We Agreed You’d Just Play the Divine Son, So How Did You Become the Forbidden Zone Emperor?

Chapter 13. The Appearance of 《Star Lodges Diagram Record》, the Mysterious Old Man’s Token!

For the next half hour, Chu Feng focused on searching through the Scripture Pavilion for divine abilities he wished to practice.

Besides 《Nine Domains Imperial Fist》, which he had taken at the start, Chu Feng also practiced two other divine abilities.

One was the movement technique divine ability 《Cloud Dragon Escape》. The other was 《Void Divine Martial Seal》, also a pinnacle among Seventh-Rank divine abilities—extremely powerful.

And for both of these divine abilities, Chu Feng cultivated them to the Extreme Realm.

Moreover, the two Seventh-Rank divine abilities together took him no more than thirty breaths.

In this short span of time, Chu Feng had already cultivated three Seventh-Rank divine abilities to the Extreme Realm.

If news of this spread, it would surely shake the world.

Most of his time had been spent simply on finding the manuals he wanted.

“Three divine abilities… That is about enough.”

Chu Feng swept his gaze around. Too much would only dull the edge.

The upper limit of the Scripture Pavilion was here. There was no need to keep wasting time.

Just as Chu Feng was about to leave—

Suddenly, he halted.

In that instant, Chu Feng felt his Chaos Dual Pupils react as though they had seen something incomparably precious. His eyes immediately flared with an extremely intense light.

He sensed that, in that direction, there was something that irresistibly drew him.

Chu Feng was slightly startled. Ever since he had fused with the Chaos Dual Pupils, he had never experienced such a strong reaction.

“I will take a look.”

Chu Feng made his decision at once and headed in that direction.

Before long, he arrived at an ancient, solemn bookshelf at the innermost, deepest part of the Scripture Pavilion.

In the farthest corner, where no one paid attention—

Chu Feng reached out and took a profoundly antique tome into his hands.

It was a manual coated in dust. The moment he held it, Chu Feng’s expression changed slightly. It felt heavy beyond belief, as though it weighed ten thousand jun.

The tome was only the size of Chu Feng’s palm, and no thicker than a finger. By all logic, it should never have been so heavy.

Driven by curiosity, Chu Feng opened it directly.

BOOM!

In an instant, four divine patterns shot into the sky, hovering before Chu Feng’s eyes.

“Star Lodges Diagram Record!”

Chu Feng exclaimed in astonishment. His mind trembled. The four characters carried boundless divine might. The moment the divine patterns appeared, the Supreme Immortal Bone in his chest roared in response, and the Chaos Dual Pupils began operating at extreme speed.

This Star Lodges Diagram Record was anything but ordinary!

Compared to it, the Seventh-Rank divine abilities he had cultivated earlier were utterly dim.

Chu Feng opened the Star Lodges Diagram Record, only to find that there was not a single piece of information inside.

With a thought, he activated the Chaos Dual Pupils and stared deeply at the Star Lodges Diagram Record.

Then, its corresponding introduction surfaced.

“The star lodges revolve, the great cycle endures; my body is the universe, and all things are but dust!”

As he looked at this line, Chu Feng was startled within. A momentum that seemed to stand above the heavens arose spontaneously in his heart.

He continued to examine it with the Chaos Dual Pupils. A moment later, Chu Feng was shocked.

He had already read through the entire introduction to this star-lodge divine art.

This divine ability took the twenty-eight star lodges of the great cycle as its core. Those who cultivated it could gradually establish communion with—perhaps even fuse with—stars located billions upon billions of miles beyond the firmament.

It was indeed an invincible divine art of extraordinary nature. Though its origin was unknown and its rank unknown, the cultivation methods contained within left Chu Feng stunned at a single glance.

This was likely at least Tenth Rank—no, perhaps even a terrifying divine ability beyond Tenth Rank!

Soon, Chu Feng finished flipping through 《Star Lodges Diagram Record》.

