The Sacred Ruins-Chapter 530

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

The boundless jade ocean was calm and devoid of waves as though it were a giant piece of eternally blue gem.

Just like the great ocean, the sky was incomparably blue without even a wisp of cloud. Where the two came together over the horizon, it was as if the entire world had become a clean, blue color.

Chu Feng stepped upon the blue sea and strode toward the colored ship step by step. He was pondering in silence with his brows knitted together. The appearance of the earth’s true chosen one would be the start of many a problem.

It was an eventful period—the Xilin tribe divine son was on his way, and the Deity race young god was about to appear. At such a juncture, the earth itself wasn’t calm, either.

Chu Feng didn’t feel very comfortable in his heart. True and false, how was one able to determine it? Why must he hand over the things he had risked life and limb to obtain to this so-called true one?

“Which is true and false in this era of strife?!”

Chu Feng leapt back onto his ship and sat in silent contemplation.

Yuan Mo, Zi Luan, Zhao Qing, and the others didn’t disturb him. Although they hadn’t seen the jade green bamboo boat and Yuchi Kong, they knew that some things must’ve happened.

They weren’t used to Chu Feng’s silence.

Whether it was Zi Luan and Zhan He who had been captured the earliest, or Zhao Qing and Luo Miaoxiang who arrived later on, they had never seen him so silent before.

In their impression, Chu Feng hunted divine sons and saintesses to blackmail the orthodoxies on those high-ranking planets. His face was thick, and his viciousness knew no bounds.

Presently, it was as if he had become another person. His handsome face was somewhat delicate, his eyes were clear, and there was some purity in his stillness. He was completely different from how they remembered him.

Chu Feng’s heart was set. Yuchi Kong had come to find him and demand the ultimate breathing technique for the True One and even wanted to ask for the Hellish Ant Elixir. Naturally, he wouldn’t agree to this.

He was frowning while thinking about this matter. Did this so-called True One have the will of the earth? Things didn’t look good if that were really so since he was still living here.

This was what worried him the most. That was why he was pondering in earnest silence.

In the end, Chu Feng looked up with bright, spirited eyes. He didn’t believe the earth’s will would interfere in such a matter.

Moreover, he firmly believed that a true expert wasn’t chosen. What true one or false one? In this era of strife, only the strong one was the true one!

Afterward, he gave this matter no more thought and proceeded to study secret arts. He began to comprehend the secret volumes he had recently obtained in a bid to increase his strength.

He had reached this stage not because the statement that he was the chosen one added to his brilliance, but because he was strong enough to defeat the horde of enemies along the way. It was a truly glorious accomplishment. That was why he was resplendent and people believed he was the chosen one.

All in all, it was he himself who was stunning and earned the title of heaven’s chosen one. It wasn’t the title who earned him.

“One must seek self-improvement in this era of strife!”

The tribulation-free divine body was very powerful and known as a peerless physique. It was something that belonged to the other person and not something Chu Feng could change. What he had to do was upgrade himself and surpass the limits of the human body.

Afterward, Yuan Mo, Zi Luan, and Zhao Qing saw Chu Feng get up with a deep gleam in his eyes. He began to deduce various types of combat arts and ponder secret technique.

At dawn, Chu Feng left the big ship and stood on the surface of the sea. His upper body was bare as he faced the red sun with its flowing vitality. He was utilizing the Eastern Violet Qi Fist.

He laid down a domain, and a tattered painting scroll flew through the air. That was because he didn’t want people from the outer realms to see what he was doing, especially when he was practicing his arts.

Chu Feng’s naked arms, chest, and abdomen were all lustrous, slender, and extremely fit. Presently, he had rubbed the Heavenly Flame Elixir on himself, and it could raise his physique by 30% permanently!

He didn’t want to waste time and thus wasn’t stingy about consuming large amounts of Heavenly Flame Elixir. He only wanted to complete the process of nurturing his body as soon as possible.

Boom!

When he brandished his fist sea, the entire jade sea rose and fell as great waves crashed toward the sky.

The sky had just emerged. The air was suffused with violet qi which had gathered toward the area and enveloped Chu Feng. This allowed him to experience the true profundities of the Eastern Violet Qi Fist.

