Chapter 220: The Immortal Descends into the Mortal World, Only I Am True

Chu Feng walked into town, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. This was clearly his hometown, yet he seemed to have become an outsider, even having to pay for his own purchases.

Was this right?

This wasn't right!

"Liu Bo, sell me your cheapest, oldest Communicator."

Without hesitation, he headed straight to the nearest antique shop and picked out the oldest, most outdated model. The only redeeming quality was that it looked relatively new on the outside.

"This old thing just takes up space, you can take it for free", Liu Bo, who had watched Chu Feng grow up, offered the antique Communicator without a second thought.

"Do you have any newer models?" Chu Feng had initially planned to take advantage of Yellow Bull, but he knew the other party wasn't easy to fool.

But then again, even the landlord has no extra grain.

He had just graduated and had already spent a lot on his return trip. Buying a new Communicator would be a significant expense.

"Almost brand new", Liu Bo replied.

"Sure, sure!" Chu Feng rubbed his hands together and bought it at half price, determined to be frugal but also willing to spend when necessary, practicing thrift and prudence.

While he was out, Shaohua had already learned the Great Bull Demon Fist from Little Yellow Bull and mastered its true essence.

"Immortal, look, I've brought you a Communicator, better than the one I use", Chu Feng said as soon as he entered the courtyard.

It wasn't a lie. The Communicator he used was from a few years ago, so he didn't feel awkward saying it.

Shaohua smiled, her beautiful eyes twinkling as she saw through Chu Feng's intentions. She took the rose-gold Communicator and nodded slightly.

"You're thoughtful. I've already taught the skill to Little Yellow. You can learn from it later."

"Ah?!" Chu Feng was taken aback. He had to learn a skill from a bull?

"Moo?!" Little Yellow Bull was also surprised. This was different from what was just said.

But it didn't dare to challenge Shaohua, so it swiftly ran to Chu Feng, standing on its hind legs and snatching the Communicator with its front hooves, tightly hugging it.

Better to get the benefit first!

"Hmm? Unwilling?" Shaohua raised an eyebrow, her phoenix-like eyes narrowing as she looked at the man and the bull.

Chu Feng and Little Yellow Bull both shook their heads, each trying to be more obedient.

Shaohua nodded in satisfaction, turned, and floated back to the second-floor study, plugging in the Communicator to charge it.

She powered it on and connected to the network effortlessly. Her long, slender fingers moved so quickly they left a blur as she entered the numbers she had memorized.

In the name field, she filled in three characters, not "Chu Feng", but "Lin Nuoyi." In fact, she didn't even know the boy's name.

"Is the world undergoing a rapid transformation or a Spiritual Energy Revival?" A thought flashed through Shaohua's mind, and she found the term fitting.

For the entire afternoon, she secluded herself in the study, exploring the network and gradually understanding the world.

In simple terms, this Earth was in a so-called Post-Civilization Era, where the old order had collapsed and been rebuilt. Corporate Clans now dominated, and the world was experiencing a Spiritual Energy Revival, making the mountains and rivers increasingly mystical, and various creatures evolving and mutating.

"A great era is dawning, and all things are vying for freedom. Who will laugh last?" She shook her head, wondering what this had to do with her.

"Knock, knock."

The study door was knocked on, and Chu Feng asked if she wanted to eat.

Shaohua opened the door and was surprised. Her intuition told her that she didn't really need to eat.

To be precise, she didn't need to eat deliberately; ordinary breathing could draw energy from the void to sustain her life and activities.

Of course, not being hungry didn't mean she shouldn't eat. The two were not the same.

Shaohua didn't mind the simple meal; it even gave her a sense of human warmth, making her feel more like a person.

She had seemed a bit restless before, perhaps because of her inner unease.

Not knowing where she came from or where she was going, she had suddenly appeared in this world, alone and without friends or family.

Was it true, as the phrase in her heart suggested, that everything was false, everything was desolate, and only she was real?

