Chapter 1085 – Chu Feng's Return
"Xian Kun, prepare yourself to set off. It is about time for us to proceed to the next Elf Domain." Seeing that everyone no longer bothered to question anything, the Elf Princess spoke.
"Lady Princess, did you not manage to sense the Ancient Era's Immortal Flower from this domain either?" Seeing this, Xian Kun asked.
"If the Ancient Era's Immortal Flower is that easily found, it would not be classified as an Extinct Treasure." Said the Elf Princess coldly.
"Lady Princess, are you to leave now? This subordinate has prepared a sumptuous feast for you." Asked the Southern Elf Lord.
"Oh? There's a feast? In that case, I'll leave after eating." Hearing the word 'feast,' the Elf Princess's eyes immediately shined. The coldness she displayed earlier was gone, in its place was the innocence of a little girl.
Upon seeing the Elf Princess removing her cold expressions from before and turning into an innocent and adorable girl, the Southern Elf Lord and the others heaved sighs of relief. They truly feared this Lady Princess of theirs; especially when she turned to her mature appearance.
After this, the Southern Elf Lord and the others knew very well that they would have to drop this matter and not try to use any methods to hide what had happened. After taking a glance at Yuan Qing and the others below the ocean of mist, although they felt unwilling in their hearts, they had no choice but to leave one by one. They decided to not care about this matter, not care about how much the humans and the monstrous beasts would spread what had happened here.
At this moment, Chu Feng was still within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. After a long time, he gradually regained consciousness. By the time he fully regained consciousness, the water ripple that bundled him had already disappeared. Seeing his undamaged body, he felt confused.
"My body actually fully recovered? Eggy, did you did this?" Chu Feng asked.
"I didn't do it. It seemed like someone else was secretly helping you." Eggy shook her head.
"Someone else?" Hearing those words, Chu Feng's gaze flashed. He entered into deep thought. However, he was unable to figure out who it might be that secretly helped him.
"Forget about these things for now. How do you feel? Earlier, you nearly scared me to death."
"Is the power of those Divine Lightnings that difficult to control? If you do not have the assurance, then don't randomly use such a thing. Do you not know how dangerous that is?"
"Did you not know that a lot of people died from the recoil of trying to use powers that they had no control over? This sort of death is called 'catching fire, besieged by demons'; it is a death caused by cultivators overestimating their abilities." Eggy reprimanded Chu Feng sternly.
Eggy's tone was a bit emotional. However, Chu Feng was able to tell that she was worried about his safety, feared that something might've happened to him. Thus, Chu Feng forced a smile and said, "I merely felt that I was able to emit the five Divine Lightnings in my blood out of my body. Never did I imagine that they would be that powerful. Not only was I unable to control them, I was nearly devoured by them."
"It appears that while the power of the Divine Lightnings are extremely powerful, they are not something that the current me could touch. At the very least, my current body is incapable of withstanding the power of the Divine Energies rushing out of my body."
"There's no need for you to try to show off. That is your bloodline's power. When the time is right, you would naturally be able to control it. It's just like the Thunder Armor and Thunder Wings that you currently grasped. Aren't you able to use them skillfully and easily?"
"I believe that once your cultivation becomes stronger, you would be able to comprehend even more new powers. To be honest, even your Lady Queen here is beginning to envy your special bloodline, because the more frightening your bloodline is,the more powerful your potential is."
"Think about it, such a frightening power would be easily wielded by you in the future. The you then, can you imagine how frightening of an existence you would be?" Seeing that Chu Feng was feeling a bit depressed, Eggy consoled him.
The unspoken meaning behind Eggy's words was very clear; she did not want Chu Feng to touch upon the power of the Divine Lightnings again. At the very least, before he had a certain level of assurance, he should not touch it.
No matter how strong the Divine Lightnings were, they were still Chu Feng's bloodline. As long as Chu Feng was able to increase his cultivation to a certain level, the power of the Divine Lightnings would, sooner or later, be his.
"Mn. It appears that I cannot use the power of the Divine Lightnings for the time being. However, sooner or later, I would completely master it." Chu Feng nodded. His body then moved. He began to quickly leave this place.
At this moment, the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was soon to close. No one was allowed to enter the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond anymore. As for Yuan Qing, he already came to know that Qin Guang had never reappeared ever since he entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's depths alongside him.
However, Yuan Qing did not care about Qin Guang's life or death at all. All he knew was that he had become the hero in the hearts of everyone present. He had become the sole human since history that had triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
With merely this achievement of his, he would definitely receive special treatment upon entering the Cyanwood Mountain and be especially cultivated by them. His future was simply as bright as it could be.
However, although he could ignore Qin Guang's life and death, he cared deeply about Chu Feng's life and death. Unable to help himself, he cast his glance to Elder Gongsun and them. With a very mocking tone, he said, "This Elder, I remember that your Southern Cyanwood Forest also has a disciple that entered into the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. How come I don't see him?"
Upon hearing what Yuan Qing said, the unsightly expression Elder Gongsun currently had grew even uglier.
During the time when everyone was celebrating, they from the Southern Cyanwood Forest did not join the celebration crowd. That was because the time limit of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's opening was soon to end and Chu Feng still had yet to appear. This caused them extreme worry. After all, the dangers within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond were not limited to merely its terrifying pressure, there were also dangers from other people.
Especially upon recalling how this Yuan Qing held grudges toward Chu Feng to begin with and how powerful he was, where even the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was triggered by him; if he was to do something to Chu Feng in the Immortal Pond, then it would likely not be a light matter for Chu Feng.
Thus, when Yuan Qing turned to them and spoke those words, the suspended hearts of Elder Gongsun and the others instantly fell to the floor. They all felt that Chu Feng might have encountered an accident.
"That's right, how come that Chu Feng hasn't appeared yet?"
"Could it possibly be that he was unable to withstand the pressure within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and stubbornly persisted in doing so, only to fail and die in the Immortal Pond?"
"There's truly such a possibility. Every year, there are people who die in the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. It would appear that this year, the person who died there would be the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Chu Feng."
Hearing what Yuan Qing said, the people from the Southern Cyanwood Forest became even more worried. Actually, when Yuan Qing said those words, everyone present was reminded of Chu Feng. However, when they recalled Chu Feng this time around, there was not the slightest bit of sympathy. Furthermore, no one stood on Chu Feng's side.
That was because, at this moment, Yuan Qing was their hero. And what about Chu Feng? At the very most, he would be a youngster with pretty decent talent. Thus, if the two of them were to have a quarrel, they would naturally stand behind Yuan Qing without the slightest hesitation.
Earlier, the words spoken by Yuan Qing at the Southern Cyanwood Forest contained some hint of ridicule. It was something that many people picked up. Thus, at this moment, many of the surrounding people who originally did not have any grudges with Chu Feng also began to mock and ridicule Chu Feng for not appearing now.
Faced with the mockery and ridicule from the crowd, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Elder Gongsun and the disciples were gnashing their teeth in anger. However, because their opponent was numerous and they were no match for the Orion Monastery, they did not dare to openly voice their anger and could only swallow it.
Seeing the depressed expressions on Elder Gongsun, Wang Wei and the other disciples, Yuan Qing became even more complacent. He coldly snorted and then loudly said, "Did you all see this? This is what it means to overestimate one's capabilities. Everyone, you must learn from this and not repeat the failures of that brat called Chu Feng."
"That's right. Although cultivation is precious, one's life is even more precious. We must all love our lives and not do things that overestimate one's capabilities like giving away one's life." The crowd also shouted in agreement.
"It would appear that a lot of people wished for my death."
"Regretfully, I might have to disappoint you all." Right at the moment when everyone felt that Chu Feng had died, Chu Feng's voice was suddenly heard.
Turning to the sound, the crowd saw that a figure was rapidly flying toward them. In the end, he landed among the crowd. This person was none other than Chu Feng.

Chapter 1086 – Straight To The Main Topic
"Chu Feng!!!"
"Junior brother Chu Feng, it's truly a blessing that you're alright!!!"
When they saw Chu Feng, Elder Gongsun, Wang Wei and the others that were previously filled with grief and indignation, displayed ecstatic smiles.
That moment when they had determined that Chu Feng might be dead, that their Southern Cyanwood Forest's hope might be extinguished, Chu Feng arrived before them, alive and kicking. This was truly a pleasant surprise to them, causing them to be extremely excited and overjoyed.
"This guy is actually alive. Could it be that Qin Guang…" Compared to the joy of the people from the Southern Cyanwood Forest, Yuan Qing's expression turned ugly.
"Elder Gongsun, senior martial brothers and sisters, I lost my direction in the depths of the Immortal Pond. That's why I came out from a different location. I am truly sorry for worrying you all." Chu Feng saluted to Elder Gongsun and the others with a smile on his face. Using this opportunity, he also gave an explanation as to why he came out from a different location.
"It's all good that you're fine, it's all good that you're fine." As for Elder Gongsun, he simply did not care why Chu Feng did not come from the center region of the Immortal Pond. Just by seeing that Chu Feng was safe and sound, he was so overjoyed that his heart began to leap.
"Lost your direction? There's that many people that have entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond; how come only you lost your direction? It must be because your strength is too weak, right?" Suddenly, Yuan Qing mocked.
"Oh? Based on what you said, it seemed that I'm the only one who got lost in the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond this year?" Chu Feng said in a confused manner. He then took a glance at the crowd and said.
"Hm, that's weird. Where's your Orion Monastery's Qin Guang? He should have entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond alongside you. How come you're standing here right now but that Qin Guang is nowhere to be seen? Can you guarantee that he hasn't gotten lost like me?"
"You…" Hearing those words, Yuan Qing was unable to retain his composure. He knew very well why Qin Guang had separated from him; it was to chase after and kill Chu Feng.
Yet now, Chu Feng actually appeared safe and sound and Qin Guang still hadn't shown himself. This meant that Qin Guang had most likely encountered mishap within the depths of the Immortal Pond. Although he did not know what sort of methods Chu Feng displayed to defeat Qin Guang, it was obvious that Chu Feng was planning to use Qin Guang's disappearance to strike back at the Orion Monastery, giving him a slap in the face. With this, how could he possibly restrain himself?
"My senior brother Qin Guang is not someone that you could insult." Upon thinking of that, Yuan Qing's long hair started to dance like violent devils. As his long gown fluttered in the wind, a boundless oppressive might crushed towards Chu Feng like a formless, invisible storm. That was Yuan Qing's rank two Martial King's oppressive might.
"Crap." Once Yuan Qing displayed his oppressive might, Elder Gongsun immediately frowned. His expression took a huge change as he knew that Yuan Qing was planning to use some trick.
This place was the territory of the Ancient Era's Elves and one of their rules stated that they would not allow humans or monstrous beasts to wantonly fight in this place.
Yuan Qing clearly knew about this. However, he also wanted to teach Chu Feng a lesson. Thus, he displayed his oppressive might in hopes of suppressing Chu Feng.
Yuan Qing's oppressive might was sent toward Chu Feng head on. Although the Ancient Era's Elves were unable to detect it, all the people present were able to sense it.
If this happened earlier, perhaps someone might've stopped Yuan Qing for using a method against Chu Feng. Someone might've even come out to expose him. However now, Yuan Qing was the hero in the eyes of everyone. The people wished to kiss his ass, so how could there possibly be anyone who would care about what he does?
Not to mention that no one would care about what he did, if Elder Gongsun was to act at this time, it might even cause the others to make a false accusation against him, saying that he, as an elder, was bullying a junior and used his oppressive might to attack Yuan Qing. At that time, it would not only be him who would be in trouble. The entire Southern Cyanwood Forest might not be able to escape the Orion Monastery's retaliation.
Thus, in an instant, Elder Gongsun was stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand was Chu Feng's safety and on the other, was the Southern Cyanwood Forest's safety.
"Boom."
Right at the moment when Elder Gongsun was hesitating, a devastating oppressive might was shot out from Chu Feng's body. When Chu Feng's oppressive might appeared, it actually directly canceled out Yuan Qing's oppressive might.
"This Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple is actually a rank one Martial King?" Seeing the scene that had suddenly unfolded before them, all the people present were surprised. Especially after they felt Chu Feng's cultivation from his oppressive might, the crowd was even more shocked.
He was a rank one Martial King. Although, before a rank two Martial King like Yuan Qing, a rank one Martial King could not be considered to be that much of a genius, but a rank one Martial King could still be considered somewhat of a genius. Especially when this genius came from the Southern Cyanwood Forest. This caused everyone to have a whole new level of respect for Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, you've reached a breakthrough?" When even the bystanders were surprised by Chu Feng's cultivation, there was no need to mention how excited Elder Gongsun and the others from the Southern Cyanwood Forest were.
Although they knew that Chu Feng possessed a method to raise his cultivation, it was clear that Chu Feng was not using that method right now. Yet, his rank one Martial King's aura was as real as it could be. This meant that Chu Feng must've had a breakthrough.
"I got pretty lucky and managed to break through in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond." Faced with the gazes of surprises from his fellows, Chu Feng replied with a smile of assurance.
"Hahaha. Great, this is truly great." When Chu Feng confirmed that he had broken through, the smiles on Elder Gongsun and the others blossomed.
Although the matter of Yuan Qing triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was bad news to them, Chu Feng's breakthrough to the Martial King level was definitely a good news.
Right at the moment when everyone was surprised by Chu Feng's cultivation, Yuan Qing had a very ugly expression on his face. No matter what, he was a rank two Martial King. Moreover, he was not an ordinary rank two Martial King. Instead, he was a rank two Martial King that even rank three Martial Kings were inferior to.
However, his oppressive might was canceled out by Chu Feng's rank one Martial King's oppressive might. This was naturally a very humiliating matter.
However, after the exchange with Chu Feng earlier and recalling what had happened within the Immortal Pond, Yuan Qing began to have restraining fear of Chu Feng. Thus, although he was very unwilling, he did not attack Chu Feng again. Instead, he symbolically gathered people and arranged them to search for the whereabouts of Qin Guang in and around the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
As for the result, it was very obvious. Qin Guang had already been killed by the Ancient Era's Elves, so how could he possibly be found? Thus, regardless of whether the Orion Monastery was willing to or not, the fact that Qin Guang might've lost his life within the Immortal Pond was something that they must accept.
Just like this, the cultivation journey in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond came to an end. Under the supervision of the Ancient Era's Elves, Chu Feng and the others left the Southern Domain.
When Chu Feng and the others left the Southern Domain, the news of Yuan Qing triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle rapidly spread about.
This caused Yuan Qing to once again become the hero in everyone's eyes and receive rounds upon rounds of cheers and applause. Merely, this time around, it was several hundred million people cheering and applauding.
Right at the time when Yuan Qing became the focus of everyone, at the time when the Orion Monastery's elders and disciples all had complacent smiles on their faces, Sikong Zhaixing held a dejected expression.
For some unknown reason, when it was determined that it was Yuan Qing who had triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, he felt abnormally disappointed. Even the news of Chu Feng's breakthrough was unable to cheer up his spirit.
On their way back, Chu Feng managed to see that Sikong Zhaixing had something in his mind. Thus, he walked toward him, gave a respectful greeting and then said, "Senior Sikong."
"So it's you, Chu Feng. You have truly surpassed my expectations. You actually managed to break through to a rank one Martial King here. According to the agreement that we had before, I would send you alongside Wang Wei and the others to the Cyanwood Mountain this year." When he saw Chu Feng, a gratified smile appeared on Sikong Zhaixing's face.
Chu Feng was now his sole hope. He was also the sole comfort to his endless depression.
"Senior Sikong, you seemed to have something on your mind. Could it be because of Yuan Qing triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle?" Faced with Sikong Zhaixing who was about to shift the subject, Chu Feng suddenly directed straight to the main topic.

Chapter 1087 – To Do A Thingc
"Chu Feng, you actually…" Hearing those words, Sikong Zhaixing was instantly stunned. However, after being silent for a moment, he said.
"Although the Orion Monastery does not make things difficult for our Southern Cyanwood Forest on the surface, I always felt that they wanted to eradicate us. It is merely that they do not have any suitable justification and the proper timing for doing so at this time."
"After all, no matter how weak our Southern Cyanwood Forest has become, we are still a genuine subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain. Even if they wanted to do something to us, they would still need a proper excuse."
"And now, the Orion Monastery's Yuan Qing actually triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Not to mention that Yuan Qing would obtain special treatment after entering the Cyanwood Mountain, even the Orion Monastery would obtain quite a reward. I'm afraid that the Orion Monastery would become even more arrogant in the future. If this continues, I truly do not know when the Orion Monastery might come and attack our Southern Cyanwood Forest."
"However, what I fear the most is still the grudge between you and Yuan Qing. That Yuan Qing is a person with outstanding talent to begin with. Adding on the people the Orion Monastery has in the Cyanwood Mountain; if he wanted to do something to you after entering the Cyanwood Mountain, I'm afraid that you would suffer losses."
"And now he has actually triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle; he will obtain an even better treatment upon entering the Cyanwood Mountain. Thus, what I fear the most is Yuan Qing doing something to you." Saying till this part, Sikong Zhaixing sighed. Without concealing anything, he had expressed all of his depression and worries to Chu Feng.
"If this is the case, then Senior Zhaixing, I believe you could set your mind at ease." Chu Feng said.
"Mind at ease? Chu Feng, you…?" Sikong Zhaixing was confused by Chu Feng's words.
"That Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was not triggered by Yuan Qing. Instead, it was triggered by me." Said Chu Feng with a soft voice. His expression was very natural; his mindset was very calm.
"What? Chu Feng, what did you say? Say it again?" Upon hearing those words, Sikong Zhaixing's expression immediately took a huge change. He was so emotional that he grabbed onto Chu Feng's shoulders with his hands. His current actions were truly deviant from his normal character.
As for Chu Feng, he seemed to have already anticipated Sikong Zhaixing's emotional reaction. Thus, he continued to remain calm and say, neither fast nor slow, "It is actually I who triggered that Ancient Era's Immortal Needle."
"Heavens! Is this for real? Hahaha, this is truly too great, truly too great. I knew it, how could that Orion Monastery's Yuan Qing possibly compare to our Southern Cyanwood Forest's Chu Feng." At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing was overjoyed. He was so excited that his old body started to shiver.
He had no doubt at all about what Chu Feng had said.Simply because he had great trust in him. Since Chu Feng had declared that it was him who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, even if the entire world refused to believe him, he would still believe him. After all, to him, Chu Feng was the sole hope of his Southern Cyanwood Forest.
"Chu Feng, since that Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was triggered by you, why didn't you expose Yuan Qing but instead allowed him to obtain that accomplishment?" After his joyous state passed, Sikong Zhaixing asked.
One must know how magnificent a feat it was to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle and how boundless the benefits one would gain from it. For example, there was reverence from the humans, moreover, the Cyanwood Mountain would focus on cultivating that individual. All of these benefits were supposed to be Chu Feng's. Yet, they were all obtained by Yuan Qing. This brought about great displeasure to Sikong Zhaixing.
"Senior Sikong, this junior has his difficulties." Seeing this, Chu Feng did not try to hide it anymore. Instead, he narrated to Sikong Zhaixing all that had happened in the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
Especially the matter about the Ancient Era's Elves killing Qin Guang and then coming to kill him only to be killed by him instead.
The reason why he didn't acknowledge that it was him that triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was precisely because he feared that the Ancient Era's Elves would come after him. After all, the Ancient Era's Elves were extremely powerful. If the Ancient Era's Elves truly wanted to kill him, not to mention Sikong Zhaixing, even the Cyanwood Mountain would likely not be able to protect him.
"Based on what you said, doesn't it mean that Yuan Qing has a calamity approaching him and would not live for long?"
After hearing what Chu Feng said, Sikong Zhaixing rejoiced in his heart. Although he was the headmaster of the Southern Cyanwood Forest and possessed a very noble status, he still wished for that Yuan Qing who took advantage of Chu Feng's accomplishment to be killed by the Ancient Era's Elves. In other words, he felt what Yuan Qing did to be truly shameless.
"To be honest, I cannot be certain whether the Ancient Era's Elves would kill Yuan Qing or not. The reason why I did not acknowledge that it was me who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was because I feared that a mishap might happen."
"However, never did I expect that a freak combination of factors would turn Yuan QIng into the person who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle in everyone's eyes."
"Truth be told, I am also very furious in Yuan Qing's impersonation. However, when I think about it from another viewpoint, this could also be considered an opportunity for me to use Yuan Qing to examine what exactly the Ancient Era's Elves would do to the human that triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle."
"It would be one thing if they killed Yuan Qing. However, if they let him live and ignore this matter, I will not let Yuan Qing obtain the gains so easily. One day, I will definitely make him vomit out all the advantages that he had picked up from me." Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, you mean?" Sikong Zhaixing seemed to have thought of something.
"If the Ancient Era's Elves doesn't do anything to Yuan Qing, I will personally take care of him."
"I am the one who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. I have the ability to trigger it and this ability is not something that Yuan Qing could impersonate."
"Moreover, isn't there also another Ancient Era's Immortal Needle in the Cyanwood Mountain? As long as I trigger that Ancient Era's Immortal Needle while Yuan Qing cannot, the truth would be revealed to everyone."
"I believe, at that time, not only would Yuan Qing be thoroughly discredited, even the Orion Monastery would be implicated by him. I fear that even without me doing anything, Yuan Qing would find it very difficult to continue to stay in the Cyanwood Mountain. If he were to die afterwards, I am certain that no one would look into it." Said Chu Feng.
"Amazing, truly amazing. Yuan Qing thought that he had picked up a gargantuan advantage but never did he know that he has become your shield. So, everything was within the grasp of your palm. It would appear that I have truly underestimated you, boy."
After hearing what Chu Feng said, Sikong Zhaixing was grinning from ear to ear in extreme happiness. As the headmaster of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, he was a very astute and circumspect person. However, never did he expect that Chu Feng, with his young age, would be a person who thought sofar ahead to exploit the person who took advantage of him.
Sikong Zhaixing began to feel more grateful for how lucky he was, how lucky the Southern Cyanwood Forest was to actually obtain a disciple like Chu Feng. This was most definitely a grace given to the Southern Cyanwood Forest by the heavens.
"Nevertheless, there is most definitely a need for time to observe. At the very least, I would need to observe within the Cyanwood Mountain for a while."
"I know that I would likely be unable to escape humiliation from Yuan Qing in this period of time. However, it's alright. I have already prepared myself. If he was to bully me, then, in the situation where I am unable to strike back, I would endure. However, one day, I will return the humiliation that he has given me tenfold, a hundredfold." When he said till this point, a very cold fierceness flashed past Chu Feng's eyes.
"No. Even during the time when you're observing the reactions of the Ancient Era's Elves, there won't be anyone who will bully you as long as you are able to do this thing." Sikong Zhaixing said.
"Senior Sikong, what is the thing that you're speaking of?" Chu Feng asked in a puzzled manner.
"Wait for me here." Sikong Zhaixing did not answer Chu Feng. Instead, he smiled profoundly, turned around and said something to Elder Gongsun.
After hearing what Sikong Zhaixing said, Elder Gongsun, Wang Wei and the others all bid their farewells to Sikong Zhaixing before leaving the warship to ride another warship to return to the Southern Cyanwood Forest in the leadership of Elder Gongsun.
At this moment, only Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing remained in this warship driven by Sikong Zhaixing. Moreover, Sikong Zhaixing had changed the direction of this warship. It began to rapidly fly toward the north, a direction completely different from the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
"Senior Sikong, where are we going?" Chu Feng was very puzzled by Sikong Zhaixing's actions. Unable to contain himself, he asked.
"Where we're going doesn't matter. The most important thing is that I want you to go and do a thing." Said Sikong Zhaixing.
"What is it?" Chu Feng asked.
"A thing that others cannot accomplish but you might be able to." Replied Sikong Zhaixing.

Chapter 1088 – The Ancestor's Agreement
"Senior Sikong, exactly what is going on?" Chu Feng asked in curiosity.
"Chu Feng, you ought to know who Baili Xuankong is, right?" Sikong Zhaixing answered with a question.
"Of course. Baili Xuankong is our Southern Cyanwood Forest's first generation's headmaster, the founder of our Southern Cyanwood Forest."
"Back then, he was an expert with his name renowned throughout the entire Cyanwood Domain. He is also the senior martial brother of the Cyanwood Mountain's headmaster. In the Cyanwood Mountain, he possessed an exceptionally high status. It was precisely because of the request of the Cyanwood Mountain's headmaster that he created the Southern Cyanwood Forest."
In the past couple days, Chu Feng had learned a lot about the Southern Cyanwood Forest. The first headmaster of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, Baili Xuankong, was most definitely the most heroic and legendary headmaster of the Southern Cyanwood Forest. It could even be said that he was the sole person that the Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciples were intensely proud of. That was because his successive headmasters were much inferior to him.
During the time of Baili Xuankong, the Southern Cyanwood Forest was the strongest among the four Cyanwood Forests. It was so much that the other three Cyanwood Forests simply could not even be mentioned alongside the Southern Cyanwood Forest due to their enormous gap in strength.
However, after his death, the Southern Cyanwood Forest suffered a sudden, devastating decline. Without the protection of this exceptional expert, the successive generations of the Southern Cyanwood Forest became inferior to the one preceding it. Today, the Southern Cyanwood Forest had become pitifully weak and become the laughingstock.
"Chu Feng, you are a very smart and intelligent child. Have you ever thought to yourself that, with the strength that Headmaster Baili and the power that our Southern Cyanwood Forest possessed back then, why did we decline to such a state after his death? There must be a reason to it, right?" Asked Sikong Zhaixing.
"To be honest, junior has indeed thought about this question before. As the saying goes, a camel that is starved to death would still be bigger than a horse. With how powerful Headmaster Baili was before his death, the Southern Cyanwood Forest that he left behind shouldn't have declined to today's state." Chu Feng honestly voiced his opinions.
"That's right. If Headmaster Baili truly wanted to properly operate the Southern Cyanwood Forest, then even though the location where the Southern Cyanwood Forest was constructed is extremely weak, we still should not have declined to today's level."
"As for the reason for the Southern Cyanwood Forest's devastating decline, that was because although Headmaster Baili was powerful, he did not leave behind any inheritance for the Southern Cyanwood Forest nor did he cultivate outstanding descendants. It was so much that even when he was selecting the next headmaster to take over him, he merely randomly chose someone to do that."
"I have even heard that before his death, he even especially told his friends that regardless of how devastating of a state the Southern Cyanwood Forest would end up in, they are not to extend any helping hand. However, he also asked his friends to not let the Southern Cyanwood Forest perish. He even especially mentioned to the headmaster of the Cyanwood Mountain at that time to, regardless of what might happen to the Southern Cyanwood Forest, continue to let it exist."
"That was the reason why, after his death, the Southern Cyanwood Forest received a sudden and devastating decline. Moreover, many of the experts that have come to join the Southern Cyanwood Forest because of Headmaster Baili's fame also left the Southern Cyanwood Forest after his death. Adding on the requests he had made before his death; this was the reason why the Southern Cyanwood Forest has declined to today's level."
"Although the Southern Cyanwood Forest is still in existence, when compared to the glorious days back then, the Southern Cyanwood Forest has become pitifully weak." Said Sikong Zhaixing.
"Such a thing actually happened? Why would Headmaster Baili do such a thing?" Confusion was written all over Chu Feng's face.
"Although Headmaster Baili did not seem to leave anything behind for the Southern Cyanwood Forest, he did leave some things behind." Sikong Zhaixing said.
"What things?" Chu Feng asked.
"You ought to know about the Ascension Sect, right?" Asked Sikong Zhaixing.
"This junior knows. The Ascension Sect is the same as the Orion Monastery. They are one of the Cyanwood Mountain's first-rate subsidiary powers. Moreover, it is said that the Ascension Sect's strength is a bit stronger than the Orion Monastery and is comparable to the Northern, Western and Eastern Cyanwood Forests." Replied Chu Feng.
"Our Headmaster Baili was best friends with the founding sect master of the Ascension Sect. Back then, before his death, Headmaster Baili had created a pagoda in the Ascension Sect. The pagoda is called the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda."
"He had left behind a keepsake at the top of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, and then made a promise with the Ascension Sect's sect master saying that as long as someone from Southern Cyanwood Forest is able to obtain that keepsake in the future, the Ascension Sect is to ally itself with the Southern Cyanwood Forest. Moreover, they are to swear to undergo trials and tribulations, live and die, alongside the Southern Cyanwood Forest."
"At the same time, he also stated that if no one from the Southern Cyanwood Forest is able to obtain that keepsake, then the Ascension Sect is to never provide the Southern Cyanwood Forest a helping hand." Said Sikong Zhaixing.
"So Headmaster Baili had already guessed that the Southern Cyanwood Forest would decline so low?" Chu Feng seemed to have understood something.
"That's right. That's why we say that Headmaster Baili is a true sage. When he created the Southern Cyanwood Forest, he did so all for the purpose of waiting for one exceptional genius, a person who would be able to affect the entire Holy Land of Martialism. It could be said that the Southern Cyanwood Forest was founded all for that person."
"While he was willing to help that person, he was unwilling to help nor develop the Southern Cyanwood Forest. That's why he did not leave behind any of his skills and abilities for the Southern Cyanwood Forest's later generations. This was also why he did not allow his friends to provide assistance to the Southern Cyanwood Forest. Yet, he still demanded for the continued existence of the Southern Cyanwood Forest and left behind such a promise with his best friend."
"His intentions were very clear. While it is true that he did not leave anything for the Southern Cyanwood Forest, he has left behind some assistance to the person that he believed would emerge from the Southern Cyanwood Forest."
"Many people do not understand why Headmaster Baili would do such a thing. The previous me was one of those people. I was completely blind to his intentions and even felt what he did to be superfluous. Yet, the current me now understands him because I eventually came to believe in the words he left behind."
"He said that the Southern Cyanwood Forest would wait for a person that would affect the entire Holy Land of Martialism, only then would the purpose of the existence of the Southern Cyanwood Forest be shown. Likewise, that would also be the time for the Southern Cyanwood Forest to become glorious."
"And now, that person has appeared. That person is you." Sikong Zhaixing looked to Chu Feng. Complicated expressions filled his eyes. It was a kind of entrust, an entrustment of all his hopes onto Chu Feng.
"Senior Sikong, are you bringing me to the Ascension Sect to obtain the keepsake in the Southern Cyanwood Mountain's Pagoda so that the Ascension Sect will become our ally and assist us?" Chu Feng had understood Sikong Zhaixing's intentions.
"Mn, the power the Orion Monastery has in the Cyanwood Mountain is very strong. Even with the rules of the Cyanwood Mountain, you would still suffer if Yuan Qing wanted to do something to you."
"However, if the Ascension Sect is to shield you, the situation would be completely different. That is because the strength of the Ascension Sect in the Cyanwood Mountain is not at all inferior to the Orion Monastery. It could even be said that they're a bit stronger than the Orion Monastery." Said Sikong Zhaixing.
"However, Senior Sikong, after all these years, are you certain that the Ascension Sect would comply to the promise their founding sect master and our founding headmaster made?"
Chu Feng was a bit worried. After all, the gap between the current Southern Cyanwood Forest and the Ascension Sect was too enormous. It was not certain that the Ascension Sect would comply to an oral agreement from their ancestor and ally itself with the Southern Cyanwood Forest. This was especially true considering that Chu Feng had offended the Orion Monastery.
"Actually, even I am unable to determine whether they would comply with the promise. After all, such a long time has passed."
"However, the Ascension Sect is different from our Southern Cyanwood Forest. Ever since the time of their founding sect master, their method of selection for their successive sect masters was very special. The person they would choose would not necessarily be the one with the strongest cultivation. Instead, it would definitely be the one with the best moral conduct."
"Thus, the successive sect masters of the Ascension Sect have always been people with moral conduct greatly approved by others. Thus, even though the Ascension Sect is unrelated to our Southern Cyanwood Forest since the death of our Headmaster Baili, I know that their current sect master still remembers the promise that their ancestor has made with Headmaster Baili." Said Sikong Zhaixing.
"In that case, let's place our trust in Headmaster Baili this time." Chu Feng gave a relieved smile. He no longer bothered to think much about it.
The meaning of his words was very clear. The complicated relationship the Southern Cyanwood Forest had with the Ascension Sect was created by Headmaster Baili. If Chu Feng was able to obtain the keepsake but the Ascension Sect refused to acknowledge their promise, it could only mean that Headmaster Baili had miscalculated. At the very least, he had selected the wrong target to make his promise with.
However, Chu Feng actually trusted Headmaster Baili quite a bit. He felt that this Headmaster Baili was an extraordinary man. As for such sort of extraordinary man, they were generally people with great abilities.

