The Sacred Ruins
Page 582In Kunlun, the mountains were covered in groves of green trees. A white vapor hung in the air, and propitious mists were rising in spirals.
Yuchi Kong remained in complete silence. He had been in Kunlun for the past two days feeling terrible. He had watched the battle in the outer-realm, and the final result left him silent for most of the day.
Currently, the matter was gnawing at his mind. It had been confirmed that the false one Chu Feng was not only still alive, but also possessed an astonishing power and was officially rising up.
Nowadays, even masters of the heaven-illuminator level had invaded. Chu Feng hadn’t been affected, and this made Yuchi Kong’s brows become deeply furrowed. He felt all manner of judgments had been problematic.
Chu Feng had slaughtered a saint, and now his power was extraordinary.
Not far from Yuchi Kong, the Earth’s true one was shining from head to toe. That was the Innocuous Divine Physique activating the breathing technique and respiring large quantities of the energy between heaven and Earth. His aura was extremely terrifying.
“No matter. Chu Feng may be powerful, but he’s already hated by every race. A person like him won’t live for very long. I predict that the Deity race and the Netherworld race won’t let him live. Who is the true one and who is the false one? Who is the true dragon and who is the insect? The truth will eventually come to light,” said Yuchi Kong.
Then he frowned because even he himself felt a sense of prejudice. However, he didn’t have a choice. As Zhou Shang’s protector, he hoped the latter could truly grow stronger and reach his ultimate, peerless power since their fates were already connected.
He had already placed his bet on Zhou Shang.
Chu Feng and his group of friends were celebrating in Mount Longhu. His parents, the demons of Kunlun, Yellow Ox, Black Yak, the Manchurian Tiger, and all the others were here, so it was quite lively.
“Lately, you’ve either been evolving or fighting and all day you’re facing mountains and rivers of blood. You must know that we’re indeed modern people, yet now we’re all becoming savages.” the black yak suggested that they go to the city for drinks; the mood in the city would be more lively than here in the mountains.
The group of people was speechless. How did this old yak have the nerve to say he was a modern person? If it weren’t for the sudden change in heaven and Earth, perhaps this guy would still be eating grass on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau.
Of course, Chu Feng clearly knew that this old yak had long since become immortal. When the former saw him for the first time in the Kunlun mountains, he was already very special.
“Go, go, go!” Ouyang Feng shouted. Before going to Mount Eternal, the black yak and the Manchurian Tiger had brought him to enjoy the life of the red light district.
The group majestically descended from the mountain and rushed toward Hong City. It was also located in Jiangxi province, so in terms of their speed, it was quite a relaxed trip.
Of course, Chu Feng’s parents, the old llama, the old Wudang master Wu Qifeng and the others didn’t go. To borrow their words, the youngsters’ pace didn’t suit them.
The group of greater demons broke through the sound barrier on their way, causing quite a ruckus. They flew close to the ground and made ear-splitting noises like a group of bombers.
Hong City was filled with tall buildings and row upon row of skyscrapers. Neon lights flickered in the night, the business district was bustling, and the strong aura of modern life filled the city.
Chu Feng felt a bit distracted at this moment. He looked back at more than a year’s worth of experiences and felt that was like a dream. Heaven and earth had suddenly changed, the whole world was different, and he’d unexpectedly began to walk this path.
He let out a sigh. No matter how complicated his state of mind was, he couldn’t go back.
Just like right now, the city was lively and full of feasting and pleasure-seeking at night. The streets were flowing with a stream of people, yet the land outside the city was covered with mountains where terrible beasts howled and dragon-like birds spread soared through the sky.
Even the ordinary people had gotten used to this kind of environment.
“Hey, what’s wrong, brother?” The Manchurian Tiger bumped his shoulder into Chu Feng’s with an astonished look.
“Life is perplexing. After going through such a large battle, I suddenly feel really empty. The whole world is already tranquil, and I feel unmotivated to go forward, so much so that I hate the path of evolution a bit,” Chu Feng answered subconsciously.
