In the foreign lands, thousands of years had passed. Many geniuses had risen, and many beauties had aged. This world had changed generation after generation, and there weren't many who could leave their mark.
As for Chu Feng and the other guests, they kept a low profile and had always been cultivating in seclusion. The natives hadn't attacked them for a long time, and they had already experienced their power.
Chu Feng put down the mottled scroll and stood up from the ancient tree. Time hadn't left any traces on his face. He was still young, but his eyes had become much more profound.
During these years, he had mainly comprehended secret techniques, flipped through imperial scriptures, analyzed breathing techniques, and researched all kinds of profound and unfathomable ancient books.
The most important thing was to recuperate his body and spirit, allowing his exhausted body to rest and cool down his boiling vital factors to reach the most ideal state in preparation for his next advancement.
The mountain peak he was on was relatively quiet, and few people came to disturb him. As he walked down the mountain, he discovered that there was a valley in the distance that seemed to be shaking. Rocks were tumbling and the mountain was cracking.
Within the valley, there was a raven-black yak breathing in and out. Every time it breathed, it would cause the valley to rumble. Just a little bit of force would cause the valley to crack.
The black yak was truly worthy of his name. He was so tall that he couldn't be any taller. After revealing his true form, he was like a pitch-black mountain that filled most of the valley.
Chu Feng walked over, took off the diamond chakram from his wrist, and threw it onto the black yak's body. Dao patterns circulated around it, causing the black yak to let out a loud moo. Even his mountainous black body began to tremble as if he couldn't bear the pressure.
"It's too heavy. You're already a quasi-Great Universe level, yet you're pressing your dao weapon on me. Are you trying to eat beef patties?" the black yak shouted.
His true form was covered in shiny black hair that was as dense as a waterfall. White mist gushed out from his nose and mouth, and the bones in his body were crackling.
"I have to be strict in order to make you stronger. Moreover, I didn't use any quasi-Great Universe magic power." Chu Feng left.
Before long, he arrived near a pond. Ouyang Dalong was lying beside the pond like a toad, sleeping soundly.
Chu Feng picked him up and threw him into an abyss not far away. Inside, a chilly wind blew and ghosts wept and gods howled.
"What the hell? I can even dream that I've once again entered the naturally formed Nine Hell Yin Palace and started cultivating again? Ah, this isn't a dream. Who threw me down? Save me! "Ouyang Toad screamed.
Not long after, Chu Feng went to see the Six-Eared Macaque siblings. They were sitting cross-legged in the Essence of Fire of Extreme Yang, cultivating in a very serious manner.
After Chu Feng walked over, he looked at them again and again before finally making a move on Mi Tian. He was too embarrassed to touch his little sister.
He took out the Time Furnace, opened it, and threw the monkey inside without igniting the flame.
"Howl!" Monkey's hair stood on end.
How could he not understand the origins of this furnace? It had refined a Dao Ancestor to death not long ago! Now, everyone in the Heavenly Court knew that it was a cremation furnace!
"Great Demon Chu, you've finally laid your hands on me!" The monkey was filled with grief and indignation.
"Being willing to help others is a noble virtue. I'll help you sharpen it. You don't have to thank me, brother!" Chu Feng turned around and left.
All these years, he didn't even let go of the Yellow Cattle. He was also strictly supervising it. From time to time, he would throw a bolt of lightning at it, blasting its snow-white Qilin body until it was charred black.
Of course, the most miserable one was Zi Luan. This proud little bird loved to be lazy and didn't like cultivating. It had long forgotten what she had said.
Chu Feng didn't stand on ceremony. Every time he saw it, he would directly suppress it with a dense bolt of lightning. The proud little bird screamed incessantly, covered in lightning, trembling and in a mess.
Under a broken cliff, the strongest direct descendant of the Li Clan in this era — Li Jiuxiao — was waving his magic sword and constantly stabbing at the void.
The sword light rushed to the sky and tore the blue dome of heaven apart. He was covered in nomological runes that spread outwards, causing the world to rumble as if it would explode at any time.