A type of extremely high-level energy, the Eastern Violet Qi represents an inexplicably noble and majestic fist intent. It was like a godking in motion, as though he were pushing the myriad heavens and stars in his wake.

Chu Feng had thoroughly comprehended this ancient fist manual.

The next moment, when he moved again, apart from the violet light flying toward him from the sun, there was also that which came from the cold cosmos. Strands of them descended from the outer realms and condensed together!

“That is…” Even Yuan Mo couldn’t help but become moved.

Chu Feng had produced a majestic phenomenon as he employed his fist seals. He resembled a godking whose every action caused his blood and qi to surge toward the sky and engulf this entire sea region. Star after star emerged and began to revolve around him.

“He’s thoroughly comprehended the Eastern Violet Qi Fist? So fast!” Zhan He, Luo Miaoxiang, Qi Yu, and the others were astonished. They naturally knew what fist manual Chu Feng was demonstrating.

Bang!

Suddenly, Chu Feng’s fist reached extreme speeds. It was different from before; his entire body was shrouded in violet qi, and the aura of the stars revolving around him became boundless. At the same time, he attacked at lightning speed.

“Flowing Light Fist. This is the Deity Race’s secret art. He’s understood it and even merged it into the Eastern Violet Qi Fist?” The great demoness Zhao Qing’s eyes were filled with a peculiar glow. She was greatly astonished.

Being capable of comprehending a top-grade combat art was already an outstanding achievement. Merging it into another first intent was something only geniuses were capable of doing. Very few would even dare to make such an attempt.

But now, Chu Feng was doing just that!

Someone who dared to do such a thing, whether he failed or succeeded, was likely extraordinary and demanded reverence.

There was qi flowing between Chu Feng’s mouth and nose. Soon, even his pores were respiring in the same manner. He employed his fist seals in an attempt to combine them into one.

It was still early in the day when he stopped and the sun wasn’t high yet. His entire body was glistening as if he were shrouded in a layer of treasured light, as if his body were cast from immortal divine gold.

Chu Feng believed that the 30% increase brought about by the Heavenly Flame Elixir had been completed.

On the ship, Yuan Mo, Zhan He, and the others had also begun to cultivate. They circulated their breathing techniques with great concentration.

Only Zi Luan was lazy. She half lay on the rattan chair, gazing at the red sun and facing the sea breeze. She held a tall glass of wine in her hand and would take a sip from time to time. She was fairly leisurely.

Chu Feng clearly understood why this proud lady’s strength was so mediocre. Although she was a saintess who had come from a high-ranking planet, she wasn’t very diligent and thus her cultivation wasn’t very high.

Someone like her who was so relaxed in the early morning could be considered overly idle—she was enjoying fine wine and sunlight without cultivating.

Glancing over at the others, they were all respiring energy.

Even the great demoness Zhao Qing who acted so charmingly during normal times was extremely serious at dawn. She sat cross-legged on the deck to perform her special breathing technique.

Even Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu, who were unhappy and wanted to run away, began their morning routine of absorbing clean energy to purify themselves in the morning light.

Chu Feng glanced toward Zi Luan and said, “Are you so free? Come over here to help me apply medicine and give me a massage.”

He had hunted a group of divine sons and saintesses. Naturally, he seized everything from them before selling them off. Among them, there was a so-called “Star Ocean Safflower” that could activate one’s vessels and increase cellular activity. It was most suitable to use after cultivation and could promote evolution.

Zi Luan turned back anxiously, but her small face turned red immediately after seeing Chu Feng’s bare and lustrous upper body. She quickly raised her glass and drank the last of the wine to disguise this fact.

“How irritating to the eyes!” she mumbled inaudibly.

Afterward, she declined proudly, “Helping you rub your neck is already the limit. I’m not going to help you apply medicine and give you a massage. Even my brother has never enjoyed such a treatment!”

“This kind of treatment… unless your brother is a siscon, or you’re a brocon!” Chu Feng retorted.

“You!” Zi Luan’s face turned red immediately.

“The others are all cultivating, so why are you goofing off?” Chu Feng asked.

