The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 527: On The Verge of The Storm

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

“No rush, I believe the saints in the starry skies aren’t mistaken in their deduction. There will be a chance for us to enter this planet’s main space.” Someone nodded with a deep, trusting smile.

Recently, some wise saints in the depths of the starry skies had deduced and come to a conclusion that, after the passage of many years, the domains on earth were no longer that precise in their operation.

This was related to the starry skies and the power of time. Just like a mechanical watch, there would always be an error at one point. It was unavoidable.

Too much time had passed from antiquity up until now and after so many battles, the domain “mechanical watch” of this planet was started to show some defects.

Some saints had made guesses that there would be a gap in the earth’s domains every ten years and one could charge in immediately during that gap.

But the opening was quite small and wouldn’t allow for entities that were too powerful. The limit was a golden arhat level evolver.

Additionally, the time was very short and fleeting.

At the same time, it was still very dangerous even if the sneak in was successful. That was because the earth’s will was gradually awakening and would try to correct the mistake.

Thus, they couldn’t stay long even after a successful descent and would have to leave as soon as possible.

Although time was limited, this gap was enough for someone at the golden arhat level. He could do many things during that period!

For instance, kill Chu Feng!

Some orthodoxies in the starry skies hated him to the bones. They definitely wouldn’t let him live should an opportunity arrive.

Naturally, killing Chu Feng wasn’t the sole reason for the arrival of so many people. One golden arhat level evolver was enough to kill him.

Now, at least dozens of orthodoxies had dispatched troops—some famous interstellar hunters and even cosmic mercenaries had arrived. This wasn’t as simple as just killing Chu Feng.

They wanted to grasp this opportunity to change into the earth and seize the fortunes.

At such a level, the leaders were all golden arhats. They were already considered almighty in the eyes of ordinary cultivators and it was too easy to do certain things.

The space outside of earth gradually calmed down as one army after another occupied their own region, waiting for the “gap” to appear.

Reported, it would appear within days at its earliest or maybe several months later if late.

At this moment, the leaders were each holding an ancient map. This was something they had spent significant sums to purchase.

Earth’s dynasties during its heyday, its evolver holy lands, and seabed cave residences, etc. were all recorded upon them. They were studying it because their time after entry was bound to be short and they needed to choose their objects beforehand. When the time came, they would use the golden arhat level strength to break through the restrictions and seize the fortunes directly.

They needed to act fast because time was limited!

In the cosmos, there were groups arriving continuously. There were interstellar hunters, holy land experts, and vagrant pirates, etc. The line up was extremely complicated.

But every unit was made up of at least 20 to 30 people. Even the biggest ones wouldn’t exceed 100 because the costs involved in traveling across the cosmos was fairly steep.

Wormholes had to be paid per head. This industry had more or less been monopolized by the Heaven-Piercing Wormhole Company.

Some powerful orthodoxies also had such secret techniques, but they weren’t experts in the end. Problems like ensuring safety and avoiding areas where cosmic beasts usually attacked usually involved time and money.

With so many groups arriving at this rate, there was bound to be a dense sea of creatures outside of earth.

Only a handful of them wanted to kill Chu Feng. Nine out of ten were here to pick up fortunes.

Earth, Eastern Sea.

Chu Feng experienced pressure as he walked over the sea regions. He checked the news on the photon computer with knitted brows.

Even golden arhat level-characters were about to enter. It was terrible news.

Chu Feng found Yuan Mo, Zi Luan, and the others amidst the waves and leapt onto the multi-colored ship.

Zi Luan as the first to report that Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu had wanted to escape. They even tried to bribe them, but Yuan Mo declined and caught them back.

When will you take out the Profound Magnetic Needles in our bodies?” Zi Luan said with a begrudged tone. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to run away, but because the needles would explode if she did.

These few days, she had already something wasn’t quite right. There was some pain in her body, which indicated that Chu Feng wasn’t just trying to scare her.

