Chapter 399: Hunting the Qilin in the West
Chu Feng's eyes were a faint golden color, burning with passion. He was preparing to go to the qilin's old lair!
Before setting out, he cleaned up the traces of battle at the scene.
"Everything is fake in this era. Even saintesses are like this. What sixteen years of age, stunning beauty, and slender waist. Their real age is at least fifty," Chu Feng complained.
He felt that Huang Weiyue had taken good care of herself. She had descended to earth for 22 years, but her age was probably at the level of a grandmother.
He recalled his original intention of hunting fairies and goddesses. He had even said that he would capture them to warm his bed. Now, he couldn't help but shiver.
A 50- or 60-year-old saintess? It was better to forget it and politely decline. If they were all people of this generation, he wouldn't hunt them even if he was beaten to death. He would just run away.
"I'm cracking down on fakes!"
After cleaning up the scene, Chu Feng carried the diamond chakram to the mountain where the essence flames of extreme yang were being nurtured and began to absorb the special yang energy there.
In today's battle, this kind of rare high-grade energy had displayed astonishing effects. It was worth making more preparations.
Afterwards, he set out!
The current Chu Feng possessed godly speed. He could absolutely swim in the north sea in the morning and travel in the evening. His feet were enough.
In ancient times, he could already be considered an immortal on the land.
Although he couldn't fly, he could traverse the continent and sea in a single day.
Chu Feng left Jiangning and headed north toward the qilin's old lair!
Not long ago, the man with the silver horn on his head didn't reveal much information. That was because he had already seen that Chu Feng was determined to kill him, but at the last moment, he became unyielding.
He had mentioned Mount Lao not because he wanted to leak information. His true goal was to send Chu Feng to his death because he was convinced that the heavenly prince would beat Chu Feng to death!
As he saw it, this was an irreversible gap. People from the imperial court of evolvers possessed terrifying talents and could achieve the most terrifying super evolution.
On the way, Chu Feng was as fast as lightning. He was heading north toward a certain place in Shandong.
That was because he had determined that the qilin's lair was there.
At the last moment, when that creature mentioned the Qilin nest, it was secretive and didn't reveal everything. It was clear that it wanted to trick Chu Feng.
"A fake nest is most likely filled with traps and dangers, while a real nest is definitely a tiger's den."
A while ago, Chu Feng was researching domains and had read various documents. Out of curiosity, he had researched the legendary dragon caves in the sea, qilin nests on land, and phoenix nests on parasol trees in China.
Thus, he had already made some deductions.
Now, combined with some of the information leaked by that creature, he could now accurately determine where the qilin's old nest was.
In the Historical Records, it was recorded that in the spring of the fourteenth year of Duke Aigong of Lu, when he hunted in the west, Shusun's carriage key was found. He thought it was an ominous sign, and Zhong Ni called it a Qilin!
"In this incident, there was a monarch, a Qilin, and a Literature Saint. It's obvious how terrifying the situation is," Chu Feng said to himself.
Similar records could be found in the Zuo Zhuan.
Unfortunately, although it was an auspicious beast, it had perished in that incident. There was a line in the Spring and Autumn Annals, "Hunting a Death Qilin in the west."
From this, Chu Feng understood the location of the ancient Qilin. In addition to the information he had obtained from the descender just now, he was naturally able to confirm that there was no mistake.
Hunting in the west, this place mentioned in the Historical Records was called Daye Marsh, also known as the Giant Wild Marsh.
It was located in the Shandong region and was also known as Heze.
"This place is also the birthplace of the most powerful tribe in ancient times." Chu Feng pondered. This Daye Marsh had once birthed a mythical tribe, and there was indeed a reason why the qilin lived nearby. That was the totem of the forebears.
Chu Feng's speed was extremely fast. He traversed the entire way with explosive speed — if he were to come into contact with any rocks, vegetation, or other substances, they would all explode.
After the great upheavals, Jiangning was over six thousand kilometers away from Heze in Shandong. However, Chu Feng had arrived in half an hour after running frantically.
This kind of godly speed, this kind of crazy running, if witnessed and known by others, would all be stupefied. It was somewhat frightening.
The exact location was north of Heze's Giant Wild Marsh.
Chu Feng arrived. The terrain had changed greatly and was completely different from the past. He had come here before the upheavals, and now that he was here again, he revealed an astonished expression.
