Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"I see...!"

Upon hearing Gu Canyang's words, Lu Feng also suddenly realized the truth.

He used to think that the Treasure Basin had absorbed a large number of Immortal Stones to successfully create a world outside the realm, but now it seems that Lu Feng underestimated the power of the Treasure Basin.

In fact, from the very beginning, there was an unknown extraterrestrial world inside the treasure basin.

However, since the Treasure Basin was already broken and its power had not yet been restored, this extraterrestrial world had not yet appeared. It was only after Lu Feng continuously used the Immortal Stones to help the Treasure Basin restore its power that this extraterrestrial world was able to reappear in the world!

"call...!"

Lu Feng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. With a backhand gesture, he conjured a gilded ancient cauldron covered in spiritual patterns, standing on four legs. It was now quietly floating in the air, emitting a strange and mysterious light.

"As expected, after absorbing a large amount of primordial immortal power, not only has the previously hidden outer world reappeared, but even the appearance and color of the treasure basin have changed drastically, becoming completely different...!"

Looking at the gilded ancient cauldron that had evolved from the treasure basin, Lu Feng felt not only awe but also excitement.

Although this trip to the Villain Stronghold resulted in the loss of a top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon, the "Extreme Ice Shield Axe," Lu Feng's final gains were not a complete loss!

It not only restored the power of the treasure basin to one-third of its original level, but also unlocked a brand new world beyond.

It should be noted that the former Treasure Basin space was almost a chaotic and desolate dead land. Not only was there no sun or moon in the sky and no life on the ground, but even Lu Feng, the host of the Treasure Basin, could only stay inside for an hour!

Now, with the continuous restoration of the power of the Treasure Basin and its transformation into a true outer world, the various limitations and drawbacks of the past naturally no longer exist!

In other words, if Lu Feng were willing, he could live a secluded life in this outer world for the rest of his life without any problem, which is comparable to having a mobile shelter of his own!

However, the only regrettable thing is that although the outer world has reappeared in the world and Lu Feng can freely enter and exit it on weekdays, the treasure-gathering ability of the treasure basin itself has not changed much and is still about ten times!

"Young Master Lu, although the outer realm has reappeared in the world, the power of the Treasure Basin has only recovered to one-third. You still have a long road ahead of you..."

Beside him, Gu Canyang's reminder came again, his tone still serious, "Besides, putting aside your ten-year agreement with that little girl Ye Yun, you're not the kind of person who likes to give up and lie low, are you?"

"Of course!"

Clenching his fists tightly, Lu Feng replied almost without hesitation, "Although the power of the Treasure Basin has recovered considerably, I'm not one to be easily satisfied...!"

As the saying goes, a tree lives by its bark, and a person lives by their breath!

Moreover, Lu Feng currently has no reason to give up and lie low.

Whether it's fulfilling his ten-year promise to his fiancée Ye Yun, rescuing his disciple Lin Xiaoyu from the clutches of the Wusheng Sect, or uncovering the mystery of his former biological father Ye Tianxuan and the Lu family behind him, all of these require immense strength to support them!

Therefore, Lu Feng's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he could not possibly slow down his pace of becoming stronger!

"Heh, as expected of my second personally instructed disciple, you have ambition...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's statement, Gu Canyang stroked his long beard and nodded slightly, a look of relief flashing across his aged face.

"The second personally instructed disciple?"

"Shouldn't it be number one?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Could it be that you have taken on other disciples before?"

"Cough cough cough, of course not!"

Seemingly realizing he had misspoke, Gu Canyang's face showed an unnatural expression. He then coughed a few times and said, "I just misspoke. I am merely a spirit of a weapon; how could I possibly have disciples to take on? You are naturally my first personal disciple...!"

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave now. Remember to cultivate diligently, stay true to yourself, and don't embarrass me...!"

After speaking, Gu Canyang did not give Lu Feng a chance to speak. He flicked his sleeve and released a wisp of breeze, which enveloped Lu Feng completely before disappearing from the spot.

