"Sister Yun Shang, please help me Genjutsu: Release on my old man."
Two days have passed since Xiao Tian left Flaming Mountains and the group rested for an hour before setting off again.
In the past two days, the Evolver from the Bodhi Group have tried numerous methods, but they have been unable to awaken Jiang Xinyan.
Although Jiang Zhexian wasn't in a hurry, seeing the group's brothers feeding and taking care of him every day, and remembering that the old man wasn't the type to cause trouble for others, she had no choice but to approach Yun Shang.
Xiao Tian looked at Jiang Xinyan, who was being fed water by the Bodhi Group's Evolver. Normally, after being under his Genjutsu: Tsukuyomi, it would take the old man three or four days to wake up.
"No." He said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhexian frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Sister Yun Shang, are you still angry with my master? I apologize on Xian'er behalf."
Xiao Tian looked at Jiang Zhexian and said indifferently, " The Genjutsu cast on Elder Jiang is of a different level than yours. If you don't want Elder Jiang's cultivation to be compromised in the future, I suggest you wait."
"Ah, this."
Jiang Zhexian nodded obediently; that was the only way.
"Young Miss, how is it?"
Jiang Zhexian briefly explained the situation and instructed, "The old man should wake up in about four days. I'll have to trouble everyone these next few days. Once we leave the Kunlun Mountain Range, the Jiang Family family and the group will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"Young Miss, you're being too polite. Many of my brothers were taught by Elder Jiang. Elder Jiang our teacher, and it's only right for students to take care of their teachers!"
"Yes, Miss, but given Elder Jiang's current situation, could it be that the woman is unwilling to dispel it? After all, breaking this kind of Genjutsu does require a significant expenditure of one's mental energy. Or perhaps that woman still harbors resentment towards our Elder Jiang."
Jiang Zhexian said in a low voice, "Alright, thank you everyone. I don't want anyone to speak ill of Sister Yun Shang anymore."
Chu Feng glanced at the Bodhi Group and felt a slight liking for Jiang Zhexian.
Chu Feng approached Yun Shang and asked, "Fairy, I have some questions about cultivation realms that I'd like to understand. I wonder if you could enlighten me?"
"Speak," Xiao Tian said indifferently.
Chu Feng was used to Fairy Yun Shang's aloof attitude, so he asked her about his confusion regarding the Shackle Realm, the Awakening Realm, and formations.
Not far away, Jiang Zhexian and the Evolver of the Bodhi Group couldn't help but prick up their ears, especially the latter. Although they still harbored resentment towards Fairy Yun Shang, they also felt great awe towards her.
After all, they were able to emerge from the Flaming Mountains riots unscathed and without any injuries, which demonstrated their terrifying strength. Any one of them would have been roasted to ashes long ago.
Chu Feng was asking about some of the problems they encountered on their cultivation path.
" To the Shackle Realm, one must shatter the Gene Lock within the body. The human body is a universe, containing immense potential. Whether one can break through the Shackle depends not only on talent, physique, external forces, and even one's own willpower and obsession, but also on the direction. Breaking through the Shackle requires acting according to one's ability, just like learning knowledge; one must start with the basics and then master the advanced..."
"I don't understand the Dao of Domain very well, but I've dabbled in it. Ancient books record that powerful array masters use extraterrestrial planets as array conductors, stars as array eyes, and the vast starry sky as a chessboard for battle, suppressing and killing ancient saints..."
"Breaking through the Shackle Realm and establishing a solid foundation in the Awakening Realm is crucial for long-term success. It's not necessarily about cultivating both internal and external aspects simultaneously; depending on one's talent, whether one pursues Attaining Sainthood through the Physical Body or the indestructible primordial spirit, both are correct paths to the pinnacle of cultivation..."
Xiao Tian rambled on and on, offering some simplistic and uninformed advice.
Chu Feng and the others listened with great interest and were very satisfied.
"As expected of a powerful figure who could make Elder Jiang suffer a setback! I've got it!" A member of the Bodhi Group's Evolver had his eyes shining, feeling the Shackle within his body breaking, Quasi-Shackle Realm.
