The Sacred Ruins

Chu Feng asked again and again, yet the Little Daoist’s lips were shut.

The silver-haired little lolita immediately curled her lips and said, “What’s there to be kept secret about?”

In reality, Ying Zhexian and Qin Luoyin were looking at them, too. Ouyang Feng stretched his large long neck out even more as he was itching to spit at the Little Daoist for him to make it clear to them.

Chu Feng secretly transmitted his voice and said, “Son, if there really is a great use for this item, I might be able to pillage a batch of them.”

A batch!?

In a split second, the Little Daoist eyes went wide with a stunned look on his face as he stared at Chu Feng. After that, he thought of the circumstances when he first met Chu Feng. This item had sat beside that clay idol on top. This… really was frightening. The most crucial thing was that this biological father really had that kind of opportunity to do something like that!

He had initially been angered, but now he felt frightened and astonished after thinking it through in detail. This father who was a total mess of delicacy must definitely have a huge secret on him. If not, how could he initially run to the end of the Reincarnation Road and… hijack that area!

From his point of view, this was practically like the Arabian Nights. Peak powerhouses would be crushed if this was mentioned and after that… there was the possibility that no one dared to believe it.

“If you really can still go to that place, you have a way of obtaining supreme talisman paper?” This clearly aroused the Little Daoist’s attention.

“If there are still people passing by, I’ll launch a few sneak attacks again if worst comes to worst and raid them,” said Chu Feng in a relatively calm and natural manner.

At this moment, the Little Daoist felt a prick to his heart again and there was a look of hidden bitterness on his face. Not only did his eyes look as though flames were about to shoot out of them, but they were about to shoot blood very soon.

“What’s the background of your talisman paper?” Chu Feng asked again.

The LIttle Daoist didn’t want to acknowledge him again because he kept feeling injured.

In the end, he only reluctantly spoke after being questioned minutely again and again.

“It’s origins is borderless. World ranking powerhouses from that universe we came from joined hands and rose in revolt together to attack the first forbidden area that remained after the uncivilized primal chaotic era. They comprised of a few immortal ancient imperial courts as well as a sacred land that had millions upon millions of inheritances. In the end, the few most powerful orthodoxies were annihilated and only a few people walked out alive. Only then did they bring a black talisman paper out.

The words the Little Daoist said shocked them.

Even Chu Feng was speechless for a long time. Was it that incredible?

“I don’t know about other places, but a good deal of supreme powerhouses joined hands from that world of ours yet they still suffered a crushing defeat and only brought out an ancestral talisman like that,” stressed the Little Daoist.

“Is it that terrifying?” Chu Feng was suspicious.

“Yes. Maybe a few of the legendary Yang Realm experts who lived in seclusion for countless years could obtain a talisman paper in that kind of supreme forbidden land by joining hands together, but we definitely don’t have people at this rank in our world so it is incomparably difficult. If one manages to reach that stage, they could easily destroy the starry sea world,” said the Little Daoist.

“Where are you from?” asked Chu Feng.

“My world is adjacent to the Yang Realm, but it isn’t the Yang Realm. It has a similar scale to your universe, but it has a much stronger Yang qi.”

Such words shocked everyone.

Based on what he said, it was only a legend that the Yang Realm was grand and without boundaries. There was practically no way of going over there.

The Yang Realm was too mysterious and it was beyond one’s capability to understand it further.

On their end, the Primal Chaos was an obstruction and isolated them from the Yang Realm.

On the Primal Chaos end, there were a few slightly smaller universes like the Yin Realm Chu Feng was at, the Little Daoist’s world, as well as the dilapidated Primal Chaotic universe.

The Yang qi would be even denser when these places were arranged according to their distance from the Yang Realm from furthest to the nearest, but they weren’t as vast as the Yang Realm when all of them were added up on the whole. They couldn’t even compare to the most remote corner in the Yang Realm.

Generally speaking, the amount of Yang qi in these worlds bordering the Primal Chaos didn’t matter because in reality, they were Netherworld Soils in the eyes of the most ancient experts in the Yang Realm; they were spaces that had slightly more Yin qi and were collectively known as the Yin Realm.

