Chapter 840: Great Freedom and Unconscious Fire (6200)

After Chen Yunfei defeated Yin Xuanyan, he began to refine this ball of Taixu power and notified his team.

He had left his team long ago, or rather, he was responsible for finding the Taixu node, while the team was responsible for placing the formation plate. This was also the most common team mode. After all, placing the formation plate took too long, and it was a waste of time to let these talented people do it themselves. It would be better for them to refine more Taixu power.

As descendants of the Yuanshen, the family would provide them with the power of the Great Void, but there was a quota. The top five in the family competition could get one, and anyone who could reach the peak of the foundation building stage would also get one.

But there are only two normal channels to obtain Taixu power.

“The war is imminent, and even the power of the Great Void has been fully unlocked. It is hard to imagine what kind of enemy we will fight next.”

Relying on the family secret treasure, Chen Yunfei quickly absorbed this group of Taixu power into his body and gradually refined it. He closed his eyes, exhaled, and then slowly opened his eyes. There was a faint purple light rotating in his eyes: “This thing can not only increase the probability of achieving a Purple Mansion True Person, but also is the base of the core control pivot array of the Taixu Skyship… Under normal circumstances, so much Taixu power would have been taken away by the ancestors long ago. Even if it is used as maintenance materials, it is more valuable than a few Purple Mansion True Persons who came out earlier.”

“It’s fine for us. We can advance earlier and prepare to impact the Golden Core earlier. As for other small families… I’m not discriminating, but for a family company that doesn’t even have the Golden Core path, why would they need to reach the Purple Mansion so early?”

Chen Yunfei is confident that he can achieve the Purple Palace without the power of the Great Void. He just likes to think, to think about the “original appearance” behind all things.

Thinking, he continued to move forward.

In the central area of ​​the Yinshan Hub, the power of the void is strong, which is very suitable for the Luofu system’s void magic. In fact, what Yin Xuanyan said was right. In the outside world, the two of them might have to fight for more than a hundred moves to determine the winner, but now he has the advantage.

Of course, neither of them actually used their full strength: battle armor, magic weapons, hidden magical powers, family bloodline… these things that are usually not displayed, but will kill people if displayed, they didn’t use any of them.

So, in the end, it’s just…

It’s just children playing house.

Thinking of this, Chen Yunfei felt even more annoyed. He had walked through the wilderness and even the unfamiliar areas beyond the wilderness, strange lands that even the four major groups could not explore. There, he encountered many life-and-death crises. He had also walked through slums and knew the tragic lives of many poor people.

That is a danger and misery that can never be seen or even understood in the upper class.

In the strange land outside the wilderness, everything has become another world. Weird flowers and mosses cover the earth, like an endless gray grassland, and above it, countless poisonous insects and evil beasts breed. A bite from the tiniest insect will cause a monk’s arm to become red, swollen and bleeding, and those giant beasts that are like galloping horses are running endlessly. Just watching them running gives people a sense of freedom that makes their souls want to fly away and want to run with them. This is not just an expression, but the danger of the soul leaving the body and dying at any time.

In the slums, he saw many “poor people” who could not work. Are they really unable to work? Physically unable. Toxic gases and acid rain are everywhere in the downtown area. To resist them, raincoats and bamboo hats are a necessity. But even so, some people who really have no talent gradually have their lungs rusted and can only be replaced with prosthetic lungs.

But how can the cheap prosthetic lungs used by ordinary people be the Tianji Yanti of the monks, which is more powerful than the original lungs? Cheap prosthetic lungs are just oxygen pumps in the body, and they are also not resistant to corrosion. They need to be replaced after a period of use. Many prosthetics are like this, and they are actually not as good as the original limbs and internal organs.

They have not done any good deeds, and if they want to stay alive and continue to get lung transplants, they will have to sell the rest of their relatively healthy flesh and internal organs… and when they have sold all the flesh and blood in their bodies, they will become extremely fragile “inhuman pariahs” with only life and soul left.