Chapter 1089 – The Ascension Sect's Despise
Although the Ascension Sect was also located in the Cyanwood Domain, it was not located in the north as opposed to the south. Thus, it was very far away from the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
Adding on the fact that the Holy Land of Martialism was an enormous place, even though there were ancient teleportation formations, it still took Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing several days to arrive at the Ascension Sect.
At this moment, Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing had finally entered the territory of the Ascension Sect.
It had a very imposing yet majestic power. The location where the Ascension Sect was set up was in the Ascension Mountain Range.
The Ascension Mountain Range was a very vast and beautiful mountain range. It possessed mountains that pierced into the clouds and very long and unending waterfalls. Most importantly, there was a special kind of bird in this Ascension Mountain Range called the Ascension Bird.
An adult Ascension Bird was able to grow up to ten meters tall. They were not monstrous beasts and could only be considered to be ordinary birds. But they possessed extreme speed and were domesticated as mounts by the Ascension Sect. Therefore, they were considered to be the distinct feature of the Ascension Sect.
At this moment, high up above the continuous mountain range were numerous elegant palaces as far as the eyes could see. Adding on the Ascension Birds that would occasionally fly past them and the vast white clouds that floated above the palaces, this Ascension Sect appeared like a world of immortals from a single glance.
In fact, to ordinary people, the Ascension Sect was simply a land of immortals. As for those people that could train in there, they were all immortals that possessed remarkable abilities.
Although the Ascension Sect possessed a promise with the Southern Cyanwood Forest, it never had any interaction with the Southern Cyanwood Forest in all these years. However, because Sikong Zhaixing was the headmaster of the Southern Cyanwood Forest and possessed the cultivation of a Half Martial Emperor, when they arrived at the Ascension Sect, the elders there greeted them courteously.
"Headmaster Sikong, ever since you had visited our Ascension Sect seventy-eight years ago, this is the second time that you've come to our Ascension Sect. You truly are an infrequent visitor."
The person who received Sikong Zhaixing and Chu Feng was a management elder. Although he was only a management elder, he also possessed the cultivation of a Half Martial Emperor. Adding on the fact that his status in the Ascension Sect was very high, he did not treat Sikong Zhaixing with a great amount of reverence. Instead, he treated Sikong Zhaixing amiably as someone standing on equal footing.
"Ah, Elder Zhou, your memory is truly excellent. At that time, Elder Zhou was only a Martial Lord. Yet now, you're already a Half Martial Emperor. This sort of progress truly causes this old one to blush with shame." Sikong Zhaixing bitterly laughed in a slightly self-mocking manner.
"That's true. At that time, I was merely a lowly disciple. And now, I have managed to become a management elder. However, it is all thanks to the cultivation from our Ascension Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to obtain my current accomplishments." Said Elder Zhou in a slightly proud manner.
"Although that might be the case, it still required for Elder Zhou to possess exceptional talent. Otherwise, no matter how much they put forth to cultivate you, it would still be impossible for you to reach the Half Martial Emperor level." Sikong Zhaixing continued to complement Elder Zhou.
"What Headmaster Sikong said is true too. Of my generation's disciples, I am indeed the one that's the most outstanding." Being praised by Sikong Zhaixing in such a manner, the complacent expression on Elder Zhou's face became even more pronounced. As for his attitude toward Sikong Zhaixing, it also became a lot friendlier. He even took the initiative to ask.
"Headmaster Sikong, I know for sure that you're a person that doesn't visit a place without a cause. May I know what brought you to our Ascension Sect today?"
"If there's something you need, just tell me. Although I am only a management elder right now, I could still be considered to possess some strength. If there's anything that I could help with, I definitely will."
"Since Elder Zhou said it like this, then I shall not beat around the bush either. Actually, the reason I've come here today is for the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda." Sikong Zhaixing did not bother to keep Elder Zhou in suspense; he directly mentioned his purpose in coming.
"Oh? The Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda?" Hearing those words, Elder Zhou's eyes flashed. He then said, "If my memory is correct, Headmaster Sikong had come to our Ascension Sect last time for the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda too."
"However, it seemed that the disciple you had brought with you that time had failed. Do you plan to have this disciple try this time around?" Evidently, Elder Zhou knew about the meaning behind the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. Thus, he cast his gaze toward Chu Feng.
"Oh? Rank one Martial King. He is indeed much more outstanding than the disciple you brought with you back then. At the very least, his age is much younger." Upon inspecting Chu Feng, Elder Zhou displayed a slightly surprised expression in his eyes.
"We have indeed come for the purpose of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. Might Elder Zhou be able to…" Headmaster Sikong appeared to be somewhat reserved. Although the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was something the Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestor had left behind, it was, after all, situated in the Ascension Sect's territory right now. If the Ascension Sect was to refuse to allow them to enter, there would be nothing that he could do. Thus, the current Sikong Zhaixing was truly using a pleading-for-a-favor kind of tone and lowered his tone by three degrees.
"My, Headmaster Sikong, what sort of words are those? Although I am only a management elder, I still know about the promise between our ancestors. Headmaster Sikong, please follow me." Elder Zhou smiled and then turned around to lead the way.
Seeing that Elder Zhou decided to help, Headmaster Sikong heaved a sigh of relief. He then sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng. "Chu Feng, the Ascension Sect is different from the Orion Monastery. Although this matter is a promise that our ancestors have set up, it remains that we have come to ask for a favor of them."
"Adding on how many years have passed. It is also not the first time that our Southern Cyanwood Forest has brought people here for the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. Yet, till this date, no one was able to obtain the keepsake from the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. Thus, it would be normal for the Ascension Sect to look down upon us."
"Unless you're able to obtain the keepsake, they would forever look down upon us. Thus… if they were to make things difficult for us later, that would also be normal. We…"
"Senior Sikong, this junior understands. When standing below eaves, one has no choice but to lower one's head. This junior knows when to endure when he should. However, at times when I should not endure, this junior definitely won't. I have both a baseline and my own honor." Chu Feng knew what Sikong Zhaixing wanted to tell him — he wanted to have him contain his temperament.
"Mn." Hearing Chu Feng's response, Sikong Zhaixing did not bother to say anything else.
Under the guidance of Elder Zhou, Chu Feng finally saw the so-called Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. It was a very ordinary ancient pagoda. At the very least, when looking from the surface, it appeared to be very ordinary. However, Chu Feng knew that this ancient pagoda was very extraordinary; it was a very enormous and powerful formation that contained a very formidable power.
Moreover, at this time, the enormous formation was already being utilized by someone, causing an enormous formation to be extended out from the ancient pagoda.
At this moment, there were ninety-nine formation cores on top of that enormous formation. Those formation cores were able to acquire the energy from within the ancient pagoda. After being refined by the enormous formation, the energy derived from the ancient pagoda could be used to temper and train the body.
At this moment, within the ninety-nine formation cores sat ninety-nine youngsters.
There were both males and females amongst this group of youngsters. All of them possessed very powerful strength, being practically all Martial Kings. Three among them even possessed the cultivation of rank three Martial King. Without even thinking, Chu Feng knew that these ought to be the core disciples of the Ascension Sect. Judging from their quality, they seemed to be a bit stronger than the Orion Monastery's disciples.
It was evident that the Ascension Sect was using the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda constructed by Headmaster Baili to train and develop their disciples.
However, this was something that Chu Feng could tolerate. After all, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was set up within the Ascension Sect's territory. As it contained such powerful energy within it, it was pardonable for the Ascension Sect to try to make use of it.
However, what he could not tolerate was that the door to the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was left wide open. This meant that not only did the Ascension Sect's people use the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda to train, they could even enter and leave the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda as they wished.
This sort of behavior was disrespectful to the Southern Cyanwood Forest. It was truly a bit excessive.
However, upon considering their current situation, Chu Feng decided to endure it and did not say much about it. Instead, he cast his gaze to Sikong Zhaixing.
When he looked to Sikong Zhaixing, he discovered that Sikong Zhaixing's expression was also unsightly. Moreover, Chu Feng was able to tell that the formation was created not too long ago. Thus, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda being used by the Ascension Sect's disciples to train was clearly something that Sikong Zhaixing didn't know either.
However, at this moment, that Elder Zhou completely disregarded the feelings of Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing. With a very indifferent tone, he said, "Oh, I almost forgot. This time is the training time for our Ascension Sect's core disciples. Please wait a moment longer."

Chapter 1090 – Do You Dare To Enter?
"Elder Zhou, how long are we to wait?" Asked Sikong Zhaixing.
"Before dusk should do." Replied Elder Zhou.
"Before dusk?" Hearing those words, Chu Feng was stunned. One must know that the sun has just risen. To wait till dusk, won't that be waiting for an entire day?
"Elder Zhou, we merely need to enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. We would not affect their training; can we not enter it now?" Chu Feng asked.
"I'm afraid you cannot. Once this formation is activated, they cannot be agitated at all. If they are to be agitated, it would be very easy for them to damage their bodies. That is not a responsibility I could bear." Elder Zhou refused in a very firm manner.
At this moment, Chu Feng wanted to say something more. However, before he could say anything, Sikong Zhaixing rushed to say. "During training, one's safety is the most important. We can wait here."
"Mn, Headmaster Sikong is very reasonable. Since this is the case, you two can continue to wait here. I still have matters to take care of, so I cannot keep you two accompany."
After Elder Zhou said those words, he waved his large sleeve and left. Before he left the place, he even cast a glance at Chu Feng. It was clear that he felt a bit unhappy by what Chu Feng said earlier.
"It's one thing for their Sectmaster to not come and greet us, but for a mere management elder to be this arrogant. Sigh, your Southern Cyanwood Forest is truly looked down upon by others." At this moment, Eggy was unable to watch by idly anymore and spoke out.
"Rest assured. Since I have entered the Southern Cyanwood Forest, I am now a disciple of the Southern Cyanwood Forest. There will definitely be a day that I will make these people who look down upon our Southern Cyanwood Forest regret their deeds." Said Chu Feng.
"Heh, I know about your abilities. As long as your growth continues, what could a mere Ascension Sect like this be worth."
"But I truly do not understand that old fart by the name of Baili Xuankong. Wouldn't it be fine if he directly taught the Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciples his skills and techniques? Why must he make things so troublesome?" Said Eggy in a very puzzled manner.
"Perhaps this might be the brilliance of Senior Baili. Perhaps even he is uncertain whether the Southern Cyanwood Forest could wait till the day where the person he hoped to appear would appear. That might be the reason why he did not develop the Southern Cyanwood Forest excessively."
"The reason why he made all these things this troublesome is actually pretty simple. It's not that he did not leave anything behind; instead, all that he had left behind is only obtainable by the person that he was waiting for." Chu Feng said.
"Heh, very well. Your Lady Queen will await your performance. I hope that you do not disappoint that old fart Baili Xuankong. Hehe…" Eggy laughed sweetly and then stopped speaking anymore.
After this, Chu Feng began a long journey of wait with Sikong Zhaixing.
Due to the fact that this place was a forbidden area where ordinary elders and disciples were not allowed to enter, their wait turned out to be pretty quiet and comfortable.
Finally, the sun began to set toward the west. A blazing color of sunset began to appear from the western horizon.
At this moment, those ninety-nine disciples from the Ascension Sect whose eyes were closed began to open their eyes. The formation stopped, their training was complete.
"Who are you two? Why are you here?" When they saw Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing, surprised expressions appeared in their eyes. However, soon, the surprise was replaced with alertness.
"Little friends, this old one is the Southern Cyanwood Forest's headmaster, Sikong Zhaixing. As for him, he's my disciple, Chu Feng." Introduced Sikong Zhaixing.
"Oh? So it's actually the headmaster of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, Senior Sikong. Is there something that brought you two here?"
Upon knowing Sikong Zhaixing's identity, the attitudes of these disciples became a bit better. At the very least, they were not that alert anymore. However, their tones did not contain any trace of respect towards one's elders. It appeared much like they were talking with someone of their generation.
"Little friends, we have come here so that my sect's disciple Chu Feng could enter into the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda to retrieve an item." Sikong Zhaixing said.
"Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda? Senior Sikong, might you have been mistaken? This Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda is our Ascension Sect's forbidden area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter it." A rank two Martial King male said.
"What? Your Ascension Sect's forbidden area? Could it be that your Sectmaster has not informed you all of who it was that constructed this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda? Could it be that you all cannot see the name of the pagoda, Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda?" Seeing this, Chu Feng asked with a loud voice.
"Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda is constructed by your Southern Cyanwood Forest's first headmaster, Baili Xuankong. However, what does this have to do with your Southern Cyanwood Forest?" That same male asked in response.
"Since this place is constructed by our Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestors, it is naturally our Southern Cyanwood Forest's possession." Chu Feng responded.
"Those words you've spoken are mistaken. The treasures in this world are countless. However, regardless of who created the treasures, the ownership lies in who possessed those treasures."
"Currently, this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda is located in our Ascension Sect and not in your Southern Cyanwood Forest. For you to say that this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda is yours, why don't you go ahead and say that our entire Ascension Sect is yours?" Refuted that disciple with a cold voice.
"That's right. We've seen shameless before, but never have we seen someone as shameless as you." At this time, the ninety-nine disciples present all displayed displeased expressions and actually began to publicly insult Chu Feng. Moreover, as they spoke, they stood in two rows and blocked the entrance of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
"Little friends, as for who is the owner of this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, it is something that your Sectmaster knows and not something that you all could decide. Today, I have come here after obtaining Elder Zhou's approval. Little friends, I request that you all move aside." Right at this moment, Sikong Zhaixing spoke out.
At this moment, his tone was no longer as good-natured as before. It even contained a trace of anger. That was because he did not expect that while the elders here did not make things difficult for them, the disciples actually did.
With the difference between these disciples and his strength and status, they should not have done something like this. Yet, they actually used sophistry to declare that the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was theirs. This made it so that Sikong Zhaixing was unable to tolerate it anymore.
"Elder Zhou?" Upon hearing the name of Elder Zhou, those disciples were startled. However, they did not become afraid. Instead, they said.
"We cannot merely believe in your words alone. Since you said it's Elder Zhou who brought you here, then go and bring over Elder Zhou. If Elder Zhou truly agreed to let you all in, then we will also step aside and let you in. Otherwise, we will not let you enter into the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda."
"You all…" Hearing those words, even Sikong Zhaixing was thoroughly enraged. However, in the end, he decided to endure. He then turned to Chu Feng and said, "Wait for me here. I will be right back."
After he finished saying those words, Sikong Zhaixing's body moved and flew out. He had most likely gone to find Elder Zhou.
"Chu Feng, look at what sort of moral conduct these disciples possess. That Elder Zhou ought to know about them. For him to not explain to them and bring you two here and leaving right after, in my opinion, he is deliberately making things difficult for you two."
"As expected, this Ascension Sect is not that easy to deal with. Let's not talk about whether they will comply with their ancestor's promise after you've obtained the keepsake, they are refusing to even give you the opportunity to obtain the keepsake." Eggy said.
"It's alright, I have my means." Chu Feng lightly smiled. A chilliness flashed through his eyes. Then, he waved his sleeve, fluttering his gown and brought forth a majestic golden spirit formation. With a few more movements from Chu Feng, an enormous spirit formation palace appeared outside of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
"What is that guy doing?" The disciples of the Ascension Sect were surprised by Chu Feng's actions.
"Hey! Stop your movements! What do you take this place to be? You must know that this place is our Ascension Sect's forbidden area, not somewhere that you can casually create spirit formations at." There were even people who began to directly criticize Chu Feng and even had intentions to act to stop him.
However, Chu Feng completely ignored them. Only when he completely finished the construction of his spirit formation palace did he walk to the gate of the palace and say while pointing to the group of Ascension Sect's disciples, "You bunch of trash who believe yourself to be infallible, do you dare to enter?"

Chapter 1091 – I Will Kill You All
"Fuck, you son of a bitch, who did you say was trash?!" Hearing what Chu Feng said, the Ascension Sect's disciples that were angered to begin with became enraged with gritted teeth.
"It's precisely you all that I called trash. If you have the courage, then come in here." Chu Feng laughed mockingly. Without bothering to say anything else, he directly walked into the spirit formation palace. Before he entered the palace, he even displayed his middle finger to those Ascension Sect's disciples.
"Yoh, you think you can scare us?" At this moment, some of the Ascension Sect's disciples realized Chu Feng's intentions — he wanted to bring them into his spirit formation and then beat them up.
"Truly one who is courting death. Since you want to die this badly, I shall help you accomplish your goal." However, how could the Ascension Sect's disciples who were looking down upon Chu Feng since the beginning possibly fear Chu Feng?
The ninety-nine Ascension Sect's disciples who had blocked the entrance to the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, regardless of whether they were males or females, all set off and entered into the spirit formation palace created by Chu Feng.
After seeing that they have all entered into the spirit formation palace, Chu Feng sealed off the entrance of the palace with a thought, trapping these Ascension Sect's disciples within his spirit formation palace.
Although all of the Ascension Sect's disciples took note of it, they did not care much about it. That was because they have entered this place precisely to teach Chu Feng a lesson.
"Brat, I do not beat up those who are nameless. Speak your name." Suddenly, a rank one Martial King level male pointed at Chu Feng and said.
"Woosh." However, right at this moment, Chu Feng's body suddenly moved. He instantly arrived before that male, raised his hand into a fist and directly smashed that man down to the ground.
"You…" This sudden scene completely stunned those disciples from the Ascension Sect. Although the man was also a rank one Martial King like Chu Feng, he was nevertheless a core disciple of the Ascension Sect and one that was to be sent to the Cyanwood Mountain this year. Thus, neither his battle power nor talent were weak.
However, at this moment, not only was he defeated by Chu Feng with a simple strike, he was even screaming while covering his face with his hands. To be defeated so suddenly and so miserably, had greatly surpassed what these disciples anticipated.
But, they would never have imagined that all of this was merely the beginning. After he defeated this man, Chu Feng moved once again. Like a demon, he arrived before another man. Like the last time, he smashed his fist onto this man's face, beating him to a bloody nose and knocking him flying.
After this, like a flash, Chu Feng began to shuttle through the palace. At the same time, all kinds of screams began to be heard from within the palace. These Ascension Sect disciples who believed themselves to be superior were being knocked to the ground by Chu Feng one after the other. Even though they were prepared for Chu Feng's attack, they were unable to defend against it.
At the beginning, it was merely the rank one Martial King males that were defeated by Chu Feng then, two rank two Martial Kings were defeated. Moreover, they were both defeated with a single fist strike from Chu Feng, unable to counterattack at all.
At this moment, of the ninety-nine Ascension Sect disciples, other than the female disciples who still remained standing, all of the male disciples were lying on the floor and rolling around while holding their bloodied faces.
Most importantly, at this very moment, Chu Feng's oppressive might had covered the entire spirit formation palace. Not only were those men that he had defeated unable to retaliate against him, even these women who were unharmed were unable to withstand the pressure of his oppressive might; they simply did not even have the opportunity to attack Chu Feng.
This spirit formation palace was no ordinary spirit formation palace. It was a formation array, a formation array that could boundlessly increase Chu Feng's oppressive might.
Within this formation array, there was simply no need for Chu Feng to even use his hand. With merely his oppressive might, he was capable of crushing all of these Ascension Sect's disciples to death.
"You, you, you…" At this moment, the female disciples of the Ascension Sect who had previously looked down upon Chu Feng were filled with fear.
A rank one Martial King was actually capable of defeating rank two Martial Kings with a single strike. Moreover, his oppressive might had pressured them so much that they couldn't even do anything. This truly caused them to be incessantly fearful of Chu Feng.
"Bastard, you actually dared to attack us. Today, don't you dare to leave the Ascension Sect alive." At this moment, a disciple crawled back up from the ground with great difficulty.
That was a rank two Martial King. Earlier, when they were refusing Sikong Zhaixing, this disciple was the one who spoke the most offensive words to them. Thus, when Chu Feng attacked him, he used the most strength.
At this moment, not only was his nose crooked, even one of his incisor teeth was shattered. He truly appeared to be miserable, funny and lamentable.
"Whether I can leave the Ascension Sect alive is not something that you all could decide. However, whether you all could leave here alive, it is something that is up to my decision."
"Do you believe that I would be able to kill you all right now? Moreover, I will make it so that there is not even a corpse of you remaining." Once he said those words, a cold flash shined past Chu Feng's eyes and a layer of boundless killing intent surged forth. Like an invisible hurricane, his killing intent filled the entire spirit formation palace.
"This sort of feeling?!!!"
Upon sensing Chu Feng's killing intent, everyone shivered. After that, none of them dared to say anything. Even that man who had previously threatened Chu Feng shut his mouth. There were even some who were unable to contain themselves and began to violently tremble in fear.
That was because Chu Feng's killing intent was truly too frightening. This sort of killing intent, it was simply impossible for one to obtain unless they had killed a great deal of people and soaked their hands with a great amount of blood.
The number of people that Chu Feng had killed was something that even he could not count. However, these Ascension Sect's disciples present, even if they were to add up all of the people that they had killed, they would still fall short to the amount that Chu Feng had killed.
Thus, at this moment, after Chu Feng said those words and released this sort of killing intent, none of them doubted that Chu Feng would kill them.
"All of you, kneel." Suddenly, Chu Feng knitted his eyebrows and explosively shouted.
Being enclosed by Chu Feng's killing intent, not a single one of these ninety-nine Ascension Sect's disciples actually dared to hesitate. Uniformly, they knelt to the ground. Even those people who were lying on the floor hurriedly crawled back up so that they could kneel before Chu Feng.
Faced with the threat of death, all of them had chosen the path of servitude.
"Heh, look at yourselves. If you're not trash, then what are you all?" As he looked to the Ascension Sect disciples that kneeled before him, especially those male disciples that were beaten bloody by him, Chu Feng sneered.
Being insulted by Chu Feng in such a manner, although the Ascension Sect's disciples were filled with anger, they did not dare to talk back at all. It was so much that they did not even dare to display the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
There was simply a world of difference between the current them and during the time when they were making things difficult for Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing.
"Who exactly are you? We have neither grievances nor hatred with the Southern Cyanwood Forest, why are you treating us like this?" Suddenly, a female opened her mouth and spoke in a very hesitating manner.
She was a rank two Martial King. However, because she was a woman, Chu Feng did not attack her. Thus, her appearance was undamaged. However, before Chu Feng's frightening killing intent, she was already scared witless.
"Who am I? I can tell you all, I am called Chu Feng." Chu Feng coldly smiled. He then said, "Everyone, how about we make a deal?"
"Deal?" Originally, they thought that Chu Feng would kill them. However, to their surprise, Chu Feng suddenly offered them an opportunity to live. Thus, in unison, they asked, "What kind of deal?"
"I believe that you all would definitely not want others to know that you have been beaten by a Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple and even kneeled to me, right?" Chu Feng asked.
"This…" Hearing those words, the disciples of the Ascension Sect were all stunned. It was true, if this matter was to be known, they would've all lost face.
As grand disciples of the Ascension Sect, not only were they defeated by a Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple, they even kneeled to him. Not only would this cause them all to lose face, this would also greatly shame the Ascension Sect.
"How about this. As long as you all do not make things difficult for me, I would not make things difficult for you all either. If you let me enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, I shall keep this matter a secret."
"Of course, if you all are to go against your words, then I would not let things off with merely having you all kneel before me. Instead, I will kill you all."
When he said those words, a flash of coldness once again emerged in Chu Feng's eyes. Although it was merely a flash that disappeared in an instant, it was embedded deeply in the hearts of the Ascension Sect's disciples.

Chapter 1092 – The Madam Sectmaster
After Chu Feng finished saying these words, the faces of the Ascension Sect's disciples were filled with cold sweat.
Having reached this point, although only a very short amount of time had passed, all the Ascension Sect's disciples realized that this Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple by the name of Chu Feng was extraordinary.
He was no ordinary person. If it was to be said that they could be considered to be geniuses, then this person called Chu Feng would likely be an exceptional genius.
At the very least, the strength displayed by Chu Feng made it so that they were completely no match for him.
Thus, after some hesitation, they appeared as if they secretly came to a conclusion and collectively nodded. "Okay, we will promise you that."
"That's more like it." Seeing that they agreed to his demand, Chu Feng removed his oppressive might and his ice-cold killing intent. After that, with a wave of his hand, several medicinal pellets flew out and landed on the hands of those injured males.
He said, "Treat your injuries. Otherwise, I'd assume it would be hard for you all to explain if someone from the Ascension Sect was to discover your injuries."
Humiliation. A total humiliation. What was offering a sweet date1 after a beating? This was it.
However, the disciples of the Ascension Sect did not dare to say anything back to Chu Feng. All they could do was endure the humiliation and obediently eat the medicinal pellets given to them by Chu Feng to treat their injuries.
Only when the injuries of those people were no longer visible did Chu Feng remove his spirit formation palace.
After Chu Feng removed the spirit formation palace, he discovered that Sikong Zhaixing had yet to return. Moreover, no one else had shown up here either.
He waited for two more hours. The sun had set, the sky had turned dark and the candle lights appeared in the Ascension Sect now. However, Sikong Zhaixing still hadn't returned yet.
After waiting for another hour, Sikong Zhaixing finally returned. Returning with Sikong Zhaixing was not Elder Zhou. Instead, it was two skinny elders. These two elders were both Martial Kings. Judging from their clothing, one could tell that they were not management elders and were only ordinary elders.
Moreover, Sikong Zhaixing's current expression was rather unsightly. Evidently, he did not manage to find Elder Zhou and came back discouraged.
"Chu Feng, Elder Zhou had something to take care of. The other elders from the Ascension Sect did not dare to handle this matter. However, they have set up residences for us here. Let's stay here for the night and wait till Elder Zhou finishes his business before coming back to explain the situation to these little friends here." Sikong Zhaixing forced a smile. One could tell that his current mood was extremely bad.
Elder Zhou couldn't be found. The other management elders also couldn't be found. There was even less of a need to mention the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster.
Having reached this state, he had no choice but to admit that the Ascension Sect was doing this on purpose. They were deliberately making things difficult for them. Moreover, they had given them hope before pushing them into the abyss.
Right now, he even began to suspect whether the Ascension Sect would follow their ancestor's promise to help them even if Chu Feng managed to obtain the keepsake.
However, even though this was the case, he still hoped to be able to enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda and obtain the keepsake.
Whether the Ascension Sect would be willing to help them was something that they could not do anything about. Even if the Ascension Sect refused to help them, this only meant that they had gone against their ancestor's promise and not the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
Most importantly, if Chu Feng was able to obtain the keepsake, it would mean that he would, at the very least, be able to accomplish the wish of Baili Xuankong. It would also prove the might of the Southern Cyanwood Forest. Thus, even though the Ascension Sect was deliberately making things difficult for them, Sikong Zhaixing still chose to endure.
"Lord Headmaster, during the time when you were away, I had explained our situation to these senior martial brothers and sisters from the Ascension Sect. They have already understood the situation now and agreed to let us enter into the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda." Chu Feng said with a smile.
"What? They agreed?"
Hearing the words spoken by Chu Feng, it was not only Sikong Zhaixing who displayed an expression of surprise, even the two elders from the Ascension Sect were immensely surprised. They even doubted their ears thinking that they might have misheard.
Thus, they all cast their gazes over to the ninety-nine Ascension Sect disciples. They wished to confirm what Chu Feng had said from them.
"Senior Sikong, we were in the wrong earlier. We would like to offer to you our apologies. Please forgive us." Seeing the situation, the disciples of the Ascension Sect looked to each other and apologized together.
Although they did not directly say it, their behavior already declared everything Chu Feng said to be true.
Their actions caused the two elders of the Ascension Sect to open their mouths agape in shock. They felt that this was extremely unbelievable. As elders of the Ascension Sect, they knew very well what sort of disciples this group of disciples were.
As ordinary Ascension Sect elders, they had often been bullied by these disciples. There were even some disciples who believed themselves to be extraordinary and acted extremely overbearing without putting anyone in their eyes because they're descendants of management elders.
Yet now, these disciples were actually apologizing to Sikong Zhaixing. This was truly an inconceivable thing.
Regardless of what the Ascension Sect's elders might think, Sikong Zhaixing was immensely happy since he was, after all, an experienced elder. After a careful inspection, he discovered that the expressions of these Ascension Sect's disciples were amiss, as if they were unwilling. He then turned his gaze to Chu Feng and saw that he was feigning a calm expression. After that, he seemed to have realized something.
Most certainly, this disciple of his had done something in the dark. However, regardless of what it might be, these Ascension Sect's disciples came to a compromise.
Although the fact that Chu Feng did something to the Ascension Sect's disciples within the Ascension Sect's territory was a very dangerous matter, Sikong Zhaixing was glad to have a disciple like Chu Feng.
"Since little friends have consented to it, then Chu Feng, go ahead and enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda and obtain the item left behind for us by our ancestor." said Sikong Zhaixing.
"As per your orders." Chu Feng saluted to Sikong Zhaixing and then proceeded to walk toward the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
"Wait a moment." However, right at this moment, a voice exploded from the horizon. Following the voice, a figure appeared in the sky.
It was a woman. Although her age was unknown, one thing was certain – she had lived for a very long time. However, regardless of how long she had lived for, her appearance was still in very good shape.
She had sparkling jade-like skin that was as fair as snow. Like a young girl, she had exquisite facial features and a beautiful figure. Her appearance was enough to brighten the eyes of the observers. She was truly a beautiful madam.
Her beauty was not limited to merely a beautiful appearance and her great figure, there was also her mature charm and temperament of someone who had experienced many generations.
However, the matter that brought about the most shock to everyone was most definitely not this woman's appearance. Instead, it would be her cultivation. While her cultivation was unfathomable, it was most definitely above Sikong Zhaixing's.
"We pay our respects to Madam Sectmaster." After seeing this woman, regardless of whether it was the Ascension Sect's elders of the Ascension Sect's disciples, they all hurriedly kneeled down.
"Madam Sectmaster?" When he heard those words, Sikong Zhaixing's eyes shrunk. Involuntarily, unease appeared on his face.
That was because he had heard that the Ascension Sect's sectmaster was a bachelor for many years and had never taken a wife. Yet, two years ago, he suddenly married a woman.
Very few people have seen that woman before. However, it was rumored that that woman was extremely powerful. Not only did she possess tyrannical strength, she even possessed great authority in the Ascension Sect and even changed many of the Ascension Sect's policies.
Most importantly, under the leadership of this Madam Sectmaster, the Ascension Sect had advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming stronger and stronger.
Although the Ascension Sect had been in existence for many years, it was actually only on par with the Orion Monastery two years ago. It was only after this Madam Sectmaster appeared in the Ascension Sect that the Ascension Sect began to surpass the Orion Monastery.
Thus, everyone knew that the Ascension Sect's Madam Sectmaster was a very powerful character.

Chapter 1093 – Bai Ruochen
"Headmaster Sikong, I am familiar with the agreement between our Ascension Sect's ancestor and your Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestor."
"However, it has been a very long time now. Yet, your Southern Cyanwood Forest has failed to obtain the keepsake from the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda all this time. I feel that for you all to come here this time would be nothing more than a waste of time."
"Thus, in my opinion, I don't think you have to come again. In other words, if we were to say it nicely, I suggest you to give up on it for eternity. Or, if we were to say it bluntly, I'm suggesting that you should not bring about your own humiliation anymore." That Madam Sectmaster spoke. While she had a good-natured smile on her face, her words were extremely offensive.
Once this Madam Sectmaster said those words, Sikong Zhaixing immediately started to deeply frown. His expression became unsteady. While he was extremely angry, he did not dare to refute her and could only endure.
This was what it meant by 'when beneath eaves, one has no choice but to lower one's head.' When faced with someone who possessed greater strength and influence, sometimes, you had no choice but to endure, even if your dignity was insulted.
"And how are you certain that our Southern Cyanwood Forest will leave in failure this time too?" Right at this moment, Chu Feng spoke. While Sikong Zhaixing might have misgivings, Chu Feng did not. To Chu Feng, one's dignity must be guarded by oneself.
"Yoh. To actually dare to speak to me like this, you're especially commendable. You're the disciple that is to enter into the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, right? It seems that you're pretty confident in yourself." The Madam Sectmaster inspected Chu Feng and did not display a detestable expression. Instead, she was slightly surprised.
She then turned to Sikong Zhaixing and said, "Headmaster Sikong, for you to bring him here, I believe that you are also confident in him. Since this is the case, how about we make an agreement?"
"What sort of agreement?" Asked Sikong Zhaixing.
"I will allow this disciple of yours to enter into the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. However, this would be the last time."
"If he is able to obtain the keepsake from the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, everything will be fine. If he is unable to obtain it, I wish that you all would stop coming to our Ascension Sect. Moreover, I will change the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda's name to Ascension Sect's Pagoda. From today hence, this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda would be our Ascension Sect's possession. What do you think about this?" Said the Madam Sectmaster with a beaming smile.
"This…" Once he heard those words, Sikong Zhaixing's expression immediately took a huge change. It would be one thing if she was to refuse them, but for her to speak this sort of demand.
This was already no longer an ordinary refusal. Not only was she refusing to allow the Southern Cyanwood Forest to obtain the item that belonged to them to begin with, she wanted to take this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda for themselves and make it so that there would be no relationship between it and the Southern Cyanwood Forest henceforth.
At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing was clenching his fists, causing it to give off cracking sounds. He loathed, loathed himself for being so powerless. It was only because he was that powerless that he was bullied like so.
However, as he was powerless, no matter how much the anger in his heart burned, it would only burn him as he didn't dare to burst outward.
"I agree to your demands." However, finally, after clenching his teeth, Sikong Zhaixing agreed to it.
His way of thinking was very simple. If he agreed to it, there would still be a chance. However, if he was to refuse her demand, there would never be a chance and the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda would have no relation with the Southern Cyanwood Forest anymore. Ascension Sect had the thought to obtain the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda for themselves and this was something that Sikong Zhaixing could not alter unless they could obtain the keepsake within it. Thus, he had no choice but to agree to it.
"Very well. Since this is the case, you can go ahead." Seeing that Sikong Zhaixing had consented to it, the Madam Sectmaster charmingly smiled and then waved her hand at Chu Feng.
"Woosh." However, right at the moment when Chu Feng prepared to set off, a golden light suddenly appeared. It actually sealed off the entrance to the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
When he raised his head to look, he discovered that a figure was rapidly flying over. In the end, that figure landed on top of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
This person was also a female. However, she was a young female. Her white skirt drifted in the wind. Her long hair was soft, black and dark. Her temperament gave off a sensation of a fairy.
Moreover, not only was her temperament outstanding, even her facial appearance was extraordinary. Her skin was translucent like jade and soft like an infant. Her large watery eyes were as beautiful as the starry sky.
Her sexy red lips, her oval face, her tall figure and impressive curves, this woman was truly an enormous beauty.
Most importantly, this woman's facial appearance actually resembled Madam Sectmaster. However, she was a tier more beautiful than Madam Sectmaster.
Compared to her beautiful appearance, Chu Feng was more surprised by the cultivation of this woman – a rank three Martial King.
But, in terms of age, she appeared to be of similar age to Zi Ling. In other words, she was even younger than Chu Feng.
With such a cultivation at such an age, this signified one thing — this woman's talent was exceptionally outstanding, she was no ordinary character.
"We pay our respects to eldest senior sister." After seeing this woman, the ninety-nine disciples of the Ascension Sect shouted in unison.
"Eldest senior sister?" Hearing those words, both Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing were surprised.
This girl appeared to be extremely young, she seemed to not even have reached twenty years of age.How could she possibly be the eldest senior sister of these core disciples? There was definitely something fishy going on.
"Ruochen, why did you come?" Right at this moment, the Madam Sectmaster suddenly spoke.
"Mother, even I am unable to reach the peak of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, what qualifications does he have to go up in it?"
"If he wishes to go up, that's fine too. All he has to do is to defeat me, Bai Ruochen. Otherwise, he would have no qualifications to enter." said the woman by the name of Bai Ruochen.
After she spoke, Chu Feng finally realized why everyone called her eldest senior sister. It turned out that she was the Madam Sectmaster's daughter. With a special relationship and her outstanding strength, she obtained the title of eldest senior sister.
"Heh, this daughter of mine is truly insensible like this. However, what she says is also reasonable. How about this, little friend, you go ahead and compare notes with my daughter. As long as you can defeat her, I will allow you to enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda."
"Moreover, this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda would forever remain a possession of your Southern Cyanwood Forest. Even if you fail to obtain the keepsake within it, your Southern Cyanwood Forest would be welcome to come back and enter it anytime you wish."
"However, if you are unable to defeat my daughter, then, like what we have previously agreed on, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda would not have the slightest relationship with your Southern Cyanwood Forest from today on. I would also change its name to Ascension Sect's Pagoda. What do you think?" said the Madam Sectmaster.
"Fine by me." Chu Feng did not bother with superfluous words. He directly looked to Bai Ruouchen and asked, "How do you wish to compare?"
"Buzz." Bai Ruochen extended her finger and drew a one meter diameter circle before her. After that, she waved her hand and drew a hundred-meter circle outside of the one meter circle. Only then did she say to Chu Feng.
"As long as you can enter the outer circle, you are considered to be qualified to enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda."
"If you can force me out of the inner circle, it would be considered your win and from today on, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda shall be your Southern Cyanwood Forest's and our Ascension Sect would never touch upon it again."
"Senior, does the words spoken by your daughter count?" Chu Feng asked the Madam Sectmaster.
"It does. However, little friend, although your courage is deserving of praise, I still wish to advise you to give up. With your cultivation, what else could it be other than seeking your own humiliation to exchange blows with my daughter?" said the Madam Sectmaster while shaking her head.
"Heh, madam, thank you for your worries, but I am fine." Chu Feng coldly smiled. He did not bother to restrain himself afterwards. With a movement of his body, he explosively shot out in a flash. Bringing with him an unparalleled amount of power, he flew towards the circles drawn by Bai Ruochen.

