The child who used to only know how to shout had now grown up. He had long understood what that scene from more than ten years ago represented. His grandfather, who was sleeping soundly in the corner of the street, had actually died. At that time, the lonely and ignorant child didn't understand at all. Now that he thought about it, he felt sad, fortunate, and grateful.
If he hadn't met that grey-haired youth with a face full of tears that day, the young child might have already starved to death or frozen to death by the roadside for many years.
Chu Feng became more and more peaceful. Although his heart was wounded and he had been stabbed until it bled profusely, he had already adapted to it after so many years of recuperation and adjustment.
Moreover, his eyes became brighter and brighter. There seemed to be a flame burning in the bottom of his heart. It shone through his eyes and wanted to burn the heavens.
That was his unyielding fighting spirit and the surging light of his soul. It burned fiercely and became more and more dazzling and dazzling!
This was also the vigorous and majestic fighting spirit that had been nurtured during the destruction of his heart and the fall of the great world. Although he was silent, he was ready to set off at any time!
The child of the past, Chu Kang, felt that his foster father was more and more different. There seemed to be thunder and lightning in his body, waiting to burst out one day.
Back then, Chu Feng had adopted him with tears in his eyes. He wasn't old, but his heart had already experienced the vicissitudes of life. Even Xiao Tong could feel his sorrow.
During these years, Chu Kang discovered that his foster father's gaze became more and more peaceful. Occasionally, a beam of light would flash through the depths of his eyes like lightning. He realized that his foster father had many "stories" in the past. He had been hurt and tired. Now, he was recovering and awakening the powerful conviction in his heart!
"Good child!" Chu Feng was very happy to have met such a child. Xiao Tong used to be kind, weak, timid, and sensitive. He could sense his mood and state of mind from a very young age.
The reason he could change was largely related to the mute boy who only knew how to shout. He saw him as his own son and made up for a period of regret in his life. He experienced the affection and emotion that only a father and son could have.
Therefore, his cold heart and dispirited spirit constantly changed because he didn't want a child to be infected by his gloomy mood. He had to smile, be calm, and be sunny. He hoped that Xiao Tong, who followed him, could grow up healthy and happy.
Chu Feng didn't hold back and treated him as his own son. He dispelled the gloominess and took care of him until he grew up.
This was the Spirit Extinction Era, which was even more terrifying than the Age of Chaos. It cut off all the cultivators' future. Very few could cultivate. Even if they could barely enter the path, they would only be low-level evolvers.
Chu Feng to nurture Chu Kang. Although he couldn't advance by leaps and bounds due to the limitations of the great world, he was still able to set him on a solid to walk.
But Chu Feng sighed softly. Even if he did his utmost to pave the way, Chu Kang couldn't step into the realm of immortality in his current state.
This world wasn't suitable for evolution at all. It cut off everyone's prospects.
Even if it was Chu Feng himself, he still wasn't a mortal immortal. In this era of extreme spirits, if he couldn't cross that heavenly moat with all his might, he would eventually return to the earth.
This was the Ruined Era, which was even more terrifying than the Age of Chaos.
Nowadays, all paths were cut off. After the battle that year, the Dao collapsed and order was torn apart. Three supreme beings even used the Heaven's Will Blade to sever fate and bury the Immortal King. The remnant blade marks were still rippling. Even after many eras had passed, it might still be affected.
Chu Feng would sometimes sigh. Even if he had a method to help Chu Kang tread on this path, the world was incomplete. The laws didn't exist, and the spiritual energy was dried up. Everything was in ruins. Chu Kang couldn't find the path ahead even if he used all his strength. At most, he could only live for one or two thousand years.
In the past, this was unimaginable. Many evolvers who weren't that strong had a lifespan of several thousand years.
Those with profound strength could easily live for tens of thousands of years.
Not to mention the old monsters who survived from the prehistoric era. Their lifespans were too long.
Chu Kang was quite open-minded. Although he was young, he was very open-minded. In his own words, he was a little mute beggar who would starve to death by the roadside. To be able to live well and successfully grow up to be an adult, he was far luckier than most people. Moreover, he had never thought about immortality.
Chu Feng could only nod silently. This was no longer the era he was in. What else could he ask for in this devoid of spirits?
Moreover, everyone's state of mind was different.
In recent years, Chu Feng discovered a terrifying fact. In the passage of time, without a sound, the legends of the heroic spirits of the past had dimmed, blurred, and finally … obliterated!
