Faced with the relentless pressure from the people of both nations, Jiang Xing truly felt the urge to unleash a massacre. If he, as a cultivator of the initial realm, were to rampage, no foreigner in the Han Hai Desert would leave alive. However, Jiang Xing was no longer in his twenties or thirties; such impulsive actions were no longer suitable for him.
At this moment, Jiang Xing couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy towards the Pope. Despite having similar strength, no one dared to confront the Pope in such a manner. The truth was that after years of enduring restraint, China did not wish to give anyone leverage against them. Thus, Jiang Xing could only smile and say, "Everyone, don’t you think it’s a miracle that only three people from the Twenty-Four People team sacrificed themselves while entering the ruins?"
Indeed, this statement held merit. Based on past experiences, if half of the Twenty-Four People survived, it would be considered a good outcome. Yet this time, more than twenty individuals returned alive with their belongings—an extraordinary feat. However, it was infuriating that among the twelve from China, only one had yet to emerge while all others returned unscathed. This led to the provocation from Wa Country and stirred up trouble among Yue Country's people.
Just then, the previously silent monk Jue Chen spoke up: "Everyone quiet down. I may not know about others who have died, but Ruan Sanyun from Yue Country attempted to kill a Chinese person who spared his life when they had already ceased hostilities. Therefore, his death is something even Buddha cannot prevent. I hope everyone understands this."
Jue Chen's words brought an abrupt hush over the lively scene. Meanwhile, an Onmyoji from Wa Country deliberately concealed her wound with her wide sleeves. No one knew why she did this; however, unlike others from Wa Country who hoped Xiao Yefeng would not emerge from the Bronze Door, she wished for his safe return.
Xiao Yefeng was unaware of the situation outside. By now, he had been working for five days on perfecting the runes on his limbs. The runes had long been inscribed; however, as he attempted to harness the power of Symbol Bone, he realized that those runes he had carved were nothing but jokes. His breath was repeatedly obstructed as Symbol Bone fluctuated between smooth and blocked flow due to the disjointed runes.
For several days, Xiao Yefeng kept revising Symbol Bone, inscribing talismans onto his bones and then erasing and redrawing them. Finally, after completing the one hundred twentieth Symbol Bone, he unleashed its power from Spirit Platform. Four streams of energy surged into his limbs; in an instant, a thin layer of Qi enveloped Xiao Yefeng's arms and legs. With each punch he threw, sounds of wind and thunder echoed—a result of the Starry Body Forging Technique's runic power merging with Xiao Yefeng's thunder talismans.
With a kick, he unleashed a Psychic Blade that shot towards a dummy like a dart. The razor-sharp Psychic Blade reappeared with astonishing force, penetrating three inches deep into the dummy. The one hundred twenty Symbol Bones completely covered his palms and soles; even without adding Qi, Xiao Yefeng's strength doubled compared to before. The strength of this coverage was far more resilient than ordinary bones.
Moreover, casually taking out an Earth Fire Talisman and activating it without protection led Xiao Yefeng to strike it with his fist. As a result, the Earth Fire Talisman only brought a slight burning sensation to his right fist while this flame capable of scorching spirits was dispersed by merely a layer of Qi around his flesh!
Next, Xiao Yefeng tested Thunder Talisman with similar results; however, Symbol Bone could not negate its paralysis effect. Yet under the activation of genes triggered by lightning strikes, Xiao Yefeng felt reduced pain. At this moment, combined with Symbol Bone and gene activation armor beneath his skin, he managed to avoid paralysis effects altogether. To his surprise, he discovered that his long-dormant gene activation state had undergone changes.
The scales hidden beneath his skin began to manifest as his strength grew; they no longer lay dormant but gradually spread above his skin—similar to how Jonin injected Gene Serum No. 3 on Taiyu Island. However, Xiao Yefeng remained clear-headed amidst battle’s chaos; could Gene Warriors also cultivate to enhance their power?
Unbeknownst to him, this speculation aligned with answers recently uncovered in Western research. Taking advantage of gene activation once more with the dummy for testing revealed that as his strength increased under gene activation state, Beastification power also grew stronger—his fingernails now rivaled ordinary Alloy Blades in sharpness while the hardness of scales on his skin could withstand even Black Sword attacks under Xiao Yefeng's control.
Although the speed could not be tested, Xiao Yefeng believed it had increased significantly. If other Gene Warriors could also achieve this, then the Western forces would be able to crush Huaxia at any moment. Realizing that time could not be wasted, Xiao Yefeng put away his belongings, found a rope in his backpack, and hung the Tricolor Jade Ring around his neck before stepping out of the Stellar Palace.
To his surprise, as soon as he exited, the Stellar Palace dissipated like smoke. By the side of the spiritual spring, an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a brocade robe adorned with rust-colored Auspicious Cloud patterns and a beautifully embroidered belt, was waiting by a stone table, gazing at the spring water.
"Senior!" Xiao Yefeng cupped his hands in greeting.