This was a primitive landscape. Ancient trees towered into the sky, and a great marsh surged with water vapor. It stretched as far as the eye could see.
"It's really strange!" The landscape of this place had changed too completely.
Chu Feng treated it cautiously. He thought of the various legends of this place and didn't dare to be careless.
"There's a saying in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that Yan Di's daughter Jing Wei used stones to fill the sea. The sea mentioned is Daye Marsh." He stopped here.
In front of him was a great lake covered in hazy clouds and mist. It was boundlessly large.
On the shore, old vines twisted about and fierce beasts roared. Primitive birds flew across the sky, and a giant bird directly grabbed a long-nosed elephant and flew into the distance. It was extremely savage and terrifying.
Chu Feng suspected that he had entered the wrong territory and had mistakenly entered a foreign land.
The folded spaces in other places had a transitional stage, starting from the great mountains. This place was completely different. It directly displayed the ancient land and the boundless great marsh.
Swoosh!
Chu Feng was as light as a feather, but his movements were extremely fast. He moved along the lake, searching this ancient land where the most powerful tribes had been born.
Fortunately, he was fast. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see the end of such a large place even after walking for several months. They could only circle around the great marsh.
While Chu Feng was searching for the qilin's old lair, the outside world couldn't remain calm.
That was because blood had once flowed on Mount Zhijin, and Demon King Chu was suspected to have fought there. Just who had he tricked?
"Extra, extra! Chu Feng is suspected to have killed extraterrestrials again!"
When they heard these words, everyone was speechless. The word 'again', how could it be so cruel?
"I knew he's a god of misfortune. We can't have anything to do with him. Death follows wherever he goes. Whoever comes into contact with him with bad intentions will suffer greatly!"
Some corporate members sighed. This was a lesson learned through blood and tears. Even though they didn't oppose each other last time and cooperated in a friendly manner, many people had died along the way as Chu Feng led them to Mount Qinling, Mount Zhongnan, and Mount Huang.
On Mount Lao, someone reported to Mu Qing, "There seems to be a situation over at Jiangning."
"There's no rush." Mu Qing was drinking tea. She was calm and composed, unlike the style of a maid. Her countenance was beautiful, and her eyes were deep. She sat at the stone table in the bamboo forest, calm and tranquil.
At this time, there was no longer the amiable smile on her face. She was somewhat apathetic as she finally put down the teacup and said, "Be it the natives or the descenders, they are all clay chickens and pottery dogs to the prince."
Beside the great marsh, Chu Feng was searching and found some clues.
That was because he was a domain researcher. He could observe the topography of the mountains and explore the qi of the earth. He could accurately grasp the areas with high energy density and spiritual nature. He corrected them along the way and advanced along the correct path.
After crossing a swamp and passing through a stone forest filled with giant vines, he finally arrived at a plain!
Chu Feng knew he had come to the right place. He was already close to the qilin's old lair.
The plain was overflowing with white mist. This was the immortal mist of ancient legends. It was actually a type of energy substance that was extremely beneficial to living beings.
Staying in such an energy-rich environment all year round would naturally prolong one's lifespan. For evolvers, it would also greatly strengthen their physique.
"No wonder it's an old lair. The qilin had long since abandoned this place. An earth-shattering battle had erupted here and destroyed this place, leaving behind only ruins." Chu Feng frowned.
If that was the case, then this place definitely wasn't as heaven-defying as the true dragon's lair under the Eastern Sea. Otherwise, it would be another astonishing land of fortune.
"Eh, that's not right. It's not completely destroyed. There are ancient domains covering it. This place isn't simple."
Chu Feng was quite cautious. He tensed up his body and sealed his pores, not letting a single wisp of his aura seep out. He entered the white mist and approached the pure land within the plain.
There were ancient tribal ruins here. There were huge piles of ashes, collapsed city walls, and many beast bones. All of them were telling of the desolate times of the past.
But there were quite a number of highly evolved beings in that era. Some of them were even close to gods!
"Ah, I was too careless!"
Chu Feng's heart trembled. He hadn't even approached the qilin's old lair and was just passing through the ruins when someone discovered that it was a stone man.
It was originally silent and motionless. There wasn't even any spiritual energy seeping out of it. It was just like a dead object.
