Chapter 1046 - 1069: Chu Linfeng’s Choice
Chu Linfeng at this moment slowly withdrew the chaotic immortal power back into his body, and the Immortal Destruction Talisman returned to tranquility. He said, "Domain Lord, thank you for your kind offer, but I cannot join the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm now. However, if you still hold me, Chu Linfeng, in esteem after a hundred years, I will surely join then."
Nangong Ming was a bit confused by Chu Linfeng’s words, so he asked, "What do you mean by that? Do you have some matters unresolved? Just say the word and I’ll settle it for you immediately; there’s nothing in the Immortal Realm that I, Nangong Ming, can’t smooth out."
"Domain Lord, you worry too much. I need to enter closed-door cultivation for a while, but I will definitely fulfill today’s promise after that. I remember well what Xuanyuan Emperor Palace and Profound Celestial Pavilion did to me today. For the sake of Xuanyuan Yueyan, I can let Xuanyuan Emperor Palace go, but Profound Celestial Pavilion must be destroyed," Chu Linfeng said.
"What big talk from this young man, daring to speak such words, not once but twice. Do you really think you are some kind of figure? If you have the ability, don’t rely on others; come and compete with this Pavilion Master yourself," Shangguan Ruhuo said.
Chu Linfeng ignored him and instead spoke to Xuanyuan Yueyan not far away, "Yueyan, take care of yourself well. I will come back for you."
"Dream on, boy! Even in death, I won’t let Yue’Er marry you. What makes you think you deserve her? Take a look at your own character first," Xuanyuan Changtian said.
Chu Linfeng didn’t expect Xuanyuan Changtian to be this kind of person and felt really disappointed in him, then said, "Just wait, you’ll surely regret it when the time comes!"
After his words fell, he directly used Earth Transformation and submerged into the soil, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight. Everyone was very surprised by Chu Linfeng’s sudden departure.
"Didn’t expect that he had such capability, looks like we were really worried for nothing. Many people can perform Earth Escape, but generally they leave traces in the soil layer, yet he seems to meld directly into the soil. This kind of advanced Earth Escape Art is very rare," Nangong Ming said.
"I’m rather curious about what realm he’ll be able to break through to in those hundred years. By the time he emerges, it will be the start of the auction event. Let’s see what miracles he’ll bring us then. Since he’s already left, I, the Sect Master, will leave first," the Master of the Heartless Sword Tomb said.
"Sect Master, take care. You’re welcome to come to the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm anytime," Nangong Ming said.
"I definitely will come, but it has to be after that boy returns. Nangong Ming, you have sharp eyes to discover this absolute gem earlier on. I hope you’ll protect him well, or else I’ll not let you off," and with that, he left with the old man in black.
Xuanyuan Changtian and Shangguan Ruhuo felt a bit humiliated at the moment. Staying here a moment longer would drive them crazy. "Let’s leave, and see what tricks that boy can play in a hundred years."
Xuanyuan Yueyan was also taken away, but she smiled internally, "A hundred years? In a hundred years, Chu Linfeng will long have reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, perhaps even ascending to the Divine Realm directly. Then, none of you will be his match. A hundred years in the Immortal Realm is like ten thousand years for the Reincarnation Bracelet."
"Domain Lord, we’ll take our leave too. See you next time if fate allows!" Fairy Lingxiao said, then entered the crowd to leave New Capital City with Lin Ruoxi and the three other women and other ladies of the Dream-Spirit Sacred Domain.
This auction event could be considered completely finished, with everyone leaving unharmed. The appearance of the legendary figure Chu Linfeng left everyone feeling amazed and terrified.
Amazed by his Immortal Stones and identity, yet his identity remains a mystery; all hope one day for an answer.
Flame Immortal Monarch came to Nangong Ming’s side and said, "Subordinate salutes Domain Lord. It was my failure to not bring Lin Feng into the Dream-Spirit Sacred Domain. Please punish me, Domain Lord."
"Blazing Fire, you don’t need to perform in front of me. You must have auctioned quite a few good things this time, judging by the expression on your face," Nangong Ming said.
Flame Immortal Monarch’s face slightly heated, immediately saying, "They’re all things unworthy of your attention, Domain Lord. Those Immortal Stones were given to me by Lin Feng, there was no way for me to buy any Immortal Stone."
"Let’s go, we’ll also be leaving after securing the Immortal Emperor’s Treasure Key at this auction. When there’s time, we’ll have to check out what this treasure is like," Nangong Ming said.
Everyone scattered and left, while Chu Linfeng continued to dive deep underground. He needed a completely safe place to enter the Reincarnation Bracelet. Originally, he intended to bring Lin Ruoxi and the three women in, but there were too many people at the time, making it easy to expose his secret.
After diving straight for an entire day, Chu Linfeng stopped; he felt he had reached the center of the earth. All around was magma, and the temperature was terrifyingly high, but it wasn’t much of an impact for him at this time.
If it had been before he broke through the Second Layer of Fire Transformation, he would have stopped long ago. After checking the surroundings, Chu Linfeng felt it was a good place — a suitable place for cultivation.
But just as he chose a position to enter the Reincarnation Bracelet, he discovered something odd — not far from the Earth Fire, there was a place flashing with white light, an unusual phenomenon.
A thought suddenly appeared in his mind: Treasures of Heaven and Earth? And he quickly rushed over. The distance was quite far; it took nearly half the time of burning an incense stick to arrive within the Earth Fire space.
But the closer he got to the destination, the more he discovered the temperature dropping, even lower and lower. By the time he reached the glowing object, the surrounding temperature had dropped to a terrifying level.
After once again surveying the surrounding environment, he couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air — the Earth Fire here had actually changed color. Initially, it was fiery red, but now it had transformed into silver-white; and the temperature wasn’t that of flames but was more like Cold Flame.
"What kind of place is this, why are there two different phenomena like this? Ice and Fire Two Realms are just so; such a phenomenon surely indicates something unique. Didn’t expect I stumbled upon this place; truly, great misfortune indeed leads to great fortune," Chu Linfeng murmured to himself.
He dared not casually touch the silver flames. At the moment, he only felt a chill all over his body. Considering his current constitution, the cold was palpable, indicating how low the temperature must be here. He looked at the glowing object, unexpectedly coming from a small tree roughly two meters tall.
Three crystal-clear fruits hung on this tree, each about the size of an apple, and Chu Linfeng could feel strong energy from these fruits from far away.
"What kind of fruits are these? Why do they appear here? Truly peculiar," Chu Linfeng murmured to himself.
Then, he gently tried to touch the silver fruits, but before his hand could reach them, a wave of Ice Cold Qi arrived...
