The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 253 Born to be a Jerk, the Way of the Field

In just one meal, Chu Feng had already been decided by Shao Hua and Yao Yao.

"Am I really being a bit of a masochist?" He stroked his chin, thinking that he was more than that, cough cough, not that bad.

As a model young person of the new era, how could I possibly be that kind of person? I'm clearly a handsome, dashing, and irresistible person!

He composed himself and asked, "What exactly happened in ancient times on Earth? And Sister Shaoguang, are you from an era even more ancient than that?"

Yao Yao shook her head and told him that he was not at a high enough level and should not easily get involved in that past, otherwise he might bring disaster upon himself.

The recent spiritual energy resurgence and the arrival of those extraterrestrials are indeed related to events that occurred on Earth in ancient times.

Chu Feng had already learned most of this from Huang Niu.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Even the little demoness doesn't dare to talk much about the ancient times. It's not that I can't talk about my past, but are you sure you dare to listen?" Shao Hua glanced at the two of them and said calmly.

Chu Feng panicked a little, feeling that this woman wouldn't speak without reason; Yao Yao, on the other hand, was fearless, having already died before, and her eyes held a hint of anticipation.

"What you call ancient times is but a fleeting moment to me. Oh, by the way, actually, Shaoguang is not my real name."

Shao Hua spoke slowly, but as soon as she started, Yao Yao and Chu Feng felt a sense of unease, as if some indescribable power was about to descend.

An intuition told them that if they listened any longer, something unpredictable might happen, something that would be more of a disaster than a blessing, and it would definitely cause a big problem!
At that very moment, the situation in Kunlun changed dramatically.

The entire Earth, and even the entire universe, trembled slightly, as if the unnamed figure were some unspeakable taboo, and indeed it was.

Shao Hua smiled, looking at them with a leisurely air, and chuckled, "So, do you want to know my real name? I can tell you."

"Of course I want to know, but not now," Chu Feng said stiffly at first, then decided to leave the question for himself in the future.

Yao Yao didn't speak, but just stared intently at Shao Hua, feeling that this great witch was becoming more and more unfathomable, and perhaps the saying that she was invincible in the human world was not an exaggeration.

This woman's background is absolutely beyond imagination!
Perhaps, she really does have the ability to resurrect herself.
"Alright, don't pry into my affairs anymore. Just know that I have no reason to harm you and would never do so," Shao Hua said, waving her hand.

Next, she had Chu Feng sense the strange substance within his body.

Chu Feng was startled. He hadn't expected that after the previous enlightenment and the great battle, the black and silvery-white substances would transform wildly and eventually form a balance within his body, with two substances that came from the same source but seemed to be completely opposite coexisting.

In the past, it was either black or white, very simple; things are different now.

At the same time, the energy in his body was gradually depleted, and soon it was completely gone, leaving him almost as an ordinary person.

"The black and white substances are opposing yet intertwined, like a millstone turning." Yao Yao diagnosed him, her expression somewhat strange.

Although this substance is rare, she had a certain status in the past and had naturally come into contact with it, using it to hone herself.

However, none of them did what Chu Feng did, directly storing a large amount inside their bodies, and their cultivation levels upon contact were incomparable.

"It really is like a millstone, grinding away all the energy in my body." Chu Feng agreed with this description.

After his initial worry subsided, he became excited and looked at Shaohua, saying, "Sister, you went to all this trouble to arrange for me to come into contact with this substance. There must be some benefit to it, right? Don't worry, I'll do anything, no matter how hard or tiring, as long as you give the order!"

Who knew that after hearing these words, Shaohua's eyes became somewhat unfocused.

Is she going to say that she just saw you getting a little too cocky and having it too easy, so she deliberately used some forgotten dark matter to play a trick on you?
"Over this period of time, you must have felt the coldness and warmth of human relationships. Only through loss can one truly appreciate the hard-won nature of strength."

Shao Hua said earnestly, "You've had it too easy all this time. You need to face this tribulation to calm your mind, break free of your shackles, and then you can finally be free."

“You’re right. During this period of meditation, I’ve come to understand many things and studied the Dao of Fields. I’ve truly benefited a lot,” Chu Feng nodded.

“If you do have some talent in the Dao of the Field, perhaps I can grant you a chance,” Yao Yao suddenly interjected.

With her discerning eye, she easily saw through the few small areas Chu Feng had set up in this palace; they were quite ordinary and hardly worth mentioning.

However, it should be noted that Chu Feng had never been exposed to the Dao of the Field before. He only relied on some fragments to comprehend some of its principles in a short period of time, which was already quite remarkable.

One of her uncles is a Saint Master of the Dao of the Field, comparable to a powerhouse at the level of reflecting all the heavens. He left his legacy on the moon, and it remains to be seen whether Chu Feng is qualified.

"How can I recover?" Chu Feng thanked Yao Yao, but these were all empty words; he was more concerned about his own strength.