Even someone as powerful as Chu Feng's divine instincts couldn't sense that this was a living entity. He had completely ignored it.
Now, it suddenly opened its eyes. Its stone eyelids moved and immediately revealed two incomparably resplendent silver beams of light. A terrifying energy aura erupted in an instant.
"You dare trespass on the qilin's holy land? You're courting death!"
This was an extremely tyrannical entity. It was also a descender. Because it could remain motionless all year round and was able to blend in well with nature, it was in charge of guarding the passage outside the qilin's old lair.
Although it stayed in the outer regions all year round, its status couldn't be considered low. In fact, it was even higher than many extraterrestrials.
Normally, whenever there was fortune or fortune, it would definitely share in it. This was a powerful expert.
Chu Feng's heart trembled. This stone man was covered in dust and its body was made of old stone. At this time, it directly leapt up and pounced towards him. It even opened its mouth to whistle to warn him.
Chu Feng reacted quickly. He leapt up and threw himself over as if he were throwing his life away. He met this powerful stone man head-on.
Swoosh!
The next moment, the two of them disappeared. Chu Feng had dragged it into the pristine jade bottle because he was afraid it would alarm the qilin's lair.
Bang, bang, bang …
A fierce battle erupted. This stone man was extremely powerful with nine severed shackles. Apart from its stony exterior, its body was surging with blood energy. It had five viscera and six bowels, blood, and even a spiritual magnetic field.
This kind of lifeform was very special and powerful. Its combat strength alone was even greater than Han Wenze, Huang Weiyue, and the others combined.
Its blood energy surged as it roared. If it wasn't for the fact that it was inside the spatial bottle, it would've surged to the skies. It was enough to shake a mountain into pieces and blast a whole forest into smithereens.
Its strength was extraordinary!
But at this time, Chu Feng had long since severed his eighth shackle. His astonishing strength after his evolution was on full display. He was simply like a primordial beast.
Bang, bang, bang …
He faced the stone man head-on, continuously exchanging blows, directly fighting it head on, forcibly suppressing this special life form!
Boom!
In the end, he blasted the stone man into pieces. An astonishing blood energy pervaded the air and caused the spatial bottle to shake violently. It was extremely terrifying.
The Pristine Jade Bottle was sturdy enough to withstand it. Chu Feng had done some experiments before, so he wasn't too worried.
After two rounds of refinement by the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace, part of the seal on the spatial bottle had been undone. The space inside was over a thousand cubic meters.
With a flash, Chu Feng appeared above the ancient ruins.
"Eh?!" He was astonished to find a lizard-like monster with a pair of meaty wings in the distance. It was flapping its wings and piercing through the mist as it flew over at great speed. It seemed to have sensed something unusual.
It looked like a Western dragon, but it was definitely not one. It was exuding a vicious aura as it swooped down to investigate the area.
This was another sentinel in the vicinity who was guarding the path to the qilin's old lair.
Chu Feng bowed and went all out. An energy spear flew out from his back. It was simply too terrifying and indestructible.
This was a special ability bestowed upon him after severing his shackle. There was a golden energy spear nurtured there that resembled a dragon or serpent.
In order to end the battle quickly, this was the first time Chu Feng had used this trump card in combat.
He had tested it along the way and found that its power was astonishing.
Pfft!
It was simply too fast. The dragon or serpent soared into the air and the peerless divine spear flew out abruptly. It directly pierced through the creature's lower jaw and then through its skull. Blood sprayed out in all directions as the sinister and ferocious looking extraterrestrial fell to the ground.
With a swoosh, Chu Feng rushed over and caught it with the Pristine Jade Bottle before putting it away.
A one-hit kill. The ambush was a success!
Chu Feng was very satisfied with the results of this evolution. His strength had increased explosively after severing his eighth shackle and killing extraterrestrials wasn't too strenuous.
Hence, he desired to evolve once again.
After passing through this area, he saw the ruins of the qilin's lair in the depths of the plains. It was suffused with white mist and giant rocks.
Moreover, he saw an old tree just outside the lair with a number of golden fruits hanging on it. They hadn't fully ripened yet, but the fragrance of medicine was already pervading the air.
"A mutant fruit that can allow one to sever six shackles!" He was astonished. And this was only the outskirts!
Chu Feng believed that there were even more astonishing mutant trees in the depths of the qilin's lair.
