The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 618: Universally Popular Story

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Chu Feng laid there while his life force hibernated in his body and his body became icy cold. He found himself in a type of feigned death status and watched with a detached view.

Then he saw the group of people participate in all manners of torment. Things such as the film equipment were all in position, and they called for the lead actress to come over and shoot a touching scene with this “dead person.”

Although Chu Feng’s eyes were closed, he could still stretch out a bit of consciousness to perceive the people around him. He realized that the lead actress was, quite surprisingly, someone familiar—Xia Qianyu.

She was so familiar that he almost sat up. The scene from the first time she had gone on a date with a match-making partner was still fresh in people’s memories. She had taken Jiang Luoshen with her on the date, and in the end, the three of them ended up making headlines.

That big-eyed, pure, and beautiful girl had unexpectedly become the lead actress of The Great Sage Returns. The affairs of the world truly were bizarre. How could anyone have imagined this?

However, she was indeed an actress. Back when he was going on blind dates, Chu Feng also said he was the lead actor of some movie, and she was in all kinds of disbelief. She and Jiang Luoshen both thought he was a swindler, so they complained and looked down on him.

Of Course, later on, Demon Ox the Great Sage made it to theaters, and afterward, people from all over as well as all her acquaintances were stunned by Xia Qianyu.

He hadn’t seen her for a long time. She looked just as youthful as she did back then. Her large eyes were clear and pure, and she still seemed just as much of a classic student as she did back when she had just graduated and began dating.

“Alright. Yes, just like that. Passionately hold his corpse and keep faith that he’ll wake up.” The director Zhou Yitian was giving instructions.

Xia Qianyu protested in a low voice. Hadn’t it been discussed earlier that she wouldn’t involve herself in hugs or anything while abroad?

Zhou Yitian cried out in grievance and said, “Ugh, great miss, please just do it once for the sake of art! This is the most moving part of the whole movie and absolutely cannot be abandoned! Besides, he’s just a dead man. Just treat this so-called touching of bodies like you’re touching a stone or a table.”

“Dead man!?” Xia Qianyu was instantly frightened.

“Don’t worry, the body has already been tested by the doctors and disinfected. He hasn’t been dead for long, so there’s no problem at all. What century are we living in anyway? We can see aliens and mutants everywhere. It’s just one dead person. If this were an alien beast race, in a moment, I’d simply have to barbeque and eat him,” stated Zhou Yitian boldly.

Then the emotional scene started. Xia Qianyu hugged Chu Feng and her face was covered in tear stains. She let out all kinds of emotional cries and even touched his face.

This was Chu Feng bathing in his blood. Otherwise, she would recognize him for sure; after all, they had previously been set up on a blind date that left a deep impression.

A,t first Chu Feng was completely unperturbed. He was in a beautiful woman’s embrace anyway, so why not play dead? However, later on, he felt the tears that occasionally fell on his face a bit unbearable.

Chu Feng looked at Xia Qianyu, who was holding him and pressing his head to her ear. Then he immediately blew a breath of air.

“Ah...”

Xia Qianyu felt her earlobe was being tickled and let out a startled shriek right then and there. She then threw Chu Feng onto the desert ground before turning and running away. Her movements were vigorous, quick, and nimble.

After all, now she was also a mutant now.

“What is it!?” Zhou Yitian and his cast and crew were all startled and jumped in fear along with her.

“He’s alive, he... he bit my ear!” Xia Qianyu’s towering bosom was moving up and down fiercely, and her beautiful face had lost all color. She had been really frightened just now; a dead man had unexpectedly reacted! The feeling of his hot breath hitting her fair earlobe was too horrifying.

“That’s impossible. We all examined him and found him to be thoroughly dead. Looks like he was a loser who escaped the battle of Kunlun. His life force is completely exhausted.” The team’s doctor, who didn’t believe it and was quite courageous, personally ran over and checked again and again only to find this was indeed a dead man.

Zhou Yitian waved a hand and said, “Alright, this scene’s done. Tonight, we’ll go to Mount Longhu!”

“Director, this is too rushed. We can’t endure making the journey through the night,” someone complained.

Zhou Yitian sighed and said, “There’s nothing that can be done. Lately, Mount Longhu hasn’t been peaceful. I heard some aliens are occupying the area, but currently, they’re still allowing everyone to approach. I’m worried that if we wait a bit longer, it’ll turn into a sketchy area that we won’t be able to film near.

“This kind is just unbridled. Back when Chu Feng was here, he beat the temper out of them. He sold piles of divine sons and saintesses, but now...”

“Shh! Keep your voice down. Now, the outer-realm evolvers are on a rampage, and more likely than not, they’re flying over this area. There haven’t been any massacres, so our Earth isn’t that bad. We should be content with our situation. Oh, but it is a bit of a pity. I don’t know how the greater demons and Chu Feng’s parents are doing over at Mount Longhu. I wonder if someone blocked them over there.”

