Chapter 340: Hundred Strong Star World

As soon as he responded, Chu Feng immediately realized Lin Naoi had "designed" him, tricking part of the truth out of him.

Prior to this, he hadn't known the man with the crimson mark between his brows was named Han Fei, and he knew nothing about him.

Chu Feng turned back to look at his beautiful ex-girlfriend, his feelings complex. She truly was as intelligent as ever. While he was distracted, absentmindedly staring at the golden divine egg, she had seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, causing him to reveal his hand with just a slight lapse in attention.

Lin Naoi's hair flowed loosely, gleaming with a crystalline luster. Her face was perfect. At this moment, she showed a surprised expression and didn't press further.

Chu Feng turned his head, not bothering to explain or conceal. They were both intelligent people; more words would be useless. He looked into the depths of the space, where points of light shimmered. It appeared to be a very peaceful pure land.

Nearby, people were agitated and very excited. They had actually entered the Sealing and Zen Conferment Land with Chu Feng, incredibly fortunate to be there, and were all filled with anticipation.

In this area, everyone held weapons, ready to seize their opportunities. For a moment, there was a bit of chaos.

"You don't trust me as much anymore," Lin Naoi said, a moment later.

She didn't look at Chu Feng, but also gazed into the depths of the space. Her fair, supple profile gleamed, soft and radiant like mutton-fat jade. Her figure was tall and graceful.

"How could that be?" Chu Feng said.

"Everyone's waiting for you to figure something out. You're not planning to trick people, are you?" At this moment, Jiang Luoshen arrived and asked from the side.

In fact, many people looked over, genuinely worried. Only Chu Feng understood the domain techniques here, and if he were to scheme something, he might actually be able to trap and kill a group of people.

Chu Feng remained calm. To be honest, he really did want to bury those he disliked and see them perish here.

It was now clear that a group of people were sensitive about his past notorious deeds and were on guard, afraid he would cause trouble.

"What nonsense! Am I that kind of person? Would I do something like that?"

What left him speechless was that some people subconsciously nodded.

Of course, they also realized they were being too disrespectful. After realizing, they all let out dry laughs, unanimously saying they trusted Chu Feng, praising him as a man of integrity and noble character.

These words made Chu Feng's old face flush slightly. He coughed dryly and began studying the domain techniques again.

Then, to everyone's surprise, he announced that the place was very safe, with no domain traps ahead, and they could proceed with confidence.

Upon hearing this, not a single person stepped forward. On the contrary, everyone retreated and looked at Chu Feng nervously.

Especially people like the Master of Yuxu Palace and the Master of Bajing Palace, who almost turned around and left the place immediately.

"What do you mean by this? Didn't you just say I was of noble character and trustworthy? Why are you retreating?!" Chu Feng raised his voice.

"Damn it! How annoying!" Chu Feng thought. He rarely spoke the truth, kindly informing them, but no one believed him, except for the old Grandmaster.

Chu Feng demonstrated with action, stepping forward. He stared ahead, but ignored the golden divine egg.

Because, with his Fiery Golden Eyes, he saw something strange: the egg was an empty shell. The creature inside had long since hatched, merely piecing the shell back together to form a round egg.

Seeing him step forward, everyone followed, believing that as long as they followed his steps, there wouldn't be any major problems.

With a whoosh, as everyone left the exit, a golden light shot out. It was incredibly fast, beyond everyone's imagination—a creature was trying to escape.

"Chase it, stop it! That might be a true dragon cub!" Chu Feng shouted.

He secretly called it a miscalculation. He had originally thought the creature in the golden divine egg had hatched years ago, leaving only an empty shell. But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all; perhaps it had only hatched recently, after the world's reawakening.

Everyone's eyes turned red with eagerness. They all ran back, wanting to chase it.

But that thing was too fast. It leaped onto the pebble-strewn path, transformed into a stream of light, and darted into the mist.

Everyone grew anxious, unable to catch it, and pounded their chests in frustration.

"Oh my goodness, what is that thing?!"

Just then, a cry of surprise came from the pebble path suspended in the void. Someone had been hit and almost fell off.

"Stop it! That's a true dragon cub!"

Everyone was overjoyed. There were still people on the pebble path, so far behind?

"Grandfather, be careful!" A young girl exclaimed.

"You devilish thing, where do you think you're going?!"

People saw it was a grandfather and granddaughter. An old Daoist priest's hands were glowing as he tried to grab the creature, while a rebellious young girl with a curvaceous figure was shouting loudly.

The old Daoist priest whose backside had been scorched at Mount Zijin had actually quietly followed behind, bringing his rebellious granddaughter along.

With a bang, golden light exploded there, and broken scales and feathers flew. The old Daoist priest almost tumbled down.

"How terrifying! The scales and feathers of a divine beast! Anyone else would have died coming into contact with them. Fortunately, this old man was here. Wait, where did it go? Did it escape?"

The old Daoist priest exclaimed strangely, searching around, then growing anxious.

In fact, everyone's hearts sank; that thing was gone.

Only Chu Feng showed a peculiar expression. With his Fiery Golden Eyes, he saw clearly: it was just a cluster of scales and feathers that disintegrated and burst open after colliding with the old Daoist priest in the mist. It wasn't the actual creature.

He knew there was a creature in this space that wanted to escape, hoping to perform a "golden cicada shedding its shell" trick. It had merely used a shell to test the path first, making people think it had escaped.

Chu Feng estimated that the creature was still there. Given its desire to escape, its strength might not be that great.

The old Daoist priest cursed, walking over indignantly.

