Chapter 521: Enmity with the Fairy

The vast universe holds many brilliant civilizations. Yet, compared to the immense and dark cosmos, life still appears insignificant. Life-bearing planets are scattered throughout the cold, silent universe, like a few grains of sand in the ocean.

At this moment, eight celestial steeds, perfectly flawless, appeared. Their manes were long, some like golden flames, others shimmering purple, and some radiating silvery white. They had not a single stray hair and were slightly adorned with dragon scales.

Dragon-scale celestial steeds are the most supreme mounts in the universe, truly capable of traversing the stars and crossing different galaxies. Normally, even seeing one is extraordinary, but today, eight of them appeared, pulling a grand carriage through space outside Earth.

Clearly, anyone possessing such a conveyance must be at least a Sub-Saint level figure or higher!

Though the eight dragon-scale celestial steeds could traverse space, they didn't necessarily need to cross boundless dark voids. Instead, they were using established wormhole ancient paths.

As they passed Earth, the eight dragon-scale celestial steeds, about to speed away with the carriage, suddenly halted before a wormhole. Then, to everyone's surprise, they turned back and approached Earth.

From inside the carriage, a voice resonated: "This planet, once ranked eleventh, was glorious. A golden invitation should be left here. Recently, a Chosen One has emerged from this place, whose energy form ranked among the top two hundred on the Dark Horse List. They are certainly qualified." Following the voice, a golden light flew out, entering Earth and heading directly towards the East Sea.

"A meteor!" many exclaimed in the East Sea. Chu Feng looked up, then sensed something was off. He activated his Fiery Golden Eyes and saw that the dazzling meteor streaking towards the sea surface was actually a sheet of paper, coming directly for him. He eventually caught it, a puzzled expression on his face. Using his light-brain to scan the universal script on it, he deciphered its meaning: it was an astonishingly crafted invitation.

"A golden invitation from the Grand Dream Pure Land!" Zi Luan exclaimed beside him. "The Grand Dream Pure Land, whose ruled planets are ranked among the top twenty in the universe?" Chu Feng questioned, filled with doubt and surprise.

Then, he noticed a group of captives, even those divine sons and others he had suppressed, now staring at him with envious and jealous gazes.

The invitation, forged from special materials, was entirely golden, tough, and sturdy, indicating a highly significant origin.

"They actually invited him!" At that moment, even on the Primordial Beast Platform in the starry sky, many people were astonished, letting out cries of surprise.

On Earth, in the East Sea, at Chu Feng's insistence, Zi Luan revealed the full details.

Every so often, the Grand Dream Pure Land sends out a limited number of golden invitations, targeting the most exceptional young talents in the universe.

Sometimes, there are only a hundred such invitations, meaning only the strongest inheritors from the top one hundred planets qualify. Even when more are issued, the number never exceeds five hundred, making them exceptionally rare and precious.

Chu Feng was suspicious. What did the Grand Dream Pure Land want with young geniuses by inviting them this way?

"Within the Grand Dream Pure Land lies an ancient hall imbued with immortal energy, called the Hall of Eternity," Zi Luan explained. "There are opportunities there, but for some unknown reason, they are only effective for those under thirty years old."

The Hall of Eternity is quite special. Many brilliant talents gather there to collectively enter a dream state, where great fortuitous encounters occur.

Some awaken from a dream to find their years of cultivation within the dream were incredibly real, adding many years to their cultivation base. It is said that some can dream for a decade, while others gain enlightenment for a century in their dreams.

This is truly a shortcut to evolution; a single night's slumber could potentially yield a decade or even a century of cultivation. It's simply incredible and astounding.

However, regardless of how many attend, only two or three individuals ultimately receive this special opportunity each time.

"What a place!" Chu Feng exclaimed, holding the golden invitation with immense joy. If he truly had the chance to enter, he certainly wouldn't miss it. His cultivation could surge overnight, akin to ascending to heaven in a single step and experiencing a myth.

At the same time, this also serves as a method for the Grand Dream Pure Land to select a cultivation partner for their strongest inheritor. Those chosen could become cultivation partners of the Grand Dream Pure Land's Saintess.

On the Primordial Beast Platform, many people envied Chu Feng and discussed the matter animatedly.

"Even the top ten, the most powerful prodigies, wouldn't refuse this," someone commented. "They would willingly enter the Grand Dream Pure Land. If they could gain a century of enlightenment overnight, it would allow them to outshine their peers. Who could resist such a temptation?"

"What's the name of the current Saintess of the Grand Dream Pure Land? Qin Luoyin, I think?" Chu Feng asked Zi Luan beside him. "Yes," Zi Luan introduced reluctantly, muttering softly, "her fame is immense. She cultivates through dreams, her power is terrifying, surpassing previous generations of prodigies in their youth. She can easily kill people through dream infiltration, making her impossible to guard against."

This Qin Luoyin was extremely famous, considered one of the most beautiful women under the starry sky, ranked among the Nine Beauties by gossips.

"So, I might become the son-in-law of the Grand Dream Pure Land and form a cultivation partnership with Qin Luoyin?!" Chu Feng's expression changed.

Around him, dozens of divine sons and saintesses, despite their jealousy and reluctance to admit it, had to concede silently that it was not impossible.

Among those invited, no one could be sure who the ultimate recipient would be. The opportunity to gain a century of enlightenment overnight sometimes didn't fall to the Dao children from the top ten stellar worlds.

"The Grand Dream Pure Land only sends out golden invitations once every few millennia," someone in the starry sky sighed. "That hall is extremely difficult to open. The long interval makes the invitation even more precious, with geniuses from all sides desperate to obtain one."

