The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1175 Passerby, Jiang and Shi
Longma's eyes were strange as he looked at Chu Feng, feeling as if a thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart.

'This kid is incredibly cunning. No wonder he grew up in the secluded village where the dog, the demon ancestor, and the master of the bronze coffin were suspected to be hiding; when he gets treacherous, he wouldn't dare do anything human!'

Longma thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

After thinking for a moment, it took the initiative to help fill in the gaps in his understanding, "Young Chu, I think those old guys you're talking about might be bad, but they're not necessarily stupid!"

"Why would they take such a risk? I'm afraid your idea isn't feasible."

Longma, it wasn't a good horse either. In the past, it colluded with the big black dog!
“Under normal circumstances, you’re right,” Chu Feng chuckled. “However, don’t forget, this juncture is quite special!”

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths themselves should be a fuse!"

"The Emperors have fallen... All the Immortal Emperors have perished!"

"This has already caused ripples at the pinnacle of all realms in the mortal world... Right outside this boundary, countless quasi-Immortal Emperors are already trying to break through!"

"However, although this wave is high, its impact is small, seemingly intentional yet unintentional, thus it has been limited..."

"Let me give it a push!"

Chu Feng chuckled softly.

"How far can two unrelated things merge?"

"I'm curious!"

Chu Feng calmly said, "The Imperial Pass has not fallen because it was established by supreme figures to isolate the inside from the outside... However, this isolation is not without ways to bypass it."

"Memory infusion, consciousness parasitism... Ultimately, bypassing the isolation of the eternal sky, it infiltrates in an alternative way!"

"What I did was merely to pierce this thin veil..."

"However, this way..."

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Longma, can the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths handle such a grand scene?"

He asked Longma.

"..." Longma was silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "You ask me if I can handle it... If you ask me, I think I can."

"It's just..."

It stammered, "Actually..."

"The waters within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are very deep, and they can be described as strong when encountering the strong and weak when encountering the weak... If it is normal exploration and pursuit, then there is not much of a problem."

"What I fear is that if someone harbors ill intentions, it could stir up a storm and expose some deeply hidden schemes and tactics!"

"Xiao Chu, you know that."

"At least three transcendent beings have emerged from that realm, all of whom have surpassed the Dao of Sacrifice... In addition, there are numerous figures of the Dao of Sacrifice, as well as dozens or even hundreds of Immortal Emperors, and countless Dao Ancestors and Quasi-Emperors."

"How many backup plans did these people leave behind? How many schemes did they pull off? To be honest, even I'm completely clueless."

Longma frankly admitted that even it only had a superficial understanding of the depths of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even though it was a semi-core figure in a super faction and knew many great secrets.

However, those top secrets were only related to Ye Fan, and they were about how to squeeze money out of him.

Other things, like how to make things interesting on one's spiritual path?

They won't report it!

"I am not worried about the safety of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths... I am worried about all the worlds in this human realm!"

Longma sighed, his heart filled with concern for heaven and earth, for all living beings; his emotions were so genuine.

"You know so much?" Chu Feng's lips twitched.

“Yeah… I’ve done that too!” Ryoma wasn’t embarrassed. “There was a time when I really wanted to improve!”

"So, I cobbled together some things, but they weren't so... good for light, and the results weren't great. A hundred years of hard work is not as good as a moment of nibbling on a leaf..."

It muttered to itself.

"There were many people like me. It was quite popular back then, all the rage... Everyone was very enthusiastic, believing in someone's nonsense—'If you don't do something crazy, if you don't do something reckless, how can you make progress?'"

"Throughout history, which of the founders of Daoist teachings followed the ordinary path? Only extraordinary people, doing extraordinary things, can achieve extraordinary accomplishments..."

Longma spoke with conviction, leaving Chu Feng speechless.

After all, given his current situation and the path he has chosen, upon closer examination, it's not exactly a normal path!
What Daoist patriarch would preach to those who have embarked on their path—cultivating the field of magic to find their destined one?!
Those who know, understand, this is to alleviate the mental breakdown of all beings in this abstract and mad era.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Chu was a pimp!
"It's a pity that this path is not easy. Although there are many who try to create something, not all of them are bad. But with supreme beings like the Demon Ancestor and the Evil Ancestor setting such a high bar, comparisons are inevitable..."

Longma said slowly, "Our racking our brains was no match for those few's quick thinking... So gradually, everyone's enthusiasm subsided, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seemed to return to normal."