"Very good! You have obtained the only inheritance that I did not leave behind. Come! Once you leave, the remaining spiritual energy here will sink into the earth's core, and from then on, there will be no more Wenren Zhongheng in this world!" Wenren Zhongheng smiled.
"Senior, I—" Just as Xiao Yefeng was about to express his desire to erect a monument for Wenren Zhongheng, the elder interrupted him: "Hahaha, all pretenses are in vain. Our generation is guilty; since we have been dead for so long, there is no need to leave a monument that will invite eternal scorn. Come, I will see you off!"
With that, they arrived at the place where Xiao Yefeng had entered through the Bronze Door. At this moment, Wenren Zhongheng called out to him: "Remember my words; do not entertain thoughts of restoration. The Earth will not regain Qi for any reason. I can already sense that the Earth's Qi is gradually dissipating. Among this group of people, you are the only one I cannot see through. I believe you will be the one to end this generation. I feel you can resolve the integration of Extraordinary Persons and the new era. Do not take paths that should not be taken!"
After saying this, Wenren Zhongheng sent Xiao Yefeng away. Although Xiao Yefeng was puzzled and did not fully understand, he took it as an expression of expectation from his senior and did not think too much about it. However, his appearance attracted everyone's attention as they had already called a truce.
Xiao Yefeng's sudden appearance infuriated Wa Country and Yue Country; they were seething with rage at his unscathed emergence from the Bronze Door. It was clear that everyone from Huaxia had survived this ordeal. Kazama Tadao and Sakai Tomokazu from Wa Country were gritting their teeth in hatred, but upon seeing Xiao Yefeng emerge from the Bronze Door, Master Juechen from Thailand and the Female Onmyoji from Wa Country both expressed joy—though the Female Onmyoji concealed her emotions well while Master Juechen stepped out of his camp to congratulate Xiao Yefeng.
At this moment, Kazama Tadao and Sakai Tomokazu from Wa Country had gathered together with the Female Onmyoji, and leaders of Wa Country's military joined in their discussion. Jiang Xing also approached Xiao Yefeng to inform him of an unexpected situation.
It turned out that while waiting for Xiao Yefeng, Wokou had somehow gained confidence and decided to hold a competition to celebrate their survival against such odds.
Surprisingly, Ruan Liupang, the only survivor from Yue Country, volunteered to participate. With no other choice as the largest beneficiary, Huaxia had no option but to agree to join in as well; the timing was set for after Xiao Yefeng was the last person to exit.
Upon further understanding, Xiao Yefeng realized that everyone had come away with substantial gains; while Huaxia's people were unaware of what Wa Country and Yue Country had received, three High Monks from Thailand openly displayed their own rewards.
A Spirit Heart the size of four basketballs, three rolls of Buddhist Scriptures, and a finely crafted Demon-Subduing Pestle—it's worth mentioning that all three treasures were obtained by the masters from the Buddhist sect. Whether it was the Demon-Subduing Pestle or the Buddhist Scriptures, they were both items of the Buddhist realm, so no one felt envious. After all, those who did not practice Buddhism could not utilize the Buddhist Scriptures or the spiritual artifacts associated with Buddhism.
As for the Yue Country side, the remaining Sorcerer Ruan Liupang stood tall and proud. It was evident that Ruan Liupang's attire had changed; beneath his original clothing, a set of brown and dark purple inner garments had emerged. Moreover, his previously not-so-full backpack was now bulging, clearly indicating a bountiful harvest from this trip. The most crucial detail was that Xiao Yefeng, through his Observer's Eye, noticed a belt on Ruan Liupang that radiated a metallic sheen—something that had not been there before.
On the Wa Country side, one could see from Kazama Tadao and Sakai Tomokazu's smug expressions that all five of them had acquired quite a few treasures during this expedition. The key point was that out of the twelve individuals from Huaxia, only four had obtained substantial treasures; the others merely received Spirit Hearts and cultivation methods. These cultivation methods required deep comprehension, and it was clear that these five were hardly capable of grasping such concepts.
Thus, in terms of numbers, Huaxia had already suffered a loss. However, Wa Country and Yue Country were relentless, insisting that Huaxia participate in this duel under the pretext of mutual sparring. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng had also significantly improved his own strength and could serve as a participant in the match. Nevertheless, with five against six, Huaxia still found itself at a disadvantage.
"How about it, President Jiang? Are you willing to fight?" A man who was evidently a superior to Kazama Tadao and Sakai Tomokazu stepped forward.
Before Jiang Xing could respond, the representative from Yue Country interjected, "Since everyone has just come out of the ruins, why not choose another day to battle?"
Before Jiang Xing could say anything further, Xiao Yefeng whispered something in Jiang Xing's ear. Maintaining his composure, Jiang Xing replied, "If that's the case, then it's acceptable. Let's have our rematch at Open Sea Arena in a month. We have matters to attend to and will take our leave now!"
