The Sacred Ruins

Panda Novel

Chu Feng abhorred Zhou Shang, the so-called Earth’s true son, down to his core.

Zhou Shang’s ambush almost killed Chu Feng during the great war in Mount Kunlun’s home of myriad gods several months ago. Now, his patience had run dry when the former made a move to kill Yellow Ox, Old Blackie and the rest!

Also, while Chu Feng was in purgatory, the so-called true one, Zhou Shang, and his Guardian, Yuchi Kong had blocked around Mount Eternal at the Eastern Sea and hunted Chu Feng’s parents, Yellow Ox and the rest. All of this was an attempt to steal the breathing technique.

“Over and over again, I have had enough! There will only be more if you aren’t taken down today!”

How could such a despicable person bear the name of Earth’s true one? Chu Feng questioned Old Blackie and the rest about why they didn’t expose him, and let the whole world know about his heinous character? They should’ve let the Deity Race, Netherworld Race, Spirit Race, and the others, kill him.

The Manchurian Tiger explained that nobody believed it when he was exposed in the very first place. It was just like how everyone took it as a joke when they said Wu Lunhui and Chu Feng were the same person.

Moreover, Zhou Shang was well prepared. He once mentioned that he had come from “Crimson”, a vital star in the Luolan Galaxy. There was feedback from the depths of the starry skies that there was indeed such a person on Crimson.

Chu Feng fell into deep thought after hearing the news; Zhou Shang should have created a new identity just like himself, or rather, was he an alien from the very beginning?!

Chu Feng’s intended to kill this person, regardless!

After the conversation, Chu Feng moved closer to Xi with nauseating praises that even grossed out someone as thick-skinned as himself.

“Stop!!”

Xi had had enough and yelled stop when he started calling her ‘Xi Xi’, ‘Little Xi’, etc. IT made her uncomfortable with goosebumps all over.

“Speak human language!” she rebuked.

Chu Feng continued to throw strings of nonsensical embellished sentences such as “the immortal one”, “a smile that can charm hundreds”, “innocently pure”, “enchanting”…

Xi massaged her aching temple and said, “It somewhat slipped my mind that making you speak ‘human language’ is too difficult for you because a nonsensical person like you can only say nonsensical things. Just tell me directly, what exactly do you want?”

“It’s not too much of a request actually. I want you to teach me a Breathing Technique, it’s fine even if its an incomplete one as long as it is ranked within the first hundred in the cosmos.” Chu Feng said it with a smiling face.

Xi shot him a glance and said, “Haven’t you already mastered a powerful breathing technique that’s ranked eleventh in the Yang Realm?”

“I am now Wu Lunhui, I can no longer use the same breathing technique. A new identity naturally requires a different set of secret skill.” Chu Feng explained his ulterior motive.

Xi tilted her head and said, “Well, that makes sense but the Breathing Technique I mastered was one of the most exceptional and formidable techniques in the Yang Realm. I can’t teach you that. The other equally formidable technique I mastered was my maternal grandfather’s family secret technique.”

Chu Feng was crying in his heart because the difference between them is too vast. He felt like a loser when compared to Xi, who had not only mastered more than one breathing technique but also top notch ones on top of it.

He shamelessly said, “I’m totally fine with it being strong! Come on, pass it on to me!”

“Don’t you even think about it, I will die if I were to pass them on to you.” Xi rejected firmly because she knew that the iron-clad rule that forbade her from leaking the arts to any outsiders.

She gave his request another thought and said, “I can pass on to you the breathing technique of the Phoenix Race, one of the incomplete techniques dug out from ancient ruins. Nobody aside from the clan members themselves can obtain the authentic complete technique.”

However, what she didn’t tell him was that there was once a supreme dynasty that had ruled gloriously for one and a half million years but perished overnight right after obtaining the complete breathing technique of the Phoenix Race.

No one ever thought that four supposedly extinct phoenixes appeared that night, each on par with the grand ancestor of the dynasty!

“So straightforward, are you planning to set me up?” Chu Feng asked suspiciously as she was reluctant to teach him any breathing technique no matter what.

“Take it or leave it!” Xi rolled her eyes and said, “I’m only offering you seeing that you have been persistent and begged me for it, it doesn’t matter to me if you don’t want it.”

