The Sacred Ruins

Chu Feng had just calmed down when he heard such a word. His face almost turned green on the spot.

He really wanted to say, "Sister please can we not be so ruthless? Why is everything yours?"

The divine beast he had picked up on Mount Tai was said to be raised by her family. Now the diamond chakram he had asked the weapon refinement sacred tree to make for him was also about to change owners?

"You don’t believe me?" the lady glanced askance. Her beautiful eyes were deep and profound, while her lips were garish and moist. It was as if she was thinking of something.

Chu Feng mumbled to himself. Was this a threat?

He felt that he couldn’t give in unless this woman says he was also hers and that he was the only one. Otherwise... this diamond chakram was not hers!

Naturally, such unhealthy thoughts only passed through his mind briefly. He didn’t really dare flirt with her for fear of being slapped to death.

"I dug this out on Mount Kunlun," Chu Feng mumbled begrudgingly. No matter the case, he had to make it clear that it was his and that it couldn’t change owners.

"Mn, then there’s no mistaking it. Many evolvers used to live there. I also have a temporary imperial residence there." The lady nodded as if it was all right and proper.

Chu Feng was no longer calm. He argued that the diamond chakram was his greatest weapon and that he wasn’t willing to hand it over.

Naturally, the lady’s words made him unable to calm down because the lady directly told him that the material was a dark stone the size of a human head and that was indeed so.

"Mn, back then, someone told me that it’s an ultimate material while others say that it’s rubbish. I had no need to use it back then so I placed it in a flower pot for decoration."

The lady’s words made Chu Feng dumbfounded. How could she be so calm before what was possibly a priceless material? She immediately used it as a decoration? Just how careless was she?

"Didn’t you want to open it up to see the material inside?" Chu Feng couldn’t help but ask.

The lady replied calmly, "There wasn’t a need. I wasn’t lacking in weapons at the time. It might be more valuable to leave it as it is. It would serve as a small expectation for myself, or I could gift it to other people. It would’ve been a great loss if I had opened it up and it broke."

Chu Feng was almost full of tears after hearing such words. Just what kind of family was this? How extremely haughty! In the face of such an ultimate material, she was still so calm and only had a small expectation for it?

Immediately, Chu Feng became curious about this family. Just how powerful were they? What kind of foundation did they have?

He wanted to understand that era and wanted to know its secrets. The best way was to start from her family.

Thus, he tried to find words in hopes of unraveling the segment of history that was shrouded in mist.

"Sister, since you put such a valuable material in the flower pot, it seems the plant within it isn’t ordinary either."

The lady nodded and said, "Yes, there was a Nine Transformations Divine Medicine planted within it. It was absolutely brilliant when it bloomed and would fill the sky with a shower of light. The fragrance would even fill a whole major city."

Chu Feng was flabbergasted and dazzled. He was immediately distracted because that scene was unimaginable. More importantly, the lady had described the flower as beautiful and fragrant, but this... she had completely overlooked the most important part! That was a divine medicine! But it seemed she didn’t quite care about it!

What she was focused on was the resplendence, beauty, and fragrance of the divine medicine when it bloomed.

The blooming divine medicine could actually fill the whole city with its spiritual fragrance. How astonishing was this? It would definitely be able to induce a frightening level of evolution!

The toad was also drooling while listening on the side. "Sister Immortal, our family was so powerful in the past. I really want to reestablish the clan!"

It didn’t dare to say it wanted to return to the family but the meaning wasn’t very different. It was thinking about defecting again.

In the end, Chu Feng kicked it away.

"Is the Nine Transformations Divine Medicine still there? Are the medicinal effects very strong?" Chu Feng asked full of anticipation.

"Oh, great changes happened back then. I don’t know where it is right now. Perhaps it’s in a certain starry ocean. I’ll look for it if I have the chance. It’s truly unforgettable how beautiful it was when it blooms."

There she goes again. Chu Feng felt that their levels were simply too far apart and the viewpoints were also completely different. What he paid attention to was the divine medicine’s effects, but this sister was only reminiscing about its beauty!

This made him emotional and speechless in addition to being envious.

As if she had just recalled Chu Feng’s question about the medicinal effects, the lady tilted her head and revealed a thoughtful expression on her fair and exquisite face. "The medicinal effects aren’t too bad either. The fruit formed after the petals wilt is each as big as a longan and golden yellow in color. It’s called the Nine Transformations Golden Pill."

The legendary Nine Transformations Golden Pill?! Chu Feng was flabbergasted. Wasn’t this supposed to have been refined by medicinal grandmasters? How come it’s changed and become something that grows on trees?!

"Sister, the Nine Transformations Golden Pill is the name of a pill," he reminded.

"The man-made Nine Transformations Golden Pill is inferior in quality. They are only a substitute for the fruit of the Nine Transformations Divine Medicine. It’s full of defects," the lady explained casually.

Chu Feng was so envious that he was about to cry. Every question made his eyes go red.

It was simply unimaginable just what kind of family she came from!