Chapter 1094 – Obtained It Myself
Chu Feng's speed was extremely fast and extremely imposing. He simply did not appear to be a human at all. Instead, he appeared more like a meteor that possessed a great amount of grandeur, deterrence and destructive power. It was as if there was nothing that could stop his path.
The strength displayed by Chu Feng caused all of the Ascension Sect's people to open their eyes brightly. More or less, they began to have a whole new level of respect for Chu Feng.
However, even though this was the case, one could still tell that they were looking down upon Chu Feng. Their appearances revealed that they had determined beforehand that Chu Feng would be defeated by Bai Ruochen. Moreover, it would be a total defeat.
Even those Ascension Sect's disciples who had experienced Chu Feng's might had such an appearance.
"Buzz."
Right at the moment when Chu Feng was about to approach the outer circle, Bai Ruochen's gaze suddenly shined. Immediately after, a boundless energy ripple began to wreak havoc as it spread out from her.
Faced with the energy ripple, even the space began to tremble. Small cracks even appeared in the space. This caused Chu Feng to deeply frown. He realized that this woman was not a simple character.
With Chu Feng's battle power, even though he only possessed the cultivation of a rank one Martial King, ordinary rank three Martial Kings would most certainly not be a match for him.
However, at this moment, he realized that this girl by the name of Bai Ruochen seemed to possess extraordinary battle power. At the very least, she was not an ordinary rank three Martial King.
However, even though this was the case, Chu Feng did not reduce his speed in the slightest. Moreover, he did not even try to dodge the energy ripple. Instead, he directly charged towards it. Chu Feng was planning to test the waters with his body and personally experience the might of this girl called Bai Ruochen.
"Bang."
Finally, Chu Feng's body collided with the ripple. Surprisingly, Chu Feng was unable to contend against the ripple at all. As if he had collided into an impenetrable wall, after a loud bang, Chu Feng was sent back flying. Only after being rebounded for several thousand meters did Chu Feng manage to stable his body.
Seeing this scene, Sikong Zhaixing's expression took a huge change. Unable to help himself, a worried expression appeared on his face. As an expert from the older generation that had cultivated for many years, he was able to tell with a single glance that this Bai Ruochen was extraordinary. She was a genius, a true genius.
As for the people from the Ascension Sect, their expression did not change greatly since they had already anticipated this. However, one could now see traces of pride within their eyes.
Bai Ruochen was indeed not an ordinary disciple; she was their Ascension Sect's trump card, the person that they planned to show off to the Cyanwood Mountain this year. Not only was she supposed to bring honor to the Ascension Sect, she was also supposed to shock all of the other subsidiary powers' trump cards.
"Headmaster Sikong, it is just as the Madam Sectmaster said, this disciple of yours is truly deserving of praise for his courage. However, I still wish that you go and advise him, with the strength he has, he is simply no match for our sect's Ruochen."
"For him to try to compare notes with Ruochen, it would be a praise if we were to say that he is attempting the impossible." At this moment, the two elders from the Ascension Sect were unable to help themselves from speaking words of ridicule.
After hearing the words spoken by the two elders, Sikong Zhaixing's expression became even more unsightly. That was because these two elders were too weak. Regardless of whether it was their cultivation or their status, they were simply not qualified to speak to him in such a manner.
However, even though he was displeased in his heart, he did not refute them. Instead, he focused his eyes upon Chu Feng. He, more or less, knew what sort of person Chu Feng was, and that this was most definitely not Chu Feng's true strength.
Thus, there was still a trace of hope in his heart. He hoped that Chu Feng would be able to enter into the outer circle and obtain a trace of honor for their Southern Cyanwood Forest.
"Are you planning to continue?" Right at this moment, Bai Ruochen spoke. She had a very indifferent and cold expression on her face. To her, someone of Chu Feng's cultivation was simply no threat at all. Without even a need to fight seriously, she would be able to easily defeat him.
"Heh, I was merely warming up earlier. I will now be using my true strength." Chu Feng lightly smiled. After that, his body suddenly moved. He once again began to fly towards the outer circle drawn by Bai Ruochen.
Regardless of his might or his speed, they were no different from earlier. However, the confidence on his face had strengthened a bit.
"Overconfident." Seeing that Chu Feng did not give up and charged toward her again using the same method as before, an annoyed expression appeared on Bai Ruochen's face. After that, her gaze shined once more. Another ripple appeared. With her as the center, the ripple spread out towards the horizon, sweeping through everything.
"Thunder Armor." Right at the moment when Chu Feng was about to collide with the ripple, Chu Feng's intention moved. Layers upon layers of lightning rushed forth from his body. In the end, they created an armor of lightning, the Thunder Armor.
When the Thunder Armor appeared, Chu Feng's cultivation rose in a flash. He was no longer a rank one Martial King; he became a rank two Martial King.
At the moment when Chu Feng's cultivation became rank two Martial King, his entire person's aura became completely different. He raised his hand into a fist and explosively shot it forth. With the boundless martial power from the fist, the energy ripple released by Bai Ruochen dispersed apart.
"What is that?" The scene that suddenly occurred brought great shock to everyone present. Especially Bai Ruochen, an incomparably surprised expression appeared on her ice-cold face.
However, while she was shocked, she instantly realized that she had underestimated her opponent and hurriedly used her thought to create another boundless energy ripple and sent it toward Chu Feng. Moreover, the energy ripple this time was even more powerful than last time.
It could be said that this energy ripple was Bai Ruochen using her true power. The power of this energy ripple was enormous. Let alone rank two Martial Kings, it was likely that even ordinary rank four Martial Kings would not be able to withstand it.
However, while Bai Ruochen may have been powerful, Chu Feng was absolutely not someone to be trifled with. Although Chu Feng knew that it would be very difficult for him to defeat the second energy ripple with only his body, he did possess other methods.
"Blade of the Void Dragon's Cry."
Chu Feng explosively shouted those words. After that, he abruptly raised his right hand up and a boundless pressure suddenly appeared from nowhere. At the same time, a sharp blade that radiated a dazzling light appeared in Chu Feng's hand.
After the blade appeared, Chu Feng waved it and a boundless,dazzling crescent-shaped blade ray appeared, covering the sky. Just like that, the second energy ripple that Bai Ruochen sent toward him was cut apart.
When this exchange was over, Chu Feng had already entered into the outer circle drawn by Bai Ruochen. Steadily, he stood in the outer circle.
"This…"
At this moment, everyone displayed blank expressions; they were all stunned beyond belief.
Never did they ever imagine that this disciple from the Southern Cyanwood Forest would be this powerful.
For those Ascension Sect's disciples, their shock was not as obvious as they had earlier, more or less, experienced Chu Feng's might.
However, those two Ascension Sect's elders that previously mocked Chu Feng's powerlessness were so shocked that their eyes opened wide like eggs and their mouths were agape with their chins dropping to the floor. They were completely stunned by Chu Feng's strength.
"Heh. Headmaster Sikong, congratulations. An extraordinary disciple has appeared in your Southern Cyanwood Forest. Whether it might be his techniques, his battle power or his extraordinary courage, this child will definitely become an exceedingly famed character in the future. To be able to obtain this child, it is a blessing for your Southern Cyanwood Forest."
At this moment, the Madam Sectmaster appeared to be rather calm. While the gaze she looked to Chu Feng with possessed some shock, she did not display any expression of displeasure. Instead, she clapped her hands in applause and even spoke highly of Chu Feng. Afterwards, she even said,
"Very well, let's forget about all this. I shall give him the chance to enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda today."
"Madam Sectmaster, those words you've spoken seemed to be incorrect." However, to everyone's surprise, Chu Feng actually questioned the words spoken by the Madam Sectmaster.
"Little friend, what is incorrect about what I said?" The Madam Sectmaster asked Chu Feng with a smile on her face.
"This chance is not something that you've given me. I have obtained it myself." said Chu Feng.

Chapter 1095 – Shocking Everyone
Once Chu Feng said these words, not only the people from the Ascension Sect, even Sikong Zhaixing breathed in a mouthful of cold air.
Who was the Madam Sectmaster? In the Ascension Sect, she was a great character that stood above tens of thousands of people. It was so much that even the Ascension Sect's sectmaster only stood on equal footing with her.
For Chu Feng to dare to speak to her in such a manner, it was truly an outrageous and serious crime that the people from the Ascension Sect could not tolerate.
However, it appeared that Madam Sectmaster was not displeased with Chu Feng. Thus, even though Chu Feng rudely refuted her, she did not get angry and a calm smile continued to remain on her face.
Such a smile on her beautiful face truly gave off a graceful mature charm.
"You've merely stepped foot onto the outer circle. Do you truly believe yourself to be amazing?" Right at this moment, Bai Ruochen spoke. One could sense the mocking tone in her words.
As the daughter of the Madam Sectmaster, she would naturally not allow someone to disrespect her mother. Thus, at this moment, she was as cold as ice; her extremely beautiful little face was filled with expressions of annoyance and displeasure.
"Of course I know that. Stepping onto the outer circle cannot not be considered winning against you. I was planning to force you out from the inner circle." Chu Feng said with a smile on his face. While he spoke those words, he even cast a wink at Bai Ruochen.
This Bai Ruochen's appearance was truly lovely. She was like a snow lotus flower within a region of ice and snow. Although she was cold, she was very pure and honest. Thus, no matter how cold she was, Chu Feng did not dislike her.
Most importantly, her age was close to Zi Ling's. Although her appearance was different, she was also devastatingly beautiful like Zi Ling. Moreover, her battle power was extraordinary; she was a genius. When Chu Feng saw her, he somehow had a feeling of closeness towards her.
"What did you say? Try saying it again." Although Chu Feng did not dislike Bai Ruochen, but to her, the wink from Chu Feng was most definitely a provocation.
"I said, I. Will. Defeat. You." Chu Feng have a smile on his face. With a loud voice, he spoke those words one at a time.
"You… you are truly overestimating yourself!" Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen clenched her jade-skinned fists. In anger, her fair face turned deep red. It appeared that Chu Feng truly enraged her. She had prepared to teach Chu Feng a lesson.
"This guy, he actually dares to be that arrogant. Eldest senior sister, do not be lenient! Teach him a lesson! Otherwise, a mere Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple like him would think that there is no one in our Ascension Sect that can stand up to him!"
In fact, it was not only Bai Ruochen who was extremely angered. Practically everyone from the Ascension Sect were deeply enraged by Chu Feng's actions. It was so much that they did not even dare to believe what they heard.
For Chu Feng to step onto the outer circle, it meant that he had some abilities. However, they themselves knew best how powerful Bai Ruochen was. Chu Feng actually wanted to force Bai Ruochen out from the inner circle and defeat her, this was truly too arrogant of him.
However, compared to the others, the Madam Sectmaster had an expression of anticipation on her face. After what happened earlier, she already had a whole new level of respect for Chu Feng. Thus, she no longer looked down upon him like how she did initially. Instead, she wanted to know exactly what sort of tricks Chu Feng had up his sleeve.
However, even though she was looking at Chu Feng in a new light, confidence still filled her eyes. She was confident that her daughter Bai Ruochen would not lose to Chu Feng. Thus, she said,
"Since you have the heart, then go ahead and have a try. However, keep in mind, the two of you are only sparring."
"Come. This time, I will not be lenient against you." Bai Ruochen spoke.
"In that case, I shall accept your invitation." Chu Feng smiled. He then formed a bow with his left hand and an arrow with his right. In a period of time as short as touching one's fingers, tens of thousands of arrows were shot forth toward Bai Ruochen.
"Insignificant skill." Bai Ruochen coldly snorted. Then, she moved her lily-white hands, fluttered her sleeve and created a strong gale.
That gale was extremely powerful and contained a devastating amount of destructive power. At the time when that gale encompassed the arrows shot out by Chu Feng, all of the golden arrows were completely destroyed.
Most importantly, after the arrows shot out by Chu Feng were destroyed, the gale did not slow down in the slightest and instead increased in power as it started to charge towards him.
The surging gale was extremely fierce. It was as if there was an enormous beast in the sky as the gale gave off bellows on its path toward Chu Feng.
This sort of attack was sufficient to shock everyone. Not to mention the disciples of the Ascension Sect, even the two elders were stunned. They knew that before this sort of attack, even they would likely be unable to defend against it.
However, they were rank five Martial Kings. Yet, that Bai Ruochen was a rank three Martial King.
What did that mean? It meant that Bai Ruochen's talent was first-rated and possessed extraordinary strong battle power that made even rank five Martial Kings unable to contend against her.
"A mere Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple. Although that Thunder Armor of yours is very wondrous, did you really think that by increasing your cultivation by one, you would be a match for our Bai Ruochen? We shall see how you'll die." After being stunned, the two elders sneered in their hearts.
Such an attack was something that even they could not withstand. Thus, there was simply no hope for Chu Feng to be able to defend against it. Bai Ruochen had been angered. And the consequence of her anger would be Chu Feng's death.
"As I expected. Your battle power is very strong and could surpass two ranks of cultivation. For ordinary cultivators, I reckon only rank six Martial Kings would be able to contend against you."
"Unfortunately for you, although my cultivation is inferior to yours, I'm afraid that my battle power is stronger than yours."
Chu Feng coldly laughed. Then, with a thought, a 'zzz' sound was heard. Two enormous lightning wings of several meters extended out from his back. When the Thunder Wings completely emerged, it brought forth a boundless and overflowing might that caused even the space in this region to tremble.
This pair of wings was extremely domineering. Not only was it composed of five different lightnings, when it appeared, Chu Feng's cultivation rose once again. From rank two Martial King, he became a rank three Martial King.
Most importantly, when the Thunder Wings appeared, Chu Feng abruptly raised his hand to a fist and attacked. With merely this fist strike, he created countless spatial cracks in the space before him. As for that gale that was charging toward him, it was also shattered apart by a single strike from him.
"How is that possible? Who exactly is this guy? He actually possessed the means to increase his cultivation twice in a row. Where exactly did he come from?"
"Is he a cultivator with a special kind of Forbidden Mysterious Technique? But, what kind of Forbidden Mysterious Technique would have such powers?"
"Could it be that he's a Divine Body? However, all of the Divine Bodies from the Cyanwood Domain are extremely famous and well-known. Never have I ever heard of someone like him."
Although Chu Feng had only displayed a single fist strike, his successive display of his Thunder Armor and Thunder Wings stunned everyone. The five lightnings were simply blinding to their eyes.
Having reached the Martial King level, methods to increase one's cultivation was extremely rare. However, it didn't mean that it was impossible. Thus, when Chu Feng displayed his Thunder Armor and increased his cultivation by one rank, while it shocked the crowd, it was still at a tolerable level.
However, to increase his cultivation twice in a row, this was something that they had simply never seen before. At this moment, not to mention the others, even Sikong Zhaixing's expression took a huge change. That was because even he had never thought that this disciple from the Southern Cyanwood Forest would be this powerful.
"Interesting. I truly almost misjudged. Such a genius standing before me and I actually did not recognize it earlier. Little mischievous child, it seems that your ability to conceal your strength is quite profound."
Compared to the others, the person who was the calmest at this moment was still the Madam Sectmaster. Although she remained composed, an idea that others could not see through was rushing forth in her eyes.

Chapter 1096 – The Battle Between Geniuses
"No wonder you dare to be this arrogant. It turns out that you actually have some skills."
"Very well. Since this is the case, I shall not show any mercy either. Let's quickly settle this."
Bai Ruochen coldly snorted. Then, light flickered on her palm and a long scaled whip that shined with silvery light appeared in her hand.
Once this long whip appeared, a strong gale immediately started to torrent through the region and black clouds began to appear. The martial power in the surroundings also began to flutter up and down. Even the ground began to tremble.
At this moment, Bai Ruochen's white dress was fluttering in the wind and her long hair was swaying back and forth. After she explosively increased her strength, even this region of empty space started to change with her at the center. It was as if her might had conquered this region of space.
That long whip was entirely white in color. However, it emitted a silvery light. Furthermore, the scales on the whip appeared extremely vivid and lifelike. They did not appear to be something that was added to the whip afterwards; instead they appeared like they were originally a part of it.
This long whip possessed intelligence; it was a Royal Armament. However, it was not an ordinary Royal Armament. The might displayed by it was able to match Chu Feng's Demon Sealing Sword.
"What a powerful Royal Armament. Is this eldest senior sister's legendary Platinum Dragon Whip?"
"Truly too amazing. That whip is a king among Royal Armaments. Before it, ordinary Royal Armaments would tremble in fear, unable to fight against it at all."
"That Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple possessed some tricks and abilities that we have never seen before. I suspect he likely also possesses an extraordinary Royal Armament. Unfortunately for him, regardless of what sort of Royal Armament he possesses, it would not be able to exhibit its strength before eldest senior sister's Platinum Dragon Whip. It would appear that the outcome of this battle is already decided."
When they saw the Platinum Dragon Whip, the disciples of the Ascension Sect began to praise incessantly. They have already experienced how powerful Bai Ruochen's Platinum Dragon Whip was.
"Receive my attack!!!"
Suddenly, Bai Ruochen attacked. She waved her sleeve and did a graceful motion, brandishing the Platinum Dragon Whip in her hand. "Pow," a sharp echo, like a bolt from the blue. As the whip gave off that explosive sound, a white colored dragon appeared. With snarls, it charged toward Chu Feng.
"This Bai Ruochen is indeed extraordinary. She actually possessed a Royal Armament not inferior to my Demon Sealing Sword." Seeing the incoming white dragon, Chu Feng's eyes shined. However, he did not panic.
Although Chu Feng's battle power was extraordinary, his cultivation was limited. Right now, after using both his Thunder Armor and Thunder Wings, his cultivation was only able to match Bai Ruochen's.
As for Bai Ruochen, she immediately took out a Royal Armament not inferior to his Demon Sealing Sword. This caused it so that the gap that Chu Feng had closed to become inferior once again. In this sort of situation, Chu Feng had no choice but to go all out.
"Buzz." Thinking till this point, Chu Feng did not hesitate anymore. With a turn of his wrist, the pitch-black Demon Sealing Sword appeared in his hand.
"Rumble~~~"
Once the Demon Sealing Sword appeared, the sky instantly turned dark and thunders rolled about. Most importantly, layers upon layers of black gases charged forth from the Demon Sealing Sword. Like an army of demons, they rushed to attack the incoming white dragon from all sides.
"Wuuuuu~~~~~~~"
"Aoooouuu~~~~~~~~"
The white dragon roared repeatedly, trembling the surroundings. As for the black colored gases, they howled like demons and ghosts unceasingly. If the dragon's roar brought about fear to the crowd, then the howls of the gas brought about terror to their hearts.
As the two fought in the sky, a black and white battle scene appeared. It was an extremely spectacular sight.
"What is that? That guy's Royal Armament is actually also this powerful? It is actually not at all inferior to eldest senior sister's Platinum Dragon Whip?"
"How could this be? Who exactly is he? Where did he obtain such a powerful Royal Armament?"
Once Chu Feng's Demon Sealing Sword appeared, he immediately brought about the focus of the crowd. After all, the Demon Sealing Sword's might was matchlessly powerful too. It could be said that the Demon Sealing Sword was not in the slightest inferior to Bai Ruochen's Platinum Dragon Whip.
Royal Armaments like those are known to be the kings among Royal Armaments. They were simply not something that ordinary world spiritists could craft. Even in the Holy Land of Martialism, they were invaluable items, treasures that everyone wanted to purchase but could not find.
Treasures like those were items that would only be held bye geniuses of major powers. As for Chu Feng, he was merely a Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple. Yet, he actually possessed such a Royal Armament. This naturally brought about a great deal of shock to the crowd.
However, at this moment, the crowd was unable to remain stunned by Chu Feng's Demon Sealing Sword for long because the battle between Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen became more and more intense, reaching a point beyond their imagination.
From a simple contest of Royal Armaments, the two had moved onto a battle with martial skills. Moreover, neither of them were simply using a single martial skill. Instead, they were using multiple martial skills at once.
All kinds of offensive and defensive martial skills appeared in the sky only to be dissipated by their opponent nonstop. That sort of scene brought about amazement to even Sikong Zhaixing. There was no need to mention what the two Ascension Sect's elders and ninety-nine disciples felt at this moment.
The battle between Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen had surpassed the capabilities of ordinary disciples. What the two of them displayed was simply the battle techniques and methods of exceptional geniuses.
This was a battle between geniuses!!!
"Unbelievable! Never did I imagine Chu Feng to be this powerful!"
"Ancestor, you were right, you were right! Our Southern Cyanwood Forest has finally managed to wait till the appearance of our hope! All these countless years of waiting has finally paid off!"
At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing was extremely emotional. His aged body even began to tremble. Although he knew that Chu Feng was powerful, he never imagined Chu Feng to be this powerful. Such battle strength, he believed that even the top geniuses of the Cyanwood Mountain would only be at his level.
"Damn it. I refuse to believe that I, Bai Ruochen, cannot defeat you today!"
With her attacks being dissipated by Chu Feng repeatedly, this caused the proud, arrogant and icy cold Bai Ruochen to become even more furious. After being enraged to such a state, her aura began to change. Layers upon layers of special aura began to spill out from her palm and was quietly channeled into the Platinum Dragon Whip.
"This feeling! She has trained in a special kind of Mysterious Technique. If my guess is correct, it should be a Forbidden Mysterious Technique. No wonder her battle power is this powerful. So there's actually the assistance of a Forbidden Mysterious Technique." Chu Feng was extremely sensitive. He noticed that the aura emitted by Bai Ruochen at this moment was a bit different. It was a power completely different from the norm, a power that originated from Forbidden Mysterious Techniques. In essence, the current Bai Ruochen became even more powerful.
"I shall see how you take on this attack of mine, Dragon Whipping The World!"
Suddenly, the Platinum Dragon Whip Bai Ruochen held in her hand shined like the dazzling sun, and at this moment, it was brandished once again in her hand. Layers upon layers of frightening power was channeling through the Platinum Dragon Whip. As if that power was about to emerge out from it, even the surrounding space started to violently tremble.
"Bang!"
Finally, a sound even more ear-piercing than thunder exploded in the sky. At the same time, the Platinum Dragon Whip twitched in the sky. After the twitching stopped, layers upon layers of spatial cracks appeared in the sky. Finally, the cracks split apart and created a pitch-black darkness.
"It would appear that she's not holding anything back now."
Seeing the sky that had been split apart, Chu Feng also frowned. Everything in the Holy Land of Martialism was different from the Eastern Sea Region. The sky here was taller and the space was more stable. It was simply impossible for ordinary power to shatter the space here. However, at this moment, Bai Ruochen had shattered it. This meant that she possessed extraordinary power.
She was displaying her might; she was displaying to Chu Feng how powerful the current her was.
In this sort of situation, Chu Feng did not dare to be careless. He tightly held the Demon Sealing Sword; then he channeled his martial power in his body through a special trajectory and into the Demon Sealing Sword. That was because he knew that the next time Bai Ruochen attack would no longer be a display of her might. Instead, the attack would be aimed at him.

Chapter 1097 – Three Consecutive Strikes
"Dragon Whipping The World!"
It was exactly as Chu Feng have expected, after Bai Ruochen displayed her might, she launched an attack at him.
The Platinum Dragon Whip that flickered with a silvery light now appeared like an actual living dragon as it lashed toward Chu Feng. A frightening oppressive might invisible to the naked eye also came crashing toward Chu Feng.
That oppressive might cause even the space to tremble; there was no need to mention its effect on Chu Feng. However, even though this was the case, Chu Feng did not cower in the slightest. Instead, his eyes were filled with confidence.
"This move is created by me utilizing the characteristic of the Demon Sealing Sword. This is the first time since I've created it that I am using it. This move is still nameless at the moment. Today, I shall name it Dragon Slaying Demon Sealing Slash."
Suddenly, Chu Feng brandished the Demon Sealing Sword in his hand. His pitch-black sword drew a crescent shaped arc in mid-air. After that, an enormous crescent shaped light ray emerged explosively from the arc.
Dark black colored light rays, they were the commonly used attacks by Chu Feng when he was holding the Demon Sealing Sword. However, the light ray this time around was completely different from before.
Not only did its size increase by tenfold, even its might was increased by tenfold. Most importantly, when the crescent shaped light ray appeared, terrifying sounds was heard from the light ray.
Those sounds sounded like weeping, screaming, snarling, and the cry of beasts. Occasionally, it sounded like the crying of grievances from souls. Occasionally, it sounded like the display of might from demons. Essentially, it was extremely frightening.
As for this, this was the peak strength of the Demon Sealing Sword.
As implied by the name of the Demon Sealing Sword, the Demon Sealing Sword was a sword used to seal demons. Its true strength lies not on the sword itself; instead, it lies on the evils sealed within the sword.
At this moment, Chu Feng have lifted the seal off the evils. Moreover, he ingeniously fused them to his own attack, creating a completely new attack, the Dragon Slaying Demon Sealing Slash.
As for the reason why Chu Feng decided to name it the Dragon Slaying Demon Sealing Slash, it was because the first time Chu Feng used this move was to deal with Bai Ruochen's Dragon Whipping The World.
Thus, as implied by its name, Chu Feng planned to use this move to destroy Bai Ruochen's Dragon Whipping The World.
Actually, these two moves displayed from apex Royal Armaments both possessed world-shaking might. They were both exceedingly terrifying. However, as for which skill was stronger and which was weaker, that would soon be determined.
"Rumble."
As the world trembled, as the crowd watched from the sidelines, Chu Feng's Dragon Slaying Demon Sealing Slash and Bai Ruochen's Dragon Whipping The World finally collided.
Bai Ruochen's Dragon Whipping The World was cast by her Royal Armament itself. Although it was fierce, it still remained that its user Bai Ruochen was a female. Her techniques were more of an incorporation of both strength and gentleness rather than one of only strength.
As for Chu Feng's Dragon Slaying Demon Sealing Slash, it was completely different for him. There was close to no flaw in his tyrannic strength. Thus, this allowed him to display the might of his attack beautifully. In the end, he managed to obtain dominance.
"Swoosh. Rustle."
The collision of their two attacks created an enormous ripple. However, the might of the Dragon Slaying Demon Sealing Slash was more powerful. Moreover, the two attacks ended up in a direct collision, attacking one another. This lead to the Platinum Dragon Whip being sent flying back back alongside the appearance of the ripple.
At this moment, Bai Ruochen tightly held onto the Platinum Dragon Whip. However, because the power that was sending the Platinum Dragon Whip flying was truly too powerful, it leads to her being unable to control the Platinum Dragon Whip and actually get flipped a circle in midair by the Platinum Dragon Whip that continued to fly backwards. She was nearly flung out from the inner circle.
"This… Eldest senior sister actually…"
Although neither party were injured in the aftermath, it remained that Chu Feng stood where he was originally and was not affected in the slightest while Bai Ruochen was flipped three hundred sixty degrees by her own Royal Armament.
This slight difference was sufficient to determine the victor. In this battle, Chu Feng's Dragon Slaying Demon Sealing Slash was indeed stronger than Bai Ruochen's Dragon Whipping The World. The name he gave it, 'Dragon Slaying,' was not in vain.
However, this result was something that the Ascension Sect's people could not believe.
Who was Bai Ruochen? She was their Ascension Sect's trump card that they planned to stun all of the powers in the Cyanwood Mountain with.
However, such a powerful Bai Ruochen actually did not manage to obtain any advantage in her several exchanges with Chu Feng. To the people from the Ascension Sect, this was an enormous shock, an inconceivable event.
Even though Chu Feng have used special means to increase his cultivation to the same level as Bai Ruochen's, rank three Martial King.
It remained that Chu Feng's true cultivation was that of a rank one Martial King. In other words, doesn't this mean that this Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple was truly even more powerful than Bai Ruochen?
"Do you still want to continue? Are you going to admit your defeat now or do I have to force you out from the inner circle?" For his Dragon Slaying Demon Sealing Slash to be the victor in the contest, this brought about a great amount of joy to Chu Feng. With a beaming smile, he asked Bai Ruochen.
To everyone's surprise, Bai Ruochen who was thoroughly enraged by Chu Feng earlier had actually calmed down and said. "As matters stand, I have no choice but to admit that you're very powerful."
"However, this sparring concerned one's honor; there is no way that I will ever admit defeat."
As Bai Ruochen said those words, a faintly detectable fierceness appeared on her beautiful face. This genius woman has finally become completely serious.
However, while that the contest earlier was definitely not Bai Ruochen's trump card, Chu Feng was no ordinary character either. Thus, he displayed a relieved smile and said. "In that case, you want me to force you out from the inner circle?"
"Heh, it is not that you are going to force me out from the inner circle, it is I who am going to force you out from the outer circle."
Suddenly, a cold grin emerged on Bai Ruochen's mouth. After that, the fierceness in her eyes became even stronger. Layers upon layers of boundless king level martial power began to burst forth from her body.
She tightly held her Platinum Dragon Whip with one hand. As for the other hand, she suddenly extended it open and shouted. "Mortal Taboo, Triple Strike!"
Once Bai Ruochen said those words, her fail and soft body began to burst forth with powerful and fierce king level martial power like an exploding volcano.
Most shockingly, after the fierce king level martial powers left Bai Ruochen's body, they formed three life forms and stood in the airspace above Bai Ruochen.
A thousand-meter-long enormous dragon. With a body covered in flames that surged nonstop.
A hundred-meter-long sword. With a silver body, it was flickering with light.
A tall and enormous creature. With body covered in sharp blades, it was snarling repeatedly.
These were not true life forms. Instead, they were three powerful martial skills.
They were not ordinary martial skills. Instead, they were Taboo Martial Skills that contained Taboo Power. 1
Three types of Taboo Martial Skills were displayed by Bai Ruochen at once. Most importantly, her long hair was fluttering, giving her the formidable might of a queen, and complexion remained rosy like before. This meant that even though she has displayed three such a martial skill, she was not majorly affected.
"She actually simultaneously used three Mortal Taboo Martial Skills. Too terrifying! Is this eldest senior sister's true strength?" Seeing this scene, all of the Ascension Sect's disciples was stunned.
As the core disciples of the Ascension Sect, they naturally also knew Mortal Taboo Martial Skills. However, they also knew how frightening Mortal Taboo Martial Skills were. To use three Mortal Taboo Martial Skills at once, this was truly a powerful display.
"This girl, she's actually this powerful." Actually, at this moment, even Sikong Zhaixing's face was covered with shock. He was stunned by Bai Ruochen's display of her skills.
1. Not sure about this, this is literally what they said. If there's a special term for taboo power, do suggest.

Chapter 1098 – The Outcome of the Battle
To casually use three Mortal Taboos at once stunned everyone present.
However, it was not Bai Ruochen's true intention. After those three Mortal Taboo Martial Skills appeared, she did not immediately go on the offensive against Chu Feng. Instead, with a thought from her, she caused the three colossal monsters above her to fuse into one.
The three Mortal Taboo Martial Skills ended up becoming a single Mortal Taboo Martial Skill. Moreover, the might and strength of this Mortal Taboo Martial Skill was even more powerful than the three combined.
Flames, a roaring voice, sharp fangs and claws; if it was said that the three Mortal Taboo Martial Skills from before all possessed distinctive appearances and displayed their strong points, then the current Mortal Taboo Martial Skill fused from the three would be an unpredictable and fierce demonic beast. Not only did it possess an unpredictable form, it also contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
"Martial Skill fusion, she actually fused Mortal Taboo Martial Skills. Moreover, she fused three of them!"
Seeing this scene, all the people from the crowd breathed in a mouthful of cold air. They discovered that they still had actually underestimated Bai Ruochen. What Bai Ruochen did was not as simple as just simultaneously using three Mortal Taboo Martial Skills.
"It appears that Ruochen has finally become serious. In this situation, how would that Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple defend against it? This is truly causing me to be filled with anticipation." Right at the moment when everyone was being stunned, Bai Ruochen's mother, this extraordinary Madam Sectmaster, was extremely calm.
As Bai Ruochen's mother, she knew her daughter's strength extremely well. Thus, regardless of what sort of techniques and skills Bai Ruochen might display, she, as her mother, would not be surprised. After all, all of this was something that she was already well aware of.
However, she was not a simple character. At the time when everyone's attention was focused on whether Chu Feng would be able to defend against Bai Ruochen's attack or not, she noticed that, even though Bai Ruochen fused three Mortal Taboo Martial Skills, Chu Feng still had a calm and collected expression on his face.
This meant that Chu Feng possessed a certain level of confidence in himself in being able to answer Bai Ruochen's attack. However, what she was unsure of was how Chu Feng would answer it. Thus, she was looking forward to it greatly.
"Chu Feng. I shall borrow your words. Are you going to admit defeat, or do you want me to force you out of the outer circle?"
"If you were to admit your defeat, you would still be able to enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. However, if you refuse to admit defeat, I will not be able to guarantee that you will remain alive after this attack of mine." Bai Ruochen spoke. At this moment, confidence appeared on her icy-cold and incomparably beautiful face.
"Heh…" However, to the advice given him by Bai Ruochen, Chu Feng merely chuckled lightly. He then said, "It seems that you have decided to have me force you out of the inner circle."
"Ingrate." Seeing that Chu Feng actually did not put her in his eyes, Bai Ruochen was enraged once again. With an intention, the fusion Mortal Taboo Martial Skill that floated above her began to snarl. With an oppressive might that appeared to be able to bring about the destruction of the heavens and the earth, it descended from above as if to bring about punishment to Chu Feng.
"What a frightening might."
As that fusion Mortal Taboo Martial Skill descend from above, not only did it cause the surrounding space to crumble, it made even the earth below tremble like an earthquake.
Before this sort of scene, not to mention the disciples of the Ascension Sect, even those two elders began to sweat cold sweat. Even though this attack was not aimed at them, they still felt fear from it because it was truly too terrifying. If the attack had been aimed at them, then they would definitely have been killed.
However, who would've thought that before such a terrifying attack, Chu Feng would actually close his eyes. Moreover, at this moment, with Chu Feng as the center, the space around him began to tremble.
At this moment, the trembling of Chu Feng's surroundings began to grow stronger and stronger. There were even spatial cracks appearing. An extremely powerful aura was pressuring the space around him so intensely that it was about to shatter it completely.
In this sort of circumstance, the boundless king level martial power from nature began to gather towards Chu Feng like a hurricane.
"This sensation, could it be?!" Sensing the change brought forth by Chu Feng, Bai Ruochen's expression also changed, as if she had realized something.
"Boom."
Right at this moment, Chu Feng abruptly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, an extremely sharp aura emerged from them.
"Darn it!"
Seeing the change in Chu Feng, Bai Ruochen immediately started to panic. That was because she determined that her guess was correct; Chu Feng really had grasped the technique that she had guessed.
At this moment, she urged all of her strength to accelerate her fusion Mortal Taboo Martial Skill toward Chu Feng. She wanted to defeat Chu Feng before he could use his technique.
However, she still underestimated Chu Feng. At this moment, numerous crimson colored gases were already being emitted from Chu Feng's body.
Those gases were extremely strange. While they appeared to be very sharp in shape, they also appeared to be very fluid. Not only were there an innumerable amount of them, they were also emitting wails like ghosts and howls like wolves. Those noises were extremely terrifying; it was as if they were demons from the underworld.
Most importantly, at the moment when the crimson colored gases appeared, the sky immediately changed in color. Not only did these gases possess a frightening power, their speed was also astonishingly fast. In merely an instant, they had covered every corner of this region of sky.
At this moment, Chu Feng's lips moved. One word at a time, he said, "Earthen Taboo: Firmament Slash!!!"
"First slash!"
"Boom."
As his voice landed, it was like the command of a ruler. Those strange and frightening gases gave off a howl and then, bringing with them the might to destroy heaven and earth, charged toward Bai Ruochen's incoming fusion Mortal Taboo Martial Technique.
In the end, with a loud 'kacha' sound, a crimson colored cross-shaped slash landed the fusion Mortal Taboo Martial Skill.
"Boom." After that single strike, the fusion Mortal Taboo Martial Skill that contained a boundless might was turned into boundless mists and a fierce hurricane as it dissipated.
Bai Ruochen's martial skill that fused three different Mortal Taboo Martial Skills was easily defeated by Chu Feng.
Such a scene stunned everyone. Astonishment filled their wide-open eyes.
"Second slash!"
However, Chu Feng did not stop his attack. Without giving anyone any time to react, Chu Feng lightly shouted once again. At that time, another crimson colored slash appeared and charged toward Bai Ruochen.
Before the force of that crimson colored slash, everywhere it passed, and even the space before it, began to shatter like broken glass.
"Damn it!"
Chu Feng's Earthen Taboo: Firmament Slash appeared too suddenly. Moreover, its might surpassed everyone's imagination. Before it, Bai Ruochen had no alternatives. In order to live, she could only move her body and jump backwards, away from the slash.
"Buzz."
However, right at this moment, that crimson colored slash suddenly dissolved. It was actually dispelled by Chu Feng. At the same time, the frightening oppressive might emitting from Chu Feng's body also disappeared. Tranquility returned to the surrounding space.
The crowd was a bit surprised by Chu Feng's unexpected action. Originally, they thought that Chu Feng's power was limited, and that he had become unable to continue using this terrifying martial skill. However, when they saw that Chu Feng still had a rosy complexion and appeared to not be affected in the slightest, they knew that he did indeed have the ability to continue.
When the crowd cast their gazes toward Bai Ruochen, they suddenly came to a realization.
It turned out that in order to dodge Chu Feng's Earth Taboo Martial Skill, Bai Ruochen had already jumped out from the inner circle.
The outcome of this sparring was determined. The Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple Chu Feng had won.