If the entire world was a lie, and only she remained, that would be too cruel and terrifying.

"Immortal, my name is Chu Feng. May I ask for yours?"

Chu Feng's voice interrupted Shaohua's thoughts. After a moment's consideration, she said, "Call me Shaohua."

She knew her true name, but had a feeling that if others used it too much, it might cause problems.

"Great name!" Chu Feng immediately praised her, regardless of whether it was her real name.

And indeed, she was as beautiful as a celestial being. Even in modern clothing, her charm remained undiminished, making her look so alluring that he could eat another bowl of rice just looking at her!

"Moo~"

After the meal, Little Yellow Bull came to Shaohua, gently nudging her leg, indicating it was ready to practice in the courtyard and seeking her approval.

"Go ahead." Shaohua patted its head.

Little Yellow Bull felt a surge of energy. Despite not knowing her background, it sensed she was a good person with no ill intentions toward it.

Regardless, daily practice couldn't be neglected. Unless it fled, it would eventually reveal its Breathing Art.

Besides, it had already shared the Breathing Art with that foolish human. If necessary, it could make another decision that went against its ancestors and teach one more person.

Little Yellow Bull led Chu Feng to the courtyard, sat on its hind legs, and faced the sky, beginning its special Breathing Art.

In this world, the foundation of cultivation was the Breathing Art!

"Interesting, this Breathing Art seems quite extraordinary?"

Shaohua was slightly surprised, watching as the man and the bull followed a peculiar rhythm, drawing in the abundant life energy from the air.

She found it fascinating and decided to try it out, following their rhythm.

The Breathing Art was complex, with varying intensities and speeds, but it wasn't too difficult. She quickly sensed a deeper 'essence' from Little Yellow Bull, moving from the external 'form' to the internal 'spirit.'

The Breathing Art, when form and spirit were united, possessed true extraordinary power.

As she breathed, a fragrant white mist began to form around her mouth and nose, blending with the moon's essence.

Little Yellow Bull had been observing Shaohua, having already taught the Great Bull Demon Fist and exposed its Breathing Art, hoping to gain some benefit from this mysterious woman.

But what it saw was astonishing. Just by watching, she had learned the Daoist Resonance Art, and not just the form, but the essence as well.

Had she already mastered this Breathing Art and was just toying with it?

Little Yellow Bull's mouth gaped open, too stunned to continue its practice.

Shaohua, still unsatisfied, felt that the Breathing Art was incomplete, missing parts. She closed her eyes and let her intuition guide her, fully immersing herself in the practice.

With each breath, a faint white light enveloped her body.

The originally pale moonlight seemed to be drawn to her, growing stronger and more intense, as if a river of silver was pouring down.

The stars also rained down their essence, forming countless streams of light like rain.

Shaohua stood still, enveloped in the Lunar Starlight Veil, her entire form shrouded in a mystical glow.

From a distance, she looked like a divine maiden descended from the heavens, accompanied by the moon and stars, radiating an unparalleled sanctity!

Little Yellow Bull's eyes widened, its body and soul greedily absorbing the scattered moonlight and starlight in the courtyard.

Unfortunately, its cultivation and realm were too low, and its body quickly reached saturation. No matter how much it tried, it couldn't absorb more, feeling utterly frustrated.

"Truly a celestial being?"

Chu Feng slowly woke up, feeling incredibly relaxed and at peace, as if his thoughts had merged with the vast universe, in harmony with nature.

In reality, his vital signs had surged, and his body was filled with the Lunar Starlight Veil, his mind and spirit rejuvenated by the powerful yet gentle energy.

"Faint as the light cloud that veils the moon, graceful as the breeze that stirs the snow. From afar, she shines like the sun rising in the morning mist; up close, she glows like a lotus emerging from the green waves." Chu Feng couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing her.

If this 'Shaohua Immortal' didn't speak, she would indeed look like a celestial being descended to earth, embodying classical beauty.

