Destiny is ashes

Chapter 945 The Eyes and Spies of the Great Wilderness
"invest?"

Hui Tianyu revealed a wary expression: "Your Tianji Mountain's technology investment traps have long been notorious throughout Huaixu. Although some people do make money, nine times out of ten they lose everything, and there is absolutely no pattern to success or failure!"

"Oh dear, who knows what we might develop when we start a new technology? All the investments are to support Tianji Mountain in developing more new technologies that will serve all martial artists in Huaixu."

Mu Ya said casually that he was also a true disciple of Tianji Mountain. The two sects were so close that they were practically inseparable. He couldn't just run away if he forcibly held Hui Tianyu back. But what he said next made Hui Tianyu give up the idea of ​​leaving immediately.

"This time, we're collaborating with that nature master—the one in charge is Uncle-Master Jiang Ziji. Our branch is working with the Mingjing Sect to research and produce 'Soul Chips,' which are the advanced physical artifacts of the 'Mind Wisdom Method' developed by An Jing!"

"With this, even a fool can master the Mind-Body Technique and gradually become smarter, just like the jade slips and standardized magic artifact production lines of the past. It is the future trend, and investing in it will definitely not be a loss or a scam; it's guaranteed to make a profit!"

Clearly, the promise of guaranteed profits and no losses is something every technology investment project at Tianji Mountain makes, but very few of them actually come true. But this time, Hui Tianyu was genuinely hesitant: "Are you sure An Jing is going to cooperate with you?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya knew that things had gone well, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course it's true! I wouldn't dare to use the name of a Natural Master to deceive people."

Hui Tianyu hesitated for a moment, then held up his finger: "Okay, then I trust you—I'll personally contribute this amount, and I'll also get my master, junior brother, and other senior uncles and aunts to invest, but I need to..."

He gestured, and Mu Ya understood immediately: "Definitely, that's the price for the agents who recruit people..."

After exchanging a few words in secret, the two left satisfied. Mu Ya needed to return to his team to report that he had secured new investment, while Hui Tianyu was going to the Kowloon Arena to gather new intelligence.

Neither of them noticed that not far away, at a resting spot on the Cloud Vortex Platform, a young martial artist who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened them, his gaze thoughtful.

"A naturalist...?"

This martial artist wore a plain gray martial robe with a long sword hanging at his waist. It didn't look like a divine weapon. However, at this time, any human martial artist who could walk in the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court was undoubtedly one of the best among the younger generation, at least at the Divine Treasure level. Judging from his long, steady breathing, his bright and restrained eyes, and his bare hands with firm knuckles, he should be a master of body tempering.

Moreover, the fact that he could bypass the Heavenly Sect's defenses and eavesdrop on their conversation is enough to prove that he has special abilities.

Qin Feng, or rather, Yu Feng, raised his head and looked around at the surging, boiling sea of ​​clouds.

Beneath your feet lies the boundless sea, and above you stretches the boundless void. Within this celestial sea lies the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court, where countless enormous, slowly rotating cloud vortexes form a three-dimensional city and kingdom, and the distant roars of dragons can be heard from time to time.

Above the Dragon Court, at the farthest reaches of the sky, one can vaguely glimpse a magnificent palace that defies description, quietly suspended in the boundless void, radiating a vast and profound brilliance.

That was the destination of all the martial artists, the venue for the Scale-Illuminating Banquet, one of the 108 Sect Masters, the Ancestral Court of the Ten Continents Dragon and Serpent True Spirits, the [Ancestral Dragon Hall].

"I never imagined that I could see the scenery of the Sky Sea Floating Continent in a foreign land outside my hometown... or even better!"

With these thoughts in mind, Yu Feng poured himself another glass of wine, downed it in one gulp, and revealed a look of satisfaction: "The Void Realm is truly incredible!"

Qin Feng, or rather, Yu Feng, is not a person of this world.