Until the end, if they are still alive, they will sell their souls as well, and completely become part of the spiritual contract slaves, the original body of the ghost cultivator, or the material.

The slums, downtown areas, safe zones… under the gangs, there are people everywhere who have become desperate and depraved for various reasons and have completely walked onto a path of no return. They gather together, activate the Heart-Concentrating Talisman, and enjoy the spiritual peace and happiness. Every day, there will be a law enforcement team to patrol and deal with the body parts that are almost corroded by acid rain to avoid the accumulation of deadly evil spirits.

Chen Yunfei watched all this with cold eyes. He was smart enough to see that these people were all experimental materials. Many technical prototypes of Yuhua Dao came from this way. Anyone who used cheap prosthetics was essentially providing the Tiangong Bureau with low-level experimental data. With the support of mountains and seas of experimental materials, the upper-level monks’ experiments could proceed smoothly, and Yuhua Dao could develop rapidly. Even now, even the Dao fetus body can be tried to be experimentally manufactured.

For the sake of this grand path, the lives of these people are easily crushed, and their fate is to be thrown into the furnace and become the fuel for forging some kind of magical weapon and avenue.

Even… Chen Yunfei had a terrifying premonition in his heart.

That is, from a logical point of view, there was no need for the Tianyuan Realm to give birth to so many “ordinary people” from the very beginning.

During the demonic calamity back then, if the four surviving inheritances and large and small aristocratic families wanted to maintain their inheritance, or even go further, they only needed to continue to follow the sect’s elite route. There was no need to build such a huge spiritual vein city. Although there might be fewer people, the resources were concentrated, and it was not impossible to produce a few geniuses, and ordinary people would not have to suffer the torture of the end of the world and endure hardships after they were born.

However, the Heavenly Masters chose another path.

All the people in the entire Tianyuan Realm. Chen Yunfei thought. In other words, those who are regarded as “non-human” by the group other than “human”… the birth of those “humans”… are all deliberate.

They have the right to survive, but at the same time, they are deprived of the right to become human beings, because they were born to become test subjects of the “New Way”.

Even the Aristocratic Group, they themselves…

Faced with such callous brutality, even the descendant of the Yuanshen spirit and the future head of the Chen family could not help but remain silent.

Compared with such grand cruelty and oppression, and this kind of “seeking the truth”, having a painless competition with the heirs of other big families to see who is stronger is really a boring thing.

He continued to walk forward, and every footprint he left was covered by the flying snow.

Then suddenly he listened.

Chen Yunfei turned his head to look at the other side of the flying snow, the other side of the thick snow curtain, and then disappeared in a flash, turning into an imperceptible shadow.

A dozen miles away, a dying monk was calling for help.

Dozens of miles behind him, there was a crashed air shuttle, which was obviously destroyed by the enemy and was emitting black smoke.

The survivor was struggling to escape from something, but he had no strength left. He fell headfirst into the snow, but was supported up by a hand.

“What happened?”

Chen Yunfei frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the shuttle’s destruction: “We can compete in the big competition. Although I have heard from father and others that someone will kill people in the secret realm…but at least there must be treasures of sufficient value, or a personal vendetta, right?”

Turning his head, he looked at the cultivator who was panicked, crying, and still a little confused about the situation. He looked at him carefully: “I remember you… aren’t you the one from the Mu family? Where is your eldest daughter, Mu Yanxia?”

“died……”

The cultivator of the Mu family shed tears, and they condensed into ice crystals in the next moment: “They are all dead… We encountered a monster deep in the core. It was too powerful. There was no chance to escape…”

Monster?

Chen Yunfei narrowed his eyes. He was not anxious. Instead, he leaned over and asked patiently: “What monster? What happened? Tell me in detail how you fought, what magical powers you had, what abilities you had, from the place where you encountered it to how you escaped in the end. Think about it and tell me.”

A good answer must be accompanied by a good question. The most important thing now is to use questions to calm the person in front of you and let him express his feelings.