"But..."

Ryoma shrugged. "It's just how it looks."

"Perhaps in some corner, there's a huge time bomb buried, which was accidentally triggered and caused a cataclysmic explosion..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Then I'm even more interested!"

"Alright, whatever you want..." Longma shook his head, no longer arguing, thinking it was better for him to die than for his friend.

"While we cannot enter the Nine Heavens, I know of a realm that borders the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. We can lie low there and observe the changes..."

It said, "Lead the way."

Soon after, it arrived at a realm that could be considered a pure land of immortals, the Great Realm of Longevity!

In that realm, true immortals were as plentiful as rain and immortal kings as numerous as clouds; it was truly prosperous.

Even more so, there seemed to be a faint imperial aura lurking within, belonging to the realm of a quasi-immortal emperor, possessing power at this level!

"His aura is pure, and his Dao fruit is righteous; he doesn't seem to have achieved his breakthrough through crooked or heretical methods..."

Chu Feng, hidden in the shadows, was slightly surprised. "A celestial realm, though vast, is nothing compared to the rest of the heavens, yet it contains such beings?"

He gathered information and quickly learned that it was the "Heavenly Emperor" of this immortal realm, the strongest being in this world!
Of course, the reason for putting it in quotation marks is because this person was very humble and felt that his virtue was too shallow to be worthy of wearing this imperial crown.

Even though he holds a very high position of faith in the hearts of all living beings in this world, and is considered a true "God of Heaven," he refused the title of Heavenly Emperor.

"This fellow Daoist 'Gu Qing' is quite a remarkable person!"

When Chu Feng learned of his various quotes, he was filled with complaints but didn't know how to express them.

"In my heart, there will always be only one... two... three suns!"

"Welcome, Desolate Emperor, to our realm for inspection!"

"Emperor Ye Tian attained enlightenment here, and our realm is honored!"

"..."

Chu Feng's lips twitched incessantly. Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!
"This is what it's like to be neighbors with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!" Longma said calmly. "Back when this realm was still vast, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor came and broke through the gate with unparalleled power..."

"This involves some unfriendly past events and some personal grudges... In the end, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor generously forgave this realm."

"However, the Desolate Heaven Emperor can be forgiven, but the Immortal Realm must know its place."

"Later, during the era of Emperor Ye... although Emperor Ye injected his spiritual ideas into these self-important immortal realms, causing chaos and disorder..." "But then again, since they later became emperors, they felt honored and were grateful..."

Longma's constant muttering made Chu Feng's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

"Having the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as a neighbor is a blessing for this world!"

In the end, that was all Chu Feng could say.

"Yes, it's its good fortune..." Longma said softly, "and this good fortune will likely continue..."

Thanks to Chu Feng, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths trended on social media.

As the saying goes, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well.

At that time, the heavens and earth collapsed and the earth cracked. How could this world possibly be any better off?

The person involved had strong opinions about this.

"Emperor Chu?"

"I'll beat your lungs out!"

In the highest hall of this world, the strongest being in this world is about to have his mentality collapse.

Gu Qing was cursing, hurling insults!
He was originally calm and composed, but now he's probably scrambling and stumbling around in a panic.

If he could find "Emperor Chu," he would definitely challenge him to a one-on-one duel offline to determine who was better and to decide their fate!
After a long period of anger, Gu Qing calmed down and said, "Things have come to this point. The entire world must be on alert!"

"Although it won't be of much use, since many quasi-immortal emperors from all the mortal realms will descend at that time, it's just a psychological comfort!"

"Also, we should seek help from some old friends..."

"On the road to Ye Tiandi's rise, he was both righteous and evil, and he also amassed a huge force... Although in the end this emperor did not need us, it is enough for us to stick together for warmth."

With the plan settled, Gu Qing felt somewhat at ease.

Calling on friends and acquaintances, the gods from the Bitter Leaf Sect and the Heavenly Court of Ye Fan, who were from prehistoric times, gathered together, and an undercurrent surged and stirred.

"The world has changed, and history has turned a new page... but we remain!"

The melodious chimes seemed to stir up the dust of time, revealing the brilliance of yesteryear.

Chu Feng, who was the catalyst for all of this, leisurely hid in the mortal world, walking around, perfecting the path he had conceived in his mind, upgrading the field law, and also observing the local customs and culture of this world, where there were traces left by Emperor Ye Tian.

