Chapter-44

It had already been seven days since he entered the Dark Demon Mist Forest. During his search in the Dark Demon Mist Forest over the past six days, he had undergone dozens of battles. Some of which were fiercely dangerous, especially when battling against 5th peak rank demonic beasts, who had the strength to rival the peak of Heaven Realm.

The battles with those Beasts were truly on another level compared to other battles he had in the past. Even with his Heaven Defying Bloodline Divine Armor, it was really close to impossible to defeat and kill those Monsterous beasts.

Compared to seven days ago, his techniques, his instincts, and style appeared much sharper and he had gained much more fighting experience.

Except for the battles in the Black Forest and fighting in the mission, Chu Feng had grown up training in Chu Clan Mansion. He had practically no previous fighting experience with powerful monstrous beasts before that. But now, his previous disadvantage in experience was being made up for.

*Ding*

An axe, with a very cold and sharp blade at a very tricky angle, stabbed directly toward the Golden Bear, which was more than two meters tall in terms height and appeared to at least more than a ton in weight.

The Golden Bear had very thick reddish-black scales, it rushed toward Chu Feng while using its giant arms that were notorious for their outrageous strength.

At that moment Chu Feng also slammed his Asura Ghost Axe towards the Golden Bear, causing dozens of golden lights filled with Heavens Powers flashed almost simultaneously... dashing towards the Giant Golden Bear.

*Clang*

The fleeting and flickering shiny Golden Energies filled the area and it caused the Golden Bear's eyes to show a hint of fear, at the last moment it tried to elude, but it was too late the slashes of Heavens Power directly puncturing its throat with an amazing piercing force.

Rumbling… Its blood continued to spew out as its huge body instantly fell down.

"Great, that is the seventh demon beast in the peak 5th rank that you have killed these last few days," said Queen excitedly as she walked up to him with a smile.

"Your cultivation Power still needs to improve some more, before you start practicing the Asura Ghost Slash, but your body has become more refined after several days of fighting."

"Though I still have a long way to go," said Chu Feng, shaking his head without any sense of pride, with her continuous reprimands his overconfidence has decreased by a lot of margins and his mindset has begun to change.

"I'm still far from having enough fighting experience. You know, as they say, there is always a person beyond a person."

.....

Another week passed in a blink of an eye, during this period of time Chu Feng continuously traveled into deeper regions of the dark demon mist forest.

However due to some unknown odd reason he didn't encounter a single Demonic Beast since the last evening. The last time he fought was yesterday's evening with a peak 5th rank Monstrous lynx.

"hmm!" Suddenly, Chu Feng rushed in the west direction as if he sensed something special in that area.

*whoosh*

After flying for more than a distance of more than a kilometer he arrived in front of a huge lake. The lake was so huge that it could easily cover a small town.

In the middle of the lake, there was a huge dark red color pillar standing up to a height of more than a hundred feet, and on the top of the pillar, there was a small fist-sized stone and that stone was covered with different kinds of powerful Spirit Formations.

Chu Feng didn't even wait for a second and within a flash, he flew over to the top of the pillar and looked at the stone.

"This is...?"

But just at that instant when he was thinking whether to get the stone or not, he surprisingly discovered that the sceneries around him suddenly changed and another person appeared beside him.

It was a middle-aged man. He wore plain cloth clothing and stood nearby with his hands behind his back.

When a light breeze brushed past his body and blew his ink-like black hair as well as his clothing, Chu Feng could feel that his strength reached a point that he could not even dare to think about it.

"Chu Feng be careful, although this man is nothing more than a strand of consciousness still it has very high Martial Power comparable to the late stage of Martial King." Seeing the appearance of Queen's expression became worried and her sweet melodious voice filled with concern for her Chu Feng resounded in his mind.

"Hmmm! Boy what's your name, I could feel that you are very young and have already reached the 3rd Heaven Realm." Suddenly, that person turned around, and at that instant, Chu Feng could also see that man's face.

"What!! Martial King and here?" Chu Feng was stunned hearing Queen's words.

The old man's face was very ordinary, and in addition to his simple cloth clothing, he was simply as ordinary as one could get. But, in between his brows, the man had a hint of a unique demeanor. It was like the descent of a King who ruled the Heavens, and of an extremely valiant person.

Just from his aura, it could be said that he was truly an exceptional expert.

Without even thinking, Chu Feng knew he entered inside a very powerful illusion.

Although the man in front of his eyes was very real, he was likely only a strand of awareness. As for why he seemed so real when gazed upon, it was because Chu Feng was currently located inside the illusion. He seemed real, but in reality, nothing was real in front of his eyes.

