The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 767 - The Hidden Truth about The Universe

Panda Novel

The final candidates had been confirmed; the evolvers who had met the standards came to a total of 673. This batch almost doubled the three to four hundred invitations that had been circulated to the outer realm before.

This batch of people unquestionably represented the strongest combat power in the universe’s current generation.

On that day, Dameng Pure Land announced the candidates to everyone and clearly announced that this century’s great fortune was about to begin. The person who could truly emerge victorious could possibly borrow the power from this place and obtain a one-time assistance to finally valut up to the highest of the heavens.

To be ahead of those at the same generation by a hundred years definitely made everyone’s eyes turn red. To the young generation of this universe, such similar fortunes were only limited to a few!

“What do you mean the highest ranking universe genius distinguished meeting? These people still can’t represent the whole universe!”

Someone was making a statement on the platform in the starry sea. That person was recalcitrant because they didn’t receive an invitation letter and had no right to attend the meeting.

In a split second, many people sympathetically responded because only six hundred or so people could truly attend the meeting. There were endless talented individuals from each race in the universe, so it was only natural that many evolvers felt they weren’t weaker than the lot.

At this moment, Chu Feng was recommended and brought up to talk about said matter.

“Even Great Demon Chu wasn’t invited, and yet they dare claim that this is a gathering of the universe’s strongest talents? If you guys have the balls to do so, you should go to Earth and deul that demon. I reckon nine out of nine would be killed and lying on their bellies!”

“That’s right. If I’m not mistaken, Demon Chu has yet to taste defeat since he made his first appearance. He’s killed divine sons and saintesses from every race and they’ve continuously suffered great losses. He even sold many divine sons and saintesses. Some people attending the meeting might even be his captives and prisoners. Can these people attend the grandest distinguished meeting meant to represent the young talents? Such dirty tricks are being played on every level! We’re not willing to accept this!”

Someone made a huge deal and attacked the current distinguished meeting.

This incited a heated debate. Indeed, if they were considering this solely on combating strength, how many people in the whole starry sea presently dared to say they could suppress Great Demon Chu?

There were certainly a few people amongst these geniuses in Dameng Pure Land who were once Chu Feng’s captives and had become his prisoners. The people from their race had paid a ransom to release them, and at this moment, these individuals felt incomparably awkward and felt ashamed.

On that day, Dameng Pure Land announced to everyone that the sects were free to choose whoever they wanted to and other people had no authority to interfere.

Additionally, whoever wasn’t satisfied could come to Dameng Pure Land and challenge their decision; they would give everyone a chance to do so.

But who would go asking for trouble? If they took the initiative to fight their way up to the gates of Dameng Pure Land so forcibly, they definitely wouldn’t end up with a good outcome. One had to know that Dameng Pure Land was ranked fifteenth in the present age and weren’t afraid of any power.

“This is unfair. The value of this distinguished meeting is not reflected without Great Demon Chu. If you guys have the balls to do so, let Chu Feng enter. I reckon he can overturn a field of people. Are you guys afraid?” someone heckled.

For a moment, many people were defending Chu Feng against the injustice he suffered and were speaking on his behalf.

“It’s no bother. I’ve already made my move and have prepared to attack Dameng Pure Land with the Ancestral Demon’s Cauldron in my hands. Is there anyone from the same orthodoxy as me daring enough to come with me to Dameng Pure Land and cause havoc!?”

The big black yak and Young Lady Xi were pretending to be Chu Feng on Earth; they put on an act of carrying the Ancestral Demon’s Cauldron and appeared as though they were going to make a move.

This action made Dameng Pure Land nervous. On the day the powerhouses gave it their all, they would retrieve the sect-guarding weapons and were on their guard at all times.

Yet nothing happened that day, but no one could anticipate whether something would happen later on!

“Everyone, rest for the night. You’ll enter the divine palace tomorrow afternoon!” urged an old lady at the golden body realm in Dameng Pure Land.

“Little Jun Tuo, come and talk with this old uncle under the candlelight!” That extremely ancient golden arhat powerhouse shouted at Ouyang Feng for him to follow him.

The group of people were extremely envious; only Ouyang Feng really wanted to spit his saliva.

But Chu Feng spat at him first and said on the sly, “You have such an opportunity, yet you’re still not going? Are you stupid!? Hurry up and pry about inside information. Whether we can reap great benefits or not is all on you now!”

