Chapter 626 - Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak
"This Spiritual Peak is the entrance to the Golden Mountain Sect."
Old Li stood in front of Zhao Feng and introduced.
As he said that, the half-step Void God Realms from the Golden Mountain Sect had faint signs of pride on their faces.
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye scanned over what was happening within the Sacred Land.
"There's a total of three main Spiritual Peaks and thirty-three lesser Spiritual Peaks. Anyone who can obtain a lesser Spiritual Peak would be considered an elite two-star sect."
Old Li continued.
As expected.
Zhao Feng saw thirty-three lesser Spiritual Peaks around the outside border of the Sacred Land. Each of them was like a fountain that gave off continuous and dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.
Every one of them was covered with mist, and, although the scenery inside wasn't clear, it was still beautiful.
Each lesser Spiritual Peak can fit a peak two-star sect, and the environment here is far better than the mysterious canyon in the Purple Saint Ruins.
Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. These were just the lesser Spiritual Peaks.
In the center of the Sacred Land were the three main Spiritual Peaks that seemed to touch the sky.
The three main Spiritual Peaks were surrounded by the lesser Spiritual Peaks and seemed to exist in harmony with the Heaven and Earth. They radiated a powerful aura that even Void God Realm Kings didn't dare to go against.
"The main Spiritual Peaks are more than ten times bigger than the lesser Spiritual Peaks, and only three-star forces have the right to enter one."
Everyone's gaze turned toward the three blurry main Spiritual Peaks.
The main Spiritual Peaks were in the center of the Sacred Land.
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye caught sight of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi emanating from that direction; it was even purer than the lesser Spiritual Peaks, and it radiated in every direction.
"Could it be that all of these Spiritual Peaks are fountains of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi?"
Zhao Feng's heart jumped.
According to the God's Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng's guesses were correct. The main Spiritual Peaks and lesser Spiritual Peaks were all Heaven Earth Fountains that gave birth to Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.
The entire True Martial Sacred Land was at the center of a Heaven Earth Fountain within the limitless ocean. It was because of this that the Spiritual Sea surrounding the Sacred Land was extremely chaotic and that the number of forces here were much greater than other island zones.
"Hmm? That main Spiritual Peak…?"
An expert with an eye-bloodline from the sect found that something was amiss.
The three main Spiritual Peaks were in the center of the Sacred Land, but the centermost one didn't seem to have any force staying there.
"Hmm? The centermost main Spiritual Peak seems to be abandoned. Its Heaven Earth Fountain isn't as good as the other two."
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye was able to see it better. The centermost main Spiritual Peak seemed to have no one there.
"That's the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak. No one owns it."
A Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord sighed.
Those that had been to the Sacred Land before looked toward the centermost main Spiritual Peak with complex emotions, but they all contained admiration.
Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Land. Just the name alone wasn't simple.
"Dozens of thousands of years ago, there was a super sect about to reach the rank of four-stars on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak."
Old Li's face was filled with respect.
Four-star super sect?
Everyone's heart shook.
"I didn't think that the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak was a ruin of an almost-four-star sect."
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye was blocked by some sort of power from the peak.
It was unusual that no force stayed there.
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye scanned around the entire Sacred Land, then he took back his gaze.
"The Sacred Land isn't as calm and peaceful as you think it is. All you newbies, don't leave past five hundred miles of here…."
The one-armed half-step King warned.
Zhao Feng understood. There were only thirty-three lesser Spiritual Peaks, but the number of two-star sects in the True Martial Islands Zone alone exceeded one hundred.
Apart from the Spiritual Peaks, there were large patches of forest, lakes, deserts, and other areas.
"Of course, there's another important point – never offend anyone from the Mystic True Sacred Clan or the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan."
Old Li added.
When they started speaking about the two three-star clans, all three half-step Void God Realms had solemn expressions and fear in their eyes.
Three-star clans. Mystic True Sacred Clan and the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.
All the newbies here remembered that.
The difference between every star was enormous. Even the difference of half a star represented a huge difference in strength
"Zhao Feng."
An emotionless voice sounded within his soul.
The next instant, a Void God Realm power descended from the sky and froze everyone's consciousness.
Zhao Feng raised his head and saw the outline of the blue-robed King in the sky.
"Greetings, King."
Zhao Feng immediately bowed. Normal experts would all feel excited or scared when a King called out their name.
The King in blue stared at him before speaking, "Come with me."
As soon as he said that, an overwhelming power raised Zhao Feng into the sky.
He had no chance to fight back at all.
Zhao Feng's heart jumped. Just how strong was the Void God Realm?
Normal Sovereigns didn't even have the ability to think about fighting back.
Shua! Shua!
The blue-robed King's figure flashed once more. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had been taken to a garden.
The blue-robed King stood with his hands behind his back, but he didn't immediately speak.
Just as Zhao Feng was puzzled:
Sou!
Old Li flew through the air and greeted the Grand Elder uneasily.
Zhao Feng found that the pressure within the dimension of the Sacred Land was extremely strong, so even the speed of a half-step Void God Realm was restricted heavily.
Normal True Spirit Realms probably couldn't even fly here.
"You two need to give me an explanation."
The blue-robed King spoke to the two with his back toward them.
Zhao Feng glanced toward Old Li, and the latter's face was filled with bitterness.
If it weren't for the Pursuit of Death, the situation wouldn't have become so complex.
Zhao Feng had obtained the Golden Mountain Sect's guest token through the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord and entered the True Martial Sacred Land. This alone was an abuse of power.
If it weren't for the Pursuit of Death, Old Li could've handled that just fine since he was a half-step Void God Realm. Void God Realms lived up in the sky and didn't have the time to bother with such small situations.
"Grand Elder, this all begins with the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord…"
Old Li didn't dare to conceal anything. He didn't dare to lie because the Void God intent had locked on to him.
When mentioning the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord, Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel guilty. The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord took a big risk to help him.
They soon told the King about how Zhao Feng was able to enter the Sacred Land.
"I'm not interested in all that. You just need to confirm whether one thing is true or false."
The blue-robed King turned around and his eyes landed on Zhao Feng.
At this moment, Zhao Feng was able to see his figure clearly. He was a scholarly male with an overwhelming aura.
"Are you really related to Duanmu Qing?"
The eyes of the blue-robed King twinkled.
"This junior's ancestor knows him…."
Zhao Feng explained. He told the King the same version that he told to the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.
"I'll believe you for now."
The blue-robed King wasn't suspicious. He didn't believe that someone would undergo so much risk to enter the Sacred Land if they were an outsider.
Of course, he couldn't exclude the possibility that Zhao Feng wanted to enter the Sacred Land solely in order to escape from the Pursuit of Death.
"Go and settle Zhao Feng. I'll try to reach out to Emperor Duanmu."
The King in blue waved his hand.
Zhao Feng and Old Li acted as if they had been pardoned and immediately left the garden.
Right now, the main issue was to confirm the situation about Duanmu Qing.
The only problem would be if this Duanmu Qing somehow isn't the one that Senior Purple Saint was talking about….
Zhao Feng's emotions were unable to calm down.
Not long after the two left the garden.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Several shining figures appeared in the garden. They were all different genders, ages, and looks.
"The bloodline aura is unusual. Although it's not of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, it's extremely close to it…."
An old voice sounded.
"Hmph, even if he has the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, it'd be hard for him to end up in the Golden Mountain Sect. Our most important task right now is to confirm his relationship with Duanmu Qing."
"Although our sect also has an Emperor, every force below three stars is wary of the Emperor of Death."
Several Kings started to discuss.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. We won't be disadvantaged either way."
The blue-robed King smiled faintly.
"If this Zhao Feng does indeed have a relationship with Duanmu Qing, then we'll help him and gain a connection with the Mystic True Sacred Clan, which will help consolidate our position in the Sacred Land. If he isn't related to Duanmu Qing, then we'll just give him to the subordinates of the Emperor of Death and make him owe us a favor."
Hearing that, all the shining lights agreed.
"But… Duanmu Qing is always in seclusion, and it's extremely hard even for Kings to see him."
A woman's voice sounded.
"There's no need to worry. The Demigod Forgotten Garden that opens once every five hundred years is about to begin. No matter how busy Duanmu Qing is, he'll have heard of this."
The old voice said.
"Demigod Forgotten Garden? Zhe zhe, have we confirmed our picks? This is a great fortune once every five hundred years."
Back at the lesser Spiritual Peak, Zhao Feng was put in a guest room. He had the status of a guest as he stayed in the Spiritual Peak of the Golden Mountain Sect.
"Duanmu Qing… I hope the person that Senior Purple Saint told me about won't have any problems."
Zhao Feng took a deep breath. He felt that Duanmu Qing was someone who could affect his destiny, just like his master, Lord Guanjun. Without Lord Guanjun, Zhao Feng never would have entered the world of cultivation.
Bo~~
A glowing purple token appeared in his hand.

Chapter 627 - Demigod Forgotten Garden
Within the Golden Mountain Sect's Spiritual Peak, Zhao Feng took out the Purple Saint Token in the guest room.
"Now that I've arrived at the True Martial Sacred Land, the most important task right now is to contact Duanmu Qing."
Zhao Feng put his Spiritual Sense into the Purple Saint Token.
He tried to send information through the Purple Saint Token to the Purple Saint Ruins, which was extremely far away. If he could somehow contact the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, he might be able to see Duanmu Qing quickly.
Although the Golden Mountain Sect had methods of contacting Duanmu Qing, Zhao Feng wouldn't put all his hope and fate on someone else.
However, there was no response even after a long time.
Maybe the Purple Saint Ruins was too far away, or maybe the Spiritual Sacred Land was a separate dimension that made it hard for information to travel out.
Half a day later, Zhao Feng tried again multiple times, but it was like sinking stones into the ocean.
Hu~~
Zhao Feng let out a long breath and shook his head faintly.
He wasn't surprised that the news couldn't travel out.
After trying and ending in failure, Zhao Feng silently put the Purple Saint Token away.
At the same time, in a clean and elegant room in a main Spiritual Peak in the center of the Sacred Land.
"Hmm? That aura just now…"
There was a blurry figure of a male with hair as white as snow surrounded by light.
The light around him started to fade, and reminiscence appeared on the male's face as he murmured in a low tone, "Was it just me?"
Immediately following that, an ancient Divine Sense spread across the entire True Martial Sacred Land, and it even went outside the Sacred Land.
In that instant, the hearts of every expert in the Sacred Land trembled. Even Void God Realm Kings felt uneasy.
"Whose Divine Sense is this?"
"There aren't many Emperors in the Sacred Land with such strong Divine Sense."
The ancient Divine Sense made the upper echelon of the Sacred Land break out into discussion.
"It's him!"
Only a small number of Emperors knew who owned the Divine Sense, and they were moved by it.
The powerful Divine Sense scanned across the Sacred Land and stopped around five or six lesser Spiritual Peaks for a moment.
In the Golden Mountain Sect's lesser Spiritual Peak, the hearts of several Kings and half-step Void God Realms felt uneasy, including the King in blue. The Divine Sense of an Emperor actually stopped around their peak for a moment.
At this point, Zhao Feng left his room and went for a walk to see the environment of the Sacred Land.
"Little Friend Zhao."
Old Li respectfully stayed by his side, and Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel weird. The Golden Mountain Sect sent a half-step Void God Realm to stay by a measly Small Origin Core Realm's side?
"Little friend, this is an order from the higher-ups."
Old Li was slightly bitter. Before they managed to learn the full truth, Zhao Feng wasn't to leave the Golden Mountain Sect's lesser Spiritual Peak. At the end of the day, the Golden Mountain Sect was still wary of Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng didn't take it to heart. Having a half-step King next to him meant that things would be a lot smoother wherever he went.
Old Li took Zhao Feng throughout the Golden Mountain Sect and introduced all the sceneries within.
"Hm? It's Elder Li."
"And Zhao Feng!"
Two voices came from the building in front.
Zhao Feng looked over and saw a few young men and women near the building. They weren't very old, so they seemed to be from the Golden Mountain Sect's younger generation.
The two that spoke were a beauty in white and a skinny male.
Zhao Feng knew these two; he sparred with them back in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.
Seeing Zhao Feng here, the two were overjoyed.
"Greetings, Elder."
The disciples all bowed toward Old LI.
"This is Little Friend Zhao, a guest of the Golden Mountain Sect. Yin Yuan, you and the other geniuses of the same generation can interact with each other."
Old Li smiled and said. He purposely called out a tall youth who seemed to be around thirty years old, and his aura stood out amongst the rest.
Great Origin Core Realm.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but take another look at the youth called Yin Yuan. If he was correct, this was the Senior Martial Brother Yin the beauty in white and the skinny male talked about back then. He was the number one genius of the Golden Mountain Sect.
"Relax, Elder. I will take good care of the guest."
Yin Yuan was pretty respectful toward Elder Li. With Elder Li's help, Zhao Feng, Yin Yuan, and some other geniuses from the Golden Mountain Sect introduced themselves.
Most of them were Personal or Core disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect.
Amongst them, the pretty girl in white and the skinny male only just entered the Sacred Land, so their status was low in comparison to the others. Therefore, the two acted warmer toward Zhao Feng.
"Hehe, you youngsters should interact with each other. This old man will leave for a while."
Elder Li smiled and left.
Before he left, Elder Li gave Yin Yuan a warning through his Divine Sense.
"Elder means that I'm not to offend this Zhao Feng and it's best for me to have a good relationship with him?"
Yin Yuan couldn't help but inspect Zhao Feng closely.
Being the only disciple that had reached the Great Origin Core Realm in the Golden Mountain Sect, Yin Yuan's eyesight and knowledge were far better than the others.
If it weren't for Elder Li's warning, he wouldn't have paid much attention to Zhao Feng.
However, after inspecting Zhao Feng closely, Yin Yuan was puzzled.
In his eyes, Zhao Feng was indeed a genius. The aura from his bloodline and his cultivation surpassed others at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm. But even then, why did he need to purposely suck up to Zhao Feng?
He, Yin Yuan, was one of the top prodigies even in the Sacred Land.
"That Zhao Feng's strength is incredibly great. We sparred with him before we entered the Sacred Land, and we were nowhere close to him."
The skinny male in the group sighed.
"Apart from Senior Martial Brother Yin, we've never seen such a genius before…."
The beauty in white praised from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Feng had defeated the two instantly, and at that time, Zhao Feng's cultivation was the same as theirs – only the early-stage Small Origin Core Realm.
The praise from the two came from the bottom of their hearts, but those nearby who heard them felt somewhat unhappy.
"Hmph, how can this brat be compared to Senior Martial Brother Yin?"
There were several super geniuses of the Golden Mountain Sect present who had reached the late and peak stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.
These super geniuses laughed coldly in their hearts.
Hearing them, Senior Martial Brother Yin Yuan smiled without saying anything.
Seeing that no one really believed them, the expressions of the pretty girl in white and the skinny male started to waver.
Zhao Feng, Yin Yuan, and some other geniuses then started to talk white they sipped tea.
"It seems as if Brother Yin has just broken through to the Great Origin Core Realm not long ago."
Zhao Feng said nonchalantly.
Hmm?
Brother Yin was slightly surprised.
Zhao Feng just arrived at the Golden Mountain Sect, how did he know he only just broke through to the Great Origin Core Realm?
One had to know that, after half a month, he had consolidated his foundation, and his aura was concealed.
It was hard for those with lower cultivation to detect the cultivation of those higher than them.
"Everyone knows that Brother Yin broke through to the Great Origin Core Realm two months ago…."
A late-stage Small Origin Core Realm brown-haired male said faintly.
The brown-haired male wasn't happy with how the Elders and Head disciples were treating Zhao Feng, who was only a measly middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm.
He ignored some details though. This was the first time that Zhao Feng had come to the Golden Mountain Sect and even seen Brother Yin, so how would he know anything about the latter's situation?
Brother Yin, however, paid attention. If Zhao Feng could see that he had broken to the Great Origin Core Realm not long ago just from looking at him, then Zhao Feng definitely wasn't simple.
"On the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship, Zhao Feng's strength was comparable to a half-step Void God Realm, and he was able to retreat unharmed."
Colors appeared in the beauty in white's eyes as she started to talk about what happened on the Golden Dragon Scaled ship.
In reality, none of them actually understood what happened on the Golden Dragon Scaled ship. They thought the reason they won was because of the three half-step Void God Realms, and all Zhao Feng did was stall.
After all, the other side consisted of three half-step Kings.
"Hahahaha! A Small Origin Core Realm fighting with a half-step King? No matter how I hear it, it seems to be just a story."
The brown-haired male roared in laughter.
Indeed. A Small Origin Core Realm fighting a half-step King only appeared in stories or legends, even if they only managed to fight for a couple breaths.
Even Senior Martial Brother Yin couldn't help but smile.
Everything these two were saying was too exaggerated.
Maybe the pretty girl in white just wanted to exaggerate Zhao Feng to raise his status.
"I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, ask Elder Li!"
The pretty girl in white said angrily. She felt wronged. Everything she said was the truth. She witnessed it all with her own eyes, and instead of believing her, all of them had mockery on their faces.
If Elder Li was here, he would tell them the truth, but Elder Li wanted to give the juniors a chance to interact with each other, so he left.
The group obviously wouldn't bother Elder Li for a small matter like this.
"Thanks for your help."
Zhao Feng acted as if everything was normal, and he gave the skinny male and the beauty in white comforting looks.
After talking for a while, someone soon asked to spar.
"En, the once-every-five-hundred-years Demigod Forgotten Garden will be opening soon. Even the Golden Mountain Sect only has five slots available. Apparently, the competition for the Demigod Forgotten Garden is extremely fierce…."
Senior Martial Brother Yin nodded his head. He had just reached the Great Origin Core Realm, and he wanted to show off his skills at the once-every-five-hundred-years Demigod Forgotten Garden.
Of course, one thing that the Sacred Land didn't lack was geniuses. There were many people that even Brother Yin was wary of.
One person alone wasn't enough in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
"That's right, everyone should spar with each other. This will help us in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Of course, we can't forget our guest."
The brown-haired late-stage Small Origin Core Realm male's gaze landed playfully on Zhao Feng. Because of the "bullshit" spoken by the beauty in white and the skinny male before, many disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect wanted to confront him.
"Demigod Forgotten Garden?"
Zhao Feng revealed interest and didn't take their battle-intent to heart.
"God" referred to the Heavenly Divine Realm, the highest level of cultivation in the Fan Universe. Demigod referred to the peak Mystic Light Realm – someone who was half a step into a God's domain.
Even the Purple Night Sacred Lord at her peak didn't have the right to be called a Demigod.

Chapter 628 - Shock
Yin Yuan answered everything that Zhao Feng asked.
"The Demigod Forgotten Garden is a secret garden left behind by an expert from the sect that was about to reach four-stars dozens of millennia ago. Apparently, that expert was only one step away from becoming a God but died from the God Tribulations."
Admiration appeared in Yin Yuan's voice.
Four-star forces and the Heavenly Divine Realm were extremely far away even for children of Heaven. These only appeared in legends. Across the entire Cang Ocean, there wasn't even a shadow of a four-star force, and the Heavenly Divine Realm was even further away.
"Four-star super sect, could it be…?"
Zhao Feng's gaze turned toward the desolate main Spiritual Peak in the middle of the Sacred Land – the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.
"Correct."
Yin Yuan's voice contained praise, "The Demigod Forgotten Garden is on top of the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak. The Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak also has many other inheritances and secret dimensions. Some have even lasted since the ancient and immemorial eras."
Everyone's gaze turned toward the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak with expectation and respect.
Zhao Feng finally understood why the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak was called that.
The True Martial Sacred Land had existed for an extremely long time, and it contained many two-star and three-star forces. There was countless Void God Realms, and there were even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.
However, not every expert was able to find a suitable inheritor before their death. These experts left either their wealth or their inheritance on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak, awaiting a suitable person.
"Those that were able to leave inheritances behind were all at least at the Void God Realm. Even the oldest Heaven's Legacy Inheritance left behind a high-tier branch inheritance here…."
Everyone was full of respect when they talked about the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.
Zhao Feng's heart also became full of respect. He didn't think that the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak had such meaning behind it. It had witnessed prodigy after prodigy, expert after expert, era after era, and it continued their legends.
"The Demigod Forgotten Garden is one of the most top-secret realms within the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak, and it contains the wealth and inheritance of a Demigod."
Yin Yuan sighed.
The Demigod Forgotten Inheritance only opened once every five hundred years, and the entire Golden Mountain Sect only had five spots open, one of which was taken by Yin Yuan.
The topic about the Demigod Forgotten Garden soon finished, and the Core disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect started to spar in the martial arts field.
Two disciples soon started to fight, and Zhao Feng watched with interest.
Although the martial arts field only had a radius of a hundred yards, there was a special array that made the inside expand to ten miles.
Furthermore, the pressure within the Sacred Land was extremely strong; the attacks of normal True Spirit Realms could only cover dozens of yards anyway.
Simply put, all power was restricted here.
Of the two Golden Mountain Sect disciples, one was at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and the other was at the late stage.
The late-stage Small Origin Core Realm was the brown-haired youth from earlier.
"Chaos Sky Opening Palm!"
Although the brown-haired youth's attack was slow, it was steady, and it created a mixture of five colors as it broke through everything in its path.
The intent within the attack made even Zhao Feng's eyes light up.
As expected of a sect from the Sacred Land. His battle technique and bloodline allow him to easily defeat several others at the same cultivation in the outside world.
Zhao Feng secretly nodded his head.
It wouldn't have been easy to defeat this brown-haired youth if he hadn't reached the Origin Core Realm.
Even the skeletal Division Leader wouldn't have a very good chance of winning against the brown-haired youth.
Boom!
A five-colored light in the shape of a mountain sent the other Core disciple flying.
"Brother Wan, your Chaos Sky Opening Palm's intent is almost at the Great Origin Core Realm. This one admits defeat."
The losing disciple's face was filled with bitterness.
The brown-haired youth's cultivation, bloodline, and technique were all the best among the Small Origin Core Realm.
After winning, the brown-haired youth glanced toward Zhao Feng with a smile, "This one isn't talented and is only ranked amongst the top twenty of the Golden Mountain Sect. I would like to ask Brother Zhao for pointers."
His tone was extremely humble.
Top twenty?
Some of the core disciples revealed weird expressions.
"Hehe, Brother Wan is too humble."
"That brat was so exaggerated before. He can definitely defeat a disciple who's only in the top twenty, right?"
Many disciples were waiting to watch the show.
Only the beauty in white and the skinny male were tense and uneasy. After all, they praised Zhao Feng's strength so much earlier.
"Zhao Feng, you've got to defeat him."
The beauty in white clenched her fists with expectation. She admired Zhao Feng from the depths of her heart.
Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled. It wasn't hard for him to see that the brown-haired youth would actually be ranked amongst the top five of the Golden Mountain Sect with his strength.
"Brother Wan is too humble. Your strength should be enough to be ranked within the top five of the Golden Mountain Sect."
Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
Hearing that, the brown-haired youth's heart gently shook. It was obvious that Zhao Feng's eyes were extremely sharp.
"Take my palm!"
The brown-haired youth didn't think too much before immediately sending a five-colored mountain crushing over.
Zhao Feng's body started to become heavy when facing the attack's intent. It was rare for people of the outside world under the Great Origin Core Realm to give him such a feeling.
Purple Destruction Wind Lightning!
Zhao Feng stood unmoving and swiped his hand casually, sending waves of purple-colored Wind Lightning toward the brown-haired youth's palm.
Crack!
The Chaos Sky Opening Palm instantly shattered in front of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.
Furthermore, a slightly purple remnant aura of Destruction followed through and forced the brown-haired youth to retreat.
"My Chaos Sky Opening Palm was actually…"
The brown-haired youth revealed shock as he retreated.
Zhao Feng didn't even use an actual skill. Just his True Yuan alone had an aura of Destruction.
"Chaos Mountain Opening Palm – Ninth Sky!"
The brown-haired youth roared as he circulated his True Yuan to its peak and sent wave after wave of five-colored lights in the shape of nine mountains.
This attack was enough to challenge those at the Great Origin Core Realm.
"Break."
Zhao Feng laughed lightly and punched out. A purple fist travelled through the sky like a dragon and instantly smashed through the brown-haired youth's Chaos Mountain Opening Palm Ninth Sky simply and brutally.
Crack! Crack! Boom!
The brown-haired youth groaned in pain as purple lightning swept across him.
"So strong!"
The expressions of the other geniuses changed dramatically.
Bam!
The smoking figure of the youth with brown hair was thrown out of the martial arts field.
"Thank you."
Zhao Feng had controlled his power extremely well or else the brown-haired youth would have turned into dust by now.
"What shocking Wind Lightning intent. The power of his True Yuan is extremely close to the Great Origin Core Realm."
Even Senior Martial Brother Yin Yuan had a solemn expression.
Zhao Feng's easy victory made the disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect replace their playfulness with wariness and fear.
"Hmph, I told you! Zhao Feng's strength is comparable to the peak geniuses of the Sacred Land."
The pretty girl in white and the skinny male felt much better.
"Let me fight."
A thick-eyebrowed youth jumped out from the crowd. His cultivation was almost at the peak Small Origin Core Realm.
His ranking in the Golden Mountain Sect was even higher than the brown-haired youth.
However, he only managed to last one move as well.
Boom!
The chaotic purple Wind Lightning draconic fist immediately broke through the thick-eyebrowed youth's attack.
Bam!
The thick-eyebrowed youth's body was sent flying at a speed even faster than the brown-haired youth.
All the geniuses took in cold breaths, and even Brother Yin's face changed.
The second strongest Core disciple of the Golden Mountain Sect, with a cultivation at the peak Small Origin Core Realm, went up.
"Break!"
Zhao Feng used the same move and sent the opponent flying once again.
His attack had reached the level of the Great Origin Core Realm. Anyone below the Great Origin Core Realm had no chance against him at all.
As Zhao Feng defeated the second strongest core disciple, several powerful Divine Senses travelled through the air.
"This Zhao Feng isn't simple."
A Void God Realm King said.
"From the looks of it, he can even fight with the Head disciple."
At this moment, several Kings of the Golden Mountain Sect were watching the fight below.
Even Old Li was hiding nearby.
"How would they know how strong Zhao Feng truly is…?"
Old Li started to remember what happened on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship. Zhao Feng played a vital part in the fight against the three Death Guards.
Right at this moment, Head Disciple Yin and Zhao Feng started to fight.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two powers that had reached the level of the Great Origin Core Realm started to clash.
Zhao Feng wasn't as casual as before. He started to move around the martial arts field.
After all, he's the Head disciple of a big sect.
Zhao Feng circulated his True Yuan and even part of his bloodline power to fight Yin Yuan.
Although Yin Yuan had only broken through to the Great Origin Core Realm not too long ago, his true strength was comparable to the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm or higher in the outside world.
"Senior Martial Brother Yin, don't lose to that brat!"
The disciples watching started to sweat coldly.
If Brother Yin Yuan lost, then the Golden Mountain Sect would lose a lot of face.
After a hundred moves, Zhao Feng suddenly retreated from the fight and clasped his fists together with a smile, "Looks like this fight will end in a draw."
Brother Yin didn't say anything. He let out a breath before giving Zhao Feng a deep glance. Instinct told him that Zhao Feng was still conserving his strength.
In the air, several Void God Realm Kings were silent for a while.
"If this Zhao Feng went all out, Yin Yuan probably wouldn't even last ten moves."
"Ten? I would say three."
The Void God Realm Kings had reached an incredible height.
Who knew what the disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect – especially Brother Yin – would think if they knew what these Void God Realms were talking about?
"Hmph, I told you all. Zhao Feng's strength is comparable to Brother Yin."
The pretty girl in white said proudly.
In the battle just now, Zhao Feng stunned the Golden Mountain Sect.
Several Void God Realm intents travelled through the air.
"If that brat joins the Golden Mountain Sect and enters the Demigod Forgotten Garden, he'll be a dark horse."
"That's probably unrealistic…."
"Oh yeah, Duanmu Qing's come out of seclusion. Is there any news from him?"

