Chapter 813: The Path of the Deities’ Later Years

Before he came here, there were no abnormalities on Chu Feng’s body, but some patterns resembling shining ripples appeared on his body when he was a few hundreds of meters away from the grindstone.

“Calm down!” Chu Feng grabbed the Little Daoist.

He always had his guard up against his son for fear that this little thing would make a move on him out of anger. Even if he beat this brat up a few times before, he was still extremely cautious toward him at all times.

“Demon, you snuck a sneak attack on me and snatched my black talisman paper and even lied to me that you’ll return it to me with thanks. What more can you say now that you’ve been exposed?” questioned the Little Daoist with reddened eyes.

In reality, Chu Feng was also puzzled himself. He really didn’t use that black talisman paper and had kept it hidden at all times in the starry sky with the stone box.

“Look at it carefully. Other than black light, there’s a silver radiance, purple afterglow, and golden flames...” said Chu Feng as he explained to the Little Daoist.

“Amitabha, Innumerable Deity! You really are ruthless! You only collected this many after mounting so many sneak attacks. Are you showing off to the Little Daoist?!” The Little Daoist was extremely angry.

At the same time, he was extremely surprised because he thought that Chu Feng had robbed a number of outstanding talents favored by the heavens. They were originally outstanding talents from a world who had the resources of deities, yet Chu Feng had stopped them in their tracks.

Other than that, he was fuming with rage as he extremely despised his father for being excessively shameless and lacking in virtue!

Chu Feng pledged in a very solemn manner as he told the Little Daoist that he only robbed him and definitely didn’t lay a hand on anyone else.

“Ouch! I’m just like Uncle Wudi. My heart is unbearably painful. I, the Little Daoist, wants to vomit blood. How can I be so unlucky?! You only robbed one person, so why did you have to have your attention on me? What kind of eyesight do you have? Do you see me as being easy to bully?!”

The Little Daoist appeared to be seething with anger and couldn’t be more furious than he was as he was hopping mad here. Even if the matter had passed, he couldn’t endure it either.

Chu Feng ignored him and was attentively thinking matters through. After that, he knew where the root cause was. When he had sat beside the clay idol in front of the Reincarnation Cave, he had received the burning of talisman paper and joss sticks. A sparkling and translucent yet abstruse pattern rippled at that time and coiled around his wrist. After that, he used the Diamond Chakram to accept the talisman paper and burning of joss stick on his behalf.

It now seemed as though it didn’t matter if it was the Diamond Chakram or if was him in the flesh, both parties enjoyed the benefits of the offering like the clay idol.

The Little Daoist had also lit his black talisman paper before too and offered it as a sacrifice there, but Chu Feng had snuck an attack on him and slapped it out of his hand. The black talisman paper then stopped burning after he snatched it away.

Even though only a corner had been lit, it was still a sacrificial offering in the end and Chu Feng has absorbed a wisp of black light away.

When he heard Chu Feng speak of such matters he wished to keep secret, the Little Daoist had mixed expressions on his face. Other than feeling choked up with stress in his heart when he looked at Chu Feng, he too was somewhat speechless.

This father really knew how to torment someone far too well. He dared to run to the end of the Reincarnation Road to intercept someone yet he didn’t die. He really had a long life!

There was something he couldn’t understand and that was even if he was the ancestor of a world and dared to disturb unrivalled powerhouses, there was no doubt that he would die. So why was it different with this father of his who had an awfully delicate face?

He seriously suspected that Chu Feng had a valuable treasure on him which was even of a supreme grade that could intimidate everything.

If not, he felt that his father would have been crushed into slag at the Radiant City of Death’s lower millstone. How could he possibly run to the end of the Reincarnation Road and torment those people who were over there?

“Father, look at the path we evolvers walk on. It’s too dangerous and we might die midway at every turn. Even though you’re at the prime of your life and have great golden years ahead of you, you can’t be unprepared and not guard against it. What happens if you’re involved in an accident? You should draw up a will early on. I’m your only son. What do you intend to leave to you? Does our Chu Family have any mysterious martial arts and Dao weapons that can be passed on to later generations? You should reveal all of them to me ahead of time.”

The front half was still alright and Chu Feng was still nodding, but the latter part of what he said had an abnormal flavor to it. His eyes immediately widened on the spot. This little brat was really asking for a beating!

“You dare to curse your old man?!”

Crickle, crackle!

Chu Feng immediately gave him a beating and not a single person beside him stopped him from doing so. Even Qin Luoyin didn’t protect the Little Daoist as she watched him get beaten out. On the other hand, the silver-haired little lolita, Ying Wudi, and Ouyang Feng were even clapping and pleasantly praising his actions.

