Chapter 757: Handsomely Unapproachable

Chu Feng was greatly startled when such a fierce, divine bird, dazzling and resplendent all over, suddenly opened its beak, stirred, and was no longer still.

As soon as a smooth, round, and intensely brilliant object emerged from its beak, Chu Feng's heart trembled. A round object – could it be an egg?!

His expression was peculiar. How could this dazzling bird be so unusual? Did it lay eggs in reverse?

In an instant, he felt he was mistaken. How could it be a divine egg? It shouldn't be a bird's egg!

Indeed, as it opened its mouth and continued to emit the divine object, golden rays illuminated everything, and many energy particles scattered like glittering raindrops.

"This..." Chu Feng was deeply moved, staring unblinkingly with pupils sharp as sword points. He suspected it was a Golden Elixir!

Was this a Golden Elixir, created through Daoist alchemy?

The exposed part was golden-yellow and perfectly round, radiating divine light. It was also accompanied by a delicate fragrance; inhaling it caused one's spiritual energy to subtly increase.

"A Daoist medicine from within the belly, a single Golden Elixir illuminating countless mountains and rivers?" Chu Feng murmured suspiciously, his expression growing more solemn.

However, this was somewhat bizarre. What should have been a plant had actually grown into a splendid, magnificent raptor with real wings and piercing eyes. He even seemed to sense soul fluctuations from it.

And now, it was about to spit out a pill?!

At this moment, the divine bird glowed intensely, undergoing an extreme sublimation, erupting with light that illuminated the entire cave dwelling. A sacred aura permeated the air.

Afterwards, it began to wither like a plant, all its vital essence gathering towards its beak, forming a rich fragrance and energy.

Chu Feng was astonished. He felt he might have overthought it. Could it still be a seed?

This time was too peculiar. It neither flowered nor bore fruit, yet it inherited in this manner, allowing the seed to transform like this, completely different from before.

Soon, this confirmed Chu Feng's conjecture.

In an instant, the entire brilliant raptor emitted its final radiance before beginning to crack, gradually disintegrating like the previous plants.

Moreover, at the last moment, its entire body underwent a strange transformation, turning inky black, and dark light surged. Particularly at its beak, it seemed to be holding a tiny black sun, its dark glow blinding to the eyes, impossible to look at directly.

Next, the black and cracked raptor disintegrated into pieces, rustling as they fell to the ground, completely withering like vegetation. A pigeon-egg-sized, inky-black object also fell, exuding a delicate fragrance.

Clang...

When it landed, it surprisingly emitted such a sound, as if a great bell from the primeval era had been struck, its reverberations gently drifting across vast space and time.

Instantly, the entire cave dwelling shook.

Chu Feng's physical body shaking was secondary; he found his spiritual energy roaring, inexplicably drawn out of his body. The disturbance he experienced was too intense and astonishing.

Chu Feng was greatly surprised and picked up the object from the ground. It was neither a bird's egg nor a Golden Elixir, but an inky-black small bell that, after its radiance receded, had a slight crystalline sheen.

It felt very heavy in his hand. It appeared to be the size of a pigeon's egg, but was heavier than gold or stone.

Chu Feng suddenly realized that what he had seen earlier was merely the upper part of the small bell. That part had soft curves, was crystalline and round, and was golden at the time, leading him to mistake it for a Golden Elixir.

It was actually a weapon!

Of course, he didn't believe it was purely a weapon; it was most likely also a seed, as there had been precedents when planting them before.

"A golden divine bird spitting out a seed that ultimately transforms into an inky-black small bell – how truly bizarre," Chu Feng mused.

Chu Feng observed it closely. The small bell had a circular handle at its top, making it easy to carry. When he gently shook it, the sound it emitted startled him; it was grander than before, like ancient great bells, reverberating through heaven and earth and shaking the cave dwelling.

It was visible that this residence, enhanced by various energy fields, developed cracks and eventually became riddled with damage, almost destroyed.

What astonished Chu Feng the most was that this inky-black small bell could indeed interfere with people's spiritual energy. He tried to activate it with spiritual martial arts, and it immediately rose into the air. With the added spiritual energy, the bell emitted dark ripples that penetrated the mountain's core, capable of soul attacks!

In an instant, Chu Feng's heart pounded with alarm. This small bell could amplify one's spiritual energy, making its attacks unrivaled!

He tried it several times. This was an extraordinary secret treasure. Its surprise attacks could directly obliterate a living being's soul and completely sever an opponent's spiritual energy.

"Soul Bell!"