Chapter 1099 – I Have A Matter That I'd Like To Request
Silence. At this moment, silence filled the region. Everyone's eyes were fixed onto the sky above.
Shock. It was impossible for them to not be shocked. When Bai Ruochen, the trump card of their Ascension Sect, was defeated by a Southern Cyanwood Forest that they looked down upon, the emotions that filled their hearts were not simply shock and astonishment.
"Clap clap clap…" However, right at this moment, a loud and clear applause was suddenly heard.
Shifting their gazes toward the sound, the crowd saw a white-haired old man standing not far in the distance and clapping his hands in applause.
This old man had a truly aged appearance. He appeared to have lived for at least two hundred years. However, he had a kind appearance as well; especially that smile on his face, it gave off a very amiable feeling.
"We pay our respects to Lord Sectmaster." Upon seeing this individual, the people of the Ascension Sect, with the exception of Madam Sectmaster and Bai Ruochen, all hurried to courteously greet him.
Even Sikong Zhaixing did not dare to be disrespectful; he cupped his fist respectfully to greet this old man. "Southern Cyanwood Forest's headmaster also pays his respects to the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster."
"Hey, Headmaster Sikong, we are of the same generation. There is no need for you to pay such respects to me. You can just call me by my name." While the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster said those words, he had already arrived before Sikong Zhaixing and helped him up.
"Since Sectmaster Zhou said it like this, then Sikong Zhaixing will also treat you as a close friend." Seeing this, Sikong Zhaixing also stopped trying to be formal.
"Hey, that's more like it." The Ascension Sect's Sectmaster nodded. He then looked to Chu Feng and asked, "Little friend, may I know of your famed name?"
"Junior's name is Chu Feng. I pay my respects to senior sectmaster." Chu Feng responded respectfully.
"Little friend, you are truly talented. You were actually able to use an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill with such ease; for my daughter to be defeated by you, that too is reasonable."
The Ascension Sect's Sect Master nodded. He then turned to Sikong Zhaixing and said, "Headmaster Sikong, you have truly obtained a great disciple. Congratulations, congratulations."
The words spoken by the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster caused Sikong Zhaixing to beam with smiles while lightly nodding to show that he had received the praise.
"Senior sectmaster, earlier, Miss Bai said that as long as I could force her out of the inner circle, this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda would remain our Southern Cyanwood Forest's possession and that your Ascension Sect would not make use of it anymore. May I know if these words are still valid?" Chu Feng suddenly asked.
"Of course. Since I have already consented to this matter, we will definitely keep our word." Right at this moment, the Madam Sectmaster suddenly spoke. As she spoke, she flew over to the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster's side. Then, with a charming smile, she asked, "Isn't that right, Zhixian?"
"Heh, since you have already consented to it, those words would naturally be valid. Furthermore, this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda is something made by the Southern Cyanwood Forest to begin with." The Ascension Sect's Sectmaster smiled as he nodded. It could be seen that their relationship was very good.
However, from Chu Feng's point of view, he believed that Bai Ruochen's mother would be, at the very most, forty years old, and her beauty was still present. As for the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster, he had lived for at least two hundred years and was a true rotten old man.
As for their strength, both of them were unfathomably powerful. Chu Feng was unable to determine who was stronger and who was weaker. From that, even if the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster was stronger, he would likely not be that much stronger than the Madam Sectmaster.
Comparatively, the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster truly appeared to be a bit unable to match up to his beautiful Madam Sectmaster. After all, the Madam Sectmaster possessed such cultivation at such an age. When she reached the Acension Sect's Sectmaster's age, her cultivation would definitely surpass the Acension Sect's Sectmaster by leaps and bounds.
Thus, Chu Feng was confused. With how outstanding this Madam Sectmaster was, and how she possessed a genius daughter like Bai Ruochen, it meant that her talent in martial cultivation must be extremely high. Why then would she marry the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster?
Perhaps she had an ulterior motive? However, Chu Feng was unable to determine what this Acension Sect could have that she would want.
Since he was unable to determine it, Chu Feng decided not to bother with it. After all, this was not something related to him. Moreover, neither the Acension Sect's Sectmaster nor Bai Ruochen's mother appeared to be muddled people. Since he was willing to have her as his wife, then no one had the right to interfere.
Thus, Chu Feng also took the gazes of the crowd into consideration. He pointed to the formation the ninety-nine Ascension Sect disciples used to train earlier and said, "Since the words are valid, when will you all be removing this formation?"
"Little friend, go ahead and enter the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda first. When you return from the pagoda, I will remove this formation." The Ascension Sect's Sectmaster said.
"That would be fine." Seeing this, Chu Feng also did not bother with superfluous words anymore. He proceeded to walk directly toward the widely opened entrance of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
"Little friend Chu Feng, please wait a moment." However, right at this moment, the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster spoke and stopped Chu Feng.
"Senior Sectmaster, is there something you need?" Chu Feng asked.
"This old man indeed has a matter that I'd like to request of you," said the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster.
"Senior, please speak," said Chu Feng.
The Ascension Sect's Sectmaster did not directly respond to Chu Feng. Instead, he looked to the two elders and the ninety-nine disciples, and said, "Elders, the time is late. You can take these disciples and return."
"Yes." Seeing this, the two elders and the ninety-nine disciples hurriedly left. They did not dare to stay here anymore.
At this moment, Chu Feng realized that if the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster truly wanted to request something of him, then that matter would definitely be a confidential matter. At the very least, it was something that these elders and disciples did not know about.
As expected, after those elders and disciples left, the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster spoke. He first looked to Sikong Zhaixing and said, "I believe that Headmaster Sikong knew that my master, our Ascension Sect's previous sectmaster, passed away five years ago."
"I have heard about Senior Liu passing away." Sikong Zhaixing nodded.
"In that case, does Headmaster Sikong know how my master died?" the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster asked.
"Senior Liu possessed an unfathomable cultivation. However, he was very old. I believe that he should've died from old age?" said Sikong Zhaixing.
"You are half correct. My master was indeed reaching the limit of his life. However, he did not die of old age. Instead, he died in this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda." The Ascension Sect's Sectmaster said.
"Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda?" Hearing those words, Sikong Zhaixing was unable to contain his shock.
"Truth be told, it was not just your Southern Cyanwood Forest that failed to reach the peak of this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. No one else has managed to do it either. Even all of our Ascension Sect's successive generations of seniors have failed to reach the peak."
"My master, during his youth, was already a top-rated genius within our Ascension Sect. Even after he entered the Cyanwood Mountain, he became a famous core disciple there. If it wasn't for him insisting on returning to the Ascension Sect, then he would definitely possess a very high status within the Cyanwood Mountain."
"It could be said that he left behind many legends in his lifetime of cultivation. However, he was also one of the many people that lost in their challenge against this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda."
"This was a matter that gnawed at my master's heart his entire life. Thus, he wanted to, before his death from old age, attempt to challenge the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda once more."
"However, who would've thought that after he entered the Southern Cyanwood Forest, he would never return."
"After a year of my master not returning, I knew that my master might've encountered a mishap within the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. Thus, I declared to the outer world that my master had died," said the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster.
"Senior sectmaster, wouldn't you know whether that senior is alive or not just by going in there and checking?" asked Chu Feng.
"I have tried entering it before. However, the pressure within the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was truly too enormous. When I reached the seventh floor, I was unable to take another step."
"As for my master, it was said that he could reach the eighth floor. Thus, I am unable to see my master." The Ascension Sect's sectmaster shook his head.

Chapter 1100 – The Sign of Honesty
At this moment, Chu Feng took a glance at the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda and discovered that the pagoda only had ten floors. After hearing what the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster said, Chu Feng knew that every floor of this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda would definitely be harder than the previous one.
Thinking till this point, Chu Feng turned his gaze to Bai Ruochen and asked, "Miss Bai, you have also been to the pagoda before. May I know which floor you've managed to reach?"
Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen gave Chu Feng a glance of displeasure. Then, she snorted lowly.1 She did not tell him which floor she had reached. Instead, she expressed a great deal of discontent towards Chu Feng's question.
At this moment, Bai Ruochen's mother charmingly smiled and said, "My daughter's untalented. She has only reached the sixth floor."
"Oh?" Hearing those words, Chu Feng's gaze changed slightly. It was as if he had thought of something. However, he did not say anything; instead, he looked to the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster and asked, "If my guess is correct, senior sectmaster wants Chu Feng to help bring senior's master's remains back, right?"
"What little friend Chu Feng says is correct. If you are able to encounter my master's remains, I wish that you could bring them back intact." The Ascension Sect's Sectmaster nodded. Moreover, his tone contained some traces of pleading.
"This is something that I should do. If this junior is capable of coming across senior sectmaster's master's remains, I will definitely bring them back." Chu Feng nodded.
"Little friend Chu Feng, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda is a formation created by Senior Baili Xuankong. The formation is extremely powerful. If my master had not forced himself to climb the pagoda, he would definitely not have lost his life to it. Thus, little friend Chu Feng, you must not force yourself. If you feel that you cannot continue, it would be best for you to give up," the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster advised.
"Thank you for the advice, senior. Chu Feng will definitely act within his abilities." Chu Feng cupped his fist respectfully to express his thanks. After that, he entered the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
As he entered through the entrance, the first thing that appeared before Chu Feng was a spirit formation gate. After passing through the spirit formation gate, he arrived at the true interior of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
The Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda; when looking at it from the outside, it appeared to be an ordinary-sized ancient pagoda. However, when looked at from the inside, it was completely different.
At the very least, this first floor of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was very vast. However, this was nothing strange either. This Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was an enormous formation to begin with. A powerful world spiritist was capable of creating a vast world. Thus, such a place was not a difficult creation for a world spiritist. Even Chu Feng, with his current abilities, could create one such pagoda.
When Chu Feng entered the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, he indeed felt a pressure. However, this pressure was simply unworthy of mention to Chu Feng.
Like this, Chu Feng did not bother to stay on the first floor for too long. Instead, he immediately began to climb the floors. Every floor that he climbed would increase the pressure. However, the pressure continued to remain within Chu Feng's range of tolerance.
Chu Feng continued onward unhindered. However, when he reached the sixth floor, he stopped.
The area within the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda became narrower the further up one reached. The sixth floor was vastly more narrow than the first floor.
Chu Feng looked to his surroundings, and displayed a smile as if he had seen through something. He said, "The sixth floor's pressure could stop Bai Ruochen? What a joke."
After he finished saying those words, Chu Feng continued onward. When he reached the eighth floor, Chu Feng paid especial attention, and inspected his surroundings. However, he did not discover any human remains.
Just like this, Chu Feng continued toward the ninth floor. However, on the staircase connecting the eighth floor to the ninth floor, Chu Feng discovered some human remains.
These human remains appeared to be someone who had been climbing the stairs. It was evident that whoever it had been was trying to reach the ninth floor; unfortunately, that individual did not succeed, and instead died on the stairs.
Upon seeing this pile of human remains, Chu Feng did not even have to think about it to know that it must be the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster's master's remains.
"What a powerful cultivation." Chu Feng examined the human remains. Although this person had died long ago, and only a pile of bones remained, the bones were nevertheless extraordinary.
They were white like jade, and also emitted a faint glimmer. From a glance, they appeared to be a precious treasure. Actually, this pile of bones could indeed be considered to be a treasure.
When cultivators reach a certain point in their cultivation, their flesh would become extremely valiant. After their death, their cultivation would disappear, and their flesh, having lost the energy from their cultivation, would decompose.
However, the bones were different. The bones of cultivators, even though they might be inferior to the time when they were alive, would still be extremely hard. There were even people who used the bones of experts to create weapons.
As for this pile of bones, the source energy contained within it allowed Chu Feng to know that during the time when the owner of this pile of bones was alive, he was most definitely a Half Martial Emperor-level expert. However, Chu Feng was unable to determine what the exact cultivation of this expert was during the time he was alive.
"Wow, a Half Martial Emperor's source energy. Quickly, help me absorb and refine it. This Queen will definitely be able to reach a breakthrough in her cultivation." At this moment, Eggy was extremely excited. To her, the source energy from a Half Martial Emperor level expert was most definitely an object of great supplementary value.
"Eggy, when I enter the Cyanwood Mountain, I'll help you find source energy. However, as for this pile of human remains, we cannot use its source energy." Chu Feng said in a difficult manner.
"Why?" Eggy cast a glance at Chu Feng. She was confused.
"I have promised the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster that I will bring his master's remains out of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda intact. If we were to refine his master's remains' source energy, how could it still be considered to be intact?" said Chu Feng.
"In that case, you can help me refine the source energy and then destroy this pile of bones. Afterwards, when you return, you can just tell them that you never encountered it. Wouldn't that solve the problem then?" said Eggy.
"To accept one's request, one must be honest. How could I possibly agree to the request from the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster and then go on behind his back to do such a dishonest and unjust thing?" said Chu Feng.
"What do you suggest we do then? Are we to return this pile of remains to them? Have you forgotten the treatment they gave you earlier?"
"Moreover, even if you return this pile of Half Martial Emperor remains with their source energy intact, it does not mean that the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster would not take it for himself. In that case, is it not better for you to use it yourself?" said Eggy.
"I feel that the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster is a person who greatly reveres his master. Moreover, even if he refined his master's source energy, that would be his personal business. As for my business, that would be bringing this pile of remains back intact," said Chu Feng.
"Sigh. Forget about it. I am unable to win against you in an argument. This Queen will give up on this source energy, is that fine now? Go, put it away, let's continue onward." Eggy curled her lips. Although she wanted to refine the source energy, she did not get angry because Chu Feng refused to do that for her.
"Eggy, rest assured. After I enter the Cyanwood Mountain, I will find time to help you find source energy to help you restore your strength."
Although Eggy did not get angry, Chu Feng was still able to tell that she wanted to restore her strength urgently. Thus, he made the resolution to definitely help Eggy in the future. After all, Eggy had done a great deal for him.
"Don't bother with that, this Queen is not that worried. Moreover, if you wanted to restore my strength, even if you are to exhaust yourself to death, you would not be able to find enough source energy to restore my strength. At the very least, it would be hopeless in this Holy Land of Martialism."
"You do not have to worry about the matter of source energies. Just help this Queen refine the source energies if you are to come across them. If you do not, then just forget about it. It is more important to spend the time on increasing your strength. If your father was to accept you as his son, wouldn't the problem be solved if you have him remove the seal on me? I believe that your father would have this ability."
"Even if your father does not, your mother definitely does. After all, it was her who sealed me in you," said Eggy.
Hearing those words from Eggy, Chu Feng's heart felt a burst of warmth. He knew very well that Eggy was thinking for his benefit.
However, the more Eggy acted this way, the more guilty Chu Feng felt. Especially during the moment when he put the pile of bones with the dense source energy away, the guilt he felt at that moment was heart-piercing.
But since he had accepted another's request, he must be loyal and honest. This source energy was something that Chu Feng could not touch.
Therefore, he decided that in the future, he would definitely find a way to find even better source energy for Eggy. Otherwise, he would not be able to soothe his guilt toward Eggy.

Chapter 1101 – Mysterious Gaze
After putting the Ascension Sect's previous Sectmaster's remains away, Chu Feng arrived onto the ninth floor.
When he arrived onto the ninth floor, the pressure from the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda became very enormous. It was even comparable to the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
However, this amount of pressure was still not a problem for Chu Feng. After all, he was able to withstand the pressure at the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, so how could the pressure here possibly affect him?
However, as he continued onward up the stairs leading to the tenth floor, at the time when he arrived before the juncture to the tenth floor, another spirit formation gate appeared before him.
With the experience that Chu Feng possessed, he felt that this spirit formation gate was extraordinary. Although it appeared nothing but ordinary; there was a large possibility that there would be a formation array on the other side of this spirit formation gate. Moreover, it would not be a simple one. Likely, it would be the final checkpoint of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, the thing that would be hardest to pass.
"It would appear that trying to pass through this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda is more difficult than I expected. No wonder no one has managed to reach the top after all these thousands of years."
Having reached this point, Chu Feng had no other option. If he wanted to reach the top, he had to enter this place.
Thus, Chu Feng did not hesitate and directly entered the spirit formation gate.
"Boom."
At the moment when he stepped past the spirit formation gate, Chu Feng suddenly felt his vision turn dark. At this instant, it felt like there were explosions running through his brain. While his eyes were fuzzy, his ears were rumbling.
"What a nauseating formation array."
Chu Feng determined in his heart that the situation wasn't good. This formation array was truly too nauseating. It did not test one's endurance; instead, it directly affected one's senses.
At this moment, all five of Chu Feng's senses were being affected. It gave him a very nauseating sensation. There was nothing Chu Feng could do to change that. All he could do was to continue onward through sheer willpower.
This was truly a type of torture enough to cause one's collapse. Even Chu Feng was beginning to sway slightly.
That was because he discovered that if he were to stop moving, the effect on his senses would be tolerable. However, once he began to move, the effect would increase. However, if he were to retreat, then the effect would disappear completely.
But, Chu Feng could not retreat. After all, this matter not only concerned the honor of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, it also concerned his honor.
Therefore, Chu Feng could only continue onward. Even if his willpower crumbled, even if he encountered life-threatening danger, Chu Feng would still not give up. Furthermore, at this moment, Chu Feng had some confidence in himself.
Finally, with Chu Feng's tenacious willpower, the nauseating sensation and the feeling of his consciousness in disarray disappeared. What appeared before Chu Feng was a spirit formation gate.
Turning back to look, Chu Feng was able to see the spirit formation gate that led to the tenth floor. It turned out that what he had walked through earlier had merely been a long hallway.
On all four walls of this long hallway shone bright, glittering runes and symbols. Most importantly, Chu Feng actually felt a trace of familiar aura from this place. It was Bai Ruochen's aura.
"That girl is indeed lying. What does she mean by saying she only reached the sixth floor, she has clearly reached the ninth floor and even walked this long hallway."
"However, why did she lie?" Chu Feng thought for a moment. He did not understand why Bai Ruochen lied. However, he knew that she had not passed the test of the long hallway. She had only gotten one third of the way through before giving up. As for Chu Feng, he had passed through the entire hallway.
Thinking to this part, Chu Feng displayed a complacent smile on his face. That was because the final test was indeed extremely hard. However, he had managed to succeed.
At this moment, Chu Feng took a step forward. He passed through that spirit formation gate. When his vision returned, he had entered the tenth floor of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
Compared to the ninth floor, the tenth floor was even more narrow and truly even smaller.
However, that was not important. What was important was that in this small and narrow space was a very important item.
It was a stone sculpture of an old man. This old man possessed a large and robust figure, and a handsome appearance. With the extraordinary aura displayed by the sculpture, one could tell with a single glance that the old man had been an extraordinary expert.
Most importantly, this old man was holding a sword in his hand.
This sword was a meter long. It was not part of the sculpture; it was an actual sword. However, if one was to carefully inspect it, one would discover that it was not a sword. Instead, it was a key1, an extraordinary key.
"Spirit formation key." With a single glance, Chu Feng was able to recognize what it was.
After that, Chu Feng began to carefully inspect his surroundings. He discovered that, other than the sculpture and the spirit formation key that the sculpture held, there was nothing else on this tenth floor.
At this moment, Chu Feng was pretty certain that the sculpture was that of his Southern Cyanwood Forest's founder, Baili Xuankong.
As for the key in Baili Xuankong's hand, it should be the keepsake.
"Junior Chu Feng pays his respect to ancestor." Thinking to this point, Chu Feng paid his respects to the sculpture.
After all, he was a disciple of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, and Baili Xuankong was the ancestor of the Southern Cyanwood Forest. Thus, even though it was only a sculpture, Chu Feng still could not disrespect Baili Xuankong and had to pay his respects to him.
After paying his respects, Chu Feng walked forward. He wanted to remove the key from the sculpture.
"Buzz."
However, who would've thought that right after Chu Feng's hand touched that spirit formation key, a special energy would rush into his hand. Immediately after, the energy returned to the spirit formation key.
The most fearful thing was that after the energy returned to the spirit formation key, it actually brought Chu Feng's aura along with it. At this moment, a binding was cast onto Chu Feng's body by that spirit formation key.
"Automatically recognizing its master?" Chu Feng was surprised. Even though he had expected this spirit formation key to be extraordinary, he did not expect it to be this powerful and actually capable of recognizing its master.
However, Chu Feng was unable to understand. As a keepsake, this spirit formation key should be left in the care of the Ascension Sect. For it to actually recognize him as its master, what exactly was the meaning behind that?
However, since Baili Xuankong had arranged it so, there would definitely be a reason for it. Thus, Chu Feng did not bother to overthink it, picked up the spirit formation key, and began to walk towards the exit.
"This sensation?" However, right when Chu Feng reached the spirit formation gate, his gaze suddenly flashed. Immediately after, he hurried to turned around and cast his gaze onto the sculpture of Baili Xuankong.
That was because earlier, Chu Feng had felt that someone was watching him from behind. As for the source of that gaze, it was precisely from the eyes of the sculpture of Baili Xuankong.
However, this sculpture did not appear to be abnormal at all. Like before, it was very calm and quiet. With doubt in his heart, Chu Feng activated his Heaven's Eyes to inspect the sculpture. However, he still did not find anything.
"Could it have been a misperception?" Chu Feng was very confident in his sensitivity. Thus, he did not feel that the sensation he had had earlier had been a misperception. But, since he was unable to determine any abnormality with this sculpture, Chu Feng had no choice but to accept it as such.
"Lord Ancestor, this disciple will be leaving." However, before Chu Feng left, he once again paid his respects to the sculpture of Baili Xuankong. Only then did he turn around to leave.
This time, Chu Feng did not feel the sensation of being watched. However, his heart remained restless. After all, since such a thing had happened, he felt it to be very strange.
That was because the sensation of the gaze that he had felt earlier seemed to have been from a human.

Chapter 1102 – The Occasion Has Arrived
Chu Feng walked out of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. When he walked out of the gates, he discovered that the Acension Sect's sectmaster, Sikong Zhaixing, Bai Ruochen and Bai Ruochen's mother were all still outside.
When Sikong Zhaixing and the others saw that Chu Feng safely walked out of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, they all heaved a breath of relief. After all, this Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was no small matter. Although it was easy to enter, coming out might not necessarily be easy too.
"This is?"
When everyone saw the spirit formation key that Chu Feng held in his hand, they were all shocked. Especially the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, Bai Ruochen, and Bai Ruochen's mother; a boundless amount of astonishment was being displayed on their faces. It was as if they recognized that spirit formation key.
"Lord Headmaster, Senior Sectmaster, this is something that I discovered on the tenth floor. I believe it should be the keepsake that our ancestor left behind." Chu Feng held the spirit formation key and said as he walked forward.
"Chu Feng, you reached the top?" At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing's face was filled with joy and ecstasy. Although he had suspected that might be the case, when Chu Feng said those words, it was equivalent to Chu Feng declaring that he had reached the top.
"That's right, this is it." As for the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, he was directly handed the spirit formation key by Chu Feng. The Ascension Sect's sectmaster did not try to conceal his expression, thus the joy on his face was not inferior to that of Sikong Zhaixing in the slightest.
After he said those words, Sikong Zhaixing became even more excited. Since the Ascension Sect's sectmaster admitted to it, it meant even more that what Chu Feng brought back was the keepsake, and that he truly succeeded.
It had already been several thousand years since the Southern Cyanwood Forest's founder, Baili Xuankong, established the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. In these several thousand years, countless people from their Southern Cyanwood Forest tried to climb the pagoda. However, not one of them had succeeded.
Yet today, Chu Feng actually did. He successfully obtained the keepsake from the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. How could Sikong Zhaixing possibly not be excited?
The dreams of countless generations from the Southern Cyanwood Forest had actually been accomplished in his generation. Most importantly, at this moment, Sikong Zhaixing believed even more firmly that Chu Feng was the person that Baili Xuankong had been waiting for, the hope of their Southern Cyanwood Forest.
"This…" However, right at the moment when Sikong Zhaixing was immersed in joy, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster began to frown.
"Sectmaster Zhou, is there something wrong?" Seeing this, Sikong Zhaixing hurriedly asked. He truly feared that there would be something wrong.
Right now, he was certain that Chu Feng was their Southern Cyanwood Forest's hope. However, he could not guarantee that nothing would happen to Chu Feng in the Cyanwood Mountain.
Thus, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that the Ascension Sect would be willing to help them and protect Chu Feng. If that was the case, he would feel a lot more relieved.
"Headmaster Sikong, little friend Chu Feng, come with me." Suddenly, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster soared into the sky. Bai Ruochen and her mother also followed behind him.
They did not immediately fly away. Instead, they stood in the air and looked to Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing; they were waiting for them.
Seeing this, Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing looked to each other and then soared into the sky to follow the other three.
Just like this, with the Ascension Sect's sectmaster leading them, Chu Feng and Sikong Zhaixing were brought to an exceptionally grand and glorious ancient palace.
This ancient palace was truly extraordinary. Not only did it possess a grand exterior, there were also multiple layers of spirit formations placed on it, and it even possessed management elders as guards. From a single glance, they could tell that this was a forbidden area of the Ascension Sect.
The Ascension Sect's sectmaster brought Chu Feng and the others into the ancient palace.
After entering the ancient palace, Chu Feng discovered that the interior of the palace was also extremely imposing. However, what caught Chu Feng's attention the most was the enormous sculpture within the palace.
The sculpture was close to a hundred meters tall, and appeared very magnificent. However, what shocked Chu Feng the most was that the sculpture's appearance was exactly the same as the sculpture that he saw at the top of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
"This is…" Seeing this sculpture, doubt emerged in Chu Feng's eyes.
This ancient palace was not only magnificent, it also appeared to have been constructed a very long time ago. One could tell that it was a sacred place of the Ascension Sect. However, why would they place the sculpture of their Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestor in the center of this sort of sacred place?
"Junior Zhou Zhixian pays his respect to ancestor." Right at the moment when he was doubting, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster suddenly kneeled to the ground and kowtowed to the sculpture.
"Junior Sikong Zhaixing pays his respect to senior Ouyang." At the same time, Sikong Zhaixing actually also knelt to the ground and paid great respects to the sculpture.
"Senior Sikong, this is?" Seeing this, Chu Feng seemed to have realized something. Thus, he asked Sikong Zhaixing through voice transmission.
"This is the founder of the Ascension Sect, our Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestor's close friend. Accordingly, we should also kneel to pay our respects," replied Sikong Zhaixing.
"Junior Chu Feng pays his respect to senior Ouyang." Hearing those words, Chu Feng cupped his fist respectfully to that sculpture. However, he did not pay his respects as severely with kneeling.
The reason for that was very simple. Even if this person was the close friend of Baili Xuankong, the founder of the Ascension Sect was, after all, not Chu Feng's ancestor. Thus, Chu Feng could either kneel or not kneel to pay his respects. As for Chu Feng, he elected to not kneel, simply because this was not his ancestor.
"Yoh, this is truly strange. So the sculpture on top of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda was actually that of the Ascension Sect's ancestor?" At this moment, Eggy was unable to contain herself and spoke out. Earlier, like Chu Feng, she had thought that the sculpture was that of Baili Xuankong.
Actually, Chu Feng was also very surprised at this moment. Thus, he sent a voice transmission to Sikong Zhaixing and asked once again, "Senior Sikong, the Ascension Sect possessed the sculpture of their founder. How come I have never seen the sculpture of our senior Baili Xuankong in our Southern Cyanwood Forest?"
"Regarding this, it was said that our Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestor did not permit others to create portraits or sculptures of him. That is the reason why our Southern Cyanwood Forest does not have a sculpture of Ancestor Baili," said Sikong Zhaixing.
"So that's the reason why." Chu Feng nodded. He did not bother to think too much about it. After all, some people were strange to begin with, and there were indeed people who were not fond of having their appearances casually depicted by other people.
Right at this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, who had displayed his great respect through kneeling and kowtowing, stood back up and asked Chu Feng, "Little friend Chu Feng, you have been recognized as the master of this spirit formation key, right?" Moreover, the gaze with which he looked at Chu Feng was very serious. Being fixed upon by such a gaze caused Chu Feng to feel a bit uncomfortable.
However, Chu Feng did not lie. Instead, he nodded and said, "Junior has indeed become the master of this spirit formation key. Might there be something wrong with that?"
"Amazing, truly too amazing. You were actually capable of being recognized by this formation spirit key as its master." Hearing those words, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster looked as if a weight had been lifted off his mind. While inspecting Chu Feng, he nodded and praised. His state appeared to be slightly emotional.
While this was happening, the gaze with which Bai Ruochen looked at Chu Feng also turned to one of shock. As for Bai Ruochen's mother, her gaze was even more complicated.
Just like this, after a long while, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster turned his gaze to Sikong Zhaixing and said, "Headmaster Sikong, so many years have passed, so many seniors have died; I believe it is time that I allow the world to know about this."
"Sectmaster Zhou, you mean?" Sikong Zhaixing was confused.
"It is time to allow the world to know that our Ascension Sect and your Southern Cyanwood Forest are actually allied powers," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.

Chapter 1103 – Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies
"Sectmaster Zhou, you mean to say?" At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing was immensely happy.
"My ancestor's words cannot be disobeyed. Back then, our ancestor said that as long as someone from your Southern Cyanwood Forest is capable of obtaining the keepsake from the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda, our Ascension Sect would be in an alliance with your Southern Cyanwood Forest, and live and die alongside it, sharing everything."
"According to the words left by our ancestor, what little friend Chu Feng obtained was precisely the keepsake from the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. Hence, from today, our Ascension Sect shall be a part of your Southern Cyanwood Forest and your Southern Cyanwood Forest will also be a part of our Ascension Sect. As long as the Ascension Sect exist, the Southern Cyanwood Forest will also exist."
"Very well. From today hence, our Southern Cyanwood Forest will exist and perish alongside the Ascension Sect, sharing everything." Hearing those words, Sikong Zhaixing repeatedly nodded his head.
He was able to sense the sincerity of the Ascension Sect's sectmaster; they truly wanted to ally themselves with his Southern Cyanwood Forest. As for this, it was precisely what he had wished and hoped for. It was also the purpose for his coming this time around. And now, for this to actually happen, he would naturally be extremely overjoyed.
"Headmaster Sikong, there is actually another reason why I brought you two here today. I wish to have little friend Chu Feng help me with a matter," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"Oh? Sectmaster Zhou, what might it be that you need help with?" asked Sikong Zhaixing.
"Senior sectmaster, if there is anything you need, feel free to ask away." Chu Feng also spoke.
"Regarding this, I would have to explain from the beginning." As the Ascension Sect's sectmaster said those words, he placed his hand onto his Cosmos Sack. As his Cosmos Sack flickered with light, a spirit formation key appeared in his hand.
This spirit formation key was very similar in appearance to the one that Chu Feng obtained. Other than a slight difference, it was simply identical.
Most importantly, these two spirit formation keys emitted the same sort of aura. It meant that the two of them ought to have been created by a single person and were both extraordinary items.
"Actually, back then, it was not only your Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestor, Senior Baili, who gave your Southern Cyanwood Forest a difficult problem to solve, our Ascension Sect's ancestor also gave our Ascension Sect a difficult problem to solve."
"Although our Ascension Sect is currently not lacking in Mortal Taboo Martial Skills, they were all Martial Skills that our Ascension Sect's seniors obtained themselves; none of them were related to our ancestor."
"Thus, back then, our Ascension Sect's ancestor did not leave behind his techniques to our Ascension Sect. At the very least, he did not pass on his special Martial Skills to us. Instead, he had placed them in a special place."
"As for the place that stored our ancestor's Martial Skills, it is this place." The Ascension Sect's sectmaster said.
"Here?" Sikong Zhaixing was surprised. He was not surprised because this was the place where the Ascension Sect's ancestor's special Martial Skills were stored. Instead, he was surprised that the Ascension Sect's ancestor had actually not passed his methods on to the Ascension Sect.
However, even with that being the case, the Ascension Sect still managed to become greatly developed. At the very least, it was many times stronger than his own Southern Cyanwood Forest. This shocked him, as it meant that it was not only because their ancestor Baili Xuankong did not leave his techniques to them that their Southern Cyanwood Forest had reached such a desolate state; it was also because they, the successive generations, were too weak.
It turned out that the true reason why their Southern Cyanwood Forest had deteriorated so far was because of themselves.
"That's right. This is the place. Hidden in this place are the Taboo Martial Skills left behind by my ancestor. Not only are there Mortal Taboo Martial Skills, there is also an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"Earthen Taboo Martial Skill?"
Hearing those words, Sikong Zhaixing was once again surprised. In the Holy Land of Martialism, Mortal Taboo Martial Skills were relatively numerous. However, Earthen Taboo Martial Skills were much rarer. At the very least, for powers like themselves, while they could train in Mortal Taboo Martial Skills, they did not currently have any Earthen Taboo Martial Skills to train in.
Even if someone managed to obtain an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill, they would generally obtain those from some sort of ancient era's remnants. For Martial Skills like those, they would generally be limited to be used only by the person who obtained it, and were unable to be passed on to others.
Thus, there were very few places within the Southern Cyanwood Domain that possessed Earthen Taboo Martial Skills to train in. Other than the colossal Cyanwood Mountain, there were not many powers that possessed Earthen Taboo Martial Skills.
If the Ascension Sect were to obtain an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill that they could allow their disciples to train in, their reputation would definitely be much more resounding.
"Headmaster Sikong, have you ever heard before that our sect's ancestor and senior Baili knew of a kind of fusion Martial Skill?"
"That Martial Skill is extremely valiant, and possessed the power to bring about destruction to the heavens and the earth. Even ordinary Earthen Taboo Martial Skills would be no match before it."
"Although it is a Martial Skill that cannot be used alone, as long as two individuals are present, they would be able to activate it. Furthermore, as long as it could be activated, practically nothing and no one would be able to stop its path. Using this Martial Skill, our ancestor's names have resounded throughout the entire Cyanwood Domain," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"That is something that I have heard of too. It is said that that Martial Skill is a special technique belonging to the two of them. It is also the reason why they were seen by the world as the best of friends." Sikong Zhaixing nodded.
"In the words left behind by my ancestor, he said that the special fusion Martial Skill that he and senior Baili grasped is hidden in this place. As for that, it is the Earthen Taboo Martial Skill that I have mentioned," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"What? That fusion Martial Skill is actually still in existence?" Upon hearing those words, shock was written all over Sikong Zhaixing's face. Even though he had only heard about the fusion Martial Skill, he knew that the fusion Martial Skill was Baili Xuankong and the Ascension Sect's ancestor's supreme skill. Other than the two of them, there was simply no one else who knew about this fusion Martial Skill.
It was precisely because the fusion Martial Skill was extremely powerful and was used by fusing their martial powers, it led to the fusion Martial Skill to be practically unrivalled among the Earthen Taboo Martial Skills. It was this reason that led to many people feeling pity because it failed to be passed on.
Yet now, the fusion Martial Skill that their ancestors had grasped was actually still in existence. This meant that the exceptional Martial Skill that everyone thought to be lost was actually still in existence. How could Sikong Zhaixing not be excited for this?
However, after thinking about it, he felt a bit desolate. Although this fusion martial skill's fame was widespread, it was something shared by his Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestor and the Ascension Sect's ancestor. Yet now, it was in the possession of the Ascension Sect. This inevitably caused him to feel a bit of jealousy for the Ascension Sect's good luck.
If it was to be said that a single Earthen Taboo Martial Skill would be able to cause the Ascension Sect's reputation to resound even greater, then this fusion Martial Skill would definitely be able to resound the name of the Ascension Sect throughout the entire Cyanwood Domain, and bring about countless outstanding younger generations that wanted to join the ranks of the Ascension Sect. With this, the Ascension Sect's power would rise abruptly.
"According to the words left behind by my ancestor, the fusion Martial Skill is indeed still in existence, and is located in this place. Furthermore, that fusion Martial Skill possessed a name that few people knew – Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster with a great amount of certainty.
"Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies, this is truly a great name," praised Sikong Zhaixing with admiration.
"Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies is not a Martial Skill that anyone could train in. Only heavenly geniuses like our ancestors are capable of learning it successfully. Furthermore, it required two people to know this fusion Martial Skill in order for it to be used."
"In our entire Ascension Sect, and your Southern Cyanwood Forest, I believe only my daughter, Bai Ruochen, and little friend Chu Feng, possess the potential required to learn this Martial Skill. Therefore, I wish that the two of them learn this Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies together," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"Truly?" Hearing those words, Sikong Zhaixing was immediately overjoyed. That was because the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies was no small matter. If Chu Feng was able to learn it, it would definitely be an extremely joyous occasion. That was because not only does the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies possess extraordinary power, it also signified a kind of inheritance, the inheritance from their Southern Cyanwood Forest's ancestor.
"Of course," The Ascension Sect's sectmaster gently stroked his beard and nodded. However, after that, he laughed and said, "However, before that, we would still need to obtain my ancestor's remains. This is what I wanted little friend Chu Feng to help me with."