Take Chu Kang as an example. This was a young evolver that Chu Feng had painstakingly nurtured. It was extremely rare in this world of ruins. Among his peers, there was probably no one like him.
However, he couldn't remember the names of his predecessors.
It should be known that when he was very young, Chu Feng had begun to tell him stories and myths again and again. He had told him about those inspiring and moving people.
When he was young, Chu Kang used to be very fascinated. Every time, he would pester him, wanting him to talk all night long about those heroes, the past of those fallen heroes, all of them a few times.
However, with the passage of time, the heroic past events that Xiao Tong could recite from his childhood were gradually forgotten by him.
When he was growing up, Chu Feng had tried to tell him those true stories many times. Although he could quickly attract Chu Kang's attention and make him listen with great interest, it wouldn't take long before he would still unknowingly forget about it.
Now, Chu Kang had grown up. In the Spirit Extinction Era, he was already a rare extraordinary evolver. However, those people, those heroes that really existed in history, could only stay in his mind for a short while. When Chu Feng finished talking, those memories would quickly disappear from Chu Kang's mind.
In recent years, even Chu Feng himself felt a bit unfamiliar with some of the glorious figures of the past.
This horrified him. How could he forget those people?
One night, he carried a jar of wine and walked alone between the broken mountains and rivers. He recalled the heroes of the past and told himself that he would never forget them.
In the end, even though those figures in his heart became a bit dimmer, he still preserved those scenes. Those people and matters that made him sad were forever hidden in the bottom of his heart.
He knew that it was related to the stone jar. If it wasn't on his body, perhaps he would also forget everything.
The terrifying vile earth, the terrifying progenitor, Immortal Emperor Wu Qing's sword of heaven's will, they buried the world. What was destroyed was not only the mountains and rivers, but also the brilliance in people's hearts. They were all buried in the past, erasing the tragic scenes of the past and erasing the last traces left behind by those inspiring and moving people.
In the following years, Chu Feng was convinced that everyone in the world had forgotten about those who had once protected the mountains, rivers, and starry skies. They had forgotten that there had once been a group of figures who had charged into the sky and turned into blood and light. The entire world was boundless, and no one remembered them.
There was no need to think too much. Even though Chu Feng couldn't leave this broken world, he could guess that it was the same in other worlds with living beings.
Those people that made people cry just thinking about them, those heroic spirits, had been completely forgotten by the world. They disappeared from the history and were completely erased.
On this day, Chu Feng was incomparably sad. He brought wine and went alone to the ruins to pay his respects.
At the same time, he thought about the day when the world was shattered and all the heroic spirits fell. On the battlefield, there was a mournful voice: "After a thousand years, who will write down the heroic spirits' achievements? I'm afraid that after a thousand years, the autumn wind will sweep away a thousand hills and only ruins will be left. The virtuous sages will leave no trace in this world, no one will remember them …"
Before a thousand years had passed, there was no trace of them in this world. Chu Feng had the urge to cry. On this day, he sat alone among the ruins and looked up at the sky. He sat on the rubble and didn't move for a long time.
…
Chu Kang was married. She was a bright and intelligent girl in a small city. In fact, they had known each other for a long time. They often came in contact when they were young.
In the early years, Chu Feng had begun to teach this girl the method of evolution. He had observed her and approved of her character. He hoped that she would be able to accompany Chu Kang for a long time in the future.
Time flew, and more than a hundred years had passed. Chu Feng's gray hair had completely turned gray. Time didn't leave many traces on his face. On the contrary, judging from the color of his hair, he seemed to have become younger.
Chu Kang and his wife advanced steadily on the path of cultivation. However, they were born in the wrong era. With Chu Feng's help, although the path wasn't cut off, they couldn't see the other shore of light.
They knew that they were just losers in the mortal world and would die in the end.
However, they had no regrets. They had many children and grandchildren. In this era, they had far surpassed ordinary people and even surpassed countless evolvers.
Chu Feng hadn't reached the level of the legendary Mortal Immortal. He couldn't tear apart this world, which meant that he couldn't leave this world. He couldn't even go to his old place to take a look.
He was sure that he had never been to this world.
In the final battle, the Empress took action and sent a few people away. It was an unpredictable path. Chu Feng still didn't know what kind of world it was.
Obviously, the Empress took advantage of the time when the first ancestor retreated to the highland to create a path of survival. She couldn't predict where it would end.
