The weather was extremely bad. Heavy snow swirled in the air, and some places were as low as minus ten degrees. The cold was bone-chilling, but the travel of mutants was not affected.
The Hollow Jade Temple was bustling with activity. People would come to visit from time to time, hoping to meet Chu Feng. They didn't know Chu Feng's current state.
Lu Tong appeared and tactfully informed Chu Feng that he was comprehending an ancient fist manual and had reached a critical juncture. It wasn't appropriate for him to interrupt the meeting.
"No problem, we can wait. Please forgive us for disturbing you." A white-haired old demon cupped his hands politely and left with a face full of smiles.
"Am I seeing things? That's an old monster from Mount Changbai. He's also here. That's the King of the Northeast who has long since severed his sixth shackle. He rarely leaves the Northeast. "
Someone whispered after recognizing the old man's identity. He was actually a peerless expert. Few people knew what his true form was, only that his cultivation was profound.
There were many people in front of the Hollow Jade Temple. Most of them wanted to visit Chu Feng. They were deeply surprised that even the old monster from Changbai had come.
It was difficult for ordinary people to go out due to the cold weather. However, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses in front of the Hollow Jade Temple.
Many demon kings from all over the world had come to visit. Some corporations had found out that Chu Feng was studying fist techniques. They immediately sent over the personal notes and insights of their predecessors. They were absolutely precious!
Chu Feng stood in front of the window and sighed. Would the people take back the notes and manuals after learning of his current state?
He was well aware of the fickleness of human nature. What people cared about now was his combat strength. What reason would they have to pay him a visit if he were to lose all of that?
He had long since spoken to the Yellow Cattle. The two oxen were extremely anxious.
Yellow Cattle told him not to worry and that there might still be a chance to turn things around. It had been collecting king level blood in Mount Kunlun for the past two days and would soon arrive at Shuntian to cleanse Chu Feng's spirit and body.
Chu Feng was truly unreconciled. He once again circulated his breathing technique and merged his spiritual energy into his blood. Starting from his heart, it spread to every part of his body.
In the end, his blood turned black. The most serious change was that his heart was flickering with a black light and was no longer sparkling red.
"My heart has turned black." Chu Feng mocked himself. This was really ironic.
Lu Tong came and told Chu Feng that he had already contacted the best human potential laboratory in the country. They would perform a full body check on him to see if there was a way to eradicate the black substance.
The Hollow Jade Temple Master was also present. He reassured Chu Feng that he would follow along and help the people in the laboratory diagnose and treat him.
Chu Feng frowned. It was not that he did not believe in science, but all kinds of living things were evolving in this world, and medical diagnostics could not keep up with the pace of evolution.
However, in the end, he still went. He did not want to waste Lu Tong's good intentions.
They secretly set out and arrived at a famous laboratory. Previously, a portion of the king level flesh and blood had been handed over to this place for testing and research.
Chu Feng laid there as all sorts of advanced equipment lit up. It was almost like something out of a sci-fi movie as they scanned his entire body. He felt like he was an object being examined from the inside out.
His blood was drawn several times to detect the black substance in his body.
The people in the laboratory frowned in astonishment after the various data came out. Chu Feng's constitution was simply too good. He didn't seem like a human at all. He was practically a demonic god!
If news of this were to spread, it would certainly cause a huge commotion.
However, they had no way to extract the black substance. They wanted to extract it from his blood, but before they could do so, the black substance evaporated into a wisp of mist and re-entered Chu Feng's body.
In the end, Chu Feng was sent into a sealed spherical apparatus where his blood was automatically scanned and collected. Not long after, the people in the laboratory injected medicine refined from mutant fruits into his body to increase his physical activity.
In the end, the medicine was ineffective and was directly expelled through his pores. His constitution possessed astonishing resistance to reverse evolution.
After many tests, the person in charge of the laboratory was sweating profusely. He told Lu Tong and the Hollow Jade Temple Master that the black substance's reverse evolution was fatal to mutants and mutants.
At the very least, they couldn't deal with it with their current methods.
Lu Tong sat there motionlessly. His complexion was pale and his head was lowered without a word.
At this time, the Hollow Jade Temple Master received news from the Eight Visions Temple Master that he had gained a deeper understanding of the black substance.
During these two days, the three temple masters had ordered people to flip through all kinds of ancient texts, ranging from the Daoist Canon to the secret manuscripts left behind by senior Buddhist monks and all kinds of ancient texts.
"A rare substance from the depths of the universe refined by a demonic sage. It's priceless. Even the secret texts of Daoism might not necessarily be able to obtain it."
