Chapter 477: Trading Divine Children and Saintesses

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Chu Feng respired methodically. His mouth and nose suffused were with white mist, which, to others, was known as immortal mist. It dilated the body's pores and energized the limbs.

As his metabolism increased, the vibrant luminescence on his entire body gradually diminished.

In his mind, he had formed the initial form of a small obscure man using his spiritual powers. The man stood quietly, holding a big halberd in his hand.

Boom!

Golden clouds appeared the moment he switched to the Thunderous Breathing Technique. It was as if all of his vital organs were being electrocuted, reverberating, and even his bones appeared pale golden.

At this moment, he resembled a golden God.

His blood pounding and releasing bone-shattering rolls of thunder. It appeared his energy had been strengthened even further.

He was very satisfied. It was said that after breaking the twelfth shackle, one's powers wouldn't grow any further. But this wasn't the case for him.

The energy saturation levels within Chu Feng's body had increased by several folds. He was no doubt stronger than before, and it was an incredibly terrifying transformation.

Ka-cha!

The Thunderous Breathing Technique was extraordinarily mighty. So much so that the degree of his evolution had become even more vigorous. There was a violent explosion sounding from his bones and his skin began to crack. He was molting!

Chu Feng felt himself breaking another ten shackles. It was a horrifying evolution.

It should be noted that he had spent such a long time to sever twelve shackles. Yet consuming the immortal peach divine medicine he almost equaled the accumulation of his previous achievements.

"As expected of a divine medicine!"

Chu Feng was moved. But he knew it wasn't perfect and that the human body had many more shackles than this.

However, the peach's medicinal effect was starting to wear off.

Sure enough, as Yao Yao had said, this wasn't the most effective fruit the ancestral peach root could produce. Furthermore, it had been here for many years and lost much of its medicinal qualities.

If it were one of those peaches with a truly rich medicinal effect, even a golden arhat would fight to the death for it.

Soon afterwards he picked up another peach, which refracted a rosy glow like a red diamond. Its luster was dazzling, and it emanated a lovely fragrance.

He swiftly took a big crunchy bite and his mouth was full of its red juices. The rich aroma drifted towards and was caught by those by the altar.

"Ah…"

Yuan Kun shrieked, unable to bear it any longer. His eyes grew red as he watched Chu Feng take the divine medicine and gnaw on the fruit.

He was a saint child from the diamond ape race. He belonged to the ape family and hence favored peaches. This kind of divine medicine made him scratch his ears and cheeks. He longed to kill Chu Feng with a single slap and seize the fruit from him.

"How despicable! Even our Penglai orthodox lineage couldn't obtain such offerings. How can he, the false one passing himself as a pureblood descendant, proceed onto the altar and savor divine medicine?!"

Chen Rong had extraordinary looks, but she appeared somber with cold, distant eyes.

"We can't let him evolve." Qi Yu, the Prince of Great Qi, said. There was coldness on his face, but for the moment he had no way of stopping him.

"Can we force him to come down and cut him short midway?!" said Yuwen Feng with sullen eyes and a chilling tone, "For example, find a hundred or so of those who have connections with him and kill them all to make him come."

As a star knight's descendant, he was rather indifferent to life and death. During their era, his ancestors achieved much more outrageous things, so it felt natural and normal to utter such words.

Zhu Wuque nodded in agreement and said, "We should slaughter those living in places he had once stayed!"

The Nine Yin Sparrow made it clear that he must finish what he'd started. He couldn't watch Chu Feng rise—it was better to kill him while it was still early.

"He is so thick-skinned and exceptionally shameless. He couldn't possibly be forced to come down," said Zhan He.

"That's not necessarily the case. People have complicated personalities, including your race and mine. Perhaps he won't be able to bear it, and come down," said the white-haired Lie Shan. He had a mouth full of brilliant white teeth, flashing with a cold gleam.

Chen Rong thought for a moment before saying, "Mn, I know of a place. He once lived in a town at the foot of Mount Taihang for quite a while."

Someone shook their head and said, "There isn't enough time. By the time we purge the town with blood, everything here would've already ended. It would only anger him further and he wouldn't rest until we are dead. It's completely unscrupulous."

"We must think of a way to interfere and get rid of him. He can't be ignored!" Yuwen Feng said coldly.

Many were complaining on the origin beast platform.

It was too difficult to capture the scene and sounds upon Mount Tai using clairvoyance and the dao fruit crystallization of clairaudience.

