Chapter 408 - 408 Isolated from Heaven and Earth

408 Isolated from Heaven and Earth

“I’ll help you study it.”

“You know how to study this? This stone isn’t an ordinary rock; it has its own pocket dimension,” Qian Yu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shen Fei practically flew over to him in sheer excitement. He carefully observed the stone. Then, he shut his eyes, and instantly, he entered the illusory world of the stone.

In this world, he saw a black-robed man with disheveled hair sitting down in the lotus position. His body was shrouded in gray energy. It was as if he was isolated from the world. This black-robed man also gave Shen Fei an extremely dangerous feeling.

‘This should be the realm of the ancient spirit stone that Qian Yu mentioned,’ Shen Fei guessed.

The black-robed man suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze swept across Shen Fei and he waved his hand lightly. With a boom, the illusory world instantly disappeared. Shen Fei’s mind also regained clarity.

Then, the black-robed man said as he stared at Shen Fei, “You’ve actually comprehended the mysteries of this world’s origin. What a surprise.”

Shen Fei looked at the black-robed man and said, “Who are you?”

The black-robed man scoffed. “You are not qualified to know who I am.”

Shen Fei looked at the black-robed man and scoffed as well. “Since you refuse to tell me who you are? Then I can only find the answer myself.”

In an instant, Shen Fei activated the Nine Nether Yin Mantra. This terrifying power surged all around him, and erupted with a monstrous aura. The black-robed man’s eyes lit up and he stood up.

“As I thought,” The black-robed man muttered to himself as he pinned his dark gaze on Shen Fei. “Brat, your bloodline is quite pure. You actually possess a bloodline that is even more powerful and noble than the Imperial Bloodline of the imperial family.”

Shen Fei’s expression changed as he listened to the man’s words. ‘He even knows about the Imperial Bloodline?’

“Who are you?” Shen Fei asked again coldly.

“Who I am is not important. The important thing is that I want to take you as my disciple. Are you willing to take me as your master?” The black-robed man said.

Shen Fei frowned and asked in confusion, “You want to take me as your disciple? Why?”

“Because your potential and strength have reached my expectations of a disciple. As long as you call me master, I will teach you all sorts of unimaginable cultivation techniques and magic.” The guy said bluntly.

“Sorry, I’m not interested!” Shen Fei refused without hesitation.

“Why? I believe that with your talent and strength, if you become my disciple, you’ll have a bright future ahead of you,” the black-robed man said.

“I’ll be more likely to call you my master if you can break the seal on this stone,” Shen Fei said with a smirk.

“Oh? Even I am unable to fully study the seals. You sure talk big. In that case, I’ll give it a shot.”

“If you’re unable to break this seal, then you are to become my disciple without any objections,” the black robed man said coldly. “To show you how futile it is to even attempt it, I’ll give you a demonstration.”

Then, the black-robed man took out a dagger and placed it on a table.

“During my lifetime, I enjoyed studying all kinds of restrictions and formations. Even my father praised me as a genius. I once used this dagger to cut down tens of thousands of meteorites in Star Land,” the black-robed man said.

Then, he held the dagger and slashed at the walls of the dimension… But nothing happened. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

“I don’t believe it!” he roared stubbornly. The man slashed again and again. After an hour and a half of this, he still could not break the restriction on the stone.

Shen Fei laughed. “Hahaha, even I can’t break this stone. Trying to break it yourself is just a fool’s dream!”

“Shut up!” the man yelled. He looked at Shen Fei again with a playful smile and said, “You’d better accept your fate and obediently become my disciple.”

Shen Fei narrowed his eyes. He did not expect this man to be so despicable and cunning even though he was so powerful.

“I told you that you can’t break the restriction on this stone. Even if you don’t believe me, you have no one to blame when you fail.”

“Hmph, wait until I come out of reclusion, then watch how I punish you!” His gaze swept across Shen Fei once more before he disappeared from his spot.

…

When the black-robed man reappeared elsewhere, a Soul-devouring Nether Beast appeared beside him and snorted indignantly.

“Master, why didn’t you kill him?”

“He has a special identity. Let him live for the time being,” the man lightly replied.

…

When Shen Fei left the stone’s dimension, he stared at the stone with a strange light in his eyes.

Suddenly, a cold and ancient voice said in his mind, “Kid, don’t waste your energy. There’s a seal placed on this stone. Unless you have strength that surpasses a Saint, there’s no way to break this restriction.”

Shen Fei looked at his surroundings in bewilderment to find the speaker. Then, he looked at the stone.

“This stone can actually speak?!” Shen Fei’s eyes were filled with shock.

“That’s right. The seal gave birth to my intelligence, so I can speak the human language,” the voice replied.

“Could there be a terrifying existence sealed in this stone?” Shen Fei asked seriously.

“That’s right. What’s more, you just touched the restriction, and this has produced a backlash. It wants to devour your blood essence and soul!”

“What?” Hearing this, Shen Fei’s expression changed again.

After a moment, a flame appeared on his right palm. It was the Crimson Demonic Flame. Shen Fei controlled the flame to land on the stone. The Crimson Demonic Flame burned fiercely when it touched the stone and crackling sounds were heard.

The stone was burned by the Red Flame Demonic Flame, and it instantly shattered. A dazzling beam of light shot out from it and formed a portal. It looked like it led to a cave.

Shen Fei stepped into the light portal. Soon, he saw a white-robed old man sitting on a futon in the cave.

The old man had an age-worn face, his hair and beard were all snowy white, and his skin complexion no longer held any trace of youth.

He looked extremely weak, as though the candle of his life was burning out. However, from his aura, he seemed to possess extraordinary power that surpassed peak-level martial cultivators.

This old man was the artifact spirit of the stone!

Shen Fei looked at the old man and could not help but ask, “Sir, are you the artifact spirit of this place?”

The old man looked at Shen Fei and asked in surprise, “How did you know I’m an artifact spirit?”

“Lucky guess,” Shen Fei said casually.

“You’re quite smart. Just like my previous master.”
