After returning ho, Liu Hun almost cultivated for an entire night before fully recovering.
However, because of this incident, Liu Hun directly refined all the power of faith within him. At the sa ti, the black aura originally in his Dantian also dissipated, turning into strands of power that completely integrated with Liu Hun’s strength.
Liu Hun didn’t know whether this was a good or bad thing, but because this black energy completely fused with his strength, his power directly entered the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm.
Every level Liu Hun’s cultivation technique ascends corresponds to entering the next layer of strength, and the power of the Seventh Layer Innate is considered quite formidable in this world.
In the Innate Realm, there are nine small layers in total, even the old man in a past life only reached the Ninth Layer Innate. At that ti, the old man told him that fewer than ten people have broken through the Innate Realm in this world; reaching the Innate Nine Layers ans being an elite power.
"This black energy hasn’t shown any change since it entered my body, let’s hope it won’t cause any side effects in the future," Liu Hun murmured with his eyes open.
It was already past nine in the morning, Liu Hun got up and went to the courtyard; besides Cheng Feng gazing at the sky, the courtyard was empty.
"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?" Liu Hun asked Cheng Feng with a smile.
"Boss, are you okay?" Upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, Cheng Feng hurriedly turned around, seeing Liu Hun looking vigorous, couldn’t help but ask in shock.
Bear in mind, Liu Hun was gravely injured when he returned yesterday, a slight mishap could even an death, yet he fully recovered after just one night.
"Do you wish for to be unwell?" Liu Hun laughed and chided.
"Not at all, of course, I hope the boss gets well soon; I was just surprised, given you were at death’s door yesterday," Cheng Feng scratched his head.
Even though the two hadn’t t for a long ti, they felt no awkwardness upon reuniting.
"Boss, do you know who that guy is?" Cheng Feng asked, his tone serious as he looked at Liu Hun.
No matter the situation, Cheng Feng remains calm and collected, and since they have now provoked that guy, Cheng Feng should consider the possibility of retaliation from the other side.
"First talk about what’s going on between you and Xiaofan," Liu Hun shook his head at Cheng Feng and then asked him calmly.
Cheng Feng understood Liu Hun’s implied aning, given how they had left with Zhang Fan without a word and now suddenly appeared, it would inevitably leave so resentnt.
"After Xiaofan and I were called back ho, we were sowhat dissatisfied, but Grandpa asked if we wanted to stay by your side forever and accomplish great things; without hesitation, Xiaofan and I nodded; then, we were sent to a strange place," Cheng Feng said, his eyes still tinged with fear.
Obviously, even now, they are still sowhat uneasy about that place.
For soone wanting to cultivate, innate talent plays a big role; for people like Cheng Feng who have reached such an age, cultivating again would not work well, even spending countless ti couldn’t advance to the First Layer Innate.
Liu Hun managed to enter cultivation smoothly due to his rebirth and advantage in cultivation techniques, but others might not be able to do the sa.
If there is only one place in this world where adults can quickly start cultivating and progress rapidly, it would be the City of Death!
Thinking of this, Liu Hun’s expression changed slightly, looking at Cheng Feng with astonishnt, asking, "You... did you go to the City of Death?"
Cheng Feng was stunned hearing Liu Hun’s words, looking at Liu Hun blankly and subconsciously responding, "Boss... how do you know about this place?"
"According to legend, the City of Death is a city that creates strong individuals, similar to a paradise or Nine Nether Purgatory; few know where it is, but once inside and passing the trials, one can quickly start cultivating and rapidly enhance strength," Liu Hun spoke with a noticeably serious tone.
"Boss, as Grandpa and the others say, you indeed have extraordinary capabilities, seems they underestimated you," Cheng Feng sighed with genuine admiration.
Previously, when they followed Liu Hun, they only knew Liu Hun was skilled with a good mind and business acun, but now he had gradually co to realize that Liu Hun was even more terrifying than they had imagined.
"Why are you the only one who returned this ti? Xiao Fan hasn’t co back yet?" Liu Hun ignored Cheng Feng’s flattery and asked gravely.
"Xiao Fan is still undergoing the trial. At that ti, I was just a bit luckier, which is why I barely made it through, but Xiao Fan..." ntioning this, Cheng Feng couldn’t help but show a trace of worry on his face.
"If Xiao Fan doesn’t return within three days, I’ll personally take a trip to the City of Death!" Liu Hun’s tone brooked no argunt.
"Boss, that place isn’t sowhere an ordinary person can enter. Otherwise, we’ll have trouble next." Seeing Liu Hun’s determination, Cheng Feng’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly, and he quickly reminded Liu Hun.