There were domains within the Pilgrimage Grounds, especially where the altar was. Some of the runes had already been activated and so affected how clairvoyance and clairaudience captured the imageries and sounds.

As a result, the live stream on the origin beast platform was stuttering and blurry.

But people could still hear part of the conversations, such as Chen Rong's treacherous statement. It made evolvers of all races feel deep contempt.

"Such a cunning and devious woman should be killed!

"A toxic woman, she has a terrible nature."

Simultaneously, those gods and saintesses were joining forces together to capture Chu Feng. It was a strange sight to behold in everyone's eyes. After all, they had let Chu Feng successfully ascend onto the altar.

Those watching the commotion cheered it on as it involved saints' descendants, who were famous on their respective planets. They found it exciting that they were now forced to yield on Earth.

"Hurry. I strongly advise the origin beast platform to get in touch with Chu Feng and give him a gold account. I want to make a deal with him on the platform!"

"That's right. If he can defeat Zhu Wuque, I am willing to gift him a secret book via the origin beast platform as a way of thanking him! Zhu Wuque, that dogshit monster, killed my brother!"

It was hectic on the origin beast platform. Some wanted to make deals with Chu Feng, asking him to kill the saint children on Earth.

In fact, someone was very crude and said, "If he can capture a goddess from a high-ranking planet, I am willing to trade him with a top-notch breathing technique."

There was a lot of commotion on the platform.

"Hey, the image is clear for the time being and there's sound. Oh my goodness what is he eating? Heavens, he's already successfully climbed onto the altar. That's an immortal peach medicine and he's gnawing on it with big bites. What a waste of heavenly resources. That stuff needs to be refined into medicine for it to have a terrifying effect. How can he be so careless?!"

A pill refinement grandmaster shrieked on the spot. Pained and distraught, he was on the brink of spitting up blood.

"Quick. I earnestly request the origin beast platform to get in touch with this native immediately and set up a gold account for him. I want to trade with him!"

"That's right. This is the planet's chosen one. Even if it's very disorderly there right now and the celestial network has only just been laid down, it's enough to make an exception and invite him onto the platform!"

The crowd was wild as they watched Chu Feng bite on the two immortal peaches like they were just ordinary fruits. It was incredibly distressing.

Of course, there were some who were sour about it.

Many were envious of him and longed to be in his position.

"Oh heavens, strike him with lightning and let me travel into the past! From now on I'll be known as Chu Feng and, with my rapid and uncontrollable evolution, gods will serve me! I'll capture saintesses and take them as servant girls. Let me do it!"

The group of people was howling and clamoring loudly.

Chu Feng devoured the second peach, and he severed ten or so shackles once again. He felt at ease with brilliant rays reflecting from his body. Then, he was enshrouded within mist as his body began to molt again and again.

This had never happened before in the past. His constitution was enhancing rapidly and the transformation was terrifying.

At this moment Chu Feng's shining jet-black hair had reached his lower back.

"What a pity. One immortal peach would've been enough if its medicinal effect hadn't faded over the years. I could've easily broken through into the visualization realm, to speak nothing of the carefree realm!" Chu Feng shook his head.

There was one last immortal peach in the container. It radiated a scarlet glow and had a rich fragrance.

Chu Feng pondered, then shifted to the divine fruits in another fruit bowl. These Ginseng Fruits were like jade dolls and were each as big as a fist.

Those produced from ancestral roots were called Ginseng fruits. [1] A rare sacred medicine, this stuff would make even old withered saints turn green with envy.

Chu Feng chomped down and bit off a small piece. Immediately, a surge of white mist bubbled up from within his body. His blood activity soared, and from time to time, fracture sounds came from within his body.

This time, Chu Feng changed his breathing technique once again, switching to the one the Yellow Ox taught him. Blood rushed through his entire body, and in an instant, dark red strands seeped out of his body's surface.

The evolution was too violent. His body was producing blood with greater spirituality, and his bones were shaking with astonishing frequency.

Following this, he ate yet another Ginseng Fruit. His entire body surged with blood before turbid blood spewed from his pores.

After this, Chu Feng had severed most of the shackles in his body. He was trembling as the dead cells fell off. The bloodstains disappeared, and his whole body was luminous and flawless like fine jade and sacred gold.

Now his long hair lay across his waist, jet-black and gleaming. His eyes were like stars and full of spirit.

"I'll eat another two cinnabar fruits to be on the safe side," said Chu Feng.