Chapter 629 - Emperor Projection
Right as the Void God Realms were interacting with one another:
Sou! Sou!
The sound of flying came from outside the Golden Mountain Sect.
"Who's there!?"
"Kill whoever dares to enter the Golden Mountain Sect!"
Several experts on patrol roared.
However, the people that were flying didn't show any signs that they cared.
"Hmph, a measly two-star sect isn't scared that the wind will cut their tongues?"
One of flying people was a male surrounded by a dark light, and he radiated an evil aura.
"A King of the Demonic Dao!"
In front of this demonic force, the regulators and the patrols around the Golden Mountain Sect felt as if their minds were restricted, and they felt it was suddenly hard to breathe.
Weng!
A male covered in black scales started to appear from within the black light. The man had black scales across his entire body, and he looked extremely ugly but also quite fierce.
"Elder of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan – Tu Wanli!"
Old Li's expression changed dramatically when his eyes landed on the newly-arrived Void God Realm King. This King was not only infamous, he also came from a three-star clan – the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.
"All of you, retreat."
With a flash of blue, the blue-robed King's figure appeared, and all the Golden Mountain Sect patrols quickly retreated.
Only Kings could fight against Kings, not to mention that the newcomer was an Elder from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.
"Hehe, may I ask why Elder Tu has come?"
The blue-robed Elder was full of smiles. He didn't dare to put on any kind of act.
In the Sacred Land, three-star forces were unparalleled superpowers, and many two-star sects were subordinate to three-star forces. Maybe ten two-star sects combined could put up a bit of a fight against a three-star force.
At this moment, the scene in the air also shocked Zhao Feng.
The power of the Demonic Dao King put the entire Golden Mountain Sect in a tense atmosphere, and Zhao Feng couldn't help but look over.
There were several familiar figures next to Tu Wanli.
"Death Guards!"
Zhao Feng's heart jumped, and his face lost color.
There was a total of four Death Guards, as well as a warm youth and a white-eyed little girl.
"Is the Golden Mountain Sect hiding a thief named Zhao Feng?"
Tu Wanli asked loudly as he scanned his Divine Sense across the entire lesser Spiritual Peak with a cruel smile.
"Zhao Feng?"
The blue-robed Elder paused, and his expression became somewhat ugly.
The Elder of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan had come to the Golden Mountain Sect to cause trouble without any wariness or fear.
"Hehe, according to my news, a thief named Zhao Feng is hiding in the Golden Mountain Sect's territory."
Tu Wanli saw the expression in the blue-robed King's eyes.
At the same time, the warm youth and the four Death Guards flew into the air and used their Spiritual Sense or their Divine Sense to search around.
"There! Found him!"
A Death Guard exclaimed as his eyes landed on a genius near the martial arts field.
"You are Zhao Feng?"
The warm youth revealed a smile, as if welcoming an old friend.
The four Death Guards all looked gloatingly toward Zhao Feng in the crowd.
"Take him!"
Tu Wanli laughed and ordered.
The warm youth and the four Death Guards leapt toward Zhao Feng without hesitation.
"Stop!"
A powerful force of a King descended from the sky, which made the warm youth and the four Death Guards freeze.
This force came from the blue-robed King.
"What? The Golden Mountain Sect wants to stop the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan?"
Tu Wanli's expression became dim.
"This Zhao Feng is a guest of the Golden Mountain Sect. Even if the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan wants to take him, you need to give an explanation."
The blue-robed Elder's expression was unhappy, but he was crying bitterly in his heart.
There were several other Kings in the Golden Mountain Sect, and they weren't scared of Tu Wanli. The only problem was that Tu Wanli might be representing the entire Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.
Furthermore, Tu Wanli's status wasn't simple. His master was an ancient Emperor who had a high status in the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.
"Explanation? I'm representing my master – the Scarlet Demonic Emperor – in capturing Zhao Feng."
Tu Wanli snickered coldly as he took out a scarlet-and-black token.
Weng~~
An ancient intent of a demonic Emperor flashed across the scarlet-and-black token.
In that instant, the hearts of some Kings in the Golden Mountain Sect trembled.
The Void God Realm was split into the early, middle, late, and peak stages.
Only someone at the peak stages of the Void God Realm – someone whose soul had evolved – could be called an Emperor.
Emperors stood at the peak of the Void God Realm. As long as their soul wasn't destroyed, it was difficult to kill them. Therefore, the lifespan of an Emperor was extremely long; they could live dozens of thousands of years.
"It's the intent of the Scarlet Demonic Emperor. No wonder Tu Wanli is so confident."
The blue-robed King took in a cold breath.
The Scarlet Demonic Emperor was extremely famous among the Sacred Lands. Even the Emperor that was always in seclusion within the Golden Mountain Sect wasn't his match.
Kings and Emperors were forbidden-level powers of two- and three-star forces, and the stronger Emperors could destroy an entire two-star sect, such as the Emperor of Death.
"Sigh."
When Tu Wanli took out the item representing the Scarlet Demonic Emperor, the Kings from the Golden Mountain Sect couldn't help but sigh in sympathy.
In this situation, the Golden Mountain Sect couldn't do anything else.
"Zhao Feng, let's see how you will run away this time."
"Even if you hide in the Sacred Land, we can pressure a two-star sect using our connections with the three-star forces. No one can protect you any longer."
The warm youth and the four Death Guards revealed victorious smiles.
At this moment, after the Void God Realm power faded away, Zhao Feng was left alone. No one would protect him.
"Looks like the Emperor of Death still has some ability. He can actually affect three-star forces in the True Martial Sacred Land."
Zhao Feng snickered coldly, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Hmm?
The warm youth and the four Death Guards felt that something was wrong.
At this point in time, Zhao Feng had neither protection nor a path of retreat. How was he able to be so calm?
Weng~
A purple-colored token trembled slightly in Zhao Feng's palm.
Hmph!
Zhao Feng's smile became bigger and bigger.
Not long ago, the silent Purple Saint Token suddenly sensed something, and the aura wasn't coming from the Purple Saint Ruins – it was coming from the center of the Sacred Land.
The warm youth and the four Death Guards felt slightly uneasy, but they still charged at Zhao Feng.
"You are the subordinates of the Emperor of Death?"
A calm voice sounded, and it seemed both close and far away at the same time. It was as if space was clashing with itself.
The next instant, a powerful Divine Sense passed through the air, and the power of an Emperor caused the Heaven and Earth to shake.
Wah!
The four Death Guards all spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Emperor!"
The warm youth's figure shook as he suppressed his boiling blood and soul.
"That Divine Sense, could it be…!?"
Tu Wanli's heart shook as he shouted out.
Weng~
The power of an Emperor caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to roar.
The figure of a hundred-yard-tall male with white hair appeared, and it was surrounded by light. It seemed as if he was a god.
"A Void God Projection!"
"A mere Void God Projection is this strong?"
The hearts of the Golden Mountain Sect Kings shook.
"Greetings… Emperor."
Tu Wanli bowed his head in front of the hundred-yard-tall white-haired male. His face was completely red, and his breathing was heavy.
Plop! Plop!
The four Death Guards couldn't handle the pressure, and they fell to their knees.
Only the warm youth barely managed to hold on. He looked up at the Emperor's Projection with gritted teeth as he spoke in a trembling tone, "You know my Master?"
"The Emperor of Death? I've seen him a few times. It makes me envious that he has such an excellent disciple like you."
The Void God Projection spoke emotionlessly.
At this moment, the entire True Martial Sacred Land broke out into discussion, and many Divine Senses scanned toward the lesser Spiritual Peak of the Golden Mountain Sect.
"It's Duanmu Qing's Void God Projection!"
"We haven't seen Duanmu Qing's strength in the past thousand years. I didn't think that he'd be this strong."
Some of the Kings and Emperors within the True Martial Sacred Land were woken up by the force of the projection, including Tu Wanli's master, the Scarlet Demonic Emperor.
"From the looks of this Void God Projection, it seems that Duanmu Qing's strength is almost unparalleled among Emperors."
The Scarlet Demonic Emperor's expression was solemn.
He watched silently and didn't do anything, but he was also puzzled. Why did Duanmu Qing involve himself in this matter?
Right at this moment, Zhao Feng on the lesser Spiritual Peak finally spoke.
"Greetings, Senior Duanmu. I've come here under the will of Senior Purple Saint."
Zhao Feng held out the Purple Saint Token and bowed toward the Void God Projection in the air.
Senior Purple Saint… which expert could that be?
Divine Senses travelled throughout the Golden Mountain Sect's lesser Spiritual Peak.
The Kings from the Golden Mountain Sect, Tu Wanli, and other Emperors gently murmured these words.
"Purple Saint? Could it be…?"
The heart of an old King in the Golden Mountain Sect shook.
"Purple Night Sacred Lord!"
Several old Emperors within the True Martial Sacred Land exclaimed.
"It's definitely the Purple Night Sacred Lord. Not many people in the entire Sacred Land can be compared to her…."
"If I remember correctly, the Purple Night Sacred Lord is Duanmu Qing's aunt, and she comes from a legendary family in a dynasty far away."
Some old people remembered the past.
In the sky, the figure of the male with white hair couldn't help but reminisce
"Come with me."
The male swiped his hand.
Shua!
Zhao Feng's body was like a piece of paper as he was dragged along by the image of the male and disappeared from the lesser Spiritual Peak.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng and the Emperor Projection disappeared.
Hu~
The experts near the Golden Mountain Sect, including the Divine Sense of a few Kings, all let out a breath.
Tu Wanli's expression kept flickering, while the warm youth and the four Death Guards had ugly expressions.
None of them would have thought that Zhao Feng had connections with a peak Emperor of the Sacred Land.
Even more incredibly, there was a fallen Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord behind Zhao Feng's back. Even if a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord died, their effect on the future was immeasurable.
"Zhao Feng, it seems like your history is stronger than I had imagined. Looks like it was worth it for the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord and I to send you to the Sacred Land."
Old Li let out a long breath.

Chapter 630 - Disciple Ceremony
In the center of the Sacred Land, the three main Spiritual Peaks seemed to connect to the heavens.
The centermost one that was in ruins was the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.
The left and right main Spiritual Peaks were held by the two three-star forces.
The left main Spiritual Peak was the Mystic True Sacred Clan's territory.
On top of the Mystic True Sacred Clan's main Spiritual Peak, within a pure, clean, and elegant room, Zhao Feng's heart jumped up and down as he looked at the white-haired man in front of him with respect.
This was Duanmu Qing.
Duanmu Qing's hair was pure white, and his eyes lit up like stars. His appearance could be said to be perfect. His skin was white and as smooth as marble.
Furthermore, this Emperor had a warm and calm aura. His every movement and action seemed to be a gentle spring breeze.
All in all, this person seemed to be perfection, yet extremely close and warm to others.
"You are Zhao Feng? There's no need to be nervous. This is the True Martial Sacred Land. Even if the Emperor of Death himself arrives, he can't harm you."
Duanmu Qing inspected Zhao Feng and gave a warm smile.
Zhao Feng's emotions started to calm down.
Earlier, Duanmu Qing used his Emperor Projection and made the Death Guards kneel. The power of that shocked Zhao Feng, but he started to regain his calm. His sharp senses could see the impatience hiding within the depths of Duanmu Qing's eyes.
It wasn't hard to guess that Duanmu Qing really wanted to know what had happened to the Purple Night Sacred Lord.
However, Duanmu Qing had been raised nicely, and his actions were elegant. He didn't rush Zhao Feng; he calmed Zhao Feng down instead.
Without Duanmu Qing asking, Zhao Feng took out the Purple Saint Token and started to talk about what had happened in the Purple Saint Ruins, as well as his first and second visits.
He did talk about a little bit about himself protecting the Purple Saint Ruins, but he placed importance on how Zhao Yufei had been picked the Purple Night Sacred Lord as the inheritor, as well as the current situation of the Purple Saint Ruins.
When Duanmu Qing heard the danger that the Purple Saint Ruins was in, it was hard for him to conceal his worry.
"I didn't think that Aunt Purple Night still hid a secret realm in the world, or that she would be able to pick someone with the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races as the inheritor."
Duanmu Qing sighed.
After knowing the relationship between Zhao Feng and the Purple Night Sacred Lord, Duanmu Qing's gaze toward Zhao Feng was much warmer.
It was as if he was looking at a descendant of his.
"Zhao Feng, how did you offend the Emperor of Death? This Emperor has the Eye of Death, and no one under the Mystic Light Realm is confident that they can defeat him."
Duanmu Qing's eyes revealed solemnness.
Every King and Emperor was wary of the Emperor of Death.
Zhao Feng then talked about him meeting Grandmaster Yin Kong and how he triggered a Token of Death when he killed him, which brought the Pursuit of Death upon him.
However, Zhao Feng said nothing about the God's Eye. The God Eye only increased the Emperor of Death's desire to capture Zhao Feng.
"So that's what happened. You triggered the Pursuit of Death when protecting the Purple Saint Ruins…."
Duanmu Qing's face was filled with praise and gratitude.
Even after meeting an Emperor, Zhao Feng managed to quickly calm down. This calmness he had wasn't something other geniuses had.
However, Duanmu Qing didn't know that Zhao Feng had the ninth God's Eye. After all, he wasn't a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes. Although he realized that Zhao Feng's eye-bloodline was unusual, he didn't relate it to a God Eye.
The Emperor of Death was just a descendant of a God Eye and yet he was already so incredibly strong. Those with God Eyes were one of a kind, and they were extremely far away even for Emperors.
An hour later, Duanmu Qing had understood everything, including some of the minor details.
"Zhao Feng, if you want to stay in the Sacred Land, you first need an identity."
Duanmu Qing's eyes were filled with warmth and love, and Zhao Feng's face changed.
It was obvious that Emperor Duanmu was going to get Zhao Feng an identity. This was a dream for someone that wanted to enter the Sacred Lands, and even for those in a three-star force, and yet it could be accomplished by Duanmu Qing in just one sentence.
What kind of identity would Duanmu Qing give him? Zhao Feng started to guess.
"How about this? I'll take you in as my personal disciple. That will help you in the Mystic True Sacred Clan."
Duanmu Qing smiled and said.
Personal disciple!
Zhao Feng's eyes bulged. He didn't expect that at all.
Becoming a Personal disciple of an Emperor would be a turning point in life that would completely affect his destiny.
"What… are you not willing?"
Duanmu Qing smiled.
"This disciple is willing."
Zhao Feng bowed down.
He now had two masters since the beginning of his cultivation that had changed his fate.
"Hehe. Zhao Feng, I'm taking you in as my disciple not just because of Aunt Purple Night, but also because I am confident in my eyes."
Duanmu Qing smiled. His eyes were filled with wisdom. How could an Emperor such as him not see Zhao Feng's body, bloodline, and potential?
Simply put, Zhao Feng had the qualifications to become his Personal disciple on his own merits.
If it were just a normal genius who had a relationship with the Purple Night Sacred Lord, Duanmu Qing would take them in, but only as an in-name disciple.
"Zhao Feng, you can stay here for now. I'll hold a disciple ceremony in a couple days."
Duanmu Qing said.
Disciple ceremony?
Zhao Feng paused. An Emperor's disciple ceremony would be rather awesome, but that didn't seem to be how Duanmu Qing usually acted. The feeling that Duanmu Qing gave him was that he was low-key and peaceful, not a showoff.
"I'll be going to the Tianlu Islands Zone soon, and you need an identity that the public knows before then."
Duanmu Qing explained.
Hearing that, Zhao Feng understood. The reason why Duanmu Qing was going to hold a ceremony was to allow Zhao Feng to integrate into the Mystic True Sacred Clan faster and give him some protection. If everyone knew that Zhao Feng was Emperor Duanmu Qing's disciple, they would be wary of him.
Three days later, Duanmu Qing held a disciple ceremony in his palace.
The disciple ceremony wasn't publicized; it was limited to the upper echelon of every force, as well as some Core disciples. However, the number of Kings and Emperors in attendance wasn't small.
There were countless Sovereign Lords and half-step Void God Realms.
On the ceremony stage, Zhao Feng bowed toward Duanmu Qing. This ceremony shook the Mystic True Sacred Clan, and news spread throughout the two main Spiritual Peaks and the thirty-three two-star sects.
Zhao Feng also saw the Kings from the Golden Mountain Sect at the ceremony.
The blue-robed King was extremely warm toward Zhao Feng, as if the latter was his ancestor.
"Congratulations, Little Friend Zhao."
Old Li was full of smiles.
Zhao Feng talked with Old Li alone for a while and told him to send the news to the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord. The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord helped a lot in allowing him to enter the Sacred Land.
"I definitely will."
Old Li nodded his head. He knew how terrifying Zhao Feng's true strength was, and now he would soar even higher with Emperor Duanmu Qing's guidance.
Zhao Feng also met a few other Core disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan at the ceremony.
The Core disciples of the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan were mainly the disciples of Emperors.
The Mystic True Sacred Clan had at least seven or eight Emperors, and Duanmu Qing had a rather high status amongst them.
"It's him…!!?"
Two Core disciples stared at Zhao Feng with bulging eyes and open mouths. These two were a short-haired youth and a tall, skinny youth.
"Junior Martial Brother Jiang, what's up? Do you know this Zhao Feng?"
Another Core disciple asked in surprise.
The short-haired youth and the skinny male looked at each other with shock.
These two were the two that had appeared at the Void Ocean Arena – Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin.
"Hmm?"
As if sensing something, Zhao Feng looked over at the two.
Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin, these two disciples of the Sacred Land, had given Zhao Feng a deep impression. This was especially so for Jiang Fan, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and revealed terrifying strength in the arena.
At that time, Zhao Feng was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm and probably couldn't even block one blow from Jiang Fan.
However, at this moment, the ones that were surprised were Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin.
"It's only been a year and his cultivation has already caught up to mine, and now he has an Emperor for a master…."
Jiang Fan's heart shook. He couldn't accept this.
He spent an entire year of hard work to break through to the middle-stage of the Origin Core Realm. In terms of status, he was a Core disciple of a three-star force in the Sacred Land, and now Zhao Feng was on the same level as him with just a single ceremony.
"Senior Martial Brothers."
Zhao Feng smiled as he walked over and greeted Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin.
Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin's smiles were slightly forced as they greeted Zhao Feng in return.
Although Zhao Feng's current status was on par with theirs, they had looked down on Zhao Feng one year ago and thought that they wouldn't have any communications ever again. Therefore, when Zhao Feng had asked the two of them for help, they declined.
"Hehe, Emperor Gu Luo, it seems as if your disciple with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races seems to know Zhao Feng."
Emperor Duanmu Qing smiled as he talked with another Elder. This Elder was Emperor Gu Luo, Jiang Fan's master.
"This Zhao Feng's bloodline seems to be on par with a normal Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. What's more strange though is that even I can't see through his eye-bloodline."
Emperor Gu Luo praised.
Normal people were too far away from Emperors, but every Emperor present went to congratulate Emperor Duanmu Qing when they saw Zhao Feng.
"Jiang Fan, that Zhao Feng's bloodline and potential aren't any weaker than yours. You need to talk and interact with him more in the future."
Emperor Gu Luo's Divine Sense sounded in Jiang Fan's head.
"This disciple understands."
Jiang Fan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Firstly, Emperor Duanmu Qing's strength and status were slightly higher than even his Master's.
Secondly, in his master's eyes, Zhao Feng's potential wasn't lower than his own.
Jiang Fan didn't doubt any of the above, especially the second point. Who knew what kind of fortune Zhao Feng had received for him to catch up in just one years' time?

Chapter 631 - Replacing
At the disciple ceremony, Duanmu Qing retracted his gaze and started to communicate with the other Emperors present.
"Elders, I have something to discuss with all of you."
Duanmu Qing suddenly spoke. The Emperors exchanged glances, and some of them revealed thoughtful expressions.
"Emperor Duanmu, is this related to the Demigod Forgotten Garden?"
Emperor Gu Luo smiled.
"That's right."
Duanmu Qing nodded his head, "The list of people going to the Demigod Forgotten Garden has already been decided and, usually, the spots wouldn't change."
Hearing up to there, the other Emperors already understood what Duanmu Qing was trying to say.
He wanted to get his disciple a spot to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
If it were in the past, when the list still hadn't been decided yet, it wouldn't have been hard for Duanmu Qing to get a spot due to his status and strength. The problem was that the list was already confirmed.
"The Demigod Forgotten Garden is split into the nominated and the open-competition sections. It's hard to change the list of people from the open-competition section, so we can only switch the nominated section."
Emperor Gu Luo said deeply.
The True Martial Sacred Clan had a total of fifty spots for the Demigod Forgotten Garden. This was ten times more than the Golden Mountain Sect, a peak two-star force.
However, being a three-star superpower, the Mystic True Sacred Clan's geniuses were as bright as stars, and there were even prodigies with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.
There were dozens of Emperors and Kings present, and every King and Emperor each had at least a couple disciples. Therefore, the competition for the fifty spots was extremely fierce.
"There's ten nominated spots. How about this…"
Emperor Gu Luo soon had an idea, and the Emperors interacted with their Divine Senses before they soon came to a conclusion.
"Looks like that's the only way."
Emperor Duanmu Qing sighed.
Nominated geniuses all had strong backgrounds, so trying to switch someone in or out would definitely offend someone.
However, the Demigod Forgotten Garden only appeared once every five hundred years, and Emperor Duanmu Qing had finally obtained a disciple, who was also related to his Aunt. He would definitely provide as much help as he possibly could to his new disciple.
As time passed, the disciple ceremony was starting to come to an end.
Zhao Feng met many Core disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.
"Head disciple Nan Gongsheng didn't come."
"Nan Gongsheng's been cultivating a secret technique in the Sacred Land for the past half-year, and he already reached the half-step Void God Realm long ago."
Some of the Core disciples discussed.
Nan Gongsheng was the number one genius of the Mystic True Sacred Clan. He was also one of the top geniuses amongst the entire Sacred Land.
When talking about Nan Gongsheng, even Jiang Fan, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, revealed respect.
"If my cultivation reaches the Great Origin Core Realm, I'll be able to fight even someone at the half-step Void God Realm."
Jiang Fan clenched his fists.
His talent and bloodline potential were amongst the best within the Mystic True Sacred Clan, but he was only in his twenties at the moment; he wasn't able to catch up to those other geniuses that were already in their thirties.
"Brother Jiang, don't be angry. There's only two geniuses in the entire Sacred Land with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. In the future, your true opponent will be Meng Xi from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan."
Chen Yilin patted his shoulder.
In reality, with his Ten Thousand Ancient Races Bloodline, Jiang Fan's strength had already surpassed some Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords.
"There's still three months left till the Demigod Forgotten Garden. I will charge into the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses like Brother Chen."
Battle-intent glowed in Jiang Fan's eyes, and his bloodline seemed to burn. His fighting will had been ignited during this disciple ceremony, all because of the pressure from Zhao Feng.
The change in Jiang Fan didn't escape Emperor Gu Luo's eyes, and he secretly nodded his head. In the past, Jiang Fan was extremely arrogant due to his Ten Thousand Ancient Races Bloodline, so he didn't put in too much effort into his cultivation.
"Fan'er, I will teach you myself for the next three months."
Emperor Gu Luo's Divine Senses sounded in his head.
"Thank you, Master."
Jiang Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart. His goal was to become one of the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses. Only with more strength would he be able to come out on top in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
Emperor Gu Luo's eyes scanned over Emperor Duanmu, and he thought that the latter's disciple also had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. There was no way he would lose to Emperor Duanmu and his disciple.
Half a day later, the disciple ceremony came to an end. From now on, Zhao Feng was Duanmu Qing's official disciple and a member of a three-star superpower.
Zhao Feng understood Duanmu Qing's intentions.
"Zhao Feng, if everything goes to plan, you will receive a spot to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden, but at the same time, you need to be ready to be challenged."
Duanmu Qing said before he left.
Demigod Forgotten Garden?
Zhao Feng shook. He was overfilled with surprise and joy.
He had talked to some Core disciples during the disciple ceremony and found that those entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden had already been confirmed. He didn't expect Duanmu Qing to help him get a nominated spot.
"Thank you, Master."
Zhao Feng's heart was filled with gratitude. Duanmu Qing would have had to pay a price to obtain this spot because there was more than just one or two Emperors in a three-star superpower. The number of Kings alone had reached dozens.
Furthermore, above Emperors were Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.
After returning to where he was staying, Zhao Feng sat down and tried to calm himself down.
After meeting Duanmu Qing, his status, identity, and his entire life had been flipped.
Zhao Feng's eyes looked toward the garden outside, and the moonlight filled the garden with a silver glow.
He didn't know why, but his thoughts suddenly drifted toward the Azure Flower Continent.
In his mind, the image of a quiet, elegant goddess appeared.
"True Martial Sacred Land… Demigod Forgotten Garden… I need to grasp this chance."
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and started to cultivate.
Now that he had arrived in the True Martial Sacred Land, he had already completed half of his journey.
In the morning of the second day:
"Zhao Feng, get the fuck out here! Let's see who dares to take my spot after entering the Sacred Clan."
A voice full of hatred sounded from outside.
Many experts and geniuses from the Mystic True Sacred Land were standing outside.
The owner of the voice was a youth who had angry eyes, and his expression was twisted.
"Brother Zuo Hong, your nominated spot was taken by that Zhao Feng?"
The disciples outside were extremely sympathetic.
In terms of background, Zuo Hong's master was an old Void God Realm King who had real power. In terms of cultivation, he had reached the late stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, and he wasn't even thirty years old yet.
As the chattering sounded outside, a blue-haired youth walked out.
"Zhao Feng, you've finally come out."
Many disciples had angry expressions.
"It's utterly shameless how you used your identity as a disciple of an Emperor to steal a spot."
Many people were sympathetic toward the "victim." After all, the spot had already belonged to Zuo Hong.
"I don't dare to disobey the orders of the upper echelon, but I want to see if Brother Zhao has the ability and qualifications to replace me."
Zuo Hong snickered coldly.
His master had told him to do this.
Not many people were on the same level as Emperor Duanmu in the Clan, and the Emperor Projection that day increased Duanmu Qing's fame even further.
However, although they couldn't disobey him on the surface, they could use other tricks.
If Zuo Hong defeated Zhao Feng, then it would be hard for the disciple of Emperor Duanmu to take his spot "righteously." After all, even in three-star superpowers, strength was everything; three-star superpowers wouldn't waste a spot on someone useless.
All he needed to do was defeat Zhao Feng.
At the same time, Zuo Hong's master could also ask other Emperors for help. If it came to the worst, things could be reported to the Grand Elder.
The plan was complete. Zuo Hong only needed to do one thing; challenge Zhao Feng. That was the first step.
"Okay, I accept your challenge."
Zhao Feng didn't hesitate at all.
Yesterday, Emperor Duanmu Qing already warned him. Those that were able to become Emperors were all extremely wise.
A while later, hundreds of people had gathered outside an ancient arena stage within the Mystic True Sacred Clan.
There were many Core disciples present.
"Brother Chen and Brother Nan are both here…."
Many Core disciples in the crowd glanced at two figures.
Chen Yilin and Brother Nan were expressionless as they looked at the two figures on the stage. Their cultivations had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.
"Brother Chen and Brother Nan are both within the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses."
"Apparently, they've challenged half-step Void God Realms before."
The eyes of the crowd were filled with respect.
At this point, on the stage, Zhao Feng and Zuo Hong were floating above a mountain.
The stage of the Mystic True Sacred Clan was extremely profound; it had a small dimension within it that could replicate different sceneries, such as mountains, streams, and rivers.
People were looking forward to this battle.
There were more than a dozen Void God Realm Divine Senses in the air. There were even Emperor Divine Senses.
"Hmph, everything's ready. As long as Zuo Hong wins, I will ask the Grand Elder to put this right."
A Void God Realm King Divine Sense looked down with coldness.
"Brother Zuo Hong, just fighting isn't interesting."
Zhao Feng said.
"What do you mean?"
Zuo Hong paused slightly.
"Let's have a bet. If you win, I'll just directly give the spot to you."
Zhao Feng spoke.
"You really mean that? You'll give the spot to me?"
Zuo Hong was overjoyed. He didn't think it would be this easy.
"As long as you can last more than ten moves, victory is yours. But… what will you do if you lose?"
Zhao Feng asked slowly.
Ten moves?
Zuo Hong paused, and the entire crowd broke out into discussion.
"Hahaha, ten moves? Brat, you're too cocky. It seems like you don't know the strength of a Core disciple of a three-star superpower. We all have the strength to challenge those with higher cultivation."
Hearing this, Zuo Hong was filled with happiness.
Although he was only at the late stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, he had defeated Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords in the outside world.

