Chapter 339: Opening the Land of Fengchan

Han Fei, the man with a crimson mark between his eyebrows, felt a strong sense of defeat. It was outrageous that a native, in his eyes, could actually compete with a prodigy from beyond this domain. It was even more ridiculous, considering he had always regarded this person as useless before.

Deep in his eyes, there was resentment and coldness, but he concealed it well. Such a matter needed to be reported to nip the potential trouble in the bud as soon as possible. On Earth, whoever seized the initiative and obtained top-tier resources would always be a step ahead. The big question was, how could he escape?

Despite his inner turmoil, Han Fei still held onto a sliver of hope. With a gentle smile, he claimed they had no ill intentions and simply admired talent, wishing to invite Chu Feng to intensively study formations. According to him, Mount Laoshan, occupied by Heavenly Deity Biological, held secret texts.

Chu Feng ignored him and directly asked various questions. Chu Feng held Han Fei by the neck, much like clutching a dead duck. This infuriated Han Fei, igniting a strong killing intent and a deep sense of humiliation within him. Chu Feng continued to press him, asking where Han Fei's father was, which extraterrestrial lineage he belonged to, and how profound his strength was.

Han Fei's answers were not smooth. There were things he genuinely didn't know, and his impromptu fabrications contained loopholes that Chu Feng, with his sharp perception, immediately exposed. Instantly, cold sweat trickled down his face.

"Your status as a bastard isn't very high, is it?" Chu Feng remarked.

Han Fei harbored murderous intent, but dared not show it. He secretly swore to hire someone to kill Chu Feng later, to eliminate this native as soon as possible. Still, he tried his best to smile, and proactively brought up various details about Lin Yaoyi, hoping to foster a connection.

"Crack!"

To Han Fei's horror, Chu Feng mercilessly twisted his neck, ending his life on the spot. "I hate this!" In his final moments, his throat struggled to move, letting out a low growl. As a descendant of an extraterrestrial visitor, he had always considered himself an inheritor from beyond this domain, destined for a brilliant life upon returning to his home planet. To die like this at the hands of a native?

With a thud, Chu Feng tossed him onto the ground like a dead dog, watching him kick his legs and breathe his last. Chu Feng had learned all he could. This person didn't know much, which disappointed him. He generally understood that Han Fei's father might be in the Arctic or near the so-called Qilin's Nest, undergoing a hibernation-like dormancy. However, there was no specific location. Additionally, he unexpectedly learned that Lin Yaoyi harbored a significant secret and was highly valued, potentially destined to be sent to the "home planet."

Shortly after, the old grandmaster returned, informing Chu Feng that he had dealt with two avian kings. It was astonishing that he had even taken down king-level flying creatures from the sky.

"The extraterrestrial visitors are about to appear. Won't this cause trouble?" the old grandmaster frowned.

"It's fine," Chu Feng shook his head, unconcerned. Han Fei had acted on his own initiative and hadn't informed anyone. Chu Feng had thoroughly understood the situation; otherwise, he wouldn't have simply crushed him to death. He merely regretted that Han Fei didn't know much. Han Fei had stealthily infiltrated the mist-shrouded domain, hoping to abduct him without a trace. This, ironically, made things convenient for Chu Feng, as he didn't need to worry about the aftermath.

"Sigh, I have some regrets," Chu Feng muttered.

"What's wrong?" the old grandmaster asked.

"It would have been better if they had captured me and taken me to Mount Laoshan to study the formation books." With his current strength, he wouldn't have to worry about anything at Mount Laoshan, especially since Han Fei's father hadn't emerged yet. "I hope people from other syndicates also come to capture me. If their mountain gates offer many benefits, I'll never resist; I'll let them abduct me."

Hearing him say this, even an honest man like the old grandmaster didn't know how to respond. If the Black Ox or the Northeast Tiger were here, they would certainly consider him a kindred spirit. A bunch of troublemakers would happily cooperate, then completely wreck all the so-called hidden treasures of those mountains.

On that very day, as the evening glow painted the sky, more people intruded. "You want to capture me?" Chu Feng asked, his face full of anticipation, his eyes burning with eagerness.

Three people in total had entered. Upon seeing his demeanor and that look in his eyes, they felt something was off and were startled. The three quickly composed themselves. One woman, with a cold smile, said, "What a joke. What use are you? Just kill him!" They were clearly from the South Sea, connected to the deaths of Black Teng and Black Chi, and sought revenge.

Chu Feng's face instantly fell. He said indignantly, "If you don't possess secret formation texts and don't want to abduct me, what use are you?"

What in the world?! The three of them were speechless. Was this damned person actually hoping to be captured?!

