Chapter 1024 Scroll

Translator: podao001

“Senior, what do you think about this?” Chen Feng sent Bi Qing a secret vocal transmission.

“There is something strange here. There must surely be some problems here. Be careful.”

“Could there be other experts lurking around here?”

“Eh, what happened?” Chen Feng suddenly exclaimed aloud. There was only a distance of 500 kilometres between him and Bi Qing. In the beginning, the two of them had been able to exchange secret vocal transmissions. All of a sudden, though, the connection was severed. Chen Feng’s soul power surged and he sensed a mysterious power enveloping the surrounding group of asteroids.

Sou!

Chen Feng’s figure darted forward, moving across the asteroids to quickly arrive before Bi Qing.

“What happened?”

“A problem has popped up. This power is very strong, capable of even blocking secret vocal transmissions. Could a True Immortal be lurking around?”

“Best be careful. It may not necessarily be a cultivator. It could be due to some object.”

“We’ll have to wait for Huo Yunlong to finish his tribulation first.”

After that, Chen Feng returned to his previous position and waited quietly for Huo Yunlong’s tribulation to end. Throughout the whole process, nothing else of note happened. Even so, there was a faint sense of unease within Chen Feng’s heart. He had attempted several times to figure out where this power was coming from only to fail.

Naturally, Huo Yunlong was unaware that Chen Feng and Bi Qing had noticed something alarming. He was completely focused on his tribulation. After overcoming his tribulation, he then stayed on an asteroid, where he began a cultivation session. Chen Feng and Bi Qing exchanged glances. The puzzled feelings within them had only grown.

Back then, they had lost the ability to send each other secret vocal transmissions. But now, they noticed that there was also a mysterious power fluctuating about, affecting their divine senses and vision.

Sou! Sou!

Chen Feng and Bi Qing moved at the same time to re-appear beside Huo Yunlong.

“What’s up with you two?” After Huo Yunlong concluded his cultivation session, he saw Chen Feng and Bi Qing warily keeping watch over his surroundings.

“There is something amiss here,” Chen Feng said. He was feeling terribly puzzled. Although he was able to sense a mysterious power rising up around him, he could not tell where this power was coming from. Additionally, despite performing an analysis of the power, neither Chen Feng nor Bi Qing could come up with anything useful.

“This power feels familiar.” To their surprise, Huo Yunlong said that.

“Eh, you know this power?” said a shocked Chen Feng.

“It just feels somewhat familiar to me. However, I have never encountered this power before. How strange, how strange!” Huo Yunlong sent his divine sense out and sensed about for a moment. Likewise, he also felt puzzled.

Bi Qing then reached out with his hand and grasped, causing the space before him to move, becoming a massive, funnelling vortex. It did not take long before a drop of spherical, crystal-clear water was condensed out onto Bi Qing’s palm.

“Look what’s this.” Bi Qing flicked his fingers and the water droplet flew into Chen Feng’s hand.

“So heavy! It weighs hundreds of thousands of kilogrammes!” Chen Feng was somewhat shocked to realize that.

“Could this be?” Inspecting it for a moment, a greater look of surprise appeared on Chen Feng’s face.

“Core Profound Watersource! This is Core Profound Watersource!” Huo Yunlong suddenly became excited.

“Core Profound Watersource.” Chen Feng nodded, a look of understanding flashing across his eyes. As someone from Flame World, Huo Yunlong cultivated pure power of fire. Fire countered water and vice versa. Thus, it was no wonder that Huo Yunlong would be more sensitive towards it.

“This is a good item. Not even the average Primary Water of Extreme Yin would be a match for it,” Chen Feng said, reaching out with his hand to perform a grasping move as well. This move from Chen Feng was 10 times greater compared to Bi Qing’s earlier move. A black hole appeared on Chen Feng’s palm to furiously devour the surrounding streams of energy and it did not take long before a ball of water appeared on his palm.

The water ball spun slowly, shining with a riot of colours. It was like a multi-coloured crystal that could entrance any who gaze upon it.

“Let me see just how many types of power are there here.” Chen Feng’s divine sense became like a needle and it pierced its way into the water ball.

“Eh?”

The moment Chen Feng’s divine sense entered, it instantly loosened. Surprisingly, Chen Feng was unable to keep it condensed. At that moment in time, the strength of Chen Feng’s divine sense had far surpassed that of some Ascendant Immortal and his soul flame had reached the vital flame realm. Condensing his divine sense into tangible form and cutting steel with it was a piece of cake for him. And yet, the various powers within the water ball had actually managed to disperse his divine sense.

At the very least, it is comparable to the might of a True Immortal. Could it be a Divine artifact? It doesn’t feel like it. Chen Feng felt puzzled.

Bang!

The water ball in his hand abruptly blew up, transforming into strands of water vapour before all of them were sucked into Chen Feng.

“Core Profound Watersource, Absolute Water Essence, Water Essence of the Five Elements, Metal Water of the Five Elements. Even Extreme Profound Yin Water and Rootless Fledgling Water. How can there be so many powers of water here? Looks like the number of goodies here is quite high.” Chen Feng then leapt up and punched out. His fist blast shot out and an asteroid – shining with a metallic lustre – that was located 500 kilometres away from him exploded. The asteroid had a diameter of at least 50 kilometres, formed from tough metal ores. It was incomparably tough. And yet, this fist blast from Chen Feng managed to shatter it into pieces.

As the asteroid exploded, Chen Feng pulled and a rivulet of water flowed forward from space to arrive before Chen Feng.

