Chapter 1505: Time Waits for No One

"I want to become stronger," Zihuan whispered tearfully, clenching her fists. She felt she would never see that devil again, that there would be no more opportunities.

Scenes from the past flashed through her mind, from being adversaries, to being captured, to becoming a captive. The timid yet proud girl had, unknowingly, grown somewhat attached to this Chu devil she once detested.

Zihuan cried, unable to hold back her sorrow.

Just then, a kindly face appeared. Yu Shang handed her a fruit, shimmering brightly with a special Dao charm, faintly resembling an immortal phoenix softly chirping.

"What is this?" Zihuan, her eyes blurred with tears, looked at Yu Shang in confusion.

"If you want to become stronger, eat this."

"What is it?" Zihuan was puzzled, her large, tear-filled eyes full of bewilderment.

Yu Shang explained, "It's a Bloodline Fruit. Chu Feng left it for you to elevate your bloodline to its purest and strongest state. I will protect you while you do it."

"He... left this for me?"

Chu Feng had already left. He didn't want to see sadness and tears at their departure, knowing that this proud girl was actually very fragile, having grown up spoiled by her elders.

Become stronger!

This was his conviction. He needed to rise quickly, looking up at the great hole in the sky. The sacrificial ground was blurred but still present!

He didn't know if, after a certain day, there would be no future.

Time waited for no one; he always felt he was running out of time!

However, he had no choice; he could only continue on his current path.

As Chu Feng journeyed, he was destined to clash with certain tribes. He studied the habits and strengths of the Yuan Clan experts who had established cave dwellings outside their main territory.

The Yuan Clan was one he had to confront!

Not only for Yu Shang, but also for Chu Feng himself, because, both at the Three-Party Battlefield and in the Supreme Forbidden Zone, he had already fought for his life against this clan and was irreconcilable with them.

Collecting evolution soil from the Yuan Clan experts' dojos was the quickest shortcut. He had no psychological burden doing so.

In addition, he also wanted to avenge someone: Stone Fox Celestial Venerable, who was likely connected to the Yuan Clan.

Stone Fox had been banished to an alien realm by his master, his entire body turning to stone as he awaited death.

While in the lesser netherworld, Chu Feng had once entered the alien realm with many prodigies from the Great Dream Pure Land to cultivate. Because of this, he had become contaminated with gray matter and entangled by the ominous.

It was also there that he met Stone Fox. The old fox had helped him greatly, even saving his life, and had given him a treasure map of the Yang Realm.

However, after arriving in the Yang Realm, he had not yet explored it.

This was because he hadn't needed it earlier. He had always been on the strongest path, suppressing his cultivation, cutting himself down from higher realms, and finally honing himself down to the Golden Body realm, making his physical body like a Buddha walking among mortals.

He had only recently completed this process. After that, he began to use pollen, breaking through to the Dual Eternal King realm in one go.

Now, he thought, if he had time, he could go search for the treasure Stone Fox left in the Yang Realm.

However, he had a premonition that it might not be very useful. He wasn't lacking in powerful evolution methods; he had enough for now!

What he lacked most was exotic soil related to evolution.

He didn't know if Stone Fox was safe on Earth, or if he was now completely petrified and unable to move. He hoped he wasn't completely lifeless. If he had the chance, he would go back and rescue him!

Although Stone Fox hadn't explicitly stated it, Chu Feng had realized through various clues that his master was very likely from the Yuan Clan.

Now, various signs were becoming clearer. His master was almost certainly that old monster from the Yuan Clan who had ascended to the Great Universe level hundreds of years ago!

The mighty being of the past had now become a terrifying expert at the Great Universe level.

According to Yu Shang, the Yuan Clan had two terrifying beings: one at the Great Universe level and one ultimate monster.

After detailed investigation, Chu Feng confirmed that the Great Universe level monster was Stone Fox's master, proficient in the laws of time, and had once entered the alien realm.

In the alien realm, the flow of time was severely distorted, too fast. Stone Fox had speculated that his master intended to refine the alien realm into a supreme time treasure!

