Chapter 208 My father told me to cut off my immortal root

What kinds of goods did you trade in the past?

Liu Chengfeng was curious about what could possibly make the man in black kill someone to silence them.

What's even stranger is that if the man in black is so powerful, why would he entrust his services to the Wasteland Scavenging Group?

“It’s all a jumble of random things, there’s no pattern to it, I’ve made a list of them all.”

Lin Chen was also careful; he kept a list of all the goods that had been traded and left a portrait of them.

She took out the list, and Liu Chengfeng looked at it carefully, but had no idea what it was for.

Ancient Elephant Sequence Plate, Thousands of Whispering Stones, Hexagonal Beads...

I've never even heard of these things before, and they don't seem like any kind of treasure.

"I thought he had a hobby of collecting strange and unusual things, but now it seems that's not the case."

In order to collect these items, Lin Chen and his group not only searched the entire Tianduan Xuhai, but also went to all the continents of Qingmeng Realm.

Some of these things were salvaged from the sea ruins at great personal risk.

"What secret could he possibly have that would lead him to kill someone to cover it up?"

Liu Chengfeng wondered to himself, what secrets did a being at the level of a god have that would kill someone to silence them?

Unable to figure anything out, Lin Chen took the list and went to gather the other brothers.

"I'm going to tell the boss that you should hide here and wait until things calm down."

Lin Chen reminded Liu Chengfeng that safety should be the top priority.

"I'm going to the Heavenly Martial Divine Kingdom, to the Imperial City."

Liu Chengfeng shook his head.

"The Tianwu Divine Kingdom and the Tianxuan Kingdom are currently at war. No one can go to the Imperial City, otherwise they will be regarded as enemies by both sides."

Lin Chen objected, arguing that going to the imperial city of the Heavenly Martial Divine Kingdom at this time would be more dangerous.

"War?"

Liu Chengfeng frowned slightly; Ye Huijian hadn't mentioned this.

"I heard that there is internal strife in the Tianwu Divine Kingdom, with the Imperial Preceptor and the Emperor vying for power. Both sides have overturned the table, and the Tianxuan Divine Kingdom has taken advantage of the situation to invade."

"The Tianwu Kingdom has an emperor?"

"Nonsense, those emperors reigned for thousands of years."

Regardless of whether Liu Chengfeng agreed or not, Lin Chen gave a few instructions and then went to gather his brothers.

Liu Chengfeng remained silent and decided to stay on the boat.

He also wanted to see if the man in black would catch up, and to find out what secrets the man in black was hiding.

Liu Chengfeng sat down cross-legged, turned the celestial mound, and explored the world.

His perception spread outwards, sweeping across millions of miles of land. The stronger Liu Chengfeng became, the wider his perception range and the faster his speed.

Countless sounds surged in like a tide, of all shapes and sizes: the roar of the waves, the whisper of the rocks, the song of the islands…

Liu Chengfeng was in the Tianwu Divine Kingdom, also known as the Tianwu Continent.

Opposite the Heavenly Martial Divine Kingdom is the Sinking Ge Divine Kingdom, and to the left and right are the Green Wood Divine Kingdom and the Heavenly Xuan Divine Kingdom.

The four divine kingdoms guard the Heavenly Ruins Sea, each occupying a region and possessing a continent.

The center is the Sea Ruins, the most mysterious and dangerous place in the Heavenly Desolation Sea.

Once Liu Chengfeng's senses entered the Sea Ruins, it became very difficult to penetrate further; the entire Sea Ruins was like a bottomless pit.

Nevertheless, Liu Chengfeng's perception was powerful enough to encompass the four great divine kingdoms and sweep across the Sea Ruins.

“Dad told me to cut down the immortal root, cut down the immortal root.”

Liu Chengfeng heard a particularly noisy sound coming from deep within the sea ruins, shouting over and over again.

Upon hearing this sound, a plant resembling a towering tree came to mind; though its body was large, it had only nine leaves.

"It's so noisy. You've been yelling for millions of years. You'll never hear a sound."

A voice scolded, and I couldn't stand its constant yelling.

The angry voice actually came from an ancient street located above the Kingdom of Aoki.

"My Heavenly Severing Grass clan is here to cut you down, to sever your immortal roots, and to annihilate you."

The towering plant was furious and kept yelling.

Upon hearing the name "Heaven-Severing Grass," Liu Chengfeng was startled.

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly. No wonder others can't find the Heavenly Broken Grass.

Forget about it, it's impossible in this lifetime.

The ancient street is called Zixia Street, and it seems to sneer at the withered grass reaching for the sky.

"If you're so capable, open the Heavenly Barrier and see if I can go in and kill you all! I'll cut off your immortal roots and kill you all!"