Jiang Zhexian's beautiful eyes sparkled. Originally, she was still undecided about her cultivation direction. After all, her family elders had instilled in her a kind of perfect value system. However, she knew her own physical constitution and that her energy was limited if she pursued all-round development. Her talent was also constrained. In this great era, going faster and farther meant acquiring more resources.
Xiao Tian lectured for an hour, Chu Feng gained a great deal of insight.
Four days later, Old Jiang, Jiang Xinyan, woke up.
Upon waking, Jiang Xinyan began to eat and drink frantically. He had been trapped in the Land of Despair and Cold for far too long. What seemed like only a few days to outsiders was, in that illusion, a thousand or even ten thousand years.
"Fairy, your methods are truly remarkable. I was presumptuous; I hope you won't take it to heart."
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly, almost bursting out laughing. He wouldn't admit that he thought the old man was using an experience-boosting Baobao to farm points.
Based on the persona of Fairy Yun Shang, the ice and snow goddess, Xiao Tian ignored Jiang Xinyan.
Jiang Xinyan smiled awkwardly, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and turned to leave.
Jiang Zhexian arrived and bid farewell to Yun Shang.
"Sister Yun Shang, this is a token of my Jiang Family. With this, you can receive VIP treatment at any branch of the Bodhi Group or Jiang Family property, enjoying free accommodation and other expenses. I know this is nothing to you, but Xian'er don't have any other spiritual items that you would be interested in. I hope you will accept it."
Xiao Tian was very satisfied. This card was far more valuable than any spiritual item! After all, it meant that when he returned to the human city-state in the future, he could use this treasure to rack up a lot of points.
This is a powerful weapon!
"Um."
Jiang Zhexian was overjoyed to see that Sister Yun Shang had accepted her gift.
"Sister Yun Shang, until we meet again."
The Bodhi Group parted ways with Xiao Tian and the others, and Chu Feng led the way, continuing towards the place that had called him.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Kunlun Mountain Range, the Ghost-Faced Man killed many mutated animals of the Kunlun Mountain Range, turning them into immortal puppet evil beings.
"The target is in the Kunlun Mountain Range! Pursue!" The Ghost-Faced Man took out a small black sphere that looked like a radar and tossed it to several of his companions who had also arrived in this place.
"Only by killing this scoundrel can we return home!"
Three days later, Chu Feng felt the faint calling becoming more and more obvious and clear. He looked at the mountains in front of him, which were shrouded in misty clouds, with a solemn expression.
"These mountains are scattered throughout the Domain, large and small, numbering at least tens of thousands! Furthermore, there are many undiscovered folded spaces. These mountains are sealed off; it seems impossible to ascend them."
"Do we want to go in?" Xiao Tian asked.
Chu Feng stated frankly, "There is a calling within, but we should act according to our abilities and not rush in."
Chu Feng was well aware of just how terrifying this mountain was. This was only the tip of the iceberg, yet it contained tens of thousands of Domain and folded spaces that sealed away terrifying beings. If that mountain were to revive, the entire Kunlun Mountain Range would probably double in size.
This was still a conservative estimate on his part.
The Blue Star is now expanding at an alarming rate, with many folded spaces appearing, causing the continents, ley lines, and oceans to change at an incredibly rapid pace every single day, every minute, and every second.
Let's go, we'll come back here another time.
" Fengzi, what did you see? I think this mountain is just so-so, pretty much the same as the previous ones." Zhou Quan frowned.
The Yellow Ox looked at Zhou Quan with disdain and couldn't help but kick him.
"You little bastard, you've got a kicking addiction? Do you really think I, Fatty, have no temper?!" Zhou Quan roared in fury.
"Fatty, calm down. There are too many hidden dangers in this mountain. You'll understand later."
As Chu Feng spoke, he looked at Fairy Yun Shang and asked, "Fairy, I'm also lost about the path ahead. I wonder if your compass can detect evil spirits? Even if they're far away, we can go directly there. I've learned a lot from your explanations before."
