Chu Feng was moved. He really wanted to ascend the altar, but he knew it wasn't that simple. The suppressive might here was too strong. Even an evolved being at his level would feel stifled and suffocated just by approaching it.
The entire altar was vast and majestic. It was like an ancient city towering in front of them. The various offerings on the jade table at the very top were glowing brilliantly.
At this time, someone let out a low roar and rushed forward. After approaching the altar, he directly charged up the stone steps. In the end, he was actually suppressed to the point where blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and his body was trembling.
Thump!
In the end, that person tumbled down. His body was trembling, his spirit was unstable, and his face was pale.
Now, all the experts were envious. Who wouldn't be tempted after seeing the items on the altar?
"Let me!"
Another person took large strides and wanted to ascend the altar.
Even Bodhi Biogenetics' old monk, Master Qian Jia, whose body was covered in a faint golden glow, was moved.
If even this old monk was like this, there was no need to talk about the others.
The temptation here was too great!
What were those things? The golden seal, the nine cauldrons, the cinnabar fruit … all of them were too astonishing.
For instance, the bright red peaches of immortality. Even though so many years had passed, they were still flowing with scarlet radiance. Even the old Taoist was drooling.
These things were rare treasures to evolved beings.
Legend has it that during ancient times, before the earth had completely declined, evolved beings would hold a banquet of immortality peaches to enjoy these rare treasures.
Some of these fruits bloomed once a year, while others bloomed once every ten or a hundred years. There were even some that bloomed once every three thousand years.
Naturally, the rumored mother tree had been withered for many years. Perhaps only during the most prosperous era of the earth, when it was ranked eleventh in the cosmos, would it be full of vitality and fruits.
"Peaches of immortality, something only the immortals of ancient times could enjoy. Even the legends of the Queen Mother Of West mentioned this fruit." Someone sighed with eyes full of passion.
Unfortunately, they could only watch but couldn't ascend the altar.
"Brother Chu Feng, do you have a way? You're the most powerful domain researcher on earth. Only you can lead us up."
Someone spoke, looking at Chu Feng, revealing a hopeful expression.
Chu Feng shook his head and explained patiently, "There's really no other way. This place isn't just a problem with the domains. The most important thing is the imposing manner of the mountains and rivers. The ancient people offered sacrifices to the heavens, giving this place an aura that suppresses the world and suppresses all experts."
He told everyone that, strictly speaking, there were no destructive domains here at the moment. Everyone could climb the altar and enjoy the offerings.
Only, the aura of heaven and earth here was too terrifying. At the very top of the altar was a place close to deities, and there was a certain type of solemn and grand "power".
"Sou sou sou!"
At this moment, some people moved!
It wasn't that they trusted Chu Feng, but that they had received orders and had no choice but to climb up. They were responsible for exploring this place.
The major corporations and top-grade powers had sent a fair number of troops, and each of them had more than one king level expert. Some of them were in charge of scouting the way.
Unfortunately, when these people approached the altar, they were all obstructed. When they climbed up the stone steps, it was as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs. Their bodies were all hunched over, and their foreheads were covered in sweat.
In the end, all of them let out muffled groans. Some staggered back, some coughed up blood, and some fell down like rolling gourds.
There were some things Chu Feng didn't say. This so-called "power" could be considered a domain, but it could also be viewed as one. It wasn't created by carving runes on magnetic stones.
This kind of power directly guided the power of the mountains and rivers, condensing the energy of the earth veins and famed mountains, and communicating with the field of heaven and earth. Only in this way could a complex "field energy" be formed.
This kind of thing could be broken, but it required a domain master to take action. They could also not break it and treat it as a domain. They could simply resist this "power" and climb the altar directly.
It didn't have any transformations and was very simple. There was no lightning, wind, or fire. It only suppressed all approaching creatures and made them feel as if they were being suppressed.
"Brother Chu Feng, is there really no other way?" Someone from the corporations asked. He was too unwilling to accept this. The offerings weren't very far away, but they couldn't be reached.
Chu Feng shook his head and said, "My cultivation is too low. I definitely can't move this altar."
"Everyone, think of a way. He's right. Everything here depends on one's own strength. Whoever can obtain the fortune will depend on their own luck," said the old Taoist.
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
It was at this time that the half-burned old woman suddenly moved. She rose into the air and pounced toward the stone steps of the altar in an attempt to break free from the soft collapse.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
Her movements were extremely fast. She wasn't really flying in the air, but rather, using her hands to touch the ground and rapidly climb up.
Even she couldn't sit still. She faced the offerings on the altar and wanted to take the risk to snatch them.
That was because she saw the mutant fruit man in the jade container. It was snow-white and sparkling like a ginseng fruit. Her heart was stirred up because that was a heaven-defying item!
She felt that if she ate it, she would be able to regenerate her broken body. Her strength would increase by leaps and bounds and she would be able to evolve continuously!
The old woman's strength was extraordinary. No one had expected her to be able to climb up as if she were walking on flat ground even after being burned so badly.
"Chi!"
At the most critical moment, her palm glowed as she shot out a strange object. It was a jade ladder and wasn't very big at all. It was no bigger than a palm.
However, this small ladder was glowing and blossoming with runes. It extended along the stone steps of the altar as if it were paving a path. This was extremely bizarre.
"What is this thing!?"
