Let's make a pact

Although Zhong Qing had already anticipated it after seeing the words on the stone tablet earlier, hearing the man say it himself still made his heart tremble, and his eyes revealed an uncontrollable excitement.

Blue Star.

This long-lost and familiar name, it had truly been a long time since he heard anyone mention it.

It was also a secret he had kept hidden in his heart, never telling anyone.

“As the saying goes, when old friends meet, tears well up in their eyes. Come, let’s have a drink.” At this moment, Yi Feng said with a smile again, raising his wine cup towards Zhong Qing.

“Good.”

Zhong Qing looked at his fellow countryman in front of him and, without being polite, also raised the wine cup in his hand.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

“Just now you said you were traveling to this world?” After putting down his wine cup, Zhong Qing couldn’t help but ask immediately.

Yi Feng nodded.

After refilling their cups, he continued with a smile, “That’s right. A million years ago, in the timeline of your world, we traveled here.”

“We occasionally sensed a heavenly secret and realized that a million years later, a fellow countryman would transmigrate to this world.”

“Coincidentally, we stumbled upon a secret realm where the owner intended to trap people and seize their bodies, so I took it over, created this space, and left a stone tablet and a wisp of my aura here, waiting for you.”

“In other words, this space within the secret realm was opened just for you!”

“Of course, some of the things and formations left by the original owner of the secret realm are still there. If others enter the secret realm, they can also gain something through their own abilities.”

“Of course, those things are all trash, and you probably wouldn’t even look at them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing was secretly astonished.

This person had actually calculated a million years ago that he would appear here!

And he also realized that what was before him now was not Yi Feng’s true body, but merely a wisp of their aura.

“May I ask, what realm are you currently in?” Zhong Qing asked curiously, “Of course, this question is rather presumptuous, but it’s fine if it’s inconvenient.”

“What’s so presumptuous about it?” Yi Feng laughed.

“Then what is it?”

Zhong Qing looked up.

“Invincible!”

Yi Feng laughed.

Zhong Qing: “…”

“Hahahaha…”

Seeing this, Yi Feng couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then said, “No need to be like this. Actually, we are the same, it’s just that I’m temporarily ahead of you.”

“So, between us, there’s no need for such formalities.”

Saying that, Yi Feng stood up and stretched, then walked to the brazier nearby, squatting down to add more firewood.

“Come, come, lend a hand. Help me fill that copper pot with water and bring it over. Drinking wine is boring; let’s have some of my good tea,” Yi Feng called out.

Zhong Qing picked up the copper pot, walked to a nearby mountain spring, filled the pot with water, and while placing it on the brazier, asked, “Then, have you gone back?”

“Of course.”

Yi Feng smiled, “In the future, you will certainly be the same.”

Zhong Qing exhaled.

A different light shone in his eyes.

“Thank you.”

Soon, with Yi Feng adding firewood, the brazier blazed brightly. He then stood up, clapped his hands, and said, “Let’s make a pact. When that day comes, I’ll wait for you in Jiangnan. Treat me to some skewers.”

“Okay!”

Zhong Qing said with a firm smile.

“Oh, by the way, I haven’t asked for your name yet?” Yi Feng asked again.

“My name is Zhong Qing,” Zhong Qing replied.

“Zhong Qing?” Yi Feng was momentarily stunned.

“Is there a problem?” Zhong Qing asked, puzzled.

“No problem, it’s just a coincidence that I once had a disciple named Zhong Qing,” Yi Feng laughed, “Of course, I don’t mean to take advantage of you; I really did have a disciple named Zhong Qing.”

“That truly is a coincidence,” Zhong Qing also couldn’t help but laugh.

“How about it, do you know how to play Mahjong? A couple of rounds?” Saying that, Yi Feng gently waved his hand, and a set of Mahjong tiles appeared on the stone table. “Call those two outside in; we’ll have just enough for four players.”

“Those two outside probably don’t know the rules. How about calling these few of yours?” Zhong Qing tilted his head to look at the Black-Robed Person on the reclining chair.

“These scoundrels are always so disorganized; they can’t play at all. Just call those two of yours in; it’s not good for them to stay outside. As for the rules, they’re cultivators, so they’ll learn it with one lesson,” Yi Feng laughed.

“That’s true.”

Zhong Qing smiled, looking at the Mahjong tiles Yi Feng had arranged. He had to admit, he felt a little itching to play.

Soon, at Zhong Qing’s summons, Medicine Red Dust and Feng Aotian, who had been waiting outside, walked in one after another.

Upon seeing Yi Feng and the others in the courtyard, Feng Aotian was fine, but Medicine Red Dust was startled.

Although she couldn’t discern the specific strength of these people, their ethereal presence subtly made her feel that they were incredibly powerful.

So powerful, in fact, that it transcended her understanding.

“Greetings, seniors.”

The two quickly bowed.

They hadn’t expected that this person before them would be so approachable.

At the same time, Medicine Red Dust also caught a terrifying key point from Yi Feng’s casual words.

They came from another world.

She couldn’t help but turn her head to glance at Zhong Qing again.

But little did she know.

Her arrival attracted the attention of those by the reclining chair.

The dog, speaking in human tongue, pointed its paw at Medicine Red Dust and shouted, “Bro, bro bro bro, look, a sister, there’s a sister.”

The Black-Robed Person, who had been lying on the reclining chair as if half-dead, sprang up upon hearing this, craning his neck, “Where, where…”

“Scram!”

Yi Feng waved his sleeve, and the Black-Robed Person and his companions instantly vanished without a trace.