The Hollow Jade Temple Master was astonished. Although he had heard Chu Feng briefly mention that the black substance was miraculous for golden arhats and divine knights, he didn't expect it to be so valuable.
Very soon, the Eight Visions Temple Master informed him of some information that was collated from ancient texts and pieced together from various clues. This black substance was a treasure that all evolved beings yearned for even in their dreams!
Who had the most abundant collection at present? Naturally, it was the country.
The Eight Visions Temple, the Hollow Jade Temple and the Roaming Jade Temple were the three great mutant organizations within the country. Their ancient texts and rare Daoist texts were all open to them.
In just two days, many people were ordered to flip through all kinds of ancient texts and actually found all kinds of clues.
So much so that they even found the personal notes of a certain heavenly master when sorting out the ancient texts. Among the notes was the master's praise for the black substance.
That heavenly master had once said that he wouldn't even exchange a single copper coin for a gourd of Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills!
In ancient times, one catty was sixteen taels and a copper coin was only one-tenth of a tael.
The Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill was the most famous divine pill of ancient times. It was known as a rare and precious divine medicine. The founder of Mount Longhu, Zhang Daoling, had successfully refined a furnace of Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills and thus evolved to its peak state.
Heavenly masters from other eras would find it difficult to refine Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills.
Even a heavenly master of an ancient evolved being praised so highly, claiming that even a gourd of Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills couldn't be exchanged for a single copper coin. This was truly shocking.
The master of the Eight Visions Temple and the master of the Hollow Jade Temple were shaken to learn of this shocking news from the celestial master's letter.
Of course, they also understood that the requirements for evolved beings were extremely high. One had to reach a certain level in order to refine the dark substance. Otherwise, it would become a poison.
"According to the ancient Daoist records, Chu Feng has been crippled. His path of evolution has already been reversed. There's no more hope." The Eight Visions Temple Master had also arrived.
The Hollow Jade Temple Master instructed the laboratory staff to find a way to extract the black substance. No matter what method they used, they had to succeed regardless of the cost.
"This is somewhat difficult. We've already extracted a lot of blood samples, but before we could separate them, the black substance has already flowed out and returned to the patient's body."
The laboratory manager explained that it wouldn't work even if it was sealed in a container. The black substance was extremely strange and could penetrate glass containers, steel cans, and all other materials.
"Extract some blood and inject it into another organism's body. See if we can retain the black substance," the Hollow Jade Temple Master said.
"That's Chu Feng we're talking about. Is it appropriate to extract blood like this?" The laboratory manager's forehead was dripping with sweat. This was no ordinary experiment. Would Chu Feng be willing to do such a thing?
"This concerns a great secret on the path of evolution. I believe Chu Feng won't object if he learns of this. We lack a peerless expert on our side, so we need him to pay a price," the Hollow Jade Temple Master said.
One day later, Chu Feng was furious. What did this laboratory think he was? A guinea pig? Who knew how much blood had been extracted in a short span of twenty hours?
With a bang, he kicked the experimental apparatus and shattered the steel plates. He walked out of the sealed laboratory with an ugly expression.
Lu Tong appeared immediately after receiving the news. He was furious after understanding the situation and sent the laboratory manager flying with a kick. He pointed at the latter's nose and cursed, "Old Li, I've sent you so many king level entity blood samples in the past to support you. But have you become addicted to experiments and forgotten your roots? How dare you target Chu Feng like this?!"
The laboratory manager felt that he was in the wrong. He stood there and wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only say that he couldn't deal with the black substance at the moment.
"Old Li, do you think that Chu Feng's illness can't be cured and that's why you dare to act so unscrupulously?" Lu Tong cursed and tried his best to calm Chu Feng's anger.
The Hollow Jade Temple Master arrived. He glanced at Chu Feng and left without saying anything.
"You should know that Old Li wouldn't dare to do this to me even if he had ten times the courage," Chu Feng said calmly.
Lu Tong was silent and finally sighed. "The Temple Master probably doesn't have any evil intentions. He's just a bit radical and wants to crack the great secret of the path of evolution."
Chu Feng said nothing and followed Lu Tong back to the Hollow Jade Temple.
Before long, the Hollow Jade Temple Master appeared and apologized to Chu Feng. "The environment is vile and we lack peerless experts. I'm a bit anxious and wanted to find a solution. But … I was too radical. I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind."
Afterwards, he asked Chu Feng if he had contacted Mount Kunlun. Chu Feng nodded in affirmation.
