Chapter 817: Born From The Land Of Time Immemorial
Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy
Chu Feng was really anxious and impatient because the flaw of time in Vicious Beast Plateau was different from the outer realm. It was abnormally terrifying!
“I hope Dameng Pure Land made a mistake in their calculations!” He prayed. If not, there would be big trouble.
A night in Dameng Pure Land was equivalent to a hundred years in the Vicious Beast Plateau. What concept was this?
Could it be that seven or eight hundred years had passed in Vicious Beast Plateau when he stayed in the outer realm for around seven or eight days?
Chu Feng’s face was somewhat green.
The most crucial point was that based on this deduction of the flow of time, it didn’t matter whether Ying Zhexian, Qin Luoyin and the rest were alive or dead because they definitely wouldn’t be on Vicious Beast Plateau anymore.
The test would have definitely ended if seven or eight days had passed. If Dameng Pure Land discovered that his physical body couldn’t move, would they think that he was dead?
So be it if they buried him. But if they cremated him… Chu Feng was scared when he thought about these. If he didn’t come back to life, his physical body was equivalent to a corpse and there was a possibility that various things could happen.
“Calm down. I can’t be impetuous. Eight hundred years passed on Vicious Beast Plateau which means that eight days had passed in Dameng Pure Land. What’s happened has already happened.”
Chu Feng calmed himself down to prevent his him from being so disordered that he acted outside the norms.
He was only preoccupied with comprehending the “Little Six Rays of Time Technique”. He still hadn’t searched this place carefully and gathered what he could. He wanted to bring some “local specialities” back since he was about to set off and was no longer in a hurry anymore.
But other than corpses belonging to gods, there were only corpses belong to gods. Moreover, they still had strange gray matter in them. Could it be that he was going to bring some corpses that had been contaminated back? That would be outrageous.
Something would always be left behind amongst the hundreds of corpses belonging to gods, right? It wasn’t likely that the articles they had on them were completely destroyed.
Chu Feng patiently searched through broken armour, a metal sword that had broken into eighteen chunks, a large rotten bow… There really were a lot of things that were once divine tools, but the stone millstone had crushed them so they were more or less destroyed and had lost their spiritual nature a long time ago.
That was especially the case with some objects; dense gray matter tightly gathered together around them and there was practically no way of bringing them with him.
Chu Feng really didn’t dare to use his soul light to move the corpses. That gray matter was too harmful to the point where even gods suffered a calamity from them. It definitely wasn’t something he could resist at his level of evolution.
He used rocks and soil to flip the corpses over.
“Is what I’m doing considered an avant-garde manner of gathering corpses?”
Unfortunately, even weapons that deities crafted were ruined beyond recognition after the stone millstone crushed them. It would be pretty good if he could even bring a part of a ruined tool back over with him.
Shhh, shhh…
The stones were melting. The ineffable liquid overflowing from some corpses belonging to gods was very corrosive.
With the help of various rocks as his tool, Chu Feng flipped and searched more than three hundred corpses, but he didn’t find any reward. The ruined and cracked weapons were wrapped up in gray matter and were terribly corroded.
“Huh?!”
Finally, he saw a strange item after flipping over more than four hundred corpses; it was an item shaped like a ball of mist. Upon closer inspection, it was actually made out of metal but had wisps of mist coiled around it.
Moreover, when he peeled it out from the corpse of a god, it actually separated from the gray matter and wasn’t completely entangled in it.
This was a green leather calabash that was only as big as a thumb and was extremely pocket-sized. It was entirely green and lush and had dense Time Immemorial Essence qi.
The air of death lingered around this place and there was dense strange matter here. Yet a calabash actually was thriving and full of life. This really was strange.
Chu feng lightly pushed it to a safe spot before he carefully assessed it. He couldn’t stop his pupils from contracting as two golden runes appeared in his eyes; he used the Fiery Eyes and stared at it with divine light shining out of his eyes.
“An object from time immemorial is growing in the Primal Chaos?!”
Chu Feng was taken aback as he felt that this item greatly resembled the divine item mentioned in ancient books that grew from the Time Immemorial Spirit Root.
This kind of item was somewhat born from time immemorial land.
