(Totally free.) The precipice is steep and high, straight into the clouds, stretching out in front of you, the ink-black cliff face, not a blade of grass grows, an atmosphere of solemnity with a murderous intent that pierces the heart.
Three people got off the crane and walked towards the cliff on foot. Ye Feng had a kind of intuition that there must be something on this cliff that attracted him to come, it was so strong.
The closer they got to the cliff, the stronger the oppressive feeling became, making it hard for the three of them to breathe. Every step forward was a struggle, as they had to work hard to circulate their internal energy to counteract the pressure, which made things slightly more bearable for them.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain cliff, the three were already panting heavily. This was a rare situation, although the three weren't exactly top-notch cultivators, they had all reached the Refining Qi stage and their control over spiritual energy was no longer as laborious as it was during the Gathering Qi stage. If it were cultivators from the Gathering Qi stage, they definitely wouldn't have made it here.
Ye Feng took out three Qi Gathering Symbols and placed them on each of the three people, instantly restoring their depleted spiritual energy.
The two women once again focused their attention on Ye Feng's storage bag, especially Mei Zhi Ruo, who was very curious about what other treasures were hidden inside Ye Feng's storage bag, which seemed to be endless.
With their spirits restored, the three continued forward, bearing the endless pressure. The three gritted their teeth until Ye Feng used the Gathering Qi Symbol three times, and only then did they arrive at the foot of the precipice.
Confronting the precipice, the shock it gives is extremely strong. The dark and smooth precipice seems to have been cut open by someone with a single sword slash.
On the halfway up the precipice, dozens of texts with unknown meanings were carved, like symbols, curved and winding, also resembling oracle bones in Yefeng's impression.
Three people don't recognize this writing, it's not a commonly used script on this continent.
Three people looked up and wanted to understand the meaning behind it, but somehow they couldn't make sense of it.
Ye Feng was really unwilling to give up, this strange and ancient precipice, the texts recorded on it were also unreadable.
Adjusting the angle and observing from various positions, Ye Feng hopes to find a clue.
Suddenly, he found that these characters were closer to symbols or pictograms. Ye Feng had learned in language class that some Chinese characters belonged to pictograms, which had evolved over countless generations to form the modern Chinese characters of today.
The text on the cliff is probably a pictograph, Ye Feng carefully compared each character with various shapes and found that it was indeed so. After figuring this out, Ye Feng discovered that the text above was actually a series of human body movements, sometimes sitting in meditation, sometimes clenching fists to strike, and sometimes taking steps forward, with all sorts of postures.
They told their thoughts to Mei Zhi Ruo and Zhen Xue Tian, the two women looked at Jue Bi in surprise, they looked for a long time, no matter how hard they tried to imagine, but they couldn't understand what Ye Feng meant.
Ye Feng pointed at each word and explained it to Er Nu, but she still couldn't understand.
Helpless, Ye Feng had no choice but to give up and let the two of them comprehend on their own, while he himself focused all his attention on the Absolute Wall.
Ye Feng discovered that this was actually a type of gongfa, but this gongfa was not continuous, it was only part of it, and he didn't know why some parts were missing.
But this was enough to shock Ye Feng, his eyes fixed on the precipice, remembering all the words above firmly in his mind, and then his body transformed into one of the movements.
"Ah!" Ye Feng took a step and suddenly appeared beside Zhen Xuetian, startling her as she was intently reading the text.
"Older brother, what are you doing? You scared me to death."
Zhen Xue Tian's dissatisfied voice attracted Mei Zhi Ruo's attention.
Only Ye Feng suddenly lifted his leg and appeared in front of Mei Zhi Ruo, the suddenness couldn't be more sudden, startling even the prepared Mei Zhi Ruo.
Ye Feng had such a cultivation at some point, as if his body was no longer restricted by time and distance, and he could appear wherever he wanted.
"What is this technique." Mei Zhi Ruo said, and then regretted it. Even if the two were very familiar and came to the Great Plains together, there were some things that couldn't be inquired about casually, especially techniques, which was a cultivator's most closely guarded secret.
"This is the method recorded on the precipice, just one of them." Ye Feng said to the two women, not minding Browning's suddenness at all.
"What's this? It's so powerful! I want to learn it too." Zhen Xuetian was delighted and grabbed Ye Feng's arm, asking him to teach her.
