Linnoy was a rare beauty. She was a goddess-like character both during her university days and after she left the campus. She would attract attention wherever she went.
Her skin was fair and lustrous. Her eyes were like dots of lacquer and her nose was tall. It had been a long time since she left the campus, but she still retained the tranquil elegance of her student days.
"Are you doing well?" She asked Chu Feng. It had been a long time since they parted ways on Mount Wudang.
"I'm fine." Chu Feng nodded. If he hadn't left the mountain to study domains and come to the outside world, the two might not have had many chances to meet again.
They walked side by side. This place wasn't too far from Mount Zhijin. Gazing into the distance, the mountains were connected and shrouded in purple mist.
The two of them did not talk much and only exchanged simple answers. Lin Naoi looked at Chu Feng. Her heart was somewhat unsettled. Although she knew that he had a firm and resolute character, she did not expect that he would be able to walk a different path.
But she couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of a certain power that surpassed this world. No matter how outstanding and extraordinary Chu Feng was, he was still a bit lacking.
Linnoy brought up domains and began to chat with Chu Feng about this topic. As before, they didn't talk much and only touched on certain matters.
Chu Feng saw that she was somewhat apologetic. She wanted to say something to him but found it difficult to speak. His heart immediately thumped as he had a premonition.
Before long, Linnoy asked Chu Feng if he really wanted to study domains wholeheartedly after abandoning the path of evolution.
Chu Feng replied, "Yes, I want to go deeper. Everyone needs to have something to entrust them to. No matter which field you're in, you'll be able to pour your mind into it when you're focused and serious. You'll be able to enjoy it and forget your worries. "
Linnoy hesitated for a moment and then asked Chu Feng if he would be willing to go to a place that was peaceful and isolated from the world.
Chu Feng was dumbfounded and immediately shook his head. Although he had a premonition, he was still quite disappointed because he liked freedom.
Linnoy whispered and told him that there were books on domains for him to read. There were also special terrains and large amounts of top-grade materials for him to experiment on.
"I don't want to go."
Hearing this, Linnoy said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
The two of them fell silent and stopped talking.
After a long time, Linnoy sighed and asked Chu Feng not to blame her. She told him that it was because she was worried that something would happen to him that she suggested this.
Chu Feng was surprised and puzzled.
"I know you used to be very strong, but compared to some people, your strength is still a little weak, especially now that there's something wrong with your body." Linnoy wanted to say something but stopped.
She turned around and looked into the distance before continuing.
"Even with the protection of the old grandmaster and the others, it might not be safe," she said softly.
"There's already such a powerful force in the world?" Chu Feng was surprised.
Linnoy did not respond. Instead, she brought up the past again. In this post-civilization era, there had been several mysterious changes, and the most recent one was 21 years ago.
When Chu Feng heard that, his eyes narrowed as he thought of something. That was because some entities had already become kings 21 years ago. However, they didn't appear in the world and had been lying dormant all this time.
So much so that he had been guessing whether there were also people who had taken that step and begun to evolve during the earlier changes.
He spoke out his suspicions.
Linnoy shook her head and said, "That's not what I want to say."
Soon after, she transmitted her voice telepathically to Chu Feng's mind. She didn't speak.
Now, there were beings from the outer realms about to descend and such people could appear at any time. Everything was because the upheavals had opened up a certain path.
This was her spiritual whisper. Following which, she gazed at Chu Feng with a solemn expression.
"In truth, during the most recent change, 21 years ago, a certain passage was opened and outer-realm entities came through!"
Linnoy's words were like a clap of thunder that exploded in Chu Feng's ears. This was a major event!
At this moment, he finally understood why some corporations were so confident. There were leaked rumors that they had powerful foundations. It turned out that this was what they were relying on!
There were already people from the outer realms arriving 21 years ago and they had cooperated with the corporations. No wonder they understood the nature of the upheavals one step ahead of others.
Previously, when the world was still normal, Linnoy had mentioned pollen and catalysts while talking with her family outside the school grounds.
In truth, Chu Feng wasn't a slow learner. He had his suspicions and wanted to connect the dots, but he wasn't sure.
Back then, he was on the same train as Zhou Quan on his way back from Tibet. There was an accident along the way and the train had to stop on the tracks for a night.
That night, the plants grew wildly, and a vine even pulled down a man-made satellite in space. In the morning, when they went to the roof of the car to investigate, they were surprised to find a man dressed in ancient clothing carrying a black dagger.
At that time, Chu Feng suspected that this was an ancient person, but his suspicions were dispelled after he found a communicator on the person's body.
Now that he thought about it, there were too many suspicious points. It was very likely that this person was someone from the outer realms who had been living in this world for a period of time.
