110: First visit to Zishan

Daoist Wan Ya finally waited for Ye Feng to emerge. He did not sense any cultivator's aura on Ye Feng.

This led him to believe his guess was correct: Ye Feng was merely a lucky individual who had stumbled upon a special opportunity.

But soon, he understood what kind of existence he had provoked.

With just a single gaze, Daoist Wan Ya was pressed to the ground, feeling as if death would be a release.

He quickly begged for mercy: "This esteemed senior, this humble cultivator was wrong! Please spare me! This humble cultivator is willing to hand over everything!"

"Letting you go is impossible. How about you become my demon?"

Ye Feng made his decision with a smile.

Daoist Wan Ya breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that following this strong individual might not be so bad.

But he would soon realize how terribly wrong he was, because Ye Feng had no intention of taking him as a subordinate.

What he needed was a good test subject.

Daoist Wan Ya happened to have decent strength and a not-too-low cultivation realm, making him suitable for Ye Feng to test many things he had collected in this world.

Ye Feng manifested a Small World and imprisoned Daoist Wan Ya within it.

He was not in a hurry to conduct his experiments on Daoist Wan Ya right now.

After achieving the Fifth Generation Divine Body, Ye Feng decided to visit one of the most important places of opportunity in this world to 'punch in'.

This place was precisely the infamous Purple Mountain on the Big Dipper Star.

Purple Mountain is one of the locations on the Big Dipper Star where Great Emperors left significant traces, and also a treasure trove that countless seekers would enter to explore.

Ye Feng was very envious of the various data regarding Purple Mountain, as well as the knowledge and techniques contained within the Yuan Tian Divine Art.

The former subordinates of the Undying Heavenly Emperor are suppressed within Purple Mountain.

Ye Feng was also very interested in researching the various mysteries contained within them.

Most importantly, Purple Mountain contains the wushi bell, the Emperor weapon of Great Emperor Wushi.

Ye Feng greatly desired its data; even obtaining a portion would be a huge gain for him.

And also the Wushi Scripture.

Others found it difficult to read the information within it, but Ye Feng followed a technological path. Perhaps he could use technological means to read the Wushi Scripture information inside.

If successful, this would be a huge harvest.

Purple Mountain was a massive treasure trove, waiting to be developed.

And now, Ye Feng, having achieved the Fifth Generation Divine Body and possessing quasi-Emperor level combat power, along with the neutron war star, already had the strength to explore these treasure troves and develop them.

But before that, Ye Feng decided to intercept a special opportunity.

The li fire furnace!

This was Great Emperor Hengyu's divine weapon before he attained the Dao, existing between a quasi-Emperor weapon and an Emperor weapon, superior to a quasi-Emperor weapon.

This divine item could not become an Emperor weapon simply because it could not contain the Great Emperor's Rules.

But its power was absolutely not to be underestimated.

The li fire furnace was in the Li Fire Sect. Ye Feng arrived at the Li Fire Sect and easily suppressed all of them with just his telekinesis (Nianli, psychic power).

But he did not eliminate these people; instead, he chose to capture all of them alive.

These cultivators were also good experimental subjects, very useful for testing the Dao and methods of this world, and even the mysteries of curse-level powers.

For example, the red hair curse on the Yuan Tian Master; Ye Feng had always been very curious about the essence of this power and wanted to conduct some research.

"Everyone, I will not kill you. As long as you cooperate with me in the future, I can spare your worthless lives!"

Ye Feng broke the legs of all members of the Li Fire Sect and threw them into the Small World where Daoist Wan Ya was held.

As cultivators, they could naturally recover from such injuries quickly.

After destroying the entire Li Fire Sect, Ye Feng also successfully obtained the greatest opportunity of this faction, the li fire furnace!

The current li fire furnace, as a treasure second only to an Emperor weapon, had entered a state of dormancy.

Because its power was insufficient.

The Li Fire Sect simply did not understand the preciousness of the li fire furnace and could not unleash the true wondrous use of this treasure.

