The Sacred Ruins

Panda Novel

Beneath the glittering starry sky, Chu Feng hastened on with his journey and broke free of the star road with Lady Xi. They infiltrated a strange starfield to meet up with Uncle Shu.

The Xilin starfield!

They had arrived at the Xilin race’s headquarters, and this time their destination was the fringes of the territory!

Such an assembly obviously indicated something big was happening.

Chu Feng disappeared in the sea of stars. The sensation caused by the claim that he was the youngest superstar expert was still ongoing. All of the races were searching in hopes that they could make peace with him.

“According to what we know of the situation, this young man has the blood of the Deity race. He must be a descendent we left behind!”

A veteran journalist serving one of the media platforms controlled by the Deity race narrated this event with a tone of certainty as he tried to claim a familial relationship.

However, the Deity race’s orthodoxy did not declare their stance.

In the depths of the universe, at the Immemorial Temple, claimed to be one of the most powerful educational institutes in the cosmos.

An elderly man brimming with enthusiasm expressed regret as he said, “Fourteen years old and he’s already a superstar expert… This must be some god-given talent. He should enter the Immemorial Temple. So long as he agrees to come, we can provide all the evolutionary resources to ensure he becomes a saint!”

A media outlet under the Soul race praised Wu Lunhui. Although he hadn’t exposed his outstanding constitution, nor could he compare with the seventeen-year-old Myriad Star Physique Xu Chengxian, he was still considered a genius.

It was clear that Wu Lunhui breaking the stone tablet created great waves and attracted all the races’ attention.

This was because he was simply too young, and his growth potential was astonishing.

Lastly, one of the the Dameng Pure Land’s chariots set off. They wanted to quietly search out Wu Lunhui and observe him for a while. If he was truly as good as they said, then they would send out another golden invitation card.

“What’s there to debate over? Wu Lunhui is actually of Earth. You of the Deity race are the most shameless! You’ve been suffering crushing defeat after crushing defeat and your talents are completely withered away, yet you would go so far as to start arguing about familial ties.”

On that day, the toad Ouyang authenticated his Origin Beast Platform account and put up his profile picture. He had a large mouth and a face covered in golden streaks. He challenged them on the platform and said that Wu Lunhui was an Earthling.

“F*ck off!”

“What a joke! The natives of a declining planet have the gall to talk like this? Can you guys leave the solar system?”

Many people made fun of him. Naturally, there was no lack of mock and ridicule coming from the Netherworld and Soul races.

“I think that kid really is from our planet. Look at him. He’s human,” shouted the Black Yak.

This was clearly intentional. The more ostentatious the claims, the less people would be able to believe them. It would make people think they were trolls deliberately trying to mock other races.

“Humans are scattered all over the universe. There are many of them. How could a broken planet possibly produce a genius!?”

“An inhospitable environment filled with wicked people… The barbarian land of Earth is done for. They had gone so far as to shamelessly mix up meeting relatives!” some people said sarcastically.

The toad’s golden-spotted face trembled as he said, “Tsk! You son of a b*tch, are you from the Golden Sparrow race? I saw your verification info on the Origin Beast Platform. Just you wait! As we speak I’m on my way to catch your race’s divine son. He’s on Earth. I guarantee I’ll steam him!”

In an instant the Origin Beast Platform quieted down as many people pulled back.

Although they were sneering, Earth did have Chu Feng and the bandits at Mount Eternal. It was by no means easy to deal with. Lately, they were often sailing around in the rotting ships and making trouble.

Not long afterward, the Golden Sparrow race’s divine son died miserably. He was chopped up and thrown into a pot along with some Sichuan peppers and spices. He was cooked thoroughly and served while still steaming. The toad and old donkey even shot some close-ups.

“Ah… that group of Earthlings. You bastards should be struck by lightning!” cried out the member of the Golden Sparrow race who had previously spoken. His voice was mournful.

…

Everyone was speechless. The group of natives at Mount Eternal had become crazier and crazier over the past few months. People and deities were both angered; a human trafficker and a group of bandits made the enemy forces gnash their teeth in hatred.

Chu Feng was among the first to understand the situation. During the past few months, Yellow Ox, the Black Yak, and the rest hadn’t suffered losses. They often wreaked havoc, and this put his mind at ease.