In the Yang Realm, famous old monsters who mastered time laws were truly rare. The Martial Maniac was one such known figure; his methods were unearthed from a famous mountain after countless life-threatening trials.

Yet, Yu Shang had an unparalleled understanding of the Yuan Clan, knowing that they also harbored time-related techniques!

However, this supreme secret art was only permitted to be viewed by a select few in the Yuan Clan, and it was extremely difficult to master.

Stone Fox Celestial Venerable's master was once incredibly powerful, sweeping through all rivals in his realm. He was invincible in his era, and absolutely qualified to practice it!

A monster capable of sweeping through an era and leading the world was absolutely terrifying and boundless!

Of course, when he rose, he was not contemporaneous with Li, nor with the Martial Maniac. Otherwise, determining who was stronger at the same level would have been a terrifying test.

However, this person was indeed unbelievably monstrous. Since ancient times, few have been able to ascend to the Great Universe level; he was definitely a monster!

He was the foremost mighty being of his time, dominating several eras. In the Yang Realm, he was considered a quasi-invincible being, with one foot already there. As long as Great Universe level beings didn't appear, no one could contend with him.

Now, he himself was a Great Universe level monster, and Stone Fox's master put immense pressure on Chu Feng.

If the stone jar didn't revive on its own, Chu Feng would genuinely have to hide as far away as possible.

He didn't lack confidence or courage, but he also couldn't act recklessly. Reality was full of blood and bones; acting impulsively would lead to no good end.

At the very least, he currently lacked the strength to challenge a Great Universe level monster.

"Hmm, we've arrived!"

Chu Feng arrived in Yuezhou. From a distance, he gazed at a stretch of beautiful mountain peaks. Silver waterfalls cascaded there, and thin mist ascended, reflecting a myriad of colors in the morning glow. The entire mountain forest appeared sacred and somewhat otherworldly.

In this dojo resided a mighty being of the Yuan Clan!

That's right, Chu Feng had set his sights on the mighty being's dojo. He figured such a place wouldn't lack astonishingly high-quality exotic soil. He had already started to look down on Celestial Venerable dojos.

If he was going to do it, he'd go big. He was going to plunder it anyway.

Of course, if he were to truly face a mighty being, he had no confidence. While killing a Great Celestial Venerable had tested his strength, beings of the mighty level were too powerful, and he had no certainty of success.

If he didn't have to fight head-on, he would naturally avoid it. It would be best to visit while the mighty being was not in the dojo.

Chu Feng didn't feel ashamed. How long had he been on the path of evolution? Yet, these old adversaries were monsters from ancient times, having lived for countless years with profound accumulated power.

He circled the dojo, thoroughly studying it, and then departed.

The Yuan Clan, now targeted by him, naturally wasn't just one objective. Furthermore, he didn't want to just plunder one dojo. If possible, he wouldn't mind emptying the 'coffin funds' of several experts who had established cave dwellings outside.

Chu Feng went to Zhuozhou. With his hands clasped behind his back and his eyes deep, he lingered outside a basin for a long time, carefully surveying the terrain.

Next, he made a trip to Huizhou.

He did not act, but instead looked up at the sky. He was waiting for an opportunity, always sensing that a shocking change was about to occur.

Outside the domain, the sacrificial ground was hazy and indistinct, in confrontation with the three artifacts. This wouldn't last long; eventually, the balance would break, leading to a result.

Chu Feng guessed that the Yuan Clan was also waiting. Perhaps they were already preparing to hold a grand meeting within their clan, discussing their future direction behind closed doors.

After all, the heavens had changed, and only one final outcome was pending.

The Yuan Clan had already pledged allegiance elsewhere, so they paid more attention to the outcome in the sky than anyone else.

Chu Feng was waiting. If the three mighty beings left one after another to return to the Yuan Clan, his opportunity would arrive.

If he were to fight a mighty being to the death, directly crossing two major realms to contend, it would be unwise. He might even lose his own life. Since there was an opportunity, waiting was the right choice.