The needles might really explode if she ran away.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

Chu Feng extracted some of the Profound Magnetic needles from Zi Luan and Yuan Mo as a reward.

Afterwards, he gifted each of them some Golden Snake Fruits and a black jade bottle.

“Heavenly Flame Elixir!” Zi Luan was delighted. This item was extremely valuable and would have great beneficial effects while cultivating her secret arts. It could reduce the required time and could nurture the body after it was absorbed.

Yuan Mo was surprised. He hadn’t expected Chu Feng to give them the Heavenly Flame Elixir.

Beside them, Zhan He and Li Feng were gazing intently. They indeed wanted the item but found it embarrassing to say it out loud. It would be submitting to the demon completely and, in summary, they were unable to let go of their pride.

“Someone wanted to run away but you two didn’t stop them. So, you can forget about the Elixir.”

Zhan He and Li Feng were immediately disappointed and regretful.

After that the great demoness Zhao Qing was dissatisfied. She came to Chu Feng with a charming expression to claim some credit. It was she who had discovered that the two wanted to escape and informed Zi Luan.

In the distance, Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu were pale. At the same time, they felt betrayed and glared furiously at Zhao Qing with flames almost spewing out of their eyes.

Zhao Qing said disdainfully, “What are you glaring at? You two were secretly discussing how you would take me along and then abandon me halfway to attract the pursuers. Don’t think I don’t know about that.”

Chu Feng smiled after seeing this and gifted Zhao Qing one bottle as a reward.

The great demoness smiled sweetly and was even more alluring. Her slender body moved lithely as she came to massage Chu Feng’s shoulders.

“As for you two...” Chu Feng glanced at Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu. “have your families prepare one billion cosmic dollars each.”

“Eh?!”

Their beautiful faces turned pale. They had already handed him protection fees and now he was asking for more. This demon was too hateful and lacking in morals.

In the starry sky, Grandpa Luo and Qi’s hearts were dripping blood. Demon King Zhao’s granddaughter was earning money. In just a few days, she had obtained a bottle of priceless Heavenly Flame Elixir. Meanwhile, their granddaughters were asking for more protection fees.

The two were angry and wanted to play it tough.

But the shameless demon told them privately that they would have to wait and see their granddaughters’ “artistic photos” if they failed to hand over protection fees. He pledged to stream them live on the Origin Beast Platform.

The two old man’s faces turned green. Artistic photos my ass! The two knew that this demon wanted to sell a gravure collection.

That was because he had been muttering about selling gravure photobooks in addition to selling the divine sons and saintesses.

“Miaoxiang, don’t try to escape again without a proper opportunity. There’s not much left of your grandpa’s coffin savings.” Grandpa Luo reminded dispiritedly.

Grandpa Qi also reminded his granddaughter to hold on and not rush to escape.

Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu wanted to vomit blood after hearing this warning. Were they still their grandfathers? They were asking them not to run away just for cosmic dollars?

“Grandpa, what’s the meaning of this? Don’t run away?! Am I even your real granddaughter? Are you prepared to sell your granddaughter to this demon just for material fortunes?”

The two ladies were indignant.

“Nonsense!”

“Miaoxiang, I’ve already contacted the Dameng Pure Land and now we only have to wait for your distant cousin Qin Luoyin to exit isolated cultivation. Just hold on for now because, if you run away again, my coffin savings will be used up.” Grandpa Luo was dispirited, but what could he do? He had no choice but to bleed again.

Afterwards, Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu’s treatment aboard the multicolored ship declined sharply. They were relieved of the shoulder massage and assigned to work on his legs instead.

At the same time, they were also in charge of heating Chu Feng’s bathwater.

The two simply couldn’t stand it anymore. As saintesses of their respective races, they were proud ladies on their own planets. But they had become captives after coming to earth and became servants to be ordered about.