Chapter 632 - Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses
On top of the battle stage in the Sacred Land, all the disciples and experts of the clan watched with surprised expressions.
"Ten moves? Zhao Feng still dares to be so arrogant?"
"This brat just became a Core disciple of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, and Zuo Hong's cultivation is higher than his."
Not many out of the couple hundred spectators thought well of Zhao Feng. After all, Zuo Hong was an old Core disciple who seemed to surpass Zhao Feng in every aspect.
Furthermore, that brat Zhao Feng arrogantly proposed a ten-move bet.
"What, you scared?"
Zhao Feng smiled.
The reason he came up with a ten-move bet was to prove that he had the strength and potential to replace someone.
If he won such a bet, no one would mock him or disdain his master's – Duanmu Qing's – name.
"Why would I be scared? If I lose, I will apologize to you and retreat whenever I see you."
Zuo Hong laughed. He seemed to have already obtained victory.
His heart was overfilled with joy as he looked at Zhao Feng like he was looking at a retard.
"Hong'er… don't underestimate Zhao Feng. That brat's mental energy and bloodline aura are both not simple. He must have something to rely on to be so confident."
The Divine Sense of a King sounded in Zuo Hong's mind. The owner of the voice belonged to Zuo Hong's Master.
"This disciple understands."
Zuo Hong's heart jumped, and he took back his underestimation. After all, his master was a Void God Realm King, so he had a greater grasp of the opponent's strength.
"Start."
A half-step Void God Realm acted as the judge.
"No matter who Zhao Feng is, I should be able to last ten moves."
Zuo Hong's figure flashed as he used a technique of the Sacred Land.
Flying Cloud Albatross Leap!
In the next instant, a large condensed figure of a green-and-silver albatross formed in the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zuo Hong's body seemed to merge into the green-and-silver albatross, and sharp feathers one after another swept toward Zhao Feng.
"What a profound skill."
Zhao Feng felt his skin start to tingle in pain. It would be hard for him to catch sight of Zuo Hong if he didn't use his eye-bloodline.
"Purple Wind Lightning Ring!"
Zhao Feng lightly exclaimed as he circulated his Purple Destruction Wind Lightning against the sharp figures that blotted out the sky.
Bam! Bam!
Zhao Feng was covered in an eye-catching current of purple-colored lightning as beams of Destruction swept out.
Rings of purple lightning expanded as they clashed against the figure of the albatross.
The aura of Destruction raged chaotically as the two powers hit each other.
Crack!
A crack soon appeared on the figure of the green-and-silver albatross.
The victor of the clash was immediately decided.
"Purple Destruction Wind Lightning? It's the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor…."
The Void God Realm Divine Senses in the air were slightly surprised.
There were many experts in the True Martial Sacred Land, and they soon recognized the history of Zhao Feng's skills.
"Wind Lightning Emperor? He used to reign supreme with his speed. He was a legendary existence even amongst Emperors."
"The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect in the Sacred Land also has the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor, but they don't have the essence of it…."
A few King Divine Senses started to discuss.
"Wind Lightning Emperor?"
The Divine Sense of an Emperor swept across with a sigh.
There were many ancient Emperors here in the Sacred Land that may have known the Wind Lightning Emperor personally.
Back then, the Wind Lightning Emperor had once cultivated in the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect. At this moment, the Purple Destruction techniques of the Wind Lightning Emperor were suppressing the techniques of another force of the Sacred Land.
"A brat from the outside world actually has the inheritance of a legendary Emperor?"
Zuo Hong gritted his teeth in the air.
Flying Albatross Sweeping Shadow!
Zuo Hong suddenly circulated his bloodline power, and the figure of the albatross in the air started to condense even firmer as wind and lightning flashed around it.
Shua!
In the next instant, the image of an albatross swept across the air.
The spectators seemed to see a divine bird radiating an old intent screech as it flashed through the clouds.
Hmm?
Zhao Feng felt a pressure bear down upon him, and his blood flow started to slow down.
He didn't expect Zuo Hong's bloodline technique to be so unique. His peak battle-power was comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.
"Wind Lightning Hundred Figures!"
Zhao Feng roared as waves of shining purple lightning and wind glowed around him.
Shua! Shua! Shua~~~~~
In that moment, a ball of purple-colored Wind Lightning split into two. The two balls then split into four.
Two… four… eight… sixteen.
In just a moment, a couple dozen purple lightning doppelgangers had formed and were spread out amongst a one-mile radius.
Shu~~~~~
The flying albatross instantly shattered a few doppelgangers, but no one knew where Zhao Feng's true body was at.
It was hard to distinguish which body was the real Zhao Feng, and each doppelganger had attacking abilities.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The doppelgangers charged one after another toward the flying albatross Zuo Hong had turned to.
Zuo Hong became filled with anger as wind and lightning erupted across his body.
Most of the geniuses watching were stunned.
"Blade of Purple Destruction!"
A thin, dark purple blade suddenly formed on one of the doppelganger's hands, and it radiated an aura of Destruction as it glimmered with lightning.
Crack!
The blade of Wind Lightning was extremely eye-catching, and it suddenly expanded to more than a dozen yards long as it released an aura of Destruction and sliced the figure of the albatross in two.
Siiii!
Zuo Hong in his albatross form groaned.
Shu~~
A scorched, dark red mark could be seen on his body, and the power of Destruction had entered his body.
Even with his powerful bloodline, the injury couldn't be healed very quickly. Destruction was the antithesis of healing, which made recovering from the aura of Destruction very difficult.
"Not good! This Zhao Feng's attack, speed, and skill all surpass Hong'er…."
The Divine Sense of a King exclaimed.
Zhao Feng's Blade of Purple Destruction had broken through Zuo Hong's bloodline skill and caused an injury.
However, Zhao Feng's attack didn't end there.
"Wings of Wind and Lightning!"
Wings of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning dozens of yards long started to extend across Zhao Feng's back, making him seem like an ancient demon surrounded by wind and lightning.
Boom!
A terrifying surge of wind and lightning appeared on the stage and created a storm of Destruction.
"Break!"
Zhao Feng's speed, attack, and intent had reached an entirely new level.
With each palm, he seemed to create dragons of Destruction that howled in the storm.
"So strong!"
The spectators watching the blue-haired youth felt their hearts shake.
"No~~~~~!"
Zuo Hong gave it his all and circulated his bloodline power to the maximum, but his figure started to fade in front of the unparalleled dragon of Destruction, and he flew out of the stage.
Plop!
Zuo Hong's body was entirely black when he landed. He wanted to move, but he was completely numb, and his lifeforce had been injured.
"Brother Zuo!"
A few Core disciples ran over and helped Zuo Hong.
"Thank you."
Zhao Feng walked out of the stage amongst wary and fearful gazes.
"It was indeed accomplished within ten moves…."
The half-step King judge looked at Zhao Feng weirdly.
At the last moment, with the addition of the Wings of Wind and Lightning, Zhao Feng's battle-power was enough to threaten even those at the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm or above.
Such battle-power was enough to stand out amongst most geniuses in the Sacred Land.
"His strength is okay."
Brother Nan said emotionlessly from the crowd.
For someone like him – one of the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses – that level of battle-power didn't surprise him.
One had to know that many of the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses could challenge normal half-step Kings.
On the other hand, Chen Yilin was full of surprise.
He was also one of the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses, but he had seen Zhao Feng one year ago. Back then, Zhao Feng was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm. At that time, he probably couldn't have even blocked one blow from Jiang Fan.
"Luckily, Jiang Fan isn't here. The strength that Zhao Feng just displayed was already on par with Brother Jiang."
Chen Yilin murmured.
After the disciple ceremony, Jiang Fan had followed his master, Emperor Gu Luo, and gone to cultivate.
Right at this moment:
"Zhao Feng, your performance wasn't bad. Come to me."
Emperor Duanmu's voice sounded.
It was obvious that he also watched the fight.
The other Kings couldn't help but sigh. Emperor Duanmu had just taken in a new disciple, and he was already so strong.
A while later:
"Master, is there something you need to tell me?"
Zhao Feng arrived at Duanmu Qing's palace.
"Zhao Feng, your strength can be ranked within the top five or six Core disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, but there is still a difference between the Top Ten Geniuses of the Sacred Land. It's still not enough to reap a lot of benefits from the Demigod Forgotten Garden…."
Duanmu Qing said.
Zhao Feng didn't disagree. He already had to use 60-70% of his Purple Destruction Wind Lightning intent just now.
If the disciples of the Sacred Land at the Small Origin Core Realm already had such strength, then those at the Great Origin Core Realm would be immeasurable.
"I have three things for you before I leave. They might be of help to you."
A wooden box appeared in Duanmu Qing's hand.
Zhao Feng took the box and opened it. Within, there were two books and a small jade bottle.
There was some kind of crystal the size of a thumb within the jade bottle. It was round and as transparent and perfect as diamond. The pressure radiating from it made even Zhao Feng feel suppressed.
"This is a Crystal Core Pill, which helps those at the peak Small Origin Core Realm break through to the Great Origin Core Realm. Your cultivation isn't enough to use it yet, but I found that the Core Center within your body is already showing signs of turning into crystal, so using this now might have some good effects."
Duanmu Qing smiled and said.
"Crystal Core Pill?"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but become excited. He had heard of this pill's value; it was extremely rare even in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces.
His eyes then landed on the two books.
There were a few words on the first book: Dark Eye Secret Manual
"Hmm?"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but be surprised. What was the connection between this and the Dark Eye Incomplete Page?
"Hehe, this Dark Eye Secret Manual was something I got in an exchange with the Emperor of Death a long time ago, and it contains many of his techniques…."

Chapter 633 - Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique
"Hehe, this Dark Eye Secret Manual was something I got in an exchange with the Emperor of Death a long time ago, and it contains many of his techniques…."
When Zhao Feng heard that, he was filled with disbelief.
Duanmu Qing had the Emperor of Death's secret technique? It sounded incredible.
Of course, Void God Realm Emperors had their own circles, and it wasn't surprising for them to trade items with each other.
The Emperor of Death and Duanmu Qing were both ancient Emperors whose strengths were close to each other.
"That was a very long time ago, and I paid a price for it. However, the Dark Eye Secret Manual isn't of much use to me; I only wanted this technique due to my curiosity toward the Eye of Death."
Duanmu Qing sighed.
The lifespan of an Emperor was extremely long; they could live up to dozens of thousands of years. With such long lives, Emperors would touch upon multiple fields at the same time just to gain that little bit of insight.
"Master, what's the relationship between the Dark Eye Sacred Manual and the Death Dark Eye?"
Zhao Feng remembered the Dark Eye Incomplete Page. Because it was incomplete, Zhao Feng never really cultivated it aside from consulting some of its theories.
Apparently, the Dark Eye Incomplete Page had nine pages in total, and when all nine were combined, one could cultivate the ultimate Death Dark Eye.
"Out of the entire Cang Ocean, probably only the Emperor of Death can cultivate the Death Dark Eye. The Dark Eye Secret Manual is an incomplete part of the Death Dark Eye, and it doesn't have many true offensive skills. However, it has a lot of theories about souls and Death…."
Duanmu Qing answered.
Hearing that, Zhao Feng let out a breath. The Emperor of Death obviously wouldn't give the secret of the Death Dark Eye away.
"However, the Dark Eye Secret Technique contains many skills of the Emperor of Death, and it contains more than just information about the Death Dark Eye."
Duanmu Qing looked at Zhao Feng solemnly.
Zhao Feng was full of gratitude. He knew what Duanmu Qing was doing.
Facing the Pursuit of Death, Zhao Feng would eventually meet with the Emperor of Death.
The reason Duanmu Qing gave the Dark Eye Secret Manual to Zhao Feng was to let him understand the Emperor of Death's skills and find a method to counter them.
Zhao Feng silently took the Dark Eye Secret Manual.
His gaze then landed on the other book.
This book was at the bottom of the box. From that, one could see that its value probably wasn't lower than the Dark Eye Secret Manual.
"Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique?"
Zhao Feng picked it up.
Looking at this book, reminiscence seemed to appear on Duanmu Qing's face.
"This is my Duanmu Family's secret technique. It's a supreme soul technique. The skill has reached Heaven-Grade, but it's slightly incomplete."
Duanmu Qing's voice was low and raspy.
Zhao Feng seemed to realize something. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Duanmu Family seemed to touch the bottom of Duanmu Qing's heart.
My God's Spiritual Eye definitely specializes in cultivating the soul.
Zhao Feng was very confident. He instinctively merged his Spiritual Sense into the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.
Weng~
A mysterious source of mental energy led Zhao Feng into a separate world. All the contents of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique were recorded in this mental energy world.
"This technique helps one's soul evolve and breakthrough to the Void God Realm. When mastered, one thought can turn into ten thousand."
Duanmu Qing's voice sounded in his ear, but Zhao Feng's consciousness had already entered the world of mental energy and was starting to learn the knowledge.
Hearing Duanmu Qing's introduction, Zhao Feng couldn't help but be surprised.
Firstly, the complete Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique had reached Heaven-Grade.
Techniques were split into Mortal-, Spiritual-, Earth-, and Heaven-Grade.
Amongst them, Spiritual-Grade was already rare in the Azure Flower Continent, while Heaven-Grade was the highest grade in the world.
Secondly, the skill increased one's chances of breaking through to the Void God Realm.
"Many other Emperors wanted this skill, but I didn't agree to exchange with them. Even I haven't cultivated it to the highest 'One Thought into Ten Thousand' level. Maybe it's because I'm not very talented when it comes to the soul…."
Duanmu Qing had a complex expression. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique had a unique place in his heart.
"Master, why are you giving me the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique?"
Zhao Feng asked carefully.
Duanmu Qing didn't hide the reason.
"There's two reasons. Firstly, your eye-bloodline is related to the soul, and even I can't see through it. Maybe you can surpass me in mastering the technique.
"Secondly, intent from the Eye of Death hides in your soul. I don't specialize in the soul, and the intent of an Emperor is too strong. If I enter your soul to remove the intent, I might cause unthinkable problems."
Zhao Feng wasn't surprised by the first reason.
Even First Elder from the Broken Moon Clan saw that Zhao Feng was talented in mental energy. Emperor Duanmu Qing probably understood it even better.
It was the second reason that surprised Zhao Feng and filled him with happiness, "Master, do you mean that the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique can help dissolve the intent left by the Emperor of Death in my soul?"
"That's right."
Duanmu Qing spoke in a solemn tone, "I can help you for limited time, but not your entire life. In the end, you'll need to face the Emperor of Death by yourself."
Zhao Feng admired Duanmu Qing's wisdom.
Instead of giving people fish, it was better to teach them how to fish.
Giving the Dark Eye Secret Manual and the Duanmu Family's Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to Zhao Feng, Duanmu Qing wanted him to face the Pursuit of Death by himself.
Zhao Feng took the wooden box carefully before bowing to Duanmu Qing then leaving.
Although he only just entered the Sacred Land a couple days ago, Duanmu Qing didn't treat Zhao Feng as if they had just met.
Zhao Feng silently remembered this with gratitude.
After returning to the place he was staying, Zhao Feng immediately took out the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to cultivate it.
His consciousness soon entered the world of mental energy and started to absorb the knowledge hungrily.
An hour later, Zhao Feng had started to understand the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.
The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique wasn't just a simple technique that cultivated the soul. It also included secret skills and how to use the power of the soul.
The Dao of the Soul had always been a forbidden area of cultivation.
Only those at the Void God Realm, whose souls had evolved, had the ability to truly use the power of the soul. However, they had only just stepped past the door.
The soul was too mysterious and dangerous. It was hard to learn its origin.
"The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique's specialty is to turn one thought into two, then one into a hundred, then one into a thousand… and increase the efficiency of using the power of the soul."
Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh.
It was hard for normal people to do multiple things at once, but the thoughts of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique were more unique.
Each of these thoughts were individualized and could do their own things. They didn't really affect each other.
Of course, the speed of these thoughts would be much slower.
For example, if one reached the 'One Thought into Two' level, then Zhao Feng's mind would become two individuals. One could cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique while the other could cultivate the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor.
This splitting of the mind had exceeded mere multi-tasking.
Of course, that was just the theory behind the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique; it was much more difficult to actually accomplish it.
"Let's try."
Zhao Feng was somewhat excited as he started to cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.
Currently, he had no Divine Sense. He only had Spiritual Sense.
One had to be at least at the half-step Void God Realm to have Divine Sense. However, Spiritual Sense and Divine Sense operated under the same principles.
While he was cultivating, Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye unknowingly became involved since it was the core of his soul-power.
Half a day later:
"Hmm? It doesn't seem to be too hard…."
Zhao Feng's Spiritual Sense easily split into two.
Thinking back to the past, Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye could easily control an army of beasts and order them around as he wished.
Normal beast tamers usually controlled an army of beasts by controlling the beast leader and ordering it to order the other beasts around. On the other hand, there were some unique eye-bloodlines that had the ability to control a beast army by themselves, such as Zhao Feng's.
"One Thought into Ten."
Zhao Feng's Spiritual Sense easily split into ten on the second day.
Shua! Shua!
Zhao Feng's thought-power appeared as he circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.
In the next instant, three birds from different directions were restricted by the power of his thoughts.
With just a thought, Zhao Feng then made several wooden barrels float in the air.
"This is the power of mental energy thoughts."
Zhao Feng felt extremely satisfied.
His God's Spiritual Eye was a treasure, and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was a key to open it.
In just a short span of two days, Zhao Feng's Spiritual Sense had already split into ten.
In theory, each of these thoughts could control an army of beasts. All of them could unleash mental energy attacks or use their Spiritual Sense.
"As expected of a Heaven-Grade soul technique; it's heaven-defying."
Zhao Feng was full of praise.
He didn't know how terrifying his current cultivation speed was.
Back then, Duanmu Qing used ten years to achieve the One Thought into Ten state. Zhao Feng felt as if he was merely progressing as expected.
The talent of his God's Spiritual Eye in terms of the soul was heaven-defying, and it was currently like a fish in water as he cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.
On this day, Zhao Feng decided to get ready to learn the Dark Eye Secret Manual.
"Zhao Feng, I will be leaving the Sacred Land soon and heading toward the Tianlu Islands. Don't leave the Sacred Land in this period of time. If you need anything, you can tell me right now."

Chapter 634 - Soul Eye Bloodline Techniques
Zhao Feng knew that Duanmu Qing going to the Purple Saint Ruins was great news for Zhao Yufei.
After thinking for a while, he realized that, after entering the Sacred Land, all he needed to do was cultivate quietly. There were no other requirements.
The only other thing was to take care of the people on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, but he didn't need an Emperor just for that.
"How long will Master be gone for?"
Zhao Feng asked.
"At least a month or two, at most half a year. It won't be hard to stop the problems that the Purple Saint Ruins is facing, but it'll be hard to recover the dimension itself. Time is also needed for the inheritance to become complete."
Duanmu Qing answered.
Before he left, Duanmu Qing sent a stream of information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden into Zhao Feng's mind.
Although the Demigod Forgotten Garden only opened once every five hundred years, the Sacred Land's history was extremely long.
The two three-star clans and the many two-star sects had scouted it quite a bit over the course of history, so they knew most of the situation within.
"The requirement for entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden is to be below 50 years old. There are many restrictions in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and the dimension is different from the outside world…."
Zhao Feng summarized.
There was still about two or three months till the Demigod Forgotten Garden opened.
Currently, Zhao Feng decided to focus on cultivation, so he didn't have much time to read the information in detail.
"I should first take care of everyone aboard the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship."
Zhao Feng got up and walked out.
Being a Core disciple of a three-star Clan, Zhao Feng could easily walk around the Sacred Land with his status.
However, he was still extremely careful because the aura of Death in the bottom of his soul was still extremely close.
Many of the four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards were in the True Martial Sacred Land.
After walking out, Zhao Feng took out his Core Disciple Token and sent a message to the Golden Mountain Sect.
An hour later, Old Li from the Golden Mountain Sect received a letter.
A wisp of mental energy with Zhao Feng's voice sounded as the letter was opened, "Old Li, there's something I need your help with…."
Old Li was stunned. Someone below the Void God Realm could imbue their mental energy into a letter? Furthermore, the voice sounded instantaneously.
Due to the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, Zhao Feng's mental energy thoughts could be split into many.
If his mental energy was attached to a letter and sent far away, he could still connect it with his soul. This was just a basic method of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.
Through the letter, Zhao Feng and Old Li didn't need any other methods of communication.
"Little Friend Zhao, you don't need to worry. I will report this to the upper echelon of the sect and give your friends some positions. That isn't much of a problem."
Old Li said.
On that very day, the blue-robed King went to get everyone aboard the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.
On the second day, Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and company aboard the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship became outer members of the Golden Mountain Sect.
Zhao Feng finally felt relaxed.
The True Martial Sacred Land wasn't his final stop, and he still needed a ship after going to the Floating Dream Sacred Land.
After taking care of those aboard the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, Zhao Feng entered seclusion.
He had three current paths he was taking.
One was the Wind Lightning Emperor's inheritance.
He had almost completely mastered the purple color level, so he could try to cultivate the scarlet-colored Wind Lightning soon.
The second was the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.
The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was even greater than the Wind Lightning Emperor's inheritance, and it could even help dissolve the intent of Death within his soul.
The third path was the Death Dark Eye.
Amongst the three, Zhao Feng placed the greatest importance on the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique strengthened Zhao Feng's soul and allowed him to use it more efficiently.
However, after Zhao Feng reached the One Thought into Ten state, the rate of improvement slowed down dramatically.
It was already a miracle Zhao Feng could reach the One Thought into Ten state so quickly. His rate of cultivation had already far surpassed the speed of the experts from the Duanmu Family.
On the second day, Zhao Feng started to look into the Dark Eye Secret Manual.
He was fully lost in it as he absorbed its knowledge.
The Dark Eye Secret Manual contained the theories and techniques of the Emperor of Death and, although it didn't have much information about the Death Dark Eye, there was a lot of information about supporting and controlling eye-bloodline techniques.
"All of these techniques are biased toward Death and the Soul. The Emperor of Death is pretty cunning; he didn't write much about the offensive eye-bloodline techniques or any core information."
Zhao Feng used an entire day and night to scan over the contents.
One had to know that Zhao Feng's mental energy was extremely powerful; he had the ability of memorizing everything he saw. He also had great comprehension and learning ability.
The Dark Eye Secret Manual allowed Zhao Feng to understand more about Death and Soul techniques.
What was more surprising was that the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Dark Eye Secret Manual complemented one another.
The two both regarded how the soul worked, and Zhao Feng had comprehended the Dark Eye Incomplete Page before, so he was able to understand the Dark Eye Secret Manual.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Feng's consciousness was fully absorbed in the Dark Eye Secret Manual as he learnt the theory behind it.
Since many of the skills recorded in the Dark Eye Secret Manual were about the element of Death, Zhao Feng couldn't learn them, but he could learn the basic Soul techniques.
In this half a month, Zhao Feng also invented a couple other eye-bloodline techniques. They were mainly Soul-based, and since they were based on the Dark Eye Secret Manual, these techniques were mainly supporting skills.
"Soul Chains!"
A surge of mental energy eye-bloodline power appeared in Zhao Feng's left eye.
In the next instant, the skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl became unable to move.
Transparent purple-colored lightning chains wrapped around the skeletal Division Leader's body.
In reality, what was actually bound was the skeletal Division Leader's soul. The transparent purple-colored lightning chains existed within the soul-dimension, and they restricted the opponent's soul.
"I only used 50% of my strength and you already can't fight back."
Zhao Feng took back his eye-bloodline power with dissatisfaction.
The skeletal Division Leader struggled for several breaths before finally breaking free.
Apart from the Soul Chains, Zhao Feng had also comprehended more than a dozen Soul-based techniques, some weak and some strong.
"Dark Heart Seal, Mental Energy Spike, Eye of Nightmares, Soul Searching Eye, Demonic Eye…."
Techniques, theories, and intents appeared in Zhao Feng's mind.
Although some of the skills were of the element of Death, Zhao Feng could use them with other elements.
After all, his eye-bloodline powers could change, which gave him a big advantage over other eye-bloodlines.
Amongst the techniques, Zhao Feng understood the Dark Heart Seal extremely well. It was an improvement on the Dark Heart Seed.
In the past, the Dark Heart Seed could merge into the opponent's soul and threaten the opponent's life and even enslave them.
However, the Dark Heart Seed's power was limited; it couldn't control the victim's thoughts.
If they didn't care about their life, then the Dark Heart Seed had no meaning. If the target wanted to counterattack, they could do so at any time, so the risk was high.
"The Dark Heart Seal imprints one's own soul-power into the depths of the opponent's soul and can change their thoughts. Those that are imprinted with the Dark Heart Seal will obey their master from the bottom of their heart."
Zhao Feng knew how terrifying this skill was.
The Dark Heart Seal was basically an enslaving seal. Once imprinted, the victim would obey their master like a true slave.
For example, although the skeletal Division Leader was controlled by Zhao Feng, it still had malicious thoughts, but if it was imprinted with the Dark Heart Seal instead, the skeletal Division leader would obey Zhao Feng until the end.
The Dark Heart Seal could be considered a forbidden enslaving technique.
Of course, the skill had its own limits.
Firstly, the success rate depended on the difference in soul-strength.
Under normal situations, if the target fought back and the skill failed, the target's soul would most likely be destroyed.
Of course, the success rate was related to control. With the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the God's Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng's control was extremely precise.
Zhao Feng even thought that he could maybe control several slaves at once if he split his thoughts.
Apart from the fact that the rate of success wasn't very high, the Dark Heart Seal also used a lot of energy, which also depended on the difference in soul-strength.
"Dark Heart Seal."
A wisp of cold eye-bloodline power radiated from Zhao Feng's body.
Shua!
A True Spirit Realm bird in the air several miles away froze.
A breath or two later:
Whoosh!
The True Spirit Realm bird flew over and landed on Zhao Feng's shoulder respectfully.
"En, its mind has been fully enslaved. Even if I was at the Ascended Realm, it would obey me."
Zhao Feng nodded his head.
This was the tenth time he was testing out the Dark Heart Seal.
Apart from a mistake on the first try, the other nine tries all ended in success.
Zhao Feng's control was extremely precise to begin with, and he had also learnt the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, meaning that his usage of soul-power had reached another level.
Zhao Feng then tried to control nearby beasts using ten different thoughts. Each of the beasts were at least at the Ascended Realm.
A few breaths later, eight of the ten beasts at the Ascended Realm were enslaved by Zhao Feng.
The two failures were due to Zhao Feng multi-tasking.
If Zhao Feng could cultivate the Dark Heart Seal and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to a higher level, the rate of success would become higher.
Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, the skeletal Division Leader saw Zhao Feng's new Soul techniques and became filled with fear. Everything imprinted by the Dark Heart Seal became truly enslaved by Zhao Feng.