"Hmm, Huizhou. Is one of Stone Fox Celestial Venerable's treasure stashes here?"

Chu Feng's heart stirred. He studied it carefully. Then he set off, moving along the mountain range in a certain direction, searching according to the treasure map clues he had memorized.

For an expert specializing in field arrays, no one was more suitable for this task than him.

With clear clues to the treasure location, this was no difficult feat at all.

A swamp, appearing very quiet, was enveloped in mist. Only some demonic crocodiles lurked within, but their cultivation wasn't profound.

Sparse, massive trees, rooted in the swamp, covered the area, making it dark and damp, constantly deprived of sunlight.

After Chu Feng found this place, he punched down, blasting open the swamp, and then delved deeper.

Soon, he was surprised. Had someone gotten here first? This place had been opened, and the underground palace's restrictions were broken!

Someone reacted even more fiercely than him. In an instant, ten beams of white light shot out, piercing through the void.

However, Chu Feng easily blocked them with a raise of his hand. After all, his current strength was immense; ordinary people in the Yang Realm couldn't even get close to him.

Then, he couldn't help but stare, seeing an acquaintance!

A woman with captivating curves, like a beautiful snake, gracefully undulating. Her slender waist and long, graceful legs were both glistening, partially exposed from beneath her battle skirt.

Her skin was like congealed fat, and her small, palm-sized face was snowy white and crystalline, so exquisitely perfect there wasn't a single flaw, overly beautiful. Her large eyes were moist and full of spirit.

What was most striking were the ten flawless white fox tails behind her, immediately revealing her race: the Celestial Fox!

A Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was already a peerless genius within the fox race, possessing rare talent, seldom seen throughout history.

Yet, this woman had ten tails. She was enchanting and seductive, possessing a charm that could bewitch all beings. This was a unique allure inherent to her race.

"It's you!" Both spoke almost simultaneously.

Chu Feng naturally recognized her. This was the descendant of Stone Fox Celestial Venerable, whom he had met on the Three-Party Battlefield, the renowned fox clan prodigy, the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox.

Back then, he was discovered by the black dog, who seized him with a projection, wanting to take the small black wooden spear from his hand for alchemy. However, when the dog sent him back, it made a teleportation error.

That unreliable dog sent him directly into this woman's bathtub, causing countless splashes.

"You really know my ancestor?"

The woman before him had a unique aura; she was a true vixen, with the demeanor to bewitch all beings, glancing at him with her large, luminous eyes.

The last time they had awkwardly encountered each other on the Three-Party Battlefield, Chu Feng had explained that he knew Stone Fox Celestial Venerable, and had even revealed the old fox's name, Su Can.

"Yes, otherwise how would I have found this place?" Chu Feng nodded, not underestimating this woman. She was a true genius.

Back then, on the Three-Party Battlefield, even as a Great Saint, he had felt a certain pressure when facing this woman. This was because she had, even before him, cut herself down from the Great Saint realm to the Golden Body realm, her Dao foundation astonishingly solid.

However, compared to him now, the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox was a step behind. She was currently only in the Divine level realm.

Of course, this was still enough to shock the outside world. Her Dao foundation remained incredibly solid; she was a formidable figure destined to rise within the fox clan.

In fact, the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox was far more shocked than Chu Feng. It had only been a short time since they last met, and the Cao De from back then, Chu Feng, was now an Eternal King?

The two conversed. Chu Feng didn't conceal anything, telling her his realm; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to tell.

"So, if there's any hidden treasure here, I don't need it. You can continue cultivating here. I'm just looking for exotic soil right now."

Chu Feng didn't hold much hope. Stone Fox had given him several treasure locations, but this one didn't look like it would contain exotic soil.

Indeed, the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox shook her head. Then, she gave a captivating smile, and for a moment, the entire underground palace lit up. It was truly extraordinary, a natural charm inherent to the fox clan.

"Don't smile at me like that, I already have children!" Chu Feng said with a straight face.

