Chapter 654: Ice Jade Physique

Chu Feng: “….”

He had wanted to escape at first, but this young girl was screaming for her mother and shouting about ghosts. She shut the cabin doors immediately and seemed like she was about to run. This made him relatively speechless.

“Leave, leave, I want to return to the world of the living!” The young girl was trembling in shock to find that the netherworld actually existed; it wasn’t just a legend. She was completely terrified.

“Calendar of the heavenly emperor, Year 9,876,351, 10th month. The most beautiful fairy in the world, Xi, accidentally entered the netherworld and encountered a little demon. I hereby leave this record.”

This young lady was fairly narcissistic. She didn’t forget to praise herself even in her diary input. She seemed to have a habit of recording her various travels. With a flash of her spirit, the words appeared carved upon a piece of jade.

Afterward, she duly escaped while mumbling about missing her mother and about wanting to return to the world of the living. Riding the metallic sphere, she vanished without a trace.

Chu Feng’s expression was odd. He felt quite odd because this young lady seemed to have come from the yang-realm. If that were the case, then what was he?

He descended to the half-destroyed planet and sensed a burning aura lingering therein. The energy flowed into his body and elicited a pain akin to stabbing needles.

“These were energy particles belonging to the other world. The remaining drops were already scorching. Who would be able to take it if their entire world was this hot?”

Chu Feng guessed that if he entered that other world just like that he just might burst into flames and turn into a pile of ash.

Very soon, his expression became increasingly ugly. The conclusion he had reached from his brief deduction was fairly terrifying. It was highly possible that he would disappear like snow under the raging sun.

His expression was unsightly because he might actually die after entering the Yang-Realm. Unable to endure the aura of that world, he would turn into black ash.

As he saw it, it was really no different from a spirit coming into the midday sun—he would be burned alive. This… caused him to fall into silence.

Suddenly, Chu Feng tried refining the remaining aura with the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh…

The effects were shocking. Strands of golden energy particles surged up like flames and entered Chu Feng’s body. It was a bit painful at first but soon he felt his body being refined and nourished by the blaze. It brought him great benefits.

“Eh?!”

Chu Feng was bewildered. A hundred thoughts ran through his mind in the blink of an eye.

His had personally experienced why the Deity Race wanted this breathing technique so much. It was so powerful in dealing with the aura of the Yang-Realm. It could actually refine the aura for one’s own use!

It was simply heaven-defying!

But Chu Feng had also noticed that he had to take things step-by-step. He couldn’t just enter the Yang-Realm by relying on the breathing technique. Otherwise, he would likely encounter a problem.

Of course, Chu Feng began searching for the spatial transmission array after completing the refinement. But at this point, he was immediately dumbfounded and began howling at the sky.

“Damn brat, give me my star path! Build them back!”

He was anxious because the star path on this little planet had been destroyed. The transmission domain was beyond recognition due to the erosion of the yang energy. All the magnetic stones had melted down and the place was filled with potholes.

Chu Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He was in the middle of nowhere and his path had been cut off. Now, where was he supposed to go?

Chu Feng’s vision grew dim. He had tried hard for half a month, but where had he landed now?

His green boat could travel 60,000 kilometers on a full charge. But with how vast the universe was, he wouldn’t make it even if he were to go all out!

A million recharges would allow his boat to travel 5 billion kilometers. This range was barely enough to take him out of the solar system.

The solar system was completely insignificant within the boundless starry skies.

Besides, a million recharges would surely cause Chu Feng to collapse. His entire body would be drained.

Chu Feng became anxious. He could no longer continue his journey after being harmed by a young girl with powerful yang energy.

What the f*ck was this?!

He opened up his photon computer and finally connected to the intergalactic network. The signal was pretty bad because this area was secluded from the outside world. The star path he had taken was barely connected to the outside world.

It could be said that he was relatively fortunate because most of the other star paths didn’t have any signal at all. The entire journey would be boring and dull.

Chu Feng couldn’t find a way out at the moment so he could only go to the intergalactic network to search for information. He wanted to try contacting some interstellar explorers or even the space pirates in order to leave this place.

He wanted to look at the news.

That was because he had actually witnessed a creature of the Yang Realm and experienced their rolling heat. What was the situation in the outside world?

Afterward, he was astonished!

Just within a couple of days, the outside world had been turned upside down. Something major had happened.