He had seen beautiful women before, but never one whose very hair seemed to glow, unparalleled in beauty!

Little Yellow Bull looked at him with disdain, thinking, "You see a beautiful woman and act like this. Why don't you praise me, the mighty and majestic one?"

What a foolish human!

"Moo, moo, moo."

Little Yellow Bull snorted, its head held high, nostrils flaring as it expelled the Lunar Starlight Veil it couldn't absorb. One front hoof pointed to the sky, the other to the ground, mooing in protest.

"Alright, alright, stop mooing. You think you're the only one who rules heaven and earth?" Chu Feng, regaining his senses, rolled his eyes.

Little Yellow Bull was furious. It had arrived early on Earth to seize the great opportunity of becoming a saint or ancestor. Why couldn't it be the only one who ruled heaven and earth?

"In my opinion, heaven and earth will definitely be ruled by the Shaohua Immortal. If you perform well, you might be her servant.

But wait, who has ever heard of an immortal riding a bull? You'll just have to make do with me, and I'll grant you the honor of being the future Great Divine King Chu Feng's mount."

Chu Feng, still in the afterglow of the saintly moment, immediately understood Little Yellow Bull's meaning and chuckled, looking smug.

"Moo!" Little Yellow Bull spat, gagging, never having seen someone with such thick skin, willing to lose face to please others.

Chu Feng didn't care. He understood that the world was about to undergo a fundamental change, and he needed to seize the opportunity to rise, not to blend in.

Otherwise, he might not even be able to protect his parents, a situation he was determined to avoid.

Besides, why would he choose to hug a bull's leg when a beautiful, white, and tall celestial being's leg was right there?

This wasn't a choice; it was a bonus question!

Shaohua had already opened her eyes and was quietly watching the man and the bull bicker, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Alright, stop it."

After a while, she spoke, gathering the scattered moonlight and starlight into a ball, then dividing it into two and tossing it to the man and the bull.

Chu Feng and Little Yellow Bull quickly caught the orbs and tucked them into their clothes.

"Hey, that's my study", Chu Feng called out as Shaohua leaped to the balcony of the second-floor study.

"It's mine now", Shaohua waved, leaving a stunning silhouette.

Chu Feng was speechless, feeling the warmth emanating from the orb in his pocket. He shook his head, deciding not to argue.

He thought about it and, given the mysterious nature of the immortal, didn't want to offend her.

So, he moved out of the second-floor room, taking his bedding to his parents' room downstairs and replacing his bed with a new set of linens.

Little Yellow Bull, seeing this, also took over another room downstairs, becoming a bull with a bed.

In the following days, the Taihang Mountains continued to show signs of movement, with rumbling sounds and a pervasive, oppressive aura.

"More mountains!" Chu Feng was astonished, seeing more peaks in the distance, towering and majestic.

Was this the true face of the Taihang Divine Mountains?

Qingyang Town's water, electricity, and communications were all cut off, disconnecting it from the outside world, causing panic among the residents.

People tried to drive to the county, but many roads were broken, and the journey was much longer. They turned back after driving for over a hundred miles without seeing the county.

Previously, the county was only a dozen miles away, but now the distance had increased significantly, and the journey was fraught with mysterious mountains, where apes cried and tigers roared.

In the entire town, perhaps only Chu Feng remained calm.

His parents were in Shuntian, the northern center, with the best protective measures. He himself had the mysterious Little Yellow Bull and the celestial being as companions, so he had no reason to panic.

Or perhaps, he had a bit of an adventurous spirit and even welcomed some excitement.

Shaohua, on the other hand, was unhappy because the internet was down!

Bored and restless, she turned her attention to the seed she carried.

"It looks like a giant willow seed. Should I plant it? Its vitality is too weak, but can I transfer my power to it and revive it?" Shaohua mused.

Since that night when she absorbed the Lunar Starlight Veil, the willow seed had shown a faint sign of life, almost imperceptible but noticed by her keen senses.