Perhaps he was searching for a new path, or perhaps he was killed by the enemy.
Today, that black dagger was still on Chu Feng's body. It was just that he rarely used it. That was because he had made many associations and was afraid that the dagger would be recognized and attract an ineffable expert.
He had always felt that this person had an extraordinary background.
While Chu Feng was in a momentary daze, Linnoy had already walked quite a distance.
He caught up to her and the two strolled on. Chu Feng's thoughts were multitudinous as he realized many things in a short period of time.
Linnoy glanced at him and told him that Chu Feng didn't have many paths to choose from. She hoped that he would be safe and that if he could choose, living an ordinary life wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Where are those people?" Chu Feng asked the outsiders where those so-called reserves were hiding.
"Some are in the vital magnetic holes in the north pole, some are in the medicinal gardens that appeared after the domains on the famed mountains split open, and some are in the vicinity of the qilin's lair."
Linnoy knew some things. She wouldn't speak of them in the past, but today, she told Chu Feng.
Some of them were things she had long since known, while others were things she had learned recently.
Chu Feng didn't say anything. He was pondering over the fact that these so-called reserves weren't ready to come into being yet.
"They're not coming out because the fruits and pollen in this world are useless to them. They need higher grade fruits to evolve," Linnoy informed.
Chu Feng understood. He was pondering whether he could gain the upper hand by taking action after he had studied domains to a sufficient level.
If these people didn't have good intentions toward him and wanted to imprison him to nurture their weapons, then he might as well find them first and lay down a large-scale domain to wipe them all out!
In any case, these people were all gathered in the origin magnetic caves. These special terrains were the most suitable for laying down terrifying large-scale domains!
Linnoy left and returned to the Celestial Biology camp. At this moment, all the major powers were moving out toward Mount Zhijin.
"How is it? Is he willing to let us protect him? Let him enter the mountain and focus on studying domains. " The young man with skin as translucent as jade and a dark red mark between his brows asked Linnoy with a smile.
Linnoy shook her head.
The white-haired old woman with a ruddy complexion said with a benevolent expression, "That child is truly disobedient. It's time for him to be spanked." With that, a golden beam of light erupted from her eyes.
Linnoy said after hearing this, "Isn't it better to give him some time to cooperate?"
"He needs to be obedient." The old woman spoke lightly with a faint smile. She then said, "Of course, I still need to observe his attainments in the field of domains. If he isn't at the right level, he might not even have the qualifications to be escorted into the mountain."
Mount Zhijin was very special. Even before the upheavals, its peak was often shrouded in purple clouds. Now, the atmosphere was even more extraordinary.
After approaching this place, the plants were lush and green as though they were carved from excavated jade. They were planted in the soil and possessed both spirituality and jade-like radiance.
Even the bare cliffs here were suffused with a lustrous purple glow. There were even spirit mushrooms growing in the crevices of the rocks.
Unfortunately, there weren't any wondrous flowers or mutant trees in this area. Otherwise, it would've long since been occupied by the major powers.
"I must return to my peak here and make another breakthrough! Whatever foundations they have, I'll blast them all to smithereens if they target me! "Chu Feng made up his mind.
After arriving at Mount Zhijin, he began to measure the land and observe the surrounding terrain, analyzing it in detail.
This area was indeed extraordinary. It was suffused with a faint multicolored glow and faintly discernible dragon roars seemed to be coming from the void.
There was bound to be a majestic mountain within the mist, drowned and concealed by the domain.
This was Chu Feng's judgment. He clearly realized that Mount Zhijin was extraordinary and astonishing. It had far exceeded the expectations of the world and that there was a heaven-defying fortune here.
In the following days, the major corporations and powers were transporting large quantities of magnetic stones and jade pieces for Chu Feng to use.
During these days, Chu Feng walked through the entire area. He was incomparably shaken as he observed the mountains shrouded in purple mist.
That was because he had seen something unimaginable to outsiders. This astonished him and caused great waves to surge in his heart. He was increasingly certain that he would rise to power here!
This area looked calm and harmless, but it itself contained domains. It was just that they hadn't been activated and hadn't displayed their might.
Otherwise, outsiders wouldn't even be able to set foot here. This was a land of soaring dragons and was simply too suitable for him.
The next day, the sea monkey sent by the Dragoness of the Eastern Sea returned with hundreds of stone inscriptions. Only the marine race's great strength could carry them over such a long distance.
At first, Chu Feng didn't pay much attention, but after studying them, he was immediately attracted. Before long, he was shaken inwardly.