All these years, Chu Feng watched Chu Kang grow up. He began to leave the small town frequently, and the time he spent there was getting longer and longer. He walked among the mountains and rivers, and searched among the ruins. He wanted to find more traces of the past, and he was also comprehending his own path. He would appear in the cities with living creatures from time to time, and he would comprehend all kinds of reality and vividness in the mortal world.
A thousand years later, Chu Kang's wife grew old and couldn't hold on anymore. In this era, she was already a rare person with a long lifespan.
In her last moments, she was very reluctant and held onto Chu Kang's hand. The once bright and intelligent girl now had a head full of white hair. She looked very old and her face was full of wrinkles.
Chu Kang held onto her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'll be with you soon."
They had a deep relationship. There was no fear in the face of death, only reluctance. They had made a promise to be buried together after death. They were also husband and wife in the underworld and wouldn't be separated.
"No, you'll come later." The once young girl was now an old woman who was beyond recognition. Her muddy old eyes were filled with tears and her gaze became gentle. She told him not to rush and not to hurry. She didn't allow him to meet her in advance.
Chu Feng came. When he saw this scene, his heart was moved again. This was the separation of life and death in the mortal world. In fact, there were some similarities with the separation of life and death in his generation. They were both human's nature. One was the ego, while the other was extremely tragic. It was suffocating and made his emotions fluctuate.
After a thousand years, Chu Feng's gray hair turned black. He seemed to be in a better state.
In the end, Chu Feng slit his wrist and used his own blood as medicine to prolong Chu Kang's wife's life.
The effects were astonishing. In this era where the world was completely devoid of life, the medicinal properties of all medicinal herbs had deteriorated. His blood was already the most precious great medicine.
Chu Kang's wife survived and even became much younger.
Chu Feng also prepared medicinal blood for the old Chu Kang. However, he hesitated and only drank a little before kneeling in front of Chu Feng. He kowtowed and said, "Father, I … don't have any great ambitions. I never thought about immortality. Being able to meet you is the greatest fortune of my life …"
He had been kind since he was young and knew how to be grateful. However, he realized that there was nothing he could do to repay Chu Feng. It seemed that the only thing he could do was to always be by his father's side.
However, he knew that he couldn't go on for long. In the end, he had to accompany his wife and leave this world.
Chu Feng nodded. He didn't force her to stay because he couldn't do it himself. In this era, even he had to fight for it. He had to use all his strength to have the chance to become a mortal. He had to go through a death tribulation.
He couldn't let Chu Kang, who had already made up his mind, accompany him on his journey. In reality, he couldn't help anyone change their fate at his current stage.
After another eight hundred years, Chu Kang and his wife finally reached the end of their lives. On the last day, Chu Feng rushed back to send them off. They struggled to get up and wanted to kneel down. However, they were immediately stopped. On this day, the two of them peacefully left the world with smiles on their faces.
Chu Feng was sad. In this era, the two of them were already the most important people to him. They were seen as his own children.
He personally buried the two of them in the cemetery that he had chosen. He stared at them for a long time and didn't want to leave.
He didn't want to involve his family in the mortal world. However, he couldn't avoid it. He just wanted to accompany his children for the rest of their lives and respect their choices. In the end, he still had to face this sad scene and watch his two children slowly die of old age in the years.
Although he didn't want to face it like this, it was naturally in line with the journey of the Path of Celestial Inquiry in the mortal world. Deliberate failure was inevitable. Sincere success was inevitable.
In this ruined world, there was no spiritual essence to absorb, and the essence of heaven and earth was thin. Only by crossing and comprehending in this world of mortals could one achieve the strongest body. Using a once ruined heart to contain an inextinguishable belief, like the formation of pearls in a shell, the entanglement of flesh and sand, dripping with blood, only then could one hone the strongest will, and only then could one surpass other Immortal Realm evolvers of the Dao Realm.
The last of his loved ones passed away. The world was vast and he was alone. Chu Feng sighed. He really couldn't see his peers anymore.
Chu Kang had many descendants. However, after many generations, they didn't know Chu Feng. Chu Feng also didn't want to have too much interaction with those young faces. In this era, giving one's sincerity would ultimately lead to sadness.
After sending his loved ones away once, he didn't want to experience it a second time.
Afterwards, Chu Feng completely left this small city, heading into the boundless depths of the great earth. He passed by countries of different races one after another, traversing endless mountains and rivers.