“Hehe,” Yi Feng rubbed his nose, smiling awkwardly, “Those scoundrels are always so unruly. Don’t mind them; let’s continue with ours…”

Time slowly passed.

Yet, while the situation in the Void Domain was brewing with crises, and all experts, including the Nether Emperor, were still waiting with varied intentions for the secret realm to open, Zhong Qing and the others were playing Mahjong.

“Pong!”

“I’ll Gang!”

“I’ll Rob the Gang!”

“Hahahaha…”

In the courtyard below the cliff, sounds of joyful laughter could be heard.

After transmigrating to this world for so many years, Zhong Qing was truly happy and truly relaxed, something he rarely experienced.

At the same time, in the Heaven Domain, Enlightenment Peak!

This was one of the one hundred and eight peaks of the Emperors dojo.

The mountains were high and dangerous, soaring into the clouds.

The mountain range was vast, stretching for ten thousand miles.

On the mountain, magnificent golden palaces stood in abundance.

Among the numerous halls, life was vibrant, spiritual energy permeated the air, divine radiance shimmered, and Dao rhyme flowed, clearly making it a supreme cultivation sacred land that people dreamed of.

On the spacious Enlightenment Plaza, many people were cultivating and comprehending the Dao.

“Rumble…”

Some people’s blood qi was like surging waves, and the power of laws around their bodies moved like spiritual snakes.

Boundless light emanated from within their bodies, making them appear like humanoid tyrannical dragons, with terrifyingly surging life essence.

Especially the ten imprints within their bodies, which, during cultivation, emitted light that illuminated their entire bodies, making them look like small suns.

Others had eyes that seemed to be nurturing the sun, moon, and stars, and as their bones vibrated, streaks of sword intent seemed to burst forth from their bodies, making them appear like peerless sharp swords.

And all these people had one thing in common: they possessed ten imprints within their bodies. Each imprint emitted boundless light and exuded subtle, mysterious Dao rhyme, like the embryonic form of the Dao, providing them with powerful assistance on their cultivation path.

Just as everyone was cultivating, Jiu You’s figure appeared above the clouds of Enlightenment Peak.

He was dressed in black robes, his body as still as a mountain. His eyes looked at the prodigies cultivating below, and a look of admiration appeared on his face.

“The talent of this group of people is truly enviable!”

The Innate Dao Body, in the entire Three Thousand Domains of the Lower Realm, was already a rare physique in the world, let alone an Innate Dao Body with ten Innate Dao Imprints!

“Unfortunately, no matter how good the talent of this group of people is, they ultimately have no future!”

In Jiu You’s opinion, as long as Zhong Qing died, with the Emperor Lord’s nature of cutting weeds and eliminating roots, there was no need to keep these people alive. Their talents and physiques would all be stripped away.

The only reason they were spared for now was just in case.

Thinking of this, Jiu You shook his head. With a wave of his hand, figures flew out from his sleeves, falling onto the Enlightenment Plaza like dumplings.

The prodigies brought from the Void Domain were all uniformly settled on Enlightenment Peak.

However, their activities were not restricted before, and many had gone out for training.

During this time, Jiu You had been personally apprehending the Heavenly Dao Institute disciples who had gone out for training.

As dense figures fell onto the Enlightenment Plaza, they instantly startled the cultivators.

Lin Feng, Zhong Qing’s senior disciple, looked at his dizzy and disoriented junior disciples who had been thrown down.

He also saw Jiu You, the perpetrator.

His long, powerful hands unconsciously clenched.

During this time, a fire had been burning in his heart.

Not long ago, a restriction on entering and exiting Enlightenment Peak was inexplicably placed.

Now, his fellow disciples who had gone out for training were brought back in such a manner.

They were thrown down as if they were trash.

He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and angrily questioned, “What is the meaning of this, Fengtian Hall?”

Jiu You glanced indifferently at Lin Feng.

Returning to One Realm Ninth Heaven!

Such cultivation, in his eyes, was no different from an ant, and he was not qualified to speak with him.

But he really wanted to see what kind of reaction these so-called prodigies, whose talent even he envied, would have after learning of their predicament?

Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Even now, haven’t you all understood? You have been imprisoned!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Feng, who had already had a vague suspicion, felt his heart clench.

The faces of the surrounding people turned pale.

“Why is this?”

“We have not committed any wrongdoing. How can you imprison us without reason?”

“No matter what, we are also prodigies listed on the Heavenly Dao Rankings. Aren’t you afraid of the true higher-ups of Fengtian Hall being enraged by your actions?”

Lin Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

“Hehe!”

The playful look on Jiu You’s face intensified.

“Do you all think that within the Emperor Lord’s Dojo, without the Emperor Lord’s permission, anyone would dare to act presumptuously within his dojo?”

This news exploded in everyone’s minds like a bolt from the blue.

At this moment, Lin Feng and the others finally truly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Seeing the panicking crowd, Lin Feng quickly reassured them, “Everyone, don’t be afraid. We are Master’s disciples. Master will definitely come to save us.”

Upon hearing this, the previously somewhat flustered crowd felt as if they had received a calming shot.

Indeed, originally, thinking of opposing Fengtian Hall, everyone subconsciously felt fear, but once they thought of their Master, they inexplicably gained confidence.

Jiu You, who had originally wanted to see these so-called prodigies cry bitterly, saw this and his expression immediately darkened.

“Hmph, a bunch of ignorant fools.”

“Your Master can’t even protect himself, yet you still dream of him coming to save you. Wishful thinking.”
