Chapter 166: An Unexpected Coincidence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What an unexpected disaster!”
Zhou Feng felt a few more people following behind him, and his frown deepened.
He had only entered Heavenly Star City for a short while, so why did it seem like he had offended many people?
1
According to his original plan, Zhou Feng wanted to keep a low profile and slowly accumulate strength.
As long as he had enough time, he would be able to obtain enough passive skills.
The current situation seemed to be a little off again.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly quickened his pace, turning left and right to escape from the people who were chasing him.
After circling around for a long time, he finally returned to his residence.
It was a very important thing to have a property of his own in Heavenly Star City.
If someone tried to break into the residence, it would be a big crime in Heavenly Star City. The city guards would definitely hunt them down.
Therefore, it was safe to return to the house.
However, Zhou Feng followed the principle of caution and set up a few warning formations around the residence.
In any case, these formation flags could be used repeatedly. At most, they would consume a few Spirit Stones.
‘Let’s take a look at the Human Emperor Scripture first!’
After setting up the warning formations, Zhou Feng couldn’t wait to check out the Human Emperor Scripture.
He didn’t know how the ancient Human Emperor had broken through to the Purple Mansion realm.
This Human Emperor was once the most powerful expert of the human race. Even if they were so far apart, they should still have some reference value!
Fortunately, the Human Emperor Scripture was a translated version.
If it was the original version, Zhou Feng might not even be able to understand it.
‘This…’
As Zhou Feng read on, his originally relaxed brows began to furrow again.
He seemed to have been tricked!
The cultivation technique recorded in the Human Emperor Scripture could not be cultivated at all.
In the ancient era, the Human Emperor had not needed to condense a nascent soul at all. He had been born with a nascent soul!
This so-called Purple Mansion cultivation technique was actually a body-refining method?
The rubbings in Zhou Feng’s hands were part of this body-refining method.
Legend had it that in ancient times, due to the environment, the Spiritual Qi at that time had been far less gentle than it was now.
At that time, not only had the Spiritual Qi been extremely abundant, but it was also extremely violent. Ordinary people hadn’t had the chance to cultivate at all.
Only those with extraordinary talent could absorb the violent Spiritual Qi into their bodies, thus opening the path of cultivation.
And the legendary Human Emperor was naturally a dragon among men. Not only had he been born with a nascent soul, but his physical body had also been terrifying. From the moment he was born, he could absorb the violent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi between on his own.

He had also created the most powerful cultivation technique at that time, the Human Emperor Scripture.
The original intention of this Human Emperor Scripture had been for everyone to cultivate a physique like his.
Unfortunately, not many people had been able to cultivate.
Even if some people with extraordinary talent started cultivating, they would give up because they couldn’t keep up with the resources in the later stages.
After all, not everyone was a Human Emperor. There was a human race behind them as a support.
After that, the human race flourished, and Sages continued to descend into the world. The environment changed greatly, and all kinds of cultivation techniques emerged one after another.
The Human Emperor Scripture, which was originally a treasure of the human race, also drifted to various places and finally fell into the hands of Zhou Feng.
‘Because time has changed, the environment no longer supports the cultivation of the Human Emperor Scripture…’
Zhou Feng was prepared to curse when he saw this, but there was still a paragraph at the back.
‘But it’s not that there’s no alternative…’
It turned out that besides the original content of the Human Emperor Scripture, there were a few notes at the back.
These rubbings were from a wise man who had wanted to recreate the elegance of the Human Emperor Scripture after seeing it. He had made some improvements based on the current environment.
Simply put, this was a bigshot’s reinterpretation of the Human Emperor Scripture.
“Malevolent Earth Qi?”
If one wanted to master the Human Emperor Scripture, they had to borrow the Malevolent Earth Qi because the current era’s Spiritual Qi was not violent enough.
He had to use the ferocity of the Malevolent Earth Qi to temper his body as much as possible and stimulate the lowest level of the Human Emperor’s bloodline.
Logically speaking, everyone now had a trace of the Human Emperor’s bloodline.
1
Then, one had to use that trace of stimulated Human Emperor bloodline to cultivate the Human Emperor Physique. In the end, they would be able to break through all kinds of attacks and resist soul artifacts with their bodies.
‘Extremely dangerous?’
He saw a series of warnings at the end.
The Malevolent Earth Qi was too fierce, and once it entered the body, the damage would be immeasurable.
Unless an ordinary person had a special constitution or had the support of an ancient sect, whoever cultivated this Human Emperor Scripture would lose their life.
‘Injured? I’m not afraid of that!’
If it was only being afraid of getting injured, Zhou Feng was not afraid at all. On the contrary, the Human Emperor Scripture unexpectedly suited him?
One had to know that he had passive skills such as Tenacious Heart. After being injured, he only needed to wait for a period of time before he could be revived with full health.
Other people who cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture needed to be careful at all times, afraid that the murderous aura would enter too deep into their bodies.
But Zhou Feng was not afraid!
If his body was injured, he could stop and rest for a while and then continue to cultivate!
And most importantly, there were almost no restrictions on this Human Emperor Scripture.
Most cultivation techniques in this world had extremely deep insights, and cultivation required all sorts of prerequisites.
But the Human Emperor Scripture didn’t have these. As long as one was a human, they could cultivate it. Of course, whether one would die or not after cultivating it wasn’t something the Human Emperor would consider.
‘This Human Emperor Scripture can actually be cultivated directly from the Purple Mansion realm! Or rather, the Human Emperor was born at the Purple Mansion realm!’
Zhou Feng’s Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivation was precisely the starting point for cultivating the Human Emperor Scripture.
As long as he stimulated the Human Emperor bloodline and condensed the Human Emperor’s blood, he would be equivalent to a Purple Mansion cultivator.
The moment the Human Emperor’s blood appeared, it would be able to assist one’s scattered soul power in condensing their nascent soul.
Compared to the common cultivation techniques in the world, it was clear that the Human Emperor Scripture was somewhat different.
However, there was one thing that needed to be noted. This scroll only had the cultivation technique of the Purple Mansion realm.
If Zhou Feng wanted to break through to the Divine Ability realm, he would have to look for the later part of the Human Emperor Scripture.
The later parts of the Human Emperor Scripture were like looking for a needle in a haystack!
This was a point that had to be considered.
“However, there is a benefit to this Human Emperor Scripture.”
The various shortcomings of this Human Emperor Scripture were mentioned earlier, but there was a benefit if one cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture.
That was… it could resolve Zhou Feng’s current physical condition.
Previously, because he cultivated the Demon-Devouring Technique, he had relied on the Demon-Devouring Gu to raise his cultivation forcefully.
He had messed up his body, and even his Soul Altar had been contaminated. Now, he had to rely on the Ice Heart Gu in his body to suppress the backlash.
His Blood Qi was also chaotic, not pure at all, while the Demonic Qi had contaminated his Spiritual Qi.
Zhou Feng gradually realized that this Demonic Qi would continuously corrode his mind.
Thus, this Demon-Devouring Technique was too evil.
It was almost impossible for Zhou Feng to turn the situation around. He could only suppress these drawbacks by constantly breaking through realms.
However, the Human Emperor Scripture could solve all these problems.