The number of invited individuals each time is not large, meaning those fortunate enough to hold a golden invitation have a considerable chance of gaining a century of enlightenment and even forming a cultivation partnership with Qin Luoyin.

However, it wasn't long before a piece of news spread. Qin Luoyin herself personally declared Chu Feng's golden invitation void, announcing his disqualification and denying him this opportunity.

This incident immediately exploded on the Primordial Beast Platform, causing an uproar.

Chu Feng, with his light-brain, naturally kept abreast of events in the starry sky. He was instantly stunned, his face stiffening.

He saw on the Primordial Beast Platform that the news was true: Qin Luoyin refused his presence and personally stated that Chu Feng's golden invitation was canceled, doing so quite decisively.

Chu Feng's face turned dark and sullen. What was this situation? It was a complete humiliation!

In truth, he had initially been delighted, drawn by the prospect of a century of enlightenment in a single night. However, after calming down, he realized it was a castles in the air scenario; for him, it was merely wishful thinking, as he had no way of getting close.

Because if he were to truly appear in the Grand Dream Pure Land, he would likely be targeted by some old monsters and then suppressed or killed immediately!

Therefore, he had already shaken his head, knowing that place was inaccessible. He planned to find an opportunity to thank the Grand Dream Pure Land for their kindness and return the invitation.

However, he never expected that the Grand Dream Pure Land had just sent him a golden invitation, only for the Saintess of that very lineage to so decisively reject him, showing no mercy and inflicting great shame.

"Haha, this devil was rejected!" someone scoffed. "He won't even get to meet Fairy Qin Luoyin, let alone enter the Grand Dream Pure Land." Another added, "Saintess Qin Luoyin must be intentionally dealing with him. First, she had an invitation sent, then rejected him decisively, thoroughly shaming him and trampling him underfoot. What a personality!"

In the starry sky, there was no shortage of adversaries mocking Chu Feng. Given that he had hunted divine sons and saintesses from various factions, their corresponding evolutionist sects naturally harbored no goodwill towards him and were now all gloating.

Chu Feng originally had no particular feelings about the Grand Dream Pure Land, but now his expression was far from pleasant. A strong urge seized him: to step into the starry sky, infiltrate the Hall of Eternity, and seize that opportunity for a century of enlightenment in one night.

"Let's see if there's a way to make this happen!" Chu Feng fumed inwardly. What method could he use to enter the starry sky undetected and then infiltrate the Grand Dream Pure Land without being discovered?

He didn't give up immediately; instead, he genuinely started to ponder.

"That girl who likes to daydream, just you wait!" Chu Feng declared. No one believed he would actually dare to enter the starry sky; they unanimously thought he was just making empty threats to save face, but would never act on them.

The truth was, Chu Feng was starting to genuinely long to enter the starry sky.

He finally understood why the people from the top ten hadn't arrived, and why the strongest Dao children and top prodigies hadn't appeared: because there were even more astonishing opportunities in the universe.

Gaining a century of enlightenment from a single night's sleep seemed like an Arabian Nights tale, yet it truly existed. Just imagine, which peerless genius would want to miss such a chance?

He then inquired further, secretly asking Zi Luan and searching his light-brain for similar opportunities.

"I've heard that some of the Dao children from the top ten have recently been campaigning in Hell," someone on the Primordial Beast Platform remarked, which happened to catch Chu Feng's interest. "Oh, and Miss Qin Luoyin just returned from Hell too."

Through his inquiries, he understood what kind of place it was.

Hell, the creatures within were terrifying. Even just the first layer was considered a forbidden zone. It contained black ants that typically moved in swarms, capable of devouring Golden-Bodied Arhats. However, a certain substance they secreted was a sacred evolution product, capable of granting immense benefits.

"Hell is too dangerous," someone warned. "Even the Dao children of invincible races entering Hell have protectors accompanying them, otherwise, accidents are very likely, and they could die there."

Chu Feng searched his light-brain and discovered other similar places deep in the universe, known as God's Forbidden Zones. While extremely dangerous, they held astonishing great fortunes.

It was said that figures like the Young God of the Celestial Race and Ying Wudi had all frequented these places in search of opportunities.

Even the divine son of the Xilin Race had begun his return journey from such a region, having been ordered by Wei Heng to kill Chu Feng.

It was on this very day that Chu Feng's heart was stirred. He yearned to enter the starry sky; he wanted to contend for the opportunities on Earth, and he also desired to set foot in those secret lands in the cosmos.

On Earth, in the East Sea, Chu Feng waited outside the cave for a long time. Eventually, even Li Feng and Yuan Mo emerged, but there was no sign of Lan Shi. After interrogating others, he confirmed that Lan Shi was very shrewd and alert, and had not come to this place.

Then, Chu Feng began his great harvest, obtaining the Nine Forms of Heavenly Halberd and the Myriad Star Gourd, which he had confiscated from Fu Huang and Xu Liang of the Great Xu Dynasty.

The Myriad Star Gourd was incredibly useful, even beloved by powerful cultivators in the evolution realm, as it was a treasure-grade divine item.

Currently, the Myriad Star Gourd had not been harvested; instead, Fu Huang and Xu Liang had dug it up whole, still attached to its vine. They intended to take it off Earth and transplant it deep into the star sea.

"If this gourd matures, even Saints would be tempted!" Zi Luan's big eyes shone with immense excitement as she told Chu Feng.

However, Chu Feng was somewhat distracted. He was contemplating kidnapping divine sons for ransom, selling saintesses to accumulate cosmic currency, and then finding a safe way to enter the starry sky. He was truly moved by the idea!