After that, Ouyang Feng reluctantly followed that elder as though he was being sent to the gallows. He would occasionally express his hidden bitterness as much as he pleased through his eyes.

Many people felt that this night was endless. Everyone was making revisions to their current state and wanted to achieve their strongest state!

Chu Feng swiftly opened his eyes at the crack of dawn. Golden raging flames soared outside his body as he circulated his Immortal Bird breathing technique. His energy surged and formed a layer of protective light screen.

At the same time, he moved his body to the side in a flash.

Pcht!

A small dark red wooden arrow streaked past where he was seated cross-legged a moment ago and shot the stone wall in the cave dwelling with a thunk. A terrifying incident occurred when that happened—the stone wall collapsed and was destroyed!

The might from this arrow was too great. If Chu Feng was a step too slow in responding, he would have been shot dead!

“Ancient incantation!?”

Whoosh!

An attempt to assassinate him in Dameng Pure Land had taken place, and in a very dangerous manner at that. Chu Feng trembled in fear because that kind of feathered arrow could threaten him. He stared at that feathered arrow that had exploded and he had an unfathomable expression on his face for a moment.

He had crossed blows with Qin Luoyin before and knew that her sect had slightly older ancient cultivation methods like the witch’s dance. The small wooden arrow from a moment ago had some similarities too.

Was an external universe genius out to assassinate him, or was it someone from Dameng Pure Land’s internal division? The uncertainty made him show an unsightly appearance.

Swhoosh, swhoosh, swoosh…

Silhouettes charged over one after another. A few old folks from Dameng Pure Land had been alarmed and rushed to the area’s vicinity. They had unsightly expressions on their faces because something like this had actually happened.

If a genius from a powerful race died here, they would definitely be badly burnt about the head and have to pay some kind of price for that.

“Little Brother Wu, don’t get angry. We’ll give you an explanation for what happened. Don’t let this incident affect your mood. Your secret rival might be hoping that you lose a peace of mind and be off your game in the divine palace.”

Someone from Dameng Pure Land determined the nature of the incident this time.

Chu Feng nodded and didn’t say anything.

Their investigations into who the culprit was lead to nothing even until noon. But Chu Feng wasn’t the only one who was attacked; countless incidents unexpectedly occurred but Dameng Pure Land had suppressed news of it so no one caused a ruckus over this matter.

Ouyang Feng returned and conversed with Chu Feng for a short period of time. He had a bellyful of anger because they really were talking under the candlelight. He followed an old man into the garden to look at flowers and admire the scenery, but it wasn’t his style at all and it lacked any amorous feelings at all. The more Toad thought about it, the angrier he got.

“He didn’t divulge any insider information to you?”

“No, he didn’t. He only told me to be careful of the people around you plotting against you. Other than that, he didn’t say anything anymore. Do I still need to use him stress this fact?!” Ouyang Feng felt aggrieved.

“Oh right, he even said some baffling things like the hidden true nature of the world,” he added.

After Chu Feng heard that, his expression turned serious. He suffered an attack even before he entered the divine palace. Once he entered, he would most likely encounter even greater danger.

“You’d best be careful for an old man to warn you so seriously. It’s most likely very dangerous inside!” Chu Feng was very serious.

“Sure, I know!” Ouyang Feng nodded.

It was now noon and hundreds of universal geniuses had gathered. They followed an elder from Dameng Pure Land as they walked toward an ancient temple hall.

Birds sang and flowers emitted fragrance along the way. Jade-like flowers were spread over the ground and wonderful flowers fought to stand out splendidly. Clear springs jingled like bells and immortal mist lingered about. The scenery was spectacular.

The temple hall appeared to be very normal and it wasn’t very big either. It was formed by piling stones together and it was situated in a disorderly stone forest all alone. The plants were nowhere to be seen once they arrived at this place.

“Everyone, I have to stress again that everyone can obtain the fortune inside through your own means. Don’t fight against one another!”

“In reality, it is very difficult to fight inside even if you wanted, too. Your bodies can’t move and you’ll all have to rely on your spiritual willpower. When the time comes, your will will enter a bizarre world. It’s best if you guys can work together and form alliances. If not, you’ll definitely feel that you’re too minute and be tormented. Don’t act before thinking it through carefully!”

“Other than that, once you leave that bizarre world, your experiences and part of your memory will automatically dissipate. As such, even though your ancestors have been here before, they are unable to give you excessive pointers. Please remember everything we’ve emphasized. Do not fight amongst yourselves, and it’s best to work together!”

