Chapter 937: Fire Seed
Han Fei picked up a cup of Spirit Awakening Fluid and remarked, “Senior, is there a lot of Spirit Awakening Fluid here?”
The old man chuckled. “It is a law. Laws are everywhere in the world, but do you think there are a lot?”
Han Fei realized that Old Jiang was correct, and the Spirit Awakening Fluid was exactly a law. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just disappear after it was drunk. Little White and Little Black would’ve died of indigestion if it were common fluid.
Han Fei looked at the old man. “Senior, this is a world too?”
The old man nodded. “Someone created the sky, and someone created the earth. How could this not be a world?”
Han Fei’s pupils contracted, and he asked in shock, “Are you saying that this world was created by someone?”
The old man nodded with a smile. “Naturally.”
Han Fei instantly thought of the kings establishing seas. Why was it called establishing seas? Were seas created too?
Han Fei asked in amazement, “Senior, do you mean that the kings can create the sky, the earth, and the seas?”
The old man shook his head. “I didn’t say that. The kings can only establish seas. Creating the sky and the earth are beyond them.”
The old man looked at Han Fei with a vague smile.
As a result, Han Fei had a horrifying speculation. The Sea Quelling Painting’s creator might not be a king at all but an even stronger expert…
Han Fei thought of something. Ren Tianfen was certainly aware of that, but he never told him anything.
If this world wasn’t created by a king, it was only natural that treasures to become kings were hidden here. Many experts liked to leave opportunities for the future generations.
Han Fei took a deep breath. “There are other levels above kings? What are they?”
The old man looked up at the sky and changed the topic, “It’s too distant.”
Seeing that, Han Fei ventured, “The… Open sky?”
The old man simply smiled without saying anything. “Human, you’re lucky to have come to my place after you came in. Things wouldn’t have looked too good if you showed up somewhere else.”
Han Fei’s pupils contracted. “What do you mean? Are other places dangerous?”
The old man said, “This world is called a Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure for two reasons, partly because there are another four fellows who are just as strong as me, and partly because of the grand array here that can kill Explorers.”
Han Fei took a deep breath. “There are another four legendary experts at the peak of the Law Enforcer level? Wait, the Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure should be more powerful, right?”
The old man slightly nodded. “Of course, the stronger the person who wields it is, the more powerful it will be. If a King masters it, they can kill someone in the Venerable level easily.”
Han Fei realized that the Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures were only powerful in the right hands.
However, Han Fei asked warily, “Senior, why are you telling me this?”
The old man smiled. “I’m just a tree! I’m not good at fighting or killing. I tell every person who comes here these things. After all, every newcomer may master this world in the end.”
Han Fei asked in confusion, “What’s in it for you by informing us outsiders? If my guess is correct, anyone who controls this world will be your master, right?”
Nobody would let go of the opportunity of having five legendary creatures at their will!
The old man nodded. “You’re right! If he is qualified to control this world, what’s wrong with honoring him as our master? You can talk to the others later. I think someone must be talking to them already, but the conversation won’t be so easy.”
Han Fei thought quickly in silence for a moment, before he suddenly said, “So, none of you will really kill an outsider? You’re just testing the outsiders and seeing who’s qualified to control this world?”
The old man nodded.
Han Fei asked again, “Then I want to ask you something else. Since you’re so knowledgeable, do you know of ways to control this world?”
The old man smiled. “You’re too innocent. Passing our test and winning our approval is only one of the steps. Someone won our approval many years ago. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it to the end, and he couldn’t control this world.”
Han Fei raised his eyebrows. “Oh? Is it so easy to win your approval?”
Han Fei had no doubt that the old man was talking about Ren Tianfen, who won their approval but failed the following test. Otherwise, he would’ve claimed the painting.
When Ren Tianfen was outside, he had already told Han Fei about the treasures of the kings, but he never mentioned the five guys, probably because in his eyes, it was easy to win their approval.
He watched Han Fei speculate for a long time when they were outside, probably because he was testing him. Even if Han Fei didn’t come up with anything, he would’ve told him. After all, he probably didn’t have a chance, as his real body wasn’t here at all.
So, the key to the problem had nothing to do with the five legendary creatures.
Therefore, Han Fei simply skipped them and asked, “Senior, I will win the others’ approval. I’d like to know what else I should do.”
The old man said in admiration, “That’s the pride of a top expert. If you pass our test, you will be faced with the Nine Sounds Maze.”
Han Fei instantly asked, “What is this?”
The old man revealed the truth without hiding anything. “The Nine Sounds are the laws made by the creator of this world. Seven of the sounds are known as seven feelings, namely happiness, anger, sorrow, ecstasy, fright, devastation, and reminiscence… You can find out the last two sounds!”
Han Fei instantly had a bad feeling.