The rivulet of water shone with a metallic lustre, like a stream of melted metal.

“Metal Water of the Five Elements! And a high-grade one at that!” Huo Yunlong cried out in shock.

“A good item.” Bi Qing nodded his head as well.

Metal Water of the Five Elements was very rare. While it was not impossible to find, such a high-grade Metal Water of the Five Elements was something that even True Immortals would generally be incapable of finding.

The rivulet of water could already be considered as a divine object.

Before Chen Feng could say anything, the Longevity Tower devoured every drop of the Metal Water of the Five Elements.

“To think that there are treasures here!” Seeing that, Huo Yunlong’s heart became inflamed and he followed Chen Feng’s lead. Instantly, several asteroids were smashed apart. As expected, more of those rivulets of water flowed out.

“That’s Absolute Water Essence! Ha ha ha! Good item!” Huo Yunlong laughed loudly as he collected the rivulet of water.

Having seen the benefits he could obtain, in addition to the fact that he had just successfully overcome his tribulation, Huo Yunlong attacked with renewed ferocity. And so, a series of explosions erupted and his figure rapidly disappeared into the asteroid group.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Primary Water of Extreme Yin! I’m rich!” Huo Yunlong’s voice suddenly rang out before going silent.

“Isn’t it weird?” Bi Qing said.

“Very strange. Back then, when we were chasing after True Immortal Heavenly One, our battle destroyed countless asteroids. And yet, no divine objects emerged.” Chen Feng nodded.

“Logically speaking, there should only be a distance of less than 50,000 kilometres between us and Huo Yunlong. But I can no longer pinpoint his exact position. Eh! No, his aura has completely disappeared!”

Chen Feng grew shocked.

“Let’s go!”

Without hesitating, Chen Feng and Bi Qing dashed forward to go after Huo Yunlong. Like bolts of lightning, their bodies charged through the group of asteroids to swiftly cover a distance of hundreds of thousands of li before coming to a halt.

“What’s going on? Huo Yunlong’s aura has disappeared.”

“It has really disappeared.”

Exchanging glances, the two of them then split up to quickly search their surroundings. However, it did not take long before Chen Feng realized that he could not even find Bi Qing anymore.

The only things he could sense were the limitless asteroids floating within the vast and endless expanse of space. A peculiar feeling rose up from Chen Feng’s heart.

Bang!

Chen Feng channelled his strength down through his feet and cracks spread out across an asteroid the size of a small planet before blowing up. His figure flashed forward ceaselessly and every flash would result in the destruction of an asteroid. Whenever a treasure emerged, Chen Feng would collect it and keep it inside the Longevity Tower.

After continuing with those destructive actions for an indeterminate amount of time, Chen Feng felt his strength draining away at a serious rate. Due to that, he decided to stop.

Although there are some pressure and killing intent, no one appeared to attack so far. Looks like we must have entered a mysterious space. Chen Feng landed atop an asteroid and mused, a smile on his face.

“Tower, what do you think of this place?” Chen Feng then asked Tower.

“Naturally, I know what this place is. But I am not telling,” Tower replied with a teasing tone.

“Let me take a guess. It is different from the pocket dimension and dimensions that we had encountered before in the past. The power of laws here are of a higher grade. Additionally, there is also the power of space and inner dimension. Looking at it that way, this should be a magic treasure.”

“And yet, it is also different from the other magic treasures that we’d encountered in the past. These asteroids must be real, existing in outer space. I believe that this magic treasure must be hidden amidst this group of asteroids.”

After saying that, Chen Feng beckoned with his hand and a cluster of stars emerged. The Bedazzling Star Map unfurled to become one with the surrounding star light. It looked as though there was another universe within space, blinking in and out of sight. With a flash, Chen Feng then entered the Bedazzling Star Map.

The Bedazzling Star Map was a pseudo-Divine artifact. Chen Feng had obtained it and could mobilize some of its power. That said, the true mystery within it was not something that Chen Feng could so quickly grasp and bring out. Of course, Chen Feng himself was not utilizing the Bedazzling Star Map to fight an enemy. Instead, he wanted to confirm something.

Woah! Woah!

Under Chen Feng’s control, the Bedazzling Star Map kept unfurling. By then, it had unfurled up to a length of tens of millions of li, comparable to a world. And still it continued to unfurl.

After the Bedazzling Star Map had expanded to a length of a billion li, Chen Feng, who was hiding inside the Bedazzling Star Map, stretched his hand out and grasped. Instantly, a massive crack appeared on the Bedazzling Star Map. Following that, countless asteroids and even the various powers floating in space there surged into the Bedazzling Star Map. In just the blink of an eye, the group of asteroids had disappeared into the map, seemingly having entered another world.

I don’t believe you won’t come out! Chen Feng snickered as he borrowed the Longevity Tower’s power to continue mobilizing the Bedazzling Star Map.

Finally, after expanding to a length of billions of li, the Bedazzling Star Map encountered an obstruction. Space fluctuated, like ripples in the water. Next, an unassuming scroll slowly unfolded itself there. Following the unfolding of the scroll, wisps of power were released, causing a chill to flow down Chen Feng’s heart. He then noticed that the Bedazzling Star Map had begun shaking violently.

The Bedazzling Star Map is a pseudo-Divine artifact. To think that it could not resist the might of the other party. Could the scroll be a genuine Divine artifact? Chen Feng became excited. At the same time, he swiftly channelled more power into the Bedazzling Star Map and it continued expanding.