During this process, Chu Feng never used the seed left in the stone container. Even if he found rare strange earth, he would only store it and not try to let the seed germinate.
The struggle in the mortal world had only just begun. He had to resolutely continue, rely on his own strength to break through the shackles and become a mortal immortal.
As for the seed, it wasn't that he gave up, but rather that he would wait until he broke through on his own before experiencing the pollen path. He wanted to see if he could go a step further and make up for his shortcomings in the same cultivation realm, or even improve himself.
It was because he wanted the most powerful Dao fruit!
His enemies were too powerful. If he couldn't advance to the peak of every cultivation realm, then his cultivation would be meaningless.
The path ahead was terrifying. The ancestors in the vile earth gave him an endless pressure. Even Huang and Ye died in battle, so how was he supposed to fight a decisive battle alone?
At this moment, he still didn't have any methods to kill the ancestors. He could only be down-to-earth and steadily advance, walking the most powerful path!
No matter which evolutionary system it was, they couldn't avoid the mortal immortal. This was a node he had to pass through, so he put down the seed.
So much so that he was already trying to figure out his own path. Anyone who wanted to reach the peak and become truly unrivalled under the heavens had to have their own unique path.
"Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die."
This was a warning from some of the deceased heroic spirits. It had been passed down from generation to generation, and Chu Feng felt that it was indeed very reasonable and priceless.
No matter how great one's talents were, if one couldn't walk their own path, they would just be clumsily imitating others and wouldn't be able to reach the peak.
Only one could understand what was most suitable for oneself. One's own comprehension, one's own spiritual path at the critical juncture, that was the most powerful.
Learning the methods of the predecessors and reading the scriptures of the sages was an accumulation, the first step on the path. In the end, one must have their own path.
During these years, in order to walk the most powerful path, Chu Feng had always been fumbling forward.
He had all kinds of methods for the pollen path. In addition, Yaoyao had also passed on the empress's scriptures to him. This was a priceless treasure that could be comprehended and used as a reference to perfect his own path later on.
When he thought of Yaoyao, even though many years had passed, he still felt a wave of suffocation in his heart. He was dejected. What a pity, what a pity. It was such a woman who illuminated the world. If she was given time to grow, it was simply impossible to predict what domain she would reach. Her talent was too astonishing and there was no upper limit.
"Actually, I already have a direction," Chu Feng said softly. During these years, he had more or less determined the path he wanted to walk.
But at the present stage, it was still mainly about accumulation. It wasn't time to completely set foot on his own path.
All of this would have to wait until he became a mortal immortal before he could study it in depth.
Accumulation, unceasingly solidifying the mortal path, studying all kinds of scriptures. Before forging his own path in the future, he would first build the most solid foundation.
When Chu Feng was close to ten thousand years old, his black hair had completely turned white. He stroked his snow-like hair in silence. He was gradually aging in this era of extreme spirits.
He still hadn't become an immortal. If he went on like this, he would inevitably experience the mortal death tribulation recorded by the predecessors.
He didn't want to avoid it, and he couldn't.
"Back then, although I used the help of the most valuable treasure of time to cultivate and lost some of my lifespan, in that era, I survived from the peak of my vitality. Compared to the present world, the loss of lifespan isn't that much."
After all, in that era, many of the stronger cultivators could easily live for millions of years.
Chu Feng deduced that according to the state of his body, he could live for more than ten thousand years in this era of extreme spirits. At the very least, he could live for more than a thousand years. If he was a bit more optimistic, he might have a lifespan of several thousand years.
There were many scriptures left by predecessors on the pollen path of evolution, and there was even a path that the empress had walked on. Her invincible brilliance seemed to pass through time and space.
Chu Feng studied and began to prepare for the mortal death tribulation.
He firmly believed that he could succeed. At the end of this path, he would live out a new life before dying of old age.
Several thousand years later, the blood in Chu Feng's entire body was dim. His body had aged extremely seriously and was almost about to pass away in a sitting posture. However, there was a ball of undying light in his body. That was a mass of blood essence. At first, it was gentle, but in the end, it became increasingly resplendent.
This was the first mortal death tribulation he had experienced. He had long since boldly tried to explore and step on his own path and method. With his body as the mountains and rivers, he carved a domain and nurtured his blood medicine.
His aged body became the mountains and rivers. In his early years, he had specially cut off a mass of blood essence and nurtured it in the domain of his body. Now, the fragrance of medicine assailed his nostrils and the radiance of life blossomed.