The Heavenly Destroyer Grass howled in fury.

Zixia Street spoke coldly and sarcasticly, which provoked Tian Duancao, making him so angry that he wanted to storm in.

"There's no need to get angry over this madman. It's been like this every day for millions of years."

A steady voice rang out. It was a stone hidden in the Tianwu Kingdom, called the Oath Stone.

Listening to their conversation, Liu Chengfeng found it very strange, as this was the first time he had encountered such a lively situation.

The Heavenly Grass seemed to have gone mad, shouting incessantly. Zixia Street made sarcastic remarks, while the Oath Stone offered words of advice.

"The Heaven-Severing Grass, is that the Heaven-Severing Grass?"

After listening to them argue for a long time, Liu Chengfeng interrupted.

"Besides us, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, in the Three Thousand Worlds, who else is qualified to be called the Heaven-Severing Grass?"

Tian Duan Cao is crazy and arrogant, and speaks in a particularly sharp way.

Liu Chengfeng's ability to communicate with them surprised Zixia Street and Shixin Stone, as this had never happened before.

"I heard your leaves are unique, could you give me five?"

Liu Chengfeng discussed with Tian Duancao, staring at its nine leaves.

"Bullshit! Who do you think you are, trying to steal my leaves? My leaves can cleave the heavens and sever all lifelines; I can kill anyone."

"You mere brat, what right do you have to covet my leaves? Get out of my way."

The Heavenly Destroyer Grass howls loudly, speaks in a particularly sharp and arrogant manner, and is domineering.

"Damn it—"

Liu Chengfeng was furious after being scolded; he still wanted to have a proper discussion.

"There's no need to get angry with this madman; he'll go crazy on anyone."

Zixia Street and Shixin Stone were also full of curiosity about Liu Chengfeng, and were busy comforting him.

"Whether you like it or not, I'm taking all five leaves. I'll pluck them off myself, or you can pluck them yourself!"

Liu Chengfeng steeled his heart and made up his mind. No matter what the Heavenly Broken Grass was, he was determined to have it, even with its five leaves.

If he doesn't give it to me, he'll cut down the Heavenly Broken Grass!
"You little bastard, who do you think you are? Even if you were the supreme god of this world, I would still kill you without hesitation..."

The Heavenly Grass was furious, howling and roaring, wishing it could rush in and kill Liu Chengfeng.

"Why do you want five Heavenly Broken Leaves?"

A majestic voice rang out, and the speaker was none other than an ancient city with an imposing imperial aura, located above the Tianxuan Divine Kingdom.

It is called Imperial City.

Liu Chengfeng found it strange that the streets, the ancient city, and the stones were all speaking. What did this mean?
"I need five leaves of the Heavenly Broom to save this person."

Liu Chengfeng told him frankly.

"Forget about it, you'll never get it in this lifetime."

The Heavenly Demise Grass sneered, disdainful, "No one can get its leaves."

Liu Chengfeng didn't care whether Tian Duan Cao agreed or not; he was determined to find out where Tian Duan Cao was.

Liu Chengfeng surveyed the area with his Sky Eye, passing through the Sea Ruins, and discovered a Heavenly Wall at the deepest part of the Sea Ruins, where the Heavenly Destruction Grass was blocked.

How can I get inside and pluck its leaves off?

Liu Chengfeng asked Di Yucheng and the others. Strangely, Di Yucheng and the others all remained silent, seemingly unwilling to tell Liu Chengfeng.

"Any questions?"

Liu Chengfeng pressed the Oath Stone and the others for details, but they remained silent, unwilling to speak.

"Don't you know? They don't want you to have my leaves."

The grass under the sky sneered, telling Liu Chengfeng.

"Why?"

Liu Chengfeng was even stranger.

"Ha, ha, ha, because my leaves can kill them. If you get the leaves, wouldn't you pose a threat to them?"

"Pah, who do you think you are? What right do you have to have my leaves?"

Tian Duan Cao is foul-mouthed and arrogant.

"They won't kill us, at most they'll penetrate our defenses. Don't try to make yourself look good."

Zixia Street sneered.

"Hey, you guys dare to try? If you've got the guts, open up the sky!"

Tian Duancao sneered and challenged them.

"Can you open the Heavenly Wall?"

Liu Chengfeng used his Sky Eye to observe from afar and discovered that the Sky Wall was integrated with the entire Sea Ruins and could not be opened.

Shi Xinshi and the others remained silent, not wanting to tell Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng tried to turn Tianqiu around and forcefully call out to them.

"I know that. If you get your hands on the Ancient Elephant Sequence Plate and other such things, you can open it..."

The Heavenly Destruction Grass and the Oath Stone were sworn enemies, and they told Liu Chengfeng their secret.

