At the main gate, a colossal silver Bodhi tree overshadowed everything. Its leaves swayed in the breeze, resembling countless scriptures being turned. Blurred patterns intertwined on the ancient tree, an embodiment of order and rules manifested on the divine tree.
On this silver Bodhi divine tree, some fruits gleamed, emitting a silvery-white radiance, with Dao patterns appearing on each one.
Chu Feng slowly walked into the magnificent main gate, accompanied by many others.
Ouyang Feng, however, stopped at this spot, gazing at the Bodhi fruits, seemingly unable to move.
At this moment, an elder smiled and said, "Your Highness, who possesses the Hegemon God Body, if you wish, our Grand Dream Pure Land will gift you a Bodhi seed before you depart."
When Ouyang Feng first heard the words "Hegemon God Body," he nearly leaped in exasperation. That accursed Hegemon Body, associated with Juntuo, was something he would never want, even if it killed him. However, upon hearing that they intended to gift him a Bodhi fruit from the divine tree, such good fortune? He promptly shut his mouth.
Nearby, many universe-level geniuses were shaken and filled with envy upon hearing this. Such a Bodhi seed, if worn perpetually, could help one comprehend the power of order and significantly boost their evolution speed.
The elder from Grand Dream Pure Land spoke, saying, "Ancient Sage Juntuo is a highly respected figure, revered by our generation. The venerable sage once came to request Bodhi seeds in the past, and we promised that when they matured, we could give him a few."
While they called it a gift, Ancient Sage Juntuo had actually provided significant assistance to Grand Dream Pure Land. Otherwise, such a lineage wouldn't even extend courtesy to a saint.
The elder's implication was clear: Ouyang Feng was Juntuo's offspring, so gifting him a divine Bodhi seed was perfectly reasonable.
Ouyang Feng was utterly disgusted. He had wanted to lash out and declare to everyone that he had nothing to do with that accursed Juntuo and could never acknowledge such a connection. However, with such a massive opportunity right before him – a divine Bodhi that could purify the divine blood within him and accelerate his evolution by over twenty percent – how could he possibly let it slip away?! Moreover, he didn't just want one; he wanted several, especially since they had mentioned planning to give Juntuo multiple. So, despite his utter revulsion and dark expression, the toad ultimately held his nose and accepted it, choosing not to refute it or reveal his true identity for the time being.
"Your Highness, please come this way!" The people from Grand Dream Pure Land were very courteous, looking at Ouyang Feng with newfound respect. Anyone with a special constitution, such as a divine body or a hegemon body, could be revered as "Your Highness" due to their boundless future potential.
"Just call me Ouye," Ouyang Feng said. Being addressed as "Your Highness" and presumed to possess the Hegemon God Body, he inevitably thought of Juntuo, which he found somewhat unbearable.
In the distance, Chu Feng suppressed a smile, secretly enjoying the situation.
He hadn't expected this situation to effectively confirm Ouyang Feng's identity; the toad had even acquiesced due to the allure of the divine Bodhi seeds, making refutation impossible now.
Back on Earth, the Big Black Ox, Old Donkey, Yellow Ox, Zhou Quan, and a large group of others were all dumbfounded; they had clearly witnessed everything that transpired outside the main gate. While Grand Dream Pure Land had initially allowed live streaming, it was no longer permitted once inside.
"Holy cow, the toad just became Juntuo's son! He's the legendary Hegemon God Body, and just like that, he's being revered as Your Highness!"
"I say, brothers," someone else added, "should we stop bringing up Saint Juntuo from now on? No matter what, he's still Ouyang Feng's relative."
The group shared peculiar glances, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, within Grand Dream Pure Land, Chu Feng walked forward, holding the silver-haired little loli's hand, accompanied by others and surrounded by many talented individuals.
As they admired the surrounding wonders, they couldn't help but marvel at what a truly magnificent place it was.
Along the way, immortal mountains rose one after another, and flowing energy mists shimmered in a vibrant, dreamlike display. Every spot presented a beautiful vista. For instance, the bubbling Golden Body Pool, where Golden Body level evolutionaries tempered their bodies, was nestled among green pines and cypresses not far away, its golden waters glowing, enveloped in mist.
Another example was a sky-reaching ancient tree, so wide that dozens of people couldn't encircle it, lush with branches and leaves, and flowing with seven-colored divine light throughout its sacred form.
According to explanations, the age of this ancient tree was immeasurable. It had once failed its tribulation and thus couldn't develop spiritual consciousness, yet the medicinal efficacy of its flowers and fruits was exceedingly potent.
It could enable sub-saints to evolve!
Everyone gasped upon hearing this. It was simply a divine tree of immense value; to some, it was even more enticing and valuable than divine medicines.
Chu Feng paused here, staring at the ground. The soil there was unique, imbued with flowing Yin and Yang energies, appearing in only black and white hues. The soil was crystalline and radiant, dense with energy.
He genuinely wished he could immediately begin excavating the spot!
However, beneath the tree sat several elders, all at the Golden Body level, who regularly played chess and cultivated themselves there, making the defenses too stringent.