“So it is as I thought!”

“It records the cultivation methods of the Four Symbols and Seven Lodges.”

“And when cultivated to the utmost, one can transform into the stars filling the sky and take command of the cosmos!”

“If I can successfully cultivate such a divine ability, my strength will rise to a truly terrifying level!”

Chu Feng gradually calmed his emotions, yet doubt filled his heart.

“Strange. Why would such a terrifying divine art exist within the Scripture Pavilion? It should not be possible,” Chu Feng murmured.

The highest grade in the Scripture Pavilion was only Seventh Rank. Yet this Star Lodges Diagram Record was clearly beyond Seventh Rank—most likely at least Tenth Rank, perhaps even higher.

Just as Chu Feng was puzzled—

An extremely aged voice, carrying a faintly emotional sigh, sounded.

“This technique possesses great spirituality. It will only wait for one who is fated to it.”

“Who would have thought, who would have thought! For ten thousand years, within the entire Great Chu imperial clan, not a single person could make it reveal itself.”

“And you are the first in these tens of thousands of years!”

At these words, Chu Feng was startled out of his wits!

This sudden voice was like a ghost. It came from all directions—above and below—as though this person existed everywhere at once.

BOOM!

A light breeze swept past. Chu Feng’s body trembled. He did not turn his head, yet he could sense that someone had appeared behind him.

This was absolutely a supreme overlord, an unparalleled powerhouse—more terrifying than anyone Chu Feng had seen. Whether it was Consort Yu or the Pavilion Master of the Scripture Pavilion, none of them compared.

In that instant, Chu Feng’s expression remained calm. He completely concealed both the Chaos Dual Pupils and the Supreme Immortal Bone. He could not allow the other party to perceive them.

“Child, there is no need to be so tense.”

The aged voice spoke lightly.

Chu Feng remained silent, and the aged voice continued, “Turn around.”

Chu Feng slowly turned. Only then did he see who was speaking.

The other party was extremely old. His back was bent, his face withered, and his hair was nearly transparent. Not only his hair—his very body was also somewhat translucent.

“Senior, may I ask who you are?”

Seeing that the other party bore no hostility, Chu Feng immediately asked in a deep voice.

The old man did not answer at once. Instead, a token appeared in his hand. It was an ordinary wooden token, without the slightest trace of imperial nobility.

The wooden token was exceedingly ancient, having weathered countless ages. Upon it was carved a single character: “Yuan.”

“This is?” Chu Feng asked in surprise, not knowing what the token was for.

“Take it.”

The old man spoke indifferently. “It will certainly be of use to you in the future.”

Chu Feng did not hesitate. He immediately accepted the token into his hand.

The terror of this old man far surpassed the Pavilion Master. He was undoubtedly one of the topmost ancient monsters within the Great Chu Imperial Palace.

Yet he held no malice toward Chu Feng.

On the contrary, the old man’s eyes were full of admiration.

“Not bad, not bad!”

The old man smiled faintly. “You are steady enough. Ordinary people who see me either break out in a cold sweat or become numb with shock.”

“For you to draw out the Star Lodges Diagram Record means your physique is extraordinary, and your future is limitless!”

“In the future, Great Chu may well produce a peerless prodigy who suppresses an entire era!”

“Perhaps you can even contend for the imperial throne!”

Such was the old man’s appraisal.

Chu Feng remained silent, offering only quiet restraint.

With a monster like this, even one extra sentence could invite unforeseen changes.

The old man continued, “This token is not meant to harm you. It represents my identity.”

Then, his tone remained calm. “Anyone who sees this token sees me.”

“From this point on, no matter what trouble you encounter within the imperial palace, this token will ensure your safety.”

“No one would dare to make a move against you!”

The old man’s voice was light, yet it carried supreme authority, as though he spoke with the decree of heaven itself—whatever he said would inevitably come true.