"Kill!" The two men and one woman lunged forward. Their fate was naturally tragic. Enraged and frustrated at not being abducted, Chu Feng smacked them all to death. Their true forms revealed, he tossed them into the Jade Pure Bottle.

After being refined by the Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, the spatial bottle showed no external changes, but its internal space had expanded many times over, reaching a volume of 800 cubic meters. Chu Feng suspected it had a restriction, and when a part of it was broken at Purple Gold Mountain last time, its interior expanded.

"Why isn't anyone coming to capture me?" Over the next two days, Chu Feng was filled with resentment. Nothing he had hoped for happened; the area remained calm.

A day later, the centenarian monk Qianjia from Bodhi Gene appeared. Chu Feng had met him on Mount Putuo previously, and now his strength had grown, making him a supreme king.

"Amitabha, blessed indeed, blessed indeed." The old monk had light golden skin and kind eyes, almost radiating a Buddhist halo behind his head. He had mastered a Golden Arhat Breathing Technique, and his current strength was terrifying.

What did he mean? The old monk greeted him with "blessed indeed." What was going on? Chu Feng didn't understand, but soon realized the old monk was seeking credit. Jiang Luoshen was beside the old monk, her figure slender, elegant, and even more alluring after becoming a king. She smiled enchantingly and said, "Chu Feng, you should thank us. Master Qianjia helped you repel four groups of ill-intentioned individuals."

"Who were they?" Chu Feng asked.

"Don't worry, they probably just wanted to abduct you; they lacked killing intent," Jiang Luoshen smiled, her red lips vibrant and sensual, her very silk shining.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng instantly became displeased. So, the old monk had blocked his "opportunity." He truly was frustrated without an outlet. He still wanted to be abducted, and Mount Tai could be visited anytime. Of course, if anyone knew his thoughts, they would surely be dumbfounded and curse him inwardly.

"How will you thank us?" Jiang Luoshen, with her proud figure, crystal-clear skin, and exquisitely fair face, looked captivating as her eyes sparkled, seeking credit.

Chu Feng cast a sidelong glance. Feeling that his good fortune had been obstructed, he was displeased. He directly placed his hands on Jiang Luoshen's shoulders, gazed deeply into her eyes, and said, "You're too good to me. I know your intentions."

Jiang Luoshen couldn't stand it. Goosebumps appeared on her skin, and she shivered. Knowing he was doing it on purpose, she quickly slapped his "dirty" hands away. The old monk Qianjia pretended not to see, chanting Buddhist scriptures, his eyes observing his nose, his nose observing his mouth, his mouth observing his heart, maintaining a solemn and dignified appearance.

In the distance, people started jeering. Chu Feng turned around and saw a large crowd. Various major forces were well-prepared, their personnel almost fully assembled, ready to ascend the Fengshan sacrificial site with him. Lin Yaoyi also arrived, standing not far away. Her face was serene and beautiful, her demeanor cold and elegant, as she quietly watched. Chu Feng saw her, and also the old woman who had been carried in on a soft couch. She was reclining there, and despite missing half her body, she still seemed full of vigor. Chu Feng nodded to them. Three days ago, he had killed Han Fei, the man with the crimson mark between his eyebrows. He wondered if these people had noticed. For now, it seemed there were no issues.

No mountain is greater than it; no history is older than it. Mount Tai was majestic and grand. After the cosmic changes, it soared unknown miles into the sky, standing between heaven and earth, its grandeur and magnificence truly awe-inspiring. Along the way, mountain cliffs radiated light, and inscribed carvings glowed with colorful streaks. All the scenery was sacred. The place was completely different from before, with a faint glow flowing down the cliff face from the mountaintop.

Chu Feng and the others ascended the mountain, reaching the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai. The mist still lingered, appearing somewhat ethereal. Before the world changed, Jade Emperor Peak was not large. Now, it seemed endless, shrouded in mist like the clouds of immortals.

"What an unparalleled formation!" Chu Feng sighed. After returning here, his perspective had changed. He could discern part of its essence: this area was naturally a result of folded space opening. Most importantly, the spread of the formation was awe-inspiring, astounding heaven and earth; the entire area was truly extraordinary. Vaguely, he sensed a topography suitable for ascension to immortality, for soaring into the heavens, and even faintly heard the sacrificial chants of ancient ancestors!

Chu Feng's eyes glowed. Using his Fiery Golden Eyes, he immediately saw through the soil layers to the formation symbols beneath. A single glance stirred his emotions; it was incredibly profound. The layout here was the work of supernatural craftsmanship.

"Why are your eyes glowing a light gold?" Jiang Luoshen asked suspiciously.