Chu Feng gave him a beating and carefully mulled it over. He reckoned this son suspected and surmised that he had a valuable treasure on him.

“Son, you dare to deceive your father?! You’re still too young for that!” Chu Feng warned.

Ouyang Feng stepped forward and patted the Little Daoist on the shoulder as he said “Great Nephew, you have to be a little more filial in the future. If not, with your father’s efficiency, you already have a Second and Little Third Mother now. Is your Fifth and Sixth Mother that far away? You’ll have a bunch of siblings and many competitors.”

“Beat it, Jun Tuo’s son!” said the Little Daoist.

“F*ck!” Ouyang Feng pushed up his sleeves as he was ready to fight.

Hazy mist covered the region ahead of the few of them. A lower millstone that had a diameter of about five hundred meters extended all the way over there as it slowly turned with Primal Chaotic qi revolving around it.

They felt pressured when they were still a distance away.

The hills and withered earth that bore no signs of life behind them was gradually getting hazy too as they walked into the edge of the Primal Chaos.

The lower millstone was very large and the stone was very rough. It was slowly turning with a very regular rhythm. Not only did they feel as though they would be crushed into a pulp, but even godly demons did too if they entered the lower millstone.

“It’s extremely dangerous. Based on our current level of evolution, it’s practically impossible for us to enter the lower millstone,” said Ying Zhexian.

They didn’t use the special technique too many times in half the year since then. Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng especially; they practically didn’t use it at all.

That was because based on their understanding of the situation, if someone had gone through the heaven tribulation three times before and went through it again within a year, the lightning would be more than ten times more powerful than before!

Based on the theory of karma, this was heaven’s warning that serial murders and those who harmed the natural order of the world would receive destructive punishment!

If Chu Feng had a physical body, he wouldn’t feel too afraid even if the heaven tribulation became abnormally terrifying. But it was different now; he really didn’t dare to risk his life now that he only had his soul body.

He could only court death by being ignorant and arrogant!

Qin Luoyin was delicate and graceful as she observed from where she was and said, “There are traces of spotted blood on the lower millstone that haven’t dried up even after many years had passed. It’s still emitting red lusters of light which can even make one feel fear and trepidation. This should be the blood of deities.”

“Where did these deities end up going at the end when they walked on this path?” Ying Wudi frowned too.

The deities of this world had a relatively miserable life once they reached their later years. When they were at the prime of their lives, their power rose high above the world, but their later years were too terrifying as they could only walk far away from their native land.

This was a deity road!

There was no doubt that there was definitely an extraordinary item on this road. They came here because they wanted to experience it for themselves.

“Father, are you going to go into the lower millstone and give yourself a round of crushing?” asked the Little Daoist. He really wanted to remind him to quickly draw up his will again.

Yet Chu Feng shot a sidelong glance at him and he immediately shut his mouth as he didn’t dare to say anything anymore.

“Don’t mess about,” Ying Zhexian warned Chu Feng.

Ever since they knew that Chu Feng had once ran to the Reincarnation Road to torment others, they felt deeply astonished at the kind of vigour he had and was afraid that he was now going to creating something from nothing again.

Qin Luoyin was especially afraid. She felt uneasy and unnatural when she thought about the lower millstone, reincarnation, and purgatory. She took a glance at the Little Daoist and felt that that place was too messy.

“In some sense, only my father can step across this millstone of life or death. He once shamelessly enjoyed the benefits of sacrificial objects with a clay idol. He has the light of a few talisman papers on him that can protect his soul so that he can safely pass through reincarnation,” said the Little Daoist.

He felt that the lower millstone here was similar to the reincarnation millstone. It might be a kind of emergence once they crossed over this place and they might reach an entirely new world.

“Are you that expectant for me to stupidly shove my head in? You disobedient child!” Chu Feng pulled him over and gave him a vicious trashing again with his palm.

Everyone was accustomed to this. This father-son pair was too avant-garde; the son was always thinking of defrauding the father, but a Daoist was a third of a meter tall yet a demon was three times taller, so the Little Daoist was the one who always got hurt.

“Mother dearest, I want to bid you farewell. I want to be reincarnated once more and be a fetus once more after this father returns my balck talisman paper back to me. I can’t pass the days like this anymore. So be it if I call a foe my father, but I still have to take a beating every day. How can I, the Little Daoist, who has the background of a deity tolerate this?!”

The group of people sneered as they didn’t have any sympathy for him.

Only Qin Luoyin pulled his ear and gave him a good lesson.