Everyone was shocked. The old woman followed the light emitted by the jade ladder and climbed up the steps at lightning speed. She could actually climb up?
Everyone's eyes turned red!
"The Heavenly Ladder!" the old Taoist cried out.
Chu Feng's heart was moved. He had learned from the stone carvings at the bottom of the sea that there were domain masters who could create such an item. They could use the terrain of famed mountains as if they were walking on flat ground.
A domain researcher who had reached this level was extremely terrifying.
"No, it's only a low-level product and an embryonic form," muttered the old Taoist.
Apparently, the old woman was going all out. Using such an item to charge into a famed mountain was truly astonishing.
Chu Feng frowned. The old woman definitely didn't have this item with her last time at Mount Zhijin. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been in such a miserable state.
He was observing in secret, wondering if the old woman would be able to use the Heavenly Ladder to cross over after he laid down the domain.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, the jade ladder in the old woman's hand cracked and the radiance it was emitting dissipated. The old woman let out a muffled groan and fell down from the altar.
It was as if a powerful force had smashed into her body, suppressing her all the way down until she fell with a bang at the foot of the altar.
The item in her hand had been destroyed and she couldn't cross over.
Chu Feng nodded inwardly. He knew that this so-called Heavenly Ladder was far from complete and was only the crudest entry-level product. He would be able to stop it after some research and laying down some domains.
"It's this poor Taoist's turn!" The old Taoist smiled. He took a step forward and, with a swoosh, leapt onto the stone steps of the altar and charged upwards.
He first relied on his own strength to run quickly until a majestic force pressed down on him. Only then did he produce an item.
It was a small stone bridge only about a foot long. He fished it out from his sleeves and, with a swoosh, emitted a brilliant glow. The runes on the stone bridge also formed a path which, like a bridge, would carry him forward.
Chu Feng was dumbfounded. This was the work of a domain researcher. It was made from materials such as psychic jades and magnetic crystals. It was called the Realm Crossing Bridge.
Its use was similar to the Heavenly Ladder!
Unfortunately, the legendary finished product was too difficult to produce. Once successful, it would be regarded as a rare treasure by all sects.
Both the old woman's Heavenly Ladder and the old Taoist's Realm Crossing Bridge were crude and flawed. They were far from the finished product.
"The outer realm people sure have a lot of treasures. They're all prepared for famous mountains and great rivers." Some people were astonished.
"Grandpa, you can do it!" The problem-lady shouted from below to cheer the old Taoist on.
It had to be said that the old Taoist's methods were extraordinary. He rushed up in one go and almost reached the altar.
In the end, he flicked his sleeves and attacked the offerings on the altar, stirring up a gust of astral wind.
Clang!
One of the nine cauldrons on the altar was touched and emitted a metallic sound. Following which, a majestic ripple spread out.
With a bang, the Realm Crossing Bridge in the old Taoist's hand was broken. He let out an odd cry and tumbled down in a sorry state, but he wasn't injured.
Everyone was overwhelmed. The moment the cauldron rang out, many people's souls trembled. Some king level experts even trembled and almost fell to the ground.
"How terrifying!"
Everyone was astonished. That was only one of the nine cauldrons, yet it was already so extraordinary. The offerings were simply too terrifying.
"Sigh, if it were back in the day, everything on the altar would've been mine!" The old Taoist sighed. He was at his wit's end.
Everyone's hearts were itching. They could only watch helplessly. There were many divine objects on the altar, but they had no way of approaching them. They could only watch with envious eyes.
Some people once again sought out Chu Feng and asked him to think of a way.
"Let me try. You guys help me out in a while." Chu Feng stood in front of the altar and pondered continuously. He then began to carve symbols on the magnetic stones.
If he could really break the altar's "power", he definitely wouldn't have taken action now. He had no obligation to bring the mixed group of kings up the altar. He could do it himself.
Before long, he had the help of a group of king level experts. They threw the carved magnetic stones into the air and arranged them in an orderly manner to form a domain in the air.
He was experimenting, carefully probing, and not actually making a move.
Boom!
The effects were astonishing. After the domain was formed, the altar began to rumble. The "power" of this place erupted and fiercely suppressed everything.
The magnetic stones in the air were all blasted apart and turned into fine powder.
However, the items on the jade table became unstable during the rumbling of the altar and some of them rolled off the table.
"Oh my, a good method. Something's falling down. Continue shaking it!"
People were dazed at first, but then they were pleasantly surprised. They felt that it was possible to shake down some offerings.
Chu Feng tried again. He had people throw magnetic stones into the air from different directions to form a domain there.
In the end, the power on the altar erupted once again and crushed down. The domain's runes were obliterated and all the magnetic stones exploded.
Some people hurled boulders at the altar upon seeing this, but it was useless. They were repelled before they could even get close. Meanwhile, the altar didn't move in the slightest.
Only the domain could draw upon the altar's "power" and cause this place to rumble.
Chu Feng's heart was thumping wildly. That was because during this process, the originally unstable little grinding stone in his body began to rotate frantically as though it was calling for something to come down.
He was somewhat regretful. He felt that he shouldn't have taken action so casually. If he had really taken some treasure from the altar in front of everyone's eyes, everyone would probably be envious.
Boom!
However, what he feared had come true. The little grinding stone in his body was simply too odd. It had unknowingly formed a pulling force and pulled something down from the altar.
Within moments, something had fallen down!
