Chapter 848: Mother, Charge Forward

Chu Feng emerged from his secluded cultivation with a calm and serene demeanor, a smile on his face as he stood outside his cave dwelling.

This pure land was filled with swirling spiritual energy. Colorful beams of light cascaded down from the elegant peaks, and even the surrounding rocks shimmered like crystals. The air was fragrant with the scent of orchids.

A winding pebble path, exuding a fresh and natural aura, led directly to the cave entrance. Nearby, exotic trees with shimmering leaves bloomed with vibrant hues, each one a precious specimen capable of guiding mortals onto the path of evolution.

Chu Feng took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling refreshed and invigorated. This particular area was quiet and undisturbed, but he could faintly hear a commotion in the distance, thanks to his keen hearing.

"So many people have arrived. The Black Blood Platform, Prime Beast Platform, and representatives from the universe's top ten races are all here. Is today perhaps the day the vortex closes?"

Chu Feng was surprised, instantly understanding the reason for the bustling atmosphere ahead. He surmised that the Great Dream Pure Land must be teeming with guests, a vast crowd of renowned figures and geniuses from various factions.

Today, a major event was undoubtedly set to occur, with the entire universe watching.

Chu Feng stepped out of the cave dwelling area, walking along the pebble path. He passed through a lush green bamboo forest, listening to the murmuring stream by the roadside, feeling light and agile.

An ordinary person wouldn't perceive his formidable power. Only by truly sensing Chu Feng's inner essence would they realize how astonishing this handsome young man, who appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen, truly was.

At this moment, Chu Feng had already refined his physical body. Although it hadn't reached his most satisfied state, it was already capable of bearing his vast and powerful soul light.

A purple-glowing cliff stood majestically ahead, imbued with auspicious energy. Below it lay a deep pool from which wisps of grand dao energy emanated, accompanied by flashing runes.

Chu Feng was surprised. The Great Dream Pure Land was truly extraordinary; even a casual scenic spot contained the power of order left behind by ancient sages.

He stood there quietly, silently contemplating. This caused the deep pool to churn, water splashing, various symbols surfacing, and the power of laws permeating the air.

This was primarily because Chu Feng's soul light was now exceedingly strong, and his spiritual power immense, almost touching the Quasi-Saint realm. Naturally, he could perceive the anomalies in this place.

As no one else was present, he directly investigated. His physical body glowed, and his blood energy surged, like a dormant human-form true dragon awakening, instantly becoming powerful and formidable.

His immense soul light intertwined with the external order, and around his body, countless divine chains seemed to be weaving together.

This was order, manifesting as tangible entities, extending from the void and intertwining with him. This was the first step towards becoming a Quasi-Saint!

However, Chu Feng did not immediately attempt to break through. After all, he had just returned to this Netherworld universe and needed to consolidate his power, adjusting his physical body to its strongest state.

Only four days had passed, which was still a bit rushed.

"Enlightenment Cliff!"

Chu Feng immediately understood that this was a place of enlightenment, where the insights of past sages had transformed into order, solidified and inscribed beneath the pool and within the rock face for future generations to study.

His spiritual power was so potent that he immediately connected with it, instantly drawing numerous chains of order from the void, making him appear like a divine spider spinning its web!

After quietly contemplating for a long time, Chu Feng felt that this place would be of great help in his breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint realm. However, now was not the time. He assimilated the insights from this place, then once again reined in his power and calmly departed.

The depths of the Great Dream Pure Land were truly lively. Ordinarily, sacred places like the Divine Hall were strictly off-limits to outsiders, but today they were completely open, even allowing reporting. This was to ensure transparency and prevent accountability issues should any of the last remaining geniuses in the Divine Hall meet with an accident.

When Chu Feng arrived, he saw many familiar faces, many of whom were geniuses who had received golden invitations. He had personally witnessed them die in another world and return to this universe.

However, most of these people likely no longer remembered what had transpired in that other world.

Soon, someone spotted him and greeted him warmly.

