Chapter 754: Blazing Phoenix

Translator: Alsey  Editor: Chrissy

The Undead galaxy was a starry sea with dense life energy. Habitable planets could be found throughout the galaxy and it was thriving very much.

Ancient books recorded that this was formerly the homeland of the Phoenixes. They controlled many planets at one time, but they fought an outer race at close quarters and they died out as a whole. This was during an era that couldn’t be confirmed through textual research.

Some people said that Phoenixes had displayed various secret arts before and hoped to reach nirvana so they could be reborn. As a result, it contributed to this starry domain’s brimming vitality.

But they never appeared, so such a divine bird could no longer be seen in this whole universe.

It was very difficult to imagine that this divine bird that was on par with the Dragon Race could actually head for annihilation. No one really knew just what kind of opponent they had encountered.

“Many powerhouses conducted textual research in recent ancient times. The ancestor from my race once said that the Phoenixes might have been annihilated because they started a war with the people from the Yang realm,” said the large man from the Deity Race.

At this moment, Chu Feng’s party had arrived at the Undead galaxy.

Chu Feng was spellbound for a moment. He discovered that the Yang realm was involved in various major events; from Hell to the most terrifying ancient battle in the depths of the starry sea all the way to the primal chaotic universe.

Flying Phoenix Planet was a massive planet and overlooked the starry sky. It had magnificent mountains and rivers and had cities everywhere.

Chu Feng’s party had arrived near a grand city — Blazing Phoenix City.

Blazing Phoenix City was extremely famous. It could be considered to be Undead galaxy’s main capital city. It was absolutely grand and flourishing and there were various races residing here.

The main point was that there were many delivery domains here that could connect directly with Deity planet, Quasi-sage planet and Buddhist planet. One could reach those planets very quickly.

As such, people were walking to and fro. Many powerful races chose to do business here. Not only could one see the Origin Demon Race, Dao Race, Deity Race, Demon Race as well as the renowned seniors of top ten here, but they could also see the elites from each race ranked in the top one hundred in the universe.

The Undead galaxy’s Blazing Phoenix City formed a link that connected all parties. Arenas, medicine pavilions, secret treasure workshops, and everything one could think of could be found here. The number of business transactions done here every day reached astronomical figures.

The first reason Chu Feng came here was to gain knowledge and experience, and the second was that it was very convenient to go to Dameng Pure Land from here. This place had a large specialised delivery domain. It would be convenient and spare him any worry when it was really time for him to head over there.

“What a big city.”

A wave of emotion hit him and he sighed. He even felt slightly dizzy.

This city wall was excessively high like a mountain ridge extending all the way across. It was made by piling reddish-brown boulders up together. It had a sort of ancient primitive aura to it as though it still bore the scent of blood.

There faintly seemed to be runes circulating on the wall. There were many magnetic rocks and high quality jades buried in the city walls. A large domain was laid out here that was enough to ward off a violent attack from an army.

If the common secret treasure collided against the wall, it was reckoned that the wall would still be in perfect condition whereas the weapon would snap!

It was very lively in the city. Chu Feng felt as though his eyes weren’t enough to see all there was to see. There really was all kinds of races. There was the Dog-headed Person, Silver Dragon, Fallen Angel, Dragon Sparrow Tao Tie and so on so forth. There were too many races!

People walked back and forth along the streets, hitting his face with surging mortal qi.

Chu Feng felt as though he wasn’t in a gigantic evolution city, but rather he had walked into the world of ancient mortals.

That was especially the case when he heard heard sounds of bartering because there was suddenly chaos in the wind.

“The millennial treasured medicine, Tanghulu! Don’t miss out on it as you walk by!”

Chu Feng was very speechless when he heard that and immediately curled his lips. Who are you lying to? Is a millennial Tanghulu still edible? It would’ve rotted away a long time ago.

The evolver selling the Tanghulu had sharp ears. He heard Chu Feng mumbling to himself and was immediately unhappy. “Little big brother, you really aren’t paying attention. Take a look for yourself. Isn’t this the Zijin Fruit only flowers and bears fruit once in a hundred years? It’s been hanging on the end of a branch for seven or eight hundred years. When you add it all up together, isn’t it a treasured millennial medicine?”

“That’s right. This spirit medicine is real. Those who eat it can have sharp ears and keen eyes. But the key point is that it can strengthen one’s muscles and bone as well as nourish their blood and essence,” someone from the same profession explained to Chu Feng.

“One please,” said CHu Feng. Why did he feel like he suddenly became a country bumpkin who hadn’t even eaten a Tanghulu before?

After that, a group of people around him fought to settle the bill.

“Soul Nourishing Lotus. Wow, it’s the genuine great medicine! It just got dug up from Hell and is on sale now!”

Someone publicised as they stood by the doorway of a medicine pavilion a distance away. It immediately caused a commotion as many people on the street flocked over and made it impenetrable.