Chapter 635 - Breaking Through to the Late Stage Small Origin Core Realm
Zhao Feng didn't use the Dark Heart Seal on the skeletal Division Leader.
The Dark Heart Seal had its advantages and disadvantages.
The main advantage was that the target would fully obey the user, but they would become something similar to robots. Their minds and way of thinking were limited, and they would have limited potential.
Therefore, Zhao Feng didn't use the Dark Heart Seal on the skeletal Division Leader. The latter's cunning was better than a mere doll that knew how to take orders.
Furthermore, the skeletal Division Leader wasn't much of a threat to Zhao Feng anymore at this point anyway.
Besides, the Dark Heart Seed already in its heart could still decide its life or death in just one thought.
After comprehending more than a dozen new skills, Zhao Feng's seclusion still wasn't over.
"There's still two more months left. I need to strengthen and consolidate my cultivation."
Zhao Feng closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
He decided to not touch the Death Dark Eye for a while. He focused on the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and he also tried to comprehend the scarlet-colored Wind Lightning.
At the same time, he would enter the Ancient Dream Realm every couple days.
He could stay there for a long time now, and the amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura he was absorbing was enormous, which was all being infused into his bloodline, soul, and body.
The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique could also be strengthened by the Ancient Dream Realm aura, and Zhao Feng's soul was increasing by leaps and bounds
Half a month later, Zhao Feng's Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique had reached the level where he could split his mind into twenty thoughts. His Spiritual Sense and his soul were becoming stronger by the day.
Unknowingly, Zhao Feng's soul had reached the peak Great Origin Core Realm, only below the half-step Void God Realm.
His improvement could be described as "travelling a thousand miles in one day."
The God's Spiritual Eye was a treasure box hidden in Zhao Feng's soul. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was a key to opening it, and the Ancient Dream Realm aura was a catalyst.
"If things continue at this rate, my soul will be comparable to a half-step King two months later."
Zhao Feng was quite looking forward to it.
The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was indeed worthy of a Heaven-Grade technique that could increase one's chances of breaking through to the Void God Realm.
Even some Emperors wanted the technique, but Duanmu Qing never agreed.
Although Zhao Feng's soul was weaker than those at the half-step Void God Realm, his mastery and usage of soul-power exceeded them. This meant that half-step Void God Realm intents no longer posed a threat to him.
On this day, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm once more.
Zhao Feng slowly walked over the barren lands.
Nowadays, he no longer entered the Ancient Dream Realm purely to absorb the aura; he also wanted to scout the place out.
"I walked four or five steps last time and appeared at that spot."
Zhao Feng paid attention to every detail.
Whenever he entered the Ancient Dream Realm, he would appear at the same spot he left the previous time.
There was a patch of grass ahead.
"I probably need to take a couple thousand steps to reach that patch of grass."
Zhao Feng walked seven or eight steps before standing still for a long time and absorbing a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura.
Before he left, Zhao Feng gazed ahead.
The grass was his first target. Further ahead was a stream.
Right at that moment, Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye saw an ancient bird, around four to five feet long, flying in the air.
"What a terrifying aura!"
Zhao Feng's body and soul felt a powerful Yao aura. The Yao aura emanating from the bird was hundreds, if not thousands of times stronger than its descendants.
As if sensing Zhao Feng, the red eyes of the bird flashed.
Boom!
Zhao Feng's heart shook. He felt as if he was facing a Void God Realm King.
"Retreat!"
Zhao Feng felt a strong sense of danger and quickly left the Ancient Dream Realm.
Inside the room, Zhao Feng's back was drenched in cold sweat.
Just a random bird within the Ancient Dream Realm was so strong.
In that place where he could barely manage to even walk, he had no chance against such a beast.
The scouting this time made Zhao Feng wary. While there may be fortune in the Ancient Dream Realm, accompanying it was also danger. There were obviously strong beings in there.
For the next two months, Zhao Feng stopped his comprehension and focused on his cultivation.
The signs of his Core Center becoming crystal-like were becoming more obvious.
At this moment, Zhao Feng took out the third item from the wooden box – the Crystal Core Pill.
Duanmu Qing had given Zhao Feng three items. Amongst them, the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Dark Eye Secret Technique had given Zhao Feng a lot of supporting techniques, but there was still this pill.
"This is a Crystal Core Pill, which can help those at the peak Small Origin Core Realm break through to the Great Origin Core Realm. Your cultivation isn't enough to use it yet, but I found that the Core Center within your body is showing signs of turning into crystal, so using this now might have some good effects."
What Duanmu Qing said echoed in Zhao Feng's mind.
Normally, only someone at the peak stage Small Origin Core Realm trying to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm would be suitable to use the Crystal Core Pill; those at the middle- and late-stage either wouldn't be able to withstand the power, or they'd end up wasting a large portion of its energy.
However, being an Emperor, Duanmu Qing had good eyes.
Not only did he see that Zhao Feng's state of existence had reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm, he also saw that the Core Center in Zhao Feng's body was already showing signs of turning into crystal. Therefore, Zhao Feng would be able to withstand the pill.
"Crystal Core Pill… let's see its effects."
Zhao Feng gulped down the smooth pill.
The Crystal Core Pill showed no signs of dissolving like other spiritual pills when it entered his body.
Circulating his True Yuan, Zhao Feng absorbed the power of the Crystal Core Pill.
The energy contained within it was extremely pure. It was on par with a Core Center of someone at the Great Origin Core Realm.
Di! Da!
The power of the Crystal Core Pill turned into streams of dominating energy that entered Zhao Feng's Core Center.
The Core Center of a normal Origin Core Realm wouldn't be able to withstand such energy, but Zhao Feng could do so easily since his state of existence and his body had both reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm.
Even some half-step Void God Realms didn't have a state of existence or a body that were as strong as Zhao Feng's. On top of that, part of his Core Center had already turned crystal-like, so he could handle this energy as long as he didn't rush.
As time passed, the Core Center within Zhao Feng's body started to expand and condense. The crystal-like changes were becoming more obvious as well.
Two months passed, and Zhao Feng completely absorbed the energy from the Crystal Core Pill.
During that period of time, he didn't enter the Ancient Dream Realm due to his wariness of the ancient Yao bird.
Luckily, through hard work and the help of the Crystal Core Pill, Zhao Feng's Core Center had almost become fully crystal-like, and it had expanded to the size of a normal late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.
"The strength of my Core Center isn't much different from a Great Origin Core Realm. The only difference is the size."
Zhao Feng inspected quietly.
His cultivation was now at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm. There wouldn't be any bottleneck preventing him from breaking through to the Great Origin Core Realm since his Core Center had already become almost fully crystalline.
All he needed to do now was slowly condense and expand his Core Center into a Crystal Core, then he would reach the Great Origin Core Realm.
"There's still a couple days left till the Demigod Forgotten Garden opens."
Zhao Feng let out a long breath.
In these last couple days, he decided to enter the Ancient Dream Realm and condense his Core Center with the Ancient Dream Realm aura.
After all, he had used a lot of outside help to break through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, so he wanted to stabilize himself with some Ancient Dream Realm aura..
When he entered the Ancient Dream Realm this time, he was extremely careful.
Shua!
Zhao Feng stood on an ancient barren land.
The bird he saw last time didn't appear.
Zhao Feng absorbed a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura and merged it into his Core Center to consolidate his foundation.
At the same time, all the geniuses in the True Martial Sacred Land that were attending the Demigod Forgotten Garden were also preparing themselves.
In the Mystic True Sacred Clan, within Emperor Gu Luo's palace:
"Late-stage Small Origin Core Realm – success!"
Jiang Fan's face became faintly red with victory.
"Not bad. With my help, you managed to absorb all the energy of a Crystal Core Pill."
Emperor Gu Luo praised.
Over the last couple months, Jiang Fan had been working hard, and his strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
"Now that my Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline and my cultivation have both increased, my strength should be enough to challenge the Ten Geniuses of the Sacred Land."
Jiang Fan was full of confidence.
The bloodlines of the legendary Ten Thousand Ancient Races had the ability to fight against people with higher cultivations.
For example, although he was only at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, he could challenge those at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.
"Hmph, that Zhao Feng…"
Jiang Fan felt extremely satisfied. His cultivation speed was insanely quick. That Zhao Feng would be left behind in the dust.
On one of the main Spiritual Peaks, in the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, in a secret underground palace:
"According to our deal, my master – the Scarlet Demon Emperor – has given you a spot, and he paid a big price for it…."
The figure of a scale-covered man could be faintly seen.
If Zhao Feng was present, he would immediately recognize this person as Tu Wanli, the person who had charged over to the Golden Mountain Sect before.
Facing Tu Wanli was a warm youth.
"Many thanks to the Scarlet Demon Emperor. My master, the Emperor of Death, will be exiting seclusion soon, and he will give many rewards."
The warm youth said peacefully.
Tu Wanli's heart gently trembled when he heard that.
Being an ancient Emperor, the Emperor of Death's name was known across all three Spiritual Sacred Lands.
In this world, apart from Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords, no one dared to say that they could suppress the Emperor of Death.
"We're only responsible for giving you a spot. As for killing Zhao Feng, that is not related to us. Hehe, are you not scared of Emperor Duanmu Qing's revenge?"
Tu Wanli laughed.
Although the Emperor of Death was strong, Duanmu Qing was strong as well, and this place was the True Martial Sacred Land.
"As long as he enters the Demigod Forgotten Garden, no one will be able to save Zhao Feng. Coincidentally, Emperor Duanmu has left. This is the perfect chance."
Although the warm youth's smile was the same – bright and sunny – there was a coldness that passed through his soul.
"Zhe zhe, don't get too cocky. Many of the geniuses entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden are personal disciples of Emperors. The strength of that Nan Gongsheng and our clan's Meng Xi are far stronger than normal half-step Void God Realms. Your Death Guards probably won't even be enough to be their appetizer."

Chapter 636 - Opening of the Forgotten Garden
In a forest covered in purple mist on the main Spiritual Peak of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan:
"Xi'er, although you have a legendary bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, it isn't a battle-type bloodline. Your chances of winning against Nan Gongsheng don't exceed 50%."
A voice sounded from a bamboo room.
The inside of the room was dark and had a nice smell to it.
A peerless beauty with eyes like stars stood there. Her hair reached the ground, and she seemed to be a goddess.
"Hmph, although that Nan Gongsheng is the number one genius of the Sacred Land, he's lost a few times against me."
Meng Xi touched her hair and seemed to be slightly unwilling.
In front of her sat a silver-haired figure with an infinitely powerful aura.
One couldn't tell the gender of the figure, and although it seemed to actually be there, it also seemed to be just a ball of air at the same time.
"Hehe, you are my most outstanding disciple. How could I have not prepared anything for the once-every-five-hundred-years Demigod Forgotten Garden?"
The figure slowly opened its hand.
Shua!
A unique, purple unicorn's horn landed on Meng Xi's palm.
"This is…?"
Meng Xi was slightly surprised. The purple unicorn's horn contained a profound aura of mental energy, but it didn't seem to be a weapon.
"With this, you will be almost completely unparalleled in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Even Nan Gongsheng will be wary of you."
The figure smiled faintly.
On the morning of the second day, on a large arena stage on the main Spiritual peak of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, several half-step Void God Realm auras clashed.
Three of them were on the same side: a middle-aged man with a long beard, a cold youth, and a female in a green dress.
On the other side was a sharp youth in mystic clothes with one hand behind his back. His other hand released a silver light that pushed back the three half-step Void God Realms.
There were many spectators watching, including Core disciples, several Kings, and even an Emperor.
"This Nan Gongsheng is facing three half-step Void God Realms with such ease!?"
The Core disciples below watching felt their hearts twitch. He was too monstrous.
Nan Gongsheng was the Head disciple of the Mystic True Sacred Clan. At the same time, he was also the strongest genius in the entire Sacred Land. No one apart from Meng Xi, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, had even lasted more than ten moves against him.
Ta!
Three half-step Void God intents suddenly merged together and crushed toward Nan Gongsheng.
The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi seemed to freeze as forces clashed in the soul-dimension. All thoughts were unable to move.
The three half-step Void God intents had become one, and the Core disciples below didn't dare to breathe.
Even though Nan Gongsheng had reached the half-step Void God Realm, it was hard for him to break through the combined attacks of three half-step Void God intents.
"Break!"
Silver light flashed around Nan Gongsheng as his half-step Void God intent started to rise.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded within the soul-dimension, which then passed into the physical dimension.
In that instant, the arrays around the stage became dim.
"Void God intent!"
Everyone broke out into discussion. Only the Emperor had a calm expression.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The hearts of the three half-step Void God Realms shook. They were sent flying by the Void God intent, and blood dripped from their mouths.
"An intent of a King? Has Nan Gongsheng become a King?"
"No, his cultivation is still at the half-step Void God Realm, but his soul has already formed true Void God Realm King intent."
The spectators broke out into chaos.
In this instant, all the geniuses looked at Nan Gongsheng with respect and admiration.
Forming true Void God intent meant that Nan Gongsheng had no bottleneck.
Boom!
A brand-new Void God intent shot up into the sky and ignited the power of the universe.
In their sight, Nan Gongsheng seemed to become one with heaven.
From now on, his intent had the ability of a King and could easily kill normal Origin Core Realms.
"A new King intent."
"Has someone become a King?"
The Divine Senses of many Void God Realm Kings and Emperors flashed across the air.
However, their hearts shook when they realized that this new King intent came from a junior.
"Nan Gongsheng's only thirty-something years old and has already formed King intent."
"As expected of the number one genius of the Sacred Land who has the peerless Spatial Spirit Body and the peerless Heaven Spirit Body."
Some Kings sighed.
Normal experts needed more than a hundred years or even several hundred years to become a King.
However, Nan Gongsheng was indeed talented.
The cultivation bodies of the world were split into the Mortal, Spiritual, Earth, and Heaven ranks.
Normal cultivators only had Spiritual bodies.
Back in the Guanjun Province, Zhao Feng and company's bodies were only half Spiritual bodies.
Earth ranked bodies were already extremely rare, and this Nan Gongsheng had the highest Heaven ranked body.
On top of that, he had the unique Spatial Spirit Body.
The Spatial Spirit Body meant that his compatibility with Space, Heaven, and Earth was extremely high. This was a body that couldn't be inherited; it was completely random.
Such talent meant that Nan Gongsheng was one of the most talented people in the Sacred Land. Only the two people with Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines could be compared to him.
Inside his garden, Zhao Feng opened his eyes as he felt a new King intent spread across the main Spiritual Peak.
"He is Nan Gongsheng?"
Zhao Feng's mind split into twenty or thirty thoughts that leapt into the air.
Over the last couple days, Zhao Feng had absorbed a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura to consolidate his cultivation.
However, just after he broke through, he witnessed the magnificence of the number one genius of the Sacred Land, Nan Gongsheng.
"The intent of a King…."
Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Everything seemed tiny against such a thing.
This was the Spiritual Sacred Land, a place where cultivation could increase by leaps and bounds.
Nan Gongsheng was at the top of the top ten geniuses, and he led the "clash between Sheng and Meng."
Sheng represented Nan Gongsheng, who had the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan behind his back.
Meng represented Meng Xi, who had the three-star Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan behind her back.
After witnessing Nan Gongsheng's strength, Zhao Feng thought about Meng Xi, who apparently had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. She shouldn't be too far off from Nan Gongsheng.
As the day of the Demigod Forgotten Garden opening was approaching, the disciples in seclusion came out.
Each of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land came out, and they had all improved.
At this moment, Zhao Feng also stopped cultivating and started to read the information regarding the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
Although the Demigod Forgotten Garden sounded like a garden, in reality, it was a secret realm that was ranked even higher than the Purple Saint Ruins.
After all, the Purple Saint Ruins was already extremely weak, not even one tenth as strong as when it was at its peak.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhao."
A voice sounded from outside.
Hearing that, Zhao Feng's Spiritual Sense instantly scanned outside and saw a disciple.
The disciple was a youth in green robes who seemed to be somewhat lowkey.
"Senior Martial Brother Dong."
Zhao Feng smiled faintly and walked out.
He met many Core disciples during the disciple ceremony, and this Senior Martial Brother Dong, whose full name was Dong Wenjian, was one of them.
More importantly, Dong Wenjian was Duanmu Qing's in-name disciple, and his father was a half-step Void God Realm in the middle echelon.
Back then, Duanmu Qing took Dong Wenjian as his in-name disciple because he saw that the latter's father was extremely hard working and was moved.
Dong Wenjian's talent was only considered to be average in the Sacred Land.
Normally, Duanmu Qing would spend most of his time in seclusion, and he would spend many years every time he entered seclusion. This meant that Duanmu Qing didn't have many chances to truly give pointers to Dong Wenjian.
"Junior Brother Zhao, there's still three days till the opening of the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and Master's not here. How is your preparation?"
Dong Wenjian was extremely warm.
The two were both under the same Emperor, but one was a Personal disciple while the other was only an in-name disciple.
Although there was a difference in status, they at least had the same master.
As Zhao Feng wasn't familiar with many people, he could only walk with Dong Wenjian.
"I've made a small improvement in my seclusion. Although I might not be on the Top Ten Geniuses' level, I won't lose Master's face."
Zhao Feng smiled faintly and he was relatively humble.
Dong Wenjian looked at Zhao Feng with complex emotions, including jealousy and wariness.
Zhao Feng was only 23 years old at most and he already had such cultivation.
Dong Wenjian had also watched Zhao Feng's battle with Zuo Hong, and he guessed that he probably wouldn't have been able to last thirty moves if it were him.
And now, Zhao Feng's cultivation had increased even more and reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm. There was also a power in his body that brought a lot of pressure.
That day, Zhao Feng and Dong Wenjian started to talk to others around the Sacred Land, mainly for two reasons.
One was information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
The Demigod Forgotten Garden had existed for an extremely long time, and the information that every King and Emperor possessed had slight differences.
Some Emperors and Kings might have more complete information.
For example, Duanmu Qing was usually in seclusion and acted lowkey, which meant that the information he had was not the most complete.
On top of that, people could help each other in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
Due to these reasons, Dong Wenjian went to talk with other Core disciples.
After all, the two superpowers and the thirty-three two-star sects were about to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and it was normal for there to be casualties.
Time flew, and the three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the once-every-five-hundred-years Demigod Forgotten Garden finally opened.
Boom!
The outline of a garden appeared in the corner of the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak with a magnificent power that shook Heaven and Earth.

Chapter 637 - Wen Luoan
On the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak, two or three hundred disciples of the True Martial Sacred Land gathered in front of a tattered palace.
The outline of a garden could be seen above their heads.
At the beginning, the outline was extremely blurry and existed in a void-like state, but as time passed, the outline of the garden became clearer and clearer, as if it was trying to materialize.
At the front and back of the garden, there were ancient, rusty green doors with divine beasts made from marble next to them. Although they were fake, they gave off a metallic feeling and seemed as if they were still alive.
"The Demigod Forgotten Garden usually takes one hour to fully open."
Dong Wenjian's voice sounded in Zhao Feng's ear.
Zhao Feng and Dong Wenjian were standing amongst the crowd from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.
The two or three hundred geniuses below the entrance of the Demigod Forgotten Garden were comprised of disciples from the two Sacred Clans and the thirty-three two-star sects.
Being a three-star superpower, the Mystic True Sacred Clan had 50 spots, while normal two-star sects only had five. The stronger two-star sects had more – around eight to ten.
For example, the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect had ten spots, whereas the Golden Mountain Sect only had five.
Before the Demigod Forgotten Garden opened, Dong Wenjian told Zhao Feng about the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land, as well as some other strong figures.
Nan Gongsheng led the Mystic True Sacred Clan. After him were Che Yilin and Senior Martial Brother Nan, who had both reached the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm. These three were all amongst the top ten geniuses.
Of course, apart from them, there were also a couple geniuses from the Mystic True Sacred Clan that were just a tier below the top ten geniuses, like those at the early and middle stages of the Great Origin Core Realm.
Apart from them, Jiang Fan and his bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races might also be able to challenge the top ten geniuses.
At this moment, Jiang Fan's gaze landed on Zhao Feng, and his expression became somewhat ugly.
"That Zhao Feng's cultivation has also reached the late stages of the Small Origin Core Realm."
Jiang Fan tightened his fists together, and he felt somewhat defeated in his heart.
Back at the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, Zhao Feng was just a "tiny figure" who would never interact with him anymore in his eyes.
Chen Yilin, who was next to Jiang Fan, also noticed this.
Zhao Feng's improvement wasn't just quick, it had surpassed even Jiang Fan, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.
"Junior Martial Brother Jiang, don't think too much about it. Even with the same level of cultivation, you have a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, so you'll definitely win. Your opponents are the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land."
Che Yilin smiled and comforted.
Hearing that, Jiang Fan's expression calmed down a little. He decided to surpass Zhao Feng by getting better rewards in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
"Disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, after entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden, you need to help each other. Do not attack or kill one another."
A powerful Emperor's intent sounded in the minds of the disciples.
Regulations Elder!
The hearts of the Core disciples shook as they agreed.
With Dong Wenjian's introductions, Zhao Feng was able to recognize some other experts from other forces.
"She is Meng Xi. Only she can counter Nan Gongsheng amongst the top ten geniuses, and she has a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races."
Their gazes landed on a young female in a blue dress.
The girl had a perfect face and starry eyes. Her hair fell to the ground and blew gently in the wind, yet it was somehow not dirty and seemed to present a perfect image.
When the gazes of all the disciples landed on Meng Xi, their hearts were shaken.
In every aspect, Meng Xi fulfilled the image of a goddess.
"What a weird bloodline aura."
When he saw her, Zhao Feng felt as if he wanted to protect her.
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
The God's Spiritual Eye gently jumped, and Zhao Feng became calm again as he escaped the beautiful sensation.
"That Meng Xi's bloodline power is biased toward the soul."
Zhao Feng concluded.
Hmm?
The gaze of the girl in blue with long hair suddenly turned and landed on Zhao Feng.
A powerful pressure descended on Zhao Feng's soul, and Meng Xi's eyes locked on to Zhao Feng's body for a breath or two.
Dong Wenjian, who was next to Zhao Feng, felt his thoughts, bloodline, and power freeze.
Meng Xi's actions raised the attention of other geniuses. Someone that was able to raise Meng Xi's interest was definitely not simple.
"He's that new Core disciple?"
Nan Gongsheng couldn't help but glance toward Zhao Feng, but he wasn't surprised.
"That's right, he's that Zhao Feng who became Emperor Duanmu's Personal disciple…."
Another Core disciple nearby said.
At the same moment, Zhao Feng felt many pressuring eyes land on him. They were from the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land.
Amongst them, Zhao Feng felt a gaze full of enmity and killing intent.
"Zhao Feng, life is so. We meet again. This time, we shall dance on the same stage."
A warm and smiling youth from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan inspected Zhao Feng.
Right at this moment, Dong Wenjian spoke, "That warm-looking youth is called Wen Luoan, a disciple that has just joined the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, and he shouldn't be weaker than the top ten geniuses. He's most likely the biggest dark horse this time."
The cultivation of the warm-looking Wen Luoan had reached the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm.
"Wen Luoan?"
Zhao Feng's eyes twinkled as he became on guard.
The warm youth gave him a dangerous pressure.
"Apart from the two Sacred Clans, Lei Zhen from the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect has the rare Ancient Lightning Spiritual Bloodline, and he focuses on the power of Lightning. His battle-power is extremely strong."
Dong Wenjian warned.
Lei Zhen?
Zhao Feng looked over and saw a bulky, barefooted man with a large sword on his back.
This Lei Zhen's cultivation had reached the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm, and the aura of lightning from his body made even Zhao Feng's Wind Lightning True Yuan shake.
"What a powerful aura of Lightning."
Zhao Feng could sense how terrifying this person was just by the power of Lightning radiating from him.
"Hmph, the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor? Back then, the Wind Lightning Emperor came to the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect and comprehended many techniques here, otherwise he wouldn't have become so famous."
Lei Zhen murmured to himself.
The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect was one of the most elite forces in the Cang Ocean that cultivated in lightning.
Their strength was also incredibly close to a three-star superpower, and they easily surpassed the Golden Mountain Sect.
Even the Wind Lightning Emperor had once cultivated in the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect. Without the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect, there would be no Wind Lightning Emperor.
"None of the top ten prodigies of the Sacred Land are simple."
Zhao Feng paid special attention to every one of the ten that Dong Wenjian told him about.
As time passed, the outline of the garden above became clearer, and the air on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak shook slightly.
It was as if two spaces were squeezing together, and Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye could see something.
If space were compared to bubbles, then a smaller bubble had just merged into a bigger bubble.
The Demigod Forgotten Garden was a secret realm that was created by a Demigod with heaven-defying methods.
"The Demigod Forgotten Garden will open soon."
The two or three hundred Sacred Land geniuses above the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak raised their heads.
At this moment in time, all they could see was the outline of the Demigod Forgotten Garden and two green doors.
"There's two entrances to the Demigod Forgotten Garden. One at the front, the other at the back."
Information regarding the Demigod Forgotten Garden appeared in Zhao Feng's mind.
The two green doors were guarded by the Mystic True Sacred Clan and the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.
Behind them were the stronger two-star sects.
Weng~~ Boom!
Space shook again.
Luckily, the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak's space was extremely stable, and it had spatial stabilizing arrays.
A corner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden dropped down and fully landed on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.
"A corner of the Forgotten Garden has merged onto the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak."
"The Demigod Forgotten Garden has been successfully opened."
Divine Senses from experts of the sects and clans filled the air.
"Let's enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden."
Nan Gongsheng charged at the front and turned into a silver streak of light that sped into the green door.
At the same moment, Meng Xi with her extremely long hair flashed by.
Sheng and Meng, the two super prodigies, stood at the peak and entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden with unparalleled speed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The geniuses from the two Sacred Clans sped into the green doors.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhao, you should meet up with the other disciples of the clan when you enter. That way, you won't be disadvantaged…."
Dong Wenjian warned as he also leapt into a green door.
Zhao Feng nodded his head and left a purple Wind Lightning afterimage behind as he disappeared.
"So, it's the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning."
A cold intent came from Lei Zhen of the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect behind.
Weng~~~
As more and more people entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the two green doors started to become unstable. When all two or three hundred disciples went in, the color of the green doors had faded to the limit.
Bang!
The two green doors shut at the same time.
Only a corner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden could be seen on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.
Even the Divine Senses of Kings and Emperors found it extremely hard to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
Shua!
Zhao Feng's body dropped into an old forest.
A crushing pressure from the Demigod Forgotten Garden instantly descended upon him.
"As expected."
Zhao Feng's figure paused slightly before starting to walk.
The space of the Demigod Forgotten Garden was much stronger than the Sacred Land. Zhao Feng learned this several days ago.
Around the same point in time, many of the geniuses that entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden stumbled.
"What a strong pressure."
These geniuses had red faces and found it hard to breathe.
Those with Small Origin Core Realm cultivations couldn't even fly here. Even those at the Great Origin Core Realm could only barely do so.
Apart from that, all types of powers and intents were restricted here.
For example, in the outside world, a wide-area attack from a Great Origin Core Realm could sweep across dozens of miles and destroy a small city, but in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the same attack would only cover ten or twenty yards. Every other aspect, such as speed, was also restricted.

Chapter 638 - Belief of a Loner
Within the Demigod Forgotten Garden, everyone that entered felt a powerful pressure descend upon them and suppress their powers.
Some of the geniuses at the Small Origin Core Realm found it hard to move or even breathe. They needed some time to get used to the pressure here.
Zhao Feng's figure froze for a moment before starting to walk.
Although the pressure here was strong, it was nothing compared to the pressure in the Ancient Dream Realm.
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye inspected every flower and piece of wood in the Demigod Forgotten Garden and felt a weird sensation.
There seemed to be an immortal intent somewhere controlling the power of Heaven and Earth.
"Skeletal Division Leader."
Zhao Feng tried to connect with the skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, but he found that the skeletal Division Leader couldn't leave the pearl.
He wasn't surprised. Over the last couple days, he read a lot of information regarding the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
The Demigod Forgotten Garden had its own laws.
Firstly, those that entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden had to rely on their own powers without using any "outside help."
Under that law, the skeletal Division Leader was suppressed within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.
Zhao Feng then tried to reach out to the little thieving cat and it ended in success.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng's shoulder.
This was because the little thieving cat was Zhao Feng's pet. Pets weren't under the restriction, otherwise all the beast tamers wouldn't be able to do anything in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
At the same moment, in another corner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden, a warm youth gazed at a black bracelet on his wrist.
Weng~~
The black bracelet gently shook as a Void God Realm aura surged from within.
"Third Prince, the Demigod intent in the Demigod Forgotten Garden controls Heaven and Earth here. I can't help you."
A voice sounded from the bracelet.
"The Demigod Forgotten Garden is indeed not simple. Let's slowly enjoy this game."
The warm youth Wen Luoan smiled.
Within the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the geniuses that tried to cheat revealed disappointed expressions. All types of outside help were useless here.
Of course, nothing was absolute.
"It succeeded! As expected of Master, a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord who left behind this trick in the Demigod Forgotten Garden a long time ago."
Meng Xi's hand flipped, and a purple unicorn's horn appeared in her hand.
The purple unicorn's horn seemed to be just a simple tool; it didn't contain any kind of stored entity or "outside help." However, with this purple unicorn's horn, Meng Xi smiled with confidence.
"If that's the case, then I'll first go to the Hundred Flower Garden, then toward the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower or maybe the Heart Healing Palace…."
With a plan in mind, Meng Xi's figure flashed. Even with the Demigod Forgotten Garden's suppression, her speed was extremely quick.
Although the Demigod Forgotten Garden sounded like a mere garden, it was actually a large secret realm that contained many fortunes and treasures, but there was also an accompanying danger.
Every genius in the Sacred Land knew most of the information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden. The only difference between them was how much they knew.
"En, according to the plan, I should go to the Purple Smoke Lake first. I have the biggest advantage there."
Zhao Feng had his own plan.
He had studied some information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
Sou!
Zhao Feng's figure moved with a purple flash.
The path below him was made from a green jade stone, which is what most of the pathways in the Demigod Forgotten Garden were made of. Everywhere else consisted mainly of grass and wood.
According to the experience of the people that had entered this place in the past, if one went on the pathways of this green jade stone, they were less likely to meet the attacks of powerful beasts.
After all, the entire place was filled with forests and grass, and there were some places that had hidden threats.
Spiritual Sense was also restricted within the Demigod Forgotten Garden, so people would normally not enter the places outside of the green jade stone.
At a certain moment:
Teng!
Zhao Feng's figure jumped onto a big tree. He opened his God's Spiritual Eye and looked down in order to observe the landscape.
"Luckily, the God's Spiritual Eye can help a lot here."
Zhao Feng soon figured out where he was.
Although everyone that came into the Demigod Forgotten Garden had information, not many had a complete map.
The Demigod Forgotten Garden only opened once every five hundred years, and the entire True Martial Sacred Land had only scouted out 60-70% of the place. There were still a lot of unknown forbidden places.
Through his God's Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng could see the landscape and analyze where he was relative to what he knew, which meant that he knew how to get to the Purple Smoke Lake.
Ceng!
Zhao Feng increased his speed, but he didn't fly. It had been a long time since he used such techniques.
On the way, he met some geniuses from the Sacred Land.
When entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden, everyone was sent to a certain position on the green jade stone.
Boom!
The sound of fighting came from the mountain ahead.
A bunch of geniuses had found a rare plant that was extinct in the outside world, and it could help strengthen one's bloodline.
However, next to the rare plant was a beast comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm, so the place was filled with fighting.
A total of four or five geniuses entered the fray.
Zhao Feng looked them over and saw that there was no one from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.
Although the value of the rare plant was great, Zhao Feng was too lazy to go over.
There were plenty of fortunes here. His target was the Purple Smoke Lake.
Zhao Feng continued to go on his journey, avoiding everyone else from the Sacred Land. However, the Demigod Forgotten Garden was huge, and everyone's speed was limited.
Half a day later, Zhao Feng had only passed two-thirds of the distance there.
Right at this moment, a tower that glittered with gold appeared in the forest in front.
Although it was far away, Zhao Feng could feel an air of treasure radiating from that golden tower.
"Hmm? Could that tower in front be the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower?"
Zhao Feng's footsteps paused.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower contained the savings of a Demigod. These treasures were all earth-shaking and had unique abilities.
Apparently, there were rumors that any random treasure within could change the destiny of a mortal.
Over the last dozen millennia, the treasures from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower had created many legends.
A mysterious ring created a Void God Realm King.
A weird token created a two-star super-sect.
A mysterious coin changed the fate of someone normal.
Apart from that, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower also contained items similar to Void God Protections that could be used within the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Because these items came from the Demigod Forgotten Garden to begin with, they weren't restricted by Heaven and Earth.
All these reasons made the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower an important target of all the geniuses.
As expected, when Zhao Feng reached the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, there were already many people there – around forty or fifty.
One had to know that this was only the beginning of the Demigod Forgotten Garden opening. Every time it opened, there was only half a month's time.
"There's already so many geniuses gathered here on the first day."
Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh.
He had thought about tackling the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower first earlier, but he decided to give up.
The competition here was too fierce, and the tower itself was full of dangerous challenges.
It was hard for a single person alone to accomplish anything, unless they were as strong as Nan Gongsheng or Meng Xi.
Simply put, it was best to create a team.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhao."
A voice sounded from a group of five or six in front of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.
The voice belonged to Dong Wenjian.
The leader of Dong Wenjian's group was Brother Nan, who was from the Mystic True Sacred Clan and one of the top ten geniuses.
Zhao Feng stopped.
He currently had two choices:
One, join the Mystic True Sacred Clan's group.
Two, don't.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhao, why not join our group? The more people we have, the stronger we will be. We can enter the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower together."
Dong Wenjian said warmly.
Zhao Feng hadn't been with the Mystic True Sacred Clan for long, so the only person he somewhat knew was Dong Wenjian, and that was only because they were both under Emperor Duanmu.
"Hehe, Junior Martial Brother Zhao's strength is not bad. I saw him personally defeat Zuo Hong."
Some of the others within the group revealed their good intents.
The competition within the Demigod Forgotten Garden was fierce, and there were many forces here. It was best for those from the same force to help each other.
Senior Martial Brother Nan was expressionless, but he didn't decline. The more people they had, the stronger they were. In his eyes, Zhao Feng's strength was average, so at least he wouldn't drag them down.
Zhao Feng was silent. His eyes flashed with decisiveness.
"Senior Martial Brother Dong, I'm very sorry, I have my own plans, so I can't join your group for now."
Zhao Feng said slightly regretfully.
His first target was the Purple Smoke Lake. The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower wasn't suitable for Zhao Feng.
He only just joined the Mystic True Sacred Clan, so he wasn't familiar with the other Core disciples yet.
Although Dong Wenjian was also Duanmu Qing's disciple, he still felt slightly jealous and unbalanced.
Zhao Feng knew all of that clearly.
This wasn't the Floating Crest Palace from the Broken Moon Clan. He didn't have any true friends here in the Demigod Forgotten Garden that he could rely on. Therefore, in Brother Nan's group, he would only be used without receiving much in return.
"The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower… isn't currently suitable for me."
Zhao Feng's figure turned into a purple streak as he continued on his way after declining.
He was prepared to be a loner in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and he was confident in himself.
Even if he was a loner, he would fight a path for himself.
"That Zhao Feng doesn't know what's good for him…."
Zhao Feng's rejection made Dong Wenjian's expression slightly ugly. In the bottom of his heart, he didn't like Zhao Feng due to jealousy, but he also didn't dare to offend him. After all, Zhao Feng was favored by Duanmu Qing while he was only an in-name disciple.
"Hmph, let him go alone and perish on his own. Without the strength of one of the top ten prodigies, loners will die."
Brother Nan's expression was ugly. Zhao Feng declining to join his group made him lose face.

