The Sacred Ruins-Chapter 309: Silver Substance

Chapter 309: Silver Substance

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

"Why isn't it possible? It's certain silver right now." Chu Feng felt all his pores relax. Silver light gushed out from his body as he exchanged energy with the outside world.

The black substance had turned into silver and merged diffusely with his physical energy.

Yellow Ox was stunned. He could hardly believe this.

"What's the situation?" Chu Feng whispered. Anything that could make Yellow Ox lose his composure couldn't be simple.

"I don't need to explain the origin of the black material since you already know. It's an extremely rare treasured material. The material transforming into silver, however, is a legend."

Yellow Ox told Chu Feng seriously that the material transforming into silver was extremely unusual. Not to mention coming into contact, evening seeing or hearing of it was a thing of legends.

That was because it was too abnormal. It wouldn't transform even during the refinement process by the demonic sages. Such rumors were heard only after the materials were given to the descendants to use.

However, no one had been able to confirm this.

"It's been said that the silver substance can help a person attain the Boddhisattva golden body and is a mutation of the black substance. There's also news that it had caused the decline or even death of someone at the Bodhisattva level."

According to Yellow Ox, this silver substance was a mutation, a variant of the black substance that can't be predicted. No one can tell what kind of change it would bring.

That was because there was another astonishing legend. According to the handwritten notes of certain ancient powerhouses, the silver substance had once paved the way for a minor demon to become a sage.

At the same time, there were also frightening rumors that it had caused a sage level being to perish.

Chu Feng's expression changed time and again. According to Yellow Ox this silver substance was full of uncertainties. There was no way to guess just what kind of changes it would produce.

Perhaps it would, like a desolate wild beast, strike a peerless expert and cause him to become a mortal or, like a nightmare, entangle him for life until he does.

At the same time, it might also be a thread of opportunity to become a sage. It gave people hope, leading them to the radiant other shore to finally become supreme.

Yellow Ox was fairly serious. He instructed Chu Feng to be careful and observe the odd silver substance in detail. It's reported that even Bodhisattvas and demonic sages were unable to see through it completely.

Because the object was lacking and there were no samples.

Who would dare to announce it once obtained? They would probably be immediately captured by a major evolutionist authority and turned into a lab rat for observation.

"Isn't this even more serious than the black substance? My situation seems to have worsened?" Chu Feng's thoughts were in disarray.

Yellow Ox consoled him. "That can't be said for certain. There's no solution for the black substance. At your level, you can only delay its flare-ups. There's no one in this world who can help you purify it. However, the silver material is different. It's a variable full of possibilities."

Chu Feng said, "That means the black substance before was a death warrant. It would be the end for me once my time was up. This silver substance, on the other hand, has brought me to a crossroads. I might die or fall into a hell worse than death, but, of course, I might also survive, and my lift might even be better than before."

"That's why the silver material's appearance will be accompanied by various possibilities. You have to grasp it!" Yellow Ox warned.

In truth, he was also quite distressed. This had far surpassed the scope of his abilities. He wanted to help Chu Feng alleviate the pain and prolong the flare-up intervals, but it was no longer possible right now.

"What did those people with the silver substance do? Are there any legends or secret methods?" Chu Feng asked.

"There are only bits and pieces that won't be of any use to you. That's because the rumored silver material had only ever appeared in the ten strongest worlds. The outside realms have never even seen it before and many don't even know."

Yellow Ox himself had only seen notes left behind by others and learned about it by coincidence. The things related were simply too grand—it involved secrets related to demonic sages and the fall of Bodhisattvas.

Who would dare leak such secrets? It would incur the wrath of those extreme experts. No one was willing to let other people know because the fewer threats there were the better.

Chu Feng's expression kept shifting after he ended the call.

He felt that the appearance of the silver material was too sudden and too odd.

He had been constantly circulating the breathing technique during the recent days but there was no improvement. There wasn't any change within his body and he simply couldn't get rid of the black substance.

However, today he tried once again after undergoing great emotional fluctuations. In the end, such a change occurred—it was simply too sudden.

"Eh?!"

He circulated his breathing technique once again. It was indeed different within his body. An ineffable change within made him more and more excited.

That was because the stagnant energy within his body had gradually begun to flow. He no longer felt as if he was stuck in a swamp. His pores were all gushing with silver radiance and had become obviously brilliant.

This was especially true for his heart. It was gradually glowing as if it was refined from white silver. It once again possessed flourishing vitality, its beats sturdy and powerful like the beating of a heavenly drum.

…

The world was thrown into an uproar and people from various lands were shaken today. That was because a large number of experts had emerged. They walked out of their famed mountains and began to make their move.

The Golden-Winged Roc King of Mount Hua spread his wings to raid the sky. He flew due east and swept through every land as if he was searching for something.

The Mountain Tortoise of Mount Kongtong, the oldest king level entity, came down the mountain. He performed divinations all the way. The king was normally mild natured but today he announced that he would hunt down and kill some people.

