The Sacred Ruins

“I’m going to perfect it. Why wouldn’t I? Why would I want to abandon the opportunity to successfully master such a glorious and world-shattering indigenous technique when it’s laid out before my eyes?!” Chu Feng rubbed his fists and wiped his palms.

The silver-haired little lolita curled her lips and said, “Look at you. Green light is shining from your eyes and you look like a large tailed wolf.”

Chu Feng laughed mockingly. He was only momentarily excited because based on what Ying Zhexian said, this Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique was too extraordinary. Even the Five-colored Divine Light that could purportedly fell all living beings was no match for this technique; it really was in defiance of the natural order of the world.

Ouyang Feng was excited as he urged Ying Zhexian to talk about the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique in great detail from where it came from exactly and why it could be so powerful.

Ying Zhexian smiled and said, “It’s very simple. You know how powerful it is just by comparing it with the Five-colored Divine Light. The Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique uses seven corresponding types of soul light. It is difficult for all living beings in the world to escape the force of its single sweep.”

Based on what she said, this kind of indigenous technique had two extra kinds of soul light compared to the Five-colored Divine Light. It wasn’t a simple method of adding and subtracting, but rather it was a disparity in the quality of soul lights.

Ouyang Feng tweaked his ears and scratched his cheeks when he heard it. He couldn’t wait to start learning this right away, but what Ying Zhexian said next made him feel dispirited.

“You have to get the seven rarest kinds of immortal clouds and divine mists in the world if you want to learn the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique. It’s only possible to successfully master the technique with these rare treasured materials.”

At the end of the day, the cloudeater realm was too important because it was the foundational source of developing the divine technique!

If one could find many kinds of special and rare divine afterglow and immortal mists in this realm, the individual could cultivate many kinds of combat technique unique to that individual.

This was where the so-called Ten Ultimate Techniques came from; ten Rare World Treasures were needed.

But the appearance of a technique that could destroy a myriad of techniques and the Five-coloured Divine Light with an unbeatable battle record proved to the people that the Ten Ultimate Techniques couldn’t stand above the rest because it still had another technique that was on par with it.

Consuming the six qis and imbibing the evening mist, gargling with pure Yang and swallowing the rays of dawn. Even during the end of the dharmic ages, the ancients had this kind of comprehension after the spirit qi on ancient Earth dried up. The importance of partaking in clouds and qi could clearly be seen.

Even the depths of the starry sky that was highly civilized in evolution also defined the cloudeater realm as where the foundation of techniques was at as well as the source of divine techniques.

Ouyang Feng watched helplessly, but he couldn’t do anything. He had also absorbed a few unusual afterglows before, but they were all in his physical body, and he didn’t bring them in with him at all.

Ying Zhexian shook her head and said, “The most uncommon divine afterglow and immortal mist can fuse with the soul and be brought in together. It is invaluable. If not, how can it be called the World’s Rare Treasure?”

Ouyang Feng’s face immediately crumbled. He wanted to learn such a wonderful technique, yet he didn’t even possess the qualifications to do so.

Chu Feng frowned, too, because this was too demanding.

“It’s very difficult to find one World’s Rare Treasure, much less seven kinds of them. It seems like you guys still haven’t figured out the definition of what a so-called rare treasure is,” Ying Xiaoxiao teased.

“How rare and precious can it be?” Ouyang Feng was unconvinced.

The silver-haired little lolita snorted and swatted the back of his head before she said to Chu Feng, “The Dao Race is powerful, right? They’re reckoned to be the first or second best in our universe. But, they only found one origin substance that can be called the World’s Rare Treasure for their Daoist Jin Lin. That’s the reason why he walked the path of cultivating one technique that can destroy a myriad of techniques. He uses that kind of origin qi that can absorb other ordinary afterglows and divine mist to continuously strengthen himself.”

At this moment, even Chu Feng sucked in a cold breath. Wasn’t it too difficult to find that so-called World’s Rare Treasure?

“One can only come across such things serendipitously. Even if you intend to look for it, you might not necessarily encounter one in hundreds and thousands of years,” said Ying Zhexian.

Chu Feng gave up completely. This was too demanding. It was no wonder that no one could successfully perfect the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique.

“Huh, that’s not right. Wait a moment. You successfully perfected the Five-colored Divine Light. Could it be that you’ve found five kinds of World’s Rare Treasures?” Chu Feng was indefinitely bewildered.

If that was the case, the Quasi-saint Race was really too terrifying.

“Indeed. I’ve found five kinds of fantastic substances. They’re only barely considered to be precious, but calling it rare is out of the question.” Ying Zhexian shook her head.

The Quasi-saint Race helped her find five kinds of matters that were all considered to be rare throughout the world. They represented five kinds of attributes which just happened to tally with the requirements needed to perfect the Five-colored Divine Light.

But this could only be considered to be a “Quasi World’s Rare Treasure”. It was a chunk further than the true rare substances needed, but even so, it could already be used to perfect a divine technique.