"Perhaps now that you’ve stepped into the world of cultivators, you feel quite good, because suddenly, you possess a terrifying power and can almost do as you please. But do you know why this city is called the City of Death?" Liu Hun sneered coldly at Cheng Feng.
Faced with Liu Hun’s sudden change in deanor, Cheng Feng frowned; he knew Liu Hun wasn’t soone who’d get angry at them for no reason, so clearly, there was sothing going on that he didn’t know about.
"And do you know why your grandfathers sent you two to the City of Death? You know nothing of these things, so why did you agree back then?" Liu Hun’s words were almost scolding in tone.
Cheng Feng opened his mouth, gave a bitter smile, and shook his head helplessly after such a reprimand from Liu Hun.
Back then, their thoughts were simple; they just wanted to follow Liu Hun to accomplish sothing significant. Moreover, their departure left them with a slight guilt in their hearts.
Which is why they agreed to go to the City of Death.
"It seems you really don’t know anything. Fine, I’ll tell you now. Based on my investigation over so ti, in this country, and even the world, there’s an invisible force gradually turning cultivators into puppets that listen to them. How? By permanently erasing mories from the cultivators’ minds. Now, Liu Dehai of Huaihai Province and the youth we t yesterday from Huabei Pharmaceutical Group belong to this mysterious force." Liu Hun explained coldly to Cheng Feng.
Liu Hun’s words were almost beyond Cheng Feng’s imagination. He was ticulous by nature, so he had vaguely sensed before that his grandfather and they seed worried about sothing, but he never thought it was sothing so terribly frightening.
"Boss... you... you’re saying this mysterious force is brewing a conspiracy to turn all cultivators into their puppets?" After Cheng Feng finished speaking, his face turned extrely pale. Even he was deeply shocked by these words.
"I’m afraid it’s not just so cultivators. Even people with significant status and background can be turned into puppets, and afterward, no trace can be found." Liu Hun took a deep breath, his tone subconsciously softening.
No matter what, he couldn’t bla Cheng Feng for this, nor the old-tirs behind Cheng Feng. They did this all for the sake of the country.
"I think your grandfathers have also realized this, which is why they let you and Xiao Fan enter the City of Death. Only by becoming powerful yourselves and following , perhaps there’s a glimr of hope." Liu Hun looked at Cheng Feng with a sowhat complicated expression.
"Isn’t that a good thing?" Although shocked, Cheng Feng now understood his grandfathers’ good intentions.
"If it were truly a good thing, wouldn’t many people have entered the City of Death under this sky? You’re being too naive!" Hearing Cheng Feng talk about this matter, Liu Hun felt a bit angry.
And Cheng Feng didn’t even know what he had said wrong to make Liu Hun angry.
Seeing Cheng Feng’s confused look, Liu Hun shook his head, temporarily suppressing his anger, and sighed, "The reason the City of Death is called the City of Death naturally has its reasons, and nothing falls into your lap for nothing in this world; even if you have experienced near-death, cultivation is not sothing ordinary people can do. The way the City of Death operates is almost like defying the heavens and changing fate, and the ultimate result is that you won’t live beyond ten years!"
After hearing Liu Hun’s words, Cheng Feng was utterly taken aback. He had no idea there was such an underlying truth, and before this, neither the people of the City of Death nor his and Zhang Fan’s grandfathers ever told them.
And since their grandfathers sent them to the City of Death, it clearly indicates they knew about it and yet chose not to tell the two of them...
"Boss, I don’t bla my grandfathers for this. This was a choice Xiao Fan and I made. If we can trade our lives for the peace of this country, we do so willingly, not to ntion we still have ten years to indulge." After being stunned for a while, Cheng Feng ca to his senses and said to Liu Hun with a bitter smile.
Looking at Cheng Feng, Liu Hun’s complex eyes gazed at him deeply and then closed his own eyes lightly. "Later, you can tell your grandfathers that as a mber of this country, I will do my utmost concerning this matter, and they need only know that I will follow this path through to the end; as for you and Xiao Fan, if you’re lucky when you return, perhaps I can extend your lives..."
After saying this, Liu Hun turned around and took a few steps forward, raising his head, with his hands behind his back, looking at the newly risen sunset in the distance.
In the beginning, everything Liu Hun did was solely for revenge for the old man; however, at this mont, from Cheng Feng’s perspective, Liu Hun suddenly realized this wasn’t just about the old man’s death, but more importantly, about the life and death of many others.
"A doctor must possess a heart to save the world, healing diseases as a small doctor, but healing the world as a great doctor; when you understand this principle, only then can you be a true Divine Doctor." These were the words the old man once inadvertently said to Liu Hun, and back then, he didn’t understand. But at this mont, Liu Hun seed to grasp the aning of this phrase.
