Chapter 21

"Is this a flying sword? Killing from a distance?" Lin Feng stared at the flying sword in Murong Xue's hand.

A flying sword is a precious treasure of immortals, extremely valuable.

It is engraved with mysterious formations, and once activated, it can kill from a distance with immense power.

Lin Feng had heard of flying swords before but had never seen one. Now, seeing Murong Xue activate the flying sword and instantly slay several powerful figures from the Soul Devouring Hall, he was extremely shocked.

Lin Feng guessed that Murong Xue's identity must be extraordinary; otherwise, how could a young person like her possess such a treasure?

Although Lin Feng had some guesses about Murong Xue's identity, he had little interest in understanding it. He planned to leave to avoid any conflict, as if Murong Xue were to turn against him and use the flying sword, it would be quite troublesome.

Seeing Lin Feng about to leave, Murong Xue quickly said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. I have a big deal waiting for you."

"Oh? A big deal?" Lin Feng stopped and looked at Murong Xue in surprise.

"Of course. I see that your cultivation is quite good, so I plan to bring you in as a partner. It would be good to have each other's support," Murong Xue said.

"What is it? Tell me more," Lin Feng said.

"This place is not suitable for staying long. Let's leave here and talk," Murong Xue said.

Lin Feng nodded and left with Murong Xue.

...

After Sun Kui and the others fled, they arrived at a valley where over a hundred people were resting.

"Master, your servant has returned..."

Sun Kui quickly approached and bowed to a young master.

This young master looked to be around twenty years old, exceptionally handsome, but his narrow eyes gave him a somewhat effeminate air, making people feel very uncomfortable.

This person was named Yuwen Yunfeng, the direct grandson of a great elder of the Soul Devouring Hall, with a noble status.

"What happened to make you look so disheveled?"

Seeing the disheveled Sun Kui, Yuwen Yunfeng frowned.

Sun Kui quickly said, "Master, we discovered Murong Xue from Heavenly Saint City about ten miles away. I knew Master was very interested in Murong Xue, so I thought of capturing her for Master to enjoy. However, Murong Xue had a powerful flying sword and was assisted by a young man, which led to the loss of several of our brothers. I immediately returned to report to Master."

"Murong Xue?" Yuwen Yunfeng's eyes gleamed with lust. "Murong Xue is one of the top ten beauties of Heavenly Saint City. Although she is young, she is already a beauty of the nation. I wanted to get her before, but since she was in Heavenly Saint City, I never had the chance. Now, she has come to the wilderness, which is perfect. Let's go and capture Murong Xue. After I have my fun, I'll let you all enjoy as well."

"Haha, thank you, Master, for your generosity."

Sun Kui and the others all laughed lewdly.

A group of over a hundred people set out in a grand procession to the place of the previous battle, but Lin Feng and Murong Xue had already left. "They can't have gone far. Split up and search."

"Yes."

The cultivators of the Soul Devouring Hall dispersed and searched for Lin Feng and Murong Xue, but they had already vanished without a trace.

Yuwen Yunfeng's face was quite unpleasant. "Damn it, it seems that woman Murong Xue has escaped. Missing this opportunity, it won't be easy to catch her again."

"Master, should we continue searching?" Sun Kui asked.

"No, now finding the Mystic Ice Essence is the top priority."

Yuwen Yunfeng said.

...

As night fell, the campfire burned, casting a red glow on Lin Feng's handsome face. On the campfire, there was roasted meat, which had turned a golden color and emitted a tempting aroma.

"Now can you tell me about that big deal? If it's feasible, we can cooperate. If not, this meal will be our farewell dinner," Lin Feng said.

Murong Xue took out a map.

"What is this?" Lin Feng asked.

"This map is called the Yin-Yang Wuji Map," Murong Xue said, unfolding the map. Lin Feng saw that the front of the map depicted a middle-aged man surrounded by mist, giving the impression of riding the clouds.

On the back of the map, there were intricate patterns, which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be a route map.

"Yin-Yang Wuji Map? What secrets does this map hold?" Lin Feng asked.

"The man in the map is called Wuji Daoist. This Yin-Yang Wuji Map records the location of Wuji Daoist's cave, which may contain treasures, wealth, and even powerful martial techniques that he collected throughout his life," Murong Xue said.

"Wuji Daoist? Is he very powerful?" Lin Feng asked.

"Wuji Daoist, who has comprehended the principles of creation, is a powerful figure at the Yin-Yang realm. Tell me, is he not powerful?" Murong Xue said.

"Yin-Yang realm?" Lin Feng looked at Murong Xue in surprise. He only knew that cultivators could be divided into "Warrior, Martial Master, Martial General, Martial King."

As for the realms above Martial King, he was unaware.

Murong Xue looked at Lin Feng in surprise, seemingly shocked that he did not know about the "Yin-Yang realm." She explained, "Cultivators are divided into three major realms, each of which is further divided into four minor realms. The first major realm is called the Human Realm, where one cultivates the physical body and develops its potential. This major realm is divided into Warrior, Martial Master, Martial General, and Martial King. Cultivating to the Martial King realm, one can resist mountains, and the physical body is developed to its limit. At this point, cultivators seek transformation."

"After the physical body is developed to its limit, if the transformation is successful, it becomes the second major realm, called the Earth Realm. In the Earth Realm, one begins to develop the brain, comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and cultivate magical power. It is also divided into four realms: Yin-Yang, Creation, Life-Death, and Reincarnation. It is said that cultivating to the Reincarnation realm allows one to escape the cycle of rebirth, transcend the three realms, and achieve immortality."

"The third major realm, the Heaven Realm, is even more powerful. Cultivators in this realm will manifest the power of laws, control order, and be revered like deities, receiving the worship of the world and the purification of incense. This major realm is divided into Phantom God, Divine Fire, True God, and Immortal."

Lin Feng was deeply shocked. He had never imagined that there were so many realms beyond the Martial King realm. It turned out that the Martial King realm was just the first major realm. Strictly speaking, the Martial King realm was still about cultivating the physical body, which was just the foundation for cultivation. Even reaching the Martial King realm was just laying the foundation. However, in the True Martial Kingdom, the strongest figures were only at the Martial King realm. In the thousands of years of the True Martial Kingdom's history, no one had surpassed the Martial King realm, which showed how difficult it was to surpass the Martial King realm and enter the Yin-Yang realm.

Murong Xue looked at Lin Feng, hands on her hips, and said, "What do you think? Are you interested now?"

Lin Feng said, "Given your sincere invitation, I'll agree. However, before we set out, we should agree on how to distribute the treasures once we find the cave of this Yin-Yang realm powerful figure. I don't want to end up fighting over an uneven distribution."

"The Yin-Yang Wuji Map is mine, so I get seventy percent, and you get thirty percent," Murong Xue said.

"Deal."
