I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Within the City of Light and Death, corpses piled up like mountains and seas, and Chu Feng had been standing there for days and nights.

He stretched his body from time to time, unleashing his fist techniques and circulating the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill," using the pressure here to hone himself.

He seemed to be in a special environment, occasionally gaining insights. Here, there were not only ancient fist imprints, but also sword intent capable of tearing apart the starry sky.
It's hard to imagine what kind of masters have lived here; it's simply unfathomable.

And so, Chu Feng gained insights and honed his skills here, undergoing a tremendous transformation.

With the help of this immense pressure, his physical and mental abilities have improved significantly, making remarkable progress.

He slowly opened his eyes and found that his master was staring intently at him, clearly waiting for him.

"It seems you've made considerable progress. Come with me!" Ying Hao said.

After several days of observation, he had gained a deep understanding of the place.

This enormous millstone, though a creation of that sacrificial deity and an attempt at reincarnation, is ultimately just a part of reincarnation itself.

To truly understand the cycle of this world, one must delve deeper into this place.

As for Chu Feng, he only gave him some pointers casually; how much fortune Chu Feng could gain ultimately depended on Chu Feng himself.

Upon hearing Ying Hao's words, Chu Feng nodded repeatedly and immediately followed in Ying Hao's footsteps.

Led by Ying Hao, the two walked one after the other into the depths of the millstone.

Having witnessed firsthand how the millstone obliterated numerous corpses, Chu Feng naturally understood its power and stayed close behind his master.

Then, he was surprised to find that as long as he followed his master, he would not be affected in any way, which made him increasingly doubt his master's strength.

You should know that there were many creatures with brightly colored wings and dazzling light in this millstone, but they were all crushed into mincemeat by the stone millstone.

Among them were the remains of immortals, all of whom were reduced to ashes.

How could Master come and go freely in such a perilous place, and even lead him to its depths? Just how powerful is Master?
Is it above the level of immortals? Or even a higher realm?

Besides, although he was not affected by the millstone, experiencing such a tragic scene up close still made his soul tremble, and his psychological trauma was immense.

But the master ignored this and continued forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the depths of the millstone.

At the same time, Chu Feng was surprised to find that the stone jar on his body was reacting in a special way, and one corner of it actually lit up.

He held it in his hand and examined it carefully. He noticed that one of the edges had a crystalline luster, which was quite strange.

Moreover, only that one corner remains unchanged; the rest of the area remains the same.

The stone jar was originally square, three inches high, and very regular in shape. It was originally just ordinary stone, but now its edges and corners have become shiny.

Chu Feng observed carefully and discovered the secret: the so-called luster was actually dense patterns, like ancient characters or undulating mountains and rivers.

"Master, do you know what a stone jar is?" Chu Feng asked.

Ever since he obtained the stone jar, he had already noticed its extraordinary nature.

His superior strength was due to two factors: his master's guidance and the stone jar.

In his view, his master was mysterious and unpredictable, even able to come and go freely in such perilous places. His master should know about this stone jar, and even know its true nature.

He always felt that the stone jar was extraordinary and that there was an inexplicable connection between it and him, which even made him feel uneasy.

If you were to ask your master, with his experience, he would know the origin of the stone jar and even be able to decipher the secret of its luster.

"You'll have to figure out exactly what the stone jar is yourself, but just remember it's a good thing!" Ying Hao looked at Chu Feng with a mysterious smile on his face. The reason the stone jar had changed was naturally related to the millstone here.

Both of them once belonged to that being above the sacrificial path, so naturally they would resonate with each other and change.

However, he did not intend to tell Chu Feng some things in advance. Knowing too much beforehand would only cause trouble and would not serve any purpose.

Moreover, he didn't want to affect Chu Feng's future path because of himself.

Even if the possibility is very, very small, he cannot ignore it.

Hearing Ying Hao's words, Chu Feng pursed his lips. Although he didn't know why his master wouldn't tell him, he didn't choose to pry.

All he needs to know is that the stone jar doesn't do him any great harm.

This also reduced his concerns. As long as the stone jar was harmless, he could make good use of it.

The next moment, Chu Feng saw many phantoms, all of them spirits, seemingly lost and unaware as if their souls had left their bodies, all walking in one direction.

That was a location belonging to the millstone, where an ancient road, quiet and eerie, drew all spirits forward.

"Master, don't tell me that reincarnation really exists, and that one can truly be reborn in the Pure Land!" Chu Feng said.

He had never believed in reincarnation, but his current experience had overturned his worldview.

In particular, he witnessed the millstone's working process firsthand, which seemed to be demonstrating the function of the underworld, yet he couldn't help but want to continue exploring further.

“There was originally no reincarnation, but the strongest beings created it!” Ying Hao explained.

There is no inherent cycle of reincarnation in the world, yet both this world and the primordial world eventually came into being.

Reincarnation is not something that forms naturally in a particular world, but rather something created by powerful beings.

Just like the evolution and reincarnation of Houtu in the primordial world, and the attempts made by that person above the sacrificial path in this world.

The reason he ventured deep into this place was to observe the cycle of this world, thereby helping the world within the Heavenly Dao Record to evolve.

He then followed these spirits along the ancient path, passing through a place resembling a boundary gate, as if entering another world.

Upon hearing his master's words, Chu Feng froze on the spot. Reincarnation really existed, and it was created by a supreme expert.

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of powerful being could create the cycle of reincarnation.

Moreover, how does Master know all this? It's as if Master knows everything in the world.

Crossing this boundary gate might lead to the cycle of reincarnation his master spoke of, which naturally made him extremely wary.

Watching his master step into the boundary gate, Chu Feng gritted his teeth and finally followed.

As he stepped into the gate, everything before him changed drastically. The world turned gray, and it was as if neither the sun nor the earth could be seen.

He was standing on a layer of dark-colored energy matter. He turned around and saw a long dragon behind him, followed by a massive number of spirits, seemingly without end.

Ahead of him, his master, who had already entered this place, was staring intently at this strange world.

Ying Hao did this because this place was his destination, and it was also the cycle of reincarnation.

Moreover, the system issued another mission the moment he stepped into this place. (End of Chapter)