"Look, Wu轮回 has emerged from his seclusion! That was quick. How did he come out so fast when others cultivate for at least half a year? Has he already recovered his physical body?"

"Brother Wu!" A young man in azure-gold armor stepped forward. His name was Li Xu, and he ranked among the top twenty or thirty of his generation in the universe.

"Hmm, this young man is quite good, coming out of seclusion so quickly," an elder remarked in greeting.

Chu Feng responded to them all, acknowledging their greetings.

"Gag-gag..." A laugh, like a quacking duck, echoed as Ouyang Feng, the black swan with a turtle shell on his back, rushed over and declared, "You've finally appeared."

Clearly, Chu Feng's arrival here drew attention. Although some viewed him as not the main protagonist of the event, as the true kings had yet to return, many people still flocked to him, especially those from various platforms, to report on his presence.

Of course, the Black Blood Platform and others did not direct their anchors or best Sky Eye equipment at Chu Feng. Instead, they constantly monitored the movements at the Divine Hall, which was their main battlefield and required special coverage.

A considerable number of people gathered around Chu Feng, including prodigies from various races. Even Yuan Shicheng and Yuan Yuan were present, having long forgotten the events of that other world, and engaged in conversation with Chu Feng.

Then, Chu Feng saw Ying Wudi!

He almost blurted out "brother-in-law" but managed to hold back and collect himself.

Upon seeing Chu Feng, Ying Wudi initially intended to greet him with a smile. However, for some inexplicable reason, a different emotion surged within him. His face unconsciously darkened, and he became ill-tempered towards Chu Feng, wanting to give him a cold shoulder.

Damn it! Chu Feng was speechless. He wanted to give him a good beating. How much resentment did this "sister-complex" guy harbor? He had returned, lost his memories of the fallen land, yet he still instinctively gave Chu Feng a dark look the moment he saw him. What kind of situation was this?!

"Brother Ying, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so dark?" Yuan Shicheng asked in surprise.

"No, I'm fine. I've been in great condition recently. I don't know what's wrong, but I feel inexplicably irritable," Ying Wudi admitted, not understanding it himself.

Then, he saw Chu Feng smiling at him again, and in that instant, he knew the source of his irritation. For some reason, his face grew even darker.

"Oh, Boundless Heavenly Venerate Amitabha!" Chu Feng was exasperated. This brother-in-law truly deserved a beating. Did he harbor such intense animosity towards him? His face just kept getting darker the moment he saw Chu Feng.

At this point, many people began to pay attention to this area.

Ying Xiaoxiao appeared, bouncing and skipping. Her silver hair cascaded to her waist, her large eyes were bright and sparkling, and her long eyelashes fluttered as she blinked. She exuded vibrant energy.

The moment she saw Chu Feng, she paused inexplicably, then blurted out, "Brother-in-law!"

With that single clear cry, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone turned their heads, looking back at the scene, utterly astonished. What did that mischievous child just shout?

It was widely known that the silver-haired loli had an extraordinary background: she was Ying Wudi's sister, the little princess of the Asian Immortals, and the younger sister of the universe's third most beautiful woman.

Her calling someone "brother-in-law" had an all too obvious implication!

In an instant, many young men present were petrified, utterly unable to accept this. Hadn't Ying Zhexian never had a dao companion? There had never been any rumors about her!

"Huh, what's going on? Why do I feel so close to him, and just want to call him that?" Ying Xiaoxiao mumbled.

At this moment, Chu Feng truly felt... a deep sense of relief and satisfaction! Ying Wudi had given him a dark look, as if Chu Feng owed him two million, but this sister-in-law was much better. She affectionately called him by that title upon meeting him and had even managed to remember him; her memories hadn't been completely erased!

Ouyang Feng wore a look as if he'd seen a ghost. He could tell that Ying Xiaoxiao was indeed calling out to Chu Feng because he was standing right beside him, offering a clear and true vantage point.

"Brother-in-law!" The silver-haired loli ran over, her large eyes blinking. Acting on instinct, she felt she had forgotten something important and wanted to recall it, allowing herself to delve into her memories. So she ran over and tugged on Chu Feng's sleeve.