"Ancient elephant array plate, ten thousand whispered words stone, hexagonal bead..."

Liu Chengfeng was startled and recited the items on the list one by one.

"how do you know?"

The people of Imperial City, Zixia Street, and Oath Stone were shocked; no outsider could possibly know this.

"I know that, it's not exactly a secret."

The grass, though cut short by the sky, proudly proclaims its triumph.

They ignored Di Yucheng and wanted to get the answer from Liu Chengfeng.

“I’ve heard from others that some people are collecting these things.”

Liu Chengfeng was also shocked. The men in black were collecting these things in order to open the Heavenly Wall.

Why does he want to open the heavenly wall? To steal the Heavenly Grass?

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, fourth brother..."

Upon hearing what Liu Chengfeng said, both Di Yu and Zixia Street were calling for another being.

However, the other entity did not react at all, nor did it respond to them.

Only then did Liu Chengfeng realize that there was another being, which remained silent and hidden.

"Besides this method, are there any other ways to open the heavenly wall?"

Liu Chengfeng didn't care why his fourth brother hadn't responded; he only wanted to get the leaves of the Heavenly Broken Grass.

"There is no other way, and even if there were, you would absolutely not be allowed to cross the Heavenly Wall. No one is qualified to go in!"

The Imperial City was very assertive and refused Liu Chengfeng's request.

"The celestial barrier cannot be crossed, and you cannot enter."

Zixia Street and Shixin Stone both advised Liu Chengfeng to give up, explaining that the existence of the Heavenly Wall was to block the Heavenly Broken Grass and its kind.

"No matter what, I have to go."

Once Liu Chengfeng made up his mind, no one could sway him. No matter what method he used, he would obtain the leaves of the Heavenly Destruction Grass!
"You are not allowed, nor are you qualified!"

Imperial City, acting as a guardian, refused Liu Chengfeng's request. It seemed that since Liu Chengfeng had forced his way in, Imperial City would be the first to attack him.

“He is qualified.”

Suddenly, stars flashed into my mind.

"Master, what brings you out here too?"

Liu Chengfeng was astonished; how could stars appear here?

"Because of your awakening."

Even the stars didn't hide it.

Imperial City, Purple Cloud Street, and Oath Stone—they all stared at the stars as if they had seen a ghost, finding it utterly absurd.

"You are not the Soul Master—"

Imperial City was very certain and assertive.

"I am the Soul Master, the current Soul Master."

The stars, equally determined, were equally confident.

"How is that possible? The Soul Master can't be you."

They found it hard to believe, even though it was the Oath Stone and Zixia Street.

At that moment, the star with the blinking eye appeared, and it revolved around the star, blinking.

"Soul Master—"

The Oath Stone and Zixia Street were dumbfounded. This was the Soul Master, but he was revolving around another star.

Liu Chengfeng was somewhat bewildered, realizing that their relationship was too complicated.

"Since I'm qualified to go in, then you talk to them."

Liu Chengfeng was more concerned about the Heavenly Broken Grass, because only by entering the Heavenly Wall could he obtain its leaves.

“He is qualified to go in, and you should help him.”

Xingxing gave instructions to Di Yucheng and the others.

"how is this possible?"

They didn't believe it from the Imperial City.

“Take out the stone basket and show it to them.”

Xingxing asked Liu Chengfeng to show them the stone basket that Yinhou had given them.

Liu Chengfeng took out the stone basket, which immediately shone with divine brilliance, as if illuminating starlight.

"This is--"

When Di Yucheng and the others saw that the stone basket in Liu Chengfeng's hand could also emit divine light, they were all shocked.

I can't believe it, it's impossible, but it's happening right before my eyes.

“You should help him.”

The stars were too far apart to stay for long, so they left.

The Imperial City and the others looked at each other speechlessly. Liu Chengfeng possessed the stone basket, and he certainly deserved it.

Liu Chengfeng was surprised, not expecting the stone basket to have such an effect.

This made him even more curious about the identity of the Queen of the Underworld. What kind of being was she?

"Passing through the Heavenly Wall won't be easy. You'll first have to enter the Sea Ruins, skipping over every seascape and traversing the Dark Lands..."

Finally, Zixia Street told Liu Chengfeng the way to Tianbi, and Liu Chengfeng remembered it well.

"Once you pass through the celestial barrier, we can lend you a helping hand from afar."

Emperor Yucheng and his men locked their eyes on the Heavenly Severing Grass, eyeing it menacingly, ready to slay it.

"Come on, if you've got the guts, come on. If you don't, you're a coward. I'd like to kill you all, rush into the Heavenly Wall, and cut off your immortal roots."

The sky breaks and the grass howls.
