The Sacred Ruins

961 Chapter 960, the old road of the Heavenly Emperor

The Stone Fox, which had been silent for a hundred years, suddenly shouted out. This caused Chu Feng to stagger and slam it onto the ground with a loud thud. He decisively retreated.

The Little Vermillion Bird, on the other hand, was red all over and as long as a palm. It was originally standing there, feeling sad. Its large ruby-like eyes were filled with tears.

Now, it was frightened and screeched. Flapping its fiery wings, it fell out and stopped in the distance. It was timid, afraid, and quite frightened.

“Little Bastard, do you want to kill me with a fall? !”The Stone Fox was extremely angry. It sensed that Chu Feng had just lifted it up. was he really going to throw it into the depths of the forbidden area?

The most infuriating thing was that he had actually thrown him onto the ground in the end.

Chu Feng’s expression was solemn as he said, “Senior, do you know that I’ve saved you once again? You owe me a great karma!”

He was a typical evil person who would complain first and try his best to claim credit.

Chu Feng told the crippled heavenly venerate that if he hadn’t woken him up, the Stone Fox would never wake up again. It could already be considered to have died an ice-cold death.

If the Stone Fox hadn’t become a statue, he would have looked at him from the corner of his eyes and given him a fox claw to let him understand why the flowers were so red.

The Little Vermillion Bird’s large eyes were filled with tears as he cried and laughed. “Senior, it’s fortunate that Chu Feng woke you up. You’ve been extinct for a hundred years and we all thought you’d passed away.”

If the Stone Fox had flesh and blood, his face would definitely twitch. But luckily, that brat? He had completely woken up from his anger!

He really wanted to say that he hadn’t died at all and had always been alive. It was just that he didn’t want to pay attention to Chu Feng and save his essence energy while he was in hibernation.

“I didn’t expect that you little bastard to be so vicious. You actually wanted to kill me and throw me into the depths of the forbidden land!”He reprimanded Chu Feng.

Chu Feng immediately laughed. He had always suspected that this old fellow hadn’t died. After all, he was a heavenly venerate from the yang-realm. How could he die so easily.

Moreover, even if he died, he would probably cause a huge commotion.

With this stone Fox’s character, he would most likely not die of cowardice. Looking at his usual appearance, he had always been unwilling. How could he die in silence alone.

All in all, the crippled heavenly venerate seemed quite kind, but there was definitely a lot of bad water in his bone marrow that hadn’t come out yet.

“Senior, give us a hand. Go to the forbidden land and help us obtain a few fortunes!”Chu Feng asked for his help.

“If I could take action, would I still be crippled and petrified? Who would want to stay in this hopeless world?”Crippled Celestial Master shook his head and sighed. He couldn’t help with just one sentence.

“There’s no need for you to take action. I’ve already stepped into the peak of the sagemaster realm and almost touched the domain of divine masters. After a hundred years of loneliness, I’ve finally figured out a method, but it requires the cooperation of others. Now it seems that your immortal celestial body is the most suitable to block a certain key node in the forbidden land and help us block the attacks...”

“Stop talking!”The Stone Fox’s expression was gloomy. was he using it as a sack to plug the gap in the energy dam and meet the onslaught of the monstrous flood of order?

“Are you agreeing?”Chu Feng looked like he was trying to curry favor with him.

“Go to the side. I Can’t stand the sight of you!”The crippled heavenly venerate refused no matter what. He directly said some terrifying things. It wasn’t as if the heavenly venerate had never died in the forbidden grounds of the Yang-realm. He had seen it with his own eyes.

“With your great ability, you should be enough to act as a shield to block more than ten murderous attacks. I can guarantee your safety!”

Although crippled Celestial Master was petrified, he could clearly see that his face had turned black. It wasn’t enough to block once, but more than a dozen times. He wanted to spit at Chu Feng’s face full of golden lotus saliva.