"The foundation of Grand Dream Pure Land is astonishing," Chu Feng sighed. "These are merely the visible aspects; there's no telling what's hidden."
At this moment, the silver-haired little loli was pouting angrily. Though Chu Feng held her hand, her cheeks were puffed out in reluctance, as she had been tricked by this "cross-dressing big shot" earlier.
Now, she merely wanted to get closer to him to uncover his true origins, his master, and his secrets, which was why she was walking alongside him.
However, Ying Wudi and Ying Zhexian caught up. Ying Wudi, in particular, instinctively felt that this Wu Lunhui was no good; having flirted with his elder sister, and now holding his younger sister's hand, how could he possibly tolerate it?!
Yet, he was reluctant to completely break ties, especially since his elder sister Ying Zhexian had just tacitly acknowledged him as her sworn brother.
"Xiaoxiao, come here, I have something to tell you!" Ying Wudi called out.
However, Ying Xiaoxiao's large eyes blinked, and she simply turned her silver-haired back to him. She normally enjoyed contradicting her rigid older brother, and having finally come outside, she certainly didn't want to be controlled by that "old stickler."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Brother Ying, don't worry. With me, her sworn brother, here, she won't run around causing trouble."
"Go to hell, what 'sworn brother'?!" Ying Wudi desperately wanted to retort. This impossibly handsome and refined Wu Lunhui standing before him stirred an impulse to beat him senseless.
"It's fine, we're all family," Chu Feng said, waving at him, then gently smiled at Ying Zhexian.
"Family? Are you kidding me?!" Ying Wudi opened his mouth, truly feeling unwilling to accept it, yet he couldn't utter a word.
"Son of the Ying family, rest assured," someone nearby interjected, "the righteous and honorable Wu Lunhui is not just talk." This made Ying Wudi almost vomit blood.
Meanwhile, not only was Chu Feng surrounded by a crowd, but Ouyang Feng had also become a focal point on the other side. His Hegemon God Body bloodline had been revealed, astonishing everyone!
Within Ouye, both divine blood flowed and hegemon blood awakened. The latter, in particular, was something that only occasionally appeared in legendary turtles and barbaric dragons, making his dual constitution truly astonishing.
Such an evolutionary would undoubtedly reach the pinnacle of the evolutionary path, becoming one of the rare few at the solitary peak, and naturally, many would seek to win him over.
"Brother Ouye, we're family!" From nearby, a large black head popped out, attempting to ingratiate itself with Ouyang Feng, which instantly turned the toad's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
This was an evolutionary with a Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) bloodline, its shell covered in patterns. It craned its neck, drawing close to him, and began to interact enthusiastically.
Ouyang Feng's tongue was usually venomous, and he would often spit insults, but today he had a bitter taste in his mouth and was choked into silence.
"Who's family with you?" He wanted to curse them all, but he couldn't utter a word; the divine Bodhi seeds from Grand Dream Pure Land had sealed his lips.
"Ancient Sage Juntuo is a model for our clan and has always been my revered goal," the black turtle with Xuanwu bloodline praised without reservation. "The elder gained a son in his old age, and at the saint level, actually has a descendant like Brother Ouye. This is destined to make our clan prosper and flourish!"
"Well said, well said, a pleasure to meet you!" Ouyang Feng didn't even know how he was responding. He felt his nose was about to be twisted out of shape from anger, and furious inside, he cursed Chu Feng for putting him in this predicament.
He then decisively made his escape, genuinely not wanting to interact with anyone from Juntuo's lineage; such relatives gave him a headache.
Grand Dream Pure Land was a realm of flowing waterfalls and springs, glowing ancient trees, and spirit stones piled like mountains. Every ten steps revealed a new scenic view, with pavilions and terraces ubiquitous, and divine herbs and sacred medicines faintly visible.
The spiritual energy here was so dense it was almost liquid, an intoxicating atmosphere.
Along the way, Chu Feng's heart itched; he genuinely wanted to excavate the entire place. He saw many spots with astonishingly energy-rich exotic soils, such as earth as brilliant as a rainbow, and soil emitting nine-colored divine light faintly appearing in a forbidden area deep within a medicinal garden.
He estimated that the exotic soil here could definitely make the Yang Realm seeds sprout countless times!
"Everyone has arrived," announced a person from Grand Dream Pure Land. "Although you are all exceptional talents, long famous throughout the starry skies, the strongest young prodigies of this era, some even household names, you are still not exempt and must undergo bone age verification here."
The people from Grand Dream Pure Land politely led everyone to a plaza surrounded by spirit mountains, where ancient pines were rooted, silver waterfalls cascaded, and purple mist permeated the air.
This plaza, nestled among the mountains, was also very spacious, capable of accommodating tens of thousands for martial arts practice without issue. In its center stood a tower.
Individuals over thirty years old were not permitted to participate in this grand event, a rule announced to all parties in advance. However, in past sessions, some had falsified their ages and attempted to sneak through by carrying peculiar secret treasures. Therefore, mandatory testing was now required.
"Yuan Shicheng, twenty-six years old, passed!"
