Chapter 118: The Chosen One of Fortune Who Catches Rabbits While Gathering Grass

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for helping the Daughter of Destiny, Aning, exact her revenge and for leaving behind a cultivation method that granted her the right to choose her own path in life. You have gained 100,000 destiny points, but a tenfold critical hit was triggered, awarding you 1,000,000 destiny points, along with the following rewards.]

[Reward 1: One Pill of Eight Treasures Glazed Elixir, a pill of Immortal Emperor level.]
[Reward 2: One True Dragon Elixir, a peerless immortal medicine.]

That was all.

Three alerts sounded in succession.

No more rewards, and the destiny points gained were only a million. It made sense, after all—the Daughter of Destiny still had ranks.

At least it was something to gain.

As for Aning, what happened to her afterward no longer concerned him.

Leaving Cloud City behind.

Jiang Yan suddenly said, “You actually still have a shred of humanity left.”

“I thought those who cultivate the Path of Self alone only care about themselves.”

The Path of Self.

A doctrine where everything revolves around oneself, supreme and solitary—it was, in essence, the Path of Ruthlessness.

Yet it differed from the Path of Ruthlessness.

The Path of Ruthlessness was truly heartless and merciless, but the Path of Self only cared about what benefited oneself.

Chu Feng shrugged. “Do I? I don’t see it that way.”

Come to think of it, the rewards this time were quite good.

But only after Chu Feng accepted the rewards did he realize that the so-called peerless immortal medicine was actually an Immortal Emperor-level treasure pill. However, the label “immortal medicine” carried a huge advantage.

It could extend the lifespan of an Immortal Emperor for another lifetime.

Generally, Immortal Emperors lived between thirty thousand and fifty thousand years.

But once the essence of the peerless immortal medicine was refined and absorbed, it could grant them several more tens of thousands of years.

Such a pill, once appeared, was fought over fiercely even by Immortal Emperors themselves.

As for the Eight Treasures Glazed Elixir, it was also an Immortal Emperor-level pill that could forge the body with the power of glazed jade, at minimum transforming one into a divine body.

For Chu Feng, however, it was of little use.

[Ding ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the Child of Destiny, Ma Rulong, awarding 200,000 destiny points. Because this Ma Rulong was killed incidentally while the host was pursuing another, no destiny critical hit was triggered.]

[But you receive the following rewards: Reward 1, Immortal Emperor secret technique—True Dragon Treasure Art.]

[Reward 2, a pair of Double Pupils.]

Who says there’s nothing good?

Though Chu Feng had previously gained some immortal-level skills and treasures, the greatest help to himself at this stage was the Double Pupils.

Those with Double Pupils were said to bear the visage of a sage.

Not necessarily true sages, but possessing potential comparable to one.

Their aptitude was hardly any less than those with divine bodies.

Chu Feng already had a divine body and a saint-level bloodline; adding Double Pupils elevated his potential tremendously.

Moreover, unlike the divine body which was not fully awakened, the Double Pupils, combined with the Infinite Divine Eye, could increase the latter’s power by nearly a hundredfold.

As for Ma Rulong—who was he? Chu Feng truly had no idea.

It was unexpected that such a small place as Cloud City would have more than one Child of Destiny.

Judging from the rewards, unless he knew otherwise, Ma Rulong was likely of the lowest rank among the Children of Destiny.

He might even be connected to Aning.

Chu Feng and Jiang Yan had planned to reside in Cloud City, but by now it had become a dead city; they could only rest for a day in the outskirts.

A wild battle.

Chu Feng was experiencing this for the first time.

Feeling Chu Feng’s strange gaze upon her, Jiang Yan’s heart suddenly filled with a bad premonition. Fixing her eyes on him, she said, “You really dare to do this here. I, Jiang Yan, will never spare you.”

Chu Feng smiled ever more recklessly.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?”

“Jiang Yan, you are merely a beauty I have yet to tame, hardly my woman. Why should I listen to you?”

“Besides, haven’t you never played the wilderness survival game before?”

“Moreover, I’ve discovered that deep within your heart dwells a demon, imprisoned by you all along. I’m merely setting it free now.”

“Maybe one day you’ll thank me for it.”

“The sky’s getting late. My beauty, shall we rest?”

Jiang Yan’s previously hesitant expression suddenly turned fierce. She glared at Chu Feng and said, “You forced me into this.”

“In that case, then die!”

In an instant, Jiang Yan unleashed a dark, orb-shaped object from her hand, hurtling toward Chu Feng. His face immediately changed; a dangerous aura surged to his heart.

It actually posed a threat to him.

He was someone who had cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Art.

At the moment he dodged, the dark orb missed its mark but did not dissipate. Instead, it spun around as if fitted with a tracker and lunged at him again.

Chu Feng furrowed his brows.

He originally planned to shatter the orb with a sword strike, but he had a feeling that if he struck it, the orb might explode, and even he would be severely wounded.

As Chu Feng was entangled by the orb, Jiang Yan suddenly turned and dashed into the darkness.

Chu Feng’s expression changed instantly. He shouted, “Are you trying to get yourself killed? Your cultivation is sealed, and this is the wilderness. You won’t even know how you died!”

Especially seeing her vanish into the darkness in a blink.

At that moment, Chu Feng could no longer bother with the orb and unleashed a golden dragon with a palm strike.

The golden dragon shot out, instantly entangling the dark orb.

With a loud boom, the orb exploded.

Just as he had suspected.

Chu Feng gave a wry smile and immediately performed the Flying Rainbow Technique, vanishing from the spot.

The Flying Rainbow Technique could cover three hundred thousand kilometers in an instant. Of course, Chu Feng was not yet at that speed, but crossing ten thousand miles in a flash was easy.

Though he dodged swiftly, he was still affected by the blast’s aftershock.

Fortunately, due to his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, he only felt a surge of blood energy without injury.

Yet Chu Feng could not rejoice for long.

By all rights, at his speed, he should have appeared right in front of Jiang Yan using the Flying Rainbow Technique.

But upon pursuit, he found no trace of her.

He swept his divine sense and discovered a barrier ahead.

Moreover, a counterforce rebounded his divine sense, pushing it away.

Unexpected occurrences in the wilderness.

This place should be near the Yunmeng Marsh.

No—this was already the Yunmeng Marsh.

Yunmeng Marsh was the second most treacherous place in Sword Prefecture, after the Qin Mountains. It was shrouded by miasma year-round, filled with deadly poison.

Even cultivators of the Nascent Soul and Fusion stages could be poisoned and suffer damage to their primordial spirits upon entering.

The marsh teemed with venomous insects and ferocious beasts, an extremely perilous area.

Additionally, the entire Yunmeng Marsh possessed a strange force field. Anyone entering felt as if an invisible hand pressed them firmly to the ground, unable to take flight.
