Chapter 350: Alien

Wudang Mountain's peaks were layered and majestic, bathed in a surging green aura. Gurgling springs flowed with an ethereal glow, and waterfalls cascaded, pouring down divine light.

This place was completely different from before. Chu Feng was certain that more powerful treasures were hidden within the mountain, nearby, perhaps even just tens of meters away. This was all due to the domain, which obscured the entrance to a mysterious space and even directly enveloped a hazy, colossal mountain. There was a mountain *above* Wudang! This was beyond doubt: a sacred Daoist land, an ancient divine site, surely nurturing primordial medicinal fields and immense good fortune.

However, despite sensing the profound energy, he couldn't enter immediately. He was studying the domain, having initially found a way in. He believed that continuing his research would inevitably lead to the opening of an even grander sacred mountain. By then, creatures capable of breaking the seventh gene lock would be born through his efforts, belonging to him, the old grandmaster, and perhaps even the toad.

However, in recent days, Wudang Mountain had lost its tranquility due to the sheer number of visitors. Initially, Chu Feng personally welcomed them, eager for the gifts from the magnates. With the mindset of "never refuse a free gift," he graciously accepted the offerings from these former adversaries. He felt no guilt whatsoever, understanding that these people intended to exploit his extraordinary domain abilities. However, after several days, he began to ignore them. These individuals offered large quantities of magnetic stones, jade blocks, and other items, to the point where his hands cramped from receiving them. However, the domain books he truly desired were exceedingly rare; what little he received were merely a few yellowed, incomplete pages, only whetting his appetite further.

The visitors subtly hinted that if he returned with them, they would surely find a way to provide him with ancient domain scriptures. This surprised Chu Feng. He had previously believed that only a handful of domain scriptures existed on Earth, but now it seemed there were at least five or six. He deduced this from the fragments he had encountered, both previously and recently, concluding that these domain books originated from five or six distinct inheritances.

Chu Feng was engrossed in studying Wudang Mountain, so he ceased making personal appearances, leaving the old grandmaster to entertain the guests. This immediately disappointed many. The old grandmaster, following Chu Feng's instructions, subtly conveyed that he would cooperate with anyone who could provide a complete ancient domain scripture. He claimed he could no longer evolve in this life, and all his passion and sentiment were now dedicated to the study of domains. As he spoke these words, the old grandmaster even felt a blush creeping up for Chu Feng.

As for the toad, it lay by the door, watching with narrowed eyes, seething with indignation. "That scoundrel is crippled?" it thought. "And he's talking about passion? Outrageous! Nonsense!" If he were truly crippled, it wouldn't have been beaten so thoroughly. It desperately wanted to tell these people, "You greedy fools, that scoundrel isn't crippled at all. Cooperating with him like this is akin to making a deal with a tiger." But it dared not, because Chu Feng had warned that if it spoke out, he would abandon his title as a divine knight and publicly reveal its identity. He was sure many would then try to capture a divine beast, perhaps even refining it into blood medicine.

"You rogue, you scoundrel, you good-for-nothing, you actually threatened me!" the toad fumed.

Many left disappointed, for Chu Feng was unwilling to act without getting what he wanted. Without a complete domain scripture, he simply wouldn't go with them. Coincidentally, during these same days, several peerless masters launched a combined assault, unleashing terrifying auras. However, the domain successfully repelled them all.

That night, the old grandmaster's expression was grave. He claimed to sense the arrival of old acquaintances, whose formidable strength was terrifying. "Those two are even older than me," the old grandmaster stated. "One is from the Bagua Gate, once invincible, and he's still alive, now almost 130 years old. The other is from the Baji Gate, also 130 years old. He practiced his boxing to a divine level back then, almost developing supernatural abilities even before the world underwent its changes!" Late into the night, he felt a boundless surge of vital energy appear on Wudang Mountain. Ultimately, the domain blocked them, preventing any breakthrough, and they retreated silently.

Even Chu Feng was alarmed. Rushing from the back of the mountain, he was very surprised. "There are still such formidable figures?" he wondered, almost intervening himself. However, the old grandmaster stopped him, not wanting him to reveal himself, and informed him that the two had already retreated. The old grandmaster believed Chu Feng's current "crippled" state was ideal. All factions were trying to recruit him, and even those with hostile intentions wouldn't resort to lethal force. If Chu Feng's true strength were ever revealed, he would instantly become a figure feared by all, guarded against, and even targeted. Most importantly, the old grandmaster worried that extraterrestrial beings would target Chu Feng. Currently, Chu Feng was not revealing his full potential on the path of evolution. Even if divine sons and heavenly maidens from beyond the stars descended soon, they wouldn't bother him; instead, they would try to win him over due to his astonishing mastery of domains.

