Chapter 1207 - 1232: Return to the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace

After entering the undercurrent, he quickly arrived at the location of the two Golden Bodies. Leaving the Golden Bodies behind was the most decisive decision back then; otherwise, finding the undercurrent now would take an unknown amount of time.

After retrieving the Golden Body into himself, Chu Linfeng glanced at the Dark Fruit and Drunken God Grass. With the Black Chapter already slain, he now just had to wait for the Dark Fruit to mature. Seeing this Dark Fruit made Chu Linfeng feel like his Dark Transformation might break through to the Second Layer, perhaps even reaching the brink of the Third Layer.

But it wasn’t yet time to harvest the Dark Fruit, so Chu Linfeng could only patiently wait. The recent battle with the Black Chapter had consumed an immense amount of Chaotic Immortal Power, leaving his whole arm feeling weak and sore. It was now the perfect moment to recover his strength.

He swallowed an Immortal Jade Lotus Seed and began absorbing an Immortal Crystal. The area around the Dark Fruit was a natural barrier that directly isolated the lake water. Such a phenomenon was no longer surprising to Chu Linfeng.

Time slowly passed, and three days quickly slipped by. Chu Linfeng’s Chaotic Immortal Power had fully recovered, though the consumption was quite alarming. With his cultivation level rising, his Chaotic Immortal Power had become stronger, requiring an ever-increasing number of Immortal Stones, which was becoming somewhat of a burden.

"Master, the Dark Fruit should be mature now; it’s emitting a faint fragrance. It’s time to harvest it," Jade Immortal Emperor said to Chu Linfeng.

"You can smell the fragrance of the Dark Fruit? You’re a Soul Body, that’s impressive," Chu Linfeng said, surprised by Jade Immortal Emperor’s words that were somewhat shocking.

"I can’t smell it, but I can sense it. My Divine Sense is currently much stronger than the master’s, so it’s not that remarkable. However, I think you should attend to the Drunken God Grass first, as it’s a rare item. If it suddenly disappears or wilts, it will be problematic," Jade Immortal Emperor advised.

Chu Linfeng didn’t say much. He knew the importance of the Drunken God Grass to Jade Immortal Emperor, so he smiled and said, "Rest assured, I will fulfill your wish. I’ll attend to the Drunken God Grass right now."

Chu Linfeng glanced at the Drunken God Grass in front of him, then took out the Cyan Frost Divine Sword. Holding the stem with one hand, he used the Cyan Frost Divine Sword to dig with the other. He dared not pull the Drunken God Grass directly from the lakebed soil, lest he broke a piece off.

The soil the Drunken God Grass grew in was extremely hard, not ordinary soil. The Cyan Frost Divine Sword was truly a divine weapon, and Chu Linfeng’s strength was formidable. Even so, it took almost half an hour to excavate the Drunken God Grass.

As soon as he dug it out, Chu Linfeng placed the Drunken God Grass in his Storage Ring. At this moment, the Dark Fruit unexpectedly fell to the ground. Chu Linfeng knew that once the Dark Fruit hit the ground, it would disappear. Who knew when he would get it again?

As one was about to touch the ground, Chu Linfeng managed to catch it, placing it in his Storage Ring. The other two also became his possessions. After obtaining the Dark Fruit, the Tree of Darkness withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a few breaths, it transformed into a ball of black energy and disappeared. Subsequently, a mountain wall appeared before Chu Linfeng, replacing the undercurrent. He found this phenomenon even more peculiar, wondering if this was an Illusion Realm or a Realistic Illusion with attack power.

Thinking of the Illusion Realm, Chu Linfeng remembered the two little ones, Chu Qing and Chu Tong. However, they had grown significantly over time, and he wondered how they were doing now. They needed to get out for some fresh air occasionally.

Seeing the mountain wall, Chu Linfeng realized it might be an entrance to the Netherworld. Destroying the wall could grant entrance, as he could clearly sense faint traces of Nether Energy emanating from it.

Chu Linfeng was well aware of the importance of the Netherworld entrance, as it was related to the future when he would lead Princess Yiyi out of the Netherworld. But now wasn’t the right time, and finding the entrance directly was highly challenging, causing him some difficulty.

After giving it some thought, he decided to leave behind an Earth Golden Body. This way, no matter how the entrance changed, he would know where the Golden Body was located. It was currently the only viable solution.

After leaving behind the Earth Golden Body, Chu Linfeng prepared to leave. As he took a few steps back, the scene changed again; he was back in the undercurrent, and the area where the Dark Fruit and Drunken God Grass had grown had vanished, now completely covered by lake water.

If he hadn’t left a Golden Body, perhaps he wouldn’t be able to find the Netherworld entrance again. What a wondrous, incredible thing.

With a thought, he immediately left the lake’s surface. The Golden Demon Vulture and Golden Dragon King quickly approached him. "Boss, how was the harvest?"

"I obtained the Soul Medicine. There’s nothing else here worth staying for; it’s time to go back," Chu Linfeng said. He temporarily decided not to tell them about the Netherworld entrance, not out of pettiness, but simply because it wasn’t necessary.

On that note, the Golden Demon Vulture transformed into its original form and flew into the sky, with Chu Linfeng and the Golden Dragon King riding atop it. After three days, they returned to the Dragon Race’s territory. When they passed by the Golden Wing Roc Clan, the Golden Demon Vulture didn’t plan to stop.

He wasn’t familiar with them, and Chu Linfeng had urgent matters back at Cyan Frost Emperor Palace which he didn’t want to delay. Upon returning to the Dragon Race, he noticed the Phoenix Race had already left. He didn’t ask much about it; if Lin Ruoxi were here, she might inquire about the Nirvana matter.

But now, since she wasn’t here, asking was pointless. After spending half a day with the Dragon Race, Chu Linfeng announced his plan to return to Cyan Frost Emperor Palace. Everyone knew his situation and didn’t try to hold him back, hoping instead that he could lead them out of Sky-Spirit Valley one day.

Chu Linfeng and the Golden Demon Vulture swiftly moved back. At the Ascension Platform, Chu Linfeng instructed the Golden Demon Vulture to stop. The Ascension Platform was very mysterious, with an ancient fierce beast suppressed beneath it, albeit just a part of its body.

Such strength from the fierce beast was conceivable. Calculating time, the Divine Suppression Platform had a hundred thousand years of service remaining, while the Dark Red Demon Star had the same timeframe. They seemed interlinked.

Perhaps the Dark Red Demon Star’s rise would coincide with the fierce beast’s revival, and when that fierce beast absorbed the Star Power from the Dark Red Demon Star, the world would again face chaos, making him the savior to prevent it.

Chu Linfeng shook his head at the thought, feeling the pressure was immense, "I’ll address these issues later. Resolving present problems takes precedence."

Then, he arrived at the entrance of the Sky-Spirit Valley, where a powerful Dark Element surged forth, ready to break through the Barrier...