Xiao Tian could tell that this guy was planning to fight, but the compass theory was also something he made up. However, he did know the general direction of the Ghost-Faced Man who was running away.
Xiao Tian pretended to take out a compass, then carefully examined the world map in his mind to determine the location of the Ghost-Faced Man who had left a small tail.
The red dot markings are very obvious.
"Goodness! It's quite far away, and it's still moving in a very distant direction, this..."
"Fairy, how is it?" Chu Feng asked.
The compass emitted a faint, eerie glow, pointing directly to the southwest. Xiao Tian looked at Chu Feng and said indifferently, "Southwest. Judging from the intensity of the light, it's very far away. It's still unclear whether it's an evil creature, a mutated monster, or a spirit."
"Since we have nothing else to do, let's go to the southwest. Fatty, do you have a problem with that?"
Zhou Quan shook his head and laughed, "We must help with such a momentous matter as eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path."
"Niu'er, what about you? Do you have any objections?"
Unable to resist, Yellow Ox kicked Zhou Quan Zhou Quan, who screamed in pain and uttered vulgarities.
Xiao Tian felt the distance was too far and suggested that they not go too fast, but rather go slowly to avoid expending too much energy. If they were killed instead of getting there, it would be a loss.
"Fairy, you're a professional!"
Seven days later, they were very close to their goal.
"It should take about half a day's journey to get there," Xiao Tian guessed.
" Fengzi, you fairy, look over there!"
Zhou Quan suddenly cried out in alarm.
Following the direction Zhou Quan pointed, Chu Feng looked and his eyes widened in shock.
On a distant mountain, a terrifyingly large yak confronts Golden-Winged Great Peng three times the size of a warship.
"The legendary Golden-Winged Great Peng?"
"My goodness! Fengzi, that yak is no ordinary creature! Even those mythical beings dare not attack it without permission. By the way, Ox, do you recognize that yak? You're both from the Ox tribe, you should know it."
The Yellow Ox was furious; he kicked and punched Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan screamed repeatedly.
Perhaps the black yak and the Golden-Winged Great Peng discovered Zhou Quan's situation, and the standoff ended, with them dispersing.
Xiao Tian pondered to himself, recognizing the two idiots. According to the Primordial Hongmeng Plan, these two simpletons had laid a lot of groundwork for Chu Feng's upgrade in the early stages and had made significant contributions to Chu Feng's growth.
Of course, this is also in accordance with the plan. After all, the strange existence in the Eternal Chaos has projected its power onto Blue Star, and may have even discovered the Primordial Hongmeng Plan.
"Looks like I'll have to keep up my Cao sword skills! This is the heavy responsibility of protecting the protagonist."
Suddenly, Xiao Tian had an idea.
Xiao Tian chose to change course, fearing that if Chu Feng were to run into the Ghost-Faced Man again so soon, Chu Feng's identity would be discovered prematurely.
This will have an extremely negative impact on Chu Feng's early development. Although his presence will greatly reduce the risk of Chu Feng's death, this is only the current situation.
Afterwards, the extraterrestrial saints pressed in, Blue Star was put on the defensive, leading to a chaotic situation.
Currently, he still needs to improve his own skills and reach an extremely high level as soon as possible.
Chu Feng had no doubts about the change of course, assuming that it was an evil entity that had altered the route.
Little did they know, Xiao Tian had chosen a hiding place for Chu Feng, a mini-boss.
Three thousand miles away from them, in a cave dwelling, lived a Golden-Furred Rat King had become a spirit.
Rats are a species that thrives on rapid reproduction and large numbers. In the human world, they are also one of the largest carriers of germs and viruses, making them a VIP resident group in sewers.
However, this Golden-Furred Rat King is different from the other rats. Its burrow is very well decorated and has accumulated a lot of jewels over the years. To put it bluntly, any poor person who comes here, digs up a gem, and returns to human society will immediately become a billionaire.
Rich! That's the label for the Golden-Furred Rat King!