Chu Feng was very familiar with him. Back when he came to the Yang Realm, the first people he met in the Great Wilderness were Li Jiuxiao and Ji Caixuan.
At that time, those two could be said to be very famous. They were both ranked among the ten strongest Divine Kings in the Yang Realm and could be said to be famous in the world.
The scenes of their encounter back then were still in front of him. Chu Feng didn't think that he had become enemies with Li Jiuxiao, but that encounter wasn't very harmonious.
At this moment, seeing Li Jiuxiao dancing with his sword below, Chu Feng raised his hand and controlled the laws of heaven and earth. Then, like a downpour, a large number of runes poured down and drowned him.
"It's you again …" Li Jiuxiao waved his magic sword and blasted out lightning to resist the rain of nomological light. The fight caused the sky and earth to collapse. Flowing light broke the dam, and vast energy was everywhere.
As long as he came face to face with Chu Feng, Li Jiuxiao's anger would surge and he couldn't help but go crazy. Even if the other party was already a quasi-Great Universe level, he wasn't afraid.
The main thing was that the grudge back then was too big. He felt that the demon in front of him was the most despicable and had never been a good person since he was young.
He would never forget the scene when he was attacked by a sleeping monster after his battle with Ji Caixuan. He was heavily injured and fell under a cliff.
That young boy appeared and hummed, "A rain drenches a season …"
Back then, Demon Chu was still in the state of a child. He was singing these words and then he was drenched in rain.
Li Jiuxiao was practically vomiting blood back then. He was actually drenched in the urine of a little boy. Because of this, he raised his sword and searched the great wilderness for several years, wanting to take revenge.
"It was all a misunderstanding back then. You're thinking too much." Chu Feng turned around and left. Of course, he didn't forget to pour down an endless rain of nomological light to drown the other party.
"Ah … Demon Chu!" Li Jiuxiao shouted.
In the distance, Ji Caixuan saw this scene and pursed her lips. Then, she sighed with emotion. Time passed so quickly. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
When she first saw Chu Feng, he was still a child who wasn't very kind. In the blink of an eye, he was about to break through to the Great Cosmos Realm. This made her sigh with emotion.
Just as she was lost in thought, a ball of flame fell from the sky and covered the mountain she was on. The entire mountain turned into magma and evaporated.
"A diluted wisp of the Ancient Cosmic Flame?" Ji Caixuan cried out in alarm. Apparently, Demon Chu had no tender feelings for the fairer sex. He treated everyone equally and directly burned her with dao flames, forcing her to dig out her greatest potential.
In a split second, she was flustered. Even though the nomological laws were like rainbows and the dao patterns were like rain, she couldn't completely block the suppression of a quasi-Great Cosmos Realm entity.
Almost in an instant, a lock of her beautiful hair was burned. She couldn't help but scream, "Demon Chu!"
Chu Feng didn't pay attention to her. He waved his sleeves and left behind a ball of flame before drifting away.
Before long, Chu Feng appeared on a bare stone mountain. There was a young man sitting cross-legged there. He was indeed extraordinary. There were dao patterns all over his body, and he was comprehending the origin of the Great Dao. It was really rare to be able to do so at this age.
Of course, Chu Feng didn't think of himself as a young man. Compared to a demon like him, the brilliance of others would naturally be overshadowed.
Only when the young man opened his eyes and ended his comprehension did Chu Feng make a move. This time, he flipped his hand and burned this man with the flames of the Great Sky.
"Great Sky, someone said that you're my son. What do you think?" Chu Feng asked.
In the terrifying flames, the young man's momentum was like a demon god's as he resisted the flames of the Great Dao. After hearing such words, his mind almost went into chaos and his body dried up.
"Who said that? Aren't you the one who spoke nonsense?!" Great Sky was furious because this Demon Chu had said this more than once.