“Yes, even if you fight amongst yourselves, it’s very difficult to kill someone over there in reality. During the most difficult times, the most your spiritual willpower would do is return and you’ll only lose the opportunity to obtain the fortune.”

The person from Dameng Pure Land had said many things.

At this moment, not only were the geniuses in excess of six hundred here, but the one thousand five hundred disciples Dameng Pure Land selected had also arrived. There were even more of them than those who were invited from the outside.

“What you experience inside definitely isn’t fake; it might come true one day. Everything that we visualize in will become the truth about the universe’s future!”

“But it is impossible for you guys to take away those terrifying secrets and experience everything here. After you experience it for yourselves, that is enough for you guys!”

Everyone was gobsmacked when they heard what the person from Dameng Pure Land said, and they slightly felt the weight of it all.

At the same time, Qin Luoyin arrived. She had an exceptional charm and was dressed in gorgeous brightly coloured clothes. Every movement of hers was incomparably elegant and graceful. She had an unspeakable yet distinct beauty that moved people.

But she only nodded at everyone as a sign of sending her greetings and didn’t utter a single word.

At this moment, Chu Feng looked at her and had a nagging feeling that she was slightly different. After that, he unconsciously swept over belly and unexpectedly caused a reaction from her.

Qin Luoyin glanced back and the small area glittered in the twinkling of an eye. A strange expression appeared on her face as she glanced at Chu Feng slightly suspiciously.

After that, Ying Zhexian, Yuan Yuan, and Vermillion Bird Fairly faced forward together. Ying Xiaoxiao was also unexpectedly included amongst them and was allowed to come here. The girls stood with Qin Luoyin; they all knew each other and were goddesses on the same level. For a moment, they started whispering and all of them wore faint smiles on their faces.

There was no doubt that this kind of scene where beauties unmatched in their generation were walking side by side drew the most attention. They could be counted as being exquisitely dainty and ravishingly beautiful as they possessed exceptional charm and their own bearing.

When the divine palace gates were about to open, someone made a report to their superior and were whispering to a few elders.

After that, the elders present frowned and were a little unwilling, but they finally whispered. After discussing things over, someone sighed and made some kind of decision.

“Everyone, I’m sorry. Please wait a moment because three more people are going to join us.”

Everyone had strange expressions on their faces when they heard this news. They could actually add people into the mix at the final juncture. What exactly was the background of these three individuals? Even Daoist Jin Lin, Ying Wudi, and Yuan Shicheng were astounded.

“Everyone, we apologize for being late and making you wait for a long time.”

The trio comprised one boy and two girls. The person heading the trio was dressed in golden battlegear; he was flourishing with heroism and bore the aura of a great conquering general. His long golden hair draped over his shoulders like a god who had descended to the world.

The two girls following behind him had outstanding appearances as well and were extraordinary in their own respect.

“Emissaries!” The direct disciple from the Deity Race who was holding the invitation as he came over shouted out in surprise. In the blink of an eye, everyone knew the identity of the trio.

The people from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace had arrived. It was no wonder that the Dameng Pure Land had to give face to them because they were people who had extensive influence!

Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng exchanged a glance. They went on an expedition using the Deity Race’s name, but in reality, they pillaged using the trios’ name and had encountered the true owners of said name today.

“To all the seniors, many thanks for accommodating us and waiting for us all this time. We will engrave this kindness in our minds and in the bottoms of our hearts.”

The emissary from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace greeted the person from the Dameng Pure Land and expressed his thanks. Regardless of what anyone said, this behaviour would not be badly received.

“Everyone, you can enter!”

As an old man spoke, that ancient stone door rumbled as it was pushed open. It was as though the whole temple halls was made out of rock from its walls to the main gates. If one were to take a closer look, they could tell that this was what was known as tiles and they too were ground out of rock.

“You might see our universe’s true cruel history today!”

“What is even more terrifying is that what you guys experience might probably determine what is going to happen in the future. Go and experience it for yourselves. That dreadful future is filled with great terror, and you’ll touch on that in advance today!”

Such words stunned everyone.

After that, everyone silently entered. More than two thousand people walked into the stone hall that wasn’t large. Yet they weren’t crowded in the slightest because it was pitch-black inside. It was as though a black hole had swallowed up whoever entered the area; they could no longer be seen and no sound could be heard from them.