Chu Feng and the rest stepped forth to see what all the fuss was about.

Hell was an extremely dangerous place. There were large amounts of Hell Ants in the outer regions that could even nibble and gnaw through golden arhats, so one could only imagine what the depths of Hell was like.

Rumour had it that there might be Black Hell Dragons there. It was incomparably frightening.

But there were many exquisite things from Hell. Those who could return alive would reap a great profit.

“It really is a Soul Nourishing Lotus aged at nine thousands years. I reckon not many people can afford it, right?” someone muttered.

This item was extremely beneficial to one’s spiritual power. After devouring it, it could increase one’s spiritual power regardless of how weak or powerful the individual’s spiritual power was. Which cultivator wouldn’t like it?

“Yes. Let me make it clear. This Soul Nourishing Lotus can’t be settled with universe coins. We want a drop of Deity Elixir.”

When the crowd heard this, a majority of them walked away immediately. The Deity Elixir alone was valued at ten billion universe coins and even so, they might not be able to purchase it.

Someone in the cosmic black market was selling it, but even then, it was extremely sparse.

“Let’s go. This shop is too ruthless. This item isn’t worth the price at all.” Many people were furious.

This had aroused Chu Feng’s interest on the other hand. He heard rumours that the Soul Nourishing Lotus could increase one’s spiritual power and he wasn’t short of Deity Elixir on him nor was he short on deceiving the Deity Race.

That was especially the case since Uncle Ming and the rest had really found a lot of Soul Elixirs from the Deity Race’s direct descents that last time they massacred Deity planet.

If no one was paying attention, he didn’t mind paying the price because he really wanted to buy it. However, a large man from the Deity Race was following beside him.

“Brother, this is a store that robs their customers. Don’t look around here anymore. Let’s go to another shop. Even if they have items even better than this one, it’s not worth a drop of Deity Elixir. This shop is only deceiving those powerhouses who urgently need the Soul Nourishing Lotus to save their lives.”

Chu Feng nodded when he heard this. He didn’t want to be some kind of foolish spendthrift.

Soon, an even greater disturbance was triggered somewhere in the city so much so that it immediately caused a massive commotion. Countless people surged over in that direction and many people were making a racket.

The Heavenly Book Palace was selling various fighting techniques and scriptures. It was extremely famous in the starry sky and now they were actually selling the Deity breathing technique.

The eyes of large man from the Deity Race standing beside Chu Feng immediately turned red. This was their race’s secret that wasn’t passed on to anyone else, yet someone was actually peddling it off. It was really preposterous.

When Chu Feng heard this, he knew what was going on. Uncle Ming and his party breached Deity planet and found pieces of core techniques from the main halls of a few martial arts temples. When the pieces were put together, it was enough for one to cultivate to the golden body realm.

Now, a share of elite evolvers on Earth and even Chu Feng had committed this portion of breathing technique to memory and were preparing to practice it.

Needless to say, that group of old sages from the cosmic black market had caused this ruckus. They made a duplicate of that segment to sell it.

As expected, the person from the Heavenly Book Palace explained, “Everyone, an old man originally left it here and consigned it for sale. It has nothing to do with us. We are only receiving a commission from this.”

“Brother Wu, I’ll be taking my leave for now. I have to return to my race.” The large man from the Deity Race appeared to be in a hurry as he quickly left.

“I’m sure we’ll meet again some day!” Chu Feng cupped his fists.

He secretly grumbled to himself, That group of people from the cosmic black market really do know how to do business. It goes without saying that they sold an unknown number of this breathing technique on the sly.

He used his photon computer to check it out and as expected, the cosmic black market had flared up a long time ago. Many anonymous users were purchasing it and it was it went without thinking that those in the top ten were definitely amongst them; they weren’t afraid that the cosmic black market would renege on a debt.

“That’s good too. I can cultivate the Deity breathing technique openly.” Chu Feng smiled.

But soon after, he secretly left a comment in code for the big black yak and the rest to quickly start a price war by selling the Deity and Spirit Race breathing technique.

There was a tremendous harvest from Earth this time. He had snatched the first half of the breathing techniques belonging to a few races.

For example, the Netherworld Race’s breathing technique was priceless too. It was ranked eleven, yet it was weaker than the Deity Race’s breathing technique.

Naturally, the Mechanical Race’s breathing technique was of little value. The metallic man’s breathing rhythm truly didn’t keep in step with that of other living beings.

“Everyone, you don’t have to accompany me anymore. Let’s meet again if fate has it,” said Chu Feng to the others. He really wasn’t used to having a group of people gathering around him and ridding him of any personal space he had.

One had to know that he was not only Wu Lunhui, but he was Chu Feng too. He had too many secrets and so it really wasn’t convenient to have a group of people following him.