Chapter 639 - Zhao Feng's Plan
Four hours later, Zhao Feng safely arrived at a faint purple-colored lake.
The lake was several hundred miles wide. When one looked from afar, it seemed to be a perfect piece of jade.
"This is the largest lake in the Demigod Forgotten Garden – the Purple Smoke Lake."
Zhao Feng slowed down and became cautious.
At this moment, he had strayed from the path of the green jade stone and was currently approaching the slightly wet mud near the lake.
There was an intent that controlled the laws in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and most beasts didn't dare to enter the green jade stone path. For outsiders, the green jade stone path was relatively safe, but now Zhao Feng had left the path and was about to enter the Purple Smoke Lake area.
"The Purple Smoke Lake is one of the places with the best fortune in the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden. It has many unique treasures and resources."
Zhao Feng stepped onto the mud and approached the faintly purple-colored lake.
The lake contained a spiritual power within it, which created rare and precious resources but also created powerful water beasts at the same time.
"Purple Scaled Grass!"
Low exclamations came from several geniuses near the shore.
Bam!
A male covered in a layer of water grabbed a weird-looking scaled grass, leapt out of the water, and ran toward the shore.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of nearby fish bared their teeth and followed.
The weakest of these fish were at the True Lord Rank, and the strongest ones had reached the Origin Core Realm.
The environment of the Demigod Forgotten Garden meant that the growth of anything living inside was at least ten times and up to even a hundred times faster than the outside world.
The Purple Scaled Grass is a grass that can strengthen one's body and help anyone below the Void God Realm.
Information surfaced in Zhao Feng's mind.
The Purple Scaled Grass was almost extinct in the outside world, but there were vast quantities of it in the Purple Smoke Lake.
In the entire Cang Ocean, over 90% of the Purple Scaled Grass came from here, so there was basically no supply for it.
Apart from strengthening the body, the Purple Scaled Grass had another weird effect; if one ate a large amount of Purple Scaled Grass, they might be able to obtain a defensive Water bloodline.
Simply put, it could give someone a Water element bloodline. This sounded incredible, but anything that sounded incredible was normal in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
After all, the owner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden had taken half a step into the realm of the gods.
"Help me…!"
The male screamed as several hundred fish attacked him.
In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the pressure from Heaven and Earth was extremely strong, and normal Origin Core Realm cultivators weren't even able to fly. Even those at the Great Origin Core Realm could only momentarily travel in the air.
Although the male specialized in Water element techniques, he was facing the attacks of several hundred fish in the lake.
Most of the fish in the Purple Smoke Lake were carnivores, and they had a sharp sense of smell toward strangers and would attack them instinctively.
"Quick! Help Junior Martial Brother Zhu!"
There were two disciples on the shore. One of them pulled out a bow while the other used a soul technique that sent mental energy through the air in order to stop the attacks from the fish. However, even with all that, as the man was about to reach the shore, his entire body was covered in blood.
It was at that moment that something unexpected happened.
A chaotic wave surged out from the lake as the giant figure of a dark, scaled creature could be seen.
"Watch out!"
"It's an ancient crocodile!"
The other two disciples, who were both at the late-stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, unleashed attacks on the crocodile.
However, the crocodile's scales were extremely tough. It took the attacks of the two Small Origin Core Realms head-on, and there were no signs of obvious damage anywhere.
Boom!
The ancient crocodile's scales had a faint purple color to them as it leapt toward the male.
"Arghh!"
The male that trained in Water techniques ran as fast as he could but was still bit on the leg.
Crack!
After losing a leg, the male managed to escape the danger zone with the help of the other two disciples.
"The number of beasts in the Purple Smoke Lake and their strength are greater than we imagined."
The three were shocked.
Although they had gotten one stalk of grass, one of them had lost a leg. While the value of a Purple Scaled Grass was high, the price they paid was too much.
"One needs at least a dozen Purple Scaled Grasses to obtain that defensive Water bloodline."
The expressions of the three were bitter.
At the same time, the figures of other geniuses started to appear near the Purple Smoke Lake.
Only those at the Great Origin Core Realm would be able to obtain some good stuff without being injured.
The Purple Scaled Grass was only one of the rare treasures in the Purple Smoke Lake.
"The depths of the lake contain more valuable treasures. Apparently, there's even a mermaid race in the depths of the lake, as well as a secret palace…."
Zhao Feng started to think; he wasn't in a rush.
As they were unable to fly, even those at the Great Origin Core Realm could only test their luck near the shore.
Zhao Feng's train of thought became clearer, and he decided what to do.
"Hmm? That brat's alone. Which sect's Core disciple is he?"
"He looks pretty new."
The gazes of the three-man team from before landed on Zhao Feng, who was slowly approaching them.
The three had wary expressions. One of them gripped his bow, another started to circulate his secret soul technique, and the last male, who trained in the element of Water, put the Purple Scaled Grass away.
Zhao Feng didn't bother with the three. He sat down near where the ancient crocodile had appeared.
"The ancient crocodile is a rare race in the Purple Smoke Lake that can also attack on land."
Zhao Feng's eyes twinkled as he sat down in front of the three wary gazes.
The three were secretly stunned. Was this blue-haired youth arrogant or just retarded? An ancient crocodile had just attacked right there and he still dared to sit there?
"The three of us come from the Dark Cloud Sect. May we know which sect you come from?"
The archer spoke.
"Mystic True Sacred Clan, Zhao Feng."
Zhao Feng said nonchalantly with his back toward the three.
Mystic True Sacred Clan.
The three from the Dark Cloud Sect instantly revealed wary expressions. They didn't dare to underestimate him at all.
The two Sacred Clans stood at the peak of the Sacred Land.
Even in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the disciples of the two-star sects were disadvantaged against those from the three-star Clans.
"Retreat for now."
The three retreated back to the green jade stone path and recovered.
They didn't leave. Instead, they stayed and watched the progress of other geniuses nearby.
Most of the geniuses were chased away by the fish within the lake. Only a couple Great Origin Core Realms and a female beast tamer got any rewards.
The female beast tamer had tamed more than a dozen fish to gather treasure in the lake.
Zhao Feng's gaze landed on the female beast tamer and he nodded his head.
Right at this moment, a chaotic wave surged toward Zhao Feng.
The ancient crocodile!
The hearts of the three Dark Cloud Sect geniuses jumped.
The battle-power of the ancient crocodile was almost at the peak Small Origin Core Realm, and it could even defend against attacks from Great Origin Core Realms.
"Good!"
A smile appeared on Zhao Feng's face as he locked on to the crocodile with his God's Spiritual Eye.
Dark Heart Seal!
A cold intent shot out from his left eye and into the crocodile's soul.
The body of the crocodile instantly froze in midair before falling to the ground.
Zhao Feng sat unmoving, and his expression didn't change.
After a breath or two, the ancient crocodile respectfully walked next to Zhao Feng.
"En, this is the first."
Zhao Feng nodded his head. Although the physical defense of the crocodile was strong, its soul was average.
"This…!"
The expressions of the three from the Dark Cloud Sect changed dramatically.
"He managed to control an ancient crocodile so easily?"
The genius who specialized in the soul was shocked.
The strength of one's soul usually needed to be at least at the Great Origin Core Realm to control an ancient crocodile, but even a Sovereign Lord who specialized in the soul couldn't control one so easily.
The three then watched as Zhao Feng sat down on the crocodile. The crocodile started to swim around the shore, which was its territory.
Zhao Feng sat on the crocodile, and the other fishes didn't dare to come near it.
A while later, Zhao Feng met a second ancient crocodile.
"Dark Heart Seal!"
Zhao Feng's left eye circulated his soul technique and successfully enslaved the second ancient crocodile.
This meant that Zhao Feng now had two ancient crocodiles already.
The eyes of the three from the Dark Cloud Sect bulged. With two ancient crocodiles, Zhao Feng didn't need to fear anything near the shore. However, Zhao Feng didn't use the crocodiles to gather treasure as they expected.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two ancient crocodiles continued to swim around the shore.
An hour later:
"Three… four… five…."
The number of ancient crocodiles under Zhao Feng's control was increasing.
At this moment, he even caught the female beast tamer's attention.
"That guy's eye-bloodline power can control five ancient crocodiles so easily?"
The female beast tamer was stunned.
One had to know that she had spent a very long time and only managed to control one ancient crocodile and more than a dozen fish.
Furthermore, she needed to continue using her secret soul technique or else they would escape her control, whereas Zhao Feng's Dark Heart Seed fully enslaved the target.
His technique was extremely efficient.
"He's already controlled five or six ancient crocodiles and can easily gather some of the precious resources near the shore."
The female beast tamer looked at Zhao Feng with puzzlement. Zhao Feng had already enslaved five or six ancient crocodiles, but there were no signs of him gathering anything.
From that, one could see how ambitious he was. He probably had a bigger goal.
Finally, after enslaving ten ancient crocodiles, Zhao Feng let out a breath and became slightly tired.
"Ten ancient crocodiles. The battle-power of each of them is comparable to the peak Small Origin Core Realm, and their defense can stop attacks from the Great Origin Core Realm."
The hearts of the three from the Dark Cloud Sect trembled.
The female beast tamer watched Zhao Feng's every action with envy. She couldn't help but wonder what this heaven-defying genius that specialized in the soul had in mind.

Chapter 640 - Ruling the Purple Smoke Lake (1)
After enslaving ten ancient crocodiles, Zhao Feng would be able to dominate the shore of the Purple Smoke Lake with these subordinates alone.
At this moment, all the geniuses nearby, including the two Great Origin Core Realms, were wary of Zhao Feng.
His every action and movement raised attention.
After resting for a while, Zhao Feng ordered the ten ancient crocodiles to slowly swim toward the center.
He didn't dare to go too far in.
There were many beasts in the Purple Smoke Loke. Some fish species numbered in the thousands and tens of thousands. If one was trapped by them, even half-step Void God Realms would need to retreat.
The ancient crocodiles were only at the top of the food chain around the shore of the Purple Smoke Lake.
Right at this moment:
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A group of fish numbering up to a hundred appeared in the water ahead. The weakest of them had reached the True Lord Rank, and there were almost ten Origin Core Realm auras.
The fish sensed the auras from the crocodiles and didn't dare to approach.
"Go."
Zhao Feng sat on a crocodile and ordered the other crocodiles to move closer to the group of fish.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The group of fish instantly panicked.
Without several hundred of them, it would be hard for them to threaten the ten ancient crocodiles.
"Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique – One Thought into Ten."
Zhao Feng's mind suddenly split into tens of thoughts, which all used the Dark Heart Seal on the fish.
Since they were panicking and scared, they were easily enslaved by the Dark Heart Seal.
In just one breath, Zhao Feng enslaved eighteen fish with his Dark Heart Seal.
All of the fish were at least at the True Lord Rank, but the Dark Heart Seal used by Zhao Feng's Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was still able to control them.
Whoosh~~
The enslaved fishes swam up to the ancient crocodiles respectfully.
"He managed to control that many fish with just one thought?"
The female beast tamer couldn't believe it. Her eyes were full of admiration.
She trained in mental energy as well, so she knew that Zhao Feng's mastery had reached an extremely high level.
Splitting one's mind into ten or twenty different thoughts and using a soul technique at the same time through each individual thought… to her, this was already a grandmaster.
However, enslaving eighteen fishes was just Zhao Feng's first wave.
The second wave came as Zhao Feng's mind split once again and enslaved ten or twenty more fish.
The third wave… the fourth wave… the fifth wave.
After five waves, Zhao Feng already had a hundred fish and ten Origin Core Realm fish leaders.
The female beast tamer was dazed.
"How strong is his soul? Even if he has an eye-bloodline that can reduce the amount of energy spent, it can't be used infinitely…."
The female beast tamer couldn't believe her eyes.
She analyzed that Zhao Feng's soul was at least at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm or stronger, and he had a Soul-based eye-bloodline that increased his efficiency on top of that.
Zhao Feng now had ten ancient crocodiles and around a hundred fish.
"En, the first step's about complete."
Zhao Feng nodded his head. The number of troops he had was now enough to rule the shore of the Purple Smoke Lake.
After resting for an hour to recover his energy, Zhao Feng sent some orders down.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The fishes started to move around the outer edges of the Purple Smoke Lake.
With Zhao Feng's command, the fishes formed groups and started to gather resources around the Purple Smoke Lake.
"The Purple Smoke Lake has many rare and precious resources. The efficiency of one person alone is too low, and there are too many threats in the lake anyway."
Zhao Feng didn't do anything himself, he simply handed everything off to his subordinates.
The crocodiles were more familiar with the environment here, and they were actually rather intelligent.
The hundred fishes were the main force for gathering resources while the ancient crocodiles were the bodyguards, and Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye was responsible for finding the resources in the lake.
"Purple Scaled Grass!"
Zhao Feng's eyes lit up as he found traces of Purple Scaled Grass.
Purple Scaled Grass was a resource that the Purple Smoke Lake created, and it had weird powers. Half the reason the geniuses came was for the Purple Scaled Grass.
"Not bad."
Zhao Feng held a few stalks of Purple Scaled Grass and confirmed they were genuine.
With such a force under him, he believed he could find more.
To test the effects of the Purple Scaled Grass, Zhao Feng decided to eat one.
A cold aura instantly entered his flesh and blood, which started to burn.
A faint layer of purple flames started to glow around Zhao Feng's body. He revealed a pained expression and struggled slightly.
A normal Origin Core Realm cultivator would need at least half a month to absorb the energy from a single Purple Scaled Grass.
However, Zhao Feng's state of existence wasn't simple after being strengthened by the Ancient Dream Realm aura. His absorption speed couldn't be thought of logically.
"The Purple Scaled Grass does indeed have an effect on my body and state of existence, but the effect for me isn't very strong."
Zhao Feng felt it clearly because his state of existence and body had reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm and were closing in on the Void God Realm.
Even the body and state of existence of a half-step Void God Realm weren't as strong as Zhao Feng's.
Of course, Zhao Feng wanted the Purple Scaled Grass more because of its defensive Water bloodline.
An item that could give someone a bloodline was rare throughout the entire Fan Universe. This was the most valuable aspect of the Purple Scaled Grass.
As time passed, the army that Zhao Feng controlled gathered many resources, placing greater importance on the Purple Scaled Grass.
As they gathered resources, it was unavoidable that there would be losses to the troops, but he was also enslaving more. Half a day later, the number of fishes under Zhao Feng's control had actually increased instead. The number had reached more than two hundred.
As long as a target was enslaved by the Dark Heart Seal, they would obey him from the bottom of their soul, meaning that the energy used to control them afterwards would be extremely small.
"Purple Scaled Grass… Black Water Insect Grass… Water Precious Stone… Guwu Shell…."
Rare treasures and resources of different kinds were sent to Zhao Feng. Furthermore, Zhao Feng only went for treasures and resources that were useful to the Origin Core Realm or extinct in the outside world. Amongst them, his main focus was still the Purple Scaled Grass.
The other resources and treasures were mainly used for either outside help, pill making, weapon forging, or antidotes, whereas the Purple Scaled Grass could directly increase one's strength.
He placed the greatest important on that type of resource.
The efficiency of two hundred fish was extremely high, and the amount of Purple Scaled Grass in Zhao Feng's hands kept on increasing.
"Eighteen… nineteen… twenty…."
Zhao Feng's Purple Scaled Grass kept increasing just by ordering his subordinates around, whereas others would use half a day's time to find one or two while facing the pursuit of many beasts in the process.
Every hour or so, Zhao Feng would eat a clump of Purple Scaled Grass. As the amount he ate continued to add up, Zhao Feng's body became stronger, especially in terms of defense.
When he ate ten pieces of Purple Scaled Grass, Zhao Feng felt his bloodline undergo a weird change. There seemed to be a dark purple Water aura within his flesh.
Hmm?
Zhao Feng tried to control this aura in his body.
Weng~~
A layer of dark purple markings appeared on Zhao Feng's skin, which soon turned into scales.
"Success!"
Zhao Feng was overjoyed. He now had a new bloodline power in his body.
Zhao Feng could feel that the defense of the scales was strong, similar to the scales on the bodies of the ancient crocodiles.
Ancient crocodiles were all only at the Small Origin Core Realm, and yet their defense could block attacks from the Great Origin Core Realm.
Bloodline powers were usually based on how strong one's body was. Zhao Feng's state of existence and body had both absorbed a lot of the Ancient Dream Realm aura, so the strength of his new defensive bloodline was shockingly powerful.
"This defensive bloodline just increased my overall defense by 30%."
Zhao Feng's heart shook, and this was just the beginning. He was still eating more Purple Scaled Grass in order to increase the concentration of the bloodline.
At the same time, Zhao Feng momentarily went into the Ancient Dream Realm to absorb its aura and purify the bloodline.
"Twenty-eight… thirty… thirty-five…."
Zhao Feng's small army was still expanding, and their efficiency was still increasing.
The beasts were all intelligent to a certain degree, and Zhao Feng sent the image of the Purple Scaled Grass to the minds of the leaders and ordered them to focus on this special grass.
On the second day, the number of Purple Scaled Grass pieces he had on hand had reached about forty.
He was receiving Purple Scaled Grass faster than he could eat it.
At this moment, his new bloodline power had evolved as well. He only needed a single thought to form the dark purple Water markings on his body, and the scales had become more condensed.
"My defense is now two times stronger than before, but this defensive bloodline doesn't affect my Water bloodline's defensive barrier."
Zhao Feng felt that his body, especially in terms of defense, had become stronger.
All of this landed in the eyes of the other geniuses of the Sacred Land.
A day and a half had passed since the opening of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
There were twenty or thirty geniuses currently gathered around the Purple Smoke Lake, and Zhao Feng's harvests made them all jealous.
However, Zhao Feng's army was becoming bigger and bigger. It was enough to make most of the other geniuses quite scared of him.
"Twenty ancient crocodiles and four hundred fish…."
The female beast tamer looked at Zhao Feng like she wasn't looking at a human.
At another corner of the lake:
"A measly Small Origin Core Realm's taking over 90% of the Purple Scaled Grass."
"His army has already taken more than half of all the resources and treasures here. We don't even get any bones to chew on."
Five or six geniuses gathered together. They looked at the army of water species with anger and unwillingness.
Two of them had reached the Great Origin Core Realm. One of them was a male with a dry and withering face while the other was a youth who cultivated in the Sword Dao.
The male with the withering face specialized in the Dao of Ghost Corpses and had an army of a hundred skeletons. Amongst them, eight had reached the Origin Core Realm, and a golden skeleton had reached the Sovereign Lord Rank.

Chapter 641 - Ruling the Purple Smoke Lake (2)
"Brother Jiu, you come from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan and specialize in the Dao of the Soul – only you can take care of that brat."
One of the geniuses from a two-star sect suggested.
Hearing that, all the other geniuses agreed, including the youth who cultivate the Sword Dao.
Zhao Feng came from the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan, so normal geniuses from two-star sects didn't dare to offend him.
Their gazes landed on Brother Jiu who had a withering face.
"Okay."
Brother Jiu's eyes flashed.
He was the strongest among their group.
Back in the Purple Smoke Lake, Zhao Feng was sitting on an ancient crocodile, and the army of fish under his control were extremely active within a radius of several miles.
He didn't dare to enter the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake yet, so he only gathered resources from the edges of the lake for now.
"According to the information, there are more powerful beasts in the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake, including mermaids and the mysterious palace at the bottom of the lake."
Zhao Feng's eyes twinkled. The first step of his plan was to scavenge everything around the edges of the Purple Smoke Lake.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Large numbers of fish started to gather resources from the water nearby, and the Purple Scaled Grass was still the main target.
Although the other resources and treasures may have been valuable, they couldn't increase his strength very quickly.
"Fifty-eight… sixty… sixty-three…."
Zhao Feng counted the amount of Purple Scaled Grass in his hand.
He had eaten over thirty pieces himself, and when complemented with the Ancient Dream Realm aura, its effect was stunning.
With just a thought, a bunch of scaly, dark purple markings appeared on Zhao Feng's skin like some kind of scaled shirt.
"It increases my defensive power, but there's no offensive effects. However, this bloodline can allow me to easily harmonize with the Purple Smoke Lake."
Zhao Feng realized, but he found that it was logical. After all, the Purple Scaled Grass originated from the Purple Smoke Lake.
After eating such a large amount of Purple Scaled Grass, Zhao Feng obtained its defensive Water bloodline, which greatly increased his affinity with water, especially the Purple Smoke Lake's water.
If Zhao Feng entered the Purple Smoke Lake right now, he wouldn't be considered an outsider by the other beings within the lake.
The pressure on him had also decreased dramatically.
I'll start heading toward the depths of the lake after I gather a hundred pieces of Purple Scaled Grass.
Zhao Feng thought.
Right as he was thinking:
Whoosh!
On the other side of the shore, a dragon-shaped skeleton with five or six people on top gently moved across the surface on the water.
"Hmm? Ghost-corpse secret technique?"
Zhao Feng looked over and saw five or six geniuses on the dragon-shaped skeleton. The two leaders were both Sovereign Lords – Brother Jiu and the Sword Dao youth.
The cultivation of the other four had reached the late and peak stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.
The group of people charged over with greed in their eyes.
"Zhe zhe. Brat named Zhao, your ability to gather such a large amount of Purple Scaled Grass and other treasures makes us envy you."
Brother Jiu said in a weird tone.
"What do you want?"
Zhao Feng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and the people aboard the bone dragon felt an invisible coldness.
Given the current level of Zhao Feng's bloodline and body, his gaze alone could put a lot of pressure on normal Sovereigns.
"We just want to buy some Purple Scaled Grass."
Brother Jiu wasn't scared. He had reached the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm and specialized in the Dao of the Soul. He wasn't scared of a Small Origin Core Realm who also happened to be talented in the Dao of the Soul.
Buy?
Zhao Feng squinted his eyes as he glanced at them.
These people were obviously trying to cause trouble under the guise of "buying."
The value of the Purple Scaled Grass in the outside world was immeasurable. A single piece alone was close to the value of a mid-tier Earth-Grade weapon, and you needed at least a dozen pieces to obtain the defensive Water bloodline, with at least twenty to guarantee it.
"How about we pay ten thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones for one piece?"
Brother Jiu said.
Ten thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones?
The other geniuses watching from the shore choked. Ten thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones probably couldn't even buy a single root of the Purple Scaled Grass.
This was obviously extortion.
"Fuck off."
Zhao Feng was too lazy to bother with them, but Brother Jiu and company obviously came here prepared.
They didn't leave; instead, they started to cause trouble. For example, they would stop the fish from gathering treasures and killed a couple of them as well.
"Hmph!"
Zhao Feng's face became dim, but he laughed instead of getting angry.
Oh well, my goal is to rule the Purple Smoke Lake anyways. These people will be a great example to others.
"Go!"
Zhao Feng ordered the twenty ancient crocodiles to attack Brother Jiu and company.
Each of the twenty ancient crocodiles had battle-power comparable to a peak Small Origin Core Realm, and they all charged at Brother Jiu's group at the same time.
The expressions of Brother Jiu and company changed, and the four geniuses not at the Great Origin Core Realm instantly started to panic.
The ancient crocodiles had the terrain advantage, and their charge instantly pushed the group apart.
"Kill the leader!"
Brother Jiu roared as he and the Sword Dao youth jumped over the crocodiles and charged toward Zhao Feng.
Even the two Great Origin Core Realms felt a tingle in their scalps at the thought of having to fight twenty ancient crocodiles and hundreds of fish head-on. However, they knew what to do; Zhao Feng was their leader, so as long as they killed him, everything would crumble and they would be able to steal his stuff.
Nothing was simpler than this plan.
The two Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords charged at Zhao Feng from the front and the back at the same time.
The Sword Dao youth's offense was extremely strong, so he was in the front, while Brother Jiu controlled the Sovereign Lord golden skeleton and used secret Soul techniques to try and disturb Zhao Feng's control of the fish from the back.
"Not good…!"
The female beast tamer near the shore revealed an unresigned expression.
Being a beast tamer herself, she knew that those who specialized in controlling others were most worried about being attacked head-on.
In front of two Sovereign Lords from the Sacred Land, how could Zhao Feng come away unharmed?
"Appear."
Zhao Feng sat motionless as a black flag appeared in his hand.
Shua!
With a wave of the black flag, the hundred cursed ghost-corpses appeared, and dark smoke enveloped everything within dozens of yards.
Sii!
The youth who cultivated in the Sword Dao was instantly attacked by the ghostly smoke when he got near it, and invisible withered white hands started reaching into his body.
Each of the hundred cursed ghost-corpses had now reached the half-step Origin Core Realm and merged with the Ancient Dream Realm aura. Their power was at least one or two times stronger than before.
The Sword Dao youth had just charged in and he already felt his muscles turn cold and his essence and energy get sucked away.
His battle-power instantly decreased by 30-40% and, as time passed, it would only continue to weaken. Once he stayed in the smoke for more than ten breaths, he would most likely turn into a pile of white bones.
"A hundred cursed ghost-corpses? Take a look at mine!"
Brother Jiu laughed as he controlled the golden skeleton and made it charge into the Cursed Ghost Corpse Array.
The golden skeleton wasn't really affected since it was also a ghost-corpse. Furthermore, this golden skeleton had reached the Great Origin Core Realm.
This meant that Zhao Feng still had to face a healthy Sovereign Lord and a weakened Sword Dao Sovereign Lord.
"Everything will be okay as long as we kill him quickly."
Brother Jiu's heart was clear, but a scream came from the Cursed Ghost Corpse Array the next instant.
"Arghhh!"
The youth who cultivated in the Sword Dao was cut by a dark purple blade within the dark smoke.
"Blade of Purple Destruction!"
The dark purple blade in Zhao Feng's hand radiated an aura of Destruction as it sliced into the Sword Dao youth, causing lightning to crackle and winds to roar.
Although the Sword Dao youth had reached the early-stage of the Great Origin Core Realm and his battle-power surpassed other normal Sovereign Lords, his senses and strength were restricted in the array.
"How…?"
The eyes of the youth bulged. He couldn't understand how Zhao Feng still had the time and energy to attack him while also controlling the array. Furthermore, the attack was extremely powerful.
He obviously didn't know that Zhao Feng had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which meant that it wasn't hard for him to control the array and attack at the same time.
Shua!
Zhao Feng's figure disappeared. The Sword Dao youth tried to run, but he was constricted by the dark smoke.
The Sword Dao youth's fate was already sealed – he had been critically injured, and he was now unable to escape. His essence and soul were being sucked out by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.
Within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, Zhao Feng now only needed to face the Sovereign Lord golden skeleton.
"Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Whip!"
A dark purple whip condensed in Zhao Feng's hand and wrapped itself around the golden skeleton.
The power of lightning countered ghost-corpses dramatically to begin with, but on top of that, Zhao Feng's Purple Destruction Wind Lightning contained an aura of Destruction.
The Core Center within his body had almost fully crystallized, and it was almost comparable to a Sovereign Lord. With the help of the Ancient Dream Realm aura, it was even closer to the origin, so its power was fundamentally stronger.
Shu~~~
The golden skeleton started to smoke as it struggled.
"Kneel!"
Zhao Feng roared as he smashed a palm onto the golden skeleton. At this moment, he was like a giant beast.
Zhao Feng's state of existence was getting close to that of a King's, but the power of his body exceeded logic with the help of the Ancient Dream Realm aura, heart blood essence, Purple Scaled Grass, and other things.
He radiated a dense, ancient bloodline aura with the thrust of his palm.
Zhhhh~~
The golden skeleton was unable to move as the pressure descending upon it travelled throughout its body and mind.
"Ice Imperial Seal!"
An ice-blue seal condensed on Zhao Feng's other hand and radiated a freezing cold energy that enveloped the golden skeleton.
Siii!
Frost started to appear on the golden skeleton's body.
Plop!
The golden skeleton was crushed onto the back of a crocodile by Zhao Feng.
"Don't even think about it, you brat~~~~!"
Brother Jiu's expression changed dramatically as he roared.
At this moment, he no longer cared about the threat of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array as he charged in, hoping to try to save his golden skeleton. This was a Sovereign Lord ghost-corpse, after all.
"Hmph!"
Zhao Feng didn't bother with him. He used the coldness of the Ice Imperial Spear to its fullest extent.
Shua!
The golden skeleton was soon completely sealed in ice.
"Stop!"
Brother Jiu flew over and sent a palm toward Zhao Feng, but the latter stood unmoving.
Weng~
Dark purple scales appeared across his body, and he seemed to become a dragon-scaled warrior.
Bam!
The Great Origin Core Realm Brother Jiu's palm gave off a low thud.

