Chapter 476: Taking Divine Medicine
Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy
Of course, Chu Feng hadn’t lost his cool. Even though his heart was extremely emotional and he had a fiery expression in his eyes, he was also on alert.
He was fully aware of the terrors of such a place. This was the place where emperors would offer sacrifices to the heavens. If he was the least bit inattentive or unbridled, he could possibly meet with a disastrous death!
Chu Feng was increasingly cautious. He held the Seal of Domain Suppression to protect his body. A dark radiance covered him, forming a relatively narrow yet safe space.
Within the dark radiance, runes did not appear and domains were not startled. It was very tranquil.
After he arrived at this place, an alluring fruity scent assailed his nostrils accompanied by red lights. The strong fragrance seeped into people’s souls and pervaded their bones, causing them to drool with desire and greed.
The jade table was very large and emitted multi-colored lights. Propitious vapors steamed and colorful lights flooded the area like flowing waves. With just a glance, it was obvious that this area was very sacred.
The pressure in this area slightly made Chu Feng feel stifled as he walked on. Whether it was his physical body or his spirit, both felt like a mountain was pressing down, making him unable to breathe.
Although he held the Seal of Domain Suppression, he was still unable to dispel these effects. This was a kind of formless “power”, but even more than that, it was a terrifying kind of aura that intimidated evolvers’ forms and spirits.
With a heavy heart, Chu Feng became all the more cautious.
With difficulty, he moved his gaze away from the peach of immortality and looked at the source of the dangerous aura. The multi-colored jade and stone table’s celestial light was bright, colorful, and truly enormous.
On the table were both immortal peaches and golden seals. They weren’t very large, but they were still able to penetrate the great aura, just like the firmament suppressing this place.
Additionally, there were nine copper cauldrons covered with green stains. They looked simple and unadorned, but they still incited people’s reverence. Unexpectedly, they couldn’t help but lower their heads and pray in respect.
There were also small, pitch-black pagodas. They were three meters tall and absorbed the surrounding light. Although they weren’t big, they were as frightening as the abyss.
Chu Feng’s eyes flickered brightly. Without even thinking he already knew that these were wonderful holy objects, but they still gave him a mountain of pressure even with the protective effect of the Seal of Domain Suppression.
He believed that were it not for the jet-black stone seal in his hand, he most likely wouldn’t be able to get close. Perhaps his body would crack and dye the altar with blood. These things were quite dreadful.
Even if normal people could smoothly go through a domain, they couldn’t possibly get near this place’s jade and stone table!
“Yaoyao said the objects in this place can’t be touched, otherwise I’ll die a disastrous death. They seem odd indeed,” Chu Feng said to himself.
When there was nobody around, he didn’t need to call her “sister”. He felt “Yaoyao” was closer.
At Mount Longhu, he consulted Yaoyao about crossing the place of homage at Mount Tai. Yaoyao warned him that he must be careful here.
The entire altar was silent and covered in offerings. They looked abandoned, but that was a trap!
According to Yaoyao, some objects were placed by the forebears, while others were possibly left by enemies.
The expression in Chu Feng’s eyes was fiery as he stared at the copper cauldrons and golden seals with reluctant longing. However, he took a deep breath and did not act on his impulse. It was safe to look at them, but for now, it was best not to touch them indiscriminately.
At that moment, smoothly grabbing the peach of immortality was the most crucial; the other objects would depend on the situation. He couldn’t lose his life here just for some ancient treasures!
The pressure here was too great. He braced himself and leapt onto the huge jade table, but blood had already started to flow from his mouth and nose.
The pitch-black pagoda and glowing golden seal all carried an immense feeling of danger. He felt like his spirit and body were being squeezed to the point of falling apart.
At the same time, he also felt another raging aura coming and carrying with it a broad and extensive ancient intent. It was a stone tablet, serenely standing tall and upright on the altar right beside the jade table.
On it were characters that recorded this planet’s prosperity and decline.
Chu Feng gazed at it, recognizing the holy text on the tablet. However, on that day, the problem lady’s grandfather had read that Earth had once been ranked eleventh and could be counted among the strongest and most respected planets in the heavens.