“Alright! Let’s meet again if fate allows it, Brother Wu!” These people went on their way one after the other. They emphasised once more that they hoped he could visit their race. The renowned seniors of these sects had already exhorted them to rope Wu Lunhui in and extended a symbol of peace to him.

Chu feng stayed in Blazing Phoenix City. When the time arrived, he would go to Dameng Pure Land’s meeting. He didn’t dare to go far for fear that he would miss this gargantuan opportunity.

He rented a cave dwelling in the city and cultivated countless times in a day from the Dao Induction breathing technique to the Spirit Race breathing technique before cultivating the Netherworld breathing technique. The result was out of the ordinary.

The Deity Race breathing technique in particular was seriously and surprisingly effective. It made his whole body shine and his bones crackle. It tempered the roots of his bones and even his bone marrow became pure, sparkling and translucent.

Chu Feng felt that he could breakthrough even if he continued training like this without eating the mutant fruit!

“The Deity Race breathing technique is marvelous beyond compare. It really is impressive!” Chu Feng cultivated in this manner for a few days and comprehended hints of a few exquisite techniques.

After that, he circulated the Phoenix breathing technique. Yang qi immediately filled his whole body. A heat wave surged up violently and he had a new kind of feeling.

“There’s still time. When I enter the Dameng Pure Land’s dreaming of a hundred years in one night, I might be able to consume a few kinds of breathing techniques in their entirety. When that time comes, I’ll definitely benefit massively from it!”

Chu Feng felt that the Deity and Netherworld breathing techniques were so impressive that they shocked the world. But he had just obtained superficial knowledge a few days after he mastered them and needed to go a step further to unearth them.

He was striving to increase his strength once more before he entered Dameng Pure Land. After all, he was going to be confronting the geniuses from the whole universe when the time came. Anything could happen.

This cave dwelling was very quiet. It was located atop a beautiful mountain with dense energy. Clouds and mist were everywhere. The old tree on the summit of the spiritual peak was strong and standing tall. Spring water jingled and Siberian cranes fluttered around in circles.

In the end, Chu Feng temporarily gave up on the Deity and Netherworld breathing technique. There was no need to talk about the Spirit Race breathing technique. He was contrasting the Dao Induction and Phoenix breathing techniques.

These two kinds of breathing techniques could absorb a great amount of Yang qi. He confirmed he unexpectedly reaped tremendous benefits from both breathing techniques.

“Huh?!”

Suddenly, he was startled. An item in his bosom was emitting heat. He quickly retrieved it and it was precisely that stone box. A seed within that stone box was faintly shining and absorbing the Yang qi he was dispelling.

He had sensed that this seed was slightly peculiar these few days, therefore he kept it on him at all times to observe it further. He never would’ve thought that such intense changes would be happening to it today.

During this period of time, Chu Feng had truly gathered a lot of mutant soils with very powerful spiritual nature. But when he tried to plant three seeds on Mount Kunlun, there was no reaction whatsoever which led him to think that the grade of the mutant soil was probably insufficient.

He never would’ve thought that an abnormality would emerge from this seed!

“Yang Realm Seed!”

In a split second, Chu Feng’s spirit light burst forth and he could guess the reason behind it.

The former virtuous powerhouse from the Dragon Race, the number one expert in the universe at that time, once said that he wanted to find the Yang Realm Seed which was suspected to be related to the seed within the stone box.

“The so-called Yang Realm Seed needs Yang qi. In the early stages, I used the seed’s flower and fruit to evolve. Even though I replenished its life essence qi energy, I’ve always been consuming its Yang qi.”

Chu Feng felt as though he had figured it out all at once and was immediately excited. Did this mean that he could make this seed bloom and bear fruits after it grew roots and germinate once more?

He was suddenly inspired. These three seeds were unconditionally and incomparably frightening, so much so that he felt that it was much stronger than the great evolution medicines growing on every race’s ancestral land!

At the same time, Ouyang Feng was currently transforming on Mount Kunlun on Earth. He was waking up within his cocoon and when he saw his current appearance, he cried right away.

“Aowoo… I can’t live anymore. How can I meet anyone with this appearance? How can I enter the starry sky? How am I going to join in causing havoc in Dameng Pure Land with Chu Feng? I want to die. Woowooo….”

He had such a thick skin and had always been someone with no integrity, but he found it unbearable looking at his current appearance now and crumbled.

“Hey, you woke up already, Little Bro Ouyang. What did you transform into? Quickly come out so we can take a look at you!” shouted the big black yak outside where Ouyang Feng was.

Old Donkey also bared his large bucked teeth and said, “Yee-haw, yee-haw! Come out. Even if you’re ugly, can you be uglier than your former toad body covered in golden stripes?”

“Die, all of you! Don’t block me! This Divine King isn’t going to live anymore!” cried Toad loudly as he bawled, insistent on not coming out.
