"This feeling is truly great!" Chu Feng closed his eyes and experienced the sensation in silence. It felt wonderful after his body was once again filled with energy.
He used his internal vision to see a ten centimeter black and white grinding stone rotating slowly, grinding at the dense energy and leaving only the essence to fill his bones and limbs.
The brightly colored energy was being purified, leaving only stronger traits behind. After grinding away all the dregs, Chu Feng was now even more terrifying than he was at the corresponding level in the past.
"There's a ways to go till I reach the peak," he mumbled. Right now, he was equal to a king level entity with two severed shackles.
However, he had far surpassed the past state in terms of energy. He looked forward to the time when his strength would explode once he recovers.
Everything was caused by this small grinding stone. It not only ground away the impure energy, but was also performing an initial refinement on Chu Feng's blood energy. This would definitely improve his constitution.
Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh after checking internally. Those golden Bodhisattvas were truly remarkable to be able to produce such a method of leaving mysterious objects within the body.
But the little grinding stone within his body wasn't such an inheritance. It was formed by himself and even more mysterious.
Yellow Ox had said that such an item would become even more impressive later on. There would be miraculous uses for it in the future that can't be displayed at the moment. He was truly looking forward to it.
"This small grinding stone evolved along with my body. Judging from its current performance, it'll be worth looking forward to when it's been perfected and free from defects."
Chu Feng opened his eyes. There were a number of weapon nurturing arrays nearby but they no longer felt adequate. He decided to change locations and find a place with special geography to deploy his domains.
He didn't get up immediately but instead sat on the island reading a bundle of bamboo slips. He opened them carefully and read through them in detail, memorizing all the unintelligible symbols within.
Various major powers had delivered ancient volumes related to domains as per agreement. Some of them were quite sincere—the items they delivered were quite valuable and worth pondering on.
"Heh, quite interesting. He's really proficient in the art of domains. Such a person would be able to survive even in the outer realms and even cause some waves."
A certain old woman appeared at this time. Her hair was completely white but her face was pink and even somewhat tender. She was someone who truly possessed the crane-like hair and childlike face.
Her figure, standing on the shore, could still be considered straight. She stood leaning on a shiny black walking stick and clad in an ancient outfit. She possessed a powerful aura and her eyes were akin to golden lanterns as she stared fixedly at Chu Feng.
The people in the vicinity revealed different expressions. Some top-grade kings were even greatly astonished. Just who was this old lady? She looked like someone from the ancient era with the way she was dressed!
She was accompanied by Lin Naoi.
Apparently, this old lady was someone from Deity Biomedicals. A mysterious expert no one had ever seen before.
Some kings stared at her. They found that this lady was too old and possessed a different aura.
Sensing the gazes, she walked to one side and continued to observe Chu Feng. Apparently, she didn't want to draw extra attention.
The old woman nodded and said, "Oh, he's quite talented to be able to comprehend domains by himself. We should look after such a young man with good potential. It's best we invite him into the mountains and away from the secular troubles," she chuckled, her face full of benevolence.
However, Lin Naoi's expression shifted slightly. She was lucid, elegant and refined. She turned to the old woman and persuaded, "It's better we let nature take its course. Let him go wherever he wants. We can cooperate with him when we require."
The old woman smiled without saying anything.
A young man with a red spot between his brows and a face as fair as jade looked towards Lin Naoi with an amiable smile. "The world outside is about to fall into chaos. Inviting him into the mountains is also for his own good. It's safe and silent, most suitable for people like him to study domains."
The silver-winged deity stood in the distance. He was now a king level entity with six severed shackles and had entered the highest echelons.
Silverwing, Vajra and the other once famous young mutants, were now displaying their brilliance after grasping the opportunity to make swift progress.
At this time, the handsome Silverwing was actually standing behind the old woman, the young man, and Lin Naoi. He wasn't standing alongside them.
Southern sea. The underwater realm here was extremely odd—there was neither wind nor wave here—there were only numerous ancient trees and some palaces.
This was the residence of the southern sea dragon race. This was a primordial underwater residence they'd discovered!
These old bright-red trees possessed twisted roots and joints. There were many bushes of violet flora and sparkling petals falling down from the air. This place was like colorful, ethereal and radiant, completely unlike the ocean floor.
The jade buildings made the place even more fantastic.
"Chu Feng has become a domain researcher? Ha, his luck is truly not bad. However, I don't need such a person!"
This was a tall young man with dense black hair and frosty eyes. He was clad in a radiant armor and sitting behind a jade table, looking down at the messenger who had come to report.
"Find a way to capture him for me. If anyone makes things too difficult, kill him directly!"
This man was Hei Teng's brother and the second son of the southern sea Elder Dragon King. He possessed astonishing strength and was in charge of the southern sea ocean floor residence. He'd always been dignified and imposing.
"The Dragoness of the eastern sea is also there trying to rope him in." An expert with a turtle shell behind his back reported.