A world-shaking yang energy erupted from the primal chaos. Some of them shot into this cosmos and destroyed a couple of planets. Moreover, some people reportedly saw a true Yang-Realm creature.

This news alarmed all of the top experts in the cosmos. They were all looking to take action and make things clear.

Very soon, an important piece of information shook all the races in the starry sky. An expert who had taken one step into the heaven-illuminator realm had passed away. He was unfortunately enveloped by a mass of intense, living yang energy, which later exploded and killed him in both form and soul.

The news was that all races were mobilizing their top experts to capture this Yang-Realm entity.

“One resource planet for the Yang-Realm entity!” That was news from five days ago. The price shocked even Chu Feng.

“Ten resource planets for the Yang-Realm entity!” This was a post from four days ago. The price had jumped tenfold.

Then, he saw the price for today and was flabbergasted.

“A hundred resource planets or ten vital stars for the Yang World creature!”

This bounty was crazy!

At this point, the entire cosmos was aboil. All the races had been stunned and shaken into a commotion.

Even the present Chu Feng felt that it was too crazy. Was the Yang-Realm creature worth that much?

Very soon, someone came up with an explanation. The creature possessed a breathing technique that would allow one to acclimatize to the boiling Yang-Realm. One could evolve and cultivate without being burned.

Chu Feng was speechless after seeing this. Did the major characters of this world believe they were ghosts?

As expected, another person revealed that the yang energy in the broken cosmos was too strong for ordinary cultivators.

Reportedly, the Yang-Realm’s heat was ten to a hundred times greater than that broken transition area. One would need to grasp the Yang-Realm breathing technique in order to pass through.

“Some major characters and heaven-illuminators aren’t only looking to explore the broken cosmos. They actually wanted to reincarnate and enter the true Yang-World. They wanted to be reborn on the other side as a being with flesh and blood.

Doubtlessly, this theory produced a great eruption that would shake the entire cosmos. Its effects would be calamitous.

Hence, the theory was immediately extinguished after it was brought up. Some of the major powers had worked together to seal it and prevent it from spreading further.

Otherwise, an extremely bad outcome might be waiting for them. The cosmos was destined to fall into chaos.

Chu Feng was able to read this sealed information because of Yellow Ox. The latter had told him about a hidden forum where galactic pirates and fugitives gathered to exchange information.

He was speechless when he first logged in because some of the members asked him if he had killed a saint before. Others asked him if he had robbed the resources planets of the Ten Greats. There were also those who inquired if he had enemies among the top-100 planets.

Chu Feng was immediately dumbfounded. Just what were their backgrounds? They all seemed like old demons and fierce characters. How did a kid like Yellow Ox find his way in?

At first, Chu Feng was still quite apprehensive, but he became quite calm later on. He had slain a saint, sold hundreds of divine sons and saintesses, in addition to kicking the Deity Race and Dameng Pure Land about—his accomplishments wouldn’t lose to anyone in this forum.

He even suspected whether a certain goddess in the starry sky was carrying his bloodline. He was too embarrassed to speak about that accomplishment.

Chu Feng left the forum and became lost in thought. Were the major characters of this world looking to be reincarnated in the world of the living?

“Netherworld imp, what are you in a daze for?!”

Chu Feng was pondering at first, but he soon became cautious. Looking up, he sensed a kind of spiritual sound coming through from the distant metallic sphere.

The young girl Xi from the Yang-Realm had appeared again!

“It’s rare to see such a beautiful imp girl. Unfortunately, she’s a ghost from the netherworld.”

The golden metallic sphere hovered in the air as the cabin doors opened and the young girl stepped out. She was trembling due to the incomparable cold. She looked down at Chu Feng from above and sized him up from head to toe.

Chu Feng could no longer bear it. This little lass had broken his forward path and kept calling him a little demon. The worst part was that she thought he was a little girl. Goddammit, that was too intolerable!

“Lass, you dare make cynical remarks up there? Come down here!” Chu Feng shouted loudly in an attempt to scare her. That was because he knew that the girl wasn’t brave at all.

“Heavens, even a little imp is so ferocious. Mama… I want to go home. The netherworld is too terrifying! B-but, how do I go back? No, I have to hold on and get over these obstacles. I must capture that little demon and try to understand this netherworld. Then, I’ll find a way home!”

The young girl was badly frightened by Chu Feng. Her face went pale and she almost turned about and ran into the metallic sphere. However, she did not give up and kept on mumbling words of encouragement to herself, telling herself that she wouldn’t run away.