"...That year, the Heavenly Emperor descended upon this realm, and was unparalleled in the world, reigning supreme over all!"

A storyteller, swaying his head, caught Chu Feng's attention, and he listened to a story that was either a fictionalized account or an adaptation.

These are two young people, singing in harmony.

"How is it unparalleled in the world?" one of the straight men asked.

"Then of course, we'll make all living beings in this world rush into the Immortal Gold Era!" Another person slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "The Mother Gold Talisman will spread throughout the world, and the Heavenly Emperor and all living beings will know of it... Any lineage that did not understand the will of Heaven attempted to resist, but they were all reduced to ashes before the Heavenly Emperor!"

"This is truly unparalleled..." the man exclaimed. "Isn't it a wonderful thing that everyone has access to immortal gold?"

"Hey! The Heavenly Emperor's virtues extend far beyond this!" another person laughed. "Not to mention celestial gold, which everyone receives... the Heavenly Emperor even sacrificed himself for all living beings, burning his own body and leaving only ashes. The particles of his ashes filled the sky endlessly, and when combined with Xuanhuang (a type of celestial metal), they created an omnipotent creation!"

"Oh? What kind of divine object is that, daring to claim to be omnipotent?" the man from before shouted.

"Naturally, it's that... Xuanhuang Coin, Ye Datou!" another person drawled, "Just collect seven 'Ye Datou' coins, and you can communicate with gods, command ghosts, control the universe, and do whatever you want!"

"Even if it's a guarantee for a Celestial King or Dao Ancestor to be reincarnated, it will be invincible!"

He shouted, but was met with a chorus of boos.

Many young beings shook their heads, finding it too absurd.

They acknowledged that Emperor Ye Tian was indeed a man of extraordinary merit, having created the era of the main gods and accumulated immeasurable virtue.

But, is it possible to burn oneself to benefit all living beings?

Why does it feel so abstract?

"Hey hey hey... Don't disbelieve me! Don't go!"

The two young storytellers shouted, but they couldn't stop the crowd from dispersing.

In the end, only Chu Feng and Long Ma remained.

Longma remained silent, simply protecting Chu Feng in front of him.

Chu Feng was unaware of this anomaly and greeted the two young beings with a smile.

After all, even though the matter of Emperor Ye was shrouded in mystery and difficult to verify, he was still interested in learning more about it.

"I'm very interested in the historical secrets you two are talking about... but are they true?"

He stepped forward, chatting and laughing.

One of them laughed, "Truth and falsehood are intertwined; sometimes it's just a matter of a single thought. Why take it so seriously?"

"Life is like this, and so is this world, these worlds."

This seemed to have a hidden meaning, making Chu Feng thoughtful.

"My name is Chu Feng. May I ask how you two should address me?"

Chu Feng asked.

“Chu Feng?” A young man smiled even more broadly. “Fellow Daoist, it seems we have some kind of connection… My name is Jiang Feng.”

His name is Shi Fan.

Jiang Feng pointed to the young figure beside him and said, "There's no need for such honorifics. We're just ordinary passersby, nothing special, nothing to mention."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng chuckled, "If just any random passerby can make me feel vaguely uneasy, like I have thorns in my back, then the passersby in this world must be too terrifying, right?"

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Feng laughed loudly, "We ordinary people are nothing. This is a very magical profession. According to my father, there are no limits to what can be achieved. A Dao Ancestor can be an ordinary person, an Immortal Emperor can be an ordinary person, and even a Sacrificial Rites Master can be an ordinary person!"

"To be a good passerby, one must learn more, at least to be knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, as well as trivial matters, to know the past and the future..."

"It's a pity that we are not very capable, mediocre and incompetent, and not worthy of respect."

Chu Feng remained silent. At least, Dao Ancestor and suspected Immortal Emperor were not worthy of being mentioned.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at how this border sea was a place of great suffering, where unicorns lurked in the fields and dragons hid in the deep mountains.

"Fellow Daoists, have you also come for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"

Chu Feng decided to stop hiding his intentions and get straight to the point.

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" Jiang Feng and Shi Fan exchanged a glance and smiled, a subtle smile.

"Of course not."

Shi Fan spoke up, "I suggest that you do not go there lightly, as there may be unforeseen circumstances."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Chu Feng frowned.

"Because if nothing happens, it's fine. But if something does happen, it will be a grand ceremony for all the heavens. Someone is setting up a trap!" Shi Fan's expression became a little serious.
