Under the blazing sun, the vines were brightly colored and flourishing.
Some were as red as fire. When their leaves moved, the sky was filled with scarlet clouds. Some were snow-white and sparkling. When the wind blew, the leaves were like snowflakes rolling about. Some were dark like black dragons hanging upside down …
There were dozens of vines in the sky above each of the larger cities. They ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of meters above the ground, arousing the desire of many people to explore.
"What in the world is this?" Chu Feng had a bad feeling. The appearance of so many vines from all over the world attracted everyone's attention.
It was said that at least two to three thousand people had disappeared. They climbed up the vines and disappeared into the mist that was one to two meters in diameter.
Some were mutants, and there were even some ordinary people who were very gamblers. They wanted to change their current state and rushed into the sky impatiently.
Yellow Cattle was suspicious. He looked carefully and said, "It looks a bit like a constellation vine."
"What kind of plant is that? Is it famous?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, it's very famous. When it truly matures, it will cover the sky and cover the sun, and even cover the starry sky," Yellow Cattle replied. His tender little face was filled with seriousness.
Chu Feng was astonished. Was it really that exaggerated?!
"This is the most primitive stage of the constellation vine. It has just taken root and germinated. It is still far from mature. As it grows, its form will constantly change."
Yellow Cattle's little face was taut. He was extremely solemn as he told Chu Feng that the most astonishing constellation vine was just like its name. It took root in the starry sky, and its vines were connected to thousands of stars.
Connected to thousands of stars? Chu Feng was dumbstruck. Was this still a plant? It was like a fantasy story.
"There aren't many that can grow to such a stage." Yellow Cattle was very serious because this plant didn't exist in the place he came from. It was only recorded in ancient books.
"In one day, the constellation vines grew all over the sky. What does this mean?" Chu Feng frowned.
"It could be a seed that floated over from the depths of the starry sky and germinated in this land of recovery. It could also be deliberately done by people from other worlds," Yellow Cattle said.
That was why it warned Chu Feng not to rush into the mist. It was too risky, and there might be a path behind him.
"Every famous mountain has its own path. Is even the sky like this now? Why do I feel that the Earth is riddled with holes? Or should I say that the Earth is well-connected?" Chu Feng had a strange expression on his face.
"It has always been like this. Otherwise, why do you think the inheritances from outside this region would rush over without any regard for their lives? Isn't it all for the sake of harvesting natural luck?" Yellow Cow's small face revealed a complicated expression as he gazed into the heavens.
"There are domains in many places on Earth. This is enough to prove that this primitive ancient land is extraordinary. There used to be all kinds of Taoist rites," Yellow cattle reminded.
Researching domains was more than ten times more complicated than grasping all kinds of inheritances. Even in the outer realms, few were willing to touch upon this domain.
The few domain experts were mostly from the top orthodoxies.
Meanwhile, on Earth, the famed mountains were covered in domains. It was just that they hadn't revealed themselves yet. This was extremely astonishing.
"I'll remind you again. After the upheavals, cultivating here for a year is equivalent to tens or hundreds of years in other places. The roots of the holy tree have recovered and certain Taoist lands have opened. Even the top sects in the outer realms can't sit still. But for certain reasons, they have no way to rush over and find it difficult to descend."
Yellow cattle brought up the old matter again. This made Chu Feng cherish this opportunity to rapidly evolve. If he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
It was also because of this that experts from all realms would try their best to open up a path to this place. They would send their disciples here in an attempt to obtain an opportunity to become a sage ancestor.
At this time, the Golden Condor King descended from the sky. The black yak, the Donkey King, and the Manchurian Tiger all gathered over to hear the last part of the conversation.
The unscrupulous Manchurian Tiger said with a pout, "Brother, hurry up and comprehend that Domain Heavenly Book. Seize the initiative and occupy all the famed mountains. When those goddesses, dao children, and saintesses arrive, they can only obediently throw flirtatious glances at us. At that time, you'll snatch a group of goddesses as your wives, and I'll also marry a few female white tigers. Then, I'll accept a group of divine sons as my underlings and become a sage ancestor!"
Yellow cattle said disdainfully, "I'm just afraid you'll be the first to betray them and run over to become their mount or mountain guardian beast."
"Nonsense! Do I look like such a careless tiger?!"
"You do!" The black yak nodded solemnly.
…
The next day, Linnoy returned. She was dressed rather casually and even somewhat rebelliously. There were several holes on her jeans, revealing her sparkling skin. She was wearing a loose t-shirt.
This outfit didn't match her identity and temperament, but she was dressed like this. It was as if she wanted to be down-to-earth.
She was tall and had long legs. She walked shoulder to shoulder with Chu Feng and strolled aimlessly along the road.
Despite being dressed like this, her temperament was still on the cold side. She was like a snow lotus blossoming on an iceberg amidst the surging mortal world. There was a cold aura and a wisp of delicate fragrance about her.
"The true great era is about to arrive." Linnoy looked up at the sky and gazed at the brightly colored vines. There was worry on her flawless and exquisite face, but there was also yearning.
The corporations understood the changes better than ordinary people. Even someone as young as Linnoy knew a lot of secrets from her clan.
The world might undergo great changes in the near future. Perhaps the strong would remain strong, or perhaps the weak would rise to power. All sorts of situations might occur, and it would be a great change.