Bang!
In the end, Chu Feng's body shattered and disintegrated. However, a vigorous vitality surged amidst his mangled flesh and blood. His flesh and blood were reconstructed, and his body, which was full of vitality, reassembled itself. He glowed with a new aura, and powerful new energy surged toward his limbs and bones.
Chu Feng came back to life. His thick black hair hung loosely behind him, and his sturdy flesh that seemed to be forged from immortal gold flickered with a sparkling luster. He was filled with astonishing power. At this moment, his essence, energy, and spirit were unprecedentedly abundant and powerful!
"I've lived out a second life!" Chu Feng muttered to himself. He was very clear about his own body's condition after verifying it with the records in the ancient book.
He was very powerful and had succeeded in the first step, but he hadn't succeeded in becoming an immortal. During the Spirit Extinction Era, he had only lived out another life and wasn't truly immortal in the truest sense.
In the following years, Chu Feng analyzed all kinds of evolution scriptures and even spent a lot of time and energy studying domains. Obviously, his path had fallen on domains.
Someone had told him a long time ago that his talent in the field of domains surpassed his talent in cultivation.
However, becoming an outstanding talent and a leading figure in the domain of domains had never been his goal. Even now, it was the same. He was only borrowing the power of domains to carve out a different path of evolution for himself.
Time flowed by, and another life was about to end. Chu Feng grew old once again, and this time, his lifespan was even longer than his previous life. It was incomparably astonishing during the Spirit Extinction Era.
In this life, Chu Feng combined domains with his spirit and constructed all kinds of domain runes within his spiritual flames. He relied on them to face the mortal tribulation of this life.
Bang!
When the day of his death approached, Chu Feng's spirit realm exploded, but a sparkling and translucent spiritual seed was reborn from the flames. It grew within the waning flames and grew stronger. Then, it attached itself to his aged body and, with a rumble, obtained a new life amidst the intense and dangerous transformation.
As the years flowed by, Chu Feng alone saw the sorrow and loneliness of the great world. It was unknown how many generations had passed in this world.
He worked hard to survive and constantly resisted the mortal tribulation. Many tens of thousands of years passed, and each time, he would undergo a dangerous transformation before his death. In the end, he lived out his fourth life.
One day, Chu Feng walked toward that small city once again. He wanted to see where Chu Kang once lived, but he found that everything had changed. It was incomparably unfamiliar.
Many tens of thousands of years had passed. To him, this was his fourth life, but who knew how many eras had passed in the human world. Wave after wave of people died of old age, and the original city had long since turned into ruins. Even further away, there was a powerful human country ruling over this territory.
In truth, this kind of country had changed countless times. It was simply too many to count.
After tens of thousands of years, the world of ordinary people had long since changed into mulberry fields. The great world rose and fell, and everything was different. It was very difficult to find traces of the past.
Chu Feng walked in a huge city on this land. It was unknown how many times larger it was than the small city of the past. There was an endless stream of horses and carriages in the city. People came and went, rubbing shoulders with each other. It could be said that it was flourishing to its peak.
But in this boundless mortal world, Chu Feng walked alone. He only felt incomparably bleak. The whole world was silent as if he was the only one alive. The people in the mortal world brushed past him and quickly went far away. He let out a soft sigh and went on alone.
Time moved forward with an unstoppable momentum. Chu Feng himself had almost forgotten how many lives he had experienced. In the end, he used the mountains and rivers as paper and the great world as the background to paint a picture of his life.
The mountains and rivers were engraved with domains and became the "mother" that gave birth to his new life. In the end, he succeeded. He walked in with an aging body and walked out with a new immortal body!
In this new life, he did not age. He knew that he had lived many lives in succession and continuously resolved mortal tribulations. In the end, he succeeded. Each life was stronger than the last. He had completely advanced into the mortal world immortal realm and achieved the most powerful dao fruit.
"I'm standing at a new starting point. I'm finally going to step on my own path!" Chu Feng said to himself. He had long since swept away all of his dejection. The current him was incomparably powerful. Even though his own strength was not enough, he had long since made up his mind to sweep through the land of evil and exterminate all the abnormalities!
However, when he looked back, he also sighed softly. In the end, he couldn't find anyone to travel with him. There was no one from the same generation. The whole world was boundless, and only he was still moving forward on the path of evolution. The Spirit Extinction Era was extremely long, and there were no successors!