Strictly speaking, there is only the soul.

His soul came from another vast realm, the Great Wilderness Heavenly Sea Realm.

Several years ago, Yu Feng, a descendant of a branch of the Tianyu Dynasty, was 'accidentally' drowned while managing floods due to internal strife within the royal court. He was devoured by countless water spirits and died. By a twist of fate, he was reborn in the Huaixu Realm into the body of a young martial artist who bore a striking resemblance to himself. This martial artist was a true disciple of the Qingyue Sect, a mid-level sect in the Southern Wilderness Hongzhou. In his desire to become the number one true disciple of this generation and defeat his long-time rival, he recklessly pursued his cultivation techniques, resulting in a qi deviation and his death. After Yu Feng's soul arrived, he used the 'eating method' of the Great Wilderness Realm to suppress the chaotic spiritual energy within his body and recover from his injuries.

The Food Method is the core cultivation method of the Great Wilderness Realm. In essence, it is a secret method of devouring, fusing, and refining the primordial energy of all things, transforming the different into the same, the myriad phenomena into the origin, and the complex into the true one. Just as one offers up one body by consuming all things, and one forges a blade by putting a hundred gold into a furnace, it is a path that directly leads to the fundamental Dao, and is also known as the 'Furnace Method'.

Using the Furnace Technique, Yu Feng used spiritual energy as flames and his own body as a furnace to melt all the spiritual energy that had gone astray. Upon his rebirth, he made a further step forward, breaking through the Divine Treasury Realm and completely mastering this new body, becoming a core disciple of the Qingyue Sect.

In addition, he also gained a special ability: [Overlooking the World].

Perhaps because he was a soul from another world, Yu Feng could change his perspective at any time and observe a large area centered on himself from a higher angle.

This special ability, along with the various secret techniques of the Tianyu Dynasty that Yu Feng already possessed, allowed him to make a great name for himself in Hongzhou, Southern Wilderness, in just a few years. He killed many scourge-ridden demon beasts and demon kings, and subsequently gained the recognition of the sect and the invitation of the Dragon Palace, arriving at the Tianhai Dragon Court.

At first, Yu Feng was a bit arrogant.

Putting aside his original royal bloodline, the fusion of knowledge from both worlds alone allows him to cultivate from a different perspective, analyze martial arts, master more techniques, and gain a clearer understanding of the essence of martial arts. This makes him virtually invincible in battles against opponents of the same level, and also makes dealing with evil spirits and demons that cause trouble, similar to the calamity gods of his hometown, incredibly easy.

—At this grand banquet in the Dragon Palace, I will surely make a name for myself, stand at the pinnacle of this realm, and even find my way home to avenge my brothers and sisters who killed me!

That was his initial thought.

But once he arrived at Tianhai Longting, Yu Feng instinctively shrank back.

—Wait, why are there monsters everywhere?!

After all, he was just a middle-level disciple from a rural area, and in the past he was just an unremarkable member of a branch of the royal family. Yu Feng had indeed never seen any truly grand scenes or real geniuses.

He does possess considerable strength now, enough to be called a prodigy, but compared to the true pinnacle of his era in a world, he is still somewhat lacking.

Not to mention the [Heavenly Destiny Natural Master] who is subtly superior to all the geniuses here!

After learning of the existence of the Naturalist, Yu Feng had been paying close attention to his presence and every bit of information about him.

the reason is simple.

In the Great Wilderness Realm, there is a similar concept of 'destiny'.

The progenitor of the Nine Dragons Emperor, the Primordial Serpent that nurtured chaos to give birth to all living beings.

The original form of the Five Divine Phoenixes was a divine bird that soared above the heavens and pierced through all living beings.

All the gods of the eight directions worship the Primordial Spirit Lord who [punishes the heavens] to clarify the righteous law.

And... according to ancient legends, the first human emperor who "observed all things" and perfected humanity, ultimately creating the Tianyu Dynasty!