Chu Feng felt this was a powerful spiritual weapon, surpassing all spiritual secret treasures he had previously obtained.

He studied it carefully, discovering that each time he activated the pigeon-egg-sized small bell, patterns appeared on its surface, as if order was interweaving and rules were being born, accompanied by a faint misty haze.

He quickly sat down cross-legged to comprehend it.

In an instant, his body greatly vibrated. A wisp of radiant mist, diffused with clouds, rose from his flesh and blood, then merged into his spiritual energy.

This was the wisp of mysterious radiance emitted by the golden raptor just recently. This time there were no flowers or pollen, yet such a wisp of light appeared, corresponding to the Radiance Realm.

"Perhaps I can acquire an astonishing secret technique!" Chu Feng murmured to himself.

Previously, when he was attempting to break through to the Radiance Realm, he followed Uncle Ming's advice to seek a wisp of radiance on the dead star where the Xilin Clan guarded the cosmic black prison. He eventually succeeded, and from this, he evolved an extremely powerful divine ability: the ability to manifest the rudimentary form of the stone cave at the end of the reincarnation path, capable of devouring opponents.

The Radiance Realm is very special. If one can gather special divine radiance and immortal qi, one's strength can grow, and divine abilities can be born.

Now, Chu Feng, through the evolution of the divine seed, had once again obtained a wisp of exceptionally extraordinary divine light. Naturally, he wouldn't waste it, so he began to deduce and comprehend it by combining it with the patterns on the black small bell.

Everything went smoothly. He understood what this wisp of light represented, and as expected, it was consistent with the patterns on the inky-black small bell from the divine seed, evolving into a spiritual attack technique!

Chu Feng's heart pounded violently. Without needing to think much, this was an exceedingly powerful secret technique!

Once it involved spiritual power, especially martial arts that could directly obliterate a person's soul, these were secret manuals of astonishing value. If powerful enough, they could even be called divine techniques!

There were many methods for attacking the soul, but such a potent and mysterious one that could instantly sever a soul was exceptionally rare.

Chu Feng tried multiple times, allowing this wisp of radiance to resonate with him and eventually absorbing it completely. After also comprehending the patterns on the seed, he was certain he had mastered a terrifying method; this secret technique was exceedingly powerful!

Following the manifestation of the indistinct stone cave at the end of the reincarnation path in his palm, he now mastered this soul attack technique. In the Radiance Realm, he had cultivated two ultimate trump cards!

He had cultivated one more secret technique in the Radiance Realm than ordinary people!

After repeated comprehension and continuous experimentation, a small bell hovered before Chu Feng's brow. With a gentle tremor, his spiritual energy surged, transforming into a black beam of light that shot out with terrifying destructive power.

He quietly left the cave dwelling to test it outside. With one tremor of the small bell, a water-jar-thick, multicolored venomous python riding the wind in the mountains immediately fell to the ground, its soul severed.

Soon, someone from the cave dwelling's rental agency arrived. Upon entering the mountain area and seeing the state of the cave dwelling, they were stunned; it was full of cracks, almost completely destroyed.

"Fellow Daoist, you have damaged the cultivation ground like this..."

"I'll pay!" Chu Feng replied directly, proactively agreeing to compensation before the person could finish speaking.

Afterwards, he sent the person away. He re-entered the cave, where some strange soil remained on the ground, but he couldn't make the black small bell take root and sprout.

Chu Feng sighed, realizing he would have to find higher-quality strange soil next time.

One should know that this pile of strange soil was dug from a saint's dwelling. Where would he find more next time? Considering the quality of strange soil, he would certainly have to go to the headquarters of great sects or the ancestral lands of top powerful clans.

However, he was very hopeful. Since he was already in the starry sky, there would surely be opportunities. As long as the strange soil was of a high enough grade, he might be able to continue evolving all the way to the peak!

Chu Feng carefully comprehended. This time, he advanced from the middle to the late stage of the Radiance Realm, then further consolidated, directly reaching Great Perfection, just a step away from a higher major realm.

He even felt that if he pushed hard enough, he would likely break through in one go!

However, he didn't do so. Just like when he was about to enter the Radiance Realm, the next major realm also had many intricacies.

Back then, to break into the Radiance domain, Uncle Ming took him to capture that strange wisp of light, only then did he advance. Indeed, the benefits were numerous.

Now, he felt he should carefully consider before attempting another breakthrough. Moreover, the opportunity of the Great Dream Pure Land was at hand, and he should go there to seize the creation.

There, he might experience a hundred years of enlightenment in a single night. He had plenty of time. What was most important now was to clearly plan his future path.