The Hollow Jade Temple Master informed, "The situation isn't good. There are rumors in the outside world that you've met with an accident and lost the opportunity to evolve. You might even become weak and become an ordinary person."
Chu Feng replied calmly, "What will come will come. I can't hide anything."
The Hollow Jade Temple Master nodded and patted Chu Feng's shoulder before leaving.
Chu Feng frowned as he watched the Hollow Jade Temple Master's departing figure. He didn't quite believe that Yellow Cattle would be so careless. This matter shouldn't have leaked out from Mount Kunlun.
Before long, Yellow Cattle contacted Chu Feng and told him not to worry and to wait patiently. It was currently looking for the old llama. This old monk's blood was extremely precious and contained Buddha nature. It had a miraculous effect on purifying the flesh and blood.
However, the old llama was wandering around Tibet in search of some legendary Buddhist weapons in order to enter the Great Snow Mountain's ancient temple.
Presently, Yellow Cattle had already collected the blood of all the great demon kings in Mount Kunlun. It had gone through a lot of trouble to accomplish this. Otherwise, who would be willing to reveal the secret of their blood? The more they understood, the more they cared about these things.
"It's definitely not from Mount Kunlun. I think it's from the Hollow Jade Temple. I'll let Old Black and the others go ahead and take care of you. You must be careful now." Yellow Cattle became vigilant and reminded Chu Feng.
After ending the call, Chu Feng thought for a while and found Lu Tong. He told him to invite all those who had sent their visiting cards. He wanted to invite everyone to a banquet.
"Are you worried that this place will become a prison? Absolutely not! "Lu Tong sighed lightly but still turned around and left according to Chu Feng's instructions.
Chu Feng muttered to himself, "Since someone has leaked the secret, then I'll take the initiative to make it public and invite everyone to a banquet. Perhaps a new balance can be formed."
On this day, a rumor caused a great commotion. Chu Feng's path of evolution had reached its end. The news spread like wildfire!
Everyone was paying attention to the news and the world was in an uproar. At first, no one believed it and thought it was a great joke.
But there were also some people who believed that this might not be a lie. That was because it had been circulating since yesterday and was only within a small circle.
Before long, the news was confirmed to be true. That was because Chu Feng had invited everyone to a banquet and publicly admitted that there was a problem with his body.
There was an endless stream of carriages and horses in front of the Hollow Jade Temple. Many people had arrived. There were demon kings from all over the world as well as some corporate higher-ups. All of them had come to pay a formal visit.
The atmosphere of the banquet was quite odd. No one had expected that Chu Feng, who was at the peak of his power, would actually admit that he might become an ordinary person.
"Brother Chu, there's no need to say too much. I admire you as a person. Regardless of whether you've encountered a problem or not, you're definitely my friend." The white-haired, white-bearded old demon from Mount Changbai stood up and toasted Chu Feng with a cup of wine.
This was a peerless expert with six severed shackles. He was quite famous in the Northeast region. Some of the people who recognized him revealed astonished expressions.
"The weather is unpredictable and people have their ups and downs. It's no big deal. I believe Brother Chu will be able to endure it," another great demon king stood up and said.
Following which, some of the corporate higher-ups also presented some precious gifts to console Chu Feng, saying that there was no hurdle he couldn't cross.
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, at least no short-sighted people appeared at the banquet. Everyone was very polite and no one offended Chu Feng.
Finally, the group took their leave and left behind a pile of precious gifts.
However, there were still some changes after that day.
Needless to say, the outside world was shocked to the point that their eyeballs almost popped out. Everyone found it hard to believe, but they had no choice but to admit this fact. Chu Feng, who had risen to prominence like a comet and had achieved such a glorious battle record, had actually met with an accident at the peak. Henceforth, he would lose all luster and completely withdraw from the path of evolution.
He had faded into obscurity! This was the sigh of the people towards him.
In truth, the changes within the Hollow Jade Temple were also visible. Chu Feng could truly feel it.
Some people gazed at him from afar with odd expressions.
Among them were a number of quick-witted boys and girls who had been very attentive during the past two days. They constantly ran over to help Chu Feng with various tasks.
They all looked to be around 15 or 16 years old. The two boys were very handsome while the three girls were exceptionally beautiful. They were intelligent and quick-witted. They were all mutants with considerable strength despite their young age.
"Brother Chu, I would like to ask you to accept me as your disciple." Finally, a beautiful girl blinked her large eyes and said.
The others were either shy or bold. All of them expressed their desire to ask Chu Feng to teach them fist techniques.