"Think about it. Back then, when I came out from the end of reincarnation and entered the Yang Realm, some of the rare materials I brought with me leaked out and coincidentally landed on a nine-orifice strange stone. It could be said that the heaven and earth resonated and caused the divine egg within the stone to come into being in advance. That's how you came into being.
"If I think about it carefully, I'm the heaven and that strange stone is the earth. Heaven and earth resonated and gave birth to you. Tell me, are you my child?" Chu Feng asked.
"Ah, ah, ah …" Great Sky was furious. He screamed and resisted the flames of the Great Sky with all his might. He wanted nothing more than to kill his way out and fight to the death with Demon Chu.
Even though he knew that he couldn't resist a single finger of that demon, he couldn't help but be angry.
…
Chu Feng traveled all over the place. Whether it was familiar people or unfamiliar outstanding talents, he would take action whenever he saw them. He made these people sink into an abyss of suffering and sharpen themselves under the terrifying demonic might.
Before long, he left alone and headed toward the depths of the foreign realm. He went to that forbidden area.
In the past, there was once a hunchback who held a talisman and smiled at him. It was incomparably strange and made him tremble with fear.
Time flowed by. Even the strange dao ancestor sleeping in this forbidden area had been destroyed by Nine Daoyi and Gu Qing. Not to mention other creatures, this place was completely empty.
However, there was great danger in the cave in the depths of the forbidden area.
There were ruins and dao palaces here. There was also an indescribable material entangled with the origin of this world.
Chu Feng went deep underground and felt the undulations of the vast ocean of time. He saw the eternal stars disintegrating, all living things withering, and all living beings dying.
That was the scene of the past. Once, a great evolved civilization had been destroyed and only a small part of it remained.
Back then, this evolved civilization made even the peerless strange dao ancestor feel apprehensive. He suppressed and destroyed everything regardless of the cost. It naturally had its glorious days in the past.
"Time matter!" Chu Feng said softly, sighing softly.
In the depths of the underground was a space that already didn't belong to the present world but transcended the outside world. Wisps of supreme laws flowed about, and there were remnants of the great world's origin. Time matter pervaded the air. This was a dangerous and extremely complicated chaotic land.
Here, time was chaotic, the flow of time abnormal.
The reason why the foreign realm was like this was because of this place.
Chu Feng listened to Nine Daoyi and Gu Qing's advice. Only when he became a quasi-Great level creature did he come here to collect the world's rare ancestral matter -- time.
There were secrets here and incomparably terrifying auras left behind. It wasn't as simple as just the strange dao ancestor.
According to what Nine Daoyi said, he had seen the trajectory of a yellowing letter here. It flickered past this place, carrying heaven overflowing time matter as it landed in the distance.
Nine Daoyi speculated that back then, at the edge of the Little Yin Realm, in the wooden city where the chaotic universe was located, the letter he saw should have passed by this place before.
That was why the time here was chaotic. It was very likely that someone purposely guided the time matter that poured down from that person's letter.
An unmatched creature among unmatched creatures. The letter he sent back roamed the sea of time, passing through all obstructions. Not only were there people who coveted its contents, there were even past dao ancestors who wanted to absorb a bit of power to comprehend unmatched wondrous methods.
Chu Feng sighed. Just how powerful was this? A single letter could do this?
However, when he thought about it carefully, it made sense. He didn't know where that person was, whether he was in ancient history, whether he was in the present world, it was impossible to predict. The letter he sent back definitely had to carry endless time matter, and only then could it break through time!
Chu Feng successfully absorbed enough time ancestral matter, making the wondrous technique sublimate on the spot. A nine-colored light wheel appeared behind him, its power incomparably grand!
This had long exceeded the scope of the original wondrous technique, already becoming his own supreme secret technique.
In reality, just the time wondrous technique itself could already be ranked among the top three offensive techniques. Now, Chu Feng's nine-colored light wheel already included this path.
Of course, any path depended on who walked it. There were some who only controlled time, a single path asking for the end of the path, becoming unmatched under the heavens, this wasn't necessarily impossible.