“The experts from the Yang Realm can’t come over. If not, no one can stop them in their footsteps,” said the Little Daoist.

In reality, time had slipped away and many years had elapsed. Other than the most ancient existences in the Yang Realm, normal people couldn’t be certain whether the Yang Realm really existed.

There was a kind of theory that those from the Yin Realm were all dead and were living beings that came into being from obsessions; they weren’t considered to be people who were truly alive.

There was another kind of theory that those from the Yang Realm accidentally brought the evolution and civilization of the Yin Realm when they crossed realms. All of which were shattered and there was simply no way of comparing it to the Yang Realm; there was far too great of a discrepancy that it was as different as heaven and earth.

Naturally, this Yin Realm encompassed the world the Little Daoist was at as well as the dilapidated universe in the Primal Chaos.

The worlds on the Primal Chaos’ end were known as the Yang Realm and the Netherworld Soil.

What the Little Daoist said stirred the emotions of Chu Feng and the rest very much.

The grand world stage was at the Yang Realm; that was where “living people” should stay; it was where genuine geniuses from the Yang Realm moved unhindered and that place where powerhouses competed against one another.

Perhaps in the eyes of the most ancient experts from the Yang Realm, the Yin Realm was only the most barren land that fell behind. It was the place where dead spirits went to rest and was considered to be a cemetery devoid of any genuine evolution and cultivation that could be spoken about.

“Forget it. Don’t talk about these. It’s annoying. We’ll talk more about it when we personally go to the Yang Realm someday to contend for hegemony and ascend to the true great stage,” said Chu Feng.

“Father, you’re certain you can still run to the Reincarnation Road and repeat what you did over and over again?” The Little Daoist looked hopeful. He felt his soul light leap at an impressive rate and even his soul blood was about to boil.

If one could wall along all of the Reincarnation Road, it would practically be unimaginable as it defied the natural law of the world far too much.

“It is extremely difficult and I had a narrow escape, but I reckon I definitely have the chance to do so if I forcibly charge my way through,” replied Chu Feng.

The Little Daoist was petrified because based on what he knew and the written accounts in ancient books from various former virtuous people in that world where he was from, even the most ancient experts from the Yang Realm might not necessarily dare to repeat this over and over again.

“Do you know how the Reincarnation Road came to be? Did it form naturally, or did it appear through other means?” Chu Feng asked him.

“The secrets surrounding the intricacies of this place run far too deep. Don’t look into it. At the very least, there are only a few words and phrases in our world. They didn’t even dare to truly write it down, so it’s very unclear. After someone died in the Yang Realm, they revived in our world and became a “living dead person”. Based on the analysis conducted into what he said as well as the personal letters he left behind in our world after he died in a seated posture, there are extremely few experts from the Yang Realm who know the truth. It is a tightly kept secret that no one must know about.”

Since this father wanted to return his black talisman paper and he would possibly have to join hands with this father to go to the Reincarnation Road to do a great matter that surpassed the ancients and dazzled contemporaries, the Little Daoist didn’t conceal it anymore and spoke about many circumstances he knew about.

“Who modelled that clay idol? What is the use of putting him there? Is it for him to enjoy the occasional respectful offerings of talisman papers and burning of joss sticks once every millions of years?”

“That clay idol might not necessarily be a dead object. It might be alive.” The Little Daoist told Chu Feng in a very nervous manner. It was best not to mention that person anymore.

Based on what he said, if that Reincarnation Road really was a man-made arrangement, that clay idol was definitely one of the participants. Just thinking about it was terrifying.

It wasn’t enough to say that a man-made Reincarnation Road was in defiance of the natural order of the world.

“The few ancient imperial courts and the most powerful sacred lands of our world joined hands to attack the first forbidden area of my world. It was with much difficulty that they brought out a black talisman paper. They could walk on the Reincarnation Road with their memories only by having this kind of certificate of qualifications on them. It’s that difficult to obtain it and you can see how this is a terrifying item in a big scheme.”

The Little Daoist said that a few of the most powerful influential forces in his world had been annihilated and their halberds were skewered in the forbidden land that was left behind during the era of the uncivilized primal chaos.