The Ten-tailed Celestial Fox's face immediately darkened. She really wanted to sweep him out with a single tail.

"I just wanted to thank you for telling me about my ancestor. You don't have to leave; you can cultivate here too. There's a set of profound mental cultivation techniques here." The fox clan genius said, annoyed.

Chu Feng was a bit curious: how powerful were these mental cultivation techniques? He followed her in, and saw a method for soul light evolution. It was indeed incredibly profound, and he memorized it on the spot.

However, with the Robbing Guidance Breathing Technique, the golden runes on the stone jar, and the martial arts repository he had taken from the Martial Maniac, he was no longer lacking in cultivation methods.

Chu Feng didn't want to waste time here, afraid of missing the opportunity to raid the mighty beings' strongholds, so he prepared to leave immediately.

However, before leaving, he thought for a moment, and revealed all the treasure locations Stone Fox Celestial Venerable had told him about, sharing them with the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox.

He felt these treasures rightfully belonged to the Celestial Fox Clan.

The Ten-tailed Celestial Fox was moved, realizing that this person was very frank, had no desire to possess these treasures, and had directly given them all to her.

"My ancestor..." She wanted to ask if Stone Fox Celestial Venerable could endure, but she also feared receiving bad news.

"His situation is very difficult, but I think he's resilient. You should strive to evolve. Later, I'll take you to the lesser netherworld, and we'll rescue him together!"

Then, Chu Feng left, to retrieve the mighty-level soil he had earmarked.

There was one thing he didn't say: the world was changing, and no one knew what tomorrow would bring. The premise was that he himself had to survive, otherwise, what future could there be to talk about?

"Why haven't they returned to the Yuan Clan yet?!" Chu Feng frowned.

Throughout the day, he had been setting up field arrays in Huizhou, Zhuozhou, and Yuezhou, traveling back and forth multiple times. He found that the three ancient, decaying old fellows remained dormant, not moving at all.

"The world has changed; won't they be summoned back to discuss important matters?"

Chu Feng remained calm and decided to wait further.

"I should find Old Gu and see if he can gather a large amount of Celestial Venerable level soil and mighty-level exotic soil!" Chu Feng thought of Old Gu.

After all, Old Gu had cried his heart out, only to finally discover that his sworn elder brother, Li, was still alive. Li, that dark-faced guy, would probably have to compensate him and give him an explanation.

Moreover, Old Gu had been a typical "brother-eater" back then, hiding many good things, all buried in mountains across various regions.

In addition, Old Gu had founded over a dozen organizations. Although most had vanished over the long years, one remained: the Emperor Support Organization.

Such a flamboyant and narcissistic name could only have been thought of by Old Gu. Did he want to become an Immortal Emperor or something?

Chu Feng and Old Gu had several times leveraged the influence of this organization and had them exert their power. For example, when they clashed with others, Old Gu had secretly mobilized hundreds of Divine Kings with a token to reinforce their position. That incident had shocked an entire province and had a huge impact!

Furthermore, the last time Chu Feng had annihilated Black Capital and wiped out a nest of assassins, he had also used this organization to investigate Black Capital's detailed information beforehand by posting messages on the dark web.

Chu Feng found a place and entered a region of technological civilization. He connected to the internet and logged into a specific dark web, which was his private communication method with Old Gu, leaving a secret message.

He didn't expect that before he could even log out, he received an instant reply. Old Gu was clearly also in a technological civilization region.

Then, Chu Feng decisively contacted him directly via communicator, projecting his image to converse face-to-face.

Old Gu really knew how to enjoy himself. He was drinking in a splendid, ornately decorated clubhouse, with two beautiful women seemingly helping him pour wine beside him.

However, the two beauties weren't entirely visible on the screen, so he couldn't see them clearly.

"Old Gu, have you seen your sworn brother, Li, yet? Did he give you an explanation, or leave you a treasure? Any immortal-grade exotic soil?"