Seven feelings? Arriving with them as laws? What did it mean?
Clearly, the old man was aware of the last two sounds, but he was reluctant, or maybe unable, to tell him. Why?
Also, the Nine Sounds seemed to match those in who cultivated the Comfort and Nature Technique.
The Comfort and Nature Technique mentioned that, in order to grow stronger, one must forget their feelings. That was why Han Fei didn’t feel good.
Han Fei asked, “Senior, there must be other tests apart from the Nine Sounds Maze. Where is that town?”
The old man poured a cup of Spirit Awakening Fluid for Han Fei and said slowly, “That we do not know. After all, we weren’t here when this world was first created, but the Nine Sounds were. So, you must investigate the town on your own.”
Han Fei heaved a sigh and asked in the end, “Senior, what is with the distribution of stars in the sky?”
The old man shook his head. “That’s something unknown to us, just like the town.”
Han Fei was rather lost for words. So, the five of you don’t know much either!
Han Fei suddenly asked, “Senior, what if I don’t go to your fellows’ place?”
The old man smiled casually, “You’ll be hunted by them because they don’t know if you’re qualified to control this world. Of course, you can escape from them if you’re capable enough.”
Han Fei rose. “Last question. Senior, do you have anything for me?”
The old man looked at Han Fei thoughtfully and then gave him a seed. “Alright, you may leave. You should know where the other four are. If you can’t even find them, there’s no way that you can master this world.”
Han Fei nodded and flapped the Phantom Glass Wings, soaring up to the sky. Of course he could find them based on the five elements. There was a volcano in the mangrove on the top left corner of the Sea Quelling Painting, and magma seemed to be flowing out.
Han Fei dashed forward crazily with the Wind God Boat. It was also a good chance for him to find out how huge the space was. Although the Tree Spirit never said much, he admitted there were levels above the King realm who could create the sky. So, he might as well call them Sky Openers.
Han Fei intended to find out the size of the world that a Sky Opener could create.
The Sea Quelling Painting was three meters wide and twenty meters long.
However, it took Han Fei almost two hours to cover the three meters.
At this moment, Han Fei looked at the mangrove down below which was ablaze with flames. 9,000 kilometers wide. By deduction, this painting is about 60,000 kilometers long.
Han Fei swallowed. Is this the size of a world that a Sky Opener can create?
It would take the Wind God Boat an entire day to reach one end of the painting from the other end.
Han Fei was caught in a dilemma. He remembered that the ocean was on the west side of the painting, which meant that it would take him a day to meet the guy in the water.
No, absolutely not. I only have seven days. It’s enough for me to meet four monsters. After I meet this guy here, I have to go to the mountain that Wuming always craves. That mountain is high and must be a place where legendary creatures live.
Earth was virtuous and gave birth to vitality. There was an area on the left side of the painting where plants and beasts gathered. The creature that represented Earth, as well as the one in the ocean, was probably not easy to meet.
Han Fei couldn’t help but grin at this moment. He was truly a lucky man. He had learned so much information from the Tree Spirit. Ninety thousand kilometers away, it had to be the fiery legendary expert’s territory, and the journey had been quite smooth.
Hum!
Han Fei jumped off from the boat, not into the woods, but on the top of the volcano.
BAM!
After landing, Han Fei simply shouted, “Senior, I intend to master this world. Please check if I’m qualified!”
Chila!
After Han Fei’s roar, flames rose to the sky from the woods, and magma erupted from the volcano.
A cold voice echoed, “Enter the woods.”
Han Fei’s lips curled, and he quickly dashed into the countless flames.
However, after running for three hundred kilometers, Han Fei found another person in the flames.
Han Fei even knew the guy, who had few interactions with him. However, when he threw a party at the Empyrean Waterfall, this guy did come.
“Liu Shan?”
Liu Shan suddenly opened his eyes. “Han Fei, have you found the mysteries of this world?”
Han Fei grinned. “I won’t tell you anything.”
As he talked, Han Fei looked around and spread out his senses, only to find that a fireball was drifting close.
Han Fei asked, “Senior, what do you think? Do you need to pick between us?”
Han Fei looked at the approaching fireball regretfully. He had been here for a long time, but the fireball never appeared. It showed up the moment Han Fei came. It was obvious that he wasn’t appreciated!
When the fireball arrived, Han Fei saw information in his eyes.
<Name> Fire Seed
<Introduction> One of the spiritual flames in nature. It’s the only fire that’s been confined to this world and can burn anything that isn’t a Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures.
<Level> 69
<Quality> Legendary
<Spiritual Energy> ???

<Unabsorbable>
Han Fei crossed his hands and asked, “Senior, I’ve just come from Senior Tree Spirit, and I’m in a hurry. How would you like to test me?”
