40: The sounds of the forbidden zone of life

The only things Qin Feng could use were the guanghan imperial decree and the three thousand longevity fruits sent by the Weiyang Empress.

The other Quasi-Emperor Weapons and Emperor Weapons had all been taken away by his mother.

Under the fine-sounding pretext of helping him keep them safe.

That night!

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, with a gentle, slanting breeze.

The Ten Great Empresses had not left.

Instead, they had moved into the Mansion where Qin Feng lived.

The Qingqiu Empress Ye Xinyu did not stop them.

With so many gifts, she was already beaming with joy.

Inside the Mansion.

Everyone was picking out the better rooms, the ones closer to Qin Feng.

Inevitably, another round of arguments broke out.

Qin Feng, however, was called to Ye Xinyu's room for a talk.

"Xiao Feng, although these gifts are good, your strength is too weak."

"Mother keeping them for you is also for your own good."

Ye Xinyu said softly, her hands behind her back.

Qin Feng did not argue; he gave a bright smile and said:

"Mother, keeping them is fine."

"But you have to give me at least one or two Supreme Divine Weapons!"

"Otherwise, I'd be too embarrassed to say I'm the Emperor's Son."

As he spoke, Qin Feng's voice grew smaller and smaller, as if he had been wronged.

"That's not a problem,"

With a "whoosh" sound,

Ye Xinyu took out a Azure Thunder Sword and handed it to Qin Feng.

At the same time, she removed the Seal on the sword.

"By the way, there is also a Shura Spear at the door."

"You can use that too now."

Ye Xinyu beckoned toward the door, and a long spear instantly flew over.

The Azure Thunder Sword and the Shura Spear.

The two Supreme Divine Weapons, products of the Forbidden Zone, were finally unlocked.

"Is that it...?"

Qin Feng put away the two Supreme Divine Weapons and asked.

"How many more do you want?"

"Do you want a slap from me?"

Ye Xinyu raised her hand, not spoiling Qin Feng at all.

"No, no!"

"Mother, get some rest early. Goodnight!"

Qin Feng waved his hand and hurriedly fled the room.

"Wait...!"

"Get back here."

Before Qin Feng could even step out of the room, he was called back.

"Mother, is there another Supreme Divine Weapon?"

Qin Feng's face lit up with joy, and he walked back, praising her:

"I knew Mother couldn't be that stingy."

Ye Xinyu rolled her eyes, and with a gentle flick of her jade hand, a rectangular box appeared in her palm.

"This is a gift sent by your father."

"I'll leave it for you to keep yourself!"

With a wave of her hand, Ye Xinyu sent the box in front of Qin Feng.

"Oh, right!"

"I almost forgot, there's also Father's gift."

Qin Feng took the box, feeling a jolt of excitement.

He knew from Hui Lan's slip of the tongue that his father was also a big shot.

A powerhouse in the Great Emperor Realm.

Presumably, his gift wouldn't be simple either.

However, on second thought, what good could there be in a gift that Mother didn't even care to keep?

Could Father be a pauper?

An idea surfaced in Qin Feng's mind.

"Alright, get out!"

"Just show some restraint."

"Those... 'sisters' of yours are all staying next door to you tonight."

Ye Xinyu waved her hand and said.

Qin Feng: "Okay, Mother!"

Afterward, Qin Feng left his mother's room and, clutching the box, walked toward his own room.

Regardless of whether the gift was good or bad, it was sent by his father.

He wondered where his father was now.

Why hadn't he come home for fourteen years?

It was all a mystery!

Returning to his room, Qin Feng closed the door and walked to the table.

He placed his father's gift box on the table.

The box was bronze-colored, six feet long, one foot wide, and three feet thick.

Just looking at the box, it felt extraordinary.

He just didn't know what was inside!

"Click!"

Qin Feng pried open a gap in the box.

Instantly, a strange aura spread out.

There was the smell of blood, Killing Intent, and the stench of death.

In an instant, in a daze, Qin Feng saw rivers of blood and fields strewn with corpses.

The surroundings were filled with an Aura of Slaughter.

Filled with this aura, Qin Feng felt no discomfort; instead, he was somewhat excited.

As a villain, these were the things he feared least.

In this world, whose hands weren't stained with blood?

"Child, when you open this box..."

"...I have already sensed your presence."

"Xiao Feng, you've come of age. It is my failure as a father that I cannot be by your side."

"This is the Coming-of-Age Ceremony gift I'm sending you."

"It's not anything great, so just make do with it!"

Steady voices drifted out from within the box.

Qin Feng was stunned.

"Father, where are you?"

"Do you need help?"

"Why don't you come home?"

After a moment, Qin Feng asked the box.

However, there was only silence inside the box, no further response... Life Forbidden Zone!

On a desolate land stood a city.

Inside the city, within a palace.

A tall and imposing young man, dressed in a white robe, faced the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Child, you are still young. When you grow up, I will tell you where I am."

"I heard you've won over the Ten Great Empresses. Truly my son."

"Even more impressive than your old man!"

Before the imposing young man, ancient runes flickered, and he spoke toward those runes.

His voice traveled from the Life Forbidden Zone to the box in front of Qin Feng.

Then, it echoed throughout the room.

Qin Feng thought there would be no response.

But after just two breaths, the voice came again.

"Is this a phone call?"

"Could this treasure be a cell phone?"

Qin Feng hurriedly opened the box completely.

Inside was not a phone, but a strangely shaped diamond-like stone.

The stone contained terrifying world essence.

On its surface were carved countless ancient runes.

"Father...?"

"Are you still there?"

Qin Feng asked the stone.

"I'm still here."

Qin Feng discovered that the sound was coming through the ancient runes on the stone's surface.

"What is this you sent me?"

"Ahem!"

"A stone containing the essence of heaven and earth."

"It can provide the purest Spiritual Qi to help you Cultivate quickly."

Runes flickered on the stone, and the voice spoke again.

"Father, when will you come back?"

Qin Feng asked again.

"Soon, very soon."

"Alright, I can't say anymore."

"I have to get back to work."

The runes on the stone slowly faded, and the voice grew quieter and quieter.

On the city walls in the Life Forbidden Zone.

Fearing he wouldn't be able to bear the longing, the young man hurriedly wiped away the runes in the air.

The Inscriptions on his side were connected to that Essence Stone.

As long as he wiped them away, he could no longer transmit his voice.

"Damned the ominous, Darkness Creatures."

"I'll suppress you all for another thousand years! You've made it so I can't return home."

"I can't even take a look at my child now that he's grown."

After wiping away the runes, a powerful aura erupted from the young man.

For a million li around, space trembled.

Heaven and earth paled in comparison!