"Get lost!" Old Gu was furious, spilling wine from his mouth. That unreliable brother of his had made him weep bitterly, so sorrowful he cried his heart out, only to turn out to be a big liar in the end... and now he had run off again, not even bothering to see him.

Whether it was out of guilt or embarrassment, he ultimately only left Old Gu a piece of paper with a breathing technique and three profound arts written on it, telling him to practice diligently, without even showing his face!

Old Gu was seething with anger. He really wanted to see his sworn brother and ask him face-to-face: Li, you dark-faced scoundrel, where is your conscience? Aren't you ashamed? To trick your own brother into such despair, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Old Gu, stop drinking and get me some exotic soil, I desperately need it!" Chu Feng called out.

"Talk later, I just want to drink. I'm practically dying of anger; I really want to find someone to beat up my brother. But alas, no one can beat him!" Old Gu said indignantly.

"Find me then! Invest in me, give me enough evolution soil to rise quickly, and I'll help you beat up your brother later!" Chu Feng declared, patting his chest.

"Stop bragging, you still can't beat me. Never mind, I'm done talking to you. I'm going to drink with my dream lover." Clearly, Old Gu was not in the mood for conversation and was still very lost and irritable.

Chu Feng's face instantly darkened. He said, "Wait a minute, who did you say you're drinking with?!"

He knew who Old Gu's dream lover was: Qin Luoyin's previous incarnation, the prehistoric era's foremost beauty—Qingyin.

"My Qingyin, of course!" Old Gu said.

"I'll beat you to death! That's the mother of my child! Even though I have no connection with her anymore, Old Gu, if you dare to lay a hand on her, don't blame me for appearing there."

"This is outrageous! Li, that dark-faced scoundrel, is a jerk, and you're being a jerk too! How dare you both defy me! Especially you, why do you blaspheme Qingyin? Even though my impression of her is fading, she was once a cherished thought. If you talk nonsense again, I promise I'll appear there first and give you a good beating!" Old Gu fumed.

"You old fart!" There was no reasoning with him. Chu Feng was speechless. Old Gu thought he was teasing him and blaspheming the goddess, completely disbelieving that he even had a son.

Then, he saw it. Opposite Old Gu was a yellowed scroll painting. The person in the painting indeed resembled Qin Luoyin, it was the prehistoric era's foremost beauty, Fairy Qingyin.

Chu Feng stopped talking. It wasn't the real person, so he stopped provoking Old Gu.

Finally, he said again, "Old Gu, your temper's gotten worse! Don't delay, I need to advance! If you don't give me exotic soil soon, I'll come find trouble with you immediately!"

"Come on! I'm a Great Celestial Venerable now; I can beat two of you. Don't think being an Eternal King or killing a Celestial Venerable is so great. I can still suppress you right now!" Old Gu, with red lips and white teeth, looking like a graceful young man, seemed quite youthful, yet he was also very irritable at the moment.

Chu Feng was genuinely astonished. This guy had become a Great Celestial Venerable; his evolution was too fast!

However, he soon felt relieved. This old fellow's previous incarnation had stored many good things in various places, all prepared for this current life.

Furthermore, Old Gu's physical body couldn't even be considered a new body; it was fundamentally the same one. It was just to achieve perfection and transcendence, making its potential even more astonishing. He had walked the path of the Nine Nether Ghouls, burying himself in the netherworld to start anew.

"Ahem, Old Gu, just now... not long ago, I just killed a Great Celestial Venerable, from the Yuan Clan."

"What did you say?!" Old Gu was shocked and disbelieving. He wanted to curse. "I just became a Great Celestial Venerable, wanting to subtly show off a bit, and you tell me you just killed one?"

"Exactly! I'm very eager, very desperate to transform again. I really need evolution soil right now!" Chu Feng said.

"You... how much do you want?" Old Gu asked, half-believing, half-doubting.

"Mighty-level exotic soil, give me a hundred thousand catties!" Chu Feng shouted.

"How much?!" Old Gu almost dropped his communicator to the ground. Then, he dug his ears, afraid he had misheard.

"One hundred thousand catties!"