“I want it!” Chu Feng didn’t want to miss out on the chance.

He then received a dark and swarthy eggshell, covered with net-like patterns and traces of diagrams and imprints.

“What is this?”

“The shell of Phoenix’s egg containing the inheritable skills of the race. Be careful, you don’t want to have it crushed by accident.” Xi reminded him.

Chu Feng was speechless and gave Xi a disbelieving look. With the Phoenix being an indomitable holy creature, their eggs should be as tough as diamonds, how can it be crushed easily?

“That’s because this piece of shell has existed since ancient times and suffered the attacks from a great expert. Look at all the crevices and crack lines, it’s so fragile it can crumble anytime now.”

Xi explained to Chu Feng, if only this was a complete shell, then the inheritance would also be complete.

Chu Feng started to train in breathing technique according to Xi’s teachings despite being skeptical towards her words. However, in just a moment after he had started, he started to feel unsurmountable heat coming out from his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes as if he had been set ablaze.

He even had a nosebleed in the end!

“What on earth is this damned breathing technique? I thought I am becoming like those western fire-breathing dragons!!” Chu Feng yelled as he could feel that the heat had almost burnt his hair.

The corner of Xi’s lips twitched from his exaggerated response and said, “Tch, at most they’re just a group of fiery salamanders. They’re just fatties even after reaching the peak of evolution. Have you ever seen a fat dragon?”

“No, that’s not the point. Tell me if this breathing technique is really dependable?? I felt like I was this close to being barbequed.” Chu Feng’s mouth was glowing and his whole body was burning up.

“Of course, this breathing technique is one of the exceptional ones. I recently observed that your wits are almost on par with me, so I thought you were good enough to explore it. If you are able to discover a higher level of breathing technique from this piece of eggshell. Otherwise, do you think I will actually be bothered to pass it on to you?”

Chu Feng was exhilarated and said, “Are you saying that this piece of phoenix eggshell might actually hold a higher level of Breathing Technique?”

“It’s definitely possible, but what you have to do now is to fully master the defective technique I taught you. I guarantee that you will definitely be enlisted within the top 100!” Xi replied.

Chu Feng’s training to master the technique was a painful one. His clothes were burnt into ashes and he literally spouted smoke through the seven orifices. It wasn’t because he was seething in anger, but the side effect of the breathing technique training.

The phoenix was originally a holy creature of the fire element. In order to train the breathing technique of this race, one would have to face rolling waves of heat.

Fortunately, this is the Yin-Realm, otherwise, the outcome might be even more terrifying.

He trained as he traveled, and not even a second was wasted. Finally, he mastered the crux of the technique and his clothes were no longer burnt in the process.

Especially at the end of the training, he entered a sun after using this breathing technique. One had to know that the place was an explosively intense flame!

The bad news was that he was almost burnt to a crisp from the overwhelming heat. The good news was that he had fully understood and mastered the technique through this struggle between life and death.

Chu Feng stopped using the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique and instead operated the breathing technique of the Phoenix Clan. He wasn’t noticeably weaker from the change and almost as powerful as before.

That was because this defective chapter was sufficient for use in his current realm.

The only regrettable part was that the missing bits of chant in this defective technique weren’t limited to the follow-up parts—the earlier awakened realm, shackled realm, carefree realm, visualization realm parts were also missing.

“Now that I have mastered the breathing technique, why not teach me another godly skill? Come on, don’t be stingy. Not to mention that we have been through life and death together…” Chu Feng thickened his face and tried to coax Xi passionately with flamboyant words.

“How greedy can you be? The Lightning Fist I taught you was one of the authentic divine skills, yet you still want more?” Xi said as she stared at him.

“That was a complete technique with overbearing intensive Yang energy. It will definitely catch the attention of many people once used, and Wu Lunhui will be schemed against by countless people. I’ll leave this kind of enviable skill to Chu Feng since his troubles are already abundant already, a little more won’t make a difference.”

Complete technique with overbearing Yang energy!

At this point, Chu Feng remained skeptical and doubted whether the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique was complete. He had realized that the Yang energy used when utilizing the technique was not as overwhelming as he expected.