Chu Feng was fairly speechless on the small planet. This scaredy cat had the gall to come back and capture him?!

Afterward, his eyes started burning. This Yang-World entity could be traded for 100 resources planets or 10 vital stars. This was an exorbitant sum of money. He could raise a large orthodoxy with such a vast territory.

“Brat, where do you think you’re running to?”

Chu Feng knew she was timid, so he charged upward with an evil tone and the Reincarnation Blade in hand. He acted as though he was about to capture her in hopes of sending her into a panic, ultimately, making it easier for him to seize her alive.

He could learn things related to the Yang-Realm from her without changing planets. Perhaps he might even learn a Yang-Realm technique from her!

“Ah, this netherworld demon is so violent. This is the first imp I’ve seen since coming here and her strength isn’t so impressive either. Now she’s coming up to eat me!” Xi screamed while running away, crying out for her mommy all the while.

However, the final result was that Chu Feng began cursing out loud. That was because he failed at the last moment and got captured instead.

He was engulfed by a mysterious energy and thrown into a transparent, isolated cabin. In the blink of an eye, he felt the yang energy grow so dense that he couldn’t endure it. It was too terrifying.

“I… used the ship to catch a little demon. This little girl is beautiful but so terrifying. She keeps baring her fangs at me. So warlike!” the little girl cried out.

Damn your grandpa! Chu Feng cursed out loud. He didn’t know if he’d been tricked by this girl or if he was actually captured by this timid rookie.

Chu Feng quickly circulated the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique. Otherwise, he would be burned to ashes. He simply couldn’t withstand the aura here.

“Little demon, don’t be afraid. You’re in the cold room right now, I’ll reduce the temperature even more so that you won’t be burned to death by the yang energy. I’ve read many ghost stories and legends about the netherworld. I never would’ve imagined I would experience everything today. There really is a netherworld!”

Chu Feng almost flipped out after hearing this. He had really been captured by a greenhorn and was even inside the cold room? That was too embarrassing.

Very soon, Chu Feng trembled after seeing the little girl’s power. She was extremely strong and terrifying.

Or it should be said that this ship was terrifying. It was a great killing weapon.

There was a group of ants in the distance—some of them were pitch black, some a dazzling gold, while others were silvery white. These large, violent creatures seemed to have come from hell and the smallest one was as big as a calf.

Hellish Ants!

Chu Feng was astonished. Even these hibernating creatures had mobilized in a group and walked out of that frightening forbidden zone. Did they come to this place for the yang-realm creature?

There!

One of the Hellish Ants shouted via spiritual waves. That was an ant almost at the Bodhisattva level and the ants under his command were all at the golden arhat realm.

“Oh my, a group of demons has arrived. They’re so fierce and wish to kill me. Ship, kill them for me!” Xi shouted.

Boom!

Afterward, Chu Feng saw a beam of surging yang energy drown the area in front with terrifying energy waves. The group of Hellish Ants traversing was completely wiped out.

Pfft!

In the end, they were all killed!

What kind of ship was this? Chu Feng was shocked out of his wits and petrified.

The young girl comforted Chu Feng, “Don’t be afraid, little imp, I won’t harm you. This is my grandpa’s treasured ship. If the legends are true and this really is the netherworld, it won’t be a problem to kill them with this ship.”

Chu Feng made an immediate judgment that this girl must be of great status. She might be the descendant of a fierce character.

“Eh? The temperature hasn’t fallen much inside the cold room, but you can actually withstand it. That’s not quite right. Aren’t you a ghost? How come you’re not afraid of yang energy?” The girl was bewildered.

“I’m a living person. I come from the yang-realm!” Chu Feng spoke with spiritual fluctuations.

“Ah, that’s not possible. Let me check your temperature!” The girl put on a translucent golden glove which actually passed through the barrier and grabbed Chu Feng’s hand.

Apparently, the glove was a top-grade treasure!

Your temperature is so low. You’re clearly a dead person, a ghost!” She maintained a suspicious attitude and said thus.

“What little demon? If I’m really a demon, I would’ve been destroyed by the yang energy by now. I’m the descendant of a true immortal. Haven’t you heard of the Icy Jade Physique? That’s what I am. My body temperature is a bit lower than normal.” Chu Feng’s face was so thick that one could use it as armor.