The green leather calabash was very small. It seemed as though it hadn’t matured yet, but wisps and traces of Primal Chaos qi was lingering around it. At the same time, rich time immemorial vitality was rippling out from it.
The more he looked at it, the more it resembled a Time Immemorial Calabash as it corresponded with all the distinctive features of the actual item from every aspect.
One could encounter this kind of item, but it was not to be sought. It was born in the Primal Chaos, but that place normally had concentrated thunder runes and a sea formed of immortal light. Even gods would be killed if they entered such a place.
Naturally, it didn’t mean that one could definitely find such an item once they entered the Primal Chaos, much less pluck one.
In reality, there wasn’t much life in the Primal Chaos. It was a place with vast nothingness and were it not for a great opportunity, one might not be able to find a Spirit Root even if they searched for billions and billions of years.
“Is it really a Time Immemorial Calabash?” Chu Feng was excited.
When they were in the Yin Realm universe, he had always been reading various books and discussions about treasures across various topics. This kind of time immemorial object had been mentioned before and it was very difficult to find one.
But he also noticed that there were minute cracks on this green leather calabash that resembled spider webs. This made him feel fairly regretful because he presumed the stone millstone had crushed it for these cracks to appear.
Chu Feng sighed. That stone millstone was too terrifying.
“Hmm, that’s not right either. It’s been struck by lightning before!” Chu Feng discovered that those cracks clearly had traces of being slightly burnt, only that it wasn’t too obvious so it was easily overlooked.
He assessed it once through and used the Fiery Eyes to carefully look over the calabash before he finally analysed it. This calabash suffered damage entirely because it had just grown into a fruit and wasn’t fully grown yet.
That was because it was too small; it was only as big as a thumb. It was still entirely verdant too. Normally, it wouldn’t be glistening yellow after it matured, but rather it would have a golden purple luster. There were written accounts of this in ancient books.
In those days, a supreme powerhouse from the Yin Realm universe was fortunate enough to see it before but he didn’t dare pluck it. He watched with his eyes wide as the crack in the Primal Chaos closed shut and the Time Immemorial Spirit Root disappeared.
Chu Feng looked at it for a very long time and felt that even though this green leather calabash wasn’t fully grown yet and even had cracks, it could still be used. Besides, it wasn’t polluted with gray matter on top either.
After that, he carefully and cautiously researched it and discovered that this green leather calabash was indeed still an “unpolished gem”. It hadn’t even been refined before; it was considerably new and original.
“Normally speaking, a mature Time Immemorial Calabash can hold an ocean and can fill millions and millions of mountains. When light gushes out of it, it can destroy planets. But its not fully gown, so it definitely doesn’t have such power or might.”
Chu Feng was mulling over it as he carefully controlled the calabash. He tried collecting various rocks and other items and discovered that the calabash can store a large amount in it which illustrated that it had a very large space inside of it.
He then poured all of the rocks out again.
After that, he tried stretching a weak wisp of his own soul light into the calabash. In a split second, this spiritual energy turned into dust and disappeared without a trace.
“Spirit refinement?!”
He had a grave expression as he experimented with it again. In the end, another weak wisp of soul light disintegrated as it disappeared at the mouth of the green leather calabash.
“This item isn’t normal!” Chu Feng was certain that this green leather calabash couldn’t hold living beings. If he placed himself within it, he would definitely die without a proper burial site.
He was pondering over it. If he conducted a proper sacrificial refinement once over, it might be able to become a great murder weapon that could annihilate a person’s soul light!
But there was no time to waste now. He was in a hurry to rush back, but he just didn’t know whether he could bring this item back with him to Dameng Pure Land.
After that, Chu Feng considered bringing some local specialties back with him. He couldn’t really load up the calabash with corpses belonging to gods and gift his acquaintances a human hand when he met them, right?
He reckoned he would be beaten to death!
“Forget it. There’s nothing good here. You guys shouldn’t hope for a present. I’ll gift you guys a god tiered special technique when the time comes.”
But he was somewhat unresigned to going back like this. Chu Feng was looking for something and he finally stared at the most dangerous item —— the strange grey mist.