Chapter 1104 – Excessively Powerful
"Woosh, woosh, woosh."
After he finished saying those words, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster began to move his hands and create all sorts of special hand seals.
At the same time, numerous streams of golden spirit energy spilled out from within his body like little serpents. They swam around in the air, and finally assimilated into the sculpture of the Ascension Sect's ancestor.
"Buzz." As the golden spirit energy assimilated with the sculpture, the sculpture began to emit a faint flicker of light. After that, it actually started to slowly move. Moreover, its speed began to grow faster and faster. When the sculpture completely moved to the side, a spirit formation gate actually appeared at the location where the sculpture was previously.
This spirit formation gate was square-shaped. However, it was no ordinary spirit formation gate. It was clear that the spirit formation gate had been created through spirit formation techniques. However, it appeared like an 'actual' gate. Most importantly, this spirit formation gate was impregnable. If one must find a weakness in this spirit formation gate, then there would only be one place — the two key holes. As long as one possessed the keys to those holes, one would be able to open the spirit formation gate.
"Swoosh."
"Swoosh."
Right at this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster inserted the two spirit formation keys into the holes on the spirit formation gate. However, even though the keys had been inserted, there was still no change to the spirit formation gate.
"Ruochen, Chu Feng, it's up to you two now." The Ascension Sect's sectmaster appeared to have anticipated this. He cast his gaze toward Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen.
Seeing this, Bai Ruochen directly walked toward the spirit formation gate. Using her lily-white hands, she grasped the first spirit formation key, causing it to immediately radiate with light.
As the spirit formation key radiated with light, the spirit formation gate also began to dazzle with light. Furthermore, the runes and symbols on any portion of the spirit formation gate that the light touched would begin to move about, left and right, as if they were alive.
However, the light only covered half of the spirit formation gate. As for the other half, it remained the same as before, without any change.
At this moment, Chu Feng finally understood what was going on. After the spirit formation keys recognized their masters, only the masters of their respective keys would be able to activate the keys. He was recognized as the master of one spirit formation key on top of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. As for the other key, it was obvious that it recognized Bai Ruochen as its master.
Thus, Chu Feng did not hesitate anymore and directly walked forward. Using his hand, he grabbed the key that had recognized him as its master. After grabbing it, the key in his hand began to emit light much like Bai Ruochen's spirit formation key.
The light assimilated into the spirit formation gate, illuminating its other half. At this moment, the runes and symbols on top of the spirit formation gate began to circulate through it. At the same time, rumbling also sounded out from within the spirit formation gate.
"Chu Feng, Ruochen, fall back." Seeing this, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster shouted loudly.
As for Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen, they both leapt backward and away from the spirit formation gate.
"Buzz." After the two of them jumped back, the spirit formation gate actually began to disperse within the strong light. At this moment, a deep and bottomless tunnel, that no one knew where it led, appeared at the location where the spirit formation gate previously stood.
"This place is the location where my ancestor left the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies behind." At this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster was overjoyed. With a wave of his gown, he suddenly jumped. Bringing with him a powerful might, he was trying to enter into the tunnel.
"Boom."
However, right when his legs entered the tunnel, he was bounced back by a powerful force. The force of the rebound was so strong that it nearly caused him to crash into the wall.
"There's actually a protective screen?" At this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster was standing in the airspace above the palace hall after having been rebounded. He was frowning deeply; the joy on his face was completely gone, and replaced with shock.
"Allow me to try." Seeing this, Bai Ruochen's mother decided to give it a try. With a movement of her body and a sway of her long skirt, she arrived before the tunnel's entrance.
"Boom." However, like the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, Bai Ruochen's mother was also launched backward by the force of the tunnel the moment she entered it.
"Woosh, woosh." However, she did not give up so easily. At the moment when she was ejected, she waved her hand and two flying needles, formed by martial energy and spirit power, were shot out by her toward the tunnel.
"Bang!" However, who would've thought, that the moment when the two needles entered the tunnel, they were not bounced back. Instead, they were detonated by a formless power. The might of the power causing the explosion was so strong that it even brought an overwhelming shock to the Ascension Sect's sectmaster and Bai Ruochen's mother.
"This is not good, there is indeed a protective screen. If we try to force our way in, I fear that it might cost us our lives, for that protective screen is truly too powerful." Bai Ruochen's mother shook her head and came up with a conclusion of being unable to proceed.
"Why would it be like this? We have clearly already opened the spirit formation gate. Why is it that we cannot enter? Lord ancestor, why must you make things so difficult for us?…" The Acension Sect's sectmaster's face was filled with confusion and an expression which was hard to describe with words.
It was a kind of worried appearance. An extremely desolated worry. He had hoped for this day to come for a very long time. And now, the spirit formation gate was finally open. Yet, he was unable to enter it. This gave him the sensation of having all of his hopes being crushed in an instant; it was an extremely painful feeling.
"Chu Feng, what are you doing? Don't go over there." Right at this moment, Sikong Zhaixing suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing that shout, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster and Bai Ruochen's mother noticed that Chu Feng had actually already arrived in front of the tunnel. Moreover, he was currently placing his foot into the tunnel.
"Chu Feng, what are you doing? There's an extremely powerful protective screen around that tunnel. Your cultivation is insufficient, do not try anything reckless." At this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster also spoke.
However, who would've thought that Chu Feng would actually ignore their warnings and directly enter the tunnel. But, to their enormous surprise, Chu Feng entered the tunnel safe and sound; there was no rejection from the protective screen.
"This… what is going on?" At this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster was completely stunned.
Soon, Chu Feng flew back out from the tunnel and landed before them.
"I understand now. It is not that the protective screen is not there; instead, it only prevents us from entering. As for Chu Feng and Ruochen, they have opened this place. Thus, the two of them are not obstructed by the protective screen. Chu Feng, you are truly too smart." Bai Ruochen's mother suddenly came to a realization and began to praise Chu Feng repeatedly.
At this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster and Sikong Zhaixing also understood why Chu Feng did not heed their warnings earlier. It turned out that he had already guessed that this would be the case. Yet they, leaders of powers who have lived for numerous years, were unable to anticipate that.
This caused them to have a whole new level of respect for Chu Feng. At the same time, they began to look at Chu Feng with a new light, they also felt ashamed of themselves.
"Senior Sectmaster, I suspect that only Miss Bai and I are able to enter this tunnel. Why don't you allow Miss Bai and I to enter in your place and obtain your ancestor's remnants for you?" Chu Feng suggested.
"Sigh. As the matter stands, there is no other alternative. Merely, Chu Feng, Ruochen, I believe that there would be a deep intention in the Lord Ancestor's placing of such a restriction. I fear that there will be great difficulties and dangers within this tunnel. You two, you must be careful. If you are to encounter a hurdle that you cannot pass, you must not try to force your way through," advised the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"Senior, please rest assured." Chu Feng cupped his fist respectfully. Then, he looked to Bai Ruochen and said with a smile, "Miss Bai, let's go." After he finished those words, with a movement of his body, Chu Feng entered the tunnel.
Seeing this, Bai Ruochen curled her lips. She muttered something that no one else could hear, then moved her frail body and also entered into tunnel. Sure enough, there was no obstruction for her either.
As he saw the two of them disappearing into the tunnel, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster displayed a complicated expression. Shortly after, he turned to Sikong Zhaixing and said, "Headmaster Sikong, this disciple of yours is a bit excessively powerful."

Chapter 1105 – She's Plotting Something
"Sectmaster Zhou, what do you mean by those words?" Sikong Zhaixing was frowning slightly. He felt that there was a hidden meaning behind the words spoken by the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"Not only does little friend Chu Feng possess outstanding talent, he is also surpassingly quick-witted and courageous. Moreover, with his young age, he has already obtained an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill. This means that his family of origin should also be extraordinary."
"Headmaster Sikong, may I know where exactly little friend Chu Feng came from, for him to be this extraordinary?" asked the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"This…" Sikong Zhaixing was a bit hesitant to answer the Ascension Sect's sectmaster's question. However, in the end, he decided to answer honestly. "Chu Feng is not a person from the Holy Land of Martialism. He is from the Southern Sea Region."
"What? He's actually from the Southern Sea Region?" Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen's mother cried in shock. The surprise in her charming eyes was simply uncontainable.
Actually, even the Ascension Sect's sectmaster was acting in such a surprised manner. Merely, at this moment, other than shock, there was also a trace of envy and admiration on his face.
He said, "The Southern Cyanwood Forest has guarded the exit to the Southern Sea Region's Heavenly Road and was faced with mockery by others for all these years. Finally, the bitter times for your Southern Cyanwood Forest are over and the sweet times began. Senior Baili truly possessed a great foresight."
"However, although this child Chu Feng's talent is extraordinary, he appears to be a bit of a show-off. Adding on the techniques and skills that he possessed, after he enters the Cyanwood Mountain, even if he does not take the initiative to provoke others, he will still create many enemies there."
"Sigh." When mentioning this matter, Sikong Zhaixing heaved a long sigh. He was also extremely worried about Chu Feng. As the saying goes, 'the intentions of others should be feared.' In Cyanwood Mountain, this holds even more truth.
Although the disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain were said to be fellow disciples, they all contained their own selfish motives. During Sikong Zhaixing's youth, he had also trained in Cyanwood Mountain, and was one of its excellent core disciples. Thus, he knew very well how intense the open battles and shadowy battles in the Cyanwood Mountain were. Most importantly, Cyanwood Mountain would prohibit battles between disciples on the surface, but do nothing about it in actuality.
There was nothing that they could do about it. The disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain, especially the core disciples, were all crucial candidates to succeed in the great undertaking of the Cyanwood Mountain. Even the Headmaster and the management elders that possessed great powers would have to be selected from the core disciples.
However, this made it so that the disciples, especially among powerful disciples, would rarely possess the characteristics and emotions of people from the same sect. On the surface, they appeared to be harmonious with one another. However, beneath the surface, they treated each other as enemies.
It was so much so, that if there were someone who possessed a certain treasure on them, they would be focused upon by other disciples and killed when they left the Cyanwood Mountain to go on missions. Killing and stealing another's possessions was something that would occur every year.
Even the ones that were caught and heavily punished numbered in the several hundreds every year. And what about those that were not caught? They were simply uncountable, and unimaginably numerous.
As for this, this was precisely what Sikong Zhaixing was worried about. Chu Feng's talent was outstanding; not only did he possess extraordinary techniques and skills, he also possessed a peak quality Royal Armament. Yet, he does not have any powerful backing and was instead someone from the Southern Sea Region. On top of that, he possessed the temperament of someone who refuses to acknowledge losses.
Thus, after he entered the Cyanwood Mountain, Chu Feng's enemies would likely not be limited to only the Orion Monastery. Not to mention disciples, it was even possible for elders to fix their eyes upon Chu Feng's property.
This naturally caused Sikong Zhaixing to become worried. Before, he only knew that Chu Feng possessed extraordinary talent, and did not know that Chu Feng possessed so many techniques, an invaluable king of Royal Armaments and even an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill that ordinary powers did not possess. If this was to be known after he entered the Cyanwood Mountain, it would likely incite the desires of many powers.
As if he had seen through the worries that clouded Sikong Zhaixing, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster said, "Brother Sikong, you do not have to be too worried about it. Our two powers have already entered an alliance now. Not only is Chu Feng your Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple, he is also equivalent to being a disciple of our Ascension Sect. Our Ascension Sect will spare no effort to protect him."
"That's right, of course…" Hearing those words, Sikong Zhaixing nodded repeatedly. The worry in his heart immediately lessened greatly. He was an experienced individual, and knew that the Ascension Sect's sectmaster was showing his sincerity, the sincerity of becoming allies with his Southern Cyanwood Forest.
"Sigh, in my opinion, these two children are very well matched. Don't you think so, Headmaster Sikong?" Suddenly, Bai Ruochen's mother said those words smilingly.
"Eh, this…" At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing's expression stiffened. He was caught off-guard by the words suddenly spoken by Bai Ruochen's mother, and did not know how to respond.
In fact, it was not limited to Sikong Zhaixing, as even the Ascension Sect's sectmaster was opening his mouth wide in shock.
"Hehe, I'm just joking. Look at how shocked the two of you became."
"I advocate the free love of youngsters, and would most definitely arrange a marriage for them." Seeing their reactions, Bai Ruochen's mother covered her mouth and laughed. Only then did Sikong Zhaixing and the Ascension Sect's sectmaster heaved a breath of relief.
To be honest, Sikong Zhaixing truly felt that they were a perfect match too. Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen's cultivations were truly well-matched. However, for two people to be together, they must be harmonious. As for Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen, they did not appear to have any passion for the other party at all. If the two of them were to be put together, it would not go too well.
However, after Bai Ruochen's mother said those words, Sikong Zhaixing began to have an idea of secretly playing the matchmaker and putting the two of them together. After all, the Ascension Sect and their Southern Cyanwood Forest had now become allies. If the two of them were able to have a connection through marriage, it would be an even happier occasion.
However, when he looked to Bai Ruochen's mother, he felt a bit of unrest. He do not dare to determine whether this woman was joking as she said those words, or whether she truly has the intention, because she was truly too difficult to see through.
Even though Bai Ruochen's mother's age was way younger than his and the Ascension Sect's sectmaster's, and she was truly of the younger generation when compared to them, she gave Sikong Zhaixing an extremely incomprehensible sensation. It was so much so that he felt a trace of danger from her, causing him to fear her heartily.
As for Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen, neither of them knew about the scheme that Sikong Zhaixing had. At this moment, the two of them had reached the deepest part of the tunnel.
The tunnel was no longer going straight down. Instead, it began to go across. Furthermore, the square-shaped tunnel was extremely spacious and carefully decorated. Even the illuminating stones on the either wall were especially bright and white in color, as opposed to the ordinary green, and illuminated the tunnel as if they were out in daylight.
Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen walked within the bright tunnel. They did not try to run to the end because there were paintings carved on the sides of the tunnel. They were paintings of people, beasts and battles. It seemed as if they were there to tell the story of an individual, and of that individual's life.
Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen were involuntarily attracted to these paintings. This was a rare moment of tranquility for them. That was because the two of them knew that if they continued onward, they would likely not meet such a tranquil place, and dangers and difficulties would definitely welcome them ahead.
Suddenly, Chu Feng asked, "Miss Bai, why did you lie?"
"What are you talking about?" Bai Ruochen cast a glance at Chu Feng. She displayed an expression of bewilderment.
"You clearly reached the ninth floor in the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. Why did you say that you've only reached the sixth floor?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
"What does this have to do with you?" Bai Ruochen once again cast Chu Feng a glance. After that, she quickened her speed.
Chu Feng remained calm after the two side glances from Bai Ruochen. He was already accustomed to this. Although this girl's age was younger than his own, she was totally an ice beauty. For Chu Feng, among the women that he knew, likely only Tantai Xue was as cold as this Bai Ruochen.
However, at this moment, Chu Feng was laughing in his heart. Although Bai Ruochen did not tell him the reason why, she had indirectly admitted that she had reached the ninth floor of the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda.
Suddenly, Bai Ruochen turned around and said, "how about this, you promise me one thing, and I'll tell you why." Moreover, a rare glittering smile appeared on her ice-cold face.
When this girl smiled like this, she was truly beautiful. It was like a blooming lotus flower within a field of ice, fascinatingly beautiful.
However, at this moment, Chu Feng cursed in his heart. That was because three words were clearly written within her smile – she's plotting something.1

Chapter 1106 – Formation Space
Even though the words 'there's a conspiracy' were clearly written on Bai Ruochen's beautiful face, how would Chu Feng, as a man, possibly fear a feeble girl like her?
Thus, Chu Feng stuck his chest out and raised his head. With a smile on his face and a grandeur of taking on risk despite knowing dangers, he calmly asked. "Miss Bai, what is it that you might want?"
"That door ahead, you go and open it. After you open it, you are to lead the way. Can you do that?" Bai Ruochen pointed her hand to the front of the tunnel.
Turning his head to look, Chu Feng discovered that a large door had actually appeared at the front of the tunnel. That door was not a spirit formation door, it was an ordinary wooden door. However, the wooden door was instilled with a spirit formation that caused one to be unable to see through it with spirit power. Thus, they did not know what awaited them behind the door; whether it might be good or bad.
At this moment, Chu Feng cursed in his heart. This girl was truly not someone easy to deal with. She feared that there would be danger behind the door, and wanted Chu Feng to be her shield. However, it remained that Chu Feng was a man. As a man, protecting a woman is a matter of course. Thus, even if Bai Ruochen had not requested for him to walk in the front, he would still have done so.
"Come come come, step aside, let a man do this kind of dangerous thing." Chu Feng patted his chest and stepped forward. His body suddenly shifted and disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already arrived before the wooden door. Most importantly, when Chu Feng appeared, a 'bang' sound was heard; the wooden door was open.
At the moment when the wooden door was opened, a dazzling light shone from the door. As the dazzling light slowly dissipated, Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen discovered that what was behind the door was a vast whiteness.
It was an extremely vast space where one could not see the boundary, the peak, the ground nor anything dangerous. However, in the distance of that vast space floated a chest.
It was a wooden chest. An ancient and shabby wooden chest that appeared to have gone through countless years. Even the wood was about to be completely decomposed. However, even though it was extremely shabby-looking, the wooden chest was not truly decomposing. Just like that, it floated on, there in the distance, giving off a boundless amount of enticement.
"If my guess is correct, then Senior Ouyang's remains should be in that wooden chest."
"Miss Bai, I fear that the remains will not be that easily obtainable. Wait for me here, I'll go and get it for you." As Chu Feng said those words, he directly walked into the space.
"Woosh." However, who would've thought that right after Chu Feng entered that space, a figure flew over and landed before Chu Feng. It was Bai Ruochen.
"Miss Bai, you…" To discover that Bai Ruochen had actually followed him and even stood before him, Chu Feng was somewhat surprised.
"Do not be moved, this lady here is merely afraid that you will snatch away the remains left behind by our Ascension Sect's ancestor." Bai Ruochen cast a glance at Chu Feng.
"Truly a stubborn girl." Chu Feng curled his lips at Bai Ruochen's actions. He was able to tell that while Bai Ruochen feared that there might be dangers, she also did not trust him.
However, Chu Feng still asked. "It's you who wanted me to open the door and walk in the front. But now that you walked ahead of me, what should we do about this matter then? Miss Bai, are you to go back on your word and not keep your promise?"
"I have indeed only reached the ninth floor. As for the reason why I said I only reached the sixth floor, it is because I do not want to bother with those human remains." Bai Ruochen answered.
"Is that truly it?" Chu Feng questioned.
"To believe me or not is up to you." Bai Ruochen refused to explain. With a movement of her body, she flew directly toward the wooden chest. Her speed was extremely fast; she was planning to use her rapid speed to quickly approach the wooden box and obtain it.
"Woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh." However, right after Bai Ruochen moved, the space before the wooden chest began to wiggle. Immediately after, several tens of figures appeared before the wooden chest.
Those figures were human shaped figures of lights. However, they gave off extremely powerful auras. A total of fifty six human-shaped figures of light; they were actually all rank five Martial Kings. Furthermore, the weapons that they held in their hands, the long spears made out of light, were also emitting an aura similar to that of Royal Armaments.
Most importantly, after these fifty six human-shaped figures of light appeared, they all emitted fierce killing intent and began to directly attack Bai Ruochen.
Furthermore, their attacks were not ordinary either. They did not attack blindly, but instead intertwined their attacks with one another in perfect coordination. Their attacks surrounded Bai Ruochen like a large formation. Moreover, due to the fact that the two parties were close to one another, and the opponents' attacks were too fast, Bai Ruochen and the figures of light entered battle in an instant.
While those human-shaped figures of light were not living things, and appeared more like killing machines, the battle power that they possessed was not something to be looked down upon. They were definitely not as simple as being ordinary rank five Martial Kings. If there were only one or two of them, then that would be alright. However, to be surrounded and attacked by a total of fifty-six human shaped figures of light caused even Bai Ruochen to express an expression of alarm and hastily take out her Platinum Dragon Whip to counterattack.
"Miss Bai, do you need my assistance?" Seeing this scene, Chu Feng smiled. He was in no rush to join the battle.
"Who cares if you help or not." Who would've thought, Bai Ruochen was extremely stubborn. Not only did she not request Chu Feng's help, she even glared at him ferociously. However, from her words, one could tell that she actually hoped that Chu Feng would help her.
While it was true that with Bai Ruochen's strength, she was able to completely handle this bunch of human-shaped figures of light if she was to go all out, it was evident that she did not want to exhaust too much of her strength to deal with these figures of light.
"Girl, you truly do not know how to speak. However, taking your father into consideration, I'll help you." Chu Feng laughed mischievously. He took out his Demon Sealing Sword and joined the battle.
From the beginning, Chu Feng had no plan of watching without helping. Earlier, the reason why he asked that question was all so that he could tease this goddess-like yet uncommunicative little beauty.
After all, her age was the perfect age for one to be happy and bright. Yet, no such things could be seen on Bai Ruochen. This caused Chu Feng to feel regret for her and have an urge to provoke her.
However, everyone was different. Especially something like one's temperament was something that could not be forcibly changed. That was the reason why Chu Feng decided to stop teasing her and join the battle. Once Chu Feng joined the battle, he was like a God of War that brought about massacre within a specific range.
At this moment, the pressure on Bai Ruochen immediately lessened. Although the two of them were killing without communicating and bothering with one another, and it could be said that there was no coordination between them, they managed to rapidly kill all of these figures of light.
After eliminating the human shaped figures of light, Bai Ruochen asked, "what did you say earlier? My father? Who is my father?"
"The Ascension Sect's sectmaster, Senior Zhou. Is he not your father?" Chu Feng replied.
"Listen carefully, he is not my father. If you dare to speak about relationships randomly, do not blame me for teaching you a lesson." Bai Ruochen's gaze flashed. With a very serious expression, she said those words. Furthermore, as she said those words, a very dense killing intent emerged in her eyes.
At this moment, Chu Feng was startled. Although he knew for certain that Bai Ruochen was not the Ascension Sect's sectmaster's biological daughter, it remained that Bai Ruochen's mother had married the Ascension Sect's sectmaster. Logically, Bai Ruochen should be calling the Ascension Sect's sectmaster 'father'.
However, not only did she not call him father, she instead denied the father-daughter relationship flatly. Furthermore, her attitude toward it was very vile. This inevitably caused Chu Feng to doubt in his heart. "This Bai Ruochen's reaction is off."

Chapter 1107 – Only One Lives
After fiercely glaring at Chu Feng with eyes filled with killing intent, Bai Ruochen slowly walked toward the wooden chest again.
However, right at this moment, Chu Feng's expression took a huge, sudden change; he loudly shouted. "Miss Bai, step back."
"What?" Bai Ruochen was confused by Chu Feng's sudden change. She turned around and stared at him blankly.
Seeing that Bai Ruochen did not step back, Chu Feng decided to take matters into his own hands. He stepped beside her, grabbed her wrist and began to run toward the entrance that they came in from.
"What are you doing? Let me go." Chu Feng's sudden action brought alarm to Bai Ruochen, causing her to struggle furiously.
"Don't move. Follow me, we have to leave this place, it's dangerous here." Seeing her reaction, Chu Feng became worried; he shouted loudly at Bai Ruochen because he truly felt that a frightening power was currently being collected in the space around them.
Being shouted at by Chu Feng in such a manner, Bai Ruochen's frail body shivered. She stopped resisting and did not refute him either; obediently, she allowed Chu Feng to bring her toward the entrance without uttering a word.
"Buzz." However, right when the two of them were about to reach the entrance of the tunnel, a light covered them from behind and sealed off the entrance completely.
"What is happening?" Seeing this, Bai Ruochen was even more shocked. At this moment, she finally realized something was wrong.
"Damn it, we're still a step late." At this moment, Chu Feng frowned deeply. He turned around and cast his gaze deeply at the space that they fled from.
"That is?" Seeing Chu Feng's action, Bai Ruochen hurriedly turned around too. When she cast her gaze towards the deep space that they had fled from, her expression took a change for the worse.
That was because at this very moment, a spatial vortex had actually appeared in front of the wooden chest. The spatial vortex was surging and raging as it grew bigger and bigger. In the end, it turned into a colossal figure
It was a giant human-shaped figure of light. Not only did it possess facial features, it was even wearing an armor of light and holding an enormous blade of light. Its body was so large that its height numbered several hundred meters. Standing before Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen, it appeared like an unshakeable mountain. Conversely, Chu Feng and Bia Ruochen were as small as two little ants.
Most importantly, when this enormous figure of light appeared, an extremely frightening oppressive might also flooded the entire space. Before this oppressive might, not to mention resisting, Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen were unable to move even half a step. As if petrified, they stood in the air like stones. Other than being able to speak, the two of them were unable to do anything else.
This enormous human-shaped figure of light actually possessed a cultivation that could completely suppress both Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen — Half Martial Emperor.
"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
That enormous human shaped figure of light first shouted a low roar. After that, it raised the enormous blade in its hand, instantly creating a strong gale. At this moment, the space that was previously flickering with light became frighteningly dark, as if they were in hell. Likely, if that enormous blade were to land, then Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen would be extinguished into nothing more than smoke.
However, to Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen's great surprise, that enormous figure of light actually spoke with a deep and resounding thunder-like voice. "Of the two of you, only one may live. Whoever it is that says 'kill him' first shall be allowed to live, and will obtain the Martial Skill."
"I will count to three. If no one speak first, then the both of you shall die."
Upon hearing those words, both Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen's expressions changed. What sort of situation was this?
A figure of light that the two of them were simply incapable of defeating wanted Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen to say such a thing. This was not as simple as having Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen kill each other, this was also a type of humiliation because it wanted them to, for the sake of protecting their own life, sacrifice the life of the other.
"One."
However, that enormous figure of light did not give Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen any time to think at all. It began to count immediately. Furthermore, the voice it counted with was extremely loud and clear.
"Stop! Who do you take us to be? We are the descendents of Senior Ouyang and Senior Baili. We have come here for the purpose of obtaining the remains of our ancestors. You cannot kill either one of us." Chu Feng explained. He wanted to test what sort of reaction that enormous figure of light would have.
"Two." However, who would've thought that the enormous figure of light would actually have no reaction at pletely disregarding Chu Feng's explanation, the enormous figure of light counted to two without the slightest hesitation.
"Miss Bai, this is bad. That fellow is simply unable to comprehend our speech. It would appear that the two of us are fated to die here." Chu Feng looked to Bai Ruochen.
"Who said that I will die with you here?" However, who would've thought that even with Chu Feng acting in such a sympathetic manner, Bai Ruochen would actually glance fiercely at Chu Feng. Her glance was so heartless and cold; it was as if Chu Feng would forever be unable to approach her.
"You couldn't possibly be wanting me to die, right? I fear it would be too late, he's going to count to three right away." Chu Feng laughed mischievously. It was as if death was not scary to him at all. At the very least, he did not fear death at this moment.
However, to Chu Feng's amazement, the enormous figure of light that was supposed to say 'three' with a loud and clear voice did not say 'three.' It was as if it was trying to deliberately give Bai Ruochen time to declare that she wanted Chu Feng to die.
At this moment, Chu Feng doubted that something was wrong with the enormous figure of light. After all, it was something formed by a formation array to begin with. It shouldn't be possible for it to actually possess intelligence. As for what it had said earlier, that ought to be something that was set in place by their ancestors.
However, when Chu Feng cast his gaze to the enormous figure of light, black lines came running down his head. On top of that, he felt full of grievances. That was because that enormous figure of light was actually not as simple as being silent. It was actually looking at Bai Ruochen. Furthermore, it simply appeared to be waiting for Bai Ruochen to declare that she wanted Chu Feng to die.
"Fuck, bastard, you're truly too vile. You're truly shameless to the extreme. How badly do you want me to die? You actually deliberately gave Bai Ruochen the time to say those words." Unable to contain himself, Chu Feng cursed out with a loud voice.
Actually, it was not only Chu Feng. Even Bai Ruochen felt speechless. However, in the end, she did not say those words commanding Chu Feng's death, and continued to remain silent.
"Three." Seeing this, the enormous figure of light was immediately filled with killing intent. At the same time, it began to slash downward with the enormous blade in its hand.
As soon as the enormous blade was slashed down, the dazzling light and the fierce killing intent also came crushing down onto the bodies of Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen.
At this moment, Chu Feng felt like his brain had turned blank. After that, something rushed into his head. It was actually a map, a map of the Cyanwood Mountain.
The map clearly declared the hiding place of a certain object. However, it did not mention what that object was. However, Chu Feng subconsciously knew that it was most definitely an amazing item. At the very least, it should be a treasure.
Chu Feng carefully inspected the map in his mind. The more he inspected it, the more joy he felt. That was because this map meant that if he were to enter the Cyanwood Mountain, he would be able to search for the treasure on the map. This was truly an unexpected harvest. Or, in other words, the thing that was listed on the map should be what their ancestors had truly left behind for them.

Chapter 1108 – Waited For You Two
When Chu Feng opened his eyes and cast his awareness to his current self, he discovered that Bai Ruochen had woken up before him. Moreover, she had already obtained the wooden chest. Most importantly, she had an extremely calm expression on her face, as if she had anticipated all of this.
"Heh, it seems that this girl had thought about the same thing as me." At this moment, Chu Feng was unable to contain his smile. He began to have a whole new level of respect for this Bai Ruochen. The reason why Chu Feng did not beg for forgiveness, nor ask for Bai Ruochen to be killed, was because he was practically certain that it was a trial.
After all, this place was a formation set up by the Ascension Sect's ancestor. Being able to reach this place meant that they were quality descendants. Thus, how would the Ascension Sect's ancestor possibly be willing to create such a powerful formation for the purpose of killing his outstanding descendants?
Thus, Chu Feng was certain that this was a trial; a trial testing the moral quality of his Ascension Sect's descendants. If one did not declare the death of the other, then everything would be well. However, if they did, then a light punishment might be that they would not be able to obtain the mysterious map, whereas a heavy punishment might be death by the slashing down of the enormous blade of light. Merely, the person that would die would be the person who spoke those words.
For Bai Ruochen to be this calm, one could tell that she had shared the same thoughts as Chu Feng. Sure enough, this girl was extraordinary. Not only did she possess exceptional talent, she also possessed very strong insight, andthis was evident in how she thought about the same thing as Chu Feng in such a short amount of time.
Suddenly, Chu Feng asked, "You also received that map in your head, right?"
"You received it too?" Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen was a bit surprised. Clearly, she did not expect that Chu Feng, an individual not from their Ascension Sect, would also receive the map.
"Of course I did. If my guess is correct, the contents of the maps should be the same." Chu Feng said with a smile.
Seeing this, Bai Ruochen asked, "What is illustrated on the map that you obtained?"
After that, Chu Feng began to compare the map that he had received with Bai Ruochen's, and discovered that the maps that they had obtained were actually the exact same.
"You are truly lucky. You must know that the item listed on the map is something that our Ascension Sect's ancestor left behind for his descendants. For you to obtain the map to it, you're truly lucky." After comparing them, Bai Ruochen was a bit unhappy. One could tell that she didn't wish to share the treasure with Chu Feng.
"If you do not want me to, I am willing to not go and find it. You can go and find it yourself." Seeing this, Chu Feng acted righteous and said those words. That was because he knew that what Bai Ruochen said was the truth too – this map should not have belonged to him. After all, it was something the Ascension Sect's ancestor had left behind.
"Forget about it. When the time comes, to have someone as a shield1 would be pretty nice. If you wished to go with me, then when we obtained the things, we can share them half and half. If there is only a single treasure, then I would keep that treasure. However, I will compensate you with something of equivalent value," said Bai Ruochen.
"Heh, that would be great." Hearing those words, Chu Feng mischievously laughed. If one said that he did not wish to obtain the thing on the map, then it would be a total lie. After all, Chu Feng possessed a grand responsibility. More eager than anyone, he wished to become stronger.
"Oh, that's right, what is in that?" asked Chu Feng as he pointed to the wooden chest in Bai Ruochen's hand.
"This is something that is truly unrelated to you." Bai Ruochen cast a side glance at Chu Feng.
"Girl, aren't you a little too narrow minded? Hey, wait for me." Chu Feng originally wanted to complain about it. However, to his surprise, Bai Ruochen had begun to rapidly walk toward the entrance.
The triumphant return of Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen brought about endless joy to the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, Sikong Zhaixing and Bai Ruochen's mother, who were waiting in the palace hall.
Especially after Chu Feng took out the remains of the Ascension Sect's sectmaster's master and handed it over to him, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster became endlessly thankful towards Chu Feng. If it weren't for Chu Feng, his Ascension Sect would not be able to obtain their late sectmaster's remains.
Thus, as a gesture of thanks, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster opened the wooden chest before everyone. At this moment, Chu Feng finally knew what was placed within the wooden chest. It was actually filled with Taboo Martial Skills.
To Chu Feng's surprise, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster was extremely generous; he actually allowed Chu Feng to take the first priority at selecting any of the Taboo Martial Skills from their ancestor's remains to train.
As Chu Feng had never learned a Mortal Taboo Martial Skill before, and did not dare to use his supreme Secret Skills, he would naturally not forego this opportunity. After all, these were Taboo Martial Skills.
Thus, without any hesitation, Chu Feng carefully examined the Taboo Martial Skills from the wooden chest. In the end, he chose six Taboo Martial Skills.
These six Taboo Martial Skills were, respectively:
"Mortal Taboo: Fire Meteor"
"Mortal Taboo: Tribulation Thunder Slash"
"Mortal Taboo: Frenzy Gale"
"Mortal Taboo: Whistling Ocean Rain"
"Mortal Taboo: Wood Maelstrom"
"Mortal Taboo: Illusion Light Technique"
The first five Mortal Taboos composed five different powerful properties: wind, rain, thunder, fire and wood. If Chu Feng was able to master them completely, he would truly be able to call the wind and summon the rain.
As for the final one, it was a movement martial skill. Within a short distance, it was able to increase one's speed to the speed of light. If one mastered it, it would be extremely useful in surprise attacks and fleeing a battle scene.
If he was able to master these six Taboo Martial Skills, then, to the current Chu Feng, he would be able to completely compensate for the four supreme Secret Skills.
"Little friend Chu Feng, your eyesight is truly profound. These six Mortal Taboos are all high-quality Mortal Taboos. However, the strongest Taboo Martial Skill in the wooden chest is this one." Suddenly, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster took a wooden tablet out from the wooden chest.
The wooden tablet was only the size of two palms. However, densely packed writings that appeared like runes and symbols were carved onto it, a martial skill. The wooden chest was filled with these sorts of wooden tablets. Every one of these wooden tablets contained a martial skill.
There was a total of several tens of such wooden tablets in the wooden chest. Practically all of them were Mortal Taboo Martial Skills.
"Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies?" Seeing the name of this Taboo Martial Skill, Chu Feng's eyes shone. Generally, Taboo Martial Skills would declare the sort of Taboo Martial Skill it was on its name. For example, if the name started with 'Mortal Taboo', then it would be a Mortal Taboo Martial Skill. If it started with 'Earthen Taboo', then it would be an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill. As for this Taboo Martial Skill, it was quite special.
Actually, it was not only Chu Feng; Bai Ruochen was also filled with surprise. The two of them had not been there when the Ascension Sect's sectmaster had spoken of the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies. Therefore, they did not know how powerful it was.
"Are you very surprised? This is an Earthen Taboo Martial Skill. However, it is not an ordinary Taboo Martial Skill," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
Suddenly, Bai Ruochen said, "This is a fusion Martial Skill."
"Ruochen, you're actually able to comprehend the contents written on it?"
Hearing those words, both the Ascension Sect's sectmaster and Sikong Zhaixing were surprised. The reason why this Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies was deemed to be something that ordinary people could not learn was because its contents were something that ordinary people could not understand. It was so much so that they could not even comprehend the contents written on it.
As for Bai Ruochen, she merely took a glance at it and already understood its contents. What did this mean? This meant that Bai Ruochen's talent was truly exceptional, and was well-suited for learning this Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies.
"Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies, it is a fusion Martial Skill. It requires two people to learn it. The two people are to respectively learn the Dragon and the Phoenix aspect of the Martial Skill. When both the Dragon and Phoenix are brandished, this Martial Skill would be activated. If this Martial Skill is successfully activated, it will reign the vast sky. Within Earthen Taboo Martial Skills, it is difficult to find another that could match it." Right at this moment, Chu Feng stared at the wooden tablet and narrated the contents on top of it.
At this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, Bai Ruochen's mother and Sikong Zhaixing were all displaying wondrous expressions. They all heaved a mouthful of cold air. After that, they looked to Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen and happily said. "I seemed to understand why our ancestor left this difficult test behind. I suspect that what he was waiting for was precisely the two of you."