"I don't have so many concerns," Chu Feng said, speaking boldly. "I've always wanted to hunt divine sons and saintesses; it's a long-standing ambition of mine."

"Do you think they're wild beasts or birds, to be hunted?!" The old grandmaster shook his head.

"I'll act within my capabilities. My plan is to capture a hundred extraterrestrials, learn a hundred inheritances. Those who surrender will be subjugated, and those for warming the bed... well, you know."

The old grandmaster was speechless.

"You have such a grand ambition, why didn't you say so earlier? We're kindred spirits; I've always wanted to catch extraterrestrials too," the toad chimed in, its face alight with excitement.

"Go stand aside! You were born just a year ago. What do you know, you little toad?!" Chu Feng kicked it away, then resumed his study of the domain.

"You're abusing a child!" The toad was on the verge of tears. It had truly been subdued by force lately, as its opponent always imposed his will through sheer strength.

Chu Feng's tranquility didn't last long. The very next day, he was disturbed again, preventing him from concentrating on his research of Wudang Mountain's domain.

"Little thief, get out here! Your Daoist master has arrived, and I'll beat you to death!" The old Daoist priest finally appeared, standing outside the mountain gate, his face dark as he called for Chu Feng to come out.

"Daoist priest, long time no see. I've missed you dearly," Chu Feng said, appearing some distance away and waving to the old man.

"Miss my foot, you scoundrel! Get out here!" The old Daoist priest was furious. He had taken a terrible fall at Mount Tai, and now this brat had the audacity to mock him, acting so brazenly, so arrogant. Yet, he didn't dare to barge in, as he could sense the extraordinary nature of the place, a powerful domain aura permeating it.

"Brother Chu Feng, handsome one, long time no see, I've missed you dearly," the mischievous young girl cheerfully waved, echoing Chu Feng's words with an enthusiastic greeting.

"You shut your mouth!" the old Daoist priest snapped, unwilling for his granddaughter to flirt with that obnoxious brat.

"Tch!" The rebellious young girl gave him a dramatic eye-roll, clearly unconcerned. Though young, she stood a full 170 centimeters tall. Her waist was slender, but her chest was amply developed, and her face was exquisitely beautiful, like that of a mischievous spirit. Every time Chu Feng saw her, he wanted to ask the old Daoist priest how he raised children and what he fed her daily. She was only about twelve years old, yet she had grown into a seductive beauty. What would she become when she grew up? She was already too mature and enchanting.

As it turned out, he accidentally blurted out the question, infuriating the old Daoist priest, who pointed a finger at him and cursed him as lewd and impure-minded.

"Old Daoist, don't talk nonsense! I could say *your* intentions are impure. Why are you raising an eleven or twelve-year-old loli to look like that? What are your motives?!" Seeing Chu Feng try to tarnish his reputation in such a way, the old Daoist priest's beard bristled with rage, and his so-called ethereal, Daoist demeanor vanished completely.

"Brat, come out here! Let's have a good talk and settle our grievances, otherwise, you'll face the consequences," the old Daoist priest threatened.

"Daoist master, if you're a monk, how do you have a granddaughter? Little sister, did he force you to call him grandfather and keep you by his side with ulterior motives?"

"Boundless Heavenly Venerate, damn it!" The old Daoist priest stamped his foot, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Chu Feng, issuing a death threat.

"Daoist master, why are you cursing?" Chu Feng grinned, deliberately taunting and provoking him. He felt the old Daoist priest was truly deplorable; if not for his black and white mini-millstone at Mount Tai last time, the trouble would have been immense, with dog barks erupting whenever he channeled energy—a truly pathetic sight! The young "demoness" also grinned, seemingly delighted to see her grandfather suffer a setback, showing no sympathy whatsoever.

"Handsome brother, you're amazing! You don't know my grandfather's true identity. He's known as the invincible old menace, and to descend upon Earth, he had to..."

"Shut up!" The old Daoist priest glared, stopping her from saying more.

