Chapter 57 Five Peaks Sect
……
Even though Luo Feng didn't say it explicitly, after doing these karmic things, he immediately felt that the mysterious perception in his body had almost disappeared.
That day, he made up an excuse to go for a walk in the nearby mountains, both as a patrol and as a training exercise.
Of course, this also meant leaving Maoshan Village.
Arriving at the place where the six villages face outwards, Luo Feng looked back and saw that the six villages were scattered on both sides of the mountain, and that generations of people had lived under the shade of the Damao Mountain.
"I'm leaving now. I guess I've finally left the village."
Luo Feng sighed.
As I turned to look ahead, I couldn't help but recall what Germer had said.
"...In the end, there is only one fate for everyone, and that is to die here."
Germer seemed to know something, as if this was the original rule of this world, that letting these people who were completely free from fate come in was to refine them all to death in this world.
Why do this?
Could it be that they harbored a sense of apprehension towards those who transcended fate?
In any case, Luo Feng now felt that this Realm of Control was not meant for them to experience a different life; the most likely explanation was that it was there to kill them.
……
Using the memories of his previous clone 'Dano', Luo Feng walked outwards.
Walking along this mountain path, there were fierce attacks in some places and bandits in some areas, but with Luo Feng's current strength, it was not a problem at all.
Two days later, the clone and the original body reunited.
Luo Feng handed over some of the things he obtained from Adamost to his main body.
Luo Feng himself took the silver sword and twirled it a couple of times, finding it quite handy: "Swords and sabers are of the same origin. For me, using a saber is the same as using a sword."
There were also some pills given to the main body.
The scales that the main body carried were given to the clone.
"I'm leaving." Luo Feng symbolically bid farewell to his true self, and then headed alone towards the "Great Market Town".
Going with me won't do any good.
If a crisis occurs, the true form's strength is of no use at all; having great strength is like hitting cotton wool for the enemy.
Rather than following the dangers, it's better to stay hidden in these mountains. With nothing else to do, I can deduce some things suitable for clone cultivation, which would be excellent.
It took another two days.
Luo Feng's view opened up, revealing what was known as the "large market town".
Actually, this should only be considered a town, or a small town.
The building density is very high, and the style is no longer wooden houses. Some have even been built in the style of palaces and castles. At a glance, large areas are residential areas.
That area with a large number of buildings has an inner and outer distinction.
There was a layout similar to a city, with walls piled up all around. The buildings inside were more uniform, regular, and magnificent in style, while those outside appeared scattered and messy.
This large market town is divided into an inner city and an outer city. According to my memory, there are quite a few experts in the Awakening Realm in the inner city, and the city lord seems to be one of the experts at the next higher level.
Having officially entered the territory of this large market town, Luo Feng arrived at a street.
There were many vendors hawking their wares on the street, and a row of shops on both sides.
"These people from the outer city like to bully people from the mountains. Even though I don't look like someone from the village, I still have to be careful."
In this dog-eat-dog world, bullying is everywhere.
Many of his clothes came from Adamostel; they weren't just coarse cloth garments, but rather clothes that made him look like someone of high status.
He paused for a moment.
Thinking of the words "Five Peaks," Luo Feng felt that if he wanted to grow up safely, he still had to hide himself.
What he urgently needs now is to find a place where he can learn to read. He doesn't need a teacher; as long as there are some introductory books, he can learn on his own.
Walking down the street, listening to the conversations in the surrounding language, I realized it was the same language as that of Maoshan Village.
After walking for about ten minutes, they ventured deeper into a street and alley. Seeing Luo Feng's youthful appearance, some women standing by house doors, dressed in flamboyant attire, cast flirtatious glances at him.
"Brother Dazhuang, want to come in as a guest? It's cheap, only three yuan a night."
Luo Feng remained unmoved.
However, some people went straight up and grabbed Luo Feng, and only became more obedient after being frightened by the aura emanating from Luo Feng.
"This world," Luo Feng shook his head.
Every world, as long as it is divided into men and women, is actually the same. It is something engraved in the genes of life, which will guide social changes and give rise to many things.
Moreover, the place they are in doesn't seem like a prosperous and thriving area; rather, it's like a chaotic place in its early stages of development, where some people can only make a living through such means.
Otherwise, they would be like the villagers of Maoshan Village, living by hunting deep in the mountains.
Luo Feng saw a bookstore and immediately went inside.
An elderly man sat at the bookstore counter. His eyes were cloudy and blurry, making him look like a blind man. But he could see Luo Feng, so he immediately straightened his hunched back and stood up to greet him.
"Boss, do you have any books that teach people to read?" Luo Feng asked directly.
"Yes," the old man replied with a smile, though the smile seemed somewhat forced.
He couldn't tell at all that Luo Feng was from the mountains; he just assumed he wanted to buy a kid.
He walked with a slight limp, rummaged around on a bookshelf for a while, and finally brought out three books, each about five centimeters thick, for Luo Feng.
The books were covered in dust, crumpled, and some of the writing was blurred.
It's clear that this old shop hasn't been open for a long time.
Luo Feng opened it and took a look. It was all pictographic characters. You could recognize the words by the pictures. There were also some pronunciation instructions. It didn't seem too difficult.
"One coin in total," the old man said with a smile.
The money here is not the "stone" found in Maoshan Village. It is a metal, seemingly something specially circulated for management purposes.
Luo Feng has quite a few of these spatial treasure bottles, all left behind by Adamostel.
Luo Feng took out a coin, handed it to the old man, and then left with the books.
The old man returned to his seat, watched him leave, then took out several colored pens and paper, and drew a picture of Luo Feng.
In less than ten minutes, a clear portrait was drawn.
……
As the sky darkened in the distance and evening approached, Luo Feng, having left the bookstore, found a nearby inn to stay in.
Upon entering the room, he took out the three thick books. As an old monster who had lived for countless years, Luo Feng learned languages and writing very easily, almost to the point that he could learn them after just one glance.
After reading through the three books, I have completely mastered the basics of writing and language.
Then, Luo Feng took out some books from his spatial bottle—
"The Five Peaks Sect, the largest sect in Peak Continent?... It governs the entire area of Peak Continent, spanning tens of thousands of miles..."
After reading the contents, Luo Feng understood that the "Five Peaks" token in his hand was the symbol of Maoshan Village, where Adamostel controlled Damao Mountain.
As the largest sect in Fengzhou, the Five Peaks Sect, which controls the entire Fengzhou, is far more powerful than he imagined.