However, when it came time for the next ranking, it fell to rank 97,452. It simply took a nose dive, suffering a sudden and devastating decline.
As for the next ranking, it didn’t even appear. Nobody knew how far it had fallen!
Chu Feng gazed and sighed lightly.
At this moment, the stone tablet suddenly glowed with a faint light as it scanned his body. This immediately made his blood run cold. Sure enough, there was something dangerous about this place. This stone tablet was like an energy pagoda and it was almost like cutting-edge technology.
Fortunately, he was very cautious. He did not become conceited, and he hadn’t yet caused any offense.
In reality, his mood was rather heavy after arriving here. How could he profane the forebears’ sacrificial grounds?
Earth had already been crippled long ago, and the altar was even more forgotten with nobody to enjoy the offerings.
He reckoned nobody was willing to excessively involve themselves here. In those days, the waters were too deep!
The stone tablet glowed, and after it scanned his body, but nothing abnormal happened.
Yaoyao didn’t go into great detail and only briefly mentioned it. Regardless of whether these things were left by the forebears or the enemy, they were meant to slaughter the mid-level fish and shrimps remaining on Earth!
Chu Feng guessed that he probably didn’t have the qualifications to cause the ancient treasure to recover and kill him.
His bones made a noise as he pushed against the boundless pressure and made the difficult climb onto the jade and stone table. At this moment, his eyes were like golden lightning accompanied by flames.
Chu Feng concentrated his mind and did not dare relax. He finally made it to the final juncture and did not want a grave mishap to occur at the final push.
Beneath the altar, the group of people was clenching their fists. They were even more nervous than Chu Feng, especially Chen Rong who was gnashing her teeth with flaming eyes. Chu Feng had successfully made it to the top, which filled her with rage and flames of jealousy.
Zhu Wuque, Yuwen Feng, and the others also had contracted pupils. They were not willing to resign themselves to this! Just now they had drawn help from the World Crossing Bridge and had come close to Chu Feng, but he had still escaped in the end.
“The holy medicine immortal peach. If only it were set aside for me…” Flames flared up in Yuan Kun’s eyes, and his dim golden fur flowed with an intense energy. The diamond ape’s sturdy physique was filled with an explosive power.
The elder Prince of Great Qi, Qi Yu’s, countenance was gloomy. They had failed to stop him. In front of all of them, Chu Feng unexpectedly succeeded in climbing atop the altar and was now reaping the fortunes.
The enemy had won, and all they could do was look on helplessly. This kind of feeling was difficult to bear.
“Let’s block him. We can’t let him eat the medicine of the immortal peach!” said Chen Rong.
Zhu Wuque was also cold and quiet as he said, “Rebel, your kind were merely rationed for heavenly knights. No matter how much you evolve, you’ll never be able to break away from your fate.”
Actually, he was quite jittery. The Nine Yin Sparrow had commanded him to kill Chu Feng, but in the end, he could only watch as this person evolved here.
“Continue the attack! This is our last attempt. See if we can shake the altar!” said Yuwen Feng with an icy gaze. He did not hate Chu Feng any less than Qi Yu as he had previously been very dejected.
“The Seal of Domain Suppression is covered in cracks. If it carries too heavy a burden, it might be destroyed!” stated Chen Rong. That was Penglai’s treasure, so she understood it fairly well.
Bai Ling, Lie Shan, Zhan He and the others all nodded their heads. Afterwards, the group of divine sons and saintesses prepared to attack once more. However, they had already moved back to a safe area, fearing the ferocious counterattack.
Boom!
Some treasures started glowing as if they were set on fire. The explosion collided with the altar, and the rays of light were as glaring as a rain of comets striking the earth!
The symbols on the altar were dazzling as they interweaved with one another, making the multi-colored jade and stone table shake slightly. As expected, Chu Feng felt the impact.
However, it wasn’t dangerous. His body just swayed a bit, and the dark radiance surrounding him wasn’t reduced and continued to shroud him.
Now, he had already arrived near some tableware and his eyes were painfully hot from the bright red light. He extended his hand and successfully touched an immortal peach.