Chapter 1109 – Mastering the Supreme Skill
The Taboo Martial Skills within the wooden chest were not something that could be duplicated. If one wanted to learn them, the only way possible was to read and comprehend the wooden tablets.
Furthermore, even if one were able to learn the Taboo Martial Skills, and even master them, it would still be impossible to impart them to another person, nor would one be capable of recording the Taboo Martial Skills onto another medium.
This was a special restriction method used by the person who created these Taboo Martial Skills. Its purpose was to prevent other cultivators who learned these Taboo Martial Skills from wantonly propagating his laborious results. If one wished to learn these Taboo Martial Skills, there was only one method – personally reading the wooden tablets and comprehending the contents recorded on it.
This led to the value of these Taboo Martial Skills being extremely high. Especially the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies, which were deemed by the Ascension Sect's sectmaster to be a priceless treasure. For the sake of the safety of these Taboo Martial Skills, he decided to place them directly within this palace hall, their Ascension Sect's forbidden area that was guarded by management elders, and allowed only their outstanding disciples to train in it.
However, before this palace hall that contained Taboo Martial Skills was officially opened to the disciples, other than the management elders and their sectmaster, only two disciples were allowed to enter; Bai Ruochen and Chu Feng.
For the sake of allowing these two disciples to rapidly grasp these Taboo Martial Skills, Sikong Zhaixing did not hurry to leave with Chu Feng. Instead, they chose to stay in the Ascension Sect.
As for Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen, the two of them were very hardworking. Other than the time needed for eating and sleeping, the two of them placed practically all of their time on learning these Taboo Martial Skills.
Time passed. In an instant, two months quietly passed by.
At this moment, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, Sikong Zhaixing, Bai Ruochen's mother and eight management elders from the Ascension Sect arrived at the palace hall once again.
It was not that they wanted to see the results of Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen's training; instead, it was because the time for the Cyanwood Mountain's Admission Assembly was about to arrive. In other words, it was time for them, the Cyanwood Mountain's subsidiary powers, to send their excellent disciples that they had nurtured for many years to the Cyanwood Mountain.
"Lord Headmaster, Senior Sectmaster, are we leaving today?" Chu Feng asked.
"In order to give the two of you time to train in the Taboo Martial Skills, we have already delayed setting off for quite a while now. If we do not leave now, I'm afraid that we will miss the Cyanwood Mountain's Admission Assembly."
"Although we could still send the two of you to the Cyanwood Mountain even if we missed the Cyanwood Mountain's Admission Assembly, I fear that it would bring about a complaint from other people. They might say that our Southern Cyanwood Forest and the Ascension Sect are acting arrogant, and do not place the Cyanwood Mountain in our eyes. This might be alright for the Ascension Sect, as they're a first-rate subsidiary power. However, our Southern Cyanwood Mountain's current position is not up to par. I fear that if that were to happen, someone might take advantage of it and create a scandal for us," explained Sikong Zhaixing.
Hearing Sikong Zhaixing's explanation, Chu Feng nodded and said. "So that's why. In that case, seniors, let's set off immediately."
"Little friend Chu Feng, there is no need to worry. The core disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain possess a lot of liberty. After the Admission Assembly, you and Ruochen could return here to train in the Taboo Martial Skills again. It is fine for the two of you to return to the Cyanwood Mountain after you finish mastering the Taboo Martial Skills," said the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"That's right. We also wish to experience the might of that Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies for ourselves." Bai Ruochen's mother added. Sikong Zhaixing, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster and the eight management elders also nodded.
"If you wish to see the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies, then there is no need to wait anymore. The two of us can display it to you all. Isn't that right, Miss Bai?" As Chu Feng said those words, he looked to Bai Ruochen.
"Little friend Chu Feng, are you saying that you and Ruochen have learned the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies?" Hearing those words, the eight management elders of the Ascension Sect all displayed shocked expressions.
"Ruochen, is that true? Why didn't you mention it to us?" The Ascension Sect's sectmaster also looked to Bai Ruochen with a pleasantly surprised expression.
Bai Ruochen did not answer them. Suddenly, her frail body moved; she had flown up. By the time everyone noticed it, she was already standing midair on the palace hall. Furthermore, her two hands were creating all kinds of different hand seals nonstop. Finally, when her hand seals stopped, a formless power began to emit from her body.
"Woosh."
Seeing this, Chu Feng also flew up. However, he was slightly different from Bai Ruochen. Instead of forming hand seals after arriving in midair, he instead began to form hand seals with lightning speed while flying upward. By the time he arrived in midair and stood beside Bai Ruochen, he already finished forming all of his hand seals and a formless power, the same as the one from Bai Ruochen, began to emit from his body.
"Rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
When Chu Feng's aura and Bai Ruochen's aura interweaved with one another, they instantly erupted like a hydrogen explosion. Merely, the explosion did not bring about simple ripples. Instead, it created fiery flames and bone-chilling ice.
Flame and ice were intrinsically incompatible with one another. However, at this moment, they were combined with one another in perfect unison. One firm and one soft, one hot and one cold, it was extremely strange, yet doubtlessly powerful.
Violent fire and ripples of ice were spreading rapidly. In a blink of an eye, from a small area of fire and ice, it now turned into an ocean of fire and ice. Even though this palace hall was very large, the airspace above it was soon completely covered with fire and ice.
However, right at the time when the fire and ice ripples were soon to reach the walls of the palace hall, they suddenly disappeared. After the fierce fire and ice ripples disappeared, the crowd below was left in a stupefied state. All their gazes were fixed upon the scene that appeared in midair.
At this very moment, two huge monsters appeared where Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen were standing; a phoenix filled with raging flames, and a dragon covered with glacial ice.
Chu Feng was the ice dragon and Bai Ruochen was the fire phoenix. Even though the bodies of the two of them could still be seen at the head regions of the ice dragon and the fire phoenix, the two huge monsters appeared vivid and lifelike, as if they were real.
Not only were the appearances of the ice dragon and the fire phoenix very lifelike, even their aura was extraordinary. It was as if they were truly the legendary divine beasts.
"Aooouuu~~~~~~~~~~"
Right at this moment, the dragon and phoenix suddenly snarled. As that cry sounded, this matchlessly firm and stable palace hall trembled violently. The tremble was not limited to the palace itself; even the space within began to tremble, as if they were frightened by the boundless might of the dragon and phoenix.
After the snarl, the dragon and phoenix began to move together, as if they were dancing. The two of them interweaved in one place, as if they were fighting. However, they were not fighting. It was both domineering and beautiful. As the two of them moved about, they brought forth black clouds that flickered with lightning. Their might was truly terrifying.
However, what was most frightening was that, at this very moment, layers upon layers of fire and ice interweaved with one another, giving birth to ripples of energy. With the dragon and phoenix as the center, the ripples began to spread. Furthermore, each ripple was stronger and fiercer than the previous. Had it not been for Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen deliberately containing the might of the ripples, then this palace would likely be unable to contain the ripples' power.
"Amazing! In merely two months, these two children were actually able to master the legendary Earthen Taboo Fusion Martial Skill. They have truly broadened my horizons." As they looked at the ice dragon and fire phoenix that were dancing in midair above them, shock filled the faces of the Ascension Sect's sectmaster and the others. All of them were stunned by the ability and talent of these two youths.
That was because, at this moment, they not only saw before them the supreme skill that their ancestors grasped, they also saw their Ascension Sect and Southern Cyanwood Forest's future hopes. At this moment, they were truly filled with anticipation that these two youngsters before them, displaying their might, would become famous within the Cyanwood Mountain, a place filled with geniuses.

Chapter 1110 – Colossal
After displaying the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies, Bai Ruochen and Chu Feng simultaneously released their fusion martial skill. When the ice dragon and the fire phoenix disappeared, the palace hall returned to its normal state. Merely, the strange sensation of icy coldness and fiery hotness still hovered around the palace hall.
"Not bad, our coordination is getting better." Chu Feng looked to Bai Ruochen beside him and laughed mischievously.
Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen also shot Chu Feng a glance. Merely, this time around, her gaze was not penetrative. Instead, it was very soft. Furthermore, the corners of her mouth raised to reveal a light and beautiful smile.
Regardless of how conceited and prideful Bai Ruochen was, she was still a woman who wanted to obtain power. This Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies was a very amazing Martial Skill. Naturally, she wanted to master it. For her to be able to completely grasp it right now, it was all thanks to Chu Feng. Especially after she managed to activate it perfectly, it brought about inevitable joy to her.
"Clap clap clap…" Right at this moment, a thunder-like applause sounded from below. Looking down, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, the management elders, and Sikong Zhaixing were all clapping their hands and applauding. A single emotion was visible in all of their eyes: gratitude.
At this moment, the only person who remained calm was Bai Ruochen's mother. Although she did not know beforehand that Bai Ruochen and Chu Feng had grasped the Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies, she did not become overly excited after knowing about it, as if it was all a normal occasion.
However, regardless, she still had a joyful smile on her face. Although it was very light, one could still tell that she was extremely happy. To a greater or lesser degree, she was also stunned by Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen's performance.
"Dragon and Phoenix Dancing in the Skies is indeed extraordinary. For this old man to be fortunate enough to see his ancestor's supreme skill, I now have no regrets in my life." Compared to the calmness of Bai Ruochen's mother, Sikong Zhaixing was unable to contain himself and began to praise.
"That's right. Chu Feng, Ruochen, the two of you have truly brought us an enormous surprise. I truly look forward to your performance in the Cyanwood Mountain," added the Ascension Sect's sectmaster.
"Well then, it is about time for you all to set off." Suddenly, Bai Ruochen's mother urged. However, after she said those words, she looked to the Ascension Sect's sectmaster and said. "Zhixian, make the arrangements carefully. You must definitely not let Ruochen be wronged. If anyone dares to bully her, regardless of who it might be, I will definitely not let them get away with it."
"Rest assured." The Ascension Sect's sectmaster nodded. However, his nod appeared to be slightly difficult. After all, the Cyanwood Mountain was a place with an enormous amount of powerful existences. Even though the strength of their Ascension Sect was not weak, there was no guarantee that they would not be bullied in the Cyanwood Mountain.
"Mother, are you not coming?" Seeing this, Bai Ruochen hurriedly flew down and arrived before her mother. In her eyes was a slightly displeased expression.
"I will not be going. Someone will have to stay and guard the Ascension Sect. Besides, you're not young anymore. I couldn't possibly accompany you all the time, right?" Bai Ruochen's mother gently caressed her silky black hair. The smile on her face was still charming like before. However, it now contained the kindness of a mother.
At this moment, Chu Feng noticed that there was a slight trace of disappointment on Bai Ruochen's delicate face. However, her expression of displeasure gradually declined. In the end, she nodded and accepted her mother's decision.
After that, they immediately set off for the journey. When Chu Feng arrived at the location where the disciples of the Ascension Sect were gathered, he was stunned by their lineup.
Back then, other than Bai Ruochen, Chu Feng had seen ninety-nine other core disciples of the Ascension Sect before the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda. However, the number of disciples the Ascension Sect planned to send over to the Cyanwood Mountain was not limited to a hundred at all. Four thousand five hundred sixty-seven was the number of disciples the Ascension Sect was sending to the Cyanwood Mountain this year.
Among them, the strongest was Bai Ruochen. With her rank three Martial King strength, there was no need to doubt.
However, other than Bai Ruochen, there were over four thousand other disciples. Even the weakest among them were peak Martial Lords. This lineup was even more frightening than the lineup of the Orion Monastery at the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
However, what surprised Chu Feng the most was that, while the Orion Monastery had only used a single warship to carry their three thousand core disciples, the Ascension Sect was actually using several hundred warships. Furthermore, every single warship used was not inferior to the one used by the Orion Monastery. It was truly domineering.
When several hundred colossuses the size of small continents flew in the sky, it would not be excessive to describe it as covering the entire horizon.
When seeing that each of those colossal warships had the banner of the Ascension Sect on them, one must admit that this grand show was truly extravagant.
"There's actually such a show of extravagance?" Chu Feng exclaimed in admiration. Back then, in the Eastern Sea Region, the Immortal Execution Archipelago had united with the three major monstrous beast clans to attack the Misty Peak. Yet, the extravagance of their lineup was nowhere as grand as what was before him now.
One must admit that the powers of the Holy Land of Martialism were truly not something that the Eastern Sea Region could compare with. Even the Southern Cyanwood Forest, that had become desolate after countless years of decline, would be a major power that could move about unhindered if placed within the Eastern Sea Region. With this being the case, Chu Feng began to look forward even more to what sort of power one of the true overlords of the Holy Land of Martialism, the Cyanwood Mountain, would be like.
"It is not only disciples that are being sent to the Cyanwood Mountain. There are also the disciples' servants. Most importantly, as they are a first-rate subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain, this sort of lineup is something that they should present. When you see the lineup of the Eastern, Western and Northern Cyanwood Forests, you will know that the Ascension Sect is actually being low-key," explained Sikong Zhaixing beside Chu Feng.
"The other three Cyanwood Forests, is it? I also want to experience what sort of display they will bring." A flash of anticipation once again emerged in Chu Feng's eyes.
With everything in place, they began to set off. The Cyanwood Mountain was located far away from the Ascension Sect. Even though the speed of these warships were very fast, without using ancient teleportation formations, it would still take quite some time for them to arrive at the Cyanwood Mountain.
After a long journey, Chu Feng and the others finally arrived at the Cyanwood Mountain's territory. Only then did Chu Feng get to see exactly what sort of appearance one of the Holy Land of Martialism's Nine Powers, the Cyanwood Mountain, possessed.
Cyanwood Mountain, although it had the word mountain in its name, its territory was most definitely not limited to only a single mountain range. In this place, even the seas numbered a couple. As for mountain ranges, plains, ponds, lakes and rivers, they were countless. The size of the Cyanwood Mountain was so enormously and unimaginably large, almost as if it was a vast, boundless nation.
However, the Cyanwood Mountain could not be blamed for occupying such a vast area of land. That was because the amount of people in the Cyanwood Mountain was truly too numerous.
The number of outer disciples numbered to two billion eight hundred million. For inner disciples, the number was two hundred million. They were the reservoir of the outstanding disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain.
As for the core disciples, they numbered close to a million. The weakest among them were peak Martial Lords. Among the core disciples, a tenth of them had reached the Martial King level. In other words, roughly a hundred thousand of the Cyanwood Mountain's core disciples were Martial Kings.
One must know that in the Eastern Sea Region, Martial Kings were existences of utmost reverence. However, in this place, they were nothing more than disciples.
Furthermore, this sort of number did not take the elders into account. In fact, the number of elders in the Cyanwood Mountain was in no way inferior to the number of disciples. If it wasn't for the Cyanwood Mountain's rule that if one did not wish to become an elder, they were allowed to leave the Cyanwood Mountain, then the number of elders would likely be even more numerous than the number of disciples.
"Is this a true colossus?" Seeing the beautiful scenery as far as the eye could see, the exquisite palace halls situated between mountains, rivers and plains, and even some floating in the air, and the countless martial cultivators riding all kinds of different mounts, Chu Feng was unable to help himself from breathing in a mouthful of cold air.
Chu Feng had thought himself to be someone with experience of the world, and having seen many major powers. However, those powers, when compared with the Cyanwood Mountain, were nothing but insignificant pebbles.

Chapter 1111 – The Famous Yuan Qing
The Cyanwood Mountain's domain was extremely vast. However, it was most definitely not a place that anyone could enter and leave unrestrictedly.
It was said that there was an enormous spirit formation protective screen that surrounded the exterior of the Cyanwood Mountain. That spirit formation protective screen covered both the sky and the underground, causing even Half Martial Emperor level experts to be unable to pass through it, and completely isolated the Cyanwood Mountain from the outside world. Even the disciples and elders of the Cyanwood Mountain could only come and go by displaying their identity plates at specific entrance locations.
However, it was currently the time of the Cyanwood Mountain's annual disciple recruitment assembly. Thus, the Cyanwood Mountain removed the enormous and powerful spirit formation protective screen. Their doors were now completely open, and people could enter the Cyanwood Mountian from all directions.
Moreover, the Cyanwood Mountain did not care about identity, appearance or even race when recruiting their disciples, all they cared about was the talent of the individuals. Thus, without counting the people that accompanied the disciple-prospects, merely the number of people who wanted to become disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain numbered over several billions.
The majority of these people were children that had just reached the age of martial cultivation. After all, the Cyanwood Mountain was the strongest power in the Cyanwood Domain; everyone would want their children to become Cyanwood Mountain disciples, and thus obtain the best education.
However, it was one thing if it were only those families with power, but for those people with very poor backgrounds, it was a very difficult task. Without money to pay the fee to use the Ancient Era's Teleportation Formations, they had no choice but to journey all the way to the Cyanwood Mountain. Without powerful and fast means of transportation, their travel speed was very slow. For some people, they would begin to travel to the Cyanwood Mountain from the day their child was born andwhen they finally arrive at the Cyanwood Mountain, their child would have already entered his or her teens.
Thus, while there were many people gathered in the Cyanwood Mountain, they were people that had come from all over the Cyanwood Domain. For some, the journey itself was over a dozen years. Thus, the amount of people that were planning to become disciples, and the amount of people that accompanied those disciple-prospects, numbered several billion in total. However, this number was relatively few. After all, the population of the Cyanwood Domain, a vast territory with abundant resources, was unimaginable.
However, while the Cyanwood Mountain did not take the identity and status of their disciple-prospects into consideration, they paid great consideration to their talents. Thus, these several billion people that planned to become disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain would have to go through numerous filters. In the end, it would be pretty good if even several tens of millions were to remain.
However, people like Chu Feng, the disciples of the subsidiary powers that were sent over by those subsidiary powers, did not have to go through any examination or filter. They were even capable of becoming the Cyanwood Mountain's most respectable core disciples directly.
When the people that arrived here after a long journey saw the enormous spectacle that was the subsidiary powers passing through the sky as they flew toward the deepest region of the Cyanwood Mountain, what filled their eyes were admiration and envy.
At this moment, in the Cyanwood Mountain, a large crowd was gathered on top of an enormous plaza. This place was truly an ocean of people.
The Cyanwood Mountain possessed a total of five first-rate subsidiary powers, several hundred second-rate subsidiary powers and thousands of third-rate subsidiary powers. Every one of those subsidiary powers was required to send to the Cyanwood Mountain their most excellent disciples every year.
At this moment, the majority of the subsidiary powers had arrived. Among them, three powers were the focus of the most attention: the Eastern Cyanwood Forest, the Western Cyanwood Forest and the Northern Cyanwood Forest.
These three powers were not only first-rate subsidiary powers of the Cyanwood Mountain, they were also the most genuine subsidiary powers, branches of the Cyanwood Mountain itself. Among the subsidiary powers, they were known to be the bosses.
Currently, these three powers each brought over five thousand disciples with them. Combined, they had brought over fifteen thousand disciples. This was no small matter, because it meant that they were going to send over fifteen thousand core disciples to the Cyanwood Mountain.
Compared to the disciples that numbered in the tens or ones that other powers brought along, this was truly a frightening number. As for this, it also demonstrated how powerful these three subsidiary powers were.
"As expected of the Three Cyanwood Forests. They're actually able to maintain this number of disciples being delivered every year. Furthermore, not only is the number tremendous, the quality of their disciples is also quite amazing."
"That's right, the Eastern Cyanwood Forest's Wang Yan, the Western Cyanwood Forest's Jiang Hao, and the Northern Cyanwood Forest's Huang Juan were all famous geniuses before coming to this place. Seeing them for the first time today, they are indeed extraordinary."
"With their age, they're already rank three Martial Kings. Truly amazing, truly amazing."
The disciples of the Three Cyanwood Forests became the focus of the crowd. Among the fifteen thousand disciples, there were three that stood out from the rest like dazzling pearls in a desert.
They were two males and a female. The male with an ordinary appearance, not skinny nor fat, not tall nor short, was called Wang Yan. He had cultivated in a Forbidden Mysterious Technique and mastered many formidable skills. In the Eastern Cyanwood Forest, he was currently the strongest disciple.
Rumour had it that he possessed surpassing battle power, and could match rank five Martial Kings with merely his rank three Martial King cultivation. As for ordinary rank four Martial Kings, they were simply no match for him. In essence, he was truly a deserving genius.
As for the other male, his name was Jiang Hao. He was the strongest disciple of the Western Cyanwood Forest. Like Wang Yan, Jiang Hao's appearance was nothing outstanding. However, the auras that the two of them possessed greatly surpassed their relatively average appearance. Not only were they the focus of the crowd, they were also the prince charming, the dream-land lovers, of the eyes of many females.
There was nothing that could be done about this. For females, their beauty could charm others. As for men, only through strength could they charm others.
For some weak men, they might accept the fact that they were weak and would dress themselves extremely well. But, even with that, they would not be able to find a wife. Yet, for men with great strength, even when they acted extremely arrogantly and looked down upon beauties, there would be countless women who wanted to be their wives. As for Jiang Hao and Wang Yan, they were this sort of men.
The female disciple, her name was Huang Juan. She was the disciple of the Northern Cyanwood Forest. Her appearance was extremely charming; furthermore, she wore a lot of makeup and very exposing clothing, causing her appearance to be like that of a prostitute. To describe her with the word 'vixen' would be most fitting.
However, Huang Juan was not as simple as being merely a woman with charming sex appeal. Her strength was not inferior to Wang Yan and Jiang Hao in the slightest. Beautiful women were able to charm others. In that case, what about powerful beautiful women? They were essentially goddesses, standing above the heads of countless men.
If it was said that Jiang Hao and Wang Yan caused countless female disciples' hearts to throb, then Huang Juan could arouse countless male disciples, and even make them willingly hold her above their heads,
Suddenly, someone said, "Although the three of them are powerful, I have heard that among this year's disciples, the strongest disciple is not from the Three Cyanwood Forests, instead, it's a disciple of the Orion Monastery."
"Dear friend, are you speaking of that youngster by the name of Yuan Qing?" Someone asked.
"Yes, it's precisely that Yuan Qing. He is the only person in history that managed to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. This child's talent is simply surpassing all others. Likely, his future accomplishments will be boundless," replied the man who had first spoken.
"That's right, that's right. How come the people from the Orion Monastery are still not here yet? I truly want to see the graceful bearing of Yuan Qing." At this moment, the crowd nodded. Expressions of anticipation filled their faces.
In these couple months, the Orion Monastery had gone all-out to spread the news of Yuan Qing triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle to the entire vast Cyanwood Domain. Although the Cyanwood Domain was frighteningly huge, after having the news spread by the Orion Monastery, the number of people who didn't know about Yuan Qing's accomplishment was truly few. At the very least, all of the people from the major powers knew about it.
This led to Yuan Qing becoming a mighty figure that no one dared to approach, the genius that everyone looked up to. There were even people who felt that the status of the powerful evildoers in the Cyanwood Mountain would also be affected by Yuan Qing. Once again, another evildoer-level character had joined their ranks.
"Quickly, look, it's the people from the Orion Monastery. They've finally arrived."
Suddenly, someone shouted and pointed toward the south. At this moment, practically all of the people on that enormous plaza shifted their gazes to the south.

Chapter 1112 – Arriving Late
Close to a thousand enormous warships were slowly flying over from the south of the plaza. On the sides of the group of warships were all kinds of different enormous beasts. On each and every one of those enormous beasts stood a valiant and formidable-looking human.
Judging from the numerous wavering banners, the crowd was able to tell that it was the Orion Monastery which had arrived. Compared to previous years, the Orion Monastery's display of extravagance was especially overwhelming. At the very least, it was many times larger than previous years, and not at all weaker than the display of the Three Cyanwood Forests.
"Orion Monastery, you truly have the courage. Isn't it merely just a Yuan Qing, yet you dare to act this arrogant." Seeing the display brought forth by the Orion Monastery, some disciples from the Three Cyanwood Forests curled their lips and mocked.
As the disciples of the Three Cyanwood Forests, they wholeheartedly believed themselves to be the bosses among the thousands of subsidiary powers. Although both the Orion Monastery and the Ascension Sect were first-rate subsidiary powers, they did not feel that the two of them were comparable with them at all.
However, now that the Orion Monastery gave rise to a Yuan Qing, this caused many people to feel that their Three Cyanwood Forest's Wang Yan, Jiang Hao and Huang Juan, their geniuses, were incomparable with Yuan Qing. This naturally brought them a great amount of displeasure.
And now, the Orion Monastery actually displayed such a grand show of extravagance in their appearance, one that was not inferior to their own; it was simply equivalent to the Orion Monastery telling the crowd that they were not inferior to the Three Cyanwood Forests, and were instead the real boss among the subsidiary powers. This notion brought about great discontentment to the disciples of the Three Cyanwood Forests.
"Shh, be quiet, Yuan Qing's fame has reached the Cyanwood Mountain. According to a trusted source of information, the Cyanwood Mountain is planning to focus on cultivating Yuan Qing. Further, the three Headmasters have given the order together that all the disciples and elders of our Three Cyanwood Forests are to not clash with the people of the Orion Monastery, and we must make all effort to maintain our relationship with the Orion Monastery." Another disciple said in a soft voice.
"I know about this. However, it still brings me a great deal of displeasure to look at this. Their mere Orion Monastery has only given birth to a disciple that managed to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle; yet this causes them to want to tower over us. Isn't this truly too arrogant?" That disciple still had displeasure written all over his face.
"We have all been to the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. I believe you should know about the pressure in the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Since the ancient times, even with countless geniuses trying to trigger it, none managed to trigger it. Yet, that Yuan Qing managed to accomplish such a feat. This meant that he is a truly exceptional talent."
"Furthermore, rumor has it that only one person had ever managed to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle before Yuan Qing. As for that person, he is the Strongest Martial Emperor from ten thousand years ago, Qing Xuantian. Yuan Qing managed to accomplish that only Qing Xuantian was able to accomplish. This means that he might have the potential to become the second Qing Xuantian."
"If he does not manage to become a towering figure, then so be it. However, if he does, then, not to mention our Eastern Cyanwood Forest, I fear that that the entire Cyanwood Mountain would have to bow down to him and treat him like a treasure. Thus, it is no wonder that the three Lord Headmasters had a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree change in attitude toward the Orion Monastery." That disciple continued.
"Sigh~~~~" Even though the disciples from the Three Cyanwood Forests were extremely unwilling, they also knew about the severity of the matter. Thus, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only comply with the orders given by their headmasters.
After all, the intention of the three headmasters was very clear: Yuan Qing possessed the possibility of becoming the second Qing Xuantian. Yet, he also possessed the possibility of failing to becoming the second Qing Xuantian. If he managed to become a towering figure, then maintaining a friendly relationship with the Orion Monastery would naturally be good.
However, if Yuan Qing failed to tower, then with the three headmasters' way of conduct, they would likely not continue to try to maintain a friendly relationship with the Orion Monastery. Instead, they would once again step on the Orion Monastery, and might even crush it completely.
Thus, the disciples of the Three Cyanwood Forests all had a hope in their hearts – that Yuan Qing would fail to tower. As for what they needed to do right now, it would be endure patiently. As long as Yuan Qing fail to tower in the next several years, they would be able to bring about violent retaliation toward the Orion Monastery.
At this moment, before the gazes of tens of thousands, the formation of the Orion Monastery began to slowly descend. The headmaster of the Orion Monastery as well as the numerous elders and core disciples all began to appear.
However, the person who everyone was focused upon was not the Orion Monastery's headmaster. Instead, their focuses were all fixed upon the youngster beside the Orion Monastery's headmaster. That was because that youngster was Yuan Qing.
The current Yuan Qing's cultivation have already reached rank three Martial king. For him to be able to increase his cultivation by a rank in such a short period of time, it was naturally because the Orion Monastery paid a great amount of attention and expended a great deal of resources on him.
Although Yuan Qing was a powerful disciple, the Orion Monastery was capable of sending one or two disciples of his level to the Cyanwood Mountain every year. However, when Yuan Qing triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, everything changed.
Thus, the Orion Monastery decided to exhaust all of their resources to nurture Yuan Qing to become the strongest disciple and make him their rising hope.
"This is Yuan Qing? He is truly a talented person."
"Legend has it that in history, the strongest person of our human race, Qing Xuantian, had also triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle before. However, after him, there has never been anyone else who managed to trigger an Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Furthermore, this was not only limited to our human race; no one from the monstrous beasts race have managed to trigger it either."
"Yet now, Yuan Qing actually managed to accomplish such a feat. This was sufficient to show how talented this child is. He is most definitely extraordinary, and might even become the second Qing Xuantian. It would appear that the Orion Monastery will rise in ranks because of this child."
After Yuan Qing appeared, the crowd started to boil. All the different powers began to discuss him. Other than the people from the Three Cyanwood Forests, who were a bit skeptical and displeased, the majority of the other people believed that it was Yuan Qing who had triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
Furthermore, the gazes with which they looked at Yuan Qing were rather peculiar too; contained within those gazes were reverence and adoration. However, this could not be blamed on them, because triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was a glory to the human race. Thus, many people felt that it was Yuan Qing who had brought about this glory to them and felt pride because of Yuan Qing.
Actually, at this moment, the headmasters of the Three Cyanwood Forests, their high echelon management elders, as well as Wang Yan, Jiang Hao and Huang Juan took the initiative to arrive on the Orion Monastery's leading warship to befriend them.
To see the three prideful and otherworldly headmasters of the Three Cyanwood Forests and their disciples arriving on the Orion Monastery's warship with smiles across their faces as they chatted with the Orion Monastery's headmaster and disciples, the crowd knew that the emergence of the Orion Monastery was inevitable. As for all of this, it was all because a genius disciple appeared in the Orion Monastery, Yuan Qing.
"Rumble, rumble~~~"
"Aouuuu~~~~~~~"
Right after the Orion Monastery descended and the crowd started to boil, explosive rumbles and ear-piercing bird cries suddenly sounded from the distant horizon.
Turning their heads toward the direction of the sound, another group of colossal warships appeared on the horizon. It was another group arriving in perfect formation. Each and every one of those warships was so large that they hid the sky and covered the earth. There was a total of several hundred of such warships. Although it was not as extravagant as the Orion Monastery's display, it was not much inferior.
Surrounding that formation of warships were countless enormous birds. Those birds were extremely beautiful. With a single glance, one could easily recognize that they were birds unique to the Ascension Sect, the Ascension Birds.
"The arrival of the Ascension Sect is truly late this time around." Seeing the approaching formation of the Ascension Sect, the headmasters of the three Cyanwood Forests displayed a slight smile on their faces.
However, when compared to them, the smile on the Orion Monastery's face turned complicated. In the past, the Three Cyanwood Forests were the strongest among the five first-rate subsidiary powers; this was something without need of doubt. As for the Orion Monastery and the Ascension Sect, they had been of equal strength in the past. Thus, among the first-rate subsidiary powers, there was only a single opponent to the Orion Monastery; and that was the Ascension Sect.
However, in the past couple years, the Ascension Sect's strength had become stronger and stronger. Regardless of whether it was the strength of their disciples or the number of disciples that they would be sending over to the Cyanwood Mountain, they both surpassed that of the Orion Monastery, stepping down upon their pride and making the Orion Monastery into the bottom feeder among the five first rate subsidiary powers.
However, the situation now was different. An evildoer-level disciple, Yuan Qing, appeared in their Orion Monastery. This caused even the high and untouchable Three Cyanwood Forests, that had believed themselves to be the bosses, to actively befriend their Orion Monastery. In that cause, the Ascension Sect would naturally not be able to compare with the Orion Monastery.
Thus, the headmaster of the Orion Monastery was filled with expectations. He truly looked forward to the appearance of the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, this old rival of his for many years, bowing and kneeling down to him.
However, never in his entire life would he ever imagine that the Ascension Sect that he did not put in his mind right now would actually have an outstanding trump card with them too. Furthermore, this trump card was someone with true ability.