The black yak curled his lip in disdain and said, “This is a typical after-effect of peaking. It’s just like the feeling after you climb the summit and reach the mountaintop. First, you feel the joy of success, but after you finish gazing into the distance, you lose your objective entirely and feel momentarily at a loss. To put it frankly, this is ‘itching-for-a-beating-syndrome’. If we were to throw you into that so-called hell to be hunted down by the hellish ants and black dragons, will you still be perplexed or not? You’ll give it your all and fight with everything you have just to ensure survival.”
Chu Feng nodded and said, “That makes sense. I’m just in a bit of a trance is all.”
“I want to leave this world,” Chu Feng sudden stated. Afterward, he suddenly thought he wanted to take immediate action.
The Manchurian Tiger replied, “What nonsense are you talking about? You dare enter the depths of the universe now? People get killed in minutes. I’m sure countless opponents from the Deity and Xilin races are waiting for you to come out.”
A half an hour later, the group reserved all the seats, and all kinds of fine liquor were brought over as they started to drink merrily.
Now in addition to Chu Feng, Yellow Ox, Black Yak, Zhou Quan, and the others, the greater demons of Kunlun, Zi Luan, Yuan Mo, Zhao Qing, and the others were also present.
Zi Luan was specifically in charge of pouring liquor for Chu Feng. The old donkey and Ouyang Feng watched with sparkling eyes as they drank and argued noisily. They too wanted a saintess maid to serve them.
Zi Luan heard this and tapped her high heels noisily, using all her strength to roll her eyes at them.
At this time, Chu Feng used his photon computer to contact those people in the heavens and formally started selling the divine sons and saintesses. He had already been in touch to let those families prepare the ransom.
Tonight, the heavens were destined to be unable to stay calm.
More than two hundred divine sons and saintesses would be sold together. It was simply earth-shattering.
However, matters weren’t smooth even from the outset. Chu Feng had just used his own gold account to log into the Origin Beast Platform when some people came calling on him with extreme intensity.
“Chu Feng, you know what you’re doing is wrong. How can you expect the Deity race and the Netherworld race to swallow this? They’ll inevitably want to eliminate you. Now you’re still selling divine sons and saintesses. If you’re so high-profile about it, it’s like you’re provoking and challenging them. Listen to me, let all the divine sons and saintesses go, then every race will sing your praises.”
This was one of the more polite messages. The language was pretty good. There was another race that directly threatened him and told Chu Feng to quickly let everyone go; otherwise, they would slaughter him.
“You’re positive that you want to threaten me!?” Chu Feng cast a sideways glance and had Zi Luan pour some liquor. He drank the amber wine in one gulp, then he ferociously said, “Do you want your family’s divine son to lose his life?”
Next, his eyebrows pricked up as he said, “Yes, I understand. You don’t want to save your family’s divine son. You’ve already given up and are ashamed, so you’re forcing me to kill him. Alright, your wish is my command. I guarantee I’ll cut off his head!”
Then Chu Feng smiled coldly once more as he fixed his attention on a few stronger families and said, “Then there’s you. If you too don’t want your families’ divine sons and saintesses to live on, then just say it.”
“Chop them up!” shouted Ouyang Feng. He was completely drunk and was making a racket. He wanted to feast on an outer-realm divine son.
Later on, a champosaurus—a divine son who had revealed its true form—was killed and fried by the group of formidable people. It was then served as a champosaurus feast.
“Pfft!”
Up in the heavens, one of the young members of the champosaurus clan spat up blood. He felt that were it not for the sagemaster’s appearance, Earth would certainly have been destroyed by the large-scale invasion of the Deity and Netherworld Races. Presently, the two race’s hearts were filled with endless anger. They wanted to use this as a pretext to pressure Chu Feng, yet in the end, that native didn’t care in the slightest.