Seeing that his face was black, Chu feng further persuaded him, “I’ve done experiments. I once picked up a half-divine short knife and slashed you forty to fifty times. You didn’t react and didn’t even wake up. There weren’t even scratches on your body.”

“I’ll slap you to death!”The Stone Fox shook violently. It couldn’t fly up and give him a slap. This bastard was actually using a knife on its body?

“I don’t have any malicious intent. I’m just testing how tough your heavenly venerate body is. Facts have proven that you’re fine even after being slashed twenty-eight times. This proves that your constitution is unrivalled and you’re definitely qualified to help us block the several killing tribulations in the forbidden area.”

Chu Feng dawdled and told the stone fox that he had used his domain methods to calculate. After blocking those several killing tribulations, he would be able to obtain some good things in the forbidden area. They were all great fortunes!

“I’ll destroy you!”The Stone Fox clanged and a weak light emitted from his body. He rolled over and crashed towards Chu Feng.

At the same time, his face was covered in black stone stripes. “You want to use me as a meat shield and say that my skin is firm? Are you mocking this heavenly venerate?”

In the end, Chu Feng failed to invite him. Under his repeated clarifications, the stone fox gave him some advice. If he could enter the divine realm, there was still hope. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to enter the ninth heaven of the forbidden land.

Chu Feng sighed and silently turned around to cultivate. There were still eight months before the hundred-year time node. Time really wasn’t enough. The most effective shortcut to becoming a god was to obtain the divine nucleus in the forbidden land!

Unfortunately, this path couldn’t be taken and he still had to rely on himself.

He had been stuck at the peak of the illumination realm for some years, just like how he had broken through to the great circle of the saint level back then. He was only one layer away from breaking through, but he was still unable to break through.

Over the years, he had killed quite a number of illuminators in the forbidden area and absorbed enough divine particles.

“You’re too eager to succeed. The faster you are, the slower you’ll be. The more you want to break through, the more the order in the unseen world will suppress you and make you unable to move. You Won’t be able to comprehend the final step of becoming a god,”stone fox instructed.

This time, Chu Feng was quiet and listened attentively. He looked as if he was asking for advice with an open mind.

And then... There was nothing else. The Stone Fox didn’t mention the method of becoming a god. He simply didn’t have the desire to preach the Dao.

“Senior, you’re making fun of me.”Chu Feng looked down on him.

The stone fox said seriously, “Successive generations of heavenly venerates, the almighty experts before the ancient era, have never heard of needing guidance when breaking through. They would rather be stuck at a certain level for a long time than give up the opportunity to comprehend the Dao. That’s an opportunity. It’s a competition with the heavens and snatching the fragments of fate in the heaven and earth. Are you willing to give up?”

Chu Feng sighed. Right now, he only wanted to become a god. His body had accumulated quite a bit of gray mist and he had come from an unorthodox background. He simply didn’t want to use this opportunity to look down on the world. There was no need for him to be perfect at this stage.

“I’m only trying to become a god and increase my combat power. I really don’t have much time.”

“It’s not good to be so eager to achieve instant success. Don’t be blinded by hatred and ruin your future,”the crippled heavenly venerate advised solemnly.

Chu Feng sighed lightly and said, “I’m doing this for revenge, but also for cultivation. I’ve prepared a way out for myself and found a method. It’s recorded in the manual you gave me on how to nurture the strongest geniuses.”

The Stone Fox pondered and was moved. “You’re talking about a broken path, one year old and one withered and prosperous. In the end, it will rise from decline to prosperity? !”

It was truly shocked. Naturally, it understood how difficult this path was. It was simply a dead end. It was extremely bumpy and incomparably bumpy.

“It wasn’t easy to reach this step, but I still missed the golden evolution path. That was a stage that I had already lost. Moreover, I have a strange substance on me. No matter what, in order to become the strongest, there are too many flaws at this stage. Only the path of destruction can allow me to rise.”

This path was prepared for those who had regrets in the early stages and missed the golden evolution period. They had to rebuild their true selves in the midst of destruction and earn a new life.