Chapter 1113 – Jealousy and Rivalry
Regardless of what sort of eyes the Three Cyanwood Forests and the Orion Monastery looked to the Ascension Sect with, in the eyes of the others, the Ascension Sect was still one of the five first-rate subsidiary powers. Even after the consecutive grand arrivals of the four other first-rate subsidiary powers, the arrival of the Ascension Sect brought about a great amount of attention.
Before the focused eyes of the crowd, the Ascension Sect's warships descended onto the plaza, and their disciples and elders all walked onto the strange. The Ascension Sect did not conceal their strength, and anyone on the stage with decent strength and possessing spirit energy would easily be able to determine their cultivation.
At this moment, the most focused people were naturally the four thousand plus disciples of the Ascension Sect. After all, the strength of these disciples were the true representatives of the strength of the Ascension Sect.
"This year around, the Ascension Sect's display is pretty normal. Compared to previous years, there is not much difference between the number of disciples or the quality of those disciples they brought with them. This should normally be fine, but as they're also a first-rate subsidiary power, when compared with the other four, they appear to be relatively unpresentable."
"That's right. From this, doesn't it mean that the Ascension Sect has become the weakest among the five first-rate subsidiary powers now?"
Upon inspecting the strength of the Ascension Sect's disciples, the crowd was unable to help themselves from comparing them with the disciples of the Three Cyanwood Forests and the Orion Monastery.
Although the overall quality of the disciples was more or less the same, it remained that the Three Cyanwood Forests and the Orion Monastery possessed Wang Yan, Jiang Hao, Huang Juan and Yuan Qing, four geniuses with a cultivation of rank three Martial King, and fame that spread through the entire Cyanwood Domain. Thus, when compared with them, the Ascension Sect appeared to be rather inferior.
"Aouuu~~~~"
However, right at this moment, the cry of a bird sounded on the horizon. An Ascension Bird descended from the sky. At this moment, a figure appeared before the crowd's eyes.
It was a woman. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her appearance was that of an absolute beauty; she appeared like a goddess. On top of that, she possessed the cultivation of rank three Martial King.
Her arrival immediately shifted the crowd's focus onto her. That was because she was truly too beautiful. Not only was she beautiful, she also appeared to be very young. Judging from her fair and tender skin, she was most definitely younger than twenty years of age.
With such a cultivation at such a young age, what did this mean? This meant that this girl possessed exceptional talent. Otherwise, how could she possibly obtain such a cultivation at that young of an age?
"Who is this chick? How come I've never heard about her before? The Ascension Sect has truly hidden her well." At this moment, even Wang Yan's eyes shone, and started to display a complicated expression.
Someone of Wang Yan's caliber was not a person who lacked the accompany of beauties. As for women that he would place in his eyes, they were very few and rare. However, Bai Ruochen was different from ordinary women. Her appearance could be said to be absolutely beautiful, with no flaws. Furthermore, she possessed a sort of icy air that repelled others to a thousand miles away.
When such an absolute beauty was fused with that sort of repelling icy air, it made Bai Ruochen appear like an otherworldly goddess that caused mortals to involuntarily become attracted to her.
In short, Bai Ruochen's appearance caused everyone to forget about Huang Juan. Compared to Huang Juan, who was covered with makeup and dressed like a prostitute, Bai Ruochen's natural beauty appeared even more precious. She was truly a deserving little beauty.
Thus, it was not only Wang Yan, practically all of the men present were charmed by her. Even the eyes of some elders, who had lived for several hundred years, started to shine as their heartbeats accelerated as if they were looking at their first love.
However, this was normal. After all, everyone possessed the heart to love beauty. This was not limited to only sexual reasons, it was also an appreciation of beauty.
"Wang Yan, you are truly ill-informed. I actually knew that the Ascension Sect had hidden such a little beauty beforehand." At this moment, Jiang Hao spoke.
"Senior brother Jiang, may I know who exactly this woman is?" Hearing those words, Yuan Qing was unable to contain himself and spoke to ask.
"Heh, junior brother Yuan Qing, might it be that you're interested in this woman?" Hearing that question, Jiang Hao mocked with a mischievous smile.
"Everyone possesses the heart to love beauty. A woman like her is rare in this world. Could it be that senior brothers, the two of you are not tempted by her?" Yuan Qing smiled lightly. Not only did he not deny it, he instead declared that he had been charmed by Bai Ruochen.
"Hahaha… Sure enough, it is men who understand other men." Both Jiang Hao and Wang Yan started laughing. They also indirectly admitted to Yuan Qing's speculation.
The four powers' elders and headmasters had also heard their conversation. However, no one said anything about it. That was because the three of them were all going to become the Cyanwood Mountain's disciples. Furthermore, their future accomplishments were going to be boundless. Who knows when they might actually surpass themselves. Thus, at this moment, none of the headmasters reprimanded them using their identity of headmasters.
"Che, Wang Yan, Jiang Hao, didn't the two of you declare that you would not be tempted by ten thousand flowers? 1 How come the two of you are enchanted by a little girl from the Ascension Sect today?"
At this moment, Huang Juan was unable to continue watching this going on anymore. She was also a woman, yet she did not create such a commotion that Bai Ruochen created. Thus, it was inevitable that she grew a bit envious of Bai Ruochen.
"Sigh, Huang Juan, this is something that you don't understand. Do you know what the name of this girl from the Ascension Sect is? Do you know what her identity is?"
"Let me tell you, her name is Bai Ruochen. She is just eighteen years old this year, a total of ten years younger than you. Yet, this Bai Ruochen is the eldest senior sister of the Ascension Sect's disciples."
"Do you know how she's the eldest senior sister? Other than possessing a tyrannical cultivation, it is said that her battle power is also extraordinary. Moreover, she has an amazing mother, the mysterious madam that the Ascension Sect's sectmaster married two years ago," said Jiang Hao.
"Oh? So this girl is actually that madam's daughter? No wonder…" Hearing Jiang Hao's explanation, Wang Yan and Yuan Qing became even more interested in Bai Ruochen.
All of them had heard of the rumors regarding Bai Ruochen's mother. They knew that her mother was a very powerful and mysterious woman. Even to this date, no one know about her mother's name or where she had come from.
However, it remained that she was undoubtedly powerful. That was because the Ascension Sect had only started becoming stronger after the arrival of Bai Ruochen's mother. Essentially, Bai Ruochen's mother was a mystery that people discussed enthusiastically about. At the same time, she also brought about restraining fear.
"Enough of your rubbish. How come I have never heard that the Ascension Sect's Madam Sectmaster had a daughter?" Huang Juan curled her lips. She did not believe Jiang Hao.
"This is something that I heard from a friend of mine in the Ascension Sect. The information is absolutely true. If you do not believe me, we can make a bet. Do you dare?" said Jiang Hao with a beaming smile.
"No one's going to bother with your nonsense." Huang Juan cast a side eye at Jiang Hao. She stopped paying attention to him. However, the gaze with which she looked at Bai Ruochen became somewhat hostile as if she had seen an enemy.
"Heh, no matter what, I am truly fond of this Bai Ruochen. I am definitely taking this girl for myself." At this moment, Yuan Qing said those words confidently.
"Yoh, junior brother Yuan Qing, you're actually that confident?" Seeing this, Wang Yan smiled indifferently. There seemed to be a hidden intention behind his words. At the same time, the same sort of smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face.
1. Flowers in this case meant women.

Chapter 1114 – Alliance Declaration
"Senior brothers, if the two of you are truly fond of Bai Ruochen too, we can have a fair competition. However, I am certain that this Bai Ruochen is going to be mine." Yuan Qing was filled with confidence. As he said those words, he unfolded a fan. Fanning the fan before his chest, he caused his hair to flutter in the wind. Not only did this make him appear very elegant and graceful, it also made it seem as if he was planning stratagems on how to obtain Bai Ruochen.
After he bewilderedly became known as the hero who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, his confidence had reached a frightening level. Although his pride had not reached a state where he looked down upon all beings, he had reached an extremely conceited state.
Toward the words spoken by Yuan Qing and his current behavior, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao merely smiled without saying anything. Only the two of them knew the intentions of their smiles.
"Huh? Who's that fellow? Why is he so close to Bai Ruochen?" However, right at this moment, the expressions of Wang Yan and Jiang Hao took a huge change. Their previous smiles were replaced with looks of anger.
Turning his head to look, Yuan Qing's expression also changed. That was because a young man appeared beside Bai Ruochen.
This young man was talking and laughing with Bai Ruochen; it appeared as if they were very intimate. Most importantly, this man only had the cultivation of a rank one Martial King. Furthermore, he was not wearing an Ascension Sect disciple's outfit; it was evident that he was someone from a different power.
"It's him?" When Yuan Qing recognized the man's appearance, the anger on his face became even more pronounced. He even began to faintly emit a killing intent. That was because he managed to recognize that man with a single glance, it was the man who had placed him in an embarrassing state, a man that he hated deeply, Chu Feng.
Ever since what had happened earlier, Yuan Qing's hatred for Chu Feng could be said to have reached bone deep. So, when he saw Chu Feng besides Bai Ruochen, making that icy cold Bai Ruochen smile, the hatred in his heart instantly rose dramatically. At the same time, envy emerged from his heart and at this moment, he truly wished to rip Chu Feng to pieces.
That was because the overly conceited him had, ever since the moment he laid eyes on Bai Ruochen, decided in his conceited heart that Bai Ruochen would be his future wife. Yet, at this moment, there was actually a man being so intimate with his wife. Naturally, he became boundlessly angry.
"Junior brother Yuan Qing, you know of that brat?" Hearing Yuan Qing's exclamation, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao asked together. Actually, it was not only them who were interested in Chu Feng's identity; the other disciples also lent their ears to listen to Yuan Qing's reply. Even that Huang Juan looked over at Yuan Qing curiously.
"Humph. His name is Chu Feng. He is nothing but a trash disciple from the Southern Cyanwood Forest." Yuan Qing coldly smiled. He did not bother explaining much about Chu Feng.
However, both Wang Yan and Jiang Hao were able to sense that there seemed to be some sort of grievance between Yuan Qing and Chu Feng. Otherwise, it was unbefitting for Yuan Qing to act so hostile toward him. Thus, the two of them asked. "Junior brother Yuan Qing, could it be that you have some sort of grievance with that Chu Feng? Don't worry, after you enter the Cyanwood Mountain, your older brothers here shall help you take revenge."
"Him? How could such trash be worthy of having a grievance with me? Back then, he entered the southern region's Ancient Era's Immortal Pond alongside me. Overestimating himself, he insisted on entering the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's deepest regions alongside me. I managed to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle there. And him? He ended up losing his way, and nearly died in that Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. He is simply unworthy of being mentioned alongside me," said Yuan Qing in a cold manner.
"He actually lost his way in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond? In that case, he truly is trash. Hahaha…" Upon hearing those words, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao burst into loud laughter. However, soon, they asked with confused expressions. "In that case, why would such trash be flying alongside Bai Ruochen? Isn't he a disciple of the Southern Cyanwood Forest? How come he's with the Ascension Sect?"
Right at this moment, the headmaster of the Eastern Cyanwood Forest sneered. "It would appear that the Ascension Sect and the Southern Cyanwood Forest have gotten quite close these days."
As he said those words, his gaze shifted toward a direction. As the crowd looked toward the direction of his gaze, they saw that two aged silhouettes appeared from an Ascension Sect's warship. As for those two aged silhouettes, they all recognized them; one was the Ascension Sect's sectmaster Zhou Zhixian, and the other was Southern Cyanwood Forest's headmaster Sikong Zhaixing.
"When did those two get together?" Seeing this scene, not to mention the disciples like Yuan Qing and the rest, even the headmasters of the Western Cyanwood Forest, Northern Cyanwood Forest and the Orion Monastery frowned with confusion.
In fact, it was not only them. At this moment, the entire crowd's expression changed. They were completely confused by what was happening.
Faced with the reaction of the crowd, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster seemed to have already prepared for it. Thus, not only was he not surprised, he was actually feeling that the crowd was not shocked enough. Thus, he turned his gaze to the crowd, cupped his first respectfully and, with a loud voice, said, "Since all the headmasters are present, it is a convenient timing for me to announce a matter."
"Our Ascension Sect has entered an alliance with the Southern Cyanwood Forest. From today hence, we shall live and die together. I hope that headmasters will take care of us in the future."
The words spoken by the Ascension Sect's sectmaster were said with a very dull and ordinary tone. However, the moment it entered into the ears of the crowd, they became very shocking words. The Ascension Sect had entered an alliance with the Southern Cyanwood Forest? This was truly shocking news.
One must know that before this, the Ascension Sect and the Southern Cyanwood Forest were two powers that could never be further apart from one another. Never have anyone heard that there was any sort of relationship between them. Yet, they suddenly entered into an alliance. Furthermore, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster publicly declared that they would live and die together, as if they will not let anyone off that dared to do anything to the Southern Cyanwood Forest. This was truly world-shocking news.
"The Ascension Sect actually entered into an alliance with the Southern Cyanwood Forest? How did the Southern Cyanwood Forest accomplish such a feat? Exactly what sort of method did they use? Could it be a reversal of fortune?" Compared to the others, the one with the most complicated feeling at the present was not the Three Cyanwood Forests or the Orion Monastery; it was instead the Cloud Thunder Pavilion.
The Cloud Thunder Pavilion was once a power allied with the Southern Cyanwood Forest. They had once journeyed to the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond together with the Southern Cyanwood Forest. However, because they determined that the Orion Monastery disliked the Southern Cyanwood Forest at the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, they cut off their alliance with the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
Ever since that day, not only did they disallow their disciples to enter the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond alongside the Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciples, training together alongside them; they even suddenly declared that they would no longer have any dealings with the Southern Cyanwood Forest. It could be said that they had severed their relationship with the Southern Cyanwood Forest completely. As for the reason why the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster did such a thing, it was all because he had wanted to obtain the good graces of the Orion Monastery.
However, other than obtaining disdain and being cursed out by some other powers, his actions did not bring about any good graces from the Orion Monastery. This caused their Cloud Thunder Pavilion to be somewhat regretful, regretful in how decisive they had been in severing all relationships with the Southern Cyanwood Forest. And now that the Southern Cyanwood Forest actually managed to enter an alliance with the Ascension Sect, a first-rate subsidiary power, this caused them to become even more regretful.
After all, regardless of whether the Ascension Sect might or might not be the bottom feeder of the five first-rate subsidiary powers, it was still a first-rate subsidiary power. For second-rate subsidiary powers like themselves, if they could manage to get into a relationship with a first-rate subsidiary power, it meant that they would have an enormous protector. At the very least, among the second-rate subsidiary powers, there would barely be anyone daring enough to bully them.
"After this many years, the Ascension Sect and the Southern Cyanwood Forest have entered into an alliance again. This is truly a matter worthy of celebrations. Sectmaster and headmaster, congratulations."
Right at this moment, an aged voice suddenly sounded. Turning their eyes toward the source, the crowd all felt a deep veneration. The elders of the Cyanwood Mountain had appeared on the stage.

Chapter 1115 – Half Martial Emperor White Ape 1y
Turning their gazes to the voice, twenty-six elders were standing in the air and walking toward the crowd.
While these elders consisted of both men and women, they were all old and gray-haired. Each and every one of them appeared to have the air of immortality, and their long gowns fluttered in the wind as they moved. It was truly a very extraordinary appearance. Furthermore, each and every one of them possessed the cultivation of a Half Martial Emperor.
The grandeur of their unified arrival, as they walked toward the crowd from the sky, was truly incomparable. Although, there were tens of thousands of individuals on the plaza right now, in terms of overall strength, they were inferior to these twenty-six Cyanwood Mountain elders.
Especially, the white-bearded old man that lead the twenty-six elders. His strength was a profound mystery. Likely, he would be able to defeat all of the headmasters present by himself.
The old man did not possess a tall height. As for his build, it was also very skinny and shriveled; and his appearance was also extremely ugly. Furthermore, he displayed a hunchback as he walked with bent waist. From a single glance, he appeared like an old, dying, white haired monkey. However, not a single person dared to be disrespectful toward him. Even the Three Cyanwood Forest's headmasters did not dare to disrespect him.
That was because he was one of the Cyanwood Mountain's management elders. Furthermore, because his appearance was like that of an ape or monkey, the people nicknamed him as Half Martial Emperor White Ape. This Half Martial Emperor White Ape's reputation was not only limited to the Cyanwood Domain. He possessed fame even in the entire Holy Land of Martialism. As for his strength, it was extremely frightening. Furthermore, the person who had spoken earlier was precisely this man.
"We pay our respects to Elder White Ape. We pay our respect to the other elders."
At this moment, the headmasters, elders and disciples of all the powers cupped their fists and respectfully paid their respects toward the twenty-six elders. Their voices were filled with reverence and resounded through the horizon like thunder, echoing for thousands of miles.
"Enough, enough, we're all old acquaintances already. There is no need for you all to be this modest. Furthermore, these people behind me all used to be your old subordinates. The reason I brought them over is precisely so that we can talk about former times. So there is no need for you to pay such grand respects toward them, as this would only make a mess out of the seniority." Half Martial Emperor White Ape opened his large mouth and displayed a relatively ugly and somewhat vulgar-looking smile. However, one must admit that the laughter from his mouth was truly cheerful and lighthearted.
Seeing this, the headmasters present also started laughing. Indeed, other than Half Martial Emperor White Ape, all of the other elders behind him were people that they recognized. Furthermore, they had all originated from the five first-rate subsidiary powers.
All of them used to be disciples of the five first-rate subsidiary powers. Furthermore, they were the most outstanding disciples. After entering the Cyanwood Mountain, their fame and reputations had only continued to rise. After they passed the time limit of being disciples, during the moment when they were given the choice to either leave the Cyanwood Mountain or stay and become elders, they had chosen to stay and become elders.
Although they had decided to stay in the Cyanwood Mountain, they still considered themselves to be part of their respective powers from before they had come to the Cyanwood Mountain. Their purpose in remaining in the Cyanwood Mountain was so that they could assist their respective powers, and obtain benefits for the younger generations of their respective powers, in the Cyanwood Mountain. In fact, even though they carried the names of being elders of the Cyanwood Mountain, they still belonged to the five first-rate subsidiary powers. The only difference was that they were stationed in the Cyanwood Mountain.
"Enough with the foolish smiles. It's a great difficulty for you all to see them again, go over and talk about former times with your headmasters." Half Martial Emperor White Ape waved his hand. Seeing this, the twenty-five elders behind him bowed respectfully, then flew over to their respective powers. Although it was only a simple action, everyone could tell how high of a status Half Martial Emperor White Ape possessed. His imposingness made it so that no one dared to speak ill of him.
However, the twenty-five Half Martial Emperors were all separated into the five first-rate subsidiary powers. As for the other subsidiary powers, none of them possessed any relationship with these twenty-five Half Martial Emperors.
Furthermore, of the twenty-five, eighteen of them were people from the Three Cyanwood Forests. As for the remaining seven, three were from the Orion Monastery and four were from the Ascension Sect. Although these twenty-five elders were most definitely not all of the strength the five first-rate subsidiary powers had stationed on the Cyanwood Mountain, one could still indirectly tell the difference in strength between the five subsidiary powers on the Cyanwood Mountain.
"It is more or less time now. The rules remain the same, those who wish to participate may follow me. Those who do not, you may stay here. There will be elders coming to make arrangements for you all later." Suddenly, Half Martial Emperor White Ape soared to the sky. With his hands behind his back and his waist bent, he walked slowly toward the deepest region of the Cyanwood Mountain.
Seeing this, the elders and disciples of the five first-rate subsidiary powers all moved forward and followed him. There were also many people from the other subsidiary powers that followed.
As for what they were going to do, it was to participate in a so called 'Commander Competition.'
As disciples brought over by the subsidiary powers, all of them possessed the qualification of becoming core disciples. Thus, they were able to become core disciples without going through any test.
However, this 'Commander Competition' was there as a tool to reward excellent disciples. Anyone could participate in this. At the same time, they could choose to not participate.
As for what exactly this 'graceful pageant' was, it was actually just searching for some flags in a very vast formation.
These flags were respectively the Commander Flag, the General Flag and the Soldier Flag.
There was only a single Commander Flag, but there were three General Flags and ninety Soldier Flags. Based on the type of flag that one obtained, a different sort of sign would appear. Furthermore, they were able to exchange the flags that they had obtained for different rewards in the Cyanwood Mountain.
As for the rewards, they were all predetermined. As the Commander Flag was the hardest to find, it was deemed the most supreme. Whoever it was that obtained the Commander Flag would obtain a monastery in the core region of the Cyanwood Mountain. The monastery would contain several luxurious palaces and be waited upon by excellent quality servants provided by the Cyanwood Mountain. They would also be able to train in Earthen Taboo Martial Skills without any restrictions. On top of that, they would be given a single top quality Royal Armament and ten thousand Martial Beads, as well as a thousand achievement points.
For those who managed to obtain General Flags, their rewards would be much more inferior. While they would be able to obtain servants to serve them, the servants would not be of the most excellent quality. While they would be able to obtain a Royal Armament, it would only be high quality, and not a top quality one. While they would be allowed to learn Earthen Taboo Martial Skills, they would be limited to learning only a single one. As for the Martial Beads, they would only be given five hundred of them. For achievement points, they would only obtain a hundred.
As for those who managed to obtain Soldier Flags, they would only obtain ten achievement points, without any other added benefits.
As for the achievement points, they could be considered to be a currency within the Cyanwood Mountain. While they could only be used in the Cyanwood Mountain, they could not be saved and not used. That was because in the Cyanwood Mountain, regardless of whether it might be trying to learn a Martial Skill, obtain cultivation resources, or even the ability to train in special places, they were all required to be purchased with achievement points.
As for how to obtain these achievement points, other than being rewarded by the Cyanwood Mountain, one could only obtain them by completing missions. By completing missions of different difficulties, one would be able to obtain different amount of achievement points. Essentially, the achievement points were extremely important to disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain, and could be said to be absolutely essential, where the more one possessed, the better it would be.
To disciples that had just entered the Cyanwood Mountain, ten achievement points was a very good amount. As for the reward of a thousand achievement points for the person who obtained the Commander Flag, it could be said to be an enormous amount.
However, the most important matter was that being able to obtain the Commander Flag was a great glory. Furthermore, ever since ancient times, the person who managed to obtain the Commander Flag every year would always become a powerful individual in the core region filled with geniuses, and become a grand character of history.
Thus, the disciples of all the powers, especially those famed geniuses, had all set their goal to be the Commander Flag. That was because, if they obtained the Commander Flag, not only would it be a glory to them, they would also be valued by the elders and disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain. In short, it would be equivalent to laying down a very good headstart for their future.
After all, regardless of what they had accomplished in the past, or how famous they now were, it was all unrelated to the Cyanwood Mountain. Only by obtaining glories in the Cyanwood Mountain could they truly be acknowledged by those in the Cyanwood Mountain

Chapter 1116 – Commander Competition, Start
At this moment, majority of the headmasters and disciples followed Half Martial Emperor White Ape.
However, there were also many that chose to stay. That was because they knew that they had no hope of being able to obtain any flag. Thus, instead of humiliating themselves, they decided to peacefully enter the Cyanwood Forest and dutifully become core disciples. Perhaps this way, they might secure an opportunity to become stronger in the future.
After all, only a couple people would be able to obtain the flags in such a competition. With the strengths of their opponents, it would be normal for them to not be able to the flags.
However, there would always be many people who wanted to seek gains in chaos and try their luck. Thus, this led to the fact that although there were less than a hundred flags altogether, there would always be no less than ten thousand disciples in every Commander Competition.
Under the guide of Half Martial Emperor White Ape, Chu Feng and the others arrived at the area of the flag seizing competition. It was a mountain range in the sky. To be more exact, it was a forest of stone in the sky.
At this moment, before Chu Feng and the others' eyes were stones as far as their eyes could see. These stones were very peculiar. Their sizes and shapes were all different. The smaller ones were only the size of watermelons, whereas the larger ones were close to a kilometer in height, like enormous mountains erected in the sky.
As for these stones, they were all isolated from one another with space between each of them. Furthermore, special runes and symbols were written all over the stones. As they flickered and floated in the sky, they appeared to be very beautiful and magnificent.
"I suspect you all have already mentioned the rules of the Commander Competition to these disciples. Thus, I am not going to bother saying much superfluous words. I have only a single sentence to say to all you disciples: I wish you luck."
After arriving at this place, Half Martial Emperor White Ape waved his hand, indicating to the crowd to enter the forest of stones. As for the disciples, they did not hesitate to enter either. One by one, they flew into the vast forest of stones that filled their field of view, striving for the chance to obtain flags for themselves.
In fact, the rules of the Commander Competition were very simple indeed. There was a total of ninety-four flags. As for these flags, they were all hidden within these stones.
However, one must find out where the flags were hidden by themselves. Furthermore, because special spirit formations were placed onto these stones, it made it so that one could not forcibly break them apart. Therefore, one must use spirit formation techniques to break the spirit formations on the stones apart to determine whether there might be flags hidden within.
As for breaking apart of the spirit formations, it was a lengthy process. If one's eyesight was bad and one chose the wrong stone, they would only discover that there was no flag only after breaking the formation and wasting a great deal of time. The time that was wasted would be equivalent to giving others more and better chances at finding the flags. Thus, the disciples were all very cautious in their actions, and would directly rush into the depths of the forest of stones. That was because in the previous years, all of the flags were mostly hidden in the depths of the forest of stones.
At this moment, Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen were flying alongside each other. Following behind them were the disciples of the Ascension Sect and the Southern Cyanwood Forest. These disciples did not urgently go about their ways to search for flags. Instead, they were completely focused on following Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen, like guards protecting their commanders, while also maintaining a certain distance from them. Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen were neither fast nor slow. The two of them were using their special methods to inspect the surrounding stones with great attention.
"Junior sister Bai, who do you think among the two of us…" said Chu Feng with a smile on his face after inspecting the stones.
"Who are you calling junior sister?" Bai Ruochen cast a side eye at Chu Feng. With a tone of displeasure, she said. "Call me senior sister."
At this moment, the Ascension Sect's disciples that followed behind the two of them were also frowning. Chu Feng was truly the first person that dared to speak with Bai Ruochen in such a manner. However, upon seeing that Bai Ruochen only cast a side eye at Chu Feng, and did not get really angry, they felt that it was even more unfathomable of an event. That was because Bai Ruochen's reaction at this moment, when compared to her temperament, could truly be said to be very well-mannered.
"No matter what your Ascension Sect's disciples address you as, I am not a disciple of your Ascension Sect. Regardless, I place other's seniority according to age. If you are to say that your age is older than mine, then I will gladly address you as senior sister," said Chu Feng with a beaming smile.
"You… forget about it, do whatever you want." Bai Ruochen was made speechless by Chu Feng. She was clearly younger than Chu Feng; thus, she had no reason to say that she was older than him, because that would be equivalent to saying that she was more aged than Chu Feng. With how young and tender she was, how could she possibly go around calling herself old and aged?
As for Chu Feng, after having interacted with Bai Ruochen for the past months, he had already understood her temperament, and had already anticipated Bai Ruochen's reaction. However, he did not hurry to display his victory. Instead, he waved his hand to the disciples of the Ascension Sect and the Southern Cyanwood Forest that followed behind them and said. "What are you all doing following us? Quickly, go and search for the flags."
"Eh…" After hearing what Chu Feng said, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciples glanced at one another before leaving in succession.
However, the disciples of the Ascension Sect were startled by Chu Feng's actions and opened their mouths wide in shock. Chu Feng's actions was truly too obvious. He was openly driving them away.
However, who was Chu Feng? What sort of status and strength did he possess? He was nothing more than a mere Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple. While driving away those from the Southern Cyanwood Forest would be fine, what gave him the right to drive them away? Although, they knew that their Ascension Sect had entered an alliance with the Southern Cyanwood Forest, they still did not place the Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciples in their eyes.
However, right at this moment, those powerful and peak existences among the Ascension Sect's disciples actually, without saying another word, began to make haste and leave.
These disciples that left first, were the ones that had been training at the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Pagoda that day. They had experienced Chu Feng's powerful might for themselves, and saw with their own eyes how Bai Ruochen was defeated by Chu Feng. Thus, they knew very well how powerful Chu Feng was, and naturally did not dare to disobey him.
However, because those disciples did not spread about the matters that had happened that day, even for the Ascension Sect's disciples, only a few among them knew of Chu Feng's strength. Thus, when the ignorant disciples saw their senior sisters and brothers that they revered obeying Chu Feng's command and leaving in succession, their minds became completely clouded with questions.
However, after seeing how Chu Feng dared to speak in such a manner to Bai Ruochen, and Bai Ruochen actually not doing anything about it, they managed to, more or less, realize that this Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple was likely extraordinary. At the very least, he was very familiar with Bai Ruochen, because not a single disciple from the Ascension Sect dared to speak to Bai Ruochen in such a manner. Actually, it was because they did not have the opportunity to approach Bai Ruochen. After hesitations and more hesitations, the Ascension Sect's disciples began to leave one after the other.
"Heh. Say, who do you think between the two of us will obtain the Commander Flag?" Chu Feng looked to Bai Ruochen with a beaming smile. His eyes displayed an expression as if his plans were already in motion.
"You'll be able to obtain the Commander Flag," replied Bai Ruochen with a tone of certainty. Without even bothering to think, she answered.
"What? How could you be this unconfident in yourself? This is unlike you." After hearing Bai Ruochen's response, Chu Feng displayed an expression of surprise. Inevitably, he was somewhat disappointed, as his evil plan was ruined.
Originally, Chu Feng wanted to take advantage of Bai Ruochen's pride and make a gamble with her so that he could extort some benefits from her. However, never did he expect that she would actually give such a response, ruining his evil plan completely.

Chapter 1117 – Harassing Bai Ruochen
Bai Ruochen did not directly respond to Chu Feng. Instead, she first took a glance at their surroundings and, upon finding that there was no one near them, said. "Your eyes are very special. It is even more powerful than my investigation methods. As long as you decided to search for it wholeheartedly, and did not possess too much bad luck, then this year's Commander Flag is most definitely going to be yours."
"Eh…" At this moment, Chu Feng was speechless. Although his Heaven's Eyes were very sharp, he had trained it to a state where others would find it very difficult to detect it. Yet, Bai Ruochen had managed to detect it. This was rather surprising to Chu Feng.
"Let's go. I will not fight over your Commander Flag. However, if possible, I wish that after you find the Commander Flag, you could help me find a General Flag." Suddenly, Bai Ruochen asked with a requesting tone.
"Yoh, you actually want my help? This is truly a rare occasion." At this moment, the surprised expression on Chu Feng's face became even more pronounced.
"I am standing at the same starting line as you right now. I also wish to be able to get a head-start compared to others. Although that hundred achievement points might not amount to much, rather than to allow another to obtain it, it is better for me to obtain it myself. Therefore, I am determined to obtain a General Flag. As the subsidiary powers we are from are in an alliance, you should naturally be helping me." Bai Ruochen looked to Chu Feng with a very serious expression, using her beautiful pair of eyes.
"Alliance? You're actually using that as a justification?" Chu Feng displayed a face of helplessness. He felt that he had been defeated by Bai Ruochen. With how serious her expression and words were, he truly had no grounds to refuse her.
However, a thought appeared in his mind. Chu Feng mischievously laughed and said. "I have two conditions. As long as you can agree to one of them, I will help you."
"What conditions?" asked Bai Ruochen.
Chu Feng did not answer her. Instead, he displayed a shameless smile, and said with a very vulgar tone. "Let me kiss your little lips."
"You… shameless!" Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen's cheeks immediately turned red. At the same time, anger filled her eyes. Without saying another word, she waved her sleeve and proceeded to leave.
If it was anyone other than Chu Feng that had said these words to her, she would've already given that person two large slaps to the face. Even if she did not kill that person, she would make that person a cripple. To a woman like Bai Ruochen, what she could not stand the most was this sort of harassment.
"Haha…" Seeing this scene, Chu Feng started to laugh.
Actually, Chu Feng knew beforehand that Bai Ruochen would refuse him. After interacting with her for the previous months, Chu Feng found out that not only was Bai Ruochen's temperament very icy cold, she was also a girl determined to keep herself pure. A demand like the one that he had made, would most definitely be rejected by Bai Ruochen. Furthermore, it would also make her angry.
However, although he had already anticipated the result, he still found it to be very enjoyable to watch Bai Ruochen's intense reactions. After all, this was only a demand from him, and he did not actually do anything. Yet, it made Bai Ruochen this angry. This meant that Bai Ruochen was truly a very pure girl.
However, why was it that even though he knew this was going to happen, Chu Feng still decided to do it? Actually, this was all a trap laid down by Chu Feng so that Bai Ruochen would agree to his second demand.
Therefore, Chu Feng hurriedly caught up to Bai Ruochen and said. "It's fine for you to refuse that demand; I still have my second demand."
"Scram, I do not wish to speak with you." Bai Ruochen was truly angry. At this moment, the redness of her face began to recede. However, the angry expression was still not lowered in the slightest.
"In that case, do you not wish to obtain a General Flag and get a headstart at the starting point?" Chu Feng asked with a beaming smile.
"There's no need. Even without you, I am still able to obtain a General Flag. Who knows, perhaps I might even be able to obtain the Commander Flag," said Bai Ruochen while gnashing her teeth in anger.
"Yoh, how come you've suddenly become this confident? Did you really think that you'll be able to find them? From where I stand, it seemed that those three disciples from the Three Cyanwood Forests, and that Yuan Qing from the Orion Monastery, are not that easy to deal with," said Chu Feng.
As Wang Yan and the others had inspected Chu Feng, it was only natural for Chu Feng and those with him to have inspected Wang Yan and the others. They knew about Wang Yan and the others' identities and strength. Actually, the reason why Bai Ruochen asked for Chu Feng's help was because of them.
After all, as this forest of stones was so enormous, strength would only play a part of the role in finding the flags. As for the other portion, it would be luck. If one did not possess absolute strength and heavenly luck, they might really miss out on the good opportunity, and have the flags obtained by others.
However, Bai Ruochen continued to ignore Chu Feng and proceeded to continue onward. One could tell that she was truly angered by Chu Feng. However, to Chu Feng, the appearance of Bai Ruochen being angry was rather rare and interesting. After all, no matter how one looked at a beauty, she would still be a beauty.
Thus, Chu Feng did not give up, and took out his shameless spirit that he would only use on beauties. He caught up to Bai Ruochen again and said. "My second demand is much more simple. You merely need to tell me your mother's name."
"What?" Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen was surprised. She stopped her footsteps and looked to Chu Feng with a confused expression. "Why do you want to know that?"
"No one knows about your mother's name, making it a mystery. As it is so mysterious, I have also become curious about it."
"However, if you really cannot tell me, then you can pretend that I have not mentioned these two demands of mine. With our relationship, I will actually help you without any conditions. Those words I spoke earlier, you can just think that I was joking around," said Chu Feng while smiling.
"My mother's name is Bai Suyan. Do not tell others about it. Also, do not tell anyone that it is me who told you her name. Even if my mother asked about it, you cannot tell her." Bai Ruochen said these words to Chu Feng through voice transmission. After she finished saying them, she proceeded to continue forward.
"She's also surnamed Bai? Could it be that Bai Ruochen is following her mother's surname?" At this moment, Chu Feng began to ponder. The reason why he asked Bai Ruochen about her mother's name was because he had sensed that Bai Ruochen and her mother were extraordinary people, and therefore wanted to know a bit more about this mother and daughter.
However, he only pondered for a moment before catching up to Bai Ruochen. With a very serious expression, he said to Bai Ruochen. "There is something that I must tell you."
"What is it?" Seeing this, Bai Ruochen hurriedly asked.
"Your mother's name sounds better than yours." Chu Feng opened his mouth and spoke with mischievous laughter.
"There's something wrong with your head." Bai Ruochen stared at Chu Feng. The expression of displeasure that was originally gone from her face emerged onto her face once again. She knew that she was played a fool by Chu Feng.
"In that case, let me tell you another thing," said Chu Feng.
"Not going to listen." Bai Ruochen increased her speed.
As for Chu Feng, he chased after her and said. "However, you're prettier than your mother."
Bai Ruochen took a glance at Chu Feng; she did not respond to him and continued onward. However, her expression became a bit better.
Seeing that, Chu Feng continued to pursue her. WIth a beaming smile, he said. "Truly, even during the time when your mother's beauty is at her greatest, she would definitely be inferior to the current you."
"Senseless." Bai Ruochen gave Chu Feng a side eye. However, the annoyed and displeased expression on her face was completely gone now. It was so much so that her gaze seemed to have become many times gentler.
Women were such creatures. Regardless of whether they were pretty or ugly, they wished that others would praise them. Of course, one must also consider who the person speaking those words was. For some people, their praise would only make a woman be fed up with it. However, for some other people, their praise would make a woman burst with joy. As for Chu Feng, he was obviously the latter.
"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~"
Right at this moment, the surrounding space suddenly started to violently tremble. A powerful ripple was rapidly charging toward the two of them from behind.
At this moment, both Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen stopped their footsteps and turned their heads behind to look. They discovered four silhouettes flying over with powerful oppressive might. In a blink of an eye, the four people stopped before them.
These four individuals were precisely the hottest candidates for obtaining the Commander Flag in this Commander Contest: Wang Yan, Jiang Hao, Huang Juan and Yuan Qing.