In the end, a small gathering of people escaped, and other than bringing out a black talisman paper, they once informed their future generation that reincarnation was only a corner of a terrifying truth; there were too many hidden secrets. Even if they could be known as a deity of their world one day and felt that they were supremely powerful, under no circumstances should they look into things that were at an even deeper level.

“Do you think it’s easy to scare me?” Ouyang Feng cast sidelong glances as he spat out a mouthful of saliva. He immediately felt that something was wrong since this was soul light and spiritual energy, so he immediately sucked it back in again.

This really destroyed the mood. The few of them felt unbearable following this kind of movement of his and immediately broke away from that previous kind of emotional state.

The Little Daoist finally sighed and said, “I have a secret concern in my heart. I only stepped on the Reincarnation Road in order to become strong enough to go to the Yang Realm one day. This is because based on some version of events, the world we are at will be faced with a calamity in the end.”

“What do you mean?” asked the silver-haired little lolita.

“This existence will vanish in the end. A few phrases were only written down on a badly damaged armor unearthed from that world of ours. It said that only the Yang Realm Seed will be able to survive. Those who wish to emerge will have to have the Yang Realm Seed.”

“Hmm!?” Even Ying Zhexian had a look of shock on her face as she could no longer maintain an appearance of tranquility and being detached from worldly affairs.

“You’re referring to the bizarre seed when you talk about the so-called Yang Realm Seed?” asked Chu Feng asked because he had three Yang Realm Seeds on him. It was a matter that concerned him greatly!

“The so-called ‘seed’ is referring to evolvers and order,” replied the Little Daoist.

Chu Feng was startled as this was different from what he imagined.

On the other hand, the others felt a chill run through their hair and bones as they experienced a great fright.

“Calm down. There is nothing to be alarmed about. Remain inner peace. Any hardship and misery isn’t a problem. We can safely get through anything,” said Chu Feng.

He was as pleasant as a good day and assumed a very calm appearance as he educated the Little Daoist; he looked rather like a compassionate father and elder.

Ying Zhexian and Qin Luoyin secretly nodded. This kind of character Chu Feng adopted really gave him points.

Ouyang Feng curled his lips as he really wanted to say, “You’re a human trafficker!”

The Little Daoist also wanted to shout, “Do I, the Little Daoist, still need you to feed me motivational quotes that serve the opposite purpose? The words from my mouth are incantations and my incantations are divine techniques!”

Chu Feng gently smiled as he was increasingly aloof, unperturbed, and tranquil.

Bang! After that, a blood-colored bolt of lightning struck down from the firmament and exploded on his head. The sight before his eyes went dark and he saw stars right away; he almost fainted.

Whoosh! The Little Daoist scuttled away immediately and kept a great distance away from him.

Those on the scene were stunned. After that, they saw lightning bolts striking down one after the other; all of which exploded on Chu Feng’s body.

Chu Feng was flustered and exasperated. What was going on? Why was he being struck by lightning again!?

In a split second, he put any indifference, calmness, and compassionate father to the side. He was now extremely furious. It was really like a slap to his own face for a flurry of lightning bolts to strike him at this kind of moment.

The Little Daoist smilled from afar and felt that some of the melancholic air in his heart had finally been released as he said, “You’re being struck by lightning for putting on a pretense, from your head all the way to your small private part!”

Ouyang Feng was initially stunned looking at Chu Feng, but after that, he burst out in incessant laughter as he said, “You have to keep a low profile and can’t forget your roots. Do you know what karma is?”

After that, he started singing as he rejoiced in Chu Feng’s misfortune, “There is reincarnation in the heavenly law. Who does the the firmament pardon?”

After that, a thick green lightning suddenly descended from the sky. He was in a muddled state as the bolt of lightning struck him directly on the head before he was covered in green light from head to toe.

Ouyang Feng let out a blood-curdling screech as he fled in disarray over there. He was in excruciating pain that was difficult to endure.

The Little Daoist was very calm and collected as he softly hummed, “There is reincarnation in the heavenly law. Who does the the firmament pardon?”
