Chapter 1200: Chapter 47: Spies of the Great Wilderness Realm

“Investment?”

Hui Tianyu displayed a wary expression, “Your Tianji Mountain’s technology investment traps have long been infamous throughout Huai Xu. Although there are successes, nine times out of ten, they result in complete losses, and whether they succeed or fail is entirely unpredictable!”

“Well, who knows what will come out of developing new technology? Investments from all sides just support our Tianji Mountain in developing more technologies that serve all Huai Xu martial artists.”

Mu Ya said casually. He was also a true inheritor of Tianji Mountain. The relationship between the two sects was as close as sharing pants. Forcibly holding onto Hui Tianyu indeed made it hard for him to just leave, but what he said next made Hui Tianyu pause.

“This time, it’s in collaboration with that Nature Master—the host is Master Jiang Ziji. Our branch will collaborate with Bright Mirror Sect to research and produce the ‘Divine Soul Chip’, which is an advanced physical magic artifact version of An Jing’s ‘Heart Wisdom Method’!”

“With this thing, even a fool can grasp the Heart Wisdom Method and gradually become smarter, just like the past jade slips and the mass production lines of standard magic artifacts. It’s the trend of the future; the investment is absolutely a sure profit, and there’s no risk of a loss!”

Obviously, claiming the trend of the future and a guarantee of profit is what Tianji Mountain says for every technology investment project, with very few actually succeeding. But this time, Hui Tianyu was genuinely hesitant, “Are you sure An Jing really collaborated with you?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya knew the matter was settled, so he immediately patted his chest and said, “Is there any doubt? I wouldn’t dare to use the Nature Master’s name to deceive.”

Hui Tianyu hesitated for a moment, then extended his finger, “Alright, I trust you—I’ll invest this amount personally. I will also bring my master, younger disciples, and other senior and junior uncles to invest too, but I want…”

He gestured, and Mu Ya understood at once, “Of course, the commission for bringing people is this amount…”

After a brief exchange in a secret language, both left satisfied—Mu Ya needed to report back to his team on how he’s secured new investment, while Hui Tianyu headed to the nearby Nine Dragon Arena to gather new intelligence.

Neither of them noticed that not far away, a young martial artist resting on the Cloud Vortex platform suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze thoughtful.

“Nature Master… is it?”

This martial artist wore a simple gray martial robe, with a long blade hanging at his waist, which didn’t seem to be any divine weapon. However, at this time, any human martial artists walking in the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court were unquestionably elites among the young generation, at least of Divine Concealment Realm strength. Observing his long and continuous breathing and the restrained divine light in his eyes, the exposed joints in his hands were solid, indicating that he was a Body Refinement expert.

Furthermore, to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Tianzong true inheritors without them noticing also proved he had some extraordinary abilities.

Qin Feng, or rather, Yu Feng, raised his head and surveyed the boiling sea of clouds around him.

Below his feet was the boundless sea, and above his head was the boundless Great Void. In this Heavenly Sea, lay the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court, composed of countless enormous and slowly rotating cloud vortexes forming a three-dimensional city and nation. From time to time, faint dragon roars could be heard from afar.

And above the Dragon Court, far beyond in the sky at the horizon’s end, one could vaguely see an indescribably magnificent palace, quietly floating amidst the vast emptiness, radiating a grand yet deep glow.

That, was the destination of numerous martial artists this time—the venue for the Dragon Palace Banquet, one of the One Hundred and Eight Upper Gates, the Ten Continent Dragon and Snake True Spirit Ancestral Court, the [Ancestral Dragon Hall].

“Unexpectedly, outside my homeland in another world, I can still see the scenery of the Heavenly Sea Floating Continent… even more so!”

With such sentiments in his heart, Yu Feng poured himself another cup of wine, took a swig, and displayed a satisfied expression, “Huai Xu Realm, truly incredible!”

Qin Feng, or rather, Yu Feng, was not originally from this realm.

Strictly speaking, only his soul was.