Then again he also thought that perhaps the technique he had mastered till now was never a complete one. It might be possible for him to obtain a complete technique from the gold-colored box he got from the undying medicine tree in Kunlun!

Xi said, “Go and learn from Uncle Ming.”

“Uncle Ming left to handle some serious matters, probably trying to contact the escaped convicts from the Dark Prison. He doesn’t have time for me.”

Xi rolled her eyes. With a disdainful look, she gave in unwillingly and taught him a palm technique from the Yang realm called the Flaming Palm, and this art happened to complement the Phoenix Breathing Technique.

“Big Sister, there aren’t many transformations with just one type, teach me one more, pretty please?” Chu Feng’s eyes were crystal clear, with the face of an innocent and untainted young boy.

“Stupid Loli Chu, stop it with your cutesy act! Who are you calling Big Sister? I am only 16 years old and you, you are an uncle over 20 years old. Who are you trying to fool?!”

Regardless of her cursing and scolding, Xi still taught him another fist technique called the Tathāgata Fist, but sadly this was an incomplete technique. The complete technique was one of the strongest divine skills and was considered forbidden art in the Yang realm.

Pow!

The moment Chu Feng tried the technique, the earth shattered as the sky flared up with a fiery glow—the scene was horrifying, almost as though a god were showing his might.

“Lil’ Sis, you’re the best! Come, let me give you a big hug!” Chu Feng was exhilarated the moment he mastered the technique, and he was prepared to express his gratitude passionately.

Xi dodged instantly and glared angrily at him. “Go away, you were calling me Big Sister just a moment ago, now that you have mastered the technique I was degraded to a Lil’ Sis! Why do I feel like I was taken for a fool, damn you! Go and die!”

Chu Feng did not care about her anger since he was very pleased with what he had obtained. Not only had he mastered the Breathing Technique of the Phoenix Race, but he had also mastered the Flaming Palm and Tathāgata Fist on top of it. One full package that was enough for him to play for a little longer.

Their spaceship crossed through the universe, prepared to warp through space.

However, he couldn’t directly back to Earth. Because he had previously disappeared from the Irma Galaxy as Wu Lunhui, he couldn’t warp too far a distance.

The route that he took had to look reasonable.

News of the youngest superstar genius Wu Lunhui once again appeared on the star passages and created a great sensation. Many people tried to approach and connect with him but met with disappointment as they missed him every time. He paid no heed to these people as he gave it his all to rush to his destination.

The outsiders unexpectedly found out that this exceptional genius Wu Lunhui planned to head towards Earth. He was going to witness the potential revival of a planet and wished to level up there.

Geniuses from myriad clans in the universe were already headed there, with hopes of evolving together with the planet to achieve something great in return.

It was no surprise that a young genius like Wu Lunhui also planned to head toward that planet. The Winged Divine Physique, the Origin Dao Physique, the Superfluous Physique were also on their way to the planet.

Other than them, the Immortal Destiny Physique, the Innocuous Divine Physique, and the Origin Magnetic Sacred Physique had also made their appearance on the planet Earth.

“This is going to be so exciting!” The people were busily discussing it.

On the way, Chu Feng had Xi to get in contact with Yellow Ox. He didn’t want to risk the chance of being discovered by the spies and give them the slightest clue about himself.

A piece of news arrived that enraged Chu Feng.

Yellow Ox, Old Blackie and the rest were surrounded and hunted down by the people of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou Immortal Islands in the Eastern Sea. Those people were in cahoots with the Innocuous Divine Physique.

“Damn it all!” Chu Feng’s expression turned frosty.

“Currently, the Spirit Race, Mechanical Race, Deity Race, and Xilin Clan have formed an alliance. Reportedly, hundreds of evolver sects have joined hands with them and are planning to head over to the Eastern Sea on a witch hunt. They’re trying to locate Mount Eternal so they can eradicate all of us!”

That was the original message from Old Blackie, infuriated and indignant.

“A joint force of hundreds of evolver sects?” Chu Feng revealed killing intent. This only meant one thing, the moment he arrived on Earth, he would massacre all of them as Chu Feng.

He said coldly, “Those golden arhat-ranked evolvers are unable to enter Earth at this point. The others are just small fries with empty names and useless titles. It doesn’t matter even if those indomitable physiques are among them—all shall perish without exception!”
