Chapter 111 - Return
Chapter 111: Return
Chen Feng and the others boarded the boat and began their return journey.
On the way back, they talked about the phenomenon on Mount Kunlun.
Sakurai Longzi told him about the current situation all over the world.
“We’ve already lost almost sixty percent of our people on this trip to the Gaotian Plains without entering the interior, and the [Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets] has lost two out of the five teams that they had sent out.”
“Although one of the teams was killed by Nina Ivanovna, who’s from the Hunter Group, this shows that the places connected to the gods are extremely dangerous.”
“After this, we will be heading to Mount Kunlun. My understanding of Kunlun is definitely not as good as Chen Feng’s. Let Chen Feng explain.”
Sakurai Longzi handed the authority to speak to Chen Feng.
He was the only Chinese here.
“Cough, cough!” Chen Feng coughed twice.
He then spoke up.
“According to Chinese myths and legends, Mount Kunlun is a sacred place. Many beautifu myths and legends are interwoven together to form the myth of Kunlun. The ancients call Mount Kunlun the ‘Ancestor of the Mountains’ and the realm of immortals.”
“Legend has it that back in ancient China, the first emperor, Emperor Huang, was the supreme ruler of the Divine Kingdom. Not only was there a Divine Palace in the sky, but there was also a palace on land. A mythical enlightened beast guarded the palace. Emperor Huang’s palace was built on the ninth peak of Mount Kunlun.”
“In the legends, the most famous deities related to Mount Kunlun were the Queen Mother of the West, Hou Yi, and Emperor Huang. Mount Kunlun was known as the paradise of the gods. Over there, one can find the Queen Mother of the West’s Jade Pool and a divine tree that’s full of pearls and beautiful jade. Legend has it that there are divine trees that burn with inextinguishable flames on the outskirts of Mount Kunlun, and there are also waters in which feathers can’t float in. According to the ancient myths, an immortal named the Queen Mother of the West lived in Mount Kunlun. She had the head of a human and the body of a leopard. She was served by two green birds. It was said that later on, someone called the Duke of the East got together with the Queen Mother of the West. In the end, the Duke of the East evolved to become the original form of the Jade Emperor.”
“Mount Kunlun is surrounded by rich and fascinating mythology. For instance, Nuwa mending the heavens, Gonggong touching the mountains, Chang’e running away to the moon, the Peach Banquet, and so on. All of these myths are related to Mount Kunlun. These legends share the same vast and powerful characteristics. They’re all set in the heavens and earth, and the living things of the world are all viewed in its embryonic form.”
The legendary Mount Kunlun is tall and big. It’s extremely central and forms the divine pillar that connects heaven and earth. If ancient people wanted to become immortals and enter the Celestial Palace, they had to pass through the heavenly pillar! ”
The three of them were completely immersed in the myths after Chen Feng’s introduction.
Sakurai Longzi’s charming eyes were filled with anticipation as she thought about Mount Kunlun.
It was also known as the Kunlun Mountains, China’s top divine mountain, the Thousand Ancestors Mountain, the Kunlun Mound, or the Jade Mountain. What kind of dungeon was hidden inside this divine mountain? What kind of adventure would it be?
Pu Yunmo and Blake were also looking forward to the adventure in twenty days.
…
They all said their goodbyes at the airport.
Chen Feng only wanted to go back and see his sister as soon as possible. He did not know what level his sister was at.
Upon reaching Shanghai, Chen Feng headed home.
He looked at the busy streets along the way, but they could not see anyone busy working. He could not see anyone wandering the streets like they have lost themselves. Most of the bustling shops on the streets sold equipment and weapons, and the people on the streets walked around in small groups of three to five. They were either heading to the dungeons or exploring the wilderness. Nowadays, people only had one goal—to become stronger.
After the gamification of the world, civilization brought about by technology had changed. No matter what kind of job one used to do, or whether one was the boss of some big company, all of that was no longer important from the moment one’s talent was awakened. One would be able to find their own position in the world and use their talent to survive regardless of whether they had awakened an F-rank, A-rank, S-rank, or SSS-rank talent.
After returning home.
Chen Feng realized that his sister was not home, but he saw the note that she had left on the table.
“Brother, I went to the dungeon. Don’t worry.”
Chen Feng looked at the note his sister had left behind and smiled in relief. Although he did not guide her, his sister had accepted this world quite quickly.
Before leaving, Chen Feng specifically told his sister not to go to a dangerous dungeon.
Chen Yu’s strength should not be a problem in most dungeons as long as she did not visit those with high difficulty levels.
After that, he took out the materials needed to make bows and arrows.
[Bow Tire] Millennium Thunderstruck Wood obtained from the Frenzied Tree Spirit.
[Bowstring] The nerves of the Demon Dragon that he had exchanged with the mysterious old man.
[Bow and Arrow] The branch of the Wind Whisper Ancient Tree that he had obtained from the Forest of Elves.
He looked at the three materials on the table.
Chen Feng activated the skill of his talent, the [Synthesis of All Things]. A light flashed at once.
The Millennium Thunderstruck Wood was instantly enveloped by a flame that appeared out of thin air. There seemed to be a layer of light flowing on its surface.
Chen Feng focused all his attention on controlling his talent. Not long after, the bark of the Millenium Thunderstruck Wood was burnt to ashes. The Millenium Thunderstruck Wood, which was initially pitch-black in color, revealed its golden trunk as lightning crackled around it. The two-meter long Thunderstruck Wood had now shrunk to about 180 centimeters.
The flames grew more intense. Just then, Chen Feng maneuvered the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood and slowly bent it into the shape of a bow.
Chen Feng focused his mind on controlling the temperature of the flames. Right then, the Millenium Thunderstruck Wood would be burnt to ashes if the temperature was too high.
After the flames reached a certain spiritual point, white impurities floated out of the bow tiree formed by the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood.
Chen Feng nodded slightly as he looked at the impurities floating out of the bow tire. He then continued maintaining the temperature of the flames.
More white impurities floated out in the next ten minutes.
After the continuous refinement of the bow by the flames, the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood, which had initially been 180 centimeters long, had shrunk to 150 centimeters.
The golden bow churned in the flames, and the lightning surrounding it grew thicker. It looked like a lightning bolt from afar.
A moment later, the bow was completed. Chen Feng was very satisfied with the bow that he had made with the Millenium Thunderstruck Wood.
After that, he picked up the nerves of the Demon Dragon, which shone brightly, and threw it into the raging flames.
Not long after the nerves of the Demon Dragon entered the flames, it began emitting wisps of black smoke. The smoke floated into the air and gathered together to form a Demon Dragon. The Demon Dragon let out an indignant roar at Chen Feng after it appeared.
Chen Feng frowned slightly when he saw this. He increased the intensity of the fire to temper the nerves of the Demonic Dragon. As the temperature of the flames increased, the Demon Dragon formed by the black smoke in the sky slowly dissipated as it let out a weak roar.
The nerves of the Demon Dragon let out a silvery-white glow right now. It had already condensed from the thickness of an arm into the thickness of a mouse thread. It was crystal clear and transparent.
As the bowstring formed, Chen Feng controlled the bow tire and fused it with the bowstring.
The Millennium Thunderstruck Wood and the nerves of the Demon Dragon slowly approached each other. The moment they came into contact, the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood released a dazzling flash of lightning, which wrapped around the nerves of the Demon Dragon and dragged it onto the bow.
Just as the two merged together, the system notification rang out in Chen Feng’s ear.
“[Lucky Halo] has been strengthened. Congratulations to the player for obtaining [Thunder Devil Striking Bow]!