Chu Feng wasn't in a hurry to leave. He was observing this special region where the ancestral matter and the great world's source tangled together. There were still … wisps of End of the Path laws there?!
Then, he was a bit horrified. The flow of time inside was too chaotic.
In most regions, the flow of time was slow, almost still. It should be even more astonishing than the foreign realm.
There was another region that was the complete opposite. When one approached it slightly, they would feel time flow crazily, the years ruthlessly cutting down, immediately feeling as if the world had changed.
"In this core region, the flow of time is different at different nodes, even opposing each other. It really is terrifying. If one doesn't make proper preparations, even if an extremely powerful evolved being enters, something unexpected might happen!"
The region where the flow of time was slow was one thing, it couldn't harm him.
However, there was another region that was seizing time. If one rashly charged in, they might quickly enter middle age from a youth, or even old age.
Chu Feng was horrified. He didn't continue exploring, quickly withdrawing.
He believed that if he could refine the core region's source, it would definitely become a terrifying time treasure.
If that kind of thing were to really strike an evolved being, it would probably corrode his lifespan until it dried up, turning him into a skeleton, and then into flying ashes.
After calculating the time, he felt that it was time to return to the Yang Realm and evolve once again. After so many years of "cooling down", his body had already recovered to a state with abundant potential.
A cosmic level entity!
Next, he was going to enter that realm. It was just that he didn't know whether he would encounter the serious problem of "decay" that stumped everyone.
During the past thousand years, many people had gone out, such as Zhou Xi, Old Gu, and the black yak.
Almost no one chose to advance in the foreign realm. Once they felt that their condition was good enough, they would temporarily return to the Yang Realm to eat mutant fruits and absorb pollen to break through.
After stabilizing their cultivation and settling for a period of time, those who left would return.
This was the pros and cons of the pollen path. Once the body's condition could keep up, coupled with the rare pollen, there would be a chance to transform and advance to the next level.
But normally, the body had to go through a long period of recuperation after each transformation. It needed to cool down and let its potential completely recover. Otherwise, it would damage one's dao foundation. If one continued to forcefully evolve, it would put one on a dead end. It could be said that it had extremely harsh requirements!
Therefore, to the creatures of the pollen path in the outside world, the foreign realm was definitely a supreme pure land. It could even be considered a supreme holy land!
It effectively overcame the drawbacks of the pollen path, shortened the cooling time, and greatly changed the uncertain process that evolvers needed time to endure and waste away.
During this period of time, although some people were in seclusion in the foreign realm, Chu Feng didn't see them more than a few times.
For example, Ying Xiaoxiao and Qin Luoyin were cultivating in Yaoyao's seclusion grounds. They were using her dao grounds to erase the gray matter's corrosion.
There was even a period of time when Li Jiuxiao wanted to run to Yaoyao's dao grounds. That was because he got impulsive every time he saw Chu Feng, but he couldn't beat him.
Big Sky also wanted to escape. The main reason was that he was very worried that someone would try to blackmail him and force him to be his "old father".
This was the first time in a thousand years that Chu Feng wanted to leave the foreign realm. The higher the level of evolution, the more shocking the cooling time needed.
In reality, if he hadn't accidentally found the Reincarnation Lotus of Myriad Tribulations on the reincarnation path and absorbed the heavenly liquid, as well as the stone zither's resonance, he would need even longer time.
Back then, the Zhou clan had warned him that he needed several thousand years of quiet cultivation and not to break through impulsively. It wasn't a joke, but a very serious matter.
Since five hundred years ago, when Yaoyao became a true Great Universe level entity, Chu Feng had used the stone jar to suppress her. He carefully activated the stone zither and helped her to resonate and baptize her dao body.
He reckoned that Yaoyao cultivated several systems at the same time. In addition, her true body had cooled down since ancient times. It could be said that her foundation was extremely deep and shocking. If she continued to cultivate in the foreign realm, he believed that when she came out of seclusion, she would have a chance of reaching the level of a supreme true immortal.
