Chapter 433: Big Loser

By the Wei River, vast wetlands stretched, and large lakes connected, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Chu Feng's expression was grim, and he remained silent.

Penglai had indeed taken that step. Hearing the news of the pure-blooded direct descendant, their reaction was overly aggressive. Instead of considering allegiance, they intended to capture and kill immediately!

The ancient times were long past, and Penglai no longer had the sense of belonging it once did. If they were indifferent, Chu Feng could accept it, without strictly demanding anything from them.

The two sides could have simply lived out their days without interaction, ignoring each other.

However, that was not the case. The Penglai remnants clearly remembered everything. Now, claiming to be the orthodox lineage, their reaction after receiving news of the pure-blooded direct descendant was terrifying: they intended to capture and kill them!

Such a stance and action chilled one's heart, followed by anger. They had not only betrayed their former agreement, but also sought to eliminate the descendants of their former master.

A flame of rage burned in Chu Feng's chest. He truly held no goodwill toward the Penglai remnants, something that was evident from the behavior of the young master of the Chen family lineage.

Chen Sheng had sent his servants to drive a chariot and brazenly summon Chu Feng, threatening to kill him if he refused. How domineering and arrogant that was.

Now, as they claimed to be the orthodox lineage of Earth, it wasn't that they had forgotten the old matters, but rather that they were trying to conceal them.

Chu Feng sighed. There were some things he wouldn't have pressed for.

Time flowed on, and everything would change.

Beautiful faces would age, elegant hair would turn frosty, luminous complexions would lose their glow, becoming increasingly wrinkled. Youth, in the end, could not be held onto; it would transform into a weathered old woman. Even stars would dim, eventually perishing to become cosmic dust.

How much more so for the human heart, which was the easiest to change.

But the Penglai remnants were going too far. At worst, the two sides could simply sever ties. Yet, for the sake of their own perceived orthodoxy, they actually wanted to kill the pure-blooded direct descendants!

A surge of hot blood and anger coursed through Chu Feng, making him wish he could immediately storm Penglai Island overseas.

But in the end, he shook his head, thinking, "Those whose paths diverge cannot plan together. Let us go our separate ways!"

However, given the current mindset of the Penglai remnants, it was unlikely they would give up.

If they dared to provoke him again, he would kill them with all his might, ceaselessly, until death. There was no talk of being cold-blooded or cruel; since they chose to be adversaries and enemies, then let them fight!

The two Penglai Taoists were strong, but among their belongings, only the purple flying boat was decent.

Chu Feng's right palm glowed, flames spread, turning the marks on the ground to ash. With a gentle wave of his hand, a strong wind howled, leaving nothing behind. He turned and left.

"The Taoist Capital — Dragon Tiger Mountain!"

Chu Feng was going to Dragon Tiger Mountain. That place was extremely mysterious, and there was a woman of immense background there. He had many things he wanted to ask about.

As Chu Feng revealed his whereabouts, it was unlikely he could travel quietly.

Along the way, various individuals were looking for him.

As he traveled southeast, he was finally spotted by someone on the road, who called out loudly, asking him to slow down.

It was no longer uncommon for extraterrestrial beings to walk among the famous mountains and great rivers, because with the revival of the renowned mountains and the evolution of terrestrial life, more and more arrivals from the star paths were able to come.

This was a creature with silver horns on its head, strangely shaped, with a humanoid body. It enthusiastically tried to get close to Chu Feng. Now, everyone from outside the domain knew that he was the chosen one among the natives.

The silver-horned strange person stated his purpose: he was friends with Huang Tong and asked Chu Feng to wait a moment, as Huang Tong was catching up from behind, but even at full speed, he couldn't match Chu Feng's pace.

"Are you all accustomed to using an Earth communication device?" Chu Feng's perspective on the matter was somewhat unique, causing the silver-horned man to stare blankly.

"Accus...tomed."

Chu Feng paused, not rushing to leave. He had a good impression of Huang Tong; the two bottles of alien fine wine he had received were indeed treasures, leaving an endless aftertaste.

"Brother Chu Feng, you're truly as swift as the wind and lightning, leaving no trace along your way."

Huang Tong was so exhausted he was almost collapsing, like an old yellow dog, his tongue hanging out, panting heavily. He had the face of a lion and the body of a human, and his current appearance looked a bit comical.

Besides him, there was a large group of aliens who had caught up from behind, all looking for Chu Feng, inviting him to meet with the powerful individuals behind them.

Currently, on the star paths behind any famous mountain, there were powerful experts stationed. Some star paths even saw several transcendent forces converging.

"Brother, you promised me a long time ago, but you've repeatedly stood me up. It looks like you're heading southeast, so please come with me to Mount Lu to meet the Golden Divine Son."

Huang Tong bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, adopting a very humble posture, imploring Chu Feng to grant them an audience.

"Brother Huang, don't be so polite, you're treating me like a stranger. Let's go, I'll accompany you to Mount Lu to demand... er, to meet the Golden Divine Son."

