Chapter 675: Yang Realm Breathing Technique

"A Cosmic Ranking for Young Geniuses?" Chu Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought for a moment.

Girlie Xi blinked her large eyes, feeling a bit curious. What kind of ranking was this? It actually originated from a shattered universe within the chaos. Who was participating?

She strongly suspected that the so-called shattered universe in the chaos was merely a buffer zone between the Yang World and the Underworld. If she could break through it, she might be able to return home.

"I want to become the strongest in the world! I want to go home! I want to return to the Yang World!" Girlie Xi exclaimed.

"Child, you don't have a fever, do you? If you truly reveal yourself, it would be suicide!" Chu Feng touched her forehead, then quickly pulled his hand away. "Damn, your forehead is scorching hot! It nearly burned my hand off. You definitely have a high fever!"

Girlie Xi's face darkened. Gritting her teeth, she retorted, "You're the one with a fever! I'm cold, okay? I'm from the Yang World. How could I be as icy cold as you? My temperature is already below normal!"

She then felt disheartened. This world might contain one or two exceptionally powerful beings whose strength could barely open a small rift to the Yang World, allowing her to return. However, she dared not show herself; once her identity was exposed, she estimated that all the "ghosts" in the Underworld would try to capture her.

By the stream, Chu Feng hunted a small deer. After skinning and cleaning it, he didn't light a fire but simply motioned to Girlie Xi.

"What do you want?!"

"Lend me your little hand!" Chu Feng very naturally took her fair and slender hand and pressed it onto the deer meat.

"Ah, are you trying to kill me?!" Girlie Xi shrieked, vigorously shaking her hand. She felt extremely uncomfortable looking at the raw, red meat.

Chu Feng remained calm. "Don't hide. Let me taste how delicious wild game cooked with Yang fire is. Anyway, you're constantly emitting heat like a furnace; it would be a shame to waste it."

"Chu Loli, you're provoking me! Do you really want to fight?!" Girlie Xi, humiliated and angry, retorted.

"Come on, who's afraid of whom? Let's fight!" Chu Feng challenged. He genuinely wanted to gauge Girlie Xi's strength and, while he was at it, secretly learn her wondrous techniques by using his stolen breathing technique.

At the same time, he was even more eager to witness a true Yang World breathing technique!

With a hum, the Heavenly Dao Umbrella appeared, resting in front of Chu Feng and slowly rotating. A wisp of chaotic energy descended, causing the entire mountain range to crack and tremble slightly.

In the mountains, some primordial fierce beasts were terrified, trembling and prostrating themselves on the ground, bowing devoutly in that direction.

"Stop, I'm not fighting!" Chu Feng waved his hand. He knew he couldn't afford to provoke this girl from the Yang World.

Only after the Heavenly Dao Umbrella vanished did he shamelessly approach her again. "Actually, I just wanted to see a Yang World breathing technique. Why don't you teach me a bit? Not much, just enough for me to see how extraordinary it is."

Girlie Xi cast him a sidelong glance, her face full of disdain, as if to say she had seen right through him.

Chu Feng said, "Don't glare at me like that. It easily makes me think of someone else, and not in a good way."

"Who?"

"A very narcissistic… toad with golden markings all over its body." After Chu Feng finished speaking, he saw Girlie Xi's delicate, pretty face instantly turn as black as ink, even darker than the big black ox's face. His voice immediately became a little shaky.

"Chu Feng, why don't you just die?!" Girlie Xi exploded, scolding him, "Have you ever seen such a peerlessly charming toad? Bah, bah, bah, what am I saying? I mean, what kind of eyes do you have? You must be the toad yourself! Who wouldn't praise an invincible and adorable beauty like me? I reckon if I entered a beauty contest, I'd easily rank in the top three on the Yang World's divine ranking!"

Chu Feng chuckled awkwardly. "I guess I spoke out of turn. But there really is a toad named Ouyang Feng. He's very narcissistic and always claims to be the most handsome!"

"What do you mean by that? Are you mocking my narcissism? I'll fight you!" Girlie Xi's beautiful face darkened as she completely flared up.

Chu Feng felt guilty, realizing he was only making things worse.

Then, Girlie Xi grabbed Chu Feng. "Come on, didn't you want to see a Yang World breathing technique? I'll take you to see it. This place is full of Yin energy; it's not suitable!"

She dragged Chu Feng into the spacecraft, and with a whoosh, they vanished from the planet, ascending into the sky and flying towards the sun!

"It's too hot! Do you think I enjoy being barbecued like you? I'm not a masochist! Go find your own torment!" Chu Feng cried out.

Because as they approached the sun, Girlie Xi forcibly dragged him out of the spacecraft, insisting on taking his physical body into the sun. Chu Feng's face immediately turned green.

Girlie Xi said, "What are you afraid of? You're a formidable ghost, or what they call a 'fierce ghost' in the Yang World. At your level, the temperature near the sun is nothing to worry about."

She pulled Chu Feng straight into the sun, giving him no chance to object.

This was Chu Feng's first time entering the sun, and he found that the temperature on its surface was indeed bearable.

However, as they delved deeper into the sun, the sensation became truly intense. He quickly protested, "No, I can't go any deeper! I don't want to be roasted alive."

"Alright, this place is barely acceptable." Then, Girlie Xi began to circulate her breathing technique, demonstrating it for Chu Feng.

In an instant, immense waves surged within the sun. They were divine lights, the purest form of energy, which were immediately drawn to Girlie Xi, flowing into her nose and mouth.

Yang energy surged, intensely vigorous!

Chu Feng noticed that under this breathing technique, every pore on Girlie Xi's body glowed, giving rise to astonishing divinity. The effect was truly terrifying.

