Chapter 598: A Journey to the Land of Rebirth

The mountain and river map on the stone surface of the stone box depicted a magnificent and grand terrain.

Initially, Chu Feng didn't notice anything, but after careful observation, he was startled and completely stunned. For a moment, he even began to doubt life itself.

From the perspective of a domain researcher, this terrain was incredibly profound, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and nurturing an ancient and unprecedented strangeness!

For example, in one corner, he saw a "Prostrate Phoenix" terrain. It resembled a true phoenix lying there, struggling to lay an egg, but it conflicted with the terrain and died, leaving behind an immortal egg.

This kind of terrain was incredibly extraordinary. With an immortal bird dying within it, there should have been overwhelming resentment and death energy. Yet, a new life-form, awaiting nirvana and rebirth, was imbued with vibrant vitality.

That piece of terrain was exceptionally complex. It would require deep contemplation to understand even a little. In a short time, even Chu Feng, already a master of domains, couldn't fully comprehend it.

The "Prostrate Phoenix" terrain was merely a corner of that stone surface on the stone box. Relatively, there were still vast areas of mountains and rivers, and their configurations were rarely seen throughout history.

For example, Chu Feng casually looked at another corner, where there was a fiery cave. However, after he gazed carefully, he realized it wasn't a mere cave; combined with the surrounding topography, it was the true Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace!

Chu Feng was greatly shocked. No one knew better than him how extraordinary this was!

What was the Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace? It could forge ultimate weapons and cultivate immortal medicines; it was truly a place that seized the creations of heaven and earth!

How did Chu Feng get his Fiery Golden Eyes? They were awakened in a small, imitation Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace!

At Zijin Mountain in Jiangning, there was a small, artificially arranged furnace that Chu Feng had earlier called the Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace. But he knew it was just a counterfeit, artificially set up, and very small in scale.

Compared to this genuine Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, it differed by many orders of magnitude; they were not even on the same level!

He casually glanced twice and saw these two kinds of terrain. How could Chu Feng not be astonished? Because any such true ultimate terrain was legendary and simply not seen in reality.

Once such a terrain was formed, the planet it was on would be indestructible through countless eons. It would foster supreme opportunities or strangeness, making it unfathomable.

And Chu Feng actually saw these two ultimate terrains simultaneously in two corners of a single mountain range. How could this not shock him?!

One must know, even the Saint Master, who left so many domain books and supreme inheritances like silver paper on the Moon, only briefly mentioned those ultimate terrains without elaborating much.

It was imaginable that even the Saint Master would be astonished if he came!

Then, out of curiosity, Chu Feng took another look. In an adjacent area, he successively discovered an "Immortal Punishing" terrain and a corpse-raising ground, which sent shivers down his spine.

The stone surface on the stone box was simply too extraordinary. A casual glance would reveal a unique and terrifying terrain; it truly could astonish ancient and modern times.

Such a small stone surface, yet the mountains and rivers on it were so terrifying. How many ultimate terrains did it actually contain?

Moreover, these ultimate terrains were all together, within the same diagram!

Chu Feng looked a few more times. Some of the terrains, he simply couldn't understand. With his current domain mastery, let alone deciphering them, he couldn't even recognize them.

Not to mention the central areas, even the slightly inner regions left him bewildered. He knew they were extraordinary, very unusual, and ultimate terrains, but he just couldn't identify them.

Chu Feng gasped. He had originally paid no attention to the mountain and river map on the stone surface of the stone box, only focusing on the tadpole-like patterns. Now, he was utterly stunned.

To call this so-called mountain and river map "extraordinary" was an understatement!

He was still doubting life, wondering if what he saw was real. Could such a place exist in the world? He estimated that even the top ten star worlds would never have such topography!

In fact, he believed that it would be difficult for any place in the universe to have more than two ultimate terrains simultaneously; they should be separate.

The dozens of extraordinary golden symbols from the grinding disc now appeared on the stone box. Coupled with this mountain and river map, it sent shivers down Chu Feng's spine. He realized for the first time that the stone box was far more important and mysterious than he had imagined!

It was a long time before Chu Feng recovered his senses.

Then, reality once again taught and reminded him how miserable his current situation was.

The huge stone grinding disc rotated, each time crushing hundreds of thousands to millions of corpses. Chu Feng was carried along, revolving on it, witnessing the entire process firsthand in close proximity. Only a layer of light membrane separated him, and the psychological trauma was immeasurable.

Finally, millions of corpses were ground into bloody mud, turning into thick liquid that flowed out along the edge of the grinding disc. Chu Feng also fell with it.

With a splash, he landed below as if diving, and for a moment, "muddy water" splattered everywhere. The sensation was horrifying beyond words; even someone with the strongest nerves would feel like retching.

This place was like a lake of corpse mud and blood plasma. Then, he saw these substances decomposing, transforming into incredibly rich energy that diffused into the surroundings.