Chapter 1118 – Scum
At this moment, the eyes of Wang Yan, Jiang Hao, Yuan Qing and even Huang Juan were shining. That was because at such a close distance, the beauty of Bai Ruochen appeared even more flawless and perfect, infatuating men and shaming women.
"I am Wang Yan, may I know of your name, miss?" At this moment, Wang Yan's eyes were shining like a wolf seeing a sheep. Unable to contain himself, he even secretly gulped down a mouthful of saliva. One could see how charmed he was by Bai Ruochen.
However, while he might be charmed, he did not express it too excessively. Instead, he cupped his hands and greeted Bai Ruochen respectfully, displaying himself to be an elegant, upright gentleman.
"What are you pretending for? Didn't you already know that Miss Bai's name is Bai Ruochen? To ask while you already know the answer, are you not a bit too shameless?" Never would Wang Yan ever have expected that, upon asking that question, Jiang Hao would stand out and scold him in order to obtain a favorable impression of Bai Ruochen, while also attacking his love rival.
At this moment, Wang Yan was stunned. No matter what, he and Jiang Hao had known each other for many years. On the surface, the two of them were brothers, with a very good relationship.
Never did he ever imagine that Jiang Hao would be such a demented person, placing a woman before his brother. Not only did he not assist him, he actually exposed and attacked him before Bai Ruochen.
This had truly caught Wang Yan off guard, filling his stomach with resentment. If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Yan possessed quite a profound cultivation, then he would've likely already vomited a mouthful of blood and been angered to death by Jiang Hao's conduct.
As for Jiang Hao, he did not hold the slightest sympathy for Wang Yan, who was placed in an embarrassing and stunned state. He completely disregarded their relationship of brothers and hurriedly seized the decisive opportunity to cup his fist respectfully to greet Bai Ruochen.
He said. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Bai. My name is Jiang Hao. Say, this is such a vast place, for us to be able to encounter each other in this place, it must truly be fate."
"Fate, my ass. Clearly you have followed them the entire time, and then asked the disciples of the Ascension Sect for directions, in order to catch up to Miss Bai." At this moment, a moment to retaliate finally arrived for Wang Yan. With a consciousness of striking back at he who refused to uphold brotherhood, he exposed Jiang Hao's crimes.
"Wang Yan, you… what gives you the right to say that about me? Are you not the same? Otherwise, how did you catch up to Miss Bai then?" refuted Jiang Hao in anger.
"Indeed, I have followed her. However, I did it fair and square, openly and honorably; unlike you. You have clearly followed Miss Bai stealthily, yet you shamelessly declare it to be fate. What a bunch of crap, have you no shame?" Wang Yan opened his large mouth and spit out a mouthful of phlegm. Earlier, Jiang Hao had embarrassed him. Now, he would be returning everything with interest.
"Damn you, Wang Yan…" As the phlegm flew from Wang Yan's mouth, if Jiang Hao did not have a fast reaction speed, and dodged in time, the phlegm would've landed directly on his face. This caused Jiang Hao to become furious. He extended his palm and grabbed toward Wang Yan; he wished to fight him.
As for Wang Yan, he was not to be outdone. These two brothers for many years were actually going to fight one another for a woman.
"Hah. Junior sister Bai, I am truly sorry for the embarrassment. The temperaments of these two senior brothers of mine is rather hilarious. I truly hope that you do not take offense. Actually, the reason we have come here is for no other intention than to try to get to know junior sister Bai, since we are all going to become disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain." Right when Jiang Hao and Wang Yan were quarreling with one another, Yuan Qing seized the opportunity and politely spoke with Bai Ruochen.
Bai Ruochen's gaze was originally attracted by Wang Yan and Jiang Hao who were fighting one another. However, after hearing what Yuan Qing said, her gaze shifted to him.
Seeing Bai Ruochen looking at him, Yuan Qing immediately felt his mind become much clearer. He hurriedly greeted her with a refined and courteous appearance. "I am Yuan Qing, it is my pleasure to meet junior sister Bai."
Huang Juan beside Yuan Qing was surprised by his actions. As for Wang Yan and Jiang Hao who were quarreling, they were both stupefied by Yuan Qing. They all realized that they had underestimated him.
From the actions Yuan Qing had made earlier, they were all able to tell that he had some skill around girls. Furthermore, his skill was many times superior to Wang Yan and Jiang Hao's.
Actually, neither Wang Yan nor Jiang Hao had any skill at all. They had relied on the fact that they were geniuses. With countless girls wanting to be with them, they merely needed to say a single word for a girl to sleep with them. There was simply no need for them to use any skill in wooing a girl at all. Therefore, they did not know what was required to receive a girl's liking.
However, upon seeing Yuan Qing's actions, they immediately realized that Yuan Qing was most definitely an expert with girls, a true immoral and despicable person.
However, right at this moment when everyone felt that Yuan Qing would gain Bai Ruochen's favorable impression, a shocking scene occurred. An icy coldness suddenly appeared in Bai Ruochen's eyes. WIth an expression of disdain and being fed up, she took a glance at Yuan Qing and turned around to leave without saying a single word.
Fuck off; what does it mean to be told to fuck off? This was what it meant to be told to fuck off.
There were women that would pretend to be proud and disguise themselves to be inviolable goddesses before ordinary men, even looking down upon them with disdain. However, before men with strength, their original identity would be fully revealed.
But as for Bai Ruochen, she was completely different. To ordinary men, she would be very cold toward them, giving off the sensation of a very out-of-reach distance between them. However, when faced with men with strength, not only would Bai Ruochen not change her attitude toward them, she would instead become even colder. This was something that one could tell from her attitude toward Yuan Qing, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao.
As he watched Bai Ruochen's back as she left, Chu Feng felt honored. At this moment, he truly realized how deserving of joy it was for him to be able to converse with her at such a close distance.
Although it could not be said that he and Bai Ruochen were intimate with one another, he could, at the very least, talk and laugh with Bai Ruochen, and joke around without any regard. However, for Yuan Qing and the others, they did not even have the qualifications to speak with Bai Ruochen. Upon comparing himself to them, Chu Feng immediately felt that he was blessed.
While Chu Feng was feeling blessed, Yuan Qing, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao were stupefied. They felt a deep sense of defeat, as if they had been kicked into the boundless abyss.
What sort of situation was this? Their names were known throughout the entire Cyanwood Domain, causing countless women to submit to these geniuses. For the purpose of obtaining a good impression from Bai Ruochen, they had even started a battle among brothers. Yet, what sort of reaction did this Bai Ruochen give them? She actually did not even bother to pay any attention to them and left. This was truly too great of a shock to them.
Unreconciled, truly unreconciled. Especially Yuan Qing, he had thought of a hundred different reactions that Bai Ruochen might give, but had never thought of this one.
"Junior sister Bai, did this Yuan Qing do something wrong that offended junior sister Bai?" Unwilling to back off, Yuan Qing asked.
After Yuan Qing said those words, Bai Ruochen stopped her steps. She turned around and spoke a sentence indifferently. "Since you've asked, I'll give you an answer."
"Remember, you all are to not to talk to me in the future, because I do not have the time to waste on scum like you."

Chapter 1119 – Overestimating Your Abilities
After Bai Ruochen said those words, she immediately turned around and continued to go on her way.
However, Wang Yan, Yuan Qing and Jiang Hao felt as if a ten thousand catty sledgehammer appeared from the sky and smashed directly onto their heads. At this moment, their minds were completely blank, with only a single word echoing through them.
Scum, scum, scum, scum…
Scum? They believed themselves to be elegant and graceful geniuses, the object of admiration for many women, the object that many men bowed down to. Yet, they were actually being called scum by someone.
If it was said that Bai Ruochen's action before had shocked them, then the words spoken by her just now were something that they could not accept.
"Hahaha, scum, so the three of you actually have such a nickname too." At this moment, Huang Juan was laughing in amusement. However, her laughter was truly vile, and even appeared to be adding fire.
Actually, at this very moment, the extremely conceited Wang Yan, Jiang Hao and Yuan Qing had all become angry. If it was another woman who called them scum, then not only would the three of them immediately curse back at her, they might even start to directly attack her and rape her.
However, the woman standing before them was Bai Ruochen. Although her words were extremely repulsive, just by looking at her beautiful back before them, the three of them were unable to urge themselves to do anything too excessive.
"Chu Feng, get away from junior sister Bai Ruochen." Right at this moment, Yuan Qing suddenly shouted angrily. As he did not dare to do anything to Bai Ruochen, he shifted all of his rage onto Chu Feng.
"Yoh? Yuan Qing, you're actually still alive?" To Yuan Qing's great surprise, Chu Feng suddenly said those words after he turned around.
"What?" Those words spoken by Chu Feng not only confused Yuan Qing, it also confused Wang Yan, Jiang Hao, Huang Juan and even Bai Ruochen.
'You're actually still alive?' Was Chu Feng implying that Yuan Qing should be dead?
At this moment, only Chu Feng knew about the intention behind his words, as the person who had triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was him, and not Yuan Qing.
For what reason did Chu Feng allow Yuan Qing to pretend so openly that it was he who had triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle?
It was because he was suspicious, and feared that the Ancient Era's Elves would do something to the person who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Thus, he decided to allow Yuan Qing to continue on with his lie and take on the honor of being the person who had triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle for the time being. In short, Chu Feng wanted Yuan Qing to become his shield.
However, several months had passed since the triggering of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Yet, Yuan Qing was still alive and kicking. This meant that the Ancient Era's Elves did not do anything to Yuan Qing. Otherwise, with the methods of the Ancient Era's Elves, Yuan Qing ought to be dead already.
Thus, when Chu Feng saw Yuan Qing, he was actually secretly delighted. He felt that if the Ancient Era's Elves wanted to kill Yuan Qing, they would've already done so. Since Yuan Qing was still alive, it meant that the Ancient Era's Elves were willing to let him live.
Since Yuan Qing was fine, it meant that there was no need for him to continue on with the honorable title of the person who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle; it was time for Chu Feng to take back what was originally his. Thus, Chu Feng said. "If I were you, I'd be enjoying my current lifestyle to the fullest, instead of trying to stir up trouble everywhere and womanizing others."
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that Chu Feng not only did not answer his question, he instead said such unfathomable words, Yuan Qing became even more angry.
"You will understand what I mean soon." Chu Feng smiled lightly and then turned around. Intimately, he patted Bai Ruochen's shoulder and then, with a voice that was not loud, but was extremely clear to the ears of everyone present, said. "Lil Sis Ruochen, let's go."
When Chu Feng did this action and said those words, Yuan Qing, Wang Yan, Jiang Hao and even Huang Juan's expression changed. An indescribable expression appeared on their faces.
Actually, at this moment, even Bai Ruochen was frowning. However, she did not say anything. Instead, she sped up her movement and used a movement martial skill to rapidly disappear from everyone's line of sight.
After Bai Ruochen left, Chu Feng turned around and displayed a provocative and disdainful smile to Yuan Qing. "Treasure what is before your eyes. Your happy days will not last for much longer." After saying those words, Chu Feng's body moved, and he rapidly chased after Bai Ruochen.
At this moment, Yuan Qing, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao's lungs were about to explode, and their intestines were about to break from rage.
The goddess of their hearts, Bai Ruochen, had called them scum and was unwilling to even speak with them.
Yet, that trash disciple from the Southern Cyanwood Forest not only called Bai Ruochen 'Lil Sis,' he even dared to touch Bai Ruochen's sacred body with his filthy hand.
Most importantly, Bai Ruochen did not actually display an antipathic expression or any unwillingness toward Chu Feng's actions. It was as if she was accepting them. Could it be that this Bai Ruochen was together with that trash Chu Feng?
When they thought of this point, the three of them did not dare to think any further. One by one, they clenched their firsts. The urge to chop Chu Feng into eight pieces, skinning him and pulling his tendons out, appeared in their hearts.
"This guy by the name of Chu Feng is truly deserving of death." In extreme anger, Yuan Qing, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao said those words simultaneously.
"What, could it be that the three of you are feeling jealous?" Seeing this, Huang Juan laughed and added oil to fire.
"Jealous? How could he be worthy of our jealousy?" Hearing those words, the angry expression on Yuan Qing, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao's faces became even more pronounced.
"Yoh yoh yoh, why are you all acting this angry toward me? It's not me who called you three scum. If you have the skill, then go and find that Bai Ruochen." Huang Juan cast a side-eye at the three of them. After that, she flew away.
However, before she left, she said. "However, I feel that Chu Feng is pretty extraordinary. Just by the fact at how unafraid he is, and his attitude of not putting any of you in his eyes, I know that guy possesses some skills."
"I advise the three of you to not go and provoke him, because the most frightening thing you can do, is to provoke someone you don't know." After saying those words, Huang Juan left.
However, Huang Juan's advice was not taken to heart by Yuan Qing, Wang Yan or Jiang Hao at all. That was because the three of them didn't believe Chu Feng to be powerful at all. Instead, they felt that he was useless trash.
"Brother Yuan Qing, we have countless opportunities to take care of that Chu Feng after we enter the Cyanwood Mountain. What we should do now is to use the time to search for the flags. As we do not know where the flags are hidden, it is better that we operate separately to search for them. I shall be taking my leave first." Wang Yan cupped his fist respectfully and then left.
"Brother Yuan Qing, take care." Immediately after Wang Yan left, Jiang Hao also left.
At this moment, only Yuan Qing remained. The angry expression in his eyes was not reduced in the slightest. His eyes were fixed onto the direction that Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen left in. Suddenly, his body moved; he began to follow Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen.
Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen were flying alongside one another. Due to the fact that the two of them had to inspect practically every stone before their path, their flying speed was not very fast.
"It seems that an ingrate is following us." Suddenly, Bai Ruochen's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. A displeased expression appeared on her pretty little face.
"Go on before me. Proceed toward the depths. Take this with you, I will go and find you later." Chu Feng handed Bai Ruochen a talisman paper with symbols imprinted on it. This was a Tracking Talisman. Carrying it, Chu Feng was able to tell where Bai Ruochen was and easily follow after her.
"Do not be too excessive. Just so-so will do. After all, we are in the territory of the Cyanwood Mountain." Bai Ruochen seemed to understand what Chu Feng's intention was. She received the Tracking Talisman and continued to proceed onward. Soon, she disappeared into the distant stone forest.
At this moment, Chu Feng turned his head around. As he sensed the aura that was approaching him, a strange smile appeared on his face. "Overestimating your abilities and courting death."

Chapter 1120 – Violently Beating Yuan Qing
"This Chu Feng is truly daring beyond belief. He actually dared to stay behind by himself. Did he truly think that I would not dare to do anything to him?"
At this moment, Yuan Qing was sensing Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen's auras and discovered that Chu Feng stopped while Bai Ruochen continued onward. The viciousness of his expression became denser.
The reason why he had chased after them was for nothing more than finding an opportunity to teach Chu Feng a lesson. As Chu Feng had publicly embarrassed him many times, he was truly unable to contain his anger, and felt that he must teach Chu Feng a lesson.
Although he had experienced Chu Feng's might in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and knew that Chu Feng was not someone to be underestimated, because the Orion Monastery had spent a great deal of resources on increasing his cultivation, he was now a rank three Martial King with a strength much stronger than back then.
Adding on his increased self-confidence, he practically felt that he would be able to violently beat down on Chu Feng. He even felt that not even Wang Yan, Jiang Hao and the others would be a match for him.
"Something's wrong. This guy shouldn't have discovered me or know that I'm following him. He most definitely only separated himself from Bai Ruochen. Ha, truly trash. However, this is better."
Right at the moment when Yuan Qing was about to reach Chu Feng, he discovered that Chu Feng's aura started moving. Furthermore, his speed was extremely fast. This caused him to think that he had not been discovered, and that Chu Feng had merely decided to separate from Bai Ruochen.
As Yuan Qing hated Chu Feng to the depths of his bones, he would naturally not care about whether Chu Feng discovered him or not. Thus, without thinking about anything, he immediately began to follow Chu Feng.
While he was completely focused on chasing after Chu Feng, and thinking about how to take care of him, he did not notice that Chu Feng was not moving deeper into the stone forest, but was instead moving toward a place with practically no one there.
"Strange, where'd he go?"
Finally, Yuan Qing managed to catch up to Chu Feng. However, when he arrived at the location where Chu Feng should be at, his expression changed. That was because right before he arrived, he had clearly sensed Chu Feng's aura. Yet, when he arrived, Chu Feng was nowhere to be seen. He was unable to even detect Chu Feng's aura.
"Fuck, could it be that I've been played for a fool?" At this moment, Yuan Qing entered a violent rage. Heedless of the consequences, he began to expand his spirit power and frantically search for Chu Feng.
"Buzz." Suddenly, the surrounding color of the sky began to change. Turning his head to look, Yuan Qing discovered that an enormous spirit formation was closing in on him from all sides. In the end, it trapped him fully within it.
"Humph, insignificant talent." Seeing this scene, Yuan Qing snorted coldly. He raised his hand into a fist and violently smashed his arm. A loud 'bang' echoed as a violent king-level martial power shot out from his arm and onto that spirit formation.
However, even after that king-level martial power turned into a violent ripple that spread throughout the golden spirit formation, there was actually not the slightest damage to the golden spirit formation.
"How is this possible? This spirit formation is actually this tough?" At this moment, Yuan Qing's expression changed; he began to frown.
He was a world spiritist himself, and possessed strong spirit energy. Before he used his martial power to attack, he had first sensed the toughness of the spirit formation and determined that his attack was enough to shatter it.
However, to his great surprise, he was mistaken. What he sensed was actually wrong, and this spirit formation was much tougher than he expected. Not to mention the attack he had used earlier, it was likely that it would be very difficult for him to break the spirit formation apart even if he used his strongest attack.
"Zzzzzzz."
Right at this moment, the sound of lightning was suddenly heard from behind Yuan Qing. Turning his head to look, Yuan Qing's expression made a huge change. He saw that there were many thick bolts of lightning interweaving with one another, swaying left and right like a divine dragon as they approached him.
Furthermore, on the other side of the lightning dragon was a figure. It was a person wearing a black gown and a mask. His body was covered with lightning armor, and on his back was a pair of lightning wings.
This person's disguise was done excessively well. It was simply impossible to determine his appearance. From afar, he seemed like an embodiment of lightning. However, what could not be denied was that this person's aura was extremely powerful. Although both Yuan Qing and he were rank three Martial Kings, the sensation of his aura was enough to crush Yuan Qing's completely.
"Wuuwaa."
At this moment, Yuan Qing wanted to dodge the incoming lightning dragon. However, he did not have the chance to do so at all. The lightning dragon turned into numerous lightning serpents and, like ropes, they completely covered him from all directions.
At the same time, layers upon layers of oppressive might entered into his body from the lightning serpents that bound him. The power of the lightning struck his body numb and paralyzed. Even though he was a cultivator with a rank three Martial King cultivation, he was unable to use it at all, like a cripple.
However, right at this moment, a scene that was unimaginable to Yuan Qing occurred. The lightning serpents turned into tentacles, and stripped his clothes away from his body. In no time at all, they stripped him completely naked, turning him into a naked man bound by lightning serpents.
"Buzz." However, what brought about the most worry to Yuan Qing was that the embodiment of lightning that stood in the distance was actually holding a lightning whip in his hand.
Flustered, Yuan Qing spoke out. "Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?"
"Paa." To his surprise, not only did that man ignore him, he even waved his arm and smashed the lightning whip onto his face.
"Eeehhhaaa~~~" As the lightning whip passed through his face, half of Yuan Qing's cheek was lacerated. Blood splattered out from the wound as half of his facial bones were broken to pieces. This sort of pain caused Yuan Qing to immediately start screaming non-stop.
"Fuck, you actually dare to hit me for real? Do you know who I am? I am a core disciple of the Cyanwood Mountain! For you to hit me, the Cyanwood Mountain will not let you get away with it!" After screaming in pain, Yuan Qing began to rain curses upon the embodiment of lightning.
However, to his great surprise, the curses and threats did not scare his opponent at all. Instead, his torture was only beginning. After the first whip, the second whip, the third whip and countless more whips landed onto his body, causing it to be filled with bruises and cuts. "Stop whipping me, stop whipping me. I beg of you, please stop whipping me." With his body covered in blood, and his bones shattered by the whipping, Yuan Qing was finally unable to endure it anymore and began to beg for forgiveness.
The whip was truly too monstrous. Not only did it give Yuan Qing physical pain, it was actually able to enter deep into his bones, and even his mind. The whipping was like countless blood-sucking bugs eating his entire body and even his mind. This sort of sensation was truly unbearable.
Unfortunately for him, no matter how much he begged, the whipping did not stop. Instead, it only became fiercer and fiercer. Only when Yuan Qing lost consciousness did the whipping stop.
When Yuan Qing fainted, the lightning serpents that bound him also began to dissipate. At this moment, that embodiment of lightning finally displayed his appearance. Surprisingly, this person who violently whipped Yuan Qing was actually Chu Feng.
Chu Feng removed the mask that covered his face, as well as the black gown that he had worn to conceal himself. He looked at Yuan Qing, who had long since become unrecognizable, and displayed a cold smile. He said, "This is a small lesson for you. As for the true punishment, it will be coming later."
After finishing those words, Chu Feng fed Yuan Qing a medicinal pellet, helped him recoover his injuries, and put his clothes back on him.
The current Yuan Qing appeared to be exactly the same as before he had entered the spirit formation. One was simply unable to see that there were any injuries on him at all; he did not appear to be someone who had just been tortured at all.
After he finished doing all this, Chu Feng suddenly took out a bag, placed Yuan Qing into that bag and carried the bag on his shoulder. Only then did Chu Feng wave his sleeve and remove the spirit formation.
After removing the spirit formation, Chu Feng inspected his surrounding. When he discovered that there was no one in his surroundings, he started to move. Carrying the large sack that contained Yuan Qing, he proceeded to the depths of the stone forest. No one knew what he was planning to do.

Chapter 1121 – Discovering the Flags
At this moment, Chu Feng was carrying the sack with Yuan Qing in it and rapidly flying toward the deepest region of the stone forest to find Bai Ruochen.
As Chu Feng had promised the girl that he would help her obtain a General Flag, he was determined to keep his promise. However, Chu Feng's eyes suddenly shone, and he abruptly stopped.
At this moment, Chu Feng's gaze was fixed upon a fifty meter-tall mountain-like stone. Using his Heaven's Eyes to inspect it carefully, Chu Feng became more and more emotional. In the end, his eyes started to shine with light, and an indescribable happiness appeared on his face.
"Although I thought that I would be able to obtain the Commander Flag, I never thought that I would be able to have a chance encounter with it here." At the moment, Chu Feng was truly overjoyed and extremely emotional.
Chu Feng had surprisingly discovered that the spirit formation on this enormous stone was very special, and a very extraordinary energy was leaking from within it. That sort of sensation was something that he had never felt from any other stone.
Before they had come to this forest of stone, the Ascension Sect's sectmaster, for the purpose of assisting them in obtaining the Commander Flag or General Flags, had told Chu Feng and the others what was different about stones that contained flags.
Although what the Ascension Sect's sectmaster told them was extremely vague, and it was up to the individual to determine how much of the difference they could sense, Chu Feng was certain that not only did this stone before him contain a flag, it was also the most precious Commander Flag.
After determining that it was the Commander Flag, Chu Feng did not hurry to create a spirit formation to remove the spirit formation on the stone, and instead created a concealing spirit formation around it, causing the stone to appear to be the same as other stones. After that, Chu Feng left this place.
As for why he left, it was naturally to find Bai Ruochen.
After Chu Feng discovered the Commander Flag, he no longer had any interest in any of the other stones. Thus, on his way to find Bai Ruochen, Chu Feng did not bother to inspect any other stones. This led to an increase in Chu Feng's speed.
In this sort of circumstance, Chu Feng arrived at the depths of the stone forest in no time. There were a lot of people in the depths of the stone forest. Although it could not be considered to be a vast crowd, one could see people placing spirit formation techniques to break apart the seals on the stones all over.
However, because Bai Ruochen carried Chu Feng's tracking talisman with her, Chu Feng was able to determine her position even with all these people around him. However, after Chu Feng arrived beside Bai Ruochen, he discovered three familiar faces near her.
They were Wang Yan, Jiang Hao and Huang Juan. However, the three of them were not conversing with one another. Instead, they were carefully inspecting twenty stones.
At the same time the three of them were inspecting those twenty stones, there were many people around them that looked at those twenty stones with drooling faces.
However, as if they feared the existences of Wang Yan, Jiang Hao and Huang Juan, those people only dared to watch from afar, and did not approach them.
"Ruochen." Chu Feng suddenly shouted, breaking the serenity of this place and causing practically everyone to cast their gaze at him.
When they saw Chu Feng, everyone displayed a shocked expression. When they heard how intimate Chu Feng greeted Bai Ruochen, the crowd was shocked.
At this moment, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao subconsciously displayed expressions of displeasure. However, the two of them did not bother with Chu Feng, and instead continued to inspect the twenty giant stones. It was as if the twenty stones were even more attractive than Bai Ruochen.
"Can't you be more uniform in the way that you address me?" When she saw Chu Feng, Bai Ruochen frowned. During the time Chu Feng had gotten to know Bai Ruochen, his address for her had already changed from Miss Bai to junior sister Bai and now to Ruochen. It had changed three times now, and become more and more intimate and dubious every time. However, while Bai Ruochen was feeling uncomfortable because of that, she did not oppose it greatly.
"Heh, I only felt that our relationship is getting closer, and thus called you out by your name subconsciously. That being said, it's only a way to address you. There's no need for you to mind it this greatly, no?" said Chu Feng with a beaming smile.
"Do whatever you want. Oh, that's right, what is it that you're carrying on your back?" Bai Ruochen cast her gaze to the large sack on Chu Feng's back.
This sack was naturally the one that contained Yuan Qing. However, this sack had also gone through a special treatment that caused it to not show the shape of the thing inside, and also blocked spirit power from inspecting what was inside.
Looking from the surface, one could only tell that Chu Feng was carrying a large sack. However, they would not be able to know what was in the bag. As people of their cultivation all possessed cosmos bags to carry their items around with them, Chu Feng carrying around a sack behind him caused others to become confused.
"It's nothing more than some trash." Chu Feng laughed mischievously. Then, he casually turned his gaze to the twenty stones and asked. "What's wrong, do you have no idea what to do with them?"
"You can tell?" Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen's expression changed slightly; she displayed a slightly surprised expression while also displaying an 'as expected' expression.
"Of course. Special spirit formations were placed on these twenty stones. Furthermore, the spirit formations on them could confuse one's sensitivity."
"To speak in simple terms, these twenty stones will give a sensation of flags being hidden inside. However, the spirit formations on them are extremely powerful. If one wanted to open them, one would have to spend a very long time doing so."
"If the selection is right, then one's harvest will be enormous. However, if the selection is wrong, one might miss a great opportunity and lose the timing to find another flag. Thus, all of you are here hesitating as to which stone to choose to open." Chu Feng sent a voice transmission to Bai Ruochen. Those words were naturally not something that he could say openly. After all, it was not good for others to hear them.
"What you said is very true. Actually, it is not only you and I who saw the peculiarity of these twenty stones, many others have also seen it. However, earlier Wang Yan and Jiang Hao threatened the others. Thus, it ended up with the twenty stones' selection being given to the four of us."
"Of course, if you wanted to open the stones, they would have no choice but to step aside. If they refused, I believe they would not be able to stop you anyways."
"However, what I'm worried about is not the rights to these twenty stones, but instead whether all of them might be fake. Even if there are flags among them, I am worried about what to do if I choose a wrong stone."
"After all, the spirit formations on the stones are truly too powerful. If I wanted to open one, it would require at least a couple days. If I was to find that there was nothing in the stone after opening one, then it would truly be a wasted effort. After all, many things might happen in several days' worth of time." At this moment, Bai Ruochen seemed to truly not know what to do.
"Rest assured, of these twenty stones, three contain flags," said Chu Feng.
"Truly?" Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen was immediately overjoyed. She hurriedly asked. "In that case, do you know which three stones might they be?"
"Of course, that one is one…" As Chu Feng said those words, he began to lift his arm. However, right at this moment, Chu Feng's gaze flashed, and he stopped his movement.

Chapter 1122 – Giving Bai Ruochen Pointers
Originally, Chu Feng wanted to point out a flag-containing stone to Bai Ruochen. However, right at this moment, he was surprised to discover that Huang Juan was closely staring at the stone that he was planning to indicate to Bai Ruochen.
Furthermore, Huang Juan was not only staring at it, she was also using a special method to examine that stone. It was obvious that she had taken note of that stone.
"Woosh." Suddenly, Huang Juan released a boundless spirit formation technique. Like serpents, her spirit formation revolved around the stone and sealed it. At the same time, she sat down cross-legged and began to set up a spirit formation to break apart the seal on the stone.
Seeing Huang Juan's actions, Wang Yan spoke. "Huang Juan, for you to act this hurriedly, be careful, you might've miscalculated."
"That's right. Only the four of us have a say in selecting the twenty stones here, no one is going to try to steal your portions." Jiang Hao added. At the same time he spoke those words, he cast a glance at Chu Feng.
The hidden meaning behind his words was very obvious. These twenty stones were something that only the four of them could touch. Although Chu Feng had also come in here, he was not allowed to touch the stones.
"Even though it's four people, it's still a race against time. No one knows how many General Flags might be here, or if there's a Commander Flag here at all." Huang Juan cast a beautiful glance at Wang Yan and Jiang Hao. After that, she did not bother with them anymore. With a slight smile, she began to wholeheartedly focus on removing the seal.
"This Huang Juan seems to have some ability." At this moment, Chu Feng sent a voice transmission to Bai Ruochen.
"Could it be that the stone that she chose possesses a flag?" asked Bai Ruochen.
"Mn, it's a General Flag. However, the seal on the one that she chose is relatively hard to remove. You should go and remove the seal on the smallest one over there. It should be a bit easier to remove." This time around, Chu Feng did not use his hand to point toward the stone and instead only cast his gaze toward it.
Following Chu Feng's gaze, Bai Ruochen saw the stone that he spoke of. It was indeed the smallest stone within the twenty stones. Furthermore, from its appearance, this stone should be the least likely candidate for having flags hidden within it among the twenty stones.
However, Bai Ruochen was no ordinary character either. Not only did she possess extraordinary insight herself, she also believed in Chu Feng's vision. Thus, she nodded and said to Chu Feng. "Then, which one are you going to choose?"
"What I want is not here." Chu Feng lightly smiled and said, "extend your hand, I'll teach you a spirit formation that will allow you to remove the seal on the stone sooner."
"Oh?" Hearing those words, Bai Ruochen was startled. She knew that Chu Feng's target was most definitely the Commander Flag; and since Chu Feng said those words, it meant that what was here would be three General Flags and no Commander Flag. At the same time, Bai Ruochen extended her fair and delicate hand over to Chu Feng.
With her hand before her, Chu Feng did not hesitate. He grabbed onto Bai Ruochen's hand with his own and extended a finger with his other hand; he began to draw a pattern on Bai Ruochen's palm. While the pattern did not remain on her palm, it went through her palm and entered her mind.
At this moment, even Bai Ruochen started to frown. That was because she felt a bit confused; the spirit formation given to her by Chu Feng appeared to be somewhat unusual, and was different from the the spirit formation techniques that she knew. It could be said that Chu Feng's spirit formation technique undermined the traditional structure of spirit formations.
"This guy is truly deserving to die." At this very moment, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao also noticed the actions between Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen.
From their point of view, Chu Feng's actions were truly deserving of being killed. Not only did he firmly grab onto Bai Ruochen's lily-white hand, he even drew on that exquisite hand with his filthy fingers. This was truly hard for them to tolerate.
However, a matter concerning their honor was of more important than the love between women and men. Their current mission was to quickly obtain a flag, thus they decided to not say anything to Chu Feng. After fiercely glancing at Chu Feng, they returned to observe the stones. At the same time, the two of them had already firmly remembered the hatred in their hearts.
"Well then, go on." Finally, Chu Feng's finger and his other hand were removed from Bai Ruochen's exquisite hand.
At this moment, a shocked expression filled Bai Ruochen's beautiful face. When she looked at Chu Feng, her gaze contained a whole new level of respect.
At the beginning, she was a bit doubtful because the spirit formation that Chu Feng was teaching her was really odd. However, she was now no longer skeptical, since she discovered the amazingness of Chu Feng's spirit formation. The seal removing spirit formation given to her by Chu Feng could simply be said to be a perfect match with the sealing spirit formation on the stone, being able to perfectly remove the seal.
"I wish you luck." After saying those words in a very thankful manner, Bai Ruochen's body moved, and she arrived before the stone indicated to her by Chu Feng earlier then began to set up the spirit formation taught to her by Chu Feng.
"Junior sister Bai, you actually choose this stone?" Seeing the scene before him, Wang Yan displayed a face of surprise.
"Junior sister Bai, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but that stone will have the lowest probability to contain a flag among the twenty stones here. It's better that you change to a different stone. Otherwise, it'll be equivalent to wasting your time." At the same time, Jiang Hao directly arrived beside Bai Ruochen and began to advise against her choice of stone.
The two of them were sincere in their advice, because they both truly felt that this stone would have the lowest possibility of containing a flag. As they did not want Bai Ruochen to waste her time, they especially came up to her to advise her against it.
To their surprise, Bai Ruochen completely ignored them and began to wholeheartedly focus on setting up her spirit formation. In this sort of situation, Wang Yan and Jiang Hao would naturally not court another rebuff to themselves. Thus, the two of them left in succession.
Actually, when Huang Juan found out that Bai Ruochen had chosen the smallest stone, even she had cast her gaze over to her. When she saw that Bai Ruochen was really setting up a spirit formation to remove the seal on the smallest stone, Huang Juan also displayed a confused and surprised expression.
However, as it was, after all, something that was of no concern to her, she who disliked Bai Ruochen would naturally not go and advise her. Instead, a cold smile appeared on her face as she decided to sit tight and wait for Bai Ruochen's self-humiliation. At the same time, she began to accelerate the speed of her spirit formation; she wanted to make a clear-cut distinction between herself and Bai Ruochen to display her superiority.
"Buzz."
Right at this moment, Bai Ruochen's spirit formation was finished. Light shone all over, and ripples swept out in all directions. Even this region of space began to tremble.
"How could this be? She actually finished setting up a seal removing spirit formation this quickly? Even if this stone is the easiest among the twenty, it shouldn't be this fast. Exactly what sort of spirit formation did this girl set up for it to be this powerful?"
At this moment, the expression on Huang Juan's face, who had originally been planning to wait for Bai Ruochen's self-humiliation, took a huge change. It was not only her, both Wang Yan and Jiang Hao were also displaying expressions of shock.
That was because what Bai Ruochen did was not as simple as finishing her spirit formation. Instead, at this moment, her spirit formation was beginning to break apart the seal on that stone with very rapid speed.