The mischievous young girl stuck out her tongue. Although she often defied her grandfather, she genuinely didn't dare to speak carelessly about matters of this nature. A storm raged in Chu Feng's mind. He recalled things the yellow ox had mentioned about how difficult it was for more powerful beings to descend, requiring them to pay immense prices. He stared at the old Daoist priest, scrutinizing him closely. At the same time, there was no longer any need for confirmation; this grandfather and granddaughter were undeniably extraterrestrial beings who had descended. This left him feeling quite unsettled. He had initially assumed that the old Daoist priest had also appeared twenty-two years ago, married, and had the young "demoness" on Earth. Now, however, it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

"Little sister, it seems we're destined. How about I invite you up the mountain?" Chu Feng offered.

"Okay, okay!" the mischievous young girl nodded happily, her large eyes fluttering as she waited for Chu Feng to escort her inside.

"It's fine," Chu Feng said. "Just step forward boldly. The current domain is quite safe." The mischievous young girl was quite bold. Hearing his words, she didn't hesitate, immediately striding forward with her long legs and running inside, as if afraid her grandfather would stop her.

"Heh heh!" The old Daoist priest sneered, watching his granddaughter step through, creating a path. He then transformed into a gust of wind and swiftly followed her in. "Brat, you're too arrogant! Do you take your Daoist master for a weakling? Even now, I can't follow her in?"

However, he immediately experienced the meaning of "one step to heaven, one step to hell." His path was blocked, the ground glowed, and mist billowed around him, causing him to lose sight of his granddaughter. "Daoist master, my apologies, this is a domain I comprehended from Mount Tai. It changes constantly, and yes, I can control it. Feel free to study it at your leisure."

As the mischievous young girl went up the mountain and the old Daoist priest was blocked, he said, "Brat, let me in too! Your Daoist master simply wishes to pay respects to the mountain. I heard this is a Taoist holy land, and I'd like to offer some incense."

"Daoist master, you are an extraterrestrial, after all, having traveled billions of miles. You should have a grander vision! How about we wipe the slate clean regarding our past grievances? In the future, we can cooperate to conquer the world's famous mountains and collectively plunder other extraterrestrials. Your cultivation is high, and I am a domain researcher; it would be mutually beneficial for us to join forces." The more the old Daoist priest listened, the more unpleasant it sounded. Being called an "extraterrestrial" felt awkward no matter how he heard it.

"Stop your nonsense, let me in!" the old Daoist priest continued to threaten.

Chu Feng chuckled, "Since that's the case, I won't hold back. Daoist master, today I'm going to plunder you first. There's no choice; your hostility towards me is too strong, and your granddaughter is in my hands. Hand over all your valuable treasures and throw them up the mountain. Otherwise, I might just take advantage of your granddaughter."

"Brat, you dare to plunder *me*?!" The old Daoist priest shrieked in fury.

Meanwhile, on the mountain, his young granddaughter showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she excitedly called out, "Brother Chu Feng, hurry up and plunder him! I promise I won't run away!"

"You little fiend, are you trying to drive me mad?" the old Daoist priest shrieked, truly exasperated.

Chu Feng, of course, had no intention of harming the mischievous young girl. On the contrary, they conversed animatedly while watching the old Daoist priest below attempt to force his way into the domain. Then, *woof, woof, woof*... dog barks echoed. As the old Daoist priest channeled his energy, incessant dog barks erupted from his backside. When that sound emerged, the old Daoist priest was so incensed he wanted to kill.

"This is truly..." Chu Feng was at a loss for words.

"Brother Chu Feng, this symptom can be resolved," the young "demoness" said. "Once your domain mastery is profound enough, you can help my grandfather remove this nuisance." The young demoness wasn't heartless; she genuinely thought of her grandfather in crucial moments.

Ultimately, the old Daoist priest was unable to ascend the mountain, while the mischievous young girl had a wonderful time there, staying for two or three days.

Soon after, representatives from Bodhi Gene arrived. The centenarian monk presented Chu Feng with a book of silver pages, explaining it was a prized possession of Bodhi Gene: a complete domain inheritance scripture. Chu Feng was deeply moved. This was something he had yearned for; mastering such a book would enable him to unlock the secrets of various famous mountains.

"There's also a letter for you from Jiang Luoshen, inviting you to Mount Putuo," Master Qianjia said. Ultimately, Jiang Luoshen did not come in person, but sent a letter instead. Subsequently, representatives from Godly Biology also arrived, bringing a letter from Lin Nuoyi, inviting him to Mount Lao.

On the same day, something occurred in space. Several probes captured images from deep space, showing several streaks of light approaching. Finally, outer space probes clearly captured the actual scene: several luminous beings appeared in the void just outside Earth. The Descendants, the extraterrestrials, had arrived! When the images were transmitted back, it sent shockwaves through many people.