After obtaining it, Ye Feng directly gathered the Great Sun energy from the Big Dipper Star, invoked the endless blazing sun power of the sun through a special space-time channel, and introduced it into the li fire furnace, ultimately fully activating this treasure.

Ye Feng then conducted a simple study on it.

He used his Thought (Nian, mind/thought) to control this quasi-Emperor weapon and read the Great Emperor Hengyu's Emperor Dao Rules within it, which was Great Emperor Hengyu's understanding and application of Rules.

With the li fire furnace in hand, Ye Feng felt an added layer of confidence when facing Purple Mountain.

Then he arrived at the location of Purple Mountain.

Ye Feng did not disturb the descendants of the Yuan Tian Master in the village outside Purple Mountain; he didn't need any stone skin.

After circling the enormous Purple Mountain and recording data such as its terrain and energy dissipation, Ye Feng successfully found the passage Heavenly Emperor Ye used to enter the interior of Purple Mountain.

He certainly had no intention of directly blasting open Purple Mountain to force his way in; that would undoubtedly provoke a counterattack from the wushi bell.

Through a mine tunnel, Ye Feng successfully arrived at the first checkpoint for entering Purple Mountain.

The yin-yang eye!

This was a terrifying geographical formation.

However, it was only powerful for ordinary cultivators, but for Ye Feng, this yin-yang eye was just mediocre.

It's just that the Rule information contained when this geographical formation took shape was very special.

Ye Feng was not in a hurry to advance. He carefully studied its Rule mysteries and eventually obtained the balanced Solar Rules and Lunar Rules.

But the Yin-Yang Rules he was familiar with did not exist.

At this moment, Ye Feng finally discovered a peculiar problem with this world.

The entire Big Dipper Star of this world seemed to lack Yin-Yang Rules, and even more so, balanced Rules!

These Yin-Yang Rules and balanced Rules, which are bound to exist in other worlds, seemed to be absent in the Big Dipper Star region of the entire Shrouding the Heavens world.

Ye Feng also did not detect any traces of Yin-Yang Rules or balanced Rules existing in the surrounding heaven and earth.

Some might say that there is a Yin-Yang Sect in this world.

But their doctrines did not involve true Yin-Yang Rules.

Extreme Yang, Extreme Yin, Pure Yang, Pure Yin, Lesser Yang, Lesser Yin—these Rules also exist in this world.

But there are no Yin-Yang Rules where Yin and Yang combine.

In this world, Yin and Yang counteract each other, but Yin and Yang seem to have never coexisted, never truly merged.

Perhaps, it's not just the Big Dipper Starfield that lacks them; it might be the entire world!

The absence of true Yin-Yang Rules might be the real root cause of the Yuan Tian Master's red hair curse and the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's curse in their later years.

Furthermore, the dark source of the entire world might also be related to its lack of true Yin-Yang Rules and balanced Rules.

Ye Feng looked at this yin-yang eye; it was merely the result of the balance between Yin evil energy and Yang evil energy, a geographical formation that guided the circulation of earth power, ultimately leading only to a situation where Yin power and Yang power were balanced here.

So it was terrifying, but also difficult to destroy.

With his previous conjecture, Ye Feng decided that after leaving the Big Dipper in the future, he would see if the starry sky also lacked Yin-Yang Rules and balanced Rules.

He needed to verify this conjecture in the future, to see if this bold analysis could reveal the root cause of the anomalies in the entire world, and even the Perfect Era.

Was it inherently absent, or did someone sever the operation of these two Rules in this world?

After studying the yin-yang eye for a while, Ye Feng easily passed through it without causing any damage.

In reality, he directly staticized the entire yin-yang eye with powerful Nianli, making it stop functioning, passing through by sheer force.

After passing this point, the true interior of Purple Mountain lay ahead. Feeling the dark aura of ancient creatures present throughout the passage, Ye Feng was very excited.

I hope you all come out this time; that way, I'll have plenty of research material on primordial creatures!