“The Quasi-saint Race is so powerful, yet they could only find something that is barely a rare substance. How can anyone live like that?!” Ouyang Feng grumbled.

The silver-haired little lolita put on the appearance of a little adult as she tilted her chin upward and said, “That’s right. Presently, only Daoist Jin Lin has a true rare matter. Shi Hong might have it as well. Unless you thoroughly pillage the ten great treasuries, you might only be able to pool together five rare substances.”

She blinked with her large eyes and said, “Other than that, these uncommon substances are carefully selected for quality based on their attributes. You can only use them together after fusing them together. If their attributes are not compatible, it’s useless even if really manage to defy the natural order of the world and find seven kinds of World’s Rare Treasures.”

“This abnormal ways of the world really makes one give up all hope!” Ouyang Feng sighed and had a dejected look on his face.

This kind of prerequisite was far from being demanding; it was simply a dead end. There was simply no means of cultivating it at all.

“That’s why those from the Yang Realm are said to be savage. There is a written record on a prehistoric stone table that recounts that there was actually someone who really did successfully perfect it which made people awfully envious!” Ying Xiaoxiao pouted and had an unresigned look on her face.

Chu Feng felt that he was at his wit’s end, too. He wanted to learn the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique. The initial conditions alone were too perverse, much less the various difficulties following after that.

He felt that the one or two divine afterglows he had ought to be out of the ordinary and was very skillful, but there was still too great a discrepancy between that and the number seven.

“There’s nothing to be said. The sacred medicine and divine beast medicine is before our eyes. Let’s quickly wash off all our Yin qi and talk about this after we increase our strength. To hell with the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique and the Eight Mysterious Revolving Techniques!” said Chu Feng.

Ouyang Feng shared the same opinion. The fortune was before their eyes so they should grab what was truly right by their side first!

Ancient trees that were full of vitality reached high to the sky in this region. Primal chaos qi filled the air above the mountain peak in the distance, and the howls of beasts even deeper in the jungle made the sky shake.

Chu Feng had laid out a domain a long time ago to separate this area from the outside world. Soon after, he made adjustments to it once more so that they couldn’t hear the sounds on the outside and ensured that they were completely isolated from the world.

“Shrrp!”

“Aoooo...”

Ouyang Feng was torturing himself as he smeared the divine beast blood that had mud stuck to it onto his body. In the end, black smoke surged from his body as though he was burning. After that, he wailed like a ghost and howled like a wolf as he was in unbearable pain.

“This is too scary. I don’t want to baptize my soul!” Ying Xiaoxiao turned pale as she was greatly frightened.

“You can only live if you baptize the Yin qi from your body. If not, you’ll immediately turn to ashes when an arrow is shot at you when you encounter Pu Lin next time!” said Ying Zhexian.

“Then I’ll take it slow. Ah! How painful! Elder Sister, what are you doing? I’m not ready yet! I’m burning! Ah, save me! The little fairy who is the most gifted and passionate is about to burn to a crisp!” wailed the silver-haired little lolita. She was kicking her legs and waving her hands about in a disorderly manner as she rolled in Ying Zhexian’s arms. That was a miserable state.

In reality, Ying Zhexian only dropped a wisp of divine beast blood on her body, and it couldn’t even be considered to be a full drop. She even smeared it evenly on Ying Xiaoxiao with a secret technique.

One could say that this really was really being gentle and careful to the extreme. She only gave her younger sister a little to the point where she wasn’t emitting green smoke and her Yang qi hadn’t been washed out, either.

Yet the result was that she was in such an exaggerated state as she rolled about and made an unreasonable scene there while she shrieked miserably again and again. She thought that her older sister had sprinkled her whole body with divine beast blood, but that was actually not the case at all.

Chu Feng found it strange as he looked at her and wanted to laugh.

Ouyang Feng was even nastier as he walked over and maliciously cried out, “How terrible! Your ear burned off! Oh god! The divine beast blood burned your nose off to nothingness too!”

“Ah, my god... this is really hurting me! I don’t have my ears and nose anymore! It’s so painful! Elder Sister, I don’t want to live anymore!” Ying Xiaoxiao shut her eyes and rolled about in her older sister’s arms as she wailed. This was practically heart-wrenching.

Ying Zhexian glared at Toad and she sent him flying with a ray of Five-colored Divine Light.

“You grew an ear! Oh no! You have two more noses!” Chu Feng teased this little girl too.

The silver-haired little lolita clearly knew that something was amiss too. She rapidly spun and crawled up to rub her eyes and touch her nose. She was flustered and exasperated as she fought Chu Feng and Toad with all her might.

“The both of you are too bad! You’re mean!”

Evidently, such a relaxed manner could only persist for a short period of time.

Next, even Chu Feng was letting out a low roar much less Ying Xiaoxiao. After they sprinkled that resplendent bright red divine blood on their bodies, that kind of pain they felt was simply unbearable.