Chu Feng spoke smoothly, almost letting something slip.

Recently, both at Mount Yandang and Mount Hua, he had met with the two Saintesses, Yang Shan and Hu Ruoxian, multiple times, gaining benefits until his hands were sore.

Now, he was almost under the illusion that the divine sons and saintesses from outside the domain were like boys who scattered wealth, believing that he could demand benefits simply by meeting them.

The surrounding arrivals were speechless. "Can't you be less direct?" they seemed to think. "Even if you covet secret treasures or scriptures, you should be more subtle."

"Brother Chu, please!" Huang Tong laughed heartily and invited him to set off.

This large group of beings had varied forms, as they came from different star domains. Moreover, relative to Earth's current evolutionary level, they were all great masters.

Once they started moving, the commotion was truly immense.

For instance, there was a golden elephant whose steps caused the very mountains to crumble, yet it could also fly across wide rivers.

"Brother Chu, you should pay attention to this clan; they are not simple. Have you heard of a 'fragrant elephant crossing a river'? Once they reach the Great Perfection Divine Body realm, their entire body becomes as white as jade. Such a creature, with a graceful leap, can traverse a star river. It is truly an unparalleled movement technique," Huang Tong explained from the side.

Chu Feng listened, dumbfounded. "It can be explained like that?!" Some Earth terms were practically being overturned.

"Indeed, the main lineage of this clan possesses pure divine blood, and they have good relations with the Buddhist Bodhisattvas and others. No one dares to easily provoke them," Huang Tong further informed him.

Now, the Earth language spoken by these extraterrestrial beings was becoming increasingly fluent. Some could even cite classics and scriptures, communicating without any hindrance.

Chu Feng had a good impression of Huang Tong. The last time he went to Mount Hua to eliminate the Penglai young master's subordinates, it was Huang Tong who incited it, leading a large number of aliens to rush there. With a barrage of energy attacks, they sent those people to their demise.

Rumbles!

The group of beings with different forms were extremely fast. The ground trembled beneath their feet. They passed through Shaanxi, crossed Hubei, and went straight to Jiangxi, approaching their destination.

Mount Lu, renowned as one of China's Ten Great Mountains, and also a member of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains, boasted boundless fame.

Currently, there was not just one star path here, but multiple, connecting to several different star systems. One could imagine how glorious this place must have been in ancient times.

The group entered the mountains, a mighty procession.

Chu Feng clearly remembered that originally there was an old tree here that could bear form-transforming fruits, respected by unusual beings. Now it was gone. It was said to have gone wandering with the ancient Dahongpao tea tree from Mount Wuyi and the main root of the Longjing tea tree from West Lake.

Whenever he thought of this, he would show a strange expression. The famous old tea trees of yesteryear had all become spirits!

In the mountains, misty vapor swirled, and the energy essence was exceptionally rich.

Some peaks rose from the ground, piercing the sky, like divine swords reaching heaven. Others were immensely majestic, entirely composed of brown rock, with sparse old trees, resembling a savage dragon transformed and lying dormant.

Still other peaks were enveloped in clouds and vibrant mists, with the fragrant scent of herbs, and auspicious birds circling, like an immortal realm.

Furthermore, in some areas, after the world's great change, waterfalls cascaded in sheets, hanging thousands of feet high, extremely magnificent.

The beautiful scenery was abundant and unique, truly deserving its renown alongside Mount Huang and Mount Yandang.

Along the way, Chu Feng had already seen two folded spaces connected by star paths from afar, but these were not where the Golden Divine Son was located; he had to go further.

"We're almost there," Huang Tong introduced.

Finally, they drew near. The area ahead was exceedingly magnificent, with grand and crystalline mountains, purple qi swirling, ancient pines and herbs growing in clusters, and silver waterfalls cascading one after another.

"What a big wild duck! It must be delicious roasted!" Chu Feng pointed ahead.

Near that folded space, on an auspiciously vibrant peak, a large white bird was dancing, its posture graceful, and clouds and mist billowed there too.

Huang Tong seemed a bit embarrassed, saying, "That's not a wild duck. She is the Divine Son's maidservant, the Swan Fairy."

The group around looked at Chu Feng, all speechless.

Indeed, the graceful white swan transformed into a woman, clear and captivating, descending along the waterfall. With silver hair and beautiful eyes, skin like frozen cream, she drifted gently, radiating an ethereal aura.

"Greetings, everyone!" she introduced herself, her name was Bai Qing.

She smiled sweetly, graceful and gentle, saying, "Greetings, Brother Chu. The Divine Son has been awaiting your esteemed presence for a long time."

Then, she looked at the large group of arrivals, with a friendly smile, saying, "Everyone, please pause here for a moment."

Even Huang Tong stopped very consciously. He wore an embarrassed expression, saying, "Brother Chu, I won't go in. Please go and speak with my Divine Son." Then, he winked, saying, "His Royal Highness, the Golden Divine Son, is most generous and willing to make friends. If Brother Chu lacks suitable secret treasures, you can mention it to the Divine Son."