"It still depends on yourself. I originally just wanted to temper your character, but I never expected that this dark substance would mutate several times within your body, turning into a new opportunity. If you can completely solidify it and make it your own, there will be many benefits," Shao Hua said.

"Relying on myself?" Chu Feng was somewhat surprised.

"What, you have so little confidence in yourself? I just played a supporting role, giving you a fighting chance."

Shao Hua smiled and said, "It's undeniable that there was an element of luck involved, but you persevered from beginning to end on your own."

Her words greatly boosted Chu Feng's confidence. The problem was, how should he solve it?

This woman definitely has a solution, but since things have already come to this point, asking for help again would only disappoint her, which is not advisable.

"When you encounter problems, think things through. If one path is blocked, then find another. Sometimes, there is already a solution to the problem, but you just haven't realized it yet," Shaohua advised.

"You mean the Dao of Fields?" Chu Feng's eyes gradually brightened.

Shao Hua smiled without saying a word, glancing at the little enchantress beside her.

Yao Yao pursed her lips, reached out and touched Chu Feng's brow, imparting the method of field manipulation.

Although she did not follow this path, she did have a holy teacher uncle, and through constant exposure, she still learned quite a lot. She could choose not to study it, but she could not be ignorant of it.

Chu Feng was overjoyed, but instead of rushing to solve his own problem, he took the two to the ancient temple in the snowy mountains, hoping to rescue his friends who had been missing for a long time.

“A Buddhist temple.” Yao Yao recognized the ancient temple’s origins at a glance.

"Sure enough, another Bodhi tree." Shaohua shook her head. There was also a Bodhi ancestral root in Kunlun Heavenly Palace. She could make some bracelets from it later.

The two women strolled leisurely, but Chu Feng was different. He carried the Great Thunder Bow and relied on Buddhist relics and his half-baked field ability to reach the depths.

Upon closer inspection, the ground was covered with birds and beasts, lying among the rubble.

All the beast kings were reduced to their original forms, and most importantly, their cultivation levels were completely wiped out, turning them into ordinary creatures.

Chu Feng was stunned. What was going on? Why did he have to learn to dissipate his cultivation? Is it true that birds of a feather flock together?

Shaohua and Yaoyao watched the whole thing from the sidelines, showing no intention of intervening.

Chu Feng heard the chanting under the Bodhi tree and his heart stirred. It actually carried the essence of the Great Thunder Sound Breathing Technique.

In order to awaken the beast kings, he risked shaking the Bodhi tree, and was so oppressed by the terrifying energy that his body cracked and he was covered in blood.

Amidst the rumbling, the decaying ancient tree swayed, on the verge of destruction, and a temple emerged, grand and sacred, radiating boundless Buddhist light. The temple stood beside a Bodhi tree, with several prayer wheels in front of it. He felt that one of the stone prayer wheels contained the scriptures of the Great Thunder Breathing Method.

As the Bodhi tree decayed, the beast kings scattered across the ground gradually awoke, but Chu Feng had not yet retreated, still wanting to obtain the true Great Thunder Breathing Technique.

Unexpectedly, the stone prayer wheel also contained black substances in its outer layer, which resonated with the black substances in his body, making his already precarious situation even worse, with the black and white substances changing incredibly rapidly.

But it was under these circumstances that he sensed the scriptures!

Chu Feng was unwilling to give up halfway and really wanted to complete the task, so he continued forward, his body being torn apart, until he finally touched the stone prayer wheel.

The prayer wheel shattered, turning into dust that fell in a flurry. As expected, the black substance within it all entered his body, instantly collapsing the fragile balance of black and white. However, a breathing technique also appeared in his mind.

"I never imagined that the stone-skinned prayer wheel could actually restore and reproduce the ancient scriptures on the black material."

Chu Feng swayed precariously, his body on the verge of falling apart, but he was filled with joy. When he turned around and saw that Huang Niu and the others had woken up, he immediately fainted.

A group of beast kings rushed over and quickly helped him up.

However, these beast kings were not in good condition either. Their cultivation had also been reduced. Of course, this was actually an illusion, not a disaster, but an opportunity.

After they recovered, the benefits gradually became apparent. Their physical bodies became stronger, which was equivalent to rebuilding their foundation and enhancing their potential. They were stronger than before at the same level.

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise. Crisis is often accompanied by opportunity and good fortune," Shaohua sighed.

"So what about the good fortune you promised me?" Yao Yao asked.

"No rush. Some guys from outside the realm are making some small moves. Let's see how things go first," Shao Hua reassured him, but in reality, he was stalling for time while secretly dissecting the scriptures.

Within the Kunlun Heavenly Palace, vast fields of immortal herbs are planted, including even 'quasi-emperor herbs' imbued with the aura of her former Dao Ancestor, making it incredibly easy to save a person.

It's simple, but it's not the best way.

No matter how good the elixir is, it cannot guarantee a perfect recreation of the original person, unless it is a truly supreme divine elixir that can reflect their return in a way equivalent to that of an immortal emperor.