"It doesn't matter. You lot find an opportunity to make a move. I'll personally visit the continent before long. Let's see who can stop me!" said Hei Chi.
The North Pole. Amidst the ice and snow, there was actually a valley as warm as spring with fragrant flowers and chirping birds. Magnetic lights would gush out from time to time within this odd place.
There was a person here, and a strong one at that. An old man, naked from waist up, stood with his glowing bronze skin and muscles revealed. He was strong and powerful.
Although his hair was grey and his age advanced, he was still very robust. His eyes possessed a wild kind of power as if he was transformed from a terrifying beast.
"Regarding high-quality magnetic stones, which corporation has more of them than this valley? That Chu Feng has some skill. You lot find a way to invite him here!"
"Yes, sir!"
A number wild beasts in the distance were emitting an origin magnetic glow. There were also two men in the same state who saluted the grey-haired old man in unison and withdrew.
…
Obviously, Chu Feng's rise on the path of domains had attracted the attention of a number of experts. Some among them were planning to harm him.
"Heh heh, he's so fortunate. Finding another path after becoming a cripple. What a lucky bastard!"
There were even people within the corporations who were sneering. Even though they needed him to nurture their weapons, they were quite pleased and disdainful in their hearts.
That was because the once-unparalleled Demon King Chu had finally fallen. They could look down upon him.
They were laughing coldly even though they knew Chu Feng's future prospects would be significant after he makes progress in the study of domains—who would give him the time?
They felt that in order to be truly powerful and look down on the world, one would need to rely on himself.
These people planned to capture Chu Feng after using him, trapping him within the mountains to help them nurture and produce high-level weapons.
The Wudang Grandmaster's worries were starting to show signs of coming true.
Not everyone in the world required a domain researcher. Some people relied on their own fists and legs and wouldn't take good care of Chu Feng well even if they required him. Right now, there were already some people plotting against him.
On the island in Lake Xuanwu.
Chu Feng was studying an old yellowed volume with great concentration. This was naturally obtained from helping people nurture weapons. The corporations had to at least bring out some substantial items despite keeping some cards hidden.
No small number of major powers had delivered some items and made up an impressive stash when combined. These days, Chu Feng seemed almost intoxicated as he wholeheartedly immersed himself in the study of these books.
During this time, he also carved some magnetic stones from time to time. He was experimenting some things he had comprehended from these remnant volumes.
In the end, he rose and announced the end of his session. He was planning to change locations.
There was no longer any meaning in staying here. He needed to search for special topography and recover his strength to its peak, or even more!
He yearned and looked forward to it. Just how strong would he be with the small grinding stone refining the energy entering his body to such an astonishing degree?
Many people were waiting outside of the island. They continuously delivered weapons for Chu Feng to nurture. They had discovered that Chu Feng possessed profound achievements in this field and was worth cooperating with deeply.
Every major power had good stuff they had been hiding, like divine weapon fragments or legendary weapons that couldn't be revealed to the public. They were planning to invite Chu Feng to work on them in private.
It was just that they found it difficult to force Chu Feng after he announced his intention to study and analyze ancient books. Thus, they had been waiting quietly outside.
As expected, the moment he walked out of the island, agents from every power came to see him and discuss further cooperation. They wanted to invite him towards other areas, most of them being the headquarters of the major powers.
Chu Feng told everyone apologetically that it wasn't quite suitable for him to travel far.
"Everyone, there's a famed mountain in Jiangning. The place is filled with purple mists rising towards the sky and the cries of dragons can be heard from time to time. It's a wonderful place. If you all require my services, we can continue to cooperate there."
Chu Feng pointed towards the distance. It was precisely the famous Mount Zhijin.
Mount Zhijin, although a famed mountain in Jiangning, had always been uninhabited. That was because there were no wondrous flowers or mutant fruits on it despite possessing an extraordinary atmosphere enshrouded in purple mists.
Rumor has it that it was associated with the ancient capital of Jiangning and possessed a great amount of draconic qi that hadn't yet erupted.
Chu Feng had observed it for several days and found that it was extraordinary. The mountain itself was untouchable and concealed within clouds and mist. Had the mountain come into being, it would surely be filled with the fragrance of fruits and help a large number of life forms to evolve.
Chu Feng didn't want to enter the headquarters of the major powers because it was too risky. It was better he remained at his current location and allow the major powers to keep each other in check, forming an equilibrium.
Many people were discontent and continuously persuaded him, but Chu Feng wouldn't agree to a long journey. He planned to deploy his domain on Mount Zhijin.
According to his calculations, he might be able to completely recover to his peak if he could draw upon the energy within this mountain and make use of the special geography to lay out his domain.
The people were helpless and could only accompany him towards Mount Zhijin.
Lin Naoi came to see Chu Feng along the way. There was a slight frown on her supremely pure and beautiful countenance—one could see that she was somewhat hesitant.