Everyone present showed a strange look. "Is this guy secretly helping an outsider?" they wondered. He had formed an intimate friendship with the chosen one among the natives!

Chu Feng smiled and nodded, then followed Bai Qing inward.

"Hmm, are there several star paths in just this area?" Chu Feng was surprised. This area was indeed extraordinary with its beautiful scenery and luminous mountains, but the star paths were truly dense!

Not far away, in a mountainous area, the aura emanating from a folded space was grand, even majestic, indicating the presence of powerful beings.

Chu Feng was stunned. As he looked up, he saw a woman, exceedingly beautiful, rarely seen in the world. She was a beauty on par with Lin Yaoyi and Jiang Luoshen.

He recognized her; it was an acquaintance, Princess Lin, from the Arctic Primal Magnetic Immortal Cave.

In that folded space, there was a contingent of people with powerful and intimidating auras. It was evident at a glance that they had significant backgrounds. Among them, two individuals were revered: a young man and an elder. Their statuses were similar, and they were playing a game of Go under an ancient pine tree.

Only these two were seated cross-legged; others stood at a distance.

Near them, two maidservants stood, responsible for pouring tea and other duties.

Princess Lin was also nearby, but she too was standing, without a seat, displaying a hint of deference.

Chu Feng showed a strange expression. He had long known that neither the people from the old Qilin Nest of Dayeze nor the arrivals from the Arctic Primal Magnetic Immortal Cave were ultimately powerful. They lacked the heritage of a holy land and had no divine son-level figures stationed there. They had always wanted to find a patron, to pledge allegiance to evolutionary imperial dynasties and the like.

For instance, Han Ze, Huang Weiyue, and others wanted to persuade Lin Yaoyi to pledge allegiance to Qi Yu, the Grand Qi Imperial Prince who used the Mount Lao star path.

It now appeared that Qi Lin also represented some of the people from the Primal Magnetic Immortal Cave in making a choice. Her presence here indicated a decision had been made. Judging by her gaze, was she planning to pledge allegiance to that young Saint Son?

Qi Lin looked up and also saw Chu Feng, instantly showing a surprised expression, wanting to open her mouth to say something.

"Hmm, don't meddle. Just observe." At this moment, the young man who was playing Go used a spiritual transmission, warning her not to speak too much.

Princess Lin knew well that this place was very complex. She wanted to warn Chu Feng, but after hearing the Saint Son's spiritual transmission, she fell silent.

Thinking about it carefully, she had once lost a bet to Chu Feng, and now wanted to give him a reminder, but was warned in this manner.

She sighed softly. What if the chosen one among the natives was incredibly strong and defied heaven? He still couldn't contend with the divine sons from outside the domain. Although she couldn't warn him and felt a bit guilty, she thought that she hadn't actually harmed him, which eased her guilt somewhat. At the same time, she felt she had no other choice now.

Overall, she didn't have high hopes for Chu Feng. Even though he was the chosen one among the natives and they had a certain acquaintance, she couldn't impulsively choose to stand with him.

"Where is that contingent from?" Chu Feng asked Bai Qing about the background of the young man playing Go and the force behind him.

"He is very mysterious and extremely powerful. I imagine he must be a divinely gifted son of exceptionally transcendent status from some lineage," Bai Qing replied.

Soon, Chu Feng saw another star path on the other side. In that folded space, a woman smiled sweetly, her bright eyes captivating, quite charming and enchanting.

However, when her smile faded, there was a hint of killing intent. This young woman was not ordinary. Undoubtedly, the people from this star path were also extraordinary.

Currently, only that woman sat quietly, surrounded by powerful individuals.

Chu Feng was also surprised to see the Peacock King and Nine-Lives Cat King standing there very submissively, showing immense respect to the woman.

"She should be a Saintess of the Demon Race," Bai Qing informed him.

After seeing Chu Feng, the Peacock King and Nine-Lives Cat King both showed strange expressions, but said nothing, simply watching him walk quietly.

Chu Feng frowned. He suddenly turned his head, looking back the way he came, only to find white mist gradually rising, making the area mysterious.

"Brother Chu, please. My master, Saint Son Baihua, has been waiting for a long time," Bai Qing said with a smile.

Chu Feng's expression immediately changed. He lunged to grab her, but she transformed into shattered light and simply vanished.

"Huang Tong, get out here!" Chu Feng shouted.

He knew that there had been no so-called Golden Divine Son here from beginning to end, but rather someone else.

Huang Tong's voice came from afar, saying, "Brother Chu, I was wrong about this. Please bear with it. This time next year, I'll burn paper money for you, and you can sprinkle two bottles of fine wine in front of your grave."

"Get lost!" Chu Feng was furious. He truly hadn't expected Huang Tong to be such a treacherous schemer.

However, after a moment of calm, he was fearless. "Whatever comes, let it come! I will kill them all!"