Therefore, the best solution is to revive Yao Yao's obsession, reunite her soul, and reshape her true form.

The last legacy she left behind in her previous life was a supreme scripture that surpassed the level of an Immortal Emperor, possessing incredible power.

If one can grasp even a fraction of it, one can completely revive oneself.

It simply requires a higher level of comprehension, takes a longer time, and has a lower success rate.

On the other side, after Chu Feng woke up, he taught the Great Thunder Sound Breathing Technique to Huang Niu, and the black and white matter in his body also turned into a small black and white millstone after he woke up.

"That's enough to cultivate to the Golden Body realm!" said the yellow ox.

The complete Great Thunder Sound Breathing Method exists only within Buddhism and cannot be passed down to outsiders. It is already quite remarkable to have obtained so much of it.

"I need to delve into the Dao of Fields, and you should also resume your cultivation as soon as possible. The future is destined to be even more turbulent," Chu Feng said.

It must be said that his talent in the field is truly extraordinary, even surpassing his talent in evolution.

He himself may not have realized it yet, but Yao Yao, who was observing from the shadows, had already noticed it.

"Perhaps, Uncle Saint Master really does have a successor!" Yao Yao exclaimed in surprise.

For nearly half a month, Shaohua took Chufeng to travel around, climbing various strange peaks, listening to the waves of the East China Sea, and experiencing the natural world firsthand.

She only gave some guidance; how to do it and which path to take was entirely up to Chu Feng himself.

Just like the path of evolution, combat is the best way to unleash the potential of life; and in the realm of the field, true knowledge comes from practice.

The so-called array patterns, Dao traces, and fields are actually similar and interconnected, just with different names. They are all symbolic representations of the earth, mountains, rivers, and even the sun, moon, and stars. They represent the great forces of heaven and earth, and those principles are all attached to all things in the world.

From mountains and earth veins to magnets, jade blocks, and underground soil, Chu Feng touched and experienced them all, gaining a great deal and making rapid progress in his understanding of the field.

He originally intended to use methods of nourishing people to help himself recover, but it had no effect. No matter how much vitality and energy he increased, it would only be crushed by the small millstone formed by black and white matter, causing it to dissipate, making it all a futile effort.

Then he took a different approach, using the method of nurturing soldiers to cultivate the black and white millstone within his body, which became increasingly realistic and refined.

"Hahaha, I did it! I did it!"

Chu Feng shouted and couldn't help but burst into laughter. He had found a solution: as long as he solved the problem with the black and white millstone, he would be fine.

The black and white matter is taking shape. Once it condenses into an object and is finally formed, it can help purify energy, temper blood and qi, and help improve strength.

The most powerful lineages and their divine sons and holy daughters beyond the realm also possess similar items, which are extremely rare and priceless.

Finally, he went to great lengths to contact various forces, using the field technique to persuade various financial magnates, and even made a cooperation agreement with the East Sea Sea Clan. He used the terrain of the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace on Zijin Mountain in Jiangning to refine the Black and White Millstone and restore his own cultivation.

Of course, there's a reason why Shaohua and Yaoyao both agreed that he was a bit of a jerk.

Even at this moment, Chu Feng did not forget to plot against people, attracting a large group of people who had ill intentions towards him, all of whom were burned to ashes by the Bagua Furnace Field.

"He has the air of an old friend!" That's how Shaohua commented.

She still remembered that there was a boy named Ye in the past, who was also a bold and ruthless person, but in her opinion, this Xiao Chu was even more despicable than that Xiao Ye.

Ye Fan is just ruthless, but most of the time he's still reliable. Chu Feng, on the other hand, is just naturally a bit of a jerk, which makes him disliked by everyone.

"There is a large tomb here that can provide the power of Yin, but why do I have a feeling that this place is somehow connected to me?"

Yao Yao's expression changed, and she looked surprised as she saw a corpse demon covered in black hair crawling out of the large tomb beneath the Tai Shang terrain.

The massive corpse demon was wrapped in countless metal chains, numbering in the dozens or even hundreds, which locked many parts of its body, creating a suppressive force that prevented its energy from escaping.

"Roar!"

The Corpse Demon roared, turned around and looked in the direction where Yao Yao had disappeared. Two scarlet blood lights shone through the black fur on its face, and it uttered a muffled whisper.

Yao Yao's entire body glowed with a pure white light. Her red lips were slightly pursed, her eyebrows were arched, but her eyes became moist as she stared intently at the corpse demon.

If she hadn't already perished, she would surely be weeping now.

"Grandpa?!" Yao Yao called out subconsciously, her body trembling, revealing a sense of fragility for the first time.

"My granddaughter, Yao Yao," the Corpse Demon roared, as if recalling something. At that moment, the entire Purple Gold Mountain trembled, as if something extraordinary was about to emerge from the ground.

"That was just an avatar; its true form should be buried underground." Shao Hua appeared quietly, gave a soft shout, and froze the world.

The next moment, everyone except Chu Feng collapsed in droves.