Following that, a flash of sword light rushed towards the sky above the Sword Palace of Mount Shu. The two temple masters also mobilized, brandishing their imperial sword techniques and passing unhindered through the sky.

Soon afterward, the Taiji Grandmaster of Mount Wudang came down the mountain and traveled due north.

The people also discovered that the Mastiff King of Kunlun heading east and the White Snake of Mount Taihang roaming the area. This shocked the entire world.

…

These people were all top-grade experts, the strongest batch of experts from the East. They actually began to move out on the same day. What could they be doing?

Many people suspected that another was about to break out.

Could it be that the marine race had secretly come ashore, causing these experts to come out and take revenge for the incident at Mount Longhu?

A single expert wouldn't be too much of a surprise, but this was a whole group of them—if they went on a rampage, who could stop them? Once they join forces, not to mention a single power, even a coalition of several major powers would be completely wiped out.

Finally, a piece of news came out. The host of kings had risen to fight for a single person.

"This is so heaven-defying! A single person was able to request so many experts to take action!"

This was no secret, to begin with. Finally, it was revealed that the cause of all of this was Chu Feng. He had contacted the various experts and asked them to help him kill some enemies.

After their motives were somehow leaked, the black yak's group were ambushed on their way to the east. Certain experts had wanted to exterminate their group tyrannically. This provoked Chu Feng who asked a host of top-grade kings for help.

People were astonished as they drew in a breath of cold air—this movement was simply too large-scaled. Because experts like the Golden-winged Roc King and the Mount Kong Tong Sect Master were all ranked among the top ten experts of the East. However, all of them had moved out for a single person.

Recently, many people were observing. They wanted to see what kind of changes and responses would appear after Chu Feng encountered misfortune.

Some were worried, others acted as calm bystanders. There were even those rejoicing at his misfortune, knowing that some people will jump out to target Chu Feng.

However, at this moment, all the major powers were shocked. Even if Chu Feng had encountered misfortune, the powers he could call upon were simply too shocking. He was actually able to let such peerless experts take action. This was too astonishing.

All parties were pondering about this matter. Would this group of experts go berserk and flatten all the major powers?

That very night. The old tortoise of Mount Kongtong found a clue. His strange and frightening divination was able to point to an approximate area.

Afterwards, all the kings moved together. They rushed towards Gansu Province and followed various clues to arrive at the bank of the frozen Yellow River.

They broke the ice and charged into the river.

This battle was initially quite brilliant but the process was simply too short. There was indeed an expert hiding in the water but how could he resist the attacks of the host of kings.

"The Thousand-Year Carp Spirit of the Yellow River was the one who attacked black yak and the others!"

Before long, the news was leaked and spread to the outside world.

This group of peak experts was too fierce and their efficiency was incomparably high. They were able to mobilize like thunder, sweep through the carp's lair and kill the culprit that very night. They were powerful and tyrannical.

Some people rushed over to the Yellow River Bank and found the remains of a gigantic carp sealed in ice and snow. The scene was both terrifying and threatening.

People also found the figure of a marine race expert. A certain walrus that had been hiding within the Yellow River and colluding with the Carp Spirit was also killed.

This reminded the continental life forms that the marine race hadn't completely given up even though the frigid weather wasn't suitable for them to move about or come ashore.

These two were experts with six severed shackles were uncovered that very day and killed. This shook everyone. Many parties who had become somewhat restless completely extinguished their notions.

Everyone was trembling. They discovered that demon king Chu was still troublesome to the extreme. With so many experts owing him favors, he could cause a huge earthquake with a single word.

The outside world was completely restless as people were discussed this matter uproariously.

People saw that Chu Feng wasn't one to be provoked even though he was about to retire from the mutant stage and lead an ordinary life. He was still someone who could summon wind and rain.

There was silence within the Hollow Jade Temple.

Chu Feng frowned after hearing the news. That was because one of the White Cranes of the Mount Shu Sword Palace told him that there were various clues pointing out that a continental expert had asked the carp spirit's group to attack black yak and the others.

However, the trail ended there and they were ultimately unable to find out who the mastermind was.

Chu Feng nodded in acknowledgement.

He knew that it was useless to pursue this matter further since even that group had confirmed that the trail was cut off.

At this time, his concerns were no longer on this matter but instead, he was observing the changes in his body. It was truly too odd.

That was because the so-called silver material was change constantly. Sometimes it would turn black, overflowing with a dark glow. This puzzled him greatly.

Furthermore, when it transformed into the silver substance, not only would his body recover its normal energy flow but it would also become usually smooth. It would become more fierce and tyrannical.

However, once it reverted to the black substance, the energy flow would be bogged down.

"Oscillation!"

Chu Feng felt that this was a type of undulation. When it became the black substance, he would deteriorate and fall into a trough but once it turned into the silver material, his vitality would become even more exuberant and powerful than before.

Chu Feng was studying this change. The silver material was full of uncertainties—it was also full of numerous possibilities!

He had a certain hope in his heart because there opportunity to be found amidst the looming death!