“I’ve already applied the Heavenly Flame Elixir, and my constitution is increasing by the day. I feel that one should be content and happy. This is already good enough.” Zi Luan raised her small, white chin and argued her convictions. She would even stretch lazily from time to time.

Chu Feng looked at her and said, “You’re a slave, yet you’re enjoying the sea breeze and gazing at the rising sun while tasting red wine. Are you a petite bourgeoisie or are you here on holiday? I think I should just sell you.”

However, Zi Luan wasn’t afraid at all and even yawned. “The buyer has canceled the order. The transaction has failed.”

She naturally wasn’t afraid because the buyer was her own brother and father. At the same time, she also hoped they would cancel the order to prevent her family members from being scammed.

Chu Feng glanced at her and said, “Tell your brother Zi Xiao that he must deliver that secret volume we agreed upon last time even if the order is canceled.”

“Eh?!” Zi Luan was like a startled rabbit. Her eyes widened as she took a couple of steps back.

“What Eh?! Do you think I don’t know that the buyers are your family members? It is interesting actually. The two of them competed so fiercely last time. I guess it was a big blunder.” Chu Feng mocked.

“You…” Zi Luan’s small face turned red. Last time, her brother and father had started a bidding war until their eyes turned red. They were almost desperate to devour one another. In the end, they were both dumbfounded after realizing the truth. Her father even ran over to the Immemorial Temple to whip her brother.

“Contact them quickly. I’m in need of those volumes I talked to them about last time,” Chu Feng urged.

Those books were about creating one’s own arts and stressed about how suitable arts were the best. The theories of this school of thought interested him greatly.

If he could integrate his breathing techniques and divine abilities, wondrous arts would appear on their own. It was undoubtedly something to look forward to.

At first, Zi Luan was still acting coy and refused to admit it was her family.

Chu Feng was quite decisive and directly contacted Zi Xiao. That was because this young genius of the Immemorial Temple was quite famous and was a gold account holder on the Origin Beast Platform.

That day, Zi Xiao was unbearably angry. Chu Feng had come to him to ask for protection fees directly.

“Why should I comply?” When had Zi Xiao ever been scammed before? Immemorial Temple was led by a forbidden character of the heaven-illuminator level, and he was a supreme genius there. Naturally, his position was very high.

“Just from the fact that I’m supporting your sister!” Chu Feng replied thus.

Zi Xiao was furious after hearing this.

Raising his sister? These words weren’t exactly pleasant to the ears. It almost sounded like a curse or that he was taking advantage of Chu Feng. It sounded as though he were a convenient brother-in-law.

“Chu Feng, let me warn you…”

“Hold it. Will you pay up or not? If you say no, I’ll have no choice but to call you brother-in-law tomorrow morning.”

Zi Xiao was so angry that his fingers were trembling. In the end, he compromised. He immediately contacted his father and prepared to deliver the books to earth.

Before long, Chu Feng received a big package full of books.

Thereafter, he forgot about food and sleep as he studied the school’s theories. He read earnestly from dawn to dusk before putting them to practice.

Days later, it was no longer peaceful outside of earth as a battleship arrived through space. The divine son of the machine race had arrived.

At the same time, those from the Xilin clan had also arrived. It was said that the genius known as the number one divine son of the Xilin clan had arrived and was preparing to enter earth.

This news spread across the starry sky and caused everyone to be impassioned.

People knew that a storm was brewing.

The Xilin clan was a group of experts who had betrayed earth. Now, their divine son was returning to the planet. This was bound to bring forth long-term effects.

The Xilin clan divine son and Chu Feng’s upcoming battle would affect the so-called struggle for the orthodox lineage.

At this time, Yuchi Kong also appeared again with news for Chu Feng.

“I’m sorry to have come so late. Some matters came up in the middle. Yes, back to the matter at hand. Zhou Shang had agreed to fight you in secret.”

Chu Feng was indifferent toward this matter. Powerful enemies were coming from the outer realms. How could he have the time to deal with this so-called true one?

“Instead of infighting, why not let Zhou Shang compete against me and see who kills more Xilin clan experts? Let’s see who can behead that machine race divine son?!” Chu Feng suggested.