At the same time, those people were impersonating him and making it look as though he were still on Earth taking action from time to time.

“Yellow Ox, Black Yak, don’t impersonate me for a while. I want to do something big in the heavens, and if I don’t reveal my identity, how can I hurt the Xilin race? Have me disappear on Earth for a while. Keep a low profile!”

Chu Feng left a message to warn them.

Then he and Xi descended and hurried to the place where they would meet with Uncle Ming.

This was a secluded and strange part of the cosmos. In the distance was a planet surrounded by floating auras of death. It left people feeling quite unsettled and apprehensive.

A planet overflowing with silk-like auras of death could be considered rare. To enter this cosmos made people feel terrified.

Uncle Ming arrived, noiselessly rushing to provide support. He stood in the void and starred at the distant planet with a complicated expression.

“Uncle Ming!” Chu Feng hurriedly greeted him. Uncle Ming had disappeared for a few days during which he had always been in this area, researching that so-called secret creation.

“What kind of creation is there?” Lady Xi was quite curious.

Uncle Ming’s expression was complex and his eyes were filled with sadness, anger, and helplessness along with grief and powerlessness.

“This planet is the Cosmic Dark Prison. It’s said that many terrible and destitute people are locked up here. Earlier on, it was a slaughterhouse. Some of Earth’s ancient saints and almighty powers from all over were imprisoned here and finally executed.”

After saying this, Uncle Ming took a deep breath and continued, “Later on, every single ancient Earth evolver they caught was thrown onto this planet and then killed. This lasted until the Xilin race and the Heavenly Knights also captured the old and young along with women and infants. They also banished the evolvers on those planets who were friendly toward Earth here and carried out all kinds of cruel experiments. Then, they suppressed and killed them, staining the land red with rivers of blood.”

Uncle Ming’s mood was gloomy. After the ancient war, Earth faced great tragedy, and many who escaped into the cosmos struggled to survive. They were hunted down until finally, they were almost entirely wiped out.

Meanwhile, this planet became a prison and a concentration camp. In the end, all of the women and infants who were locked up here were slaughtered. It was a tragic sight.

“After ancient Earth’s two heaven illuminator-level leaders were killed in battle, some of their flesh was also cast into this planet. This caused the area to become completely barren and terrifying beyond compare. The vital blood rising in this area has an astonishing corrosiveness that can corrupt golden arhats and break down saints’ abilities. It’s terror is without boundary.”

Uncle Ming sighed and became increasingly emotional.

Yaoyao’s father was the strongest of the heaven illuminators and was known as the youngest overlord in history, and even he perished on this planet. His flesh fell on this planet and caused it to become a dead planet.

“This…” Chu Feng’s heart felt heavy.

Now, this place was regarded as the universe’s dark prison. A huge cage was built to imprison some of the universe’s most important criminals.

This place could break down people’s cultivated skills. Even saint-level people were thrown into the cage and found it difficult to escape. They would be trapped for a lifetime, and their power would continuously decline.

“Seeing as this place is so terrifying, what are we doing here?” Lady Xi didn’t understand. She didn’t think such a dangerous place would have any creation.

Uncle Ming’s expression became serious as he said, “There is a red light here. It is very mysterious and exceptionally important. It originally belonged to Earth, so I want to have Chu Feng take it back and use it as a pretext to enter the Canxia Realm!”

Uncle Ming didn’t know just how many heaven illuminator-level characters have targeted and attacked Earth during the ancient war. They originally wanted to blow Earth up and leave no remains.

However, a certain accident horrified them and caused them to change their course.

On Earth, in Kunlun, there was a purgatory space!

Back then, Yaoyao’s father and the others had settled in the Kunlun mountains. The heaven illuminator-level overlords in the outer realm was rising in revolt. They attacked Kunlun together, originally wanting to destroy everything.

At that time, many overlords attacked as a group. Who could contend with them!?

As a result, in Earth’s Kunlun, they tore a hole in the purgatory space. Having caused an accident, they were suddenly disgraced and felt deeply ashamed.

Some people even came close to dying!

When the heaven illuminator-level people seized wide expanses of the mountain range and met with purgatory’s counter attack, they threw those things directly into the cosmos.

“After this, those mountain ranges, broken rocks, and the purgatory space gushed with terrifying matter. All of it was thrown onto this planet,” explained Uncle Ming.