What was torture resembling hell? That was what they were going through now. They were tantamount to refining their souls!

Ouyang Feng howled in grief as he rolled about all over the ground. He was really exaggerating it compared to the others as he completely let himself go. As long as he was in pain, he would start rolling about without a care for his image.

On the other side, Ying Zhexian was submerged in vigorously flourishing scarlet light. She kept shuddering and let out soft sounds a few times as she resisted the pain with much difficulty.

Ying Xiaoxiao had tearful eyes as she circulated the incomplete Dameng breathing technique. This was a breathing technique that was handed down in Dameng Pure Land; it was a self-hypnosis technique that could devoid her of feeling the pain. After that, she proceeded to baptize her soul.

A few people died and revived as a day and night passed. Green and black smoke continuously rose within this domain as Yin qi was burning away.

At the same time, they continuously took sacred medicines as well. Its medicinal efficacy was astonishing; every time their soul bodies dimmed, they would regain their vitality after this medicinal herb replenished them and their Yang qi was increasing as well.

When the next day came around, they heaved a little sigh. It was extremely effective since their respective Yin qi had faced a steep decline of more than eighty percent!

Moreover, they had an adequate amount of sacred medicine and still had divine beast blood. They had saved more than they imagined and it seemed as though it was enough to successfully perfect themselves into pure Yang souls.

Chu Feng was feeling slightly relaxed as he lay there and no longer wanted to move.

Once he reached this step, baptizing the Yin qi shouldn’t be a problem. He really had to consider perfecting some kind of divine technique after this.

Unfortunately, the threshold to cultivate the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique was far too high. Who could wait until various kinds of conditions were matured to perfect such a technique?

“Fairy Ying, do you have two kinds of divine techniques using two kinds of precious substances as its catalyst to perfect them successfully?” asked Chu Feng.

That wisp of qi he had obtained in purgatory ought to be very unusual, so it should be considered to be an uncommon substance. He wondered whether it was World’s Rare Treasure.

“I do.” Ying Zhexian’s reply was very concise.

“You really do? For example?” Chu Feng had energy again.

“After combining the two kinds of immortal Yin and Yang qi, it can form the Yin-Yang qi. It will emit Yin-Yang Light and easily obliterate your opponent.”

Ying Zhexian gave an example: Once an individual successfully perfected the Yin-Yang Divine Light, the individual would practically be unstoppable. The concrete style of the attack was very mature too, for example, one could evolve it into the Yin-Yang Scissors that could cut off a great number of soldiers; the individual could evolve it into the Yin-Yang Furnace and refine all enemies into flying ashes.

To sum it up, these two uncommon Yin and Yang origin substances were exceptionally precious. Once the individual devoted themselves to cultivate these origin substances after it fused into their souls, they would possess astonishing power.

In addition to that, the Yin-Yang Light had many mature styles with boundless indigenous uses.

“That’s good. I’ll smelt the Yin and Yang qi then!” Chu Feng was brimming with confidence.

Ying Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, “Tch, save your swanking. Do you think it’s possible with two Yin and Yang qi you found at random? They have to be top origin matters within their respective attributes. There are much less of these substances compared to other World’s Rare Treasures!”

“I still want to perfect this kind of divine technique regardless!” Chu Feng smiled and said.

“Young man, it’s best not to bite off more than you can chew. You have to have your feet firmly planted on the ground. It’s very difficult to find the two World’s Rare Treasures with both the Yin and Yang qi attributes.” Ying Xiaoxiao looked proud of her age and experience. She rolled her eyes as she said, “If that wasn’t the case, my Elder Sister would’ve perfected the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique a long time ago.”

“What connection does the Five-coloured Divine Light have with the Yin-Yang qi?” asked Chu Feng in astonishment.

“Naturally, if you have the Yin and Yang Divine Light, you can form the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique by adding that up with the Five-colored Divine Light!” Ying Xiaoxiao murmured.

“If you have the rare origin matters of both the Yin and Yang qi, you might as well tie the knot with my Elder Sister as Dao companions and cultivate together. You guys can fully utilize the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique if you join hands. When the time comes, the both of you would definitely be unparalleled in the whole world,” she teased.

“That’s reasonable. I can consider that.” Chu Feng repeatedly nodded.

After that, Ying Xiaoxiao let out a miserable shriek and held her head with tears in her eyes as her older sister sorted her out. A large lump grew on her forehead.

She was very unhappy as she pouted and said, “I’m not just saying this as I please. Anyway, how can he possibly find two kinds of Yin and Yang World’s Rare Treasures? Even the Dao Race found one type of Rare World Treasure for Jin Lin which possessed the attributes of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, so the Great Demon Chu definitely won’t have it.”

“I really do have this.” Chu Feng coughed.

Ying Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, “If you really have those two kinds of the World’s Rare Treasures, I will approve of it and permit you to tie the knot with Ying Zhexian as Dao companions. You don’t need my respectable parents’ approval; you can pass via this little immortal’s approval.”