Even gods were afraid of this kind of matter because it tormented them to the point where they hovered between life and death in their twilight years; it was incomparably tragic. It wasn’t that simple as involving divine ghosts alone, but rather adversity and decay was involved too.
But Chu Feng was also a little worried of getting burnt from playing with fire and implicating a disaster upon himself.
“Forget it. The green leather calabash is a divine object from the beginning of time. I reckon I can store a few in it. I’ll bring them with me first and think about what to do with them later. I’ll reward whichever close minded pimp or bastard with a calabash full of corpses right away just in case I run into them.”
After that, Chu Feng’s heart was in his throat as he carefully controlled the green leather calabash to absorb the grey matter.
He wasn’t a collector, but it had to be said that it was easy to get addicted to absorbing some kind of extremely dangerous substance that resembled a great murderous weapon like this. After he commanded the green leather calabash, he couldn’t stop.
One could see many gray mists soar in the air in the surroundings before they rapidly charged into the opening of the calabash. Gray mists gradually surged like a gathering storm and it turned into a misty gray area over here.
This stunned Chu Feng to the point where he couldn’t help but to take flight and flee. He only returned after tranquility was restored to this area so that he could continue collecting again.
Finally, hundreds of corpses belonging to gods weren’t emitting much gray mist anymore. He used the cork attached to the green leather calabash to seal this time immemorial secret treasure.
“It’s time to go home!”
Chu Feng dashed along the original path he came from as fast as lightning; 2,500 kilometres was nothing to him. When he didn’t know how to fly in those days, he relied on his legs to cross such a distance and eight hours of mad running would be sufficient for him to do so, let alone now.
But when he saw that door of light, Chu Feng was a little hesitant. He reckoned there shouldn’t be any problem with returning, but nothing would happen to this green leather calabash, right? After all, it had a few cracks on it.
In the event this thing exploded, he would definitely die.
“Let’s try it out first and see how it goes.”
Whoosh! Chu Feng passed through the door of light and very soon, he saw the stone millstone. He immediately threw the green leather calabash into it first.
“Huh? It didn’t break into pieces!”
Chu Feng didn’t dare dally as he charged in after that. His whole body shone from the veined patterned light of the talisman paper. He found the green leather calabash and used the light of the talisman paper to protect it.
Kerchack!
Chu Feng felt immense pain in his mind. In the end, he still experience the acute pain resembling five horses tearing his body limb from limb. His soul light was being ripped apart and it was just the same as when he had arrived; he was crumbling apart.
Thankfully, he had the protection of the light of the talisman paper so he couldn’t die. It had to be said that the background of this mysterious talisman paper was too shocking for it to be extracted out of the forbidden land. The light that initially spilled over from the talisman paper alone could protect his soul light from being obliterated and was capable of regrouping it back together.
In some sense, the Little Daoist’s black talisman paper that had been brought out from the first restricted area was even more impressive than gods. At the very least, many gods had died here.
“Shoot!” Chu Feng’s face turned green. There were a few more cracks on this green leather calabash and it was even more intense than before as the stone millstone crushed it; it couldn’t bear the weight of it a little.
“You better not explode by all means!” Chu Feng was scared and was prepared to throw it out at any time. If this thing exploded by his side, he would die without a burial site.
Once that gray matter plagued him, there would be no way to erase it and even gods found it unbearable.
Chu Feng got through a daunting experience without mishap along the way. He broke away from the stone millstone and charged out from this place. It was unknown how many times his soul light had been ripped apart, but it finally regrouped back together.
One felt fearful and apprehensive as they looked at the cracks that densely covered the green leather calabash. On the whole, it wasn’t completely damaged.
“Could eight hundred years really have passed?” Chu Feng’s mind trembled. As expected, there was no one outside. Ying Zhexian, Ouyang Feng, Qin Luoyin and the silver haired little lolita were no longer there.
There was no need to think it through meticulously. Too much time had passed so they couldn’t wait for him any longer.
Chu Feng opened his Fiery Eyes and looked around in the vicinity again and again. All of a sudden, his eyes focused on some area which was precisely the place where they initially stopped over at.
He flew over in a split second and descended onto the ground. He saw that there were some words engraved over there; it was a message those people had left behind for him.
