Other Shore Flower on the Yellow Springs Road

"Huang... Yellow Springs Road!"

Upon hearing those three words, Bai Long instinctively took a half-step back. He was currently only a soul, and if he reached the Yellow Springs Road, he would never be able to return to reality.

He didn't want to die here for no reason. There were still his followers outside, and as long as their prayers were strong enough, he could rebuild his body.

Seeing Bai Long's appearance, Rocket Turtle couldn't help but sneer, "Are you serious about taking that half-step back?"

???

Bai Long looked helpless. "Fellow Daoist, it's not that I'm afraid of death, but this is not a place for a soul like mine to stay."

Chu Feng didn't say a word from beginning to end, but silently activated the Eye of World Destruction, wanting to see the true nature of the Yellow Springs Road.

Unfortunately, the Eye of World Destruction was of little use under the laws of the True God; before them lay only an endless Yellow Springs Road.

He frowned slightly, then said with interest, "This is interesting. It's been a long time since I've encountered a situation that requires me to use my brain."

Upon hearing this, Bai Long asked timidly, "Your Highness, can you break through this Yellow Springs Road?"

Chu Feng smiled and said, "If that True God were still alive, I would naturally turn around and leave. Now that he is no longer in this world, leaving only a trace of divine power and laws, I can still break through this Yellow Springs Road if I go all out."

"Your Highness truly deserves to be called the greatest Half-Saint of our time."

Bai Long subtly flattered him.

Rocket Turtle rolled its eyes at the guy. "Do you think a mere spirit like you can do something like this?"

It should have been something I, Rocket Turtle, did!

Chu Feng did not respond to Bai Long, but simply sat cross-legged and began reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"When Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress. Sariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this..."

He chanted the scriptures very slowly, as if each word was being recited with all his might.

But each word that appears emits a ray of Buddhist light, adding a touch of life to this world of the dead.

Time passed second by second.

The Yellow Springs Road also underwent a dramatic transformation amidst the chanting of sutras.

Just as Chu Feng finished chanting the sutra, the Yellow Springs Road in front of them disappeared, and what came into view was a desolate courtyard.

In the very center of this courtyard, a beautiful and alluring flower is in full bloom.

For some unknown reason, Bai Long felt his soul dissipate and as if the flower was about to take him away after just one glance at it.

"Your Highness... there's something wrong with these flowers."

Chu Feng said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with it. If I'm not mistaken, this flower should be the legendary Other Shore Flower, which grows on the other side of the Yellow Springs. This flower is a symbol of the dead. Although your soul has not perished, the Other Shore Flower is your natural enemy."

Upon hearing this, Rocket Turtle instinctively asked, "Sir, does this mean the wandering soul can only end here?"

"Not necessarily. As long as I accept this Other Shore Flower, he can continue to guide us."

As Chu Feng spoke, he stood up and walked towards the Other Shore Flower.

With each step he took, Chu Feng felt the vitality around him diminish. If he continued at his current pace, he might not even reach the other Other Shore Flower before his life force was completely devoured by Other Shore Flower.

Thinking of this, Chu Feng stopped in his tracks, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Although he had read about the Other Shore Flower in the ancient books of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, there was no method for picking Other Shore Flower.

Half an hour later, Chu Feng still hadn't come up with a perfect solution.

Since we can't solve it by using our brains, we'll take action ourselves.

He took out his sword from his storage ring.

Clang!

Chu Feng drew his sword and casually swung it, slashing at the branch of the Other Shore Flower.

Clang!

Before the Sword Qi could even touch the Other Shore Flower, it was blocked by an invisible wall.

"How is this possible?"

Rocket Turtle couldn't help but gasp at the sight. In its mind Chu Feng was the epitome of omnipotence, yet now he was being blocked by a flower.

"That's interesting."

Chu Feng wasn't surprised at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"

Chu Feng unleashed his full power, slashing once more at the branch of the Other Shore Flower lily.

In an instant, ten thousand swords flew through the entire small world, finally converging into a single sword that crashed down with a deafening roar.

Clang!!!

As the sword fell, the Other Shore Flower slowly drifted to the ground.

Upon seeing Other Shore Flower, Chu Feng immediately reached out and grabbed the beautiful and alluring flower.

Even though he had already picked the flower, he could still sense an Extreme Yin, death-like Power of Law emanating from it.

"Luckily, this flower didn't develop sentience, otherwise there would have been no way to deal with it."

After muttering something to himself, he placed the Other Shore Flower into a box and then put it into his storage ring.

Let's go.

"Yes."

Bai Long responded and walked towards Chu Feng's side. At this moment, he felt as if he had survived a calamity, and at the same time, he was extremely excited. He was finally going to see the treasures in the Fifth Palace.

Chu Feng and his group passed through the courtyard and left the Fourth Palace, continuing their journey towards the Fifth Palace.

A moment later, the group arrived outside the Fifth Palace.

Before even entering, Chu Feng sensed a powerful aura emanating from the Fifth Palace, an aura whose owner was in no way inferior to the old dean.

Sensing this aura, he murmured, "Is there Saint Realm expert guarding this palace?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Long trembled involuntarily and asked weakly, "Should we still go in?"

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Even if there is Saint Realm expert in charge, he is just a dead Saint Realm. If he were still alive, you would be dead long ago."

Bai Long nodded. "That's true, but I wonder what kind of being that Saint Realm being is."

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"

Chu Feng was the first to step into the palace gate, followed closely by Bai Long and Rocket Turtle.

Upon entering the main hall, everyone, including Chu Feng, froze on the spot.

In the very center of this palace stood a skeleton tens of feet tall.

Even though it is dead, its sacred aura still makes people want to kneel down and worship it.

Bai Long looked at the withered bones and exclaimed in surprise, "Qilin one guarding this palace is actually a Saint Realm Qilin!"

"What a pity."

Chu Feng had never seen Qilin in reality in either of his two lifetimes.

He began searching for the source of that holy aura, and finally found a dull beast core inside the Qilin's head. The holy aura they had just felt was emanating from this beast core.

Without saying a word, Chu Feng flew towards the Qilin's head. After landing, he grabbed the beast core, which was the size of an adult's head.

Just as his hand touched the beast core, a sudden change occurred in the palace...