Each race in the heavens saw that Chu Feng, the black yak, and the others still wanted to chop people up. A few of the other powerful families instantly looked unwell and cried out that they were willing to pay the ransom right on the spot.
Everything went very smoothly from then on. The other families and sects pinched their noses and bore with it, agreeing to Chu Feng’s conditions obediently.
“We’ve developed. At an average of twelve billion cosmic dollars, these divine sons and saintesses are worth a ton of money. Luckily, there aren’t any of the white tiger race here, otherwise, we’d have hesitated and faced two difficult choices—to sell, or not to sell?” The Manchurian Tiger’s face lit up with excitement.
Tonight, everyone was excited.
This was especially true of the black yak, Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, and the others, for this was their first time participating in this kind of auction. They felt especially content.
They carefully calculated the bills. More than two hundred divine sons and saintesses would bring in an astonishing sum of riches! The wealth would make many sects of the universe turn green with envy.
“I don’t want cosmic dollars!” insisted Chu Feng as he expressed his own concerns. He feared that the account would be frozen by the Deity and Netherworld races’ joint efforts. Those two races were too strong.
“Seven divine sons or six saintesses for one Six Path Reincarnation Pill!” Chu Feng made his request like this. Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, the old donkey, and the others all nodded their heads in approval.
One Six Path Reincarnation Pill would be sold for eighty billion cosmic dollars on the universal black market.
They carefully calculated that so many divine sons and saintesses could only be traded for around 30 pills.
“Sigh, you see the riches and numerous captives, but one can only regret the lack of more when the time to use them arrives. So many talents can only be traded for thirty-some pills? You people are too cheap.”
Sh*t!
Many divine sons and saintesses wanted to curse him with obscenities. What medicine was that? To the golden arhats, it was invaluable medicine that they would trade their lives for.
In other words, one Six Path Reincarnation Pill was worth one golden arhat’s life.
Tonight, many of the races in the heavens would split blood, and they felt so much hatred that their teeth felt ticklish. Actually, many golden arhat-level evolvers hadn’t even seen a Six Path Reincarnation Pill in their life because they were too valuable and couldn’t be used.
Now, a young cultivator was actually collecting Six Path Reincarnation Pills like crazy. It could be said that tonight, Chu Feng was quickly becoming a thorn in the sides of the golden arhat-level evolvers.
“In the end, your power is still too low. If you were of a higher realm, how could I sell you for so for so cheap?”
Chu Feng was a bit tipsy. He stood there scolding the group of divine sons and saintesses, and this made everyone grind their teeth. These people had been brought out—they had not only been sealed but had also been strung together, causing them to sway unsteadily. The club’s garden was completely filled with people.
Zi Luan was reluctant; she had been requested by Chu Feng to massage his shoulders. However, when she saw the fate of the divine sons and saintesses there, she felt a sense of balance.
The great enchantress Zhao Qing was off to one side pouring wine for Chu Feng in Zi Luan’s place. This made the Manchurian Tiger, the black yak, and the others envious, and each of them let it be known that next time they would definitely capture a White Tiger saintess and a Yak fairy respectively.
At this time in the heavens, the Deity, Netherworld, Xilin, Soul, and Machine races were furious.
“Oh right, the Deity race’s young god is still here. Do the people of his race want him or not? Do we silently kill him or lock him up?” mulled big Black Ox, brooding.
Based on the principles of low-key conduct, they didn’t want to enrage the Deity race.
However, the Deity race took the initiative and contacted them, demanding they release Luo Yi.
Chu Feng was furious. He threw down his wine glass and said, “Damn it, why!? I’ve already slaughtered a saint, and I’ve already fought with you to my last gasp, yet now you guys are still so tyrannical and arrogant? I’ll trade Luo Yi for one hundred drops of Deity Elixir and not a drop less. Otherwise, just wait to bury your dead!”
Who would have thought that at the key moment, Chu Feng would explode with anger? He was infuriated and seemed like he would fight the Deity race to the death.