"How to say, it's not that your brother is hiding secrets and refusing to teach you, but this skill is very mysterious, it belongs to the kind that can only be understood through intuition and cannot be passed on verbally. It can only be learned by watching the words on the cliff wall and understanding it yourself. I have no way of teaching you two." Ye Feng also felt helpless, this was his personal experience, he could only learn the skills above, but had no way of passing it on to others, and even if he said it out loud, he didn't know if Xue Tian would believe him or not.
"I believe you." Zhen Xuetian nodded, and as for Ye Feng's words, Zhen Xuetian absolutely trusted him without a doubt.
Zhen Xue Tian's trust moved Ye Feng greatly, and he said to the two of them: "You also carefully observe the text on the precipice wall, perhaps you will gain something from it too."
The three people focused their eyes on the precipice again, and suddenly the black light on the precipice surged greatly. Those words seemed to have come back to life, twisting and turning into a golden light, detaching from the precipice, piercing through the clouds, and disappearing instantly.
The bizarre scene left the three of them staring in amazement.
After a long time, the precipice became a mirror-like surface with a black glow, without any external objects.
Mei Zhi Ruo and Zhen Xue Tian exchanged a glance, then looked at Ye Feng.
"Brother is really lucky, what's recorded on this cliff must be some kind of legacy. Now that Brother has obtained it, the text will disappear."
"Congratulations, Ye Feng." Mei Zhi Ruo was also genuinely happy for Ye Feng.
Everyone wants to get the legendary inheritance, but that depends on their luck and fortune, or it can be said that the legendary inheritance accepts you or not. Jealousy and admiration are meaningless.
As the words on the precipice flew away, the overwhelming pressure that had previously existed also disappeared, and there was no longer any difference between anywhere under the precipice and the vast plain.
Feeling that there was no more value in this place, the three of them advanced further into the Great Plains.
It can no longer be called a vast plain to continue forward, the former thousand-mile vast plain disappeared thoroughly here, replaced by peaks and mountains.
Traces of ancient times can be seen everywhere.
Zhen Xue Tian picked up a rusty and mottled bronze sword from the ground, only three inches long, although it looked like it was about to be destroyed, it still emitted a terrifying aura.
Of course it's a good baby, Zhen Xuetian happily played with it and refused to put it in the storage bag.
Before she had even finished her excitement, Mei Zhi Ruo on the other side picked up a silk handkerchief. The handkerchief was full of ancient aura and embroidered with flying birds that only existed in ancient times. It was unknown what material it was made of, but it had been preserved until now without being damaged.
"Don't be too pleased, you two hurry up and put them away, who knows what other treasures are ahead, it's a pity to miss them." Ye Feng reminded the two, while also feeling happy for them.
The two of them now obey Ye Feng's words and quickly put the treasure into their storage bag, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
The ground occasionally reveals some broken copper fragments, which should be part of a device judging from the overall appearance, but they are all damaged. Zhen Xuetian and Mei Zhuruo are not interested in these fragments, while Ye Feng is like a country bumpkin, as long as he sees something that has not yet turned to dust, no matter what it is, he puts everything into his storage bag. In his words, since they are things from ancient times, as long as they can be preserved until now, they are all good things, and it would be a waste if they were not taken. Anyway, there is enough space in the storage bag, so why not take them?
Three people would occasionally gain something, and the three happy people exclaimed that this was not an adventure at all, but rather a treasure hunt.
A large number of items appeared, making the three people even more expectant of the deepest part. It is said that this is where the center of the ruins lies, and it's estimated that there will be unexpected treasures at the center of the ruins.
While searching for treasure, we move forward, isn't it delightful?
"Huh!" A flash of light flickered at the corner of his eye, and Ye Feng was just about to bend down to pick up a small tripod that had been damaged beyond recognition when he suddenly discovered a beam of light flying towards the three of them.
It's too late to hide, and it's also too late to remind the two women. The two women are so focused on searching for treasure with their heads down that they have forgotten this is a perilous ancient ruin.
"Whoosh!" With swift and nimble hands, Ye Feng simultaneously deployed the three turtle shell talismans stuck to his sleeve, casting a protective shield on each of their bodies.
A burst of light struck the outer bodies of the three people, producing a strong impact with their protective gear and sending them flying.
Completely unguarded, although the turtle shell symbol played a protective role, the spiritual energy within the three people had not been mobilized at all, and the impact also caused some injury to the three.