Chu Feng was utterly bewildered. "Was the energy he usually absorbed derived from this?" he wondered, telling himself, "Impossible!" Otherwise, he would feel even more like vomiting.

Finally, he drifted until he reached a place where the blood had dried up. One after another, spiritual seeds emerged, completely blank inside, without any imprints.

After being crushed by the grinding disc, the spiritual imprints, indestructible obsessions, or overwhelming resentments remaining in these corpses were all completely purified.

It was as if a hard drive had been formatted, leaving nothing behind!

Then, Chu Feng saw many phantoms, all spiritual bodies like souls leaving their bodies. They were bewildered and ignorant, walking in one direction.

In one direction from the grinding disc, there was an ancient path. It was quiet and eerie, drawing all the spiritual bodies forward, as if summoning them to reincarnate.

"Don't tell me, there's really reincarnation in this world, truly rebirth?!" Chu Feng had never believed this, but his current experience was somewhat subverting his worldview.

Especially since he had personally witnessed the grinding disc's operation, it was practically a precise and magnificent instrument performing the functions of the underworld.

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and followed these spiritual bodies forward, wanting to see where they were going and how they would reincarnate!

"Since I've already come this far, a few more steps won't hurt," he convinced himself.

His curiosity was simply too great, because this was no ordinary small secret. It was the ultimate mystery of life that humanity and all beings had doubted and debated since ancient times!

And by simply walking along this path, he could gain insight. So Chu Feng couldn't resist, unable to suppress his desire for novelty.

He set off with them. Among a bewildered crowd of spiritual bodies that had lost their will and imprints, he was unique, the only living being with flesh and blood, mixed in among them.

This ancient path was very long. Passing through a place resembling a realm gate, it felt like entering another world.

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and finally followed them in!

Where was this? He looked around. The world was hazy and gray; he couldn't see the sun or the earth. They seemed to be treading on a layer of dimly colored energy matter.

He looked back to see a long line of countless spiritual bodies behind him. Looking forward, he also couldn't see the end. It was like an army of the reborn, queuing and advancing towards their fated destination.

This was truly bizarre! Chu Feng felt a chill.

However, on second thought, he was indeed mingling among a crowd of ghosts. And they were queuing to head towards a predetermined fate.

"Thump!"

He felt something hit him from behind, very forcefully, making him stumble. He turned around and saw a monster with nine wide-open mouths, looking terrifying. It was a spiritual entity, without flesh and blood, and very ferocious.

Chu Feng was deeply surprised. He felt that this monster was not simple; it still retained a faint spiritual essence. It had no memories, only its ferocity remained.

It could only be said that this creature was extremely fierce in life, and remained so after death. However, he had never seen this race before; its nine mouths were spread across its body, not on nine separate heads.

Chu Feng glared and said, "Why are you so fierce, bumping into me? Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?!"

Then, he himself was speechless. This thing actually seemed to be in a hurry to reincarnate.

"Do you know you have to queue?" Chu Feng squinted at it. Fortunately, this monster had no true consciousness, only some lingering instincts. It was clear at a glance that it had been incredibly fierce in life.

Passing through this hazy gray area, Chu Feng followed this dragon-like army of spiritual bodies. As they walked, they actually entered a starry sky.

This made him stunned. "Are they really going to reincarnate?"

Looking up, he saw countless stars. Looking around, it was utterly empty; occasionally, he saw floating meteorites. This group of spiritual souls, with their team alone numbering millions, was truly eerie.

"Where were they going?" Chu Feng remained silent and just followed.

He felt that he should still be able to find his way back. Because beneath their feet, it wasn't entirely void, but a path paved with black stones. It had many corpse-stain-like bloodstains, very eerie and slightly sinister.

A group of the dead, a group of formatted souls, vast and magnificent, thus traversed the starry sky, heading all the way to an unknown place.

This was a predetermined path, their fated journey. Chu Feng increasingly wanted to see what it was all about: how would they reincarnate, how would they be reborn, and where was the ultimate destination?

"Is this really the path of reincarnation?" Subsequently, Chu Feng grew a little suspicious, especially since he had seen the starry sky.

However, the huge stone grinding disc he had seen earlier presented a very eerie scene, as it seemed to be executing orders for reincarnation and sending people to be reborn.

For a moment, he felt a bit confused.

Was it a true path to reincarnation, or was it artificially controlled?

If it was the latter, it would be even more terrifying.

"This group of dead bodies has been formatted, and I'm the only one alive. Being so unusual, I hope nothing strange happens later."

Chu Feng's thoughts ran wild. He wasn't entirely sure what would happen next.

But since he had already set off, he had no choice.

Then, an idea struck Chu Feng: "Is this the real starry sky? Or is it the universe he was originally from? If so, he might be able to call the Tongtian Express Company and have them package him up and mail him back to Earth."

"First, I'll go to the ultimate destination of rebirth and see exactly how one reincarnates!"
