He had returned from the icy realm, and he was surrounded by sceneries in diverse colours.

  Qin Feng looked at his communicator, and within just a blink of an eye he had entered into the realm for a month.

  Also, time was immeasurable during inheritance. It was the first time where Qin Feng had encountered something unknown and uncertain after his rebirth.

  The unknowns were more horrifying. Qin Feng was not sure where he would be in the future.

  “However, isn’t the concrete foundation that I have now meant to be used against the uncertain future, and to secure higher chances for survivability?”


  Qin Feng clenched his fists.

  Then, Qin Feng removed the snow-white combat fatigues. He put on his dark cape, dark armor, and also a helmet to hide his face.

  Dark abilities shrouded around Qin Feng’s body. His aura had gradually recovered to an untraceable depth, prohibiting probing by others.

  Interestingly, Qin Feng’s experience in the Aether Realm had promoted a sudden spike in his consciousness and he had already achieved consciousness coverage of an A5-tier. Even if the dark runes were not amplified, his high level of consciousness would already suffice to prohibit probing from others.

  Qin Feng flew out from the island and secretly returned to the Dark Citadel.

  ***

  In an office within the Dark Citadel, Fire Phoenix was frowning as she examined the gathered intelligence.

  The opening time of Hell Island for the month of June was about to come, and it was also the commencement time for the Dusk Dragon Auction.

  In previous years, He Tianxing might not necessarily host the auction, but he would still enlist some items for the auction. Now that the Dark Citadel had changed its owner, the Black Alp Overlord had taken away those items instead.

  He had been untraceable for a month and Fire Phoenix was unable to get in touch with him.

  More importantly, he probably did not even want to properly operate the Dark Citadel. He just wanted to loot the place empty and then toss it away!

  A month earlier, Fire Phoenix was still extremely grateful for the presence of the Black Alp Overlord. A month later, the trust that had yet to accumulate was already slowly diminishing.

  “Ay!” Fire Phoenix sighed unconsciously as she was struck by a sudden feeling that she had toward the uncertain future.

  It was at that moment, a dark shadow appeared by the window. It was like that person was already there long ago.

  “Seems like you are not too satisfied with the task assigned by me?” Qin Feng spoke with a calm and casual voice.

  Fire Phoenix instantly stood up from the seat and looked at the person standing beside the window. She tried to hold back her trembling voice as she spoke. “Lord Black Alp, you are back!”


  The voice had a mixture of fear and a slight element of surprise.

  Qin Feng then commanded, “Take care of these items for me!”


  Qin Feng raised his hand and tossed over a spatial rune ring to Fire Phoenix.

  Fire Phoenix unconsciously extended her consciousness to peek inside and saw the shocking amount of energy cores and ability cores within the space!

  All of those were obtained by Qin Feng from the Aether Realm.

  Also, they were mostly A-tier items. The Fengli Organization had developed good progress in selling technology related items, but their core exchange business was still not as good as Wanzhong auction house.

  Not to mention, a tall tree attracts the wind. Afterall, Qin Feng was still not an S-tier, he hoped to not draw too much attention toward himself.

  “Yes, Master, any item you have in mind?” Fire Phoenix asked.

  Certainly, after processing those items, they would be exchanged for items that were required by Qin Feng.

  “Well, acquire as much as possible!”


  Qin Feng presented a list filled with S-tier materials that were extremely rare to find, items as rare as a Dawnstar.

  The Verdant Emperor Saber required more premium materials to advance further. Even with Qin Feng’s wealth, there was no way for him to purchase those items and he could only slowly acquire them.

  “Great!” Fire Phoenix agreed to it. “This can be exchanged during the auction that will take place three months from now. If this is urgent for you, it is also possible to get an instant arrangement!”


  “No, I’ll leave this for you to handle!”


  Qin Feng said so as his body slowly faded into the dark and disappeared without a trace. Fire Phoenix could not even sense Qin Feng’s movements, she could only handle the task given by Qin Feng with reverence.

  Qin Feng hid his shadows but he did not leave. Instead, he changed into a suit of normal combat fatigue and entered into a hotel.

  He planned to rest for a short while. As for the decision to enter the Aether Realm or move on to other places, it would be decided later.

  However, Qin Feng had just finished bathing and rinsing in the hotel, he was then alerted by his communicator.

  It was a surprising mail.

  An image appeared on the mail, showcasing a formal invitation to notify Qin Feng about joining the Human Alliance.

  “What is this? Since when does the Human Alliance have a notice for members to join them?”


  Those who are born within the Human Alliance would automatically be considered part of the alliance. Also, Qin Feng was already considered a Mashal in the Human Alliance. The mail had indeed struck Qin Feng with confusion.

  It was at that moment, Hu San also reached out via communicator.

  “Qin Feng, are you at Fengli City?”


  “Not yet, do you need me to be there now?” Qin Feng understood little about it. The mentioned Human Alliance was definitely not the one he knew!

  “Nevermind, no need to rush. I’ll have someone deliver something to you at Fengli City, just have someone receive it. But you have to contact me beforehand, it will be easier for me to bring you in!”


  Qin Feng looked at the notice. Among the referrals stated, except for Hu San, there was also Nangong Zeming and Beitang Gan.

  All three of them were Qin Feng’s guide.

  Qin Feng’s heart burned with curiosity, he immediately answered, “I will get back to Fengli right now!”


  “Alright, you will understand this as soon as you get the item!”


  Qin Feng called the shots without any hesitation. He pinched a spatial stone into pieces and returned to Fengli City.

  Then, he informed Xue Xingfu and the others to take care of some matters. Half an hour later, he was approached by someone, and a card was handed over to him.

  It was a silver card made from energy materials. But it was actually embedded with spatial runes.

  Unexpectedly, it was like the Battlegod Badge, a spatial teleportation tool. It could lead to an unknown region, and it was not a one-off usage tool.

  Technological advancement of the earth had yet to have such manufacturing skills, all spatial stones were still on one-off usage standards.

  Qin Feng now understood what Hu San meant. No wonder Hu San mentioned that he would understand it as soon as he had gotten the item. It meant that Qin Feng was supposed to enter into the spatial realm.

  Qin Feng did not hesitate at all; he infused his internal energy and activated the card.

  In the next moment, a spatial passage was activated. Furthermore, the entrance was fit for the size of an ordinary human being. Not like those that were previously seen, in a circled black hole or vortex shaped.

  Such a scenario indicated that it was meant to be used by humans.

  Qin Feng took his first step into it!