In reality, the members of the Deity race were desperate to completely dismember Chu Feng. Everything was because of him! All of the disgrace and defeat they had suffered had been started by Chu Feng and led to the events afterward.
However, Luo Yi was a descendant of a significant person, and their bloodline’s right to speech was extremely important. They didn’t want to see him die.
Yet one hundred drops of Deity Elixir was too excessive, and the race couldn’t agree to the demand. This was because internally, this type of resource wasn’t abundant and had practically never been sold.
It was even enough to split between their lineal descendants.
“Ten drops of Deity Elixir!” The Deity race contacted Chu Feng privately and offered this as a compromise.
“Twenty drops of Deity Elixir!”
At this time, the black yak, the toad, and the others were also drunk. After they heard this, they shouted together, “F*ck off!”
Sh*t! Internally the Deity race was about to explode. They couldn’t stand these hoodlum-like demons’ crude words.
“Thirty drops of Deity Elixir!” Finally, someone forced himself to raise the price once more.
At this time, the group of Kunlun demons was also drunk. After they heard this they shouted in unison, “F*ck off!”
“I’ll slaughter you all!” Many people of the Deity race were furious and started yelling that they would beat and kill everyone.
“My unfortunate great-great-grandson, I, your old ancestor, will absolutely not let you die!” Now, an old woman of the Deity race was crying loudly, and as a result, a group of people shrank away. This person’s influence was too great.
Next, a cold light flickered in the old lady’s eyes as she said, “Fifty drops of Deity Elixir. We won’t agree to a single drop more. This is our bottom line!”
Now, Chu Feng, Yellow Ox, the toad, the old donkey, Zhou Quan, and a group of Kunlun demons were drunk. Chu Feng opened his mouth to once again shout ‘fuck off’.
Zi Luan, who was behind him massaging his shoulders, quickly exerted all her strength to pinch him. Meanwhile, the enchantress Zhao Qing, who was helping Chu Feng beat his legs, used her strength to pinch his soft flesh and wake him up.
Chu Feng was instantly woken up. He was shocked! One Deity race young god was worth this much? One person was worth more than a group of divine sons and saintesses. It was so excessive!
He quickly swallowed the ‘f*ck off’ that was about to come out of his mouth and used his secret technique to seal Big Black, the toad, and the others’ mouths. He then nodded in agreement and said, “It’s a deal!”
This was because he knew he had made a large profit. This completely exceeded his expectations.
Finally, Chu Feng woke the group up. After they understood what had happened, all of them were overjoyed at the unexpected news and became incomparably excited.
Chu Feng gave them a serious warning and said, “Keep it low-key. Don’t get so excited. The entirety of the Origin Beast Platform knows that tonight, we’re selling people on the down low. Acting in such a way will cause a scandal!”
In the cosmos, countless people were cursing and looking down on him. How was this sh*t ‘low key’? They had gone and defrauded the Deity race! How could they have the nerve to be this modest?
A cute, silver-haired girl of the quasi-immortal race was rolling about on the ground and shouting excitedly, “Wahaha! This is quite interesting! The Deity race forked up so much Deity Elixir in one go. My eyes are red! Bro, Ying Wudi, let’s go rob that human trafficker! Sis, Ying Zhexian, how about you come seduce that guy with me. Fifty drops of Deity Elixir and more than thirty-Six Path Reincarnation Pills! If we can steal those, we’ll be rich!
Boom! Boom!
She met with tragedy. Two people knocked her skull at the same time.
“You guys said it yourself that we should go see Earth, so what are you hitting me for? I want to leave home and seek shelter with Chu Feng. When the time comes, I’ll join forces with him to rob you two!”
“You’re talking nonsense!”
…
Tonight on Earth, Chu Feng and the others were incomparably happy and excited. Meanwhile, the heavens were in an uproar.
Soon after, Chu Feng contacted the disciple of the Great Dream Pure Land and the sixth most beautiful woman in the universe, Qin Luoyin. He was going to sell her cousin.