“let me see……”

The Mu family cultivator lowered his head and muttered to himself, “In the beginning, we were planning to get closer to the Yinshan hub. The young master said that according to the family’s intelligence, there is a large Taixu node there. One is better than ten. As long as we can get through, the family will send support… But who knew that there were monsters lurking there. They have been there since the beginning, but they were patient when the family explored last time, and only attacked us when we arrived.”

“That was when the Great Void Altar was being set up and Young Master was refining the Great Void Power. Suddenly, a group of demons swarmed out from the Great Void rift. The magical powers they were using were very strange, just like…”

His voice became lower and lower, causing Chen Yunfei to subconsciously move closer to hear more clearly: “It’s like this.”

Suddenly, the originally weak voice became sonorous, and the Mu family cultivator with tears on his face suddenly jumped up, and his left hand was stained with a layer of dark flames. If fire is something that brings light, then it is something that devours light. Wherever it passes, all spiritual evil spirits begin to degenerate, become dull, uncontrollable, and go against people’s will. They gallop freely, causing the magic to collapse and the supernatural powers to collapse.

【Great Freedom without Bright Fire】

With his palm raised like a knife, carrying the fire of ignorance, the Mu family cultivator slashed towards Chen Yunfei’s chest!
But, the next moment, it was shocked to find that its palm was gone.

“Alas, why don’t you say more? It costs more to lie to people, otherwise no one will believe you.”

Chen Yunfei sighed and slowly stood up. In front of him, tiny cracks in the void opened and closed. Unknowingly, the body of the Mu family cultivator had been chopped into pieces by the sword energy. “Although your disguise is flawless, even if you are really a human, I still have to be on guard, not to mention in this secret realm.”

Before he could say anything more, the body of the Mu family cultivator suddenly collapsed and turned into a monster, a shapeless mass of flesh and blood, which was the evil demon.

But unlike ordinary evil demons, it is disguised perfectly, but from the demonic aura and actions, there is no difference between it and humans.

Unfortunately, humans are the most murderous animals. Chen Yunfei has killed more people than monsters. Having realized something was wrong a long time ago, he naturally would not hold back.

“The Mu family’s team really encountered an unexpected event. Although we had long guessed that there was a demon invasion, we didn’t expect it to reach the point where the team of a big family would be wiped out.”

After killing the monster, Chen Yunfei’s expression became solemn. He looked at the endless snow and wind clouds on the other side and couldn’t help muttering: “Such a large family team can’t even draw in the power of the ancestor in time? Or was it cut off from the beginning?”

“Sure enough, this four-city competition is very special and ten times more dangerous than in the past.”

Xuanyuan Qi began to emanate, Chen Yunfei shook his head, no longer thinking about it, he raised his sword finger, refined all the Xuanyuan Qi, turned it into Taixu sword Qi, superimposed it, then picked up the gourd on his waist, stored all the Taixu sword Qi, accumulated it. His cultivation had long reached the peak of foundation building, and Xuanyuan Qi was no longer useful.

“Be careful and cautious. Don’t rush through the Taixu node. If you encounter anyone, hide.”

After sending the message to his team, Chen Yunfei thought about it and decided to continue exploring and find other people.

Maybe it’s arrogance. I can handle these problems easily, but others may not be able to see through these tricks.

If the demon is really lurking in the dark, then everyone in the secret realm is in danger. But the most important thing is to ensure that other stronger people are not killed by surprise attacks in advance.

It’s not for the future of the human race. Chen Yunfei just has a feeling that if he can’t guarantee his own combat effectiveness, things in the future… will be very difficult.

Actively looking for people is definitely easier than looking for those introverted Taixu forces. After flying back and forth for about an hour, Chen Yunfei found the traces of several other people he was familiar with.

“Brother Feng, why are you unwilling to fight with me? The power of the Great Void is so strong here, are you just going to give it to me?”