"Handsome Brother Chu Feng!" After the rebellious young girl saw Chu Feng, her large eyes fluttered, and she swayed her slender waist, gracefully approaching him. This made the old Daoist priest even more displeased, glaring in their direction.

"It has both feathers and scales—what kind of thing is that?" a group of people wondered, then asked the old Daoist priest for guidance.

Of course, many people were deeply wary of him, asking questions cautiously. This was definitely a terrifying master. At Mount Zijin, even the Yin and Yang flames couldn't burn him to death; others turned to ashes, but he stubbornly managed to bounce back out.

"How would I know? I didn't see clearly," the old Daoist priest said indignantly, sulking. "But it's definitely a divine beast cub." He regretfully felt like banging his head on the ground.

He had been following behind everyone, sneaking into the Sealing and Zen Conferment Land, hoping to seize some fortune. Who would have thought that a moment of carelessness just now would let a tremendous opportunity slip away?

If it really was a divine beast or sacred beast cub, it would be unimaginable. Once it matured, it would be enough to sweep across an entire star world.

At this moment, Chu Feng walked towards the golden divine egg. Seeing this, others also eagerly prepared to act. The old Daoist priest moved first, arriving after others but getting there first, embracing the golden egg.

With a crack, it directly shattered. Indeed, just as Chu Feng had seen through it, it was empty inside, with nothing at all.

"That thing escaped," Chu Feng said calmly.

People sighed, knowing it was the cub that had just fled.

"What kind of trees are these?" Everyone gathered around. Around the shattered eggshell, there were many small golden trees, but unfortunately, they crumbled upon touch.

"Divine trees," the old Daoist priest said, looking displeased. "They provided energy to this egg, exhausting their essence. Now they are all ruined."

Especially when he saw his granddaughter chatting and laughing intimately with Chu Feng, he really wanted to hit someone.

"Senior, it's great that you're here," someone said, reminding him not to actually punish Chu Feng. "Now that Chu Feng is proficient in domain techniques, and with a master like you presiding, we are foolproof. After all, we still rely on him to decipher the domain."

Chu Feng was carefully searching at this moment. He had the old Grandmaster block the exit, believing the creature was still there!

Soon, he discovered an anomaly: a small domain in a certain area that could conceal vital energy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Chu Feng directly deployed some lodestones, sealing off that area. He walked a circle around it, knowing that if there were no surprises, the creature was inside.

Indeed, as he explored and used his domain techniques, he vaguely sensed something.

Finally, he didn't act immediately. He threw down some jade blocks inscribed with symbols, completely sealing off the area to prevent the creature from escaping.

If it truly was a divine beast or sacred beast cub, capturing it now would definitely cause major trouble. Even if he obtained it today, he would be coveted by all parties later, and creatures from outside this domain would surely come looking for him immediately after their arrival.

The others didn't understand. They thought he was, as before, setting up small domains to probe and deduce, hoping to find a reliable path.

Chu Feng pretended, carving runes and throwing out lodestones here and there.

Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, it's very safe here."

With that, he led the way.

This place was lush and green. The leaves glowed, and even the weeds appeared carved from jade, emitting a spiritual radiance.

But unfortunately, apart from the golden divine trees that had just withered, no other extraordinary trees were seen.

"Don't worry," Chu Feng said, "I have a premonition that there's a great opportunity in the Sealing and Zen Conferment Land, right in the depths ahead."

This entire space shimmered with a faint golden radiance, making it very sacred.

Not long after proceeding, a grand aura washed over them. Everyone's expression changed, sensing that they must have arrived at an extraordinary place.

Indeed, after passing through a thorny thicket, immense fluctuations ahead shook the heavens and the earth. It was as if a sea of stars was surging, or as if great stars were falling, one after another.

What was happening? Many king-level creatures trembled.

Finally, they saw that after the white mist dispersed, a magnificent altar appeared ahead. It was excessively large, standing there like a city.

At the same time, the sacrificial chants of ancient ancestors seemed to transcend time and space, echoing from the ancient earth.

The altar was grand and imposing, with a magnificent aura, comparable to a massive mountain!

Ordinary altars, compared to it, were like small mounds of earth.

On the altar were five-colored jade tables, shimmering with brilliant light, emitting splendid divine radiance, glittering brightly, and flowing like water waves.

"There are offerings!"

Everyone was startled. On the altar, the five-colored jade tables were enormous, covered with offerings. Many of them emitted auspicious light, clearly sacred objects.

At this moment, no one dared to act rashly, because the oppressive aura emanating from the altar was too vast. Were these offerings presented during a Heaven Worship Ceremony?

"These offerings are all heaven-defying items," the old Daoist priest chuckled.

Many people were shocked, their hearts pounding. Here, they felt their spirits tremble, wanting to prostrate themselves in worship.

Chu Feng, however, was lost in thought. He stared at the offerings on the five-colored jade tables, always feeling something resonate with the small black-and-white millstone within his body, and surprisingly, he felt hungry.

He showed a peculiar expression, filled with immense hope!

At this moment, the clouds and mist in the sky also dispersed, revealing a shocking sight that stunned everyone.

In the sky, there were many celestial bodies, appearing to be the size of millstones. They were all aligned in a single line, horizontally suspended high above the altar, and brilliantly colored.

Counting carefully, there were a total of one hundred stars. Some were crimson, some emerald green, some shimmering purple... They looked only as large as millstones, but their auras were terrifying, as if they could crush the entire universe.

"The most powerful... top one hundred star worlds?!" The old Daoist priest exclaimed.