Chapter 642 - Ruling the Purple Smoke Lake (3)
"What…!?"
Brother Jiu exclaimed. Zhao Feng didn't move at all after being hit.
Even though he specialized in Soul techniques, his close combat battle-power was still comparable to a normal Sovereign Lord.
Weng~~
A layer of dark purple scales appeared on Zhao Feng's body, which increased his defense to a level where even someone at the Great Origin Core Realm would be stunned.
The Purple Scaled Grass allowed Zhao Feng to display the strength of his state of existence to its fullest extent. If it were another Sovereign with a normal state of existence, the effect of the Purple Scaled Grass wouldn't have been so strong.
"Seal!"
Zhao Feng didn't bother with Brother Jiu. He circulated his bloodline power and completely sealed the golden skeleton.
The golden skeleton lost the ability to fight back.
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye then released a shocking surge of eye-bloodline power as a divine light of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning flame glinted in his eye.
Shu~~~
Black smoke started to rise from the golden skeleton sealed in ice as fear filled its eyes.
Sii!
Brother Jiu, whose soul was connected to the golden skeleton, couldn't help but groan. The mental energy mark he had left on the golden skeleton was being burned away by the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning eye-bloodline flame.
"Don't even think about it!"
Brother Jiu saw what Zhao Feng was trying to do. Dark flames appeared around his body like dragons and snakes, which then shot toward Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng's expression was calm as he continued to completely wipe away the mental energy mark on the golden skeleton.
Within the dimension of his left eye, the size of the lake had already reached 80-90 yards.
Over the last few months, Zhao Feng focused on the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique in order to train his soul, while also absorbing a large amount of the Ancient Dream Realm aura.
His soul had reached a level only below that of a half-step King's, but the actual strength of his soul might be even stronger than a normal half-step King's because of the Ancient Dream Realm aura and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.
Therefore, Zhao Feng had the absolute advantage in terms of soul strength.
On top of that, he was using the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning eye-bloodline flame, which suppressed the Ghost Corpse Dao.
Boom!
Brother Jiu's even-stronger attack landed on Zhao Feng, and the surface of the scales on Zhao Feng's skin became slightly dented, but they quickly recovered.
One had to remember that Zhao Feng not only had the new defensive Water bloodline, he also had another Water bloodline that excelled in defense and recovery to begin with. Thus, even though Brother Jiu's attack was strong enough to slightly damage Zhao Feng, the latter could recover very quickly.
20%… 30%… 40%….
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye quickly started to destroy the mental energy mark on the golden skeleton. At the same time, he also started using the Dark Heart Seal to try to enslave the golden skeleton.
"A Sovereign Lord skeleton. That means the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array will soon have a leader."
The skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was filled with excitement. It could sense what was happening outside through the connection of the Dark Heart Seed.
"Stop~~!"
Brother Jiu was as angry as thunder. He summoned his weapon and unleashed even more powerful attacks against Zhao Feng.
However, he realized that his offense was becoming weaker. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was slowly devouring his energy and essence.
"Arghh!"
The youth who cultivated in the Sword Dao turned into a puddle of blood with a scream.
Brother Jiu felt coldness spread across his body.
The strong sense of danger made his face go white. Even though he was fighting back with his Soul techniques, his battle-power decreased to 60-70% of his maximum.
"If I don't run now, there'll be no hope."
Brother Jiu's scalp tingled as the blue-haired youth in front of him seemed to become a dragon-scaled beast. Although he was a Sovereign Lord, he wasn't able to harm his opponent at all.
60%… 70%… 80%….
Zhao Feng's progress became faster and faster.
Run!
Brother Jiu lost all courage. Once Zhao Feng was free and had the time to attack, Brother Jiu wasn't confident he could avoid following in the Sword Dao youth's footsteps.
This strength of this new Core disciple from the Mystic True Sacred Clan might be comparable to the top ten geniuses.
Boom!
A thick layer of dark smoke from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array crushed toward Brother Jiu.
80%… 90%… Done!
Zhao Feng's Purple Destruction Wind Lightning eye-bloodline flame managed to completely wipe out the mental energy mark on the golden skeleton, and his Dark Heart Seal was about to enslave the skeleton.
Whoosh!
Brother Jiu used a secret technique that increased his size, and he managed to barely escape out of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array's range.
However, in the next instant, more than a dozen ancient crocodiles and hundreds of fish charged toward him.
Bam! Bam! Boom! Boom!
Brother Jiu did his best to fight his way out.
"Hehe, it's complete."
Zhao Feng successfully managed to enslave the golden skeleton with his Dark Heart Seal. His Dark Heart Seal could also be used on non-living existences such as ghost-corpses.
Hu~~
The golden skeleton charged out of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and toward Brother Jiu from behind.
"Dammit…!"
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth, and his eyes almost exploded from anger. The Sovereign Lord ghost-corpse he had taken care of for more than a dozen years had been stolen by his opponent instantly, leaving a mark in his heart.
At the same moment:
"Arghh! Argh!"
The other four Core disciples who were facing the crocodiles and fish were killed one after another and their bodies were thrown into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.
That scene made Brother Jiu's body turn cold.
From the beginning, Zhao Feng was fighting on at least three fronts:
One, he controlled the ancient crocodiles and fish to surround the other four Core disciples.
Two, he controlled the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to suppress the Sword Dao youth.
Three, wiping out the mental energy mark on the golden skeleton while facing Brother Jiu's attacks.
Of course, the third front was where Zhao Feng spent most of his time and energy.
And now, Zhao Feng was controlling the golden skeleton to charge toward Brother Jiu.
Near the shore, the other Core disciples watched with open mouths and bulging eyes.
"The control of a grandmaster, and his strength is almost comparable to the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land…."
The female beast tamer's eyes were filled with shock.
The other geniuses of the Sacred Land watched as Brother Jiu lost his golden skeleton and was then chased by it.
On a hidden hill near the lake, a few Core disciples were gathered together. If Zhao Feng was here, he would recognize that these Core disciples all came from the Mystic True Sacred Clan, and the leader was one of the top ten geniuses – Chen Yilin.
"Brother Chen, that Zhao Feng's this strong? He defeated Jiu Motai and company single-handedly."
Jiang Fan said in disbelief.
One had to know that Jiu Motai had reached the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm and had a Sovereign Lord golden skeleton servant. His strength was almost at the level of the top ten geniuses. Apart from that, the Sword Dao youth also came from a strong sect of the Sacred Land that cultivated the Dao of the Sword, and yet such a team had been defeated by Zhao Feng by himself.
"We've underestimated Zhao Feng."
Chen Yilin had a solemn expression. They had been hiding here to see a good show.
"This means that we can't help him now and gain an advantage when negotiating with him."
Another early-stage Great Origin Core Realm genius said.
They had watched as Zhao Feng controlled an army of beasts, and they were originally planning to wait until Zhao Feng needed support so they could help him, giving them more of an advantage when negotiating with him. Zhao Feng's army of aquatic beasts would play a big part in their plan to conquer the Purple Smoke Lake and reap all its treasures.
Right at this moment:
"Arghh!"
One of Brother Jiu's arms was cut off by the golden skeleton in the process of running away.
This was mainly because his strength had decreased to 50-60% after being weakened by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and he was being pestered by the ancient crocodiles and the fish on top of that.
However, Brother Jiu finally managed to escape after paying the price of one arm.
"That Zhao Feng is too strong. He actually managed to kill so many Core disciples."
"He comes from a three-star superpower and killed them out of self-defense. The two-star sects won't be able to do anything to him."
The nearby geniuses were full of wariness and respect toward Zhao Feng. Not only was Zhao Feng strong and decisive, he had the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan behind his back.
Although Zhao Feng lost a few subordinates in this fight, he had also gained quite a lot.
Adding a Sovereign Lord skeleton to the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was like adding wings to a tiger.
After resting for an hour, Zhao Feng controlled his army of beasts and replenished some troops.
His army wasn't just limited to crocodiles and fishes. There were other races as well, such as water snakes.
There were creatures who specialized in offense, defense, detection, assassination… whatever one could think of, it was in the army of beasts.
Half a day later, Zhao Feng's army numbered seven or eight hundred in total. Over sixty percent of the army was comprised of fish, and the number of ancient crocodiles was around thirty.
Such a force terrified the nearby geniuses.
"Terrifying!"
"That Zhao Feng probably wants to rule the entire Purple Smoke Lake and reap everything here."
The geniuses near the Purple Smoke Lake did their best to avoid Zhao Feng. They saw what happened to Brother Jiu and company.
Zhao Feng made his massive army gather resources in an orderly fashion, and the amount of treasures in his possession soon increased.
The amount of treasures he gathered in just half a day had already exceeded the wealth of some half-step Void God Realms.
At the same time, the amount of Purple Scaled Grass he had was still increasing.
"Eighty-one… eighty-three…."
Zhao Feng counted.
He had currently eaten thirty or forty pieces of Purple Scaled Grass, and the effect was becoming weaker and weaker. However, that was to be expected. It was impossible to increase one's strength limitlessly with outside help, including the Ancient Dream Realm aura.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Footsteps stepping on water sounded. Che Yilin and three or four other Core disciples started to walk toward Zhao Feng.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhao."
Chen Yilin spoke with a smile.
Zhao Feng controlled the army of beasts and made them open a path so that Chen Yilin and company could get closer.
He wasn't too wary of the other disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan. Before they even entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the Regulations Elder had already given the order that the clan's disciples shouldn't fight with each other.
"Brother Chen, is there something you need?"
Zhao Feng smiled as his eyes glanced over Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan felt slightly awkward but didn't say anything. Life was such; back at the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, neither of them thought that they would one day compete or work with each other in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhao," Chen Yilin remained humble, "although your army of beasts is strong, it's still not enough to gather the true treasures in the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake. You have to know that there are still the legendary mermaids in the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake, and there are even existences at the Void God Realm…."

Chapter 643 - Mermaid Kingdom
"What does Brother Chen have in mind?"
Zhao Feng squinted his eyes. It was obvious that Chen Yilin had seen through his intentions of trying to gather the treasures from the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake.
This also meant that Chen Yilin was ambitious. The depths of the Purple Smoke Lake was a forbidden area in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
There weren't merely a bunch of powerful beasts there. Most importantly, there were mermaids.
Mermaids were a species that only appeared in legends, and their intelligence and talent weren't much weaker than humans.
According to intelligence from the past, there was an extremely large number of mermaids within the lake – enough that they could be considered a small kingdom.
There were even Kings among the mermaids, simply known as Mermaid Kings.
Whenever the Demigod Forgotten Garden opened in the past, there weren't many people that dared to enter the Mermaid Kingdom.
Even those at the Void God Realm would find it hard to fight against the entire Mermaid Kingdom.
"I hope that Brother Zhao will put the greater good first and team up with us to gather resources from the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake. The value of mermaid tears is even higher than the Purple Scaled Grass."
Chen Yilin said solemnly.
"Mermaid tears? Just that?"
Zhao Feng smiled.
Everyone had information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and everyone here came from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.
The value of mermaid tears was indeed higher than the Purple Scaled Grass.
While the Purple Scaled Grass mainly strengthened one's body and bloodline, mermaid tears focused on the soul.
Apparently, mermaid tears took a long time to form, and they had the effect of cleansing the soul and helping one comprehend the Void God Realm.
Just that one point alone was extremely tempting to those below the Void God Realm.
Apart from that though, mermaid tears could also heal soul injuries and get rid of heart demons. It was also a Water elemental treasure that could be used to craft protective soul items.
"Actually," Chen Yilin gave Zhao Feng a deep glance, "if the time is ripe, it would be best to enter the palace in the depths of the lake."
Palace in the depths of the lake.
The eyes of the Mystic True Sacred Clan disciples lit up.
According to the information, the palace was a place that the mermaids had guarded for generations.
"Apparently, the palace in the depths of the lake is the winery of the Demigod, and it has the legendary Immortal Springs Wine and the legendary Illusion God Wine. In the past, the mermaids were responsible for making alcohol for the Demigod."
Chen Yilin paused.
He believed that Zhao Feng already knew all of these rumors as well.
Several thousand years ago, a genius from the Sacred Land entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden and fell in love with the Mermaid Princess. Then, with the help of the Mermaid Princess, the genius stole some Immortal Springs Wine and some Illusion God Wine.
A couple years after leaving the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the disciple broke through to the Void God Realm, and this genius was now an Emperor.
All of that was because of the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine.
The Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine were both legendary alcohols even throughout the rest of the Fan Universe.
"The Immortal Springs Wine increase one's state of existence and can increase one's lifespan by a thousand years. The Illusion God Wine can make one enter a profound state and let those at the Origin Core Realm manage to comprehend the intent of Kings before they actually reach the Void God Realm."
Zhao Feng's eyes twinkled.
The information Chen Yilin had was about the same as his.
As long as one found the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine, a normal Sovereign would have a high chance of reaching the Void God Realm.
The Immortal Springs Wine could increase lifespan by a thousand years. This was the power of life and time; with so much extra time, coupled with the strengthening in one's state of existence, there would be nothing to worry about.
In comparison, Zhao Feng wanted the Illusion God Wine more, but it would be best if he could obtain both.
Of course, the danger associated with entering the palace was also extremely great.
Even Kings would find it hard to pass through the Mermaid Kingdom.
The only method was to rely on intelligence and a bit of luck.
"What does Brother Zhao think?"
Chen Yilin smiled.
"There's no problem with teaming up, but how will we split the resources?"
Zhao Feng wasn't dumb.
With the help of a top-ten genius, as well as Jiang Fan who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, this was indeed a powerful team.
"How about Brother Zhao first give us 50 pieces of Purple Scaled Grass to help strengthen Brother Jiang and myself, as well as increase our compatibility with the Purple Smoke Lake. The beasts within the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake are extremely strong. We will split the rewards, including the mermaid tears, 30-70.
"Brother Zhao will get 30% of the cut while the other 70% will be split amongst the remaining five of us, and if we're able to enter the palace in the depths of the lake, it'll be every man for themselves."
Chen Yilin summarized.
"Brother Zhao is only one person and gets 30%, while we have five people and only get 70%."
Jiang Fan seemed to be dissatisfied.
It seemed that Zhao Feng had the biggest advantage.
"Hahaha. You guys take 70%? And I need to give you all fifty pieces of Purple Scaled Grass on top of that?"
Hearing that suggestion, Zhao Feng laughed.
Putting aside the 30-70 split, it was extremely difficult for normal geniuses to obtain more than a dozen pieces of Purple Scaled Grass, and they needed to put their life on the line just to do so.
Furthermore, Chen Yilin went on to suggest that the rewards in the palace were to be split according to their own abilities.
"Brother Zhao, you're alone. Don't try to be too greedy."
Chen Yilin's eyebrows furrowed.
"That's right, there are many powerful beasts and mermaid experts that need to be dealt with."
The other Core disciples agreed.
Zhao Feng snickered coldly and shook his head.
"Then what does Junior Martial Brother suggest?"
Chen Yilin wasn't happy, but he needed the help of Zhao Feng's army. Gathering so much Purple Scaled Grass by themselves would not only be a waste of time, it would be extremely difficult and dangerous as well.
"You need to give me treasures of equivalent value for the Purple Scaled Grass, the treasures we find will be split according to our own abilities, and all the treasures that my army gives me shall be mine alone."
Zhao Feng said decisively.
Chen Yilin and company were obviously unwilling. After all, Zhao Feng had a large number of beasts under his control, so he would definitely obtain more than 90% of the treasures.
On the surface of the Purple Smoke Lake, Zhao Feng and Chen Yilin discussed together for a while, but they came to no result.
"Ridiculous!"
Chen Yilin waved his hand and left with the other Core disciples.
The nearby disciples from other forces were surprised. It was obvious that the cooperation had failed.
Zhao Feng was emotionless. He controlled his army and slowly pushed toward the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake.
The number of Purple Scaled Grass stalks in his possession was still increasing.
A couple hours later, the amount of Purple Scaled Grass he had obtained in total had reached a hundred pieces. Subtracting the forty pieces that he had already eaten, there were still sixty pieces left, but the Purple Scaled Grass no longer had much effect on Zhao Feng, and it couldn't strengthen his defensive Water bloodline any further.
At this moment, Zhao Feng placed more importance on trying to attack the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake.
The deeper he went, the stronger the beasts in the lake.
Zhao Feng was losing some of the weaker beasts in his army, but some of the stronger ones went into action. However, Zhao Feng's progress was somewhat slow since the resistance was quite strong.
The deeper he went in the Purple Smoke Lake, the more beasts there were. The strength of the beasts that Zhao Feng faced was stronger than his own army, and his Dark Heart Seal couldn't be used indefinitely.
Half a day later, a powerful aura surged from in front.
Boom!
A water monster appeared. It was the size of a small mountain and had countless tentacles, and it opened its mouth and crushed toward Zhao Feng.
"Water monster!"
Zhao Feng was surprised.
The water monster was extremely big, and its battle-power was close to a half-step King.
Under normal situations, his army would be crushed by this enormous water monster.
"Eye of Ice Soul!"
Zhao Feng couldn't hide his strength anymore. He opened his eye-bloodline, and a chilling coldness enveloped the water monster's soul, making it slow down.
"Dark Heart Seal!"
Zhao Feng's blue hair blew around as a powerful source of eye-bloodline Soul power was released from his left eye and passed into the water monster's soul.
Amongst the waves, the enormous water monster froze, then it started to struggle.
"The strength of this water monster is similar to the limitless ocean whale from back then. If I fight it head-on, my losses will be big."
Zhao Feng couldn't retreat, so he had to try to control it.
However, the state of existence of the water monster was extremely strong, so Zhao Feng's Dark Heart Seal met strong resistance.
A couple breaths later, Zhao Feng's Dark Heart Seal ended in failure, but he didn't give up. He used a second eye-bloodline technique.
"Eye of Illusion!"
The consciousness of the water monster was transported. A couple breaths later, the water monster's resistance became weaker.
Within the Eye of Illusion, Zhao Feng had tortured it for several days and nights.
"Dark Heart Seal!"
Zhao Feng then used his eye-bloodline Soul technique once more.
This time, the water monster didn't fight back much. It was easily enslaved by Zhao Feng.
Hu~~
Zhao Feng let out a breath. This tentacled water monster was now the strongest beast he controlled.
Under normal situations, it would be hard for several Sovereign Lords to even defeat this water monster, let alone control it.
With this water monster in his army, Zhao Feng's speed increased slightly. Normal beasts would retreat when they saw the water monster.
Of course, Zhao Feng usually made the tentacled water monster hide in the bottom of the lake so it could act as a trump card.
After pushing forward for another couple dozen miles, Zhao Feng managed to enslave two large water snakes that had ancient bloodlines.
The battle-power of the two water snakes was at least comparable to the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm – more or less comparable to Brother Jiu from before.
At this moment, Zhao Feng's army had become much stronger.
"One tentacled water monster, two water snakes, dozens of ancient crocodiles…"
Zhao Feng estimated.
The number of beasts he had in his army now exceeded one thousand.
Six- or seven-hundred of them were Yao fish whose battle-power was comparable to the half-step Origin Core Realm.
Apart from the ancient crocodiles, there were also a few other creatures with unique abilities and strong battle-power.
"I can try to go toward the Mermaid Kingdom now."
Zhao Feng's second part of the plan was complete.
Apart from the Mermaid Kingdom, his army wasn't scared of anything else.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of stepping on water sounded from ten miles behind the army.
More than a dozen Sacred Land geniuses appeared, most of whom had evil and wicked auras. The one-armed Brother Jiu was amongst them.
"Brother Tu, that brat's army is ahead."
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said with hatred.
The leader was a bald male with black-colored scales. He looked like a demon who had killed many people.

Chapter 644 – Battling One of the Top Ten Geniuses
"Brother Tu, that brat's army is ahead."
There were more than a dozen people in this group, and the geniuses from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan were the leaders.
The one-armed Brother Jiu was amongst them.
The gaze of the people nearby landed on the large giant with black scales.
"Tu Jiuseng, one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land."
More than a dozen miles away, the expressions of Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and the other disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan changed.
Tu Jiuseng came from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, and his cultivation had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.
He was one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land. In addition, his father was the Void God Realm King Tu Wanli.
"Hmm? Jiu Motai found reinforcements so quickly?"
A Core disciple of the Mystic True Sacred Clan snickered coldly.
Tu Jiuseng and his group were chasing Zhao Feng from behind. It was obvious they didn't have good intentions.
"If my guess is right, Tu Jiuseng will definitely try to kill Zhao Feng."
Chen Yilin's eyes twinkled.
Several months ago, Tu Jiuseng's father, Tu Wanli, lost face in front of Emperor Duanmu's Void God Projection, all because of Zhao Feng. Now, Zhao Feng had injured a disciple from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, and he had many treasures in his possession.
"Brother Tu, that Zhao Feng probably has more than a hundred stalks of Purple Scaled Grass and a bunch of other precious treasures."
Brother Jiu licked his lips.
"I'll go over and capture him. I'll take control of his army as well."
A cruel smile appeared on Tu Jiuseng's face.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Right at this moment, Zhao Feng seemed to sense something and turned around.
He had unique beasts in his army that were responsible for scouting.
In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Spiritual Sense was heavily restricted, and normal Great Origin Core Realms could only detect things up to a hundred yards. The Purple Smoke Lake suppressed one's senses even more.
Tu Jiuseng and company were detected by Zhao Feng as soon as they got within ten miles of him.
"Tu Jiuseng… one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land. He's extremely dominating and deadly…."
Zhao Feng murmured.
Dong Wenjian had introduced the top ten geniuses as well as the quasi top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land to him before the Demigod Forgotten Garden opened.
"Get ready to fight!"
Zhao Feng laughed coldly. His thoughts split into twenty or thirty and gave orders to the entire army.
On the surface of the water, under the water, and in the depths of the water, Zhao Feng's army was spread around, awaiting Tu Jiuseng and company's arrival. Amongst them, a third of his troops appeared on the surface, while the stronger ones hid below.
"Brat named Zhao, give me a hundred pieces of Purple Scaled Grass."
Tu Jiuseng's dominating voice sounded as an ancient demonic aura swept through the area.
Zhao Feng's Yao fishes started to tremble.
"What a terrifying Demonic Dao bloodline. This Tu Jiuseng's mental energy is not weaker than someone at the half-step Void God Realm."
Zhao Feng felt pressured.
This was the first opponent who could give him such an obvious pressure.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tu Jiuseng charged from in front of the more than a dozen geniuses. Three of them had reached the Sovereign Lord rank.
"Divine Chaotic Technique!"
A Sovereign Lord genius who specialized in the Dao of the Soul screeched, sending a piercing howl into the soul-dimension.
Gods and demons seemed to howl within the soul-dimension, and Zhao Feng's troops in the water panicked. The minds of some Yao fishes even shattered.
"Not good!"
Zhao Feng's expression changed dramatically. There was someone in Tu Jiuseng's group who specialized in the soul.
At this moment, Zhao Feng lost 70% of his control over his army.
Apart from that, Brother Jiu and another genius controlled their ghost-corpse skeletons and some flying beasts that numbered one or two hundred and made them charge toward Zhao Feng's army.
"Hehe, that Tu Jiuseng's not only deadly, he's also extremely cunning."
Chen Yilin and company followed quietly from behind.
"We just need to wait until Zhao Feng's forced into a desperate situation and begs us to help. At that time, we'll have the initiative in the negotiation."
Jiang Fan's face was cold. All they needed to do right now was wait for Zhao Feng's defeat.
Tu Jiuseng's group unleashed lightning-quick attacks that made Zhao Feng's army break out into chaos while Tu Jiuseng himself charged from the front toward Zhao Feng.
Capture the leader first.
Tu Jiuseng's tactic was the same as Brother Jiu's earlier, but his strength was much greater. The other members of the group were also extremely strong as they stalled Zhao Feng's army.
"You better kneel to me right now!"
Tu Jiuseng roared as a thick demonic aura spread throughout a hundred yards.
Boom!
The faint figure of a flaming demonic dragon could be seen with the thrusting of his palm. The mere remnants of its power killed some nearby beasts. Even two ancient crocodiles were slain despite their extremely strong defenses.
"Break!"
Zhao Feng jumped into the air and thrusted out a palm. Lightning crackled and wind howled as a dragon of purple Wind Lightning appeared in the air and radiated an aura of Destruction.
Bam!
The two attacks clashed in the air. Demonic flames spewed everywhere while wind and lightning exploded.
The chaotic shockwave turned all the living beings nearby into powder.
"Luckily, I chose to fight in the air."
Zhao Feng's figure flashed as he retreated. Dark purple scales appeared on his skin, and he was unharmed.
On the other hand, Tu Jiuseng stood stone-still.
Although Tu Jiuseng had the slight advantage, Zhao Feng wasn't injured either.
"Brat, your strength isn't too bad. You can actually block 60% of my full strength."
Tu Jiuseng smiled. As soon as he finished his sentence, his demonic figure crushed over.
Zhao Feng's heart jumped. Tu Jiuseng's battle-power was enough to handle one or two normal Death Guards.
"Come!"
Seeing Tu Jiuseng approach, Zhao Feng charged forward instead of retreating.
Weng~
The Purple Destruction True Yuan in Zhao Feng's Crystal Core was circulated to the limit, and his body released an ancient aura. It was as if he had become a desolate beast as he faced Tu Jiuseng.
Boom!
Explosions sounded in the air and created enormous shockwaves.
The shockwaves from Zhao Feng's and Tu Jiuseng's attacks made Brother Jiu and company unable to approach
"So, this is that brat's true strength?"
Brother Jiu was shocked. Even he didn't have the strength to clash head-on with Tu Jiuseng.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Zhao Feng and Tu Jiuseng fought with their bodies amidst roaring waves as they exchanged more than a dozen palms.
With a loud explosion, the two figures separated.
Boom!
Zhao Feng's figure was pushed back dozens of yards, and part of his dark purple scales were broken, but a dark blue ripple of water quickly healed him.
On the other side:
Teng! Teng! Teng!
Tu Jiuseng's figure was forced back, and he suppressed the blood in his body. There were a couple scorch marks on his body.
"The strength of this Zhao Feng's body is terrifying, and it's extremely hard to break through his defense."
Tu Jiuseng's expression finally changed.
His body and bloodline specialized in close combat, but he was somehow at a disadvantage.
In terms of offense, he was stronger than Zhao Feng, but the latter's defense was stronger than his.
On top of that, his recovery speed wasn't as fast as Zhao Feng's. The injuries created by Zhao Feng's Purple Destruction Wind Lightning were extremely difficult to heal, whereas Zhao Feng's Water bloodline's recovery speed was extremely quick.
"Arghh!"
"Arghhh!"
Screams came from the group.
Boom! Boom!
Powerful beasts one after another emerged from the bottom of the lake. Amongst them, two large water snakes opened their mouths and gulped down one genius each.
Zhao Feng's true subordinates had been hiding in the depths of the lake.
"Fighting Tu Jiuseng and controlling his army at the same time…."
Brother Jiu and the other Soul Dao genius were both stunned.
However, what happened next made the others shout out in shock.
Booom!
With a large crashing wave, a gigantic tentacled monster appeared from a whirlpool.
"What!?"
Tentacles slapped toward Tu Jiuseng, who had only just managed to stabilize himself.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Tu Jiuseng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as his body wavered amidst the water monster's attacks.
"Hmph!"
Zhao Feng snickered coldly, but he didn't enter the battle. Instead, he summoned the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and controlled the army to reap the lives of the rest of the geniuses.
Tu Jiuseng's group had transformed from predator to prey in an instant as they were surrounded by the army.
Being one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land, Tu Jiuseng's battle-power was extremely strong, so he still managed to fight out a path in his current state as he beat the tentacled water monster until it started to bleed and scream in pain.
"As expected of a top-ten genius of the Sacred Land."
Seeing that, Zhao Feng condensed his eye-bloodline power into the form of a sharp spike.
"Mental Energy Spike!"
A cold, ice-blue spike pierced into Tu Jiuseng's soul.
"Arghh!"
Tu Jiuseng screamed out in pain as cold sweat appeared on his forehead. His face was twisted in agony, and his eyes went red.
Mental Energy Spike was a pure Soul attack that Zhao Feng had comprehended not long ago.
When the soul-strength of two people were similar, the one who had more mastery over the soul had the advantage when using the Mental Energy Spike. If one's soul-strength was stronger than the other's, the damage caused would be extremely devastating.
Tu Jiuseng didn't expect this, and his soul was instantly injured by the Mental Energy Spike.
"Retreat!"
Tu Jiuseng suppressed the pain in his soul as he retreated with seven or eight remaining geniuses.
Almost half of the group had died.
"That Tu Jiuseng's battle-power is too great. Even the tentacled water monster can't take him down."
Zhao Feng slowly gathered his army.
He lost two or three hundred beasts in this fight, but most of them were just Yao fishes, who were extremely weak.
Almost half of them had died because of Tu Jiuseng. From this, one could see how strong one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land was. Furthermore, Tu Jiuseng's strength wasn't even ranked highly amongst the top ten.
Elsewhere around the Purple Smoke Lake, only a small number of geniuses were able to witness the fight because the area where they fought was close to the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake.
"Even Tu Jiuseng lost to him!?"
A few disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan exclaimed in disbelief.
They didn't expect Zhao Feng to be such a huge dark horse.
"This Zhao Feng's soul-strength and mastery of the Soul Dao has already exceeded most of the top ten geniuses. Tu Jiuseng and I could most likely win against him in a one-on-one situation, but in this environment, most likely not."
Chen Yilin took a deep breath as his expression was replaced with wariness and solemnness.
The strength that Zhao Feng displayed was completely comparable to the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Clan, and this environment was perfect for him.