Mauve-colored fruits sat in another container. They weren't very big but were still incredibly fragrant.

They were only as big as a pigeon's egg, and Chu Feng popped two into his mouth in one go before chewing on them. Once again brilliance burst forth from his body and he was immediately enveloped by a bright red treasured halo.

He sensed himself evolving before he gradually calmed down. He was convinced that all of the 50 or so shackles in his body were now severed.

Of course, if he counted the smaller ones it would've been a lot more complicated, and the order of magnitude would've been different.

But he had already released them all through the baptism of the divine medicine.

Chu Feng regulated his breathing and prepared to enter the carefree realm. He took out a supreme scroll.

There was only one immortal peach and two Herbal Returning Pills left. A plate of persimmons remained, each pervading a purple-red radiance with a penetrative luster.

Without a shred of modesty, he put them all away into the jade container, which he then placed inside the spatial bottle.

Suddenly, one of the objects glowed. It was a photon computer seized from the machine race which could be used to connect to the interstellar network.

At this moment, a vivid and lifelike figure leapt out from the photon computer. He introduced himself as one of the origin beast platform's group leaders and invited Chu Feng onto the platform.

What was happening? Chu Feng was confused.

Lin Qi? A group leader? It sounded familiar, and he had once heard Yao Yao address someone called Lin Qi as Little Forest. Of course, he hadn't believed that it was a person because that would've been quite scary.

Chu Feng stared at this handsome yet slightly melancholic man, and candidly said, "Little Forest, what benefit do I get from joining your origin beast platform?"

Little Forest?!

A glimmer of divine light pervaded through the eyes of this dejected yet awfully good-looking man, but it quickly faded away. He said, "There are many benefits. The universe is vast with boundless starry skies, and the planet you're on has been disconnected from the universe for many years. Many natural resources and secret tomes can no longer be found, but you can obtain them by trading with people on the origin beast platform. Besides, if you want to fight with and attack others, you can also do that on the origin beast platform, and receive all sorts of resources."

"Wait a moment. The secret tomes and resources that you talk of, how can I get a hold of them? We are separated by god knows how many light years." Chu Feng didn't find the Little Forest reliable.

Lin Qi answered, "This you don't need to worry about. The Wormhole Express Company will take care of that. Once a transaction is made they will open a wormhole and deliver the goods accurately and without error to the folded spaces on Earth. Inanimate objects can be delivered quickly, but live goods will take a year or so to be transported."

The Wormhole Express Company? Sounds like a delivery company?" Chu Feng muttered, but he was shaking in his heart. This company capable of delivering goods to any part of the universe sounded incredibly powerful.

Ultimately, Chu Feng nodded his consent. He asked this Little Forest to sign him up as a rare gold account member.

"Please choose a name." Lin Qi let him name himself.

"Unrivaled Under the Starry Skies," Chu Feng said at once.

At this moment on the origin beast platform, many were observing and following it all closely. When they heard what was said, there was a huge uproar. This guy was still so domineering, was he really going to use that name?

"You do know, those who have used this name were ultimately met with a violent death and it has been canceled many times. Yes, come to think of it, it hasn't been used for at least five hundred years." Lin Qi looked offbeat.

Those who had used this name were guaranteed to be challenged by others every single day.

"Alas, nevermind. I had better keep a low-profile." Chu Feng shook his head and said, "Many would think of Yao Yao on mention of being unequaled under the starry skies. I'll leave it for her then."

Everyone thought that he was rather self-aware still.

"Being Unequalled is So Lonesome. I'll use this as my name to keep a low-profile." Chu Feng said.

Dang!

All those on the origin beat platform erupted. Low-profile? What a self-centered show-off. Did he want to die?!

"Ok!" Lin Qi shot him a profound glance and firmly settled it all for him.

Soon afterwards, Chu Feng immediately received messages of all sorts, all of which were from those wanting to make a deal with him. They wanted to exchange things for the immortal peach and the persimmons, as well as others.

There were also people who commissioned him to kill Zhu Wuque, as well as some who wanted him to capture and trade saintesses.

"One by one! I won't trade or sell divine medicines! Gods and saintesses, I have eight here. Take a good look to see which one you want and tell me so that we can trade properly!" Chu Feng pointed to the bottom of the altar.

...

[1] The ginseng fruit has a couple of names that were being used randomly all this time. Only now the author explains that different names are used for different origins. I think it'll make things more confusing if I changed the terms now, so I'll just leave it as "ginseng fruit"