"My burns haven't healed yet, Luoshen. Don't hover around me; I need to concentrate on my work," Chu Feng said, going against his true feelings.

Chu Feng walked and stopped, sometimes digging into the soil and carefully observing, sometimes lowering his head in silence for long periods. This area was exceptionally extraordinary, and the ancient formation symbols beneath the ground were astonishingly complex. Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the mist, the place where one could easily get lost. Here, flower fragrances permeated the air and fruit aromas assailed their noses. There was definitely an inexplicable space, but they couldn't find the way in, no entrance.

Chu Feng began his deductions, occasionally carving symbols onto lodestones, arranging them here, setting up various small formations for testing. "No, walking straight in might lead to a Soul-Losing Formation, an upgraded version of the 'ghost-hitting-a-wall' phenomenon!" "Walking in diagonally isn't good either; you'd step into a pit filled with condensed Solar Fire Essence and instantly turn to ash."

Chu Feng studied repeatedly and tested continuously, sensing that formations appeared every short distance in this area. They were the crystallization of ancient people's efforts, who had attached immense importance to this sacrificial site. It took a full eight days, during which Chu Feng used up a large quantity of lodestones and jade pieces. Only then did he make astonishing progress, a feat that only major syndicates could afford to support.

A small path made of pebbles emerged, resembling a floating bridge. Above, below, and all around the pebbles was void; the ground was invisible. It led to a space emitting a hazy glow. "It really worked?!" People were astonished, secretly marveling at Chu Feng's incredible methods. Was this an early unlocking of Mount Tai's supreme great fortune?

Since the cosmic changes, countless powerful figures had attempted to conquer it. Although they had broken through multiple times, the gains were limited. Everyone knew that this place would surely become extraordinary in the future. As the famous mountains automatically withdrew their formations, revealing their true forms, various divine trees, sacred fruits, and other treasures would undoubtedly emerge. No one had expected Chu Feng to open a path today, allowing everyone to enter.

The masters of Jade Void Palace and Eight Scenery Palace were also in the crowd, their faces so grim they looked like they could drip water. They considered this place their private reserve, but now they had to share it. They deeply regretted letting Chu Feng go that day. If they had kept him in Jade Void Palace and asked him to specialize in formations, all these fortuitous encounters would now exclusively belong to them. At this moment, many people's gazes toward Chu Feng changed. There were so many famous mountains in the world; if they had Chu Feng, their future path of evolution would be bright and splendid! Such a person absolutely had to be kept within one's own sect, held firmly in hand!

Led by Chu Feng, a group of people walked forward along the suspended pebble path. White mist surrounded them, and they dared not be careless, proceeding very cautiously to avoid falling. Finally, they reached the entrance to the space, where a stone platform large enough to accommodate a multitude of kings awaited.

"Eh, is that..." Chu Feng was almost drooling, his eyes shining brightly as he stared ahead. His Fiery Golden Eyes saw clearly, possessing vision superior to anyone else's.

"What do you see?" Jiang Luoshen asked, nudging his shoulder from beside him.

Chu Feng turned, glanced at her chest, and instinctively replied, "So big!"

"Where are you looking? What nonsense are you talking about!" This time, she saw Chu Feng's eyes were unusually glowing with golden light, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

"Impure thoughts, what are you imagining? I was talking about a large, perfectly round golden egg deep within the space," Chu Feng said with a serious expression.

At this moment, others also saw it. As the mist dispersed, everyone was shocked. Was that a divine egg? There were some small golden trees nearby, and in their midst, a perfectly spherical golden egg radiated dazzling light, truly extraordinary. Everyone swallowed, eager to rush in and seize it immediately. However, after glancing at Chu Feng, no one dared to move rashly, fearing unknown formation traps.

Chu Feng pondered for over two hours, deciphering a safe path. He then walked directly in, and the group, instantly excited, surged in after him.

"Ahead, I can't quite see through it. Who wants to go and try? Could it be a dragon egg? Who can get it?" Chu Feng prompted. The group instantly became agitated, rubbing their palms together, eager to act. However, many of these people were old foxes, each more cunning than the last. Seeing Chu Feng remain still, they didn't dare to rush forward.

"Let's be clear first: if you don't make a move, don't try to snatch the dragon egg from me when I get it!" Chu Feng declared.

"Don't worry, Brother Chu. You've performed such a great service; you should naturally be the first to choose the fortune," some people said hypocritically. The area instantly became chaotic with fervent discussion.

"Has Han Fei looked for you?" At this moment, Lin Yaoyi approached Chu Feng and quietly asked.

"No!" Chu Feng decisively denied it.