His soul came from another vast Great Realm, the [Great Wilderness Heaven Sea Realm].

A few years ago, as a descendant of a branch of the Sky Yu Dynasty, Yu Feng ‘accidentally’ drowned during a water management conflict in the royal court and was eaten by countless Water Spirits. By a bizarre chance, his soul ended up transmigrating to the Huai Xu Realm, into the body of a young martial artist similar to himself.

This martial artist was a true inheritor from a Middle Gate sect, [Qingyue Sect], in the South Desolate Hong State. He died from Deviation due to rushing his cultivation to become his generation’s first true inheritor and defeat a long-time rival. When Yu Feng’s soul arrived, he employed the ‘Food Skill’ from the Great Wilderness Realm to suppress the Spiritual Fiend Qi within, recovering from the injuries.

The Food Skill is the core cultivation method of the Great Wilderness Realm. Essentially, it is a Secret Technique of devouring, merging, and refining the Yuan Qi of all things, transforming different into the same, turning all phenomena into yuan, and reducing all complexities into true oneness, just as ingesting all things into one body, or using a hundred gold entering a furnace to forge a single blade—this is a path that directly touches the roots of the Great Dao, also known as the ‘Furnace Drying Skill.’

Relying on the Furnace Drying Skill, Yu Feng used Spiritual Evil Qi as flame and his own body as a furnace, melting all Deviation-induced Yuan Qi and Spiritual Fiend, advancing upon his revival to break through the Divine Concealment Realm, thus completely mastering the new body and becoming the core true inheritor of the Qingyue Sect.

Besides, he acquired a special ability [Overlook Perspective].

Perhaps due to his outworldly soul from another world, Yu Feng could switch his perspective at any time to observe a large area centered on himself from a higher angle.

This special ability, along with the various Secret Techniques Yu Feng originally mastered from the Sky Yu Dynasty, allowed him to establish a great reputation in the South Desolate Hongzhou within just a few years, slaying many demon beasts and Demon Kings causing trouble, thus gaining recognition from his sect and an invitation from the Dragon Palace, leading him to the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court.

Initially, Yu Feng was somewhat conceited.

Not to mention his original royal lineage, the mere fusion of knowledge from two realms allowed him to cultivate from another perspective, dissect Martial Arts, and thus grasp more skills, more clearly understanding the essence of Martial Arts—this rendered him virtually unbeatable against enemies of the same tier, effortlessly dealing with evil spirits similar to the disaster-causing deities of his homeland.

——At this Dragon Palace Banquet, I am bound to stand out, reach the peak of this realm, and even find the way home to avenge the siblings who caused my death!

That’s what he initially thought.

But after truly arriving at the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court, he instinctively shrunk his head.

——Wait, why are there monsters everywhere?!

After all, as just a Middle Gate true inheritor from a rural place, and a not-so-prominent offspring of a royal lineage branch in the past, Yu Feng indeed hadn’t seen any real grand scenes and true Heaven’s Chosen.

Now, he indeed had a certain level of strength, enough to be called a Heaven’s Chosen, but he’s still a bit lacking compared to the true peaks of his generation in the world.

Not to mention, that Nature Master, seemingly above all other Heaven’s Chosen here!

Ever since learning about the Nature Master’s existence, Yu Feng has always paid keen attention to their presence and every bit of intel.

The reason is simple.

In the Great Wilderness Realm, there’s similarly a concept of ‘Heavenly Mandate.’

The Primordial Ancestor of the Nine Dragon Emperor, [Breeding Chaos], gave birth to all beings through the Primordial Great Snake.

The origin of the Five Divine Phoenixes, [Tripod of All Beings], soared to the sky through the High Dome Divine Bird.

The Eight Directions Qilin Gods all worship, [Heavenly Punishment] to illuminate the Righteous Method as the Primordial Spirit Venerable.

And… in ancient stories, [Observing All Phenomena] to complete humanity’s path, ultimately establishing the Sky Yu Dynasty’s First Human Emperor!