Therefore, Chu Feng had to seize the moment. He also had to rise rapidly!
This time, there weren't many people going back with Chu Feng. Those who stayed behind would inevitably go to Yaoyao's dao grounds.
In reality, after a thousand years of adaptation, many people could gradually resist the corrosion of the gray matter. This was another kind of tempering.
Zhou Xi had been waiting for Chu Feng for a long time. She was going to embark on the return journey with him.
After a thousand years, she didn't age because she was already a supreme divine king. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to enter the Celestial Venerable Domain.
It was somewhat unrealistic to want to break through at this age. Even though Lady Xi's talents were astonishing, she still couldn't be considered an anomaly recorded in the history books.
It was already rare to see one or two monsters like Chu Feng.
In the Yang Realm, the mountains were lofty and the spiritual energy was dense. The immortal matter was dense and steaming. It was even more suitable for cultivation than before.
"Before the great chaos, there must be great brilliance? Before the great destruction, there must be great prosperity? "Chu Feng said softly.
He steered the warship and brought Zhou Xi back to the Yang Realm.
He broke through the void along the way, and the fragments of time surged behind the ship. The first thing he did upon returning was to go to a special small village to see if the two were still there.
"No need to go. Let's return to the celestial heavens." Nine Daoyi transmitted his voice. He had already sensed that Chu Feng had returned.
Chu Feng's body stiffened. Then, without a moment's delay, he rushed back to Summer Province like a bolt of lightning. He entered the celestial heavens and immediately went to find Nine Daoyi and Gu Qing.
"We deduced it with the Dao ancestors' divine abilities." Nine Daoyi told him the truth directly.
Even though he was mentally prepared and had discovered the flaw before he left, Chu Feng's eyes still felt warm after hearing it.
Everything was fake. It was the two Dao ancestors who cut off all their obsessions in order to perfect his mental state.
"In life, not everything goes as one wishes. There will always be regrets of one kind or another." Gu Qing sighed softly.
He then added, "Not finding them doesn't mean that the two are no longer there. Perhaps they just haven't awakened the memories of their past lives. If fate wills it, we will meet again in the future."
Nine Daoyi nodded and then told him that although what he saw was fake, it was based on real deductions.
As a Dao ancestor who had been to the Lesser Yin Realm and captured the trajectory of time, he had long understood what kind of people Chu Feng's parents were.
Through Nine Daoyi and Gu Qing's deductions, if he found Chu Zhiyuan and Wang Jing, it would most likely be the scene Chu Feng saw in that small village.
"You have to believe that the Dao Ancestor's true deduction came from stepping into the river of time. Even though what you saw were two fake people, if you truly found them, the two of them would most likely say similar words. The truth is not fake." Nine Daoyi said.
"I believe you!" Chu Feng wiped away his tears and bowed to the two seriously.
"I'm going to evolve!" Chu Feng turned and walked out. At this stage, he did not lack evolutionary resources. Not to mention the support of the Celestial Court, Li Xu had given him six pieces of Great Universe Mutant Soil during his wedding.
What Chu Feng had to consider now was which world to choose for the seed in the stone jar to sprout.
According to ancient records, evolvers often advanced in different worlds, which would be of great benefit to their future.
"It's been a thousand years, and neither of you have any children?" Gu Qing mentioned this matter and reminded Chu Feng that it would be even more difficult to evolve now and become a Great Universe Lifeform.
Chu Feng was fine, but Zhou Xi's face was already red. At the same time, she felt a little regretful.
"It's okay, don't feel pressured. Keep it up, you still have another thousand years," Nine Daoyi … encouraged.
This time, even Chu Feng wanted to roll his eyes, let alone Zhou Xi. He wanted to escape. Weren't the two Dao ancestors too "down to earth"? Two old geezers!
Nine Daoyi said, "I'm not joking. In the most ancient times, even true immortal beings, or even the strongest in the Immortal King Realm, had given birth to future Imperial Princes."