Chapter 645 - Mermaid Tears
Zhao Feng reorganized his troops since he lost so many in the fight just now.
The total number of his forces had fallen under a thousand, but Zhao Feng wasn't very concerned about that, so he wasn't in a rush to replenish them.
The deeper he went in the Purple Smoke Lake, the more powerful beasts he would face.
"The next step is to head toward the Mermaid Kingdom. No matter how many troops I have, it won't be enough to fight against the Mermaid Kingdom, so I can only choose the path of elites."
Zhao Feng's expression was calm.
Instead of increasing the number of his troops, he replenished his army with stronger beasts.
Zhao Feng wanted to contain his troops within three to five hundred or even less. The more troops he had, the more likely it was he would raise the attention of the Mermaid Kingdom's upper echelon.
Just as Zhao Feng was slowly progressing:
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of urgent footsteps came from behind.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhao!"
The voice of Chen Yilin came from several miles away.
Zhao Feng wasn't surprised. He halted the army.
Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and a few others arrived in front of Zhao Feng.
"Senior Martial Brother Chen, Senior Martial Brothers and Sisters, is there something you need?"
Zhao Feng asked.
He had already noticed them a long time ago.
"Brother Zhao, we should work together toward the Mermaid Kingdom. We'll split everything before the palace 70-30; you get 70% and we get 30%."
Chen Yilin spoke. This time, his tone was honest.
"Okay, but I have a requirement."
Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.
With Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company's help, Zhao Feng's speed would be much faster.
He didn't dare to underestimate the strength of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land.
Jiang Fan had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, so he was also not to be looked down on.
"Brother Zhao, you can say what your requirement is."
Chen Yilin's face was calm, and none of other disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan showed any signs of dissatisfaction. After all, just a moment ago, Zhao Feng had defeated more than a dozen people, including Tu Jiuseng. His strength shook the hearts of others.
That battle had caused Zhao Feng's name to spread.
On top of his own strength, Zhao Feng also had his army of water beasts.
"All of you need to listen to me before we reach the palace."
Zhao Feng said, and the other six Core disciples looked at each other when they heard that.
Zhao Feng wanted the power to order the other Core disciples around.
If this was in the past, this would definitely not happen because the Core disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan had a lot of strength and pride.
"Okay."
Chen Yilin's eyes twinkled as he gave Zhao Feng a deep glance.
Zhao Feng had gone straight for the Purple Smoke Lake the moment he entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden and had, step by step, come to rule the Purple Smoke Lake.
And now, he was closing in on the Mermaid Kingdom.
From that, one could see he had a plan from the start, and maybe even some sort of method to obtain resources from the Mermaid Kingdom.
"Let's go."
Zhao Feng controlled the army and headed toward the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake with Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company.
With their help, Zhao Feng's speed increased dramatically.
On the way, there were some powerful beasts, but they were easily finished off by Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan. Zhao Feng didn't even need to do anything.
Chen Yilin's strength was probably on par with Tu Jiuseng's. He could kill some Sovereign Lord beasts in just one move.
Jiang Fan was even more unique. When he released the bloodline aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, some beasts didn't even dare to resist.
Just the aura of the legendary Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline could make beasts run away.
Therefore, the journey was extremely smooth, and Zhao Feng used this chance to have the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array devour many Sovereign and Sovereign Lord beasts.
Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company listened to Zhao Feng's command, and the latter didn't use them for free. He gave out ten pieces of Purple Scaled Grass and made their auras more compatible with the Purple Smoke Lake.
Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan both wanted more Purple Scaled Grass, but Zhao Feng required them to give items of equivalent value.
Zhao Feng's army didn't stop gathering the nearby resources and treasures either, and everything was split 70-30. Zhao Feng alone took up 70% of the treasures while the other six split the remaining 30%.
Half a day later, some of the scouts in Zhao Feng's army finally found traces of mermaids.
"They've appeared."
Zhao Feng's eyes lit up. He could share vision with anything controlled by his Dark Heart Seal.
Mermaids were the same as the legends. Their upper body and head were the same as a human, but their lower half was a fish tail.
The female mermaids were extremely pretty.
"Scatter."
Zhao Feng ordered his army to scatter throughout an area of ten miles so that it wouldn't raise much attention.
"Brother Zhao, we're at the Mermaid Kingdom now. Let's try to gather some mermaid tears, then scout out the situation before heading toward the palace."
Chen Yilin suggested. They needed to listen to Zhao Feng before they reached the palace.
"My thoughts are the exact same as Brother Chen's."
Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
After all, the palace had been guarded by the mermaids for generations, so they would definitely raise the attention of the mermaid upper echelon if they tried anything. However, they could gather mermaid tears stealthily.
"Go."
Zhao Feng's mind split into a couple dozen thoughts and controlled many small beasts that entered the Mermaid Kingdom.
The beasts he sent specialized in stealth, camouflage, and disguise.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of battle came from ahead.
"Mermaids!"
Chen Yilin's senses were extremely strong, so he noticed that some mermaids were fighting with Zhao Feng's subordinates.
This was the first time many of the Core disciples had ever seen mermaids.
Zhao Feng raised his hand and stopped them.
"Dark Heart Seal!"
Zhao Feng used a soul technique from miles away, and the battle ahead instantly stopped.
A few mermaids soon arrived in front of them and bowed at Zhao Feng's feet.
The cultivation of these mermaids had reached the half-step Origin Core Realm.
Chen Yilin and company inspected them and started to talk.
"Mermaids are extremely intelligent and have a certain talent in souls. The Dark Heart Seal is much harder to use on them."
Zhao Feng's heart jumped.
He had gathered a lot of information about mermaids.
Zhao Feng then interacted with these mermaids through the Dark Heart Seal.
Normal mermaids didn't know how to speak to humans, but apparently, some upper echelon mermaids could.
Some time later:
"Head northwest."
Zhao Feng suddenly said.
The eyes of Chen Yilin and company lit up. Zhao Feng must have found where the mermaid tears were located.
The group headed toward the depths of the Mermaid Kingdom. In order to not attract attention, Zhao Feng scattered the army – mainly the bigger ones – across the edges of the Mermaid Kingdom and only took some of the smaller beasts that specialized in detection and stealth with him.
They met some mermaids on the way, but they were either slain by Chen Yilin and company or enslaved by Zhao Feng.
At this point, Zhao Feng had enslaved dozens of mermaids. Four of them were at the Origin Core Realm while the rest were at the True Spirit Realm.
They finally found some mermaid tears in front of some coral more than a dozen miles away.
The dark depths of the lake glittered with pure mermaid tears of different sizes.
In the darkness, the mermaid tears stood out.
Zhao Feng could sense a pure source of Soul aura and love from extremely far away.
"So, those are mermaid tears? Apparently, they come from the tears of mermaids who are full of love, and the tears contain their purest love intent. That power can cleanse the soul and help one comprehend the intent of the Void God Realm."
"A single drop of mermaid tears needs five hundred years to form."
The group sighed and watched silently.
Ancient records stated that the love of a mermaid never faded.
The genius of the Sacred Land several thousand years ago had first been captured by mermaids before falling in love with the Mermaid Princess and obtaining a chance to enter the palace.
"Let's start."
Zhao Feng made some mermaids gather the mermaid tears.
Although these mermaids had been enslaved by Zhao Feng, they started to instinctively cry with sadness.
Chen Yilin and company watched silently without moving.
Firstly, the treasures were to be given mainly to Zhao Feng anyway, and secondly, there was a mysterious mental energy in the mermaid tears that radiated a pure and innocent love. Under this aura, their souls seemed to be cleaned, and the desire to kill within their souls became weaker.
"Mermaids are a species that have a certain amount of talent in the Dao of the Soul, and the upper echelon of the mermaids are mainly female. Therefore, the mental energy in their tears have an incredible effect."
Zhao Feng nodded his head.
The amount of power contained within a single mermaid tear wasn't very much. It wasn't even more than a high-grade Primal Crystal Stone, but it wasn't precious because of the amount of power – it was precious because of its ability to cleanse the soul, and coincidentally, this type of power was something that most cultivators didn't have.
The handful of mermaid tears was soon gathered, and Zhao Feng immediately went to the next place.
The mermaids within ten miles were either killed or enslaved by Zhao Feng, and suddenly, part of the forbidden area that was the Mermaid Kingdom seemed to become Zhao Feng's territory.
In such a situation, Zhao Feng easily gathered dozens of mermaid tears.
This number had already exceeded the total amount gathered in the past four or five openings of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
In the past, only a very small number of people had been able to gather mermaid tears.
Most of the geniuses set their targets on the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, the Hundred Flower Garden, the Demigod Grave, and other places.
In terms of the number of treasures, the Purple Smoke Lake didn't have as much as the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. In terms of precious resources, the Hundred Flower Garden was bigger.
Furthermore, the Mermaid Kingdom was extremely strong.
"We've gathered about enough mermaid tears."
Zhao Feng stopped finding more.
He had enslaved many mermaids, and Chen Yilin and company had killed a few as well. The upper echelon of the Mermaid Kingdom would soon catch on.
Zhao Feng gave Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan two drops of mermaid tears each, the others received one each, and he kept about twenty himself.
The others had no suggestions about that, and some of them even tried using the mermaid tears immediately.

Chapter 646 - Honey Trap
"I wonder… how's the effect of a mermaid tear?"
Zhao Feng found that two of the Core disciples had entered a profound state, radiating an aura of mental energy.
The mermaid tears in their hands glowed with a light that covered their bodies.
A while later, the two Core disciples opened their eyes – they were pure and clear. Their soul had been cleansed, and their auras had changed slightly.
Although their cultivation didn't change, Zhao Feng knew that their souls had strengthened.
One had to know that comprehending the intent of the Void God Realm relied on the soul. This was why mermaid tears helped one understand the Void God Realm.
Of course, that effect didn't mean the chances of being able to break through would definitely increase. Only the Illusion God Wine had such an effect. However, for those under the half-step Void God Realm, mermaid tears were quite useful.
"As one's soul strengthens, one's total power will also increase in the future."
Zhao Feng sighed as he suddenly remembered someone – Xin Wuheng.
Amongst all the geniuses he had ever seen, Xin Wuheng had the lowest talent, and yet Xin Wuheng's intent and soul had reached an unfathomable level.
Even now, Zhao Feng couldn't see through Xin Wuheng's intent.
"Let's try it."
Zhao Feng took out a few mermaid tears and slowly closed his eyes.
The music of the ancient mermaids seemed to sound in his ears.
There was a mixture of sweetness, bitterness, sourness, spice, and pain. All of it was extremely pure as it appeared in Zhao Feng's heart.
Zhao Feng's heart seemed to undergo the passage of time.
Pain, sadness, love, and beauty washed Zhao Feng's soul.
Mermaids were a mysterious ancient species that rarely cried. Only those with unparalleled love did so.
Each and every mermaid tear represented a mermaid's love.
Under such pure mental energy, Zhao Feng's soul became clearer.
A memory suddenly flashed through his mind.
When he was young, an elegant young girl in purple with clear eyes appeared.
It was a purple figure who always watched from behind.
After seeing her again, the two hugged. They were as close as neighbors.
Shua!
The scene changed once more.
Ridiculous scenes flashed through Zhao Feng's mind. Helplessness, sadness, disappointment.
A quiet girl dressed in white suddenly appeared in his mind. She seemed to be a goddess from a painting.
"So… I once had it too."
Zhao Feng's soul became purer, and the lake in his left eye's dimension glittered. Each and every drop of water was extremely clear.
In just a short while, Zhao Feng's soul was cleansed.
Although his soul didn't become stronger, it became clearer.
The appearance of his soul even appeared in his mind.
"This is me?"
Zhao Feng had a better understanding of himself. Then, he returned to reality.
An hour later, Zhao Feng had used almost ten drops of mermaid tears.
By the end, his heart was as calm as water.
"Brother Zhao, the situation's not good; the Mermaid Kingdom seems to have found our tracks."
Chen Yilin's voice sounded.
Zhao Feng opened his eyes. A faint multicolored light in his eyes quickly faded, and his eyes became as clear as crystal.
"Being found was just a matter of time."
Zhao Feng wasn't surprised. He figured out the situation by using his subordinates that were scattered around nearby.
They had killed and enslaved many mermaids. The Mermaid Kingdom would've found out sooner or later regardless.
"We need to move before the upper echelon of the Mermaid Kingdom catches on."
Chen Yilin's voice was urgent, but the expression of the blue-haired youth in front of him didn't change. His eyes were still clear.
"They've only lost track of a couple mermaids; the upper echelon isn't going to do anything right away. According to what I know, the Mermaid King has been in seclusion for the past ten years."
Zhao Feng said slowly.
Right now, there were two options in front of them:
One; retreat. They had already gained a lot. Especially Zhao Feng – he had gathered a massive amount of treasures and resources.
Two; try to enter the palace.
The second choice was extremely dangerous. They might face the pursuit of the entire Mermaid Kingdom, or even a King.
"Zhao Feng, do you have any methods at all?"
Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask.
Chen Yilin's eyes twinkled. Their progress so far had been extremely smooth. Everything seemed to be in Zhao Feng's control.
"It's really easy. Just think about what happened with the person who successfully entered the palace back then."
Zhao Feng smiled.
Back then?
Of course, they all knew. Several thousand years ago, that Sacred Land genius fell in love with the Mermaid Princess and entered the palace with her help.
"According to what I know, the current princess is extremely beautiful, and most importantly, she hasn't found a lover yet."
Zhao Feng said.
"Zhao Feng, you're not suggesting we repeat what happened back then, right?"
Chen Yilin rolled his eyes.
"Mermaids are intelligent. How could the same trick possibly work again?"
"Last time, it only happened out of luck. It would be hard to replicate."
"Furthermore, who amongst us is the Mermaid Princess supposed to fall for? How much of a risk will they have to undergo?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Mermaids weren't retarded. They wouldn't be fooled the same way twice.
"Hehe, who said that it won't work again? We have someone amongst us who can do it."
Zhao Feng laughed lightly and spoke confidently.
"Who? Who has the ability to make the Mermaid Princess instantly fall in love?"
Everyone looked at each other. None of them were extremely handsome.
"That person is you."
Zhao Feng smiled as his gaze landed on Jiang Fan.
"Ahhh!"
Jiang Fan tripped and almost started to curse.
This was just horrendous.
"Brother Zhao, this isn't a game. What do you have in mind?"
Chen Yilin said.
In terms of looks, Jiang Fan was extremely normal. He was even worse than Zhao Feng.
"It's like this," Zhao Feng paused for a moment before explaining, "mermaids like those who are strong, and they very much admire those with noble bloodlines. Brother Jiang has a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, and according to the enslaved mermaids, the current princess is extremely arrogant; she doesn't even put the bloodline geniuses of the same species in her eyes….
"En… simply put, this princess likes people who are strong and have noble bloodlines."
Zhao Feng summarized.
Hearing that, the other Core disciples revealed understanding expressions.
"No… no, no, no!"
Jiang Fan resisted. This method didn't sound very promising.
Chen Yilin's eyebrows furrowed. This method was a bit tricky.
Firstly, the risk was too big.
Secondly, the princess falling in love still relied on coincidence and luck.
"Listen to my plan…"
Zhao Feng's voice suddenly lowered.
Suddenly, Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan heard Zhao Feng's voice in their minds.
"You're really that confident?"
Chen Yilin asked, and Jiang Fan's expression became a bit calmer.
"There's a 90% success rate. If you guys don't agree, then let's just go back."
Zhao Feng said decisively.
"Okay."
Jiang Fan decided to give it his all.
If he didn't agree, they would lose the chance to enter the palace at the bottom of the lake.
A while later, Jiang Fan was "captured" by several mermaids.
Four Origin Core Realm mermaids guarded Jiang Fan, and there were several other mermaids nearby, including a pretty female mermaid.
"How dare this outsider call the Mermaid Princess names!? Send him to the Mermaid Princess's palace."
Zhao Feng ordered through one of the enslaved mermaids.
The pretty female mermaid knew the Mermaid Princess and promised to send the spoils-of-war Jiang Fan into the Mermaid Kingdom.
All of this was in Zhao Feng's calculations.
Jiang Fan was sent to the Mermaid Princess's palace.
On the way, a large number of mermaids watched curiously, but nothing happened.
In their eyes, humans were rare spoils of war, and they had nothing against sending spoils of war to the Mermaid Princess's palace. After all, nothing unusual had been reported to the upper echelon yet.
Through the enslaved mermaids, Zhao Feng could see and hear what was happening, but the other Mystic True Sacred Clan disciples couldn't see or hear anything.
In the Mermaid Princess's palace:
"Human? Spoils of war?"
A stunning beauty lay lazily on the bed, and her eyes flashed with interest when she heard that.
Indeed, in their eyes, humans were rare. Even the Mermaid Princess was curious.
"Send him over to me."
The Mermaid Princess was full of curiosity.
The human-and-mermaid love story from several thousand years ago had become a forbidden topic, but the more forbidden something was, the more curious she was.
Jiang Fan was bound, and he was soon sent to the Mermaid Princess.
"You are a human?"
The Mermaid Princess touched Jiang Fan's body from top to bottom, and when she touched a certain part of his lower body, Jiang Fan's body froze. His face went red as he cursed Zhao Feng in his heart.
However, he was also slightly hopeful. It wouldn't be too bad to have a romantic relationship with this gorgeous mermaid. After all, ever since his bloodline had been discovered, he had been cultivating non-stop. Although he was already twenty-something years old, he was still a virgin who never had a relationship.
Thinking up to there, he released a slight aura of his bloodline.
"Hmm? Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline?"
The Mermaid Princess felt her bloodline tremble and was shocked. Her pair of eyes was filled with respect and twinkling stars.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel smug. A bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races was indeed different.
Mermaid princess? Easy peasy.
However, what the Mermaid Princess said next made him fall into the abyss:
"Haha, you must be a spy from the humans here to seduce me.
"Hmph, you want to use the same trick again? What kind of retard thought of this plan?"
Jiang Fan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Chapter 647 - Mermaid King
The Mermaid Princess saw straight through Jiang Fan's honey trap, and her eyes were full of smugness and playfulness.
"What kind of retard thought of this plan?"
Jiang Fan was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He cursed Zhao Feng thousands of times in his heart.
Before they left, Zhao Feng had confidently said that Jiang Fan had a high chance of winning her love with his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.
"Hehe, Zhao Feng?"
A cunning expression appeared on the Mermaid Princess's gorgeous face.
"How… how do you know that!?"
Jiang Fan exclaimed.
How did this Mermaid Princess know Zhao Feng?
"Could it be…?"
Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat.
He thought of a possibility. Could it be that Zhao Feng and the Mermaid Princess had planned this together?
If that was true, then everything made sense. How else could the Mermaid Princess see past his honey trap right away?
"Zhao Feng!"
Jiang Fan gritted his teeth as flames of anger burned through his heart.
Weng~~
A thick layer of black skin appeared on Jiang Fan's body. It seemed to be scale-like and shell-like, and it made him seem like a desolate beast.
Crack!
Jiang Fan spread his arms, and his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline destroyed the chains binding him.
"As expected of a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races…."
The Mermaid Princess, who had reached the Great Origin Core Realm, felt a heavy pressure on her bloodline and instinctively trembled.
It was as if she was a tiny fish facing a desolate beast.
"I'll take you down first."
Jiang Fan raised his hand and leapt toward the Mermaid Princess.
However, it was as if the Mermaid Princess knew what he was going to do. She flicked her tail before Jiang Fan could do anything.
Whoosh!
The Mermaid Princess easily dodged Jiang Fan's grab.
"Where do you think you're running?"
Jiang Fan leapt toward her once more.
With his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, even though the princess had a middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm cultivation, she couldn't win.
However, he had forgotten one thing – the environment.
This was the Mermaid Kingdom, which was underwater.
In the water, his speed was heavily restricted. Besides, Jiang Fan's bloodline specialized in defense, not offense or speed.
"Hehehe, you can't hit me~~. Ayayayaya, help~~."
The Mermaid Princess was extremely childish.
In the Purple Smoke Lake, she had the advantage in speed. Even if the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land entered the Purple Smoke Lake, they wouldn't be as fast or as agile as her.
"Dammit!"
Jiang Fan was starting to feel despair now. He could sense the mermaid experts gathering.
"Run!"
Seeing that he was unable to take care of the Mermaid Princess, he tried to escape.
Whoosh!
The Mermaid Princess gently pushed out her hand, and a wave of dark blue sword-light smoothly shot toward Jiang Fan.
Bam!
A small bloody gash appeared on Jiang Fan's skin, but it quickly healed.
What strong defense!
The Mermaid Princess was slightly dazed. Her all-out attack couldn't even threaten Jiang Fan.
Zhao Feng, you bastard. I'm going to cut you into ten thousand pieces.
Jiang Fan cursed Zhao Feng as he ran.
"Zhao Feng? The retard who thought of using a honey trap?"
The Mermaid Princess was slightly surprised, and she seemed to be extremely interested. This Zhao Feng had actually managed to order someone with a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline around. He shouldn't be simple.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Fan felt that something was wrong. How could the Mermaid Princess know what he was thinking?
"Heart-reading technique?"
A murmur sounded.
"Hmph, retard. The mermaid imperials are all talented in the Dao of the Soul. Every Mermaid Princess has the ability to read what others are thinking."
The Mermaid Princess said proudly.
Read what others are thinking?
Jiang Fan's heart shook. How come there was no information about this?
If that's the case, how did that genius from the Sacred Land win the previous Mermaid Princess's heart?
"The reason why that genius succeeded last time was because he had a true heart. How else do you think he won the heart of the previous Mermaid Princess?"
The mockery on the Mermaid Princess's face became bigger.
"So that's how it is."
A murmur sounded in the soul-dimension, and the flow of water seemed to do nothing.
"Who- who's there!?"
The body of the Mermaid Princess froze as she sensed that there was a third person.
At the same moment, Jiang Fan looked up and exclaimed in shock, "That's…!"
The Mermaid Princess instinctively raised her head.
In the water above, an ice-blue eye coldly gazed down. It seemed to be one with Heaven, Earth, and the lake itself.
"Zhao… Zhao Feng!"
Jiang Fan felt as if he was being choked.
This eye was Zhao Feng's specialty.
"Dark Heart Seal!"
Mockery appeared in the eye as a forbidden cold intent travelled toward the Mermaid Princess.
"Not good!"
The Mermaid Princess wiggled her tail as she tried to struggle.
Being a Mermaid Princess, she was extremely talented in the Dao of the Soul. She had an ability like the heart reading technique the moment she was born.
Even though Zhao Feng's Dark Heart Seal was used in his current state and became much stronger because of it, there was still a lot of resistance.
If she struggled too much, the Mermaid Princess's soul could crumble.
This Zhao Feng has a terrifying Soul eye-bloodline. He's actually able to attack me from afar.
The Mermaid Princess felt the huge difference between herself and this person attacking her. In terms of Soul talent, the mysterious person attacking her was definitely more talented.
"Princess!"
"Help the princess!"
Cries came from nearby as many Sovereign Lord rank experts arrived.
"What are you staying still for?"
Zhao Feng's voice sounded in the soul-dimension.
Jiang Fan's figure flashed as he grabbed the Mermaid Princess by the throat.
"Release the princess!"
The mermaid experts froze. They looked at Jiang Fan with angry expressions.
The Mermaid Princess, whose throat was grasped by Jiang Fan, started to struggle less.
A breath or two later, the Mermaid Princess stopped struggling altogether and revealed utter obedience from her eyes.
Jiang Fan was extremely familiar with these changes.
Shua!
The Eye of Heaven above disappeared.
"Don't go!"
Jiang Fan felt uneasy, but the Mermaid Princess gave a cold order the next instant, "Make everyone leave."
"Princess!"
The nearby mermaid experts were shocked and puzzled, but the princess was in the hands of the enemy, and the order came from the princess herself. They had to obey.
Under the Mermaid Princess's orders, everyone opened a path for them.
"I'll commit suicide if anyone attacks."
A dagger appeared in the Mermaid Princess's hand with a numb expression on her face.
The hearts of the mermaid experts went cold. No one dared to stop them.
Jiang Fan was overjoyed as he left the Mermaid Princess's palace smoothly.
"Quick! Go tell the king!"
The experts started to discuss. A half-step Void God Realm King could tell that the Mermaid Princess had been taken control of. At this moment, she was just puppet that someone else was controlling.
At the same time, in a certain corner of the Mermaid Kingdom:
"Zhao Feng, how's the situation?"
Chen Yilin couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
"Did Brother Jiang's honey trap succeed?"
Everyone could feel that the Mermaid Kingdom had broken out into chaos, and the auras of the mermaid experts made them feel uneasy.
"Hehe, who said I was going to use a honey trap? The Mermaid Princess has been successfully kidnapped."
Zhao Feng laughed lightly.
Kidnap the Mermaid Princess?
The Core disciples were stunned. They couldn't help but take in a cold breath.
Zhao Feng was just too daring. He dared to hold the Mermaid Princess hostage?
Gulu~~
The sound of water flowing came from ahead.
Jiang Fan and the Mermaid Princess swam over, and Chen Yilin let out a breath before giving Zhao Feng a deep glance.
Zhao Feng's plan was the same as the genius of the Sacred Land from several thousand years ago – they both chose to use the Mermaid Princess as the breakthrough point.
Although the details were slightly different, the result was the same.
Several thousand years ago, the Sacred Land genius had won the Mermaid Princess's heart and was thus able to enter the palace at the depths of the lake, whereas Zhao Feng used his Soul technique to enslave the princess.
"Let's head toward the palace."
Zhao Feng ordered, and the group went straight into the depths of the Mermaid Kingdom.
On the way, the Mermaid Princess revealed absolute obedience. The experts of the Mermaid Kingdom didn't dare to stop them; they could only watch.
Half the time it took to make tea later, the group arrived at a palace at the bottom of the lake that was surrounded in dazzling green light.
"Open the door."
Zhao Feng said.
The Mermaid Princess came to the front gate of the palace and started to sing an ancient song of mermaids.
The song contained a mysterious Soul signal that connected with the palace.
"The Mermaid Princess has a unique status in the Mermaid Kingdom. The Mermaid Princess doesn't have to be the actual daughter of the king, but the person who has the most unique Soul talent among the imperials."
Zhao Feng learnt many secrets from the Mermaid Princess.
To a certain degree, the Mermaid Princess was like a Sacred Daughter of certain tribes. They were extremely important.
At the same time, the Mermaid Princess had a certain fate, which was related to her Soul talent and her inheritance.
"The fate of the Mermaid Princess is to connect with the Mermaid Divine Palace."
Zhao Feng's thoughts became clearer.
No wonder the genius from the Sacred Land back then could easily enter the Divine Palace with the help of the Mermaid Princess and obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine.
Weng~~
The door to the Mermaid Divine Palace slowly opened and released an ancient aura.
"Enter."
Zhao Feng made the Mermaid Princess lead the way.
As Zhao Feng and company were about to step into the Mermaid Divine Palace:
"Humans, give up."
The dominating voice of a King sounded in the soul-dimension. The souls and even the thoughts of the Mystic True Sacred Clan Core disciples froze.
The owner of the voice was the Mermaid King.
How could the Mermaid King do nothing while the Mermaid Princess was captured?
Of course, the Mermaid King was still in his palace; this was only his Void God intent.
"Mermaid King, your Void God intent can't kill me in one thought, but one thought of mine can kill the Mermaid Princess."
Zhao Feng remained calm. He wasn't as uneasy as Jiang Fan and company.
In his plan, he had obviously thought about the Mermaid King.

