, one could imagine the spear's value.

“Perhaps it's a Chaos Root, who knows!” someone whispered. There were several types of Chaos Roots in the world, all priceless, but they grew in forbidden lands, entirely inaccessible to outsiders. Not to mention extracting them, one couldn't even see them.

“Impossible,” the middle-aged woman shook her head. “We conducted an experiment. We scraped off a bit of woodchip from it, and when fed to ordinary creatures, it showed none of the unusual properties a Chaos Root should possess. It only gave a few ordinary creatures diarrhea for a few days.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, then burst into laughter. It was even worse than pure poison!

“Our assessment confirms that the tail end of this wooden spear is indeed rotted. While the wood material is unusual, it's not exceptionally tough or imperishable.”

Upon hearing these words, everyone completely lost interest in the item. Even Chu Feng himself was speechless listening to this. This damned wooden spear was so unpromising, making him lose face. What was its use? Why did it cause the reincarnation earth to heat up? Chu Feng decided he would study it thoroughly later!

Of course, he wasn't going to back down verbally. He declared, “For the old object retrieved from the Heaven-Reaching Waterfall, I choose this one! You don't understand, this is the item of my enlightenment!”

“Pfft!” Several young women of fairy-like beauty couldn't help but burst out laughing.

“Say no more, we'll see each other in the Heaven-Reaching Waterfall!” Chu Feng's old face flushed slightly. He glanced at Dakong again and saw him still staring at the wooden spear in his hand. Chu Feng really wanted to say, *My big son, what are you looking at?!*