"Radiance and Shaping—these two realms are incredibly crucial. Even the direct descendants of the top ten major powers endure years of hardship in these two realms, deliberately suppressing their advancements and not daring to easily progress, all for the sake of ultimately achieving the most perfect Golden Body realm!"

Chu Feng pondered, deciding to end his seclusion to gain a thorough understanding before entering the Shaping Realm.

Today, he suddenly surged from the middle to the late stage of the Radiance Realm, then bypassed the late stage and directly reached Great Perfection. This was astonishing enough.

A single seed allowed him to evolve, creating all of this!

Moreover, he didn't feel anything amiss, seemingly without any hidden dangers.

One should know that even the direct descendants of the Demi-Immortal Race, Buddhist Race, and Heavenly God Race treat the Radiance and Shaping realms as facing a formidable enemy, using time to hone themselves, fearing to leave behind flaws or hidden dangers.

Chu Feng had a layer of viscous fluid on his body, material expelled during his recent intense evolution. He walked out of the cave dwelling, washed himself clean by the mountain spring, and thus completely ended this period of seclusion.

This period of seclusion lasted over twenty days. Most of the time was spent operating breathing techniques and nourishing the divine seed with Yang qi. However, it was highly worthwhile!

After leaving the mountain area filled with cave dwellings, Chu Feng activated his optical computer and instantly received many messages.

What most stirred him was that the grand event of the Great Dream Pure Land was about to begin!

"Each participant is required to bring a wisp of light mist of extraordinary quality, as well as divine resources needed for the Shaping Realm."

Chu Feng was surprised; the Great Dream Pure Land's requirements were quite high.

However, the Great Dream Pure Land made no secret of it. They openly stated that since it was a grand event where only three or four individuals would ultimately seize the creation, they might as well add a prize: all geniuses should bring the items needed for their evolution, and whoever could achieve enlightenment there would win various divine objects and gather abundant resources.

After carefully reading the explanations, Chu Feng gasped in cold air, secretly glad that he hadn't rashly rushed into the Shaping Realm. Indeed, there were many intricacies.

For example, Ying Wudi of the Demi-Immortal Race had already cultivated eight unique secret techniques in the Radiance Realm, even manifesting peerless combat techniques!

Jin Lin Daozi, the Dao Race's top young master, had cultivated only one unique secret technique in the Radiance Realm, following the path of "one technique breaks all methods." However, the rare divine light and immortal mist he consumed amounted to nine wisps!

"No wonder they endure years of hardship in this realm," Chu Feng mused. "They are waiting for opportunities, constantly collecting. No, I need to plan too!"

Chu Feng murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming brightly.

Perhaps this trip to the Great Dream Pure Land was an opportunity. Hundreds of geniuses gathered together, and if they all brought prizes... His eyes grew fiery, radiating intense light like two blazing suns.

"In the Radiance domain," he wondered, "should I pursue fusion and the path of 'one technique breaks all methods,' or cultivate the forbidden path of ten ultimate techniques standing side by side?"

Chu Feng hesitated, pondering seriously.

Next, he checked the messages again. There were coded messages left by the group from Earth on certain platforms, informing him of some matters.

"The toad has emerged from seclusion and obtained the Divine King's fourth form?" Chu Feng was surprised, learning that Ouyang Feng had entered the cosmos.

Old Donkey left a message saying that the current toad was handsomely messy, dashing and uninhibited. He guaranteed Chu Feng wouldn't recognize him at first sight.

Black Ox also earnestly informed him that Ouyang Feng was incomparably valiant, truly reborn, completely different from before.

A group of great demons were not stingy with praise, all saying that after the toad's Nirvana, his demeanor was outstanding, he was dignified and imposing, completely transformed.

Chu Feng was suspicious. Why did this group of people praise him so much without saying what the toad actually looked like?

Then, Chu Feng proactively contacted Ouyang Feng. His first question was to ask him how handsome he truly was, that Old Donkey, Northeastern Tiger, and the others were all praising him so enthusiastically.

After being contacted by Chu Feng, the toad was originally very smug, but after hearing Chu Feng's words, it immediately fell silent.

Then, after a quarter of an hour, Ouyang Feng gnashed his teeth and said, "That donkey, and Old Black, and the Siberian Tiger, I will definitely beat them to death!"

"What exactly have you transformed into?"

"Handsome and dashing, elegant and uninhibited! I guarantee you'll feel inferior the moment you see me!" Ouyang Feng growled, then decisively ended the call!

Chu Feng was speechless, filled with doubt. Had this guy really become handsome? He wanted to meet up and see right away!