The prerequisite was that one could bear it. This path was too difficult, and one would easily self-decay and become eternally silent.

Even the handwritten note warned that since ancient times, there were very few who could succeed. Those who did not have great determination should give up, or they would be courting death.

Shi Hu sighed and said, “This is actually an incomplete technique my master collected. It’s not complete. Of course, at your current realm, you can still use it. After all, you’re still far from becoming a heavenly venerate.”

“Incomplete technique?”Chu Feng was stunned.

It made sense when he thought about it carefully. This was like a flawed technique with the boldness to rise after being broken. However, he vaguely felt that something was missing.

“Have you studied it carefully? Have you truly comprehended it?”Stone Fox looked at him, he continued, “This method treats itself as a foreign land, burying a seed in the core of your flesh and Soul Light. The original you will continue to be broken, waiting for the birth of the new me. How cruel is this process?”

At the same time, it solemnly informed him that the separation between the old me and the new me, the opposition, the abandonment and cultivation, were too contradictory and painful.

The growth of the new self would be joyful, but the death of the old self was filled with great sorrow and despair. It was the original soul that was drying up, like a strange land, sacrificing itself.

This was a cruel path, and it was not smooth sailing. Some people were torn into two people, one thought becoming a god, the other a devil. They were born in opposition to each other.

Some people died in the process of being torn apart, and were burned to ashes by the boundless karmic fire that was attracted by such a heaven-defying move.

Some people were even more “Old me”who took the advantage and killed the new me, as if proving that this path was wrong. They died after a great defeat, and in the end, they also endured the death of their old self, completely disappearing from heaven and earth, never to be seen again in the cycle of reincarnation.

“In the end, they cultivated an origin embryo, with flesh, blood, and soul light. However, they struggled out of the withered old me, and watched their old self wither and die, turning into old skin and broken bones. How cruel was that?”

The crippled heavenly venerate sighed. Even he felt that this path couldn’t be taken by ordinary people. There had been so many peerless geniuses since ancient times, but not many people could walk this path.

Chu Feng felt a headache after hearing this. He hadn’t learned so much from the strongest manual and was indeed somewhat awe-inspiring now.

“There aren’t many paths I can choose. I didn’t think it was too terrifying back then, so this naturally became an important path. Moreover, I’ve seen clear records of this method. It can remove all strange substances and no longer fear the gray fog!”Chu Feng said.

It could destroy strange substances. This was one of the important reasons why he had chosen this path back then.

At the same time, once this path was successful, it would truly be incomparably powerful. It could be seen from the few words in the handwritten letter that even the crippled heavenly venerate’s master, the Almighty, was exclaiming in admiration. His words were full of admiration for that kind of dao fruit, he wished he could walk through it once more.

The handwritten letter was written by Stone Fox’s master. Within it were the methods that the almighty had collected from various places in the Yang realm to nurture the strongest geniuses.

“You must be careful!”The crippled heavenly venerate warned Chu Feng repeatedly. This path was too difficult and was no different from suicide.

At the same time, he also mentioned that this method wasn’t complete and was suspected to lack a corresponding supreme breathing technique. This was because the creator was too heaven-defying back then. Without his breathing technique, it would be half the work and half the effort.

“What kind of broken path is this? who was the first to walk it?”Chu Feng asked seriously.

“It seems to be the old path of the heavenly monarch,”Shi Hu said leisurely.

“What? This was created by that person in your Yang Realm’s heavenly monarch calendar?”Chu Feng was shocked.

“No,”Shi Hu shook his head and said, “It’s a broken technique from prehistoric times. There were once high and mighty existences in this world. Even if they had disappeared and were no longer around, the remnants they left behind also proved the supreme glory and brilliance of the past. At present, we’re just witnesses on the road. We’ll walk along their path in search of even further paths. We’re still not strong enough. We can’t see where the end of some of the paths had been cut off.”