Qi Luoyang of Lianshan frowned slightly. He sat on the shoulder of a hidden puppet who obeyed his orders for some reason. He looked unhappy. “Although you are from an outside family, you are extremely talented. You have been granted permission by Shouyang Mountain to practice the True Spirit Seal. This kind of honor may not be granted even by the true disciples of the ancient Taoist temples. You need both talent, morality and fate to be able to do it.”

He was usually lazy and had to find a means of transportation even when traveling. From a distance, he looked like a frail person. But now he sat up straight, and although he was still too lazy to stand up, his expression had swept away his former depression and he seemed to be in high spirits. It was obvious that he was eager to try and want to compete with others.

Opposite him was a tall young man with a flaming belt on his head. It was Feng Yuxuan from Shouyang Mountain.

Even in the snow, he still wore a short-sleeved vest and a cape. Although his clothing taste was very poor, his strong “feeling” could make up for everything.

When he spoke, he was even more straightforward: “I don’t have time to waste with you. The time I spend fighting with you is enough for me to find three more Taixu nodes.”

Chen Yunfei sensed it carefully and found that this place was deep in the hub. The power of Taixu was indeed so strong that even ordinary people without talent could vaguely sense the distortion and flow of time and space.

On the other side, Qi Luoyang couldn’t hold back: “Do you really want to win the first place? The Feng family is not stupid. They won’t recruit a genius like you? Rankings are just empty names. What’s important is to truly improve yourself!”

“Wouldn’t it be good for you to fight with me?”

“Have.”

Feng Yuxuan glanced at the young master in front of him, knowing that if he didn’t explain clearly, the other party would definitely not let it go, so he said briefly: “But I don’t need it. The True Spirit Seal will refine your soul and body. You need to replenish and adapt to the void, and I will feel at ease as if I have returned home.”

“I want to get first place to test whether I can do it, not to prove to my family that I am qualified. As for you, you want to fight me and test some things I know, such as the real purpose of this four-city competition, right? To tell you the truth, I don’t know. You can’t ask me. You have to ask Chen Yunfei who is squatting in the snow next door. He is a descendant of the Yuanshen bloodline, so he should know.”

Chen Yunfei was startled. He didn’t expect that Feng Yuxuan could see through him. But since he was called out, he didn’t feel embarrassed and walked out: “Excuse me, I was looking for you guys. I didn’t expect you two were talking about something. I didn’t want to disturb you.”

“Old Chen.” Qi Luoyang shouted rudely from the other side, “You…”

“He wanted to ask if you were attacked by a demon as well.”

Feng Yuxuan interrupted, causing Qi Luoyang to glare at him. He then frowned and looked at the two suspiciously: “Also? You too?”

Chen Yunfei also raised his eyebrows: “Also?”

“He didn’t see it, but I did.” Feng Yuxuan didn’t pay attention to Qi Luoyang’s angry scolding behind him, “What do you mean? You saw it but you didn’t tell me, right?” Instead, he said calmly, “This man came to challenge me, not for the power of Taixu, but to test whether I have been replaced by the demon… After I saw that he didn’t have it, I was too lazy to fight him. With this time, I might as well open up a few Taixu nodes as soon as possible and report to the higher-ups.”

“As for you, you were probably just attacked? Do you know anything?”

“I am not sure as well.”

As soon as Chen Yunfei finished speaking, Qi Luoyang lay back on Yan Kui’s shoulder in disappointment: “How come you don’t know? I found it strange from the beginning. The mission given to me by the ancestor is just one sentence, which is to survive… This is obviously a big deal, but since it is such a dangerous matter, why do you have to let me participate, and it is best to advance here? Is my bloodline needed? I don’t understand.”

“So I wanted to poke around a bit and see what other people knew.”

Now that the words were clear, Feng Yuxuan didn’t mind explaining: “My family told me that I need to advance to the Purple Palace here. After the advancement, everything will become clear.”

Chen Yunfei shook his head slightly: “The ancestor asked me to find the central Taixu hub of this place, set up the Taixu altar there, advance to the Purple Mansion, and call for its power to descend – if others want to grab it, defeat them, no matter who they are.”