It was scarlet red, like an agate, and red clouds burst forth from it. The onslaught of its alluring scent had already reached him.
Chu Feng opened his mouth without any hesitation and promptly took a bite. His mouth was instantly filled with its fresh, sweet juice. It was so fragrant that even spirits were permeated by its aroma. His entire body was glittering and shining.
In an instant, the insides of his body began exploding like a series of thunderclaps!
This was divine a medicine. Even if its medicinal properties had been severely lost over time, it was still enough for an evolver of his level!
It was right at this time that there was a clanking sound in Chu Feng like metal chains breaking and torture instruments activating. His entire being relaxed significantly.
This was especially true for his head, which felt as if an explosion had taken place. The shackle here affected one’s spirit the most. The head’s shackle was also the spirit shackle!
Even though Chu Feng’s spirit often merged with his flesh and did not reside in his head, if he traced it to its origins, this was still its base camp. It made his head hurt as though it was about to be split open. The flames of his spirit were violently burning.
Boom Boom!
It really felt like thunder was descending from the nine heavens and striking Chu Feng’s body, almost causing him to fall on his back. The spiritual power in his forehead burst outward, as though it were materializing.
There was a pulsing, scathing flame!
It was done! The most important shackle in the human body had been broken. He felt thunder rolling in his head, and it took a long while for it to stop. Chu Feng instantly felt keen and alert with sharp intuition.
Most importantly, his spiritual power had increased dramatically!
This was essential for entering the carefree realm!
In a split second, the extent of Chu Feng’s consciousness included all living things entering his heart. Everything was different now. It was as if he had torn back the rain tarp and seen some of the essences of the real world.
As for self-cultivation and evolution, he increasingly gained a different understanding. Within this short period of time, he reached enlightenment and was immersed into a fantastic state.
This was the greatest advantage of opening the head’s shackle!
If his spirit was no good, how could he possibly go further? Only by opening this shackle and letting his soul’s forces boil could he step into the carefree realm and advance toward visualization. Body and soul were both necessary.
Now, Chu Feng’s physical body glowed, the light penetrating his flesh. As expected, it was like the rumors said, once one surpassed the twelfth shackle, the increase to their body’s strength would be limited.
However, he still experienced some fundamental changes. The energy level within his body was making rapid progress.
“Huh?” This went against Chu Feng’s expectations as this change was different from others.
He activated his breathing techniques starting from Dao Induction and continuing to the Thunderous Breathing Technique. During the evolutionary process, doing this had great benefits. For example, he could advance his constitution and increase his spirit.
What’s more, he had grasped an ultimate breathing technique!
During this process, other places inside Chu Feng’s body were incessantly slamming. It was just as Yaoyao had said, there were dozens of shackles in the human body, and their partition standards were different. This was only because some shackles were large and others small, and some could be neglected and disregarded.
Yaoyao told Chu Feng not to bother about these. If he took divine medicine or saint medicine, all the cells in his body would activate and be baptized, after which all of the inhibited places would link up.
His body’s chemical activity had increased in a short period of time, and the energy that rumors said wouldn’t increase was also surging.
Chu Feng’s eyes glowed with magnificent rays of light and he exposed a cheerful look. His physique was transforming, his constitution was rapidly upgrading, and his energy was increasing quickly and violently. His evolution was different from ordinary people!
Beneath the altar, the group of peoples’ complexions was ashen as they watched Chu Feng take a large bite of the immortal peach. In the blink of an eye, all that was left was the pit. They all burned with anger.
Chu Feng paid them no heed and wasn’t even that attentive toward the changes that occurred after breaking certain shackles. He was paying close attention to the changes he experienced after breaking the spirit shackle.
His spiritual energy rapidly increased, and a cluster of light burst from his flesh and returned to his forehead. After detailed observation, he saw some signs that his spiritual power was condensing into a weapon!
Was this a newly activated ability?
He tried it out and began to participate actively, even going so far as to mold it. A cluster of spiritual energy vaguely turned into a person standing and holding a large halberd.
“After I advance into the carefree realm, the different kinds of abilities I activate will be polished. Now will be the initial modeling and testing!”