The depths of Chu Feng’s eyes instantly chilled when he heard these words, and he felt a type of murderous intent filling him.

“Why dies it feel a bit cold here?” The crew members off in the distance quivered and shivered. Chu Feng hurriedly restrained that violent feeling in his heart.

Zhou Yitian said, “Let’s set off. Oh right, don’t forget to bring that corpse. Don’t put any makeup on him or dress him up. We can still use him once we get to Mount Longhu!”

“Director, don’t be like this. Bringing a corpse on the road is too ominous!” Some people were feeling apprehensive.

Zhou Yitian had to persuade them in order to save filming costs. He said, “Just what times are we living in for you to be talking about auspiciousness? There are evil monsters filling the streets, and there are angels and black dragons flying in the sky. Not only have all manner of mythical creatures came into reality, some are even being served on the dinner table. Of course, you must have a strength like that of Chu Feng in order to be able to eat them. In these days, we’ve seen all there is to see, so what do you have to be afraid of?”

On the other side, Xia Qianyu still didn’t know that the corpse would come with them. She was preparing to communicate with someone off in the distance saying, “Luoshen, I’m telling you, this blockbuster you introduced me to is... haunted. I was scared to death just now! Tomorrow you need to quickly bring that greatly evolved divine monk to Mount Longhu and help purify me. I’m still scared now. Yes, just invite Master Qianjia to come and save me. Right, don’t you also need to make a cameo appearance in this movie? Hurry to Mount Longhu tomorrow!”

Not long afterward, a flying machine that looked like both an airship and a warship directly flew over from the desert. Following the unceasing descent of outer-realm creatures and the unearthing of all kinds of historical remains, some cutting edge technologies had fallen into the natives’ hands. Now, all sorts of airships and other machines were being manufactured in bulk.

Of course, they were still far from being able to initiate spatial transitions and enter the cosmos. The ruins this kind of technology were found in were too high-end, and the outer-realm descenders would not allow it to fall into the Earthlings’ hands.

As they made the overnight journey to Mount Longhu, Chu Feng was sitting in the storage bin conducting self-cultivation. His breathing technique and the Six Path Reincarnation pill were displaying great usefulness.

Every bone in his body was broken, yet this was no problem at all since they would all be regrown. Additionally, his flesh would become increasingly sparkling and translucent after the baptism of lightning tribulation. Finally, his spirit would also carry the strong yang aura. His constitution would become all the more stronger.

Chu Feng had thoroughly recovered when they reached Mount Longhu, and he felt much stronger than before. He had improved himself in purgatory for more than a month, and with the help of the Heavenly Calamity baptism, his body’s basic essence had increased significantly!

He dozed off and was taken out of the storage bin. Once those people went to rest and left the area, he finally got up and surveyed Mount Longhu from an elevated position. He was back again after more than a month!

It was almost dawn now, and the sun was almost up.

Yao Yao had previously said that outer-realm beings were not allowed to set foot on Mount Longhu, but now it seemed some people had crossed that line and occupied the area.

He could clearly feel the demonic aura surging on the mountain. There were banners whistling in the wind indicating that experts were overseeing the area.

“Yao Yao isn’t here anymore. She traveled far away from the broken universe in the primal chaos, then I was killed and buried in purgatory, so these aliens could come come here without worry. They burst in here just like that.”

Chu Feng took some black magnets out from a spatial chain bracelet. He then emptied a piece of bronze into the recess and began smelting it to make a miniature domain.

He then took the bronze, refined it into a mask, and wore it on his face.

“There’s a technique that can change the landscape’s topography within this domain, and it can also be used on the human body. It can change the bones and flesh as well as one’s appearance. However, it’s not time yet, so for now, I’ll use a mask.”

However, Chu Feng could slightly control the height and weight. A present, he truly could not expose himself.

He entered the mountains just like this, then he saw a lesser demon in the mountains and pulled it over with one grasp. He held this bird-headed humanoid Demon race creature and said in a low voice, “You’ll answer whatever I ask if you want to live!”

A group of extraterrestrial experts had clearly taken this place to be a stronghold seeing as it had quite a “king of the hill” advantage. This lesser demon was completely drunk; they were quite wanton here in the mountains.

At this time, it was scared sober and exposed a look of fear.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng didn’t get the answers he wanted to know. This lesser demon had come later and didn’t understand the area’s situation.

It only knew that its family’s master, the Night Demon, was responsible for standing guard here, and its magic power was boundless. It had been the area’s master ever since Mount Longhu changed ownership.