"That's right, there's no rush. Who knows, there might be a surprise in the future. Back then, I personally interfered with the bloodline inheritance of a Celestial Emperor. Because of my help, an Imperial Prince was born." The dog emperor came out of nowhere.
It stared at Chu Feng and Zhou Xi, seemingly very interested.
"Do you want me to concoct some nourishing medicine for you? It's strong, and you'll definitely have descendants. I'll name it Imperial Medicine!"
Zhou Xi grabbed Chu Feng's hand and ran away.
Chu Feng also felt that this dog was not reliable, so he did not want to take its messy medicine.
"Don't run, I don't even bother with ordinary people. I'm only interested because I see a chance of giving birth to a special bloodline."
…
After making sufficient preparations, Chu Feng was about to advance into the Great Cosmos Realm.
However, he still asked the two Dao Ancestors for advice on which world was more special and suitable for him to evolve in.
At this point, the two old monsters already knew that he definitely had many secrets, but they did not ask.
Nine Daoyi muttered to himself, then pointed to a lost world.
Gu Qing's expression changed, and he said, "That place is too dangerous. It's adjacent to an ominous place and too close to the darkness!"
Nine Daoyi said, "It's because it's close to those fallen universes that it's suitable for him. It'll allow him to understand some of the secrets of the eerie in the process of evolution."
As soon as Chu Feng heard this, he immediately identified the place.
"It's too dangerous. It's too close to the darkness. What if an unpredictable being comes out?" Gu Qing frowned, his expression quite serious.
Nine Daoyi said, "If a being of the End of the Path comes out, it'll be useless even if he hides outside the realms. Nowhere is safe, and there's no threshold for them to enter the Boundless Universe."
And if it wasn't for the appearance of a being of the End of the Path, with the secrets on Chu Feng's body, he could protect himself. After all, he had already fought and killed a Dao Ancestor.
Nine Daoyi was incomparably serious, and he said, "This time, this old man also wants to go take a look. I want to search those fallen dark universes and see if there are any old friends."
He also wanted to go, and he wanted to personally go to the Land of Darkness.
"Then … I'll go too!" Gu Qing braced himself and prepared to go as well.
"This emperor will also go!" The Dog Emperor also spoke. He and the decayed corpse were both prepared to see if there were any old friends sunken in that isolated world.
Chu Feng couldn't help but ask what kind of place it was exactly.
"Few people know about it. It's the same as the Foreign Realm, a lost world."
"But it's much better than the Foreign Realm you just returned from. It's a great universe that has been corroded by the eerie and ominous. It used to be brilliant and glorious, but now it's broken, and only darkness remains. It's extremely dangerous."
To put it simply, that was a great thousand world that had been invaded and occupied by the strange races. There were many universes, but now the flames of civilization had all been extinguished.
"There are dark creatures there, and they've truly become dark and can no longer turn back. For example, the Immortal Race recorded in the ancient books refers to the Immortal of Darkness there. The Fallen Immortal King Race is definitely very pure and kind compared to them."
When Chu Feng heard this, he was a bit stunned.
The Immortal Race, the Immortal of Darkness, seemed to be extremely terrifying. They had completely fallen to the side of the ominous races and could no longer turn back.
"The Lost World and the current great thousand worlds have almost been cut off, because if there's a good passage, there will be no lack of battles."
"That area can also be considered a frontline battlefield, and it was intentionally isolated by the heavens."
…
Chu Feng roughly understood what kind of place it was.
In fact, when he had just arrived in the Yang Realm, he had heard some rumors. The Yang Realm's ancestors had started a war with the Immortal Race, and the frontlines had already been isolated outside.
So that was how it was. He now completely understood the hidden story.
Chu Feng set out. This time, he didn't bring Zhou Xi with him for fear of danger.
The heavens used to be even vaster than it was now, and great worlds stood in great numbers. However, after a long period of time, many of them had been corroded by the ominous and fallen into darkness.
Nine Daoyi led the way. They followed an intermittent void passage and found the ancient road that led to the dark old land. They quickly approached.