Swish!

As a gentle breeze swept by, Lu Feng appeared out of thin air the next moment, and then landed steadily at the entrance of the underground treasure vault, clearly having left the outer world of the treasure basin.

"That's strange, so very strange...!"

After leaving the outer realm, Lu Feng stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Could it be that the old man really just made a slip of the tongue? No, the old man must be hiding something else from me..."

"After all, since finding the treasure bowl, the old man has almost never mentioned its origins to me, or anything about its past life..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng first frowned slightly, then sighed helplessly, "Never mind! I'll ask again when I have the chance...!"

Because he knew very well Gu Canyang's stubbornness; if the other party was unwilling to talk about something, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't be persuaded. He was a stubborn old man who wouldn't listen to either soft or hard tactics.

Therefore, Lu Feng could only temporarily suppress his curiosity to avoid angering the stubborn old man, Gu Canyang.

...

Half an hour later, at the entrance to an underground market on the outskirts of Jinling City.

"This should be it...!"

Suddenly, Lu Feng descended from the sky and landed steadily at the entrance of the underground market, his expression filled with murderous intent.

"If the map is accurate, this underground market appears to be without problems on the surface, but it is actually the entrance to the Church of No Life, and a rather large and powerful one at that, with at least several Yuanhai Realm experts comparable to guardians overseeing it..."

After glancing down at the sheepskin map in his hand again, Lu Feng did not hesitate at all and immediately jumped into the underground market.

"The stench of blood and decay is overwhelming...!"

However, as soon as Lu Feng entered the underground market, he was stunned!

"What exactly happened here?"

Looking around, the entire underground market was a scene of bloodshed, with corpses strewn everywhere. Some of the bodies were unrecognizable and intertwined with each other, their deaths extremely gruesome, as if they had just experienced a brutal massacre!

"Most of these corpses had tokens from the Wusheng Sect hanging from their waists, and a few even had special red lotus marks tattooed on their bodies and wore red lotus Wusheng rings, clearly indicating that they were not low-ranking members within the Wusheng Sect, at least experts at the level of a Sun-rank leader or above..."

"However, none of these people escaped unscathed; they all perished here in a brutal massacre!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but frown slightly. "To be able to so easily wipe out a branch of the Wusheng Sect, the person who did it must be incredibly powerful, and most likely has a grudge against the Wusheng Sect. Could it be... Miss Fuping!"

Suddenly, a familiar figure in white robes came to mind, and Lu Feng looked surprised before nodding silently.

Because he felt that the deaths of these Wusheng sect members were somewhat familiar. Not only were their bodies intertwined, but their limbs were also missing, which was exactly the same as the corpse-controlling magic used by the old Fuping Ghost General!

In addition, the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance, to which Floating Duckweed Ghost General belongs, is also at odds with the Wusheng Sect, and they are mortal enemies. It is not impossible that the other side will take action to slaughter the entrance of the Wusheng Sect!

"If this was truly the work of the Duckweed Maiden, there shouldn't be any other survivors here. Even if I wanted to capture a few members of the Wusheng Sect as prisoners, I wouldn't be able to..."

"Fine! I'll just have to go to Jinling City first, and then try to find out some news about the Wusheng Sect and that woman Leng Youlan...!"

With that in mind, Lu Feng didn't linger in the underground market any longer. He turned and left, heading at full speed towards Jinling City, which wasn't far away.

After all, this underground market was the largest entrance to the Wusheng Church in Yingtian Prefecture. Now that even this place has been leveled by the Floating Ghost General, it almost means that the search for Lin Xiaoyu has been cut off.

If Lu Feng wanted to find out more about the Wusheng Sect and Leng Youlan, the Left Envoy of Wusheng, he could only try his luck in the nearby Jinling City.

After all, Jinling City is an important town in Yingtian Prefecture, a melting pot of all sorts of people and a complex web of various forces. It wouldn't be too difficult to find out some information about the Wusheng Sect here!