As for who that person was, it was not a difficult guess. He was likely the mysterious expert, that laid this powerful Spirit Formation around the forest.

"Senior, I am Chu Feng and I am going to turn eleven in a few months. I was visiting nearby province for some work, but I heard about this forest's legend and decided to enter in it so that I can gain some treasures," Chu Feng replied truthfully because he could clearly feel this old man was just too formidable.

And this man could clearly judge whether he was lying or not.

Even though he was an awareness fragment left behind hundreds of years ago if he wanted to kill Chu Feng, it would definitely not take more effort than blowing dust.

"I left this formation back then, and even specially channeled my Golden Spirit power around the Forest to help the natives."

"Counting from back then, it seems more than a thousand years had already passed and it also appears that my real body is also destroyed by my enemy's..." After hearing Chu Feng's words, the mysterious expert seemed rather impressed as he liked people who speak the truth.

"Whatever, meeting me must be your fate and therefore I decided to pass down my inheritance to you. You see this pond you see below, is no ordinary pond and is just merely a part of my inheritance."

Hearing those words, Chu Feng's heart started beating at rapid speed. This old man actually going to gift him his inheritance

"Senior, I Chu Feng will never disappoint you." After a silence of a few seconds, Chu Feng politely answered.

"Young Chu Feng, you have very high talent. If the Eastern Sea Region was the same as thousands of years ago, then you would be seen as one of the rarest genii. This small land here would not be able to bound you."

"I am sure, in the future, you may be able to enter the legendary the Holy Land of Martialism, which was the feet I was never able to perform." The mysterious expert smiled and said.

"Senior, you're, from the Eastern Sea Region?!" Hearing those words, Chu Feng couldn't help being taken aback.

"Hoh. I was originally from the Eastern Sea Region and accidentally came to this place more than thousands of years ago. I was the 8th realm, Martial King, back then but was injured by my enemies who were from some unknown land."

"In the future, when you went to Eastern Sea Region, don't show off too much otherwise you might be killed before you even bloomed. And try to get some protection for yourself."

"Senior, thank you for your kind intentions." Chu Feng, these were exactly the same words were spoken by his master "Judging by your talent, it shouldn't be hard for you to enter the Holy Land of Martialism.."

"After obtaining the Mysterious Spirit Formation rock I left behind. You will know the exact location of my inheritance and you can open the lock to the Spiritual Lair and enter my inheritance palace."

"But remember it won't easy as this one."

Finishing those words, the mysterious expert's body became a strand of rainbow light, then it charged into the sky. As it channeled the formation over the pond, it disappeared into nothingness.

Quickly after the rock placed over the pillar also began to shake, and rushed at very high speed to enter inside Chu Feng's mind.

*rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble*

The scenery around him also twisted and changed, after absorbing all the knowledge (map) from the stone about the Flame King's inheritance Chu Feng looked below, As the white mist caused by the formation activation, was blown away, starting from the center of the Cultivation Lake, dazzling multi-colored radiance could be seen.

That was the Cultivation Lake from the stone's knowledge. This radiance was not only limited to the center of the lake. Instead, the entire lake was emitting this sort of radiance.

It was as if what was before him wasn't lake water at all, as before. Instead, now it looked as if it was formed of countless crystals and gems. Not only did the lake water possess many different colors, but it also shone with brightness.

Actually, that was indeed no ordinary lake water. Cultivation Lake was formed by absorbing martial energy for hundreds of years from nature. That was because Chu Feng was already able to sense the dense natural energies contained within the lake before he had even set foot into it.

"Extraordinary indeed," Even Chu Feng was startled. That was because this Cultivation Lake contained a remarkable amount of energy.

"What are you all hesitating for, enter and increase your power," Milady Queen was very happy for Chu Feng, she believed it was Chu Feng's hard work over the previous weeks which was paying off.

In response, Chu Feng directly jumped into the lake. After entering the lake, Chu Feng was overjoyed. The energies contained within this Cultivation Lake was truly too powerful. He felt as if a lot of Natural Beads were contained within this lake.

Chu Feng was certain that he would be able to reach breakthroughs here. He tightly closed his eyes.

His lower body was in the water and his upper body was above the water. He began to form hand seals with his hands and operate mysterious techniques.

At the same time, he began to activate the powerful refining power from his Inherited Bloodline contained within his dantain. He had begun to refine the natural energies and spirit energies contained within the lake.

Once Chu Feng began to refine the energies, he immediately felt a boundless amount of energy gathering toward him. In fact, at the moment when Chu Feng began to refine the energy, simultaneously the water in the surrounding, tens of meters around him also started to dim.