Originally, it had many subordinates under its command, but the Rat King, who was extremely fastidious about cleanliness, found its slovenly subordinates too annoying and unworthy of living in its luxurious burrow, so it drove them away.
Since the cataclysmic changes in the world, it closed its entrance and lived a very comfortable rural life, relying on the produce and consumption within its underground cave.
The word "loneliness" simply doesn't exist in its dictionary, and it never feels lonely. Its daily schedule is always packed, and its days are filled with activity and fulfillment.
I take a three-hour nap, sleep for twelve hours at night, spend five hours caring for my fruit trees and garden, and take a one-hour shower each in the morning and before bed. Of the remaining four hours, I spend more than three hours on beauty treatments and relaxation, leaving only about ten minutes for contemplating life.
Strictly speaking, even a King Level creature would not be able to discover the Golden-Furred Rat King's burrow.
The rat subordinates he had previously driven away were mostly dead, and even if they returned, they would have a hard time finding the entrance.
Therefore, the Golden-Furred Rat King never expected that there would be intruders in his burrow.
It was unlucky; it had no idea it was being targeted.
On the grassland, Chu Feng was puzzled when he saw Fairy Yun Shang stop.
"Fairy, what have you discovered?"
Xiao Tian looked at the ground and said indifferently, "According to the compass, it's underground."
"That evil being is hiding underground?" Chu Feng asked in surprise.
"Are we going to dig it up?"
Xiao Tian remained silent, demonstrating his skill by using the Adamantine Staff, as a shovel.
Seeing how serious Fairy Yun Shang was, Chu Feng grabbed the Quasi-King Level Beast King horn he had collected along the way and started digging as well.
Zhou Quan scratched his head, realizing that he could only dig with his bare hands to ease his embarrassment.
The Yellow Ox looked at the three simpletons with disdain; it wouldn't do something as shameful as digging.
Chu Feng hadn't expected Fairy Yun Shang to be so serious; she was digging so fast that during his short break, he discovered Fairy Yun Shang had already dug a pit fifty or sixty meters deep.
"Speed up, it's right below, the compass is sensing something strongly," Xiao Tian reminded him.
"Okay, fairy, then I'll help you dig there."
As Xiao Tian dug, he used the world map in his mind to observe the hiding place of this little BOSS.
"I hadn't noticed before that this silly creature's nest was so deep down. Could it be a rat? Or maybe a rabbit? After all, even a cunning rabbit has three burrows and likes to dig underground."
Half an hour later, Chu Feng, Zhou Quan, and Xiao Tian worked together to dig a tunnel. Accompanied by a blinding golden light, they saw the barrier.
"Fairy, this barrier is blocking our way; we have no choice but to break through it!"
"It's not exactly a natural Domain; it's man-made." Chu Feng could tell at a glance.
" Fengzi, you do it."
Chu Feng shook his head and looked at Fairy Yun Shang, saying, "Fairy, why don't you do it? This barrier is stable, and even if I were to forcefully attack it, it would be difficult to break through. With your strength, Fairy, you can do it easily."
"Location."
Chu Feng picked up the beast horn and continued digging, searching. After a while, he found a point where he could attack: a point where the spiritual energy of the barrier circulated.
"Fairy, this is it! Make your move, don't hold back!" Zhou Quan shouted incoherently.
Xiao Tian was speechless. He had originally wanted to join in the commotion, but he couldn't accept it because of his current appearance and established image.
The Adamantine Staff, transformed into a celestial sword, pierced directly, causing the golden barrier to deflate as if absorbing air, and a strange fragrance gushed out from within.
"Go in!"
Everyone, including the Yellow Ox, was stunned by the magnificent golden interior as they passed through the barrier.
"This is a treasure trove! Just one of these gems could probably keep me eating and drinking my fill until I die."
"Wake up, Fatty. Times have changed. Money isn't what it used to be."
"That's true." Zhou Quan was still shocked by the situation here.
At this moment, the Golden-Furred Rat King, who was taking a bath, was stunned. It heard that its home had been attacked.