He continued to say, “During the ancient battle, those heaven illuminator-level overlords acted together in tearing open the purgatory space and causing instability in Kunlun. They left behind a spatial crack. Had they not done this, even now the saints would be completely helpless to open it.”

Chu Feng suddenly understood that the crack was left behind because the ancient war was too intense. The heaven illuminator overlords undoubtedly opened it together. Otherwise, there was no way the purgatory space could have never come into existence!

“Actually, the reason the Deity race and Netherworld race didn’t destroy Earth in the end was also due to the purgatory space. This wasn’t benevolence, nor was it done out of the goodness of their heart. It was because they didn’t dare. They feared the purgatory space would come into being and trigger a terrifying calamity! Of course, the sagemaster’s intimidation helped, too.”

Uncle Shu explained the behind-the-scenes details.

Chu Feng’s heart pounded. He naturally knew what was inside the purgatory space. Inside was the radiant ghost town, the reincarnation road, and the ultimate end.

He had personally experienced it. He reckoned that anyone who dared enter that place was looking for death!

When he was at the radiant ghost town’s millstone, he saw too many saint corpses. Among them were even the true dragon and undead bird’s bodies, both crushed to a bloody pulp.

Now he seriously suspected that those might not have been corpses from this part of the universe. They had another origin!

Could it be they were corpses from the Yang Realm? He guessed, but he couldn’t be sure.

“Uncle Ming, I’ve been there,” Chu Feng spoke slowly and told Uncle Ming about what he had seen.

The outside world did not know much about purgatory.

As for the radiant ghost town and the millstone, they knew even less. It was most likely that only the overlords who had attacked hurriedly responded.

As for the reincarnation road’s end, he guessed that nobody had been there before. It was likely that nobody knew!

Uncle Ming was flabbergasted, and Xi was also stupefied. They were both startled—it was as though they’d heard a fairytale!

Not long afterward, Lady Xi spoke in a frightened tone, “So reincarnation does exist! Oh right, Lolita Chu, last time you swore to me that you would take me back to the Yang realm. You won’t throw me into the millstone and grind me into mush to send me back, will you!?”

Chu Feng immediately gave a hollow laugh and said, “I have a black talisman, don’t I? It will protect and reincarnate you with your memories!”

“In the end, if you still want to throw me into the millstone to be crushed, I’ll… I’ll kill you!” Xi pounced directly at him.

Chu Feng barely fought back. He extended his arms and gave her a bear hug.

“Monstrous pervert! Malicious spirit! Let me go!”

Not long afterward, Uncle Ming and Lady Xi gradually digested this terrifying truth. Chu Feng had briefly touched on it before, saying that he had entered purgatory, but he didn’t dare bring up the matter of the reincarnation road’s end. It was too outrageous.

“Uncle Ming, the red light on this dead planet is very special. Is it important for me?” Chu Feng had his doubts.

“Very important. Ah, the Canxia Realm… The reason I made you suppress and not breakthrough for now is because I wanted to make you come here and catch that light. You’ll breakthrough first and then swallow that light!”

The so-called Canxia would absorb some of the world’s energy rays to strengthen one’s body. The rarer and stronger the light, the better it was, and it could develop remarkable magical powers.

Uncle Ming placed great importance on the start of Chu Feng’s journey. He wanted to make the first bit of light Chu Feng absorbed in the Canxia Realm to be an extremely influential and ancient light!

The reason Uncle Ming discovered this light was because for a long time, he had come here to offer sacrifice and recall the deceased. He discovered it accidentally.

This was the Xilin race’s territory. This dark prison realm was entrusted by the Xilin race.

Uncle Ming said, “There is one Xilin race bloodline that knows of that light, but they didn’t report it to their superiors. Ever since ancient times that bloodline has been trying constantly to seize it, but they have never been successful.”

After learning this, Chu Feng was quite moved. Uncle Ming had spent great effort in coming to this most dangerous place and practically stealing from the tiger’s mouth to help him build the strongest foundation.

“Before, I didn’t know that light’s origins. Now, I’ve discovered that it must be from the radiant ghost town, the reincarnation road, or even that cave at the end!” said Uncle Ming. The more solemn his expression became and the more he understood, the more he felt that light was something extraordinary. Chu Feng simply had to get it. The first light he consumed in the Canxia Realm had to be this light!