He was stunned. *This* was a Yang World breathing technique?! Damn, the effects were simply incredible!

Chu Feng was startled. As Girlie Xi inhaled and exhaled Yang energy, she seemed like a divine being, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression!

"Do you feel it? The extraordinary nature of a Yang World breathing technique?" Girlie Xi opened her eyes, and two bolts of lightning shot forth. Her pupils were filled with astonishing divine radiance, and in their depths, suns, moons, and stars appeared, with constellations forming and dissipating, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

Chu Feng swallowed, his eyes full of envy. He desperately wanted this breathing technique.

"This breathing technique is considered top-tier even in the Yang World; few can compare to it. You... don't even think about it for now. My grandpa won't let me teach it to outsiders!" Girlie Xi said with a half-smile, clearly seeing through Chu Feng's thoughts.

Then, she showed a strange expression. "Odd, my family's breathing technique seems to be performing even more astonishingly than it did in the Yang World."

Her heart then trembled. "Could it be that, as some great experts speculated, coming to the Underworld for a period might yield even better results?"

Though her voice was faint, Chu Feng heard it clearly, and his heart was equally shaken.

"That's right. I've absorbed a lot of Yin energy these past few days, and today, it finally triggered some kind of reaction," she murmured to herself.

"What are you saying?" Chu Feng asked.

Girlie Xi replied, "The major orthodoxies in the Yang World have never been able to definitively confirm the existence of the Underworld. However, some great experts in the Yang World speculate that if there truly is a Netherworld or an Underworld, then for a being with Yang blood to temper themselves here once and then return to the Yang World—that would be extraordinary!"

Chu Feng fell into a daze.

Then, he also sat cross-legged and began to cultivate his Stolen Breathing Technique on the sun. Something astonishing happened: his body also began to glow. The Yang energy here was incredibly abundant, far surpassing other locations, making it extremely effective for Chu Feng!

A radiant glow appeared on his skin, dazzling and brilliant, with sacred mist erupting from his pores!

"Oh, that's somewhat skillful. Your breathing technique isn't simple," Girlie Xi remarked.

Chu Feng was very surprised that his cultivation on the sun surpassed that in other places. He grew even more convinced that this was a Yang World breathing technique.

Just now, he had nearly broken through to the Meal-of-Mist Realm, but he barely managed to suppress it. That was close! Uncle Ming had told him to temporarily hold back, but cultivating his breathing technique on the sun had almost pushed him straight into the breakthrough.

Girlie Xi looked suspicious. "Something's strange. If you possess Yang blood, your breathing technique would be even more effective. It would only be one or two ranks weaker than my family's. While not among the absolute strongest, it's getting close."

Chu Feng rolled his eyes. "You're so confident, aren't you? Haven't you heard of my breathing technique? It's ranked eleventh in the entire universe!"

Girlie Xi scoffed, "Forget eleventh. Even your 'top ten' here, if brought to the Yang World, could have their origins traced back; they're all incomplete. How could they possibly compete with Yang World techniques?"

"You big trickster, always lying! If what you say is so amazing, then prove it and teach me a Yang World breathing technique!"

Upon hearing this, Girlie Xi rolled her eyes. "Hmph, who's tricking whom? I already taught you a divine technique; now you want to trick me again? No way!"

Chu Feng cultivated there for a while, but eventually couldn't stand it any longer. If he continued, he would inevitably break through and enter the Meal-of-Mist realm at any moment. He quickly asked to leave.

He muttered, "I need to contact Uncle Ming immediately. I have to go and completely absorb the secret realm's creation of the Xilin Race, then quickly enter the Meal-of-Mist realm. I really can't suppress it any longer!"

They set off again, traveling along a star-path to another planet.

A stone tablet had already been erected there, drawing many young people to gather and watch.

In fact, within the past two days, similar tablets, called "Combat Strength Tablets," had been erected on several well-known life planets across the starry sea.

The shattered universe in the chaos had created a Cosmic Genius Ranking for young individuals. These stone tablets carried Yang energy, appearing fervent, mysterious, and eerie. They could withstand the attacks of geniuses and gauge their combat strength.

"It's emitting wisps of Yang energy; this tablet isn't simple!" Chu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

Girlie Xi also showed a surprised expression. She felt that this might be a way to find her path home.

"Hey, have you heard? The Feathered Divine Body has emerged! During an ancient battle back then, this physique dared to contend with the world's strongest, Yao Yao, making Yao Yao bleed before finally being defeated!"

"Princess Yao Yao was already severely injured when she fought, having battled too many opponents beforehand."

"Regardless, the Feathered Divine Body is terrifying. This kind of physique has appeared again in this generation."

In front of the Combat Strength Tablet, many people were discussing.

Rumors had spread that in another galaxy, the Feathered Divine Body had appeared and immediately gone to test its combat strength, and the test was currently underway.

"Oh my god, shocking news! This is incredible! The Feathered Divine Body has struck an eight-star mark on the Combat Strength Tablet! That's terrifying!"

People were very sensitive to the star ratings because, in the universe, a four-star imperial dynasty could raise sub-divine beasts and traverse the cosmos, while a five-star orthodoxy was even more formidable.

Once it surpassed five stars, it was considered a super-star rank, representing a top-tier orthodoxy.

Now that the Feathered Divine Body had emerged and directly manifested an eight-star icon on the Combat Strength Tablet, it was somewhat astonishing.

"Aren't you going to try it?" Girlie Xi looked at Chu Feng.

"Of course I'll try. A youth emerging from the great wilderness, slaying all enemies in the world—Wu Lunhui has arrived!" Chu Feng declared with a righteous expression. He knew that from today onward, he needed to increase his exposure to rise quickly and become famous, gaining reputation to enter the Grand Dream Pure Land.