So much so that foreign creatures were about to descend. A great era was about to arrive.
Linnoy glanced at Chu Feng and told him seriously that he should restrain himself during this period. He needed to know how to protect himself in the upcoming great era.
Chu Feng nodded and understood her good intentions. He naturally knew that the rafter that stuck out would rot first. Now that the famed mountains were covered in snow and the sky was filled with strange vines, it was clear that great changes were about to take place.
It was hard to say who would rise and who would fall. The current peerless experts might become even more powerful, but they might also be overtaken by latecomers. The situation was about to change.
Even the corporations were waiting for that day to come.
Chu Feng couldn't swallow this anger after being hunted down. He wanted to collect one last debt and then lay dormant in peace.
Under Linnoy's repeated persuasion, Chu Feng nodded and said, "I'll cultivate my character and wait for the great changes to take place."
When he was lonely, he would read Nanhua. When he was free, he would recite Huangting. Perhaps he really needed to live a peaceful life.
The last time they met, Linnoy had already become a king level expert. Now, she had advanced further and was starting to exert her strength.
Chu Feng knew about the Elder Dragon King. That old flood serpent made him somewhat apprehensive. He was waiting here because he wanted to understand more about it through Linnoy.
That was because he knew about Celestial Biology's plans to go out to sea and thus understood many things.
"He's 1,500 years old and has three sons. Hei Teng is his youngest." Linnoy explained everything she knew in detail.
Chu Feng felt a certain pressure. From all the signs, that old flood serpent was indeed terrifying.
"He won't come ashore in the short term. The fortunes in the sea aren't inferior to those on land. There are underwater cave residences and legends of true dragon lairs. Most importantly, he's searching for the draconification fruit. That's of utmost importance to him."
Linnoy guessed that the Elder Dragon King wouldn't come ashore in the next few months. The competition for the draconification fruit was extremely intense. Any clue would stir up a storm of blood. The major hegemons wouldn't leave just yet.
"Many things can happen in a few months." Chu Feng smiled. There was nothing to worry about. The world would have changed by then. He only needed to seize the opportunity to evolve.
He had three seeds in his hands. As long as the mutant soil on the famed mountains recovered, he would be able to plant them again.
Afterward, Chu Feng asked about the jade stone containing the Demon Flood Dragon Fist. Lin Ruoyi told him that the Pre-Qin Research Institute hadn't returned it yet.
On the same day, Chu Feng left with Yellow Cattle and the rest to Xijing, where the Pre-Qin Research Institute was located.
Xijing was the capital of the thirteen dynasties of ancient China. It could be considered an ancient capital with a long history.
At the same time, it was adjacent to the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin.
The Pre-Qin Research Institute was located here. In the beginning, they researched the historical context before the Qin Dynasty. Later on, they gradually expanded and became a financial magnate.
While researching the history of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, they had obtained some ancient artifacts and came into contact with supernatural powers. Hence, this financial group became increasingly inclined to pursue mysterious powers.
The ancient city walls of Xijing were still there. They were mottled and weathered, like a painting between heaven and earth. It was a piece of living history.
In the sky, vines after vines fell from the sky.
"The latest news is that someone has returned safely. He said that at the end of these vines is the heavenly palace, the celestial ground. Someone has plucked a mysterious fruit and has evolved to the quasi-king realm."
Chu Feng and the others heard this news while they were walking through Xijing.
Vines could be seen hanging over every major city in the world. Soon, more news arrived.
Ordinary people had evolved into mutants, and mutants had evolved into quasi-kings!
"Will we become peerless kings if we climb up?" The black yak was tempted.
"Don't take the risk. It feels like we're fishing." Chu Feng warned him not to resist the temptation.
They arrived at the Pre-Qin Research Institute. Unfortunately, the building was deserted. Only a few unimportant people stayed behind.
It was easy to imagine that Chu Feng had conquered two major corporations in a single day. This had shaken the world and alerted the other corporations and made preparations.
The Pre-Qin Research Institute chose to shrink back and avoid the sharp edge. All the important figures had left.
But before long, a familiar person appeared. It was Qi Honglin, a high-ranking member of the Pre-Qin Research Institute whom they had met in Shuntian. He was the one who had given the jade containing the Demon Flood Dragon Fist to Chu Feng as an apology.
"This old man has come to express his sincerity. We really didn't participate in the operation to kill Brother Chu Feng."
Following which, he offered up a piece of ancient jade and told him that it was the one Celestial Biology had lent them. It had already been approved by the Lin family branch and could be handed over to Chu Feng.
Everything was out of Chu Feng's expectations. The other party dared to show up in such a humble manner and immediately offered up the piece of jade he wanted so badly.
This was the second half of the Demon Flood Dragon Fist. It was incomplete the last time he obtained it.
Yellow Cattle had excitedly told him that after combining the complete Demon Flood Dragon Fist with the Demon Ox Herd, his combat strength would at least double!
Last time, he had only integrated the first half of the Demon Flood Dragon Fist. He indeed felt his strength increase by a level, but it wasn't enough.
Chu Feng placed a finger on Qi Honglin's forehead and hypnotized him. In the end, there was no evidence that the Pre-Qin Research Institute had tried to kill him. He felt as though he had punched thin air.
What was worth celebrating was that they had obtained the second half of the Demon Flood Dragon Fist!
"Chu Feng, we're at the Greatwoods Temple."