A Nine Transformations Divine Medicine was casually used as decoration and placed on the windowsill. An ultimate material was also thrown into the flowerpot as decoration.

This... why did he feel that this heaven-defying family should really be struck by lightning!

"Sister, how did you spend your days?" Chu Feng asked curiously. He wanted to understand her daily life.

The toad was still wiping off its drool. It also wanted to know the daily situation of the family that had raised its elder generation. It wanted to know how heaven-defying they were.

"We’re very ordinary. Some like fighting beasts, some like gambling, some like chasing women, while others buried themselves in cultivation. No matter what they did, it was all for survival and progress. The only difference was that some were active and others were passive."

The lady spoke calmly and without any emotional fluctuations. There wasn’t a single strand of anger as if she was a cold immortal, pure and transcendent. It was as if she was speaking of something unrelated to her.

"Beast fights? What grade of beasts?" the toad asked in a soft voice.

"Divine beasts, sage beasts," the lady replied calmly.

Not to mention the toad, even Chu Feng reeled. This was explosively outrageous!

The toad didn’t have much confidence. Could it be that its role in the family as a divine beast, known as one of the strongest bloodlines in the cosmos, was so ordinary?

"Then how about gambling stones? What grade of stones did they gamble?" Chu Feng inquired.

"The material of your diamond chakram used to be a stone. What do you think they gambled on?"

Chu Feng gave up completely after hearing this. He was petrified and distracted.

He was too envious. If this lady was speaking the truth, then what would the scions from such a family do? He couldn’t help but want to join their ranks.

In leisure, they would drive a divine beast cart to roam the sea of stars, calling on friends, teasing the goddesses, and flirting with imperial princesses? When bored, they would engage in divine beast fights or roast a divine beast for a snack, accompanied by a ten-thousand-year divine liquor.

When they had nothing else to do, they would take a heaven-illuminating peerless expert as master and learn some arts.

Chu Feng was momentarily lost in thought as was the toad. He quickly wiped away his drool—he was truly envious and jealous of such a life.

"Sister Goddess, is your family still accepting followers?" Chu Feng said with a resplendent smile.

But the toad knew Chu Feng was pandering to the lady. He glanced sideways at Chu Feng.

Bang!

In the end, it was kicked away again.

The lady revealed a kingdom toppling but spurious smile and said, "Are you sure? My family has long since dispersed like the wind and clouds to become dust upon history. If you’re related to my family, there will be people from various starry oceans hunting you down. You will become their common enemy and a wanted criminal."

Chu Feng was astonished. Was it still so even after the passage of so many years? Were the effects of the past so explosive?

The toad was also scared silly. Why did he feel that this lady was somewhat terrifying? Was she trying to scare them on purpose?

Chu Feng felt that he couldn’t sit on the fence at this point and directly replied, "Sister Goddess, we’re not afraid!"

The toad really wanted to say, "I am! Don’t drag me into this!" But it was pressed down by Chu Feng and couldn’t move.

The lady shook her head and said, "Let it be. This is all for your own good. We should keep some distance. I won’t accept you two."

She immediately declined.

Later on, she glanced at the diamond chakram on Chu Feng’s hand. An ineffable radiance emerged from her beautiful eyes amidst the blinking of her long lashes.

Chu Feng wanted to say, "Why are you going back to this?! Haven’t you forgotten about it yet?!"

He hurriedly interrupted, "Sister, why do I feel that everything on earth is yours?" He was truly suspicious. Was this lady so calm and natural or was she a two-faced fraud?

He naturally felt lucky that the three seeds in the stone box weren’t on him at the moment. Otherwise, they might also become hers!

That was because he had recently revealed his strength and was about to fight to the extraterrestrials. He also had to be cautious about the descenders from 22 years ago. So he had to hide his secret items away for fear of losing them in battle.

He felt that these seeds were very important!

"I’ll let you have the diamond chakram." The lady nodded while looking at him. "Judging from how you’re a pure human without any mixed blood, you might also be mine."

Pfft!

Chu Feng really wanted to cough up blood. Was this the big pit she had dug for him in the end? She didn’t want his divine beast and diamond chakram but his whole person? Wasn’t it the same as saying everything he had was hers?

The lady spoke, "There were many experts on earth back then. The pure-blooded humans lived in our family’s territory, and as such, almost all of them belonged to me."

"Sister, will I become your man or your property?" Chu Feng glanced sideways at her because he could hardly accept her version of history.

"You’re quite bold," the lady shot a glance at him and then stared fixedly before saying, "come to think of it, you do look somewhat similar to my fiance."

This time, Chu Feng was no longer calm. He puffed out his chest in a heroic manner.

The toad was even more shameless and said, "Sister Immortal, you probably don’t know but Chu Feng was dug up from below the earth. He’s an ancient being who was once sleeping within the ice and snow but had now lost his memories. Could it be that you two..."

In order to step onto the brilliant path of evolution, the toad had thrown all caution to the wind.