Qi Yu was dissatisfied and said angrily, “Chu Feng, you’re going too far. You’re actually bullying us! I’ll have you know that Miaoxiang’s cousin is Qin Luoyin. You can’t treat us like this. One must show respect for Buddha if not for the monk.”

Chu Feng replied calmly, “I wouldn’t order you about if she weren’t Qin Luoyin’s cousin. Go and bring me my footbath.”

“Ah...” The two ladies screamed. They simply couldn’t stand it anymore. Were they even supposed to carry his foot basin?

In truth, Chu Feng was using the Heavenly Flame Elixir to cultivate. Sometimes he would directly soak his feet in it to absorb its essence. This item was indeed extraordinary.

There was a certain burning pain after rubbing the elixir on the body, but it would increase nerve reactions and sharpen the brain. Its effects were astonishing when cultivating secret arts.

Additionally, the Heavenly Flame Elixir contained materials that nurtured the body. It couldn’t compare to the Hellish Ant Elixir, but it wasn’t bad either. His constitution had improved by about 15% within the day.

Chu Feng drew in a breath of cold air. No wonder Zi Luan and Yuan Mo were delighted. This item was extraordinary!

He did more research on his photon computer and found that the elixir was priceless and even golden arhat level evolvers had a use for it. It could help them cultivate secret arts and nurture the body.

It could improve one’s constitution by 30% at the maximum.

This was a permanent increase and would be useful all the way until passing the golden arhat level. It was useful for all evolvers.

Chu Feng noticed that he had nearly overlooked the Heavenly Flame Elixir because the effects of the Hellish Ant Elixir was too astonishing. But this was also an absolutely rare medicine!

It could improve one’s constitution by 30%. This was an exceptional accomplishment!

Chu Feng checked the price and found that it was indeed an exorbitant price!

A portion of Heavenly Flam Elixir was worth 50 billion cosmic dollars!

The key was that he had reaped a whole lot this time. It was the size of a small pond when added together and contained at least 50 if not 100 portions.

“This... isn’t inferior to selling divine sons and saintesses!” Chu Feng was dazed. He was truly careless.

Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu who were carrying Chu Feng’s footbath under Zi Luan’s instruction found their eyes frozen.

This black jade basin was actually filled with a bright red liquid—Heavenly Flame Elixir!

“Be careful while walking. You almost bumped into me.” Chu Feng reminded in dissatisfaction. He indicated for them to put down the footbath as he sat down and began to soak his feet.

The two girls stared fixedly at him. They wanted to reprimand him for wasting natural resources. Other people would split a single portion into eight to ten uses in order to maximize absorption. They would rub it on their skin very sparingly.

But now, what did they just see? This fellow used up three portions in one go. Goddamit! They couldn’t help but curse out loud. He was actually using the elixir as a foot bath.

“Saintesses, do my feet look good?” Chu Feng moved his feet and revealed them through the bright red liquid. He wasn’t entirely narcissistic—his foot was fairly lustrous because his body had transformed continuously.

“Ah!” The two girls blushed red and rapidly regained their wits.

“The Heavenly Flame Elixir should be rubbed on various parts of the body. Only then, its absorption will be optimal.” Qi Yu said in a soft voice. She truly felt that this was a type of squandering. Even the most powerful saintesses of a planet could only shake her head. This was simply too wasteful.

Chu Feng smiled without saying anything because he knew what he was doing. His legs were akin to roots as he circulated the robbery breathing technique and could absorb all of the elixir’s essence without wasting any.

He had used such a large amount to settle things in one go and directly raise his constitution by 30%. He didn’t have to grind slowly because the enemy might appear at any moment.

“Chu Feng please come over for a chat.” It was at this time that a somewhat aged voice rang in Chu Feng’s ears.

“Who are you?!” Chu Feng looked up and stared at a certain sea region.

The voice was very gentle. “Don’t be nervous. I have no evil intentions. I just want to introduce you to a good friend. They will be in the same boat as you in the future.”