Chu Feng had been waiting from the beginning as he wandered around this place. He still didn’t burst in hastily. Based on what they understood about the situation, this lower millstone would stop spinning once in awhile. Comparatively speaking, that would be a little safer.

They kept watch over here and half a year passed as they waited.

They had already been in this world for about a year. At present, Chu Feng, Ouyang Feng and the rest could use the special technique without the slightest hint of restraint and didn’t have to worry about the punishment of facing the heaven tribulation ten folds.

“I’m not going to wait any longer! I’m going to go in and take a look!” Chu Feng made such a decision.

He knew that even if he continued waiting, there would be no outcome. Even for deities, it was very difficult for them to wait for that kind of opportunity, so how would it be possible for him to encounter it coincidentally?

The silver haired little lolita immediately had a sorrowful expression across her whole face as she said, “Elder Brother-in-Law, you can’t commit suicide. Even if your son is unfilial, it’s not so bad that you have to commit suicide. You should live as you are and let my Elder Sister birth you another child in the future!”

The Little Daoist cursed.

He was cursing because what did it have to do with him in the slightest? Who didn’t know what kind of person his father was? On what basis was she blaming him? He wasn’t going to be the scapegoat of this.

Ying Zhexian’s complexion similarly darkened slightly. She gave her younger sister a painful beating without showing the slightest bit of mercy. She felt that it was necessary to disciple her. If not, this younger sister of hers was too unreasonable.

“Are you really going to go in and throw your life away?” Ying Wudi looked at Chu Feng in doubt. From his point of view, this was no different from committing suicide.

“Little Brother-in-Law, let us forgive and forget with a smile. If something unexpected happens to me, can you...”

Ying Wudi glared at him. This fellow was getting more and more arrogant for him to call him little brother-in-law directly. He hatefully interrupted him and said, “Don’t talk rubbish. Go at ease. Have a safe journey. I’ll take good care of my Elder Sister!”

It didn’t seem like auspicious words no matter how he listened to it.

“No, you misunderstood the meaning behind my words. I want to say that If something unexpected really did happen to me, can you... stay a little further away from your Elder Sister?”

Motherf*cker!” Ying Wudi got really angry. This shameless person was really bossy. Nothing good came out of his mouth.

“Having an older sister complex is a kind of illness. You should go out more often and take more walks. You’ll discover that there are too many beautiful things in this world. In any case, if I don’t return, don’t revolve yourself around your Elder Sister. You should walk as far away from her as you can,” said Chu Feng as he conveyed his sincere and earnest wishes to him.

“Disappear immediately!” Ying Wudi wanted to hit him. When did he become someone who had an older sister complex? Motherf*cker! He really wanted to beat Ying Xiaoxiao up, but he wanted to trample on this great demon to death!

“Brother, don’t take risks.” Ouyang Feng was very worried.

“It’s alright. I know what’s going on.” Chu Feng consoled him.

After that, he spoke to Qin Luoyin in a low voice and sincerely expressed himself for dragging her into this. At the same time, he reminded her that she should throttle this child as soon as possible if there was something amiss with him.

“Hey! What are you saying?!” The Little Daoist had been eavesdropping all this time with his ears branched out at them. He was angry on the spot and the hatred he held was out of the question.

“Son, I know roots aren’t normal. The few strongest ancient imperial courts and sacred lands from your world were annihilated and only managed to bring out a black talisman paper from the first forbidden land, yet they gave it to you. There must be a reason behind it if you think about it. Since you’re out of the common run, protect your mother well!”

Whoosh! Once Chu Feng finished talking, he leaped forward into the millstone and charged right in as he wanted to enter the road the deities walked in their later years.

Creak, creak, creak!

Even if it was only a ray of soul light that flew in, the grindstone still made a sound as though it was crushing a stiff object. In a split second, it covered Chu Feng where he was.

“Chu Feng!” shouted the group.

That was because they saw what they suspected to be Chu Feng’s soul light disintegrating.

“Father!” The Little Daoist shrieked even more miserably as his heart tore and his lungs split open.

But Chu Feng’s soul light regrouped after a few rays of light on his body flickered and he reappeared once more.

But the crisis hadn’t been removed. The grindstone rumbled and it officially started to turn as it crushed him and was about to engulf him completely.

“Chu Feng, you have to live!” shouted the others.

The Little Daoist was also increasingly aggrieved as she shouted, “Father... you haven’t drawn up your will! Where is the most valuable treasure passed down in your family?!”

“You unfilial son!” Chu Feng was so angry he almost charged out of the grindstone. He was going to pare him later on.

But the grindstone flashed and swallowed him whole as it crushed him mercilessly.