“Awesome. I want you to defeat all the heroes and prove your invincibility, right? As expected of a family with a Taoist ancestor, you speak with a strong attitude.”

Qi Luoyang gave a thumbs up and said, “It’s a pity that it won’t work this time. I think most of the team will be attacked by the demons. Let’s get together and find a few other good players, such as An Xuan. It would be a good choice for everyone to stick together.”

An Xuan…

Chen Yunfei was thoughtful. He was also very concerned about this immortal root who suddenly appeared and showed unprecedented strength. Unlike Qi Luoyang and Yin Xuanyan, who were too familiar and no longer surprised, he came from the wilderness or from other caves. The secrets on him were irrelevant. Chen Yunfei just wanted to know…

Want to know…

What does another world, another system that cultivates such a genius look like?

Chen Yunfei was a little distracted, but Feng Yuxuan’s voice beside him brought him back to his senses: “The Taixu Center is nearby. It’s difficult for us to find it without the Taixu magic, but with you, we should be able to find it quickly.”

“indeed.”

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Yunfei looked around at the surrounding silver mountains. He knew that this place was indeed the core hub. He was about to use his magical powers to sense the center, but he soon showed surprise on his face.

Not only that, Qi Luoyang and Feng Yuxuan’s expressions also changed slightly, and they looked around in shock.

Because, just now, everyone noticed… a powerful Taixu wave, spreading from the center to the entire hub!
“Someone has already activated the Taixu Altar in the central hub?!”

Qi Luoyang was surprised and asked, “Who is it? How can he be faster than our Lao Chen?”

“Not only that.” Chen Yunfei looked solemn, his brows furrowed as he said, “I sensed a trace of demonic energy!”

“It might have been started by a demon. We must stop him!”

At this point, it is no longer the time to care about trivial details. The three of them joined forces and flew across the sky together, rushing towards the center of Taixu!

Another place.

Yin Xuanyan walked alone in the endless snowfield.

“Lost again.”

The young man bit his finger in annoyance. Unlike the handsome young man seen by outsiders, Yin Xuanyan in private looked like a worried boy who was always worried about something: “I have done my best, but I still lose. Even if I win, I may not win beautifully… The competition is over, and I will be pointed at again.”

Unlike what everyone imagined, the descendants of the Yuanshen bloodline of the Dongtian family are not doing well. People like Yin Xuanyan, the head of the younger generation of the family, are all selected to be the face of the family. Although they are indeed the strongest, there are similar geniuses who follow closely behind them. It can’t be said that they are countless, but there are definitely more than a dozen.

If he fails to win the competition, it won’t be a big deal, but there will be many people in the family who will secretly blame him. It’s not a big problem for him if he can’t win, but what about his mother?
With the ancestor around, the struggles in the big family wouldn’t be so fierce until now. However, his father has so many wives and concubines, but his mother only has him as a child. If he can’t fight for his dignity, his mother may not be able to be buried in the Yin family’s ancestral tomb in the future… After all, they are descendants of the Yuanshen bloodline. If he can’t become a true person, or his direct relatives can’t become true gods, even their names are not worth leaving behind!

Yin Xuanyan knew very well that the reason why his cultivation speed had slowed down recently was either because of other things or because he was thinking too much. Too much pressure was on him, from his family, his own, his future, and others… He was a sword cultivator, and it was a taboo to have a messy mind, but the development of the situation did not allow him to not think too much.

He wanted to be number one, achieve himself, and protect his family. But the more he cared about these things, the weaker he became.

Do I really have to stop thinking about anything, practice cultivation wholeheartedly, purify my mind and cut off worldly thoughts in order to become stronger?

In his distress, he heard a voice.

【Yin Xuanyan】

“Who?”

Turning his head, the young man had already grasped the long sword at his waist. He looked solemn, because he had not sensed any breath just now, and the voice came from the wind and snow.

Soon, a young man in white holding a folding fan in his hand walked out of the wind and snow, as if he appeared naturally.