"The Divine Son of the Golden Heavenly Spider Clan, twenty-nine years old, no problem."
"Ying Wudi, twenty-three years old, bone age meets requirements!"
The seven-story stone tower in the plaza glowed. As each person approached, they were illuminated to near transparency, their bone structure, flesh, and other elements clearly detected.
Furthermore, any special secret treasures carried on a person would also be revealed, leaving no secrets.
Chu Feng secretly felt lucky that he had hidden a pile of illicit items in the starry sky beforehand; if he had brought them in, something would definitely have gone wrong.
"Wu Lunhui, bone age detection result: fourteen and a half years old!"
This result immediately caused a sensation; he was the youngest among all the universe-level geniuses who had received golden invitations.
Yet, everyone knew that this individual was immensely powerful, outrageously fierce, and had dared to challenge that notorious human trafficker!
"A hero emerges from youth!" an old woman nodded, looking at Chu Feng with growing satisfaction, almost as if she were appraising a son-in-law.
Many people from Grand Dream Pure Land were present in the plaza, including a large group of Golden Body level old monsters and many young disciples, all staring with curiosity.
"Hmm, not bad, able to suppress Demon Chu," another old woman nodded, her face full of smiles. "I am very pleased. Good child, this old woman thinks highly of you."
"That Demon Chu has repeatedly offended us, speaking disrespectfully, and he dares to dream of entering Grand Dream Pure Land? Let him dream!" someone else stated.
Without a doubt, the people of Grand Dream Pure Land had little goodwill towards Chu Feng.
"Brother Wu, I hope you gain something here," a young disciple from Grand Dream Pure Land said, showing goodwill towards Wu Lunhui. "Even if you can't comprehend the Dao for a hundred years, you should for several decades. Then you can truly suppress Demon Chu."
This was because, at that time, almost all of Grand Dream Pure Land's younger generation would go to that special divine hall. If they were near certain seed-level universe geniuses, they might share the opportunity to comprehend the Dao for decades!
Otherwise, Grand Dream Pure Land wouldn't be so open. They stood to gain enormous benefits by using outside universe geniuses to cultivate their own disciples, making them the biggest winners every time.
"No problem," Wu Lunhui said modestly, "but when I dueled Chu Feng, I didn't suppress him; at most, it was a draw."
"Haha, after today, once Brother Wu comprehends the Dao here, things will be different," someone else boasted. "That wretched Demon Chu always wanted to come here but never got the chance. Brother Wu, your achievements are destined to far surpass his!"
Some young people from Grand Dream Pure Land, standing beside Chu Feng, showed their goodwill by showering him with compliments.
"Damn it all..." Chu Feng wanted to curse!
Subsequently, it was Ouyang Feng's turn to step forward, enveloped by the light emitted from the seven-story stone tower.
"Ouye, bone age..." The elder in charge of the examination was bewildered. How could the detection result be... two or three years old? It seemed there was a problem; it wasn't very accurate.
"Hmm, bone age twelve years!" he finally announced.
This was because Ouye's detection could indeed fluctuate. His bone age appeared to be two or three years, but his soul fluctuations and other indicators suggested he was older. So, the elder compromised and reported his age as twelve years, as Ouye himself had stated earlier.
In fact, Ouyang Feng had possessed a trace of spiritual consciousness within his egg during ancient times, listening to great beings preach. Later, he was cursed and sealed, making it very difficult to determine his true age.
"Good child, truly amazing," an elder remarked, stepping forward and taking Ouyang Feng's hand, growing fonder the more he looked. "To possess such extraordinary abilities at such a young age—Juntuo truly has a worthy successor."
Ouyang Feng felt extremely awkward. He wanted to curse, feeling utterly ruined by Chu Feng. Why did he have to live under Juntuo's shadow everywhere he went? What kind of farce was this now?
"This old man was friends with Juntuo back in the day," the Golden Body elder said. "I truly miss the era when we dominated together. Time makes one old; unfortunately, I did not become a saint, but he did. However, this old man also had a great opportunity, having accidentally consumed an immortal herb, thus barely surviving until now."
This Golden Body level elder was terrifyingly old, having lived from ancient times until now, quite possibly the longest-lived Golden Body level evolutionary in history.
"Come, call me uncle," the old man said, looking at Ouyang Feng with satisfaction, patting his head, his face full of loving kindness. It was clear his relationship with Juntuo was exceptionally close.
"F***!" Ouyang Feng inwardly cursed, feeling a million frustrations. He truly couldn't stand it, but he bit the bullet, plastered a smile on his face, and against his conscience, called out, "Hello, Uncle! May Uncle live ten thousand years!"
"Good child, seeing you reminds me of Juntuo," the elder said kindly. "Look, how much these eyes resemble his! And this turtle shell, when tapped, emits divine sounds and is covered in Dao patterns; it's much stronger than Juntuo's back then."
Ouyang Feng was speechless.
"Damn it all," he cursed inwardly, "where do I resemble Juntuo?!"
But he could only rage inwardly, while maintaining a forced smile outwardly.