“My family’s master is ranked number ninety-eight among the universe’s young experts!” It said this proudly despite its fear.

This ranking looked much lower than Qin Luoyin’s, but reality wasn’t so simple. The universe was so vast and there were so many planets that sustained life, so one must certainly be the best among all their galaxy’s life sustaining planets in order to rank in the top one hundred. Their talents and power must be exceptionally terrifying and outstanding!

In fact, some people thought that as long as someone was ranked in the top one hundred young experts in the universe, their potential was endless. Even if they were presently lagging behind, being ranked in the top ninety didn’t count for anything.

This was because they might reach the top later on and illuminate the heavens, and when the time comes, things could get out of hand. Their potential was boundless, and they would become the universe’s future overlords!

There were many such cases. Even the universe’s top ten young talents may someday be subverted, which would result in the rankings being thoroughly changed.

“My family’s master’s sworn brothers are even fiercer, each even stronger than the next! There are world-startling characters ranked in the top dozen or so, and what’s more, they have the Innocuous Divine Physique and are known to be without rival!”

The lesser demon spoke with pride and reverence. One would think it was his brother who was so heaven-defying.

Chu Feng’s heart stirred. The Innocuous Divine Physique? He remembered the Earth’s True One Zhou Shang’s constitution was like this. It was the Innocuous Divine Physique of legend, which was said to be without equal!

He couldn’t get many answers, so Chu Feng slapped it dizzy and ruthlessly erased a portion of its memories to avoid any mishaps.

Afterward, he asked another lesser demon. In the end, this lion-headed humanoid evolver whose breath smelled of alcohol said, “Chu Feng’s parents? I don’t know. They’re nothing, so I don’t know their situation. Even Chu Feng was completely killed! Any among them who would dare make waves would be killed immediately!”

Chu Feng kicked him unconscious and erased his memories before throwing him into a nearby temporary latrine.

“This group of Demon race evolvers sure have disappointing habits. They have the nerve to put a latrine pit on the curb! How careless.”

Chu Feng entered the mountains and questioned a few people in succession via torture, yet in the end, he didn’t obtain any of the information he was after.

“Chu Feng’s nothing! He was killed, so what’s the use of mentioning his family? They’re just a group of failures.” This was the most information Chu Feng got from these drunkards when he interrogated them. These lesser demons were very arrogant and brash.

Chu Feng lightly sighed. He had only “fallen” for a bit more than a month, yet he had the feeling that people had changed while things stayed the same. The group of extraterrestrial lesser demons didn’t care about him anymore and had forgotten that he had sold divine sons and saintesses.

Then he immediately let out a low roar. Vast and mighty purple clouds surged dozens of kilometers away and directly entered the mountains. He was preparing to find the master!

He dared to occupy his territory. The so-called Night Demon would absolutely have to face the consequences.

“Quickly director, come look! Something’s happening at Mount Longhu. Does this count as natural material?” One of the crew members outside the mountains had woken up and was calling for Zhou Yitian.

“... Sh*t!” Zhou Tianyi immediately cried out after waking up, “The purple clouds are coming from the east, but I’m exiting the valley from the west. Oh no, I’m not dreaming, am I? There’s really someone riding an ox to Mount Longhu, and he’s... carrying the diamond chakram!?”

Naturally, what he had just seen was what Chu Feng had visualized.

Chu Feng had visualized a green ox and was riding on it. Purple clouds surged from above its head for dozens of kilometers. He had also visualized a special diamond chakram and was wearing it on his wrist. He tread through and crossed the heavens on his way to suppress Mount Longhu’s group of outer-realm evolvers.

Zhou Yitian was shocked as he said, “Something big’s definitely going to happen this time. Shoot it for me! I have a premonition that this The Great Sage Returns film is going to be popular all throughout the universe!

“Director, aren’t you being too self-confident?” A nearby person’s mouth twitched and they thought the director was talking in his sleep.

Zhou Yitian made a solemn vow and said, “You don’t understand anything. Right now, the outer-realm’s Heaven’s Eye is monitoring Kunlun. They simply haven’t captured the situation in this area, and only we can document it. Just in case a world-startling war breaks out, all parties will certainly want to buy copyrights from us. Our film will naturally become the most popular in the heavens!”

The surrounding people were on the verge of tears. The director was completely courting death. If people wanted it, they wouldn’t ask for it, but rather directly steal the filming equipment.

“Don’t worry, I know all about it. The people on the outer-realm’s Origin Beast Platform have contacted me. If we unexpectedly shoot some extraordinary materials, we can sell it to them, and they’ll provide shelter for us.” Zhou Yitian patted his chest as he made this guarantee.

“Demons and ghosts, get your asses out here for me!” Chu Feng rode a glowing big, green ox and crossed the sky into Mount Longhu.