At this moment, everyone clearly saw the suspected target and was immediately dumbfounded. What was happening? Had Wu轮回 become the son-in-law of the Ying family?

In an instant, many young men heard the sound of their hearts breaking. It was too agonizing. The universe's third most beautiful woman actually had a dao companion?

At this moment, Ying Wudi's face was as dark as it could possibly be, almost dripping with gloom.

Beside them, Yuan Shicheng and Yuan Yuan watched speechlessly, wanting to ask him if he was truly alright.

Ying Wudi finally understood the precise source of his irritation. It truly stemmed from Wu轮回. How could his sister call this man "brother-in-law"? He was furious beyond measure.

At the same time, Ouyang Feng wore a constipated expression, utterly dumbfounded. He looked at Chu Feng and the silver-haired loli, then searched the crowd for Ying Zhexian.

Ouyang the Toad was now filled with emotion, thinking that Chu Feng, that scoundrel, truly had a way with things!

"Impossible! Wu轮回 and Fairy Ying have no connection. How could they become dao companions?" someone shouted, unable to accept this cruel reality.

"Exactly! How could they? Little Fairy, you must be mistaken. Your family has no relation to him."

Several people spoke up, believing the mischievous child was playing a prank.

However, Ying Xiaoxiao tilted her head, looking deep in thought and quite distressed. "It's true," she said, "I clearly feel he's my brother-in-law. He feels very familiar, but why can't I remember?"

Beside her, Ouyang Feng craned his long swan neck, peering curiously, and reminded her, "Could it be something that happened in another world?"

"That's right! I think it must have been something that happened in another world!" Ying Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, her big eyes sparkling, and then she called out, "Brother-in-law, do you remember?"

Nearby, Ying Wudi clutched his chest, feeling a pang of pain. His steps became unsteady, and he stumbled backward, his face so dark it seemed to emit a gloomy light.

Beside him, some young men also turned pale. This blow was simply too immense.

"Breaking news! The first major headline of the day has emerged: Ying Zhexian and Wu轮回 are rumored to be romantically involved, suspected to have become dao companions in another world!"

The Prime Beast Platform immediately live-streamed this news, instantly causing a sensation across major life planets in the universe and sparking an uproar.

The Black Blood Platform and others immediately regretted not giving enough attention to Wu轮回 earlier. They quickly tried to compensate by focusing on and reporting about him.

"Eye-popping! The Princess of the Asian Immortals has married, becoming a dao companion with someone for decades, even centuries, in another world!" The Black Blood Platform exaggerated its report to attract more attention.

In just a few moments, the cosmic star sea could no longer remain calm. Discussions raged everywhere, and many young people roared in disbelief.

Within the Great Dream Pure Land, the little Daoist priest grew restless, completely ill at ease.

"This aunt is truly ruthless. The Asian Immortals are one of the strongest races in the universe; they're not to be trifled with. What if they seize my dad and force him to become a live-in son-in-law? Wouldn't my mom become pregnant before marriage? I'd definitely be unlucky after being born. Mom, go for it!"

The little Daoist priest was a peculiar anomaly; a normal person would have been born long ago, but he remained remarkably stable.

"Ahem, there's absolutely no such thing. Don't spread false rumors or report nonsense. The pearl of my Asian Immortal race has always been pure and self-respecting."

In the Great Dream Pure Land, an elder from the Asian Immortal race stepped forward, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, capable of rivaling Ying Wudi's. He vehemently explained, also threatening and warning the major platforms.

Just then, Ying Zhexian appeared, surrounded by many people as if she were the moon among stars. She walked towards them, ethereal and transcendent, enveloped in white mist, truly breathtakingly beautiful.

"Fairy Ying, do you still remember what happened in the other world? Do you have any intimate relationship with Wu轮回?" The people from the Black Blood Platform were truly audacious, asking and live-streaming such a question.

Not far away, Qin Luoyin also appeared, gracefully approaching the area, her beauty peerless.