Chapter 648 - Demigod Winery
The Void God intent froze the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby, and some of the Mystic True Sacred Clan Core disciples felt their thoughts freeze. They couldn't even think about fighting back.
Even Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan felt uneasy.
It was hard to imagine how Zhao Feng, who was facing the Void God intent head-on, could be so calm.
"Human, you're courting death."
Shaking appeared in the soul-dimension as a Magnificent Power seemed to squeeze the space that Zhao Feng was in.
Zhao Feng's face was slightly red, and his body and bones started to screech. His knees were almost bent as he was almost forced to bow to the King.
However, Zhao Feng forcefully stopped himself.
In terms of state of existence, he was extremely close to a true King, and his body had been strengthened by the Ancient Dream Realm aura, the heart blood essence, and the Purple Scaled Grass.
Furthermore, Zhao Feng had withstood the pressure from the Ancient Dream Realm many times, and his body contained an ancient aura. Even Jiang Fan's bloodline aura wasn't able to suppress Zhao Feng's.
In a palace far away:
"This brat's soul has condensed to a level even stronger than normal half-step Kings…."
The expression of the Mermaid King became solemn.
A measly Small Origin Core Realm ant was actually able to withstand his King intent.
Zhao Feng's mastery in the Dao of the Soul was also extremely strong.
He had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which helped create a solid foundation for his breakthrough to the Void God Realm later on.
"Lord Father, please don't stop Master."
The Mermaid Princess cried and begged.
She obeyed Zhao Feng from the bottom of her heart due to the Dark Heart Seal. Although she still had emotions, her master was greater than everything else.
This was the most terrifying part about the Dark Heart Seal – it could enslave someone even in their heart and mind.
"Fucking human…!"
The Mermaid King clenched his fists and roared.
Being a Void God Realm King, when had he ever taken orders from a human ant?
Everyone below Kings were ants. This sentence had been recorded in ancient records.
Normal Origin Core Realms couldn't even block the intent of a Void God Realm King.
"'Everyone below Kings are ants…' is useless against me."
Zhao Feng snickered as he ordered the Mermaid Princess to lead the way.
The minds of Chen Yilin and company shook, and they followed behind like zombies.
"This Zhao Feng doesn't even have a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, and yet he's so strong. How is that possible?"
Jiang Fan felt defeated. The image of the Eye of Heaven descending appeared in his mind. The aura from that eye made even his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline feel uneasy.
"Human, if anything happens to my daughter, I will not forgive you!"
The Mermaid King roared.
"Mermaid King," Zhao Feng spoke, "as long as I achieve my goal, I will remove the soul restriction on her, but if you do anything, I can't guarantee it."
The Divine Sense of the Mermaid King scanned across the palace for a long time before stopping.
"That brat's eye-bloodline is not simple. Even someone with a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline listens to him."
The Mermaid King regained his calm.
From beginning till end, Zhao Feng didn't panic. It was obvious that this youth was prepared.
He didn't dare to stop them anymore. He watched with open eyes as Zhao Feng and company entered the Mermaid Divine Palace.
The Mermaid Divine Palace was a forbidden area for mermaids.
In the past, only Mermaid Princesses who had received the Divine Palace's inheritance could enter or else they would be killed by the intent of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
Even Kings would be slain since this intent was the god of this realm, lording over everything.
"There seems to be signs of other humans near the kingdom."
A mermaid expert reported.
Hmm?
The Mermaid King's face became grim as his Divine Sense instantly scanned across the entire Mermaid Kingdom.
As expected, he saw a group of people with wicked auras.
"Stop."
Tu Jiuseng at the very front suddenly waved his hand.
Even after being defeated, Tu Jiuseng didn't give up on the Purple Smoke Lake, especially after analyzing that Zhao Feng was probably thinking about obtaining treasures from the Mermaid Kingdom.
Therefore, Tu Jiuseng gathered many geniuses, including a bunch of beast tamers.
One of them was a Sovereign Lord rank genius who specialized in the Dao of the Soul, and after controlling a bunch of fish, he found traces of Zhao Feng and company, as well as what was happening within the Mermaid Kingdom.
"Brother Tu, what's happened?"
"That Zhao Feng's opening the path for us. Isn't this great?"
Everyone was moved.
After all, Zhao Feng was doing everything while all they did was gather treasures from behind. The risk was much lower.
Of course, they didn't know that the Mermaid King had already exited seclusion. After all, the Mermaid King had only used his Void God intent to clash with Zhao Feng and company. He didn't physically appear.
"It's probably just me. Let's continue."
Tu Jiuseng nodded his head.
A moment ago, his bloodline felt a pressure. It was as if someone was spying on him, but that sensation soon faded.
"These geniuses aren't simple."
The eyes of the Mermaid King twinkled.
From their conversation, it wasn't hard to tell that they weren't on Zhao Feng's side. On the contrary, they were enemies.
A planned soon formed. Why not let the two groups fight in the Divine Palace?
He wasn't too worried about the Mermaid Princess's safety. Not only would Zhao Feng not harm the Mermaid Princess, he would need to protect her. The Mermaid King was certain of that.
Furthermore, the Mermaid Princess was used to the Purple Smoke Lake, and her bloodline inheritance power gave her enough strength to fend for herself. Even though she was being controlled, it wasn't as if she was weak.
"Everyone, retreat more than twenty miles away from the Divine Palace."
The Mermaid King ordered.
Although he had seen Tu Jiuseng and company, he didn't really care.
On the way, Tu Jiuseng and company did their best to go around the heavily guarded areas as they headed toward the palace at the bottom of the lake.
"There's less resistance than I thought."
"Looks like that Zhao Feng is stalling most of the mermaids."
Tu Jiuseng and company felt slightly weird.
What was even more incredible was that the gate of the palace was wide open.
What happened to the Mermaid Kingdom?
Tu Jiuseng and company didn't understand, but since they were already at this step, they wouldn't retreat.
"That Zhao Feng didn't take his troops into the palace. That means that even if we meet, we can fight back."
A group of around ten people entered the palace.
The Mermaid King snickered coldly as he watched Tu Jiuseng and company enter the palace. If he didn't allow it, how could Tu Jiuseng and company be able to arrive here so easily?
"Hmm? There's another person? His strength isn't bad."
The Mermaid King's Divine Sense extended to the edges of the Mermaid Kingdom and found a figure.
The newcomer was the warm youth who had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.
"Looks like Zhao Feng's entered the Mermaid Kingdom."
The warm youth could feel which direction Zhao Feng was in by sensing the intent of Death.
Suddenly, the expression of the warm youth changed, "King intent?"
His senses were much sharper than Tu Jiuseng. The King within the Mermaid Kingdom made the warm youth wary.
"That should be the Mermaid King."
The warm youth stood still and didn't make any rash movements.
It seemed that the King intent didn't have any signs of enmity toward him and was only inspecting him.
"Zhao Feng, I'll let you live for a little longer."
The warm youth was motionless as he started to wait.
Back in the Mermaid Kingdom, Zhao Feng entered the legendary Mermaid Divine Palace with the Mermaid Princess's guidance.
The Mermaid Divine Palace was unexpectedly empty.
Apart from a few items of decoration, there was almost nothing else. However, as they went further in, they smelt a faint whiff of alcohol.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng's shoulder, and its eyes spun as it glanced toward the front.
Seeing that, Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel slightly expectant.
The little thieving cat's sense for treasure – especially spiritual wine – was extremely strong.
Miao!
The little thieving cat jumped onto the Mermaid Princess's shoulder and crossed its front legs, as if telling her who was boss.
"This cat…"
The Mermaid Princess couldn't help but look at the little thieving cat.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat waved its paws and pointed downward with a harrumph.
"You actually know that the alcohol is below?"
The Mermaid Princess was extremely surprised, and Chen Yilin and company gave the little thieving cat a couple more glances.
As expected, the Mermaid Princess took them to the underground wine cellar.
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye had already inspected the first level and confirmed there wasn't much apart from a few things relating to the mermaids' inheritance, which were useless for humans.
The smell of alcohol in the underground cellar was extremely enticing, and a few of the disciples felt their heads spin.
Looking closely, Zhao Feng saw that this underground cellar was even bigger than the first floor of the Divine Palace, and there was a large fountain in the middle of the cellar.
The fountain spanned twenty yards, and at the very middle of it was a crystal carving of a stunning female mermaid.
There were several hundred holes on the mermaid carving, and there was liquid coming out of them.
"Hmm?"
Everyone found that the female mermaid carving looked slightly similar to the Mermaid Princess, and Zhao Feng couldn't help but start to ponder.
The fountain had a rather unique construction, with pipes running throughout the entire underground cellar.
There were rows and rows of equipment in corners of the cellar. Some were made from metal, others from wood, porcelain, crystal, and other materials.
The cups and bottles were all seventy percent full, and the alcohol within would be re-made after a certain amount of time to make sure it was fresh and had its own uniqueness.
Of course, all of these cups and bottles were sealed within crystal cabinets.
"The entire underground cellar is a winery, with the mermaid at the center that keeps on making fresh alcohol."
The people from the Mystic True Sacred Clan couldn't help but click their tongues.
The entire underground cellar was a single entity that created more than a hundred rare types of alcohol.
"This is the private cellar of the Demigod?"
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Chapter 649 - Illusion God Wine
In the underground cellar of the Mermaid Divine Palace, the group from the Mystic True Sacred Clan was overfilled with joy. They suppressed their excitement as they looked at the mermaid fountain and the alcohol stored within the crystal cabinets.
"Are the legendary Immortal Springs Wine and Illusion God Wine here?"
Zhao Feng asked the Mermaid Princess.
The Mermaid Divine Palace was a forbidden area in the Mermaid Kingdom, so normal mermaids weren't allowed in. Only the Mermaid Princess of each era, who was talented in the Dao of the Soul and had the Mermaid Divine Palace's inheritance, could enter.
"Yes."
The Mermaid Princess replied confidently.
Hearing that, the hearts of everyone shook.
Thinking back to the past, the genius who had obtained the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine was able to break through to the Void God Realm within a couple years.
The Immortal Springs Wine could increase one's lifespan by a thousand years, and it could increase one's state of existence and cultivation. A thousand years was plenty of time for a normal Sovereign to comprehend the path to the Void God Realm.
The Illusion God Wine's effect was even more mysterious – it allowed one to enter a profound state and comprehend a higher intent.
With the Immortal Springs Wine, one had at least a 50% chance to reach the Void God Realm, but if they also had the Illusion God Wine, there was a 70% to reach the Void God Realm in the future.
If I obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine, reaching the Void God Realm will be easy.
Thinking up to there, their breathing rates quickened.
Right at this moment, the Mermaid Princess spoke, "The Immortal Springs Wine is in the mermaid fountain, but not all of the liquid is Immortal Springs Wine."
The Mermaid Princess paused.
Everyone saw that the mermaid carving had hundreds of holes.
"Only the liquid from the 'bottom part' is the true Immortal Springs Wine."
Speaking up to there, the Mermaid Princess's face went red, and everyone became slightly awkward. One of the female disciples also lowered her head with embarrassment.
Zhao Feng looked closely and indeed saw that there was a stream of liquid different from the others shooting out from the part where the torso and tail connected.
"That's the Immortal Springs Wine?"
Two Core disciples couldn't contain their greed and closed in on the fountain.
"Wait!"
The Mermaid Princess's warning was too late.
When the two Core disciples reached the mermaid fountain, their bodies started to sway, as if they were drunk.
"What a weird power. The fountain is a winery, and the air of alcohol will directly enter one's body and soul even if one doesn't breathe it in."
Zhao Feng clicked his tongue.
Such a strong alcohol was indeed worthy of being the Demigod's alcohol.
One had to know that the body and state of existence of a Demigod was countless times stronger than Sovereigns and Kings.
If a mortal drank a bottle, they would die, but if a large beast drank it, it wouldn't matter much.
Similarly, the body and alcohol tolerance of a Demigod had exceeded the limit of mortals.
"Even a Demigod will get drunk if they drink too much. Normal cultivators are unable to get close to the fountain. Even if they can, their consciousness will become drunk, so they won't be able to gather the alcohol."
The Mermaid Princess said.
Hearing that, the expressions of the people present started to become solemn.
The two Core disciples that had tried to get close were pulled back by Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan.
"Then what about the alcohol in the cabinets?"
Zhao Feng's eyes zoned in on the crystal cabinets.
The alcohol was stored within some pottery in the cabinets.
"The cabinets are sealed, so the smell of alcohol is weaker, but the cabinets are made from a unique material. Anyone below the Void God Realm will find it difficult to damage them, and it's extremely difficult to open their doors."
The Mermaid Princess replied.
The group fell into silence after hearing that.
Without a doubt, the Illusion God Wine was in the cabinets.
Zhao Feng tried controlling a ghost-corpse to close in on the fountain, but the sense of alcohol still extended into his soul.
"The power of the alcohol can enter the mental energy dimension."
Zhao Feng felt extremely troubled.
Even a robot-like ghost-corpse with no consciousness couldn't complete the task, which was because the ghost-corpse and owner were connected.
"Then how did that genius obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine?"
Chen Yilin asked.
"It's hard to find out what happened several thousand years ago, but the Mermaid Princess from back then fell into a deep sleep and died a couple years after the incident, losing a soul inheritance sacred treasure of the mermaids…."
The Mermaid Princess sighed and said.
The hearts of the group dropped.
It was obvious that the genius only succeeded last time because of luck.
It was already a miracle that they could reach this step themselves.
The group then tried everything they could think of.
No one could enter within twenty yards of the crystal fountain.
In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the longest range of an attack from a peak Great Origin Core Realm was only twenty yards, and this distance was reduced by one-third in the depths of the lake. This meant that no one could use their True Yuan to grab the alcohol.
On the other side, it was even harder to try to open the cabinets.
Apart from Zhao Feng, everyone tried something and failed.
Zhao Feng didn't do anything. Instead, he looked at the alcohol within the cabinets with twinkling eyes.
Chen Yilin and company started to think.
They finally thought of an idea; throw someone across with a rope tied to them, then pull them back after they gathered some alcohol. The person obtaining the alcohol would face a smaller amount of time trapped within the air of alcohol.
"We can only send people over. If we use items, they'll just be washed away by the lake water."
Chen Yilin confirmed.
After all, they were underwater, and the crystal fountain and the cabinets were separate domains that could ignore the environment.
"That method is indeed possible. If you put all your soul-defending items onto the rope, that'll help increase the person's defense against the sense of alcohol. Since it'll only be for a second, they won't actually face that much of the alcohol domain.
Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.
Teamwork was needed to obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the other alcohols.
"Hehe, according to our deal before, we'll split all the rewards before the palace 70-30, but after entering the palace, it'll depend on our own abilities."
Chen Yilin suddenly smiled, and Zhao Feng didn't reject. The rewards they had gathered earlier relied mostly on his army, but his army couldn't be used in here.
Whoosh!
A Core disciple was thrown into the crystal fountain.
The person responsible for throwing was Jiang Fan since his body was the strongest aside from Zhao Feng.
On their first try, the Core disciple was thrown below the mermaid carving, but it wasn't precise enough, so they only managed to obtain a tiny amount of liquid before being pulled back.
"Wu…."
That disciple couldn't stand properly, so they were unable to go a second time.
"En, I'll throw it better the second time."
Jiang Fan was confident.
"Let me try."
Chen Yilin smiled. His cultivation was the highest here, and his bloodline and body weren't simple.
Whoosh!
Chen Yilin was thrown below the private part of the mermaid carving.
In that instant, as he was inundated by the air of alcohol, Chen Yilin used a bottle and managed to gather a mouthful of Immortal Springs Wine.
"Hehe."
Chen Yilin was pulled back and put the bottle away.
The amount he had taken just now wasn't much.
"I need to rest. Use someone else."
Even Chen Yilin felt somewhat drunk, and his mind wasn't as clear as usual.
In reality, he could've gone again, but out of cautiousness, Chen Yilin decided to keep a clear head in case something happened.
"Brother Zhao, if you work with the Mermaid Princess, you can also try."
Chen Yilin glanced at Zhao Feng and felt it was strange that Zhao Feng wasn't doing anything.
It also put him slightly on guard.
"Master."
The Mermaid Princess uneasily awaited orders.
As long as Zhao Feng said so, she was willing to cooperate and help obtain the Immortal Springs Wine.
"Let's get the Illusion God Wine first."
Zhao Feng said after a while.
His state of existence and body were already extremely close to the King level; thus, it was more important to acquire the intent of a King.
His first goal was the Illusion God Wine, then the Immortal Springs Wine.
Illusion God Wine?
Chen Yilin cracked a smile. That alcohol was stored within the cabinets, and it wasn't easy to open them. Even if he did manage to open them, the air of alcohol could possibly make him fall into an eternal sleep.
"Master, the Illusion God Wine is in the purple-colored cup in the very center."
The Mermaid Princess said.
No one knew more about the Mermaid Divine Palace than her.
"En."
Zhao Feng nodded his head.
Thinking up to there, his left eye locked on to the purple-colored cup.
At this moment, Chen Yilin and company had gathered another mouthful of Immortal Springs Wine.
Jiang Fan and company all looked curiously toward Zhao Feng. What kind of method would Zhao Feng use to obtain the Illusion God Wine?
Weng~
A stealthy whirlpool of eye-bloodline power covered the purple-colored cup.
Hmm?
The hearts of Chen Yilin and company jumped.
"Is that a spatial eye-bloodline technique?"
The Core disciples present were all extremely knowledgeable.
Zhao Feng's heart suddenly shook as a crushing pressure descended upon his soul.
The cabinet contained a magnificent intent, which made Zhao Feng's attempt end in failure.
I used Spatial Movement, but it wasn't able to transport the target.
Zhao Feng knew that it was because the cabinet and the cup itself contained the intent of a Demigod.
The Demigod intent also enveloped the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden. It was the lord of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.
"Zhe zhe, as expected of the Demigod Forgotten Garden; that crystal cabinet has the ability to stop spatial techniques."
"The Demigod Forgotten Garden has existed for such a long time, and there have been many geniuses over the years that specialized in spatial laws, such as Nan Gongsheng."
Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company weren't surprised. They were gloating instead.
"Let's try again."
Zhao Feng didn't give up so easily. He started to think. The intent just now seemed to have come directly from the cabinet and the cup.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat stood on his shoulder and waved its cat paws.
"Okay."
Zhao Feng understood the little thieving cat's meaning.
"Spatial Movement!"
Zhao Feng's left eye locked on to the little thieving cat.
A stealthy whirlpool instantly covered the little thieving cat.
Shua!
The little thieving cat disappeared, and the eyes of Chen Yilin and company bulged.
In the next instant:
Miao!
The little thieving cat appeared in the cabinet, right next to the Illusion God Wine, and gulped it down in one mouthful.

Chapter 650 - Reserving Power
The little thieving cat opened its mouth and gulped down the Illusion God Wine, including the cup.
Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company were stunned.
The Illusion God Wine that so many of them couldn't obtain had been obtained by a cat so easily.
Miao miao!
After gulping down the Illusion God Wine, drunkenness appeared in its eyes. Then, it gulped down a red wooden cup and a green-bronze flask.
After completing all of that, it started to sway, and its consciousness became blurry.
"That cat's alcohol tolerance is so high…."
The Mermaid Princess was awed.
Even Chen Yilin and company wouldn't be able to last so long in the air of alcohol.
As the little thieving cat was about to go to its fourth target:
"Spatial Movement!"
A wisp of eye-bloodline power engulfed the little thieving cat.
Zhao Feng decided to play it safe.
Miao miao miao!
The drunk little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng's shoulder and jumped around.
Everyone was stunned, and they looked at the little thieving cat with fiery gazes.
Not only did the little thieving cat have a high capacity for alcohol, it was also extremely quick and intelligent. If they were correct, the little thieving cat had the ability to store things within its body.
"Little thieving cat."
Zhao Feng's left eye released a cold sensation that washed over the little thieving cat.
Miao!
The little thieving cat's drunkenness faded a bit.
"The Eye of Ice Soul has an effect that can slightly counter alcohol."
Zhao Feng secretly nodded his head.
Because he and the little thieving cat were connected through their souls, Zhao Feng was also affected when the little thieving cat faced the air of alcohol.
That detail was momentarily ignored by Chen Yilin and company.
Although Zhao Feng faced half the air of alcohol and it was only limited to the soul, there was no sign of drunkenness on his face.
Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against mental energy, including the air of alcohol.
Of course, Zhao Feng didn't want to try with his own body. Although his state of existence and body were close to a King's, their resilience toward the air of alcohol was definitely not as high as the God's Spiritual Eye.
The aura of Death was somewhere in the Purple Smoke Lake, and if Zhao Feng was correct, the warm youth was here.
"Brother Zhao, did you obtain the Illusion God Wine?"
The gazes of Chen Yilin and company were impatient.
Zhao Feng also glanced at the little thieving cat.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat opened its mouth and spat out a purple-colored crystal cup that was 70% full. A dreamy alcohol within released a dazzling drunken aura.
"That's right, this is the Illusion God Wine."
Zhao Feng said confidently as he put it in his metal ring.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat also jumped into the ancient metal ring.
"Get out!"
Zhao Feng laughed and grabbed the little thieving cat by its tail.
Miao!
The little thieving cat unwillingly spat out a red wooden cup and a green-bronze flask.
What a fiery hot energy!
Everyone felt as if their souls were being burnt.
"Dragon Flame Wine!"
The Mermaid Princess exclaimed.
The aura and power of the Dragon Flame Wine were even stronger than the Illusion God Wine. Of course, that was just the raw energy contained within it.
On the other hand, the green-bronze flask gave off a slightly numb sensation.
"Lightning Cloud Wine!"
The Mermaid Princess's voice started to tremble.
Shua! Shua!
With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng put the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine away.
The Dragon Flame Wine was of the fire element, so it wasn't of much use to Zhao Feng currently, but the Lightning Cloud Wine was related to lightning and should benefit him greatly.
However, the auras from the two wines were too strong, so Zhao Feng didn't dare to test them in his current environment.
"The rankings of the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine are probably not much lower than the Illusion God Wine."
The expressions of Chen Yilin and company flickered, and one of the drunk Core disciples looked at Zhao Feng with ill intent, but at the end, all of them suppressed the urge to attack Zhao Feng.
They knew how terrifying he was. There was also the Mermaid Princess, as well as a cat with unknown abilities, whereas the Core disciples on Chen Yilin's side were drunk and had less battle-power.
Only Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin had relatively clear minds at the moment.
Jiang Fan took a small sip of Immortal Springs Wine and then sat down as his True Yuan and aura of life started to surge.
"As expected of the Immortal Springs Wine."
Zhao Feng looked closely and found that Jiang Fan's state of existence, his body, and his cultivation had all become stronger.
If things continued and Jiang Fan kept using the Immortal Springs Wine, it was possible for him to break through another small stage in a couple days' time.
"Master, it shouldn't be hard for you to obtain some Immortal Springs Wine with your strength."
The Mermaid Princess's eyes were filled with admiration.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat asked to help.
Zhao Feng nodded his head and took out a rope, then wrapped it around the little thieving cat before throwing it toward the crystal fountain.
His control over his power was better than Jiang Fan's, and the little thieving cat was thrown directly to the mermaid carving's private part.
Miao!
The little thieving cat opened its mouth right below the position and sucked in for a complete three breaths.
The Immortal Springs Wine that the little thieving cat obtained was more than ten times the total amount Chen Yilin and company had obtained.
"Come back!"
Zhao Feng pulled the little thieving cat back, and the expressions of Chen Yilin and company were slightly ugly. They had decided before that the rewards they obtained in the palace depended on their own skill, and they originally had the advantage in numbers, but Zhao Feng's rewards were much richer than theirs.
Suddenly:
"This Zhao Feng… has no signs of any drunkenness at all!"
Chen Yilin realized, and his entire heart shook.
Since Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were connected through their souls, the air of alcohol would affect the owner as well, and the little thieving cat had already gone out twice, but Zhao Feng didn't have any signs of drunkenness at all. What did this mean?
"He hasn't used all his strength yet."
Chen Yilin concluded and was shocked by what he thought.
Zhao Feng had still reserved some strength.
Why? Is he wary of us?
Chen Yilin sighed in his heart. Zhao Feng was unexpectedly wary.
Of course, he didn't know that Zhao Feng wasn't wary of them.
Tu Jiuseng and company managed to enter the Mermaid Divine Palace too, and that warm youth Wen Luoan is also near the Mermaid Kingdom.
Zhao Feng's thoughts were far away at the moment. Afar all, he still had many troops scattered around the Mermaid Kingdom.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of water flowing came from the steps.
"Hahaha…! We found it!"
Tu Jiuseng and more than ten others arrived at the underground cellar.
How is this possible!?
Disbelief appeared on the faces of the disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.
The only reason they could enter the Mermaid Divine Palace was because they had kidnapped the Mermaid Princess. How were Tu Jiuseng and company able to enter?
There's only one possibility.
Zhao Feng snickered coldly in his heart.
Without the Mermaid King allowing them, Tu Jiuseng and company wouldn't be able to easily enter.
The atmosphere in the underground cellar instantly tensed up.
Tu Jiuseng's side had the advantage in numbers, and a couple Core disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan were somewhat drunk, so their battle-powers had been reduced by 20-30%. In addition, Tu Jiuseng also had several Sovereign Lords, beast tamers, and cultivators who trained in the Soul Dao, Sword Dao, and Ghost Corpse Dao.
The combination of this group was extremely strong.