There was once an ancient evolved being who could be considered a domain master. He had wanted to break through the true dragon's lair in the Eastern Sea and lay down various large-scale domains around it. He hoped to hide himself within the lair and undergo a great nirvana to evolve. Unfortunately, he failed in the end.
He died at the bottom of the Eastern Sea and left behind some of his insights into domains.
This was too important to Chu Feng. Others couldn't understand it, but he could see it clearly and figure out many secrets and essence runes.
These stone inscriptions didn't talk much about traditional runes. They mainly talked about some mountains and rivers, how to make use of various terrains and how to determine the earth veins in the future.
The path of domains was indeed astonishing. It was too broad and there were too many things to study. The Domain Heavenly Book he had grasped talked about the wondrous uses of runes.
These stone inscriptions, on the other hand, paid particular attention to finding terrains and studying special mountains and rivers. It was too astonishing.
Chu Feng studied them for a full three days and three nights, memorizing everything and comprehending many techniques. He was very grateful to the Dragoness of the Eastern Sea.
When he stood up once more and stared at Mount Zhijin, he discovered something extraordinary. It wasn't as simple as the soaring dragon momentum he had seen before.
This place was too wondrous!
According to the records on the seabed stone inscriptions, the terrain here was complex and there were many kinds of arrangements.
For instance, he saw rising draconic qi near Jiangning City. That so-called violet qi was the draconic qi drawn from Jiangning, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
Later on, he saw scorching heat waves in the south. From the color of the earth and the arrangement of the plants, it was clear that there was an essence of extreme yang hidden here. It could draw upon the sun and absorb abundant sunlight essence.
This was all the work of the seabed stone inscriptions. Before this, Chu Feng simply wouldn't have known about it and wouldn't have been able to make such a judgment.
Moments later, he discovered surging yin qi in a certain direction. The power of extreme yin was circulating in the depths of the earth.
"There's a great tomb that can actually provide extreme yin power?!" Chu Feng was astonished.
He was still trying to figure out the flavor from the stone inscriptions. He observed the terrain, the soil quality, the wisps of aura seeping out, and the strength of the magnetic field. He guessed that there was an extraordinary tomb underground that might involve legendary characters!
In truth, according to historical records, many famous people were buried on Mount Zhijin, ranging from monarchs, nobles, generals, and ministers to unknown Daoists.
Chu Feng was sure that this great tomb was related to legends!
However, he wasn't prepared to touch it at this stage. He only needed to borrow the terrain here to truly rise again!
Four hours later, Chu Feng discovered the aura of the golden hepta. He was engraving a small domain to test it when he sensed the surging killing intent emerging from the ground in that area.
He quickly removed the small domain because he knew that the ground was extraordinary and was nurturing metallic killing intent.
Chu Feng searched around here. In the end, he was somewhat astonished because this kind of terrain was exceptionally rare. It was somewhat similar to the legends recorded in the stone inscriptions.
He suspected that the domain master who had died outside the Eastern Sea Dragon Lair had come here before. That was why there were such records.
There were eight different types of energy in the eight directions of Mount Zhijin. For instance, the draconic qi from Jiangning City, the power of extreme yin emitted from the ancient tomb, and the strange soil containing the essence flames of extreme yang …
He found the most central location according to the surrounding terrain and found an origin magnetic cavern suffused with vitality!
"Eight directions with eight different types of energy burning the central area like wind and fire. This is simply like an eight trigrams furnace!"
Chu Feng suspected that the legendary Taishang Laojun's eight trigrams furnace might not be an actual object but rather this kind of terrain!
That was because, according to the stone inscriptions at the bottom of the sea, this was an extremely rare eight trigrams furnace. After laying down a suitable domain, one could nurture weapons, the body, and the spirit.
Chu Feng was excited and couldn't calm down for a long time. His heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction. This place was simply heaven-defying!
He had been hypnotizing himself that he could definitely solve the problem. However, he did not have 100% confidence in the Black and White Grinding Stone in his body. He felt that nurturing it in a famed mountain might not be able to completely perfect it.
This was because similar artifacts, such as the mortar jar in the Yellow Cattle's body that was between energy and matter, were left behind by the Golden Bodhisattva.
In fact, in the other worlds of stars, the successors of the various ancient sacred grounds had similar things in their bodies. They were all left behind by the evolved Bodhisattvas and Demon Saints.
On the other hand, Chu Feng's was formed on his own, which made him feel uneasy and uncertain.
The reason why he was crippled was because he lacked the foundation of a Bodhisattva.
But now, he was confident!
According to the records, this was the location of the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace. It would definitely be able to refine and perfect the Black and White Grinding Stone. This was the best place to nurture weapons and pills.
Apart from this, who would dare claim to be number one? There was no better terrain than this!