Three people fell to the ground at the same time. Zhen Xuetian's fiery temper suddenly flared up, and she was about to get up to see what had attacked the three of them.
Ye Feng quickly made a gesture to Zhen Xue Tian, indicating that she should honestly fall to the ground and pretend to be seriously injured. Zhen Xue Tian and Mei Zhieruo were both clever and saw Ye Feng's hint, so they didn't move at all.
"Haha, three fools, busy picking up things, their lives are gone, what's the use of those things?" A sinister laugh appeared, followed by footsteps.
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the newcomer.
Four people in a row, roughly the same age as them, and judging from their aura, they are all at the Refining Qi stage.
It seems that these four people ambushed their own three people.
"It's already the fifth wave, and Master Brother's plan is indeed brilliant. We don't need to go searching for treasures, just waiting here will have people delivering them right to our doorstep." Another voice flattered.
"It's just that, they deserved to die as three fools, and didn't even think about why treasures were everywhere in the end."
Ye Feng and the other two understood, no wonder there were several treasures under their feet earlier. It turned out to be a trap set by these four people, who had been ambushing them. Earlier, it was indeed the three of them searching for treasure, but in the end, they fell into someone else's trap.
"Master, these two little girls don't look bad at all. Let's not kill them just yet, let's have some fun with them first, how about it?" A burst of sinister laughter followed.
"Good idea, let's break the ice today." The big senior brother, who was not a good thing either, came to Zhen Xuetian's face and reached out to touch his face.
"Go to hell!" Zhen Xuetian, who had been pretending to be unconscious with her eyes tightly closed, suddenly exerted force and struck the master's wrist with a broken bronze piece she had been gripping in her hand.
"Crack!" A loud cracking sound of bones breaking and muscles tearing.
"Ah!" The senior brother let out a pained cry, clutching his injured hand as he was about to retreat backwards.
But Ye Feng couldn't tolerate him retreating alive, he had already adjusted his body, seeing Zhen Xuetian succeed with one move, both feet stomped on the ground, his body soared into the air, holding a bronze tripod in his hand, smashing towards that senior brother's head.
"Crack!" The big senior brother, while retreating, did not expect Ye Feng to make this move. In a desperate attempt to dodge, he tilted his head, and the bronze cauldron smashed into his shoulder, causing the entire shoulder to be battered bloody and bruised, exposing white bone fragments. This arm was completely destroyed.
Living up to being a Qi Refining stage cultivator, despite suffering such severe injuries, Eldest Senior Brother hadn't fainted and fallen over, but instead rapidly retreated back, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the other three Junior Brothers.
Mei Zhi Ruo and Zhen Xue Tian also stood up from the ground, shoulder to shoulder with Ye Feng, looking at the four people opposite them.
"Who dares to launch a sneak attack on our senior brother?" The four people opposite them retorted, instead saying that Ye Feng and his two companions had launched a sneak attack on them.
Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head, you're really shameless, it was clearly your side that launched a sneak attack on us.
"What kind of people are you?" Ye Feng retorted.
"Speak out and scare you to death, hurry up and surrender, lest you suffer physical torture." a guy threatened.
"We are the disciples of the Nine States' Honored Ones. If you abandon resistance, we might consider leaving your corpses intact; if you dare to resist, we'll make sure you're torn into a million pieces." One of them reported their names.
Ye Feng shook his head, indicating he didn't know what this so-called "Jiuzhou Zun" was.
But Mei Zhi Ruo heard the name "Jiuzhou Zun" and it was completely different. Ye Feng had just entered Wang Hai Pai for a few days, and didn't know much about some of the famous seniors in the Xiu Zhen realm, which was understandable. But Mei Zhi Ruo had been in Wang Hai Pai for over a year, and she had some understanding of the famous seniors in the Xiu Zhen realm.
This title of Nine States' Overlord is too big, to what extent, the Nine States' Overlord, as the name suggests, can be called Nine States, even if others are in the Nine States, they can count.
Wang Hai Sect is located within Liang Country and together with Qian Kun Sect, they are known as the two major cultivation powers of Liang Country.
Liáng Guó was merely a small and inconspicuous country in the middle of Zhōng Zhuàng.
Zhongzhou is also one of the nine states, can imagine that in the nine states have a reputation for repair, what level.
Not to mention Ye Feng, even the entire Wang Hai Sect is not worthy of their attention.
