Chapter 2953 - Chu Feng's Response
Outside the Chu Heavenly Clan's main city, Chu Feng, Chu Xingde and Chu Xingren were still being stopped by the people from the Military Hall.
However, the people gathered there were no longer limited to only Chu Feng, Chu Xingde, Chu Xingren and the people of the Military Hall.
News of his arrival spread very quickly. The news of Chu Feng's return to the Chu Heavenly Clan and then being stopped by people from the Military Hall outside the main city was currently spreading.
At that moment, there were many people currently gathering in the area. Furthermore, over ten thousand people were already gathered behind the people from the Military Hall. Their number was still increasing.
There were even many familiar faces among them.
For example, Chu Lingxi, Chu Ruoshi, Chu Huanyu and Chu Xianshuo were all present.
There was another person present among the crowd that knew of Chu Feng, while Chu Feng did not know of him.
He was also a member of the younger generation. His name was Chu Huai.
Chu Huai and Chu Yue were subordinates of Chu Bore in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. They were in charge of monitoring the situation in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
After returning to the Chu Heavenly Clan, Chu Huai had been staying in the clan and training the entire time. However, he was very concerned about this news of Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, you've actually really become a rank five True Immortal now," Chu Huai was secretly examining Chu Feng. After he felt Chu Feng's aura, he gasped with endless admiration.
When he had first encountered Chu Feng in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, he was already a rank four True Immortal. At that time, Chu Feng was still a mere Martial Ancestor.
However, Chu Feng was already a rank five True Immortal. Yet he… was still only a rank four True Immortal.
Back then, he was an existence akin to a god overlooking all the beings in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
However, at present, even though he was standing in the Chu Heavenly Clan's territory, he felt as if he were looking up at Chu Feng.
"Geniuses are truly the most unreasonable beings in the world of martial cultivation," After gasping in admiration, Chu Huai revealed a smile on his face.
He felt happiness for Chu Feng.
"Genius? That Chu Feng is nothing but exiled trash," Chu Huai's lightly spoken words of admiration were heard by a fellow clansman beside him. That clansman immediately started sneering at him.
That person was one of Chu Huanyu's footmen that was present outside the Ghost Sect Hall that day.
"That's right, he's nothing more than exiled trash. Did he really think he would be able to return to the clan just because Chu Xuanzhengfa was shielding him? He is truly delusional."
"Look at him, he's stunned now, no? He's actually blocked outside the main city. Serves him right!"
Following that person, more Chu Heavenly Clansmen started to mock Chu Feng. They were mocking him very loudly. They were not doing this because they wanted Chu Feng to hear their mockery of him. Instead, they were doing this because they wanted Chu Huanyu to hear their mockery of Chu Feng. After all, they were all saying such things to flatter Chu Huanyu.
That said, while they were only mocking Chu Feng to flatter Chu Huanyu, there were indeed many people inside the Chu Heavenly Clan that weren't fond of Chu Feng, many people that did not wish for his return to the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Thus, at that moment, more and more people started to insult Chu Feng.
"Shut up!"
Right at that moment, a furious shout sounded from the direction of the main city.
When that furious shout was heard, the crowd immediately closed their mouths. The reason for that was because that furious shout came from Chu Xuanzhengfa.
Chu Xuanzhengfa was flying over with an army of people from the Law Enforcement Hall.
The people that saw them immediately moved aside. They were truly imposing.
In the end, Chu Xuanzhengfa and the Law Enforcement Hall army arrived behind the group of people from the Military Hall.
"Move aside," Chu Xuanzhengfa said to the Military Hall's Chu Moqiong. His tone was very cold. He simply did not put that Chu Moqiong in his eyes at all.
"Lord Zhengfa, it is not that I do not wish to comply with your command, but…" As Chu Moqiong spoke, he raised the Utmost Exalted Elder's title plate. He was planning to use that title plate to suppress Chu Xuanzhengfa.
However, who would've expected for Chu Xuanzhengfa to not even bother to take a glance at that title plate. He merely said coldly, "Scram."
He said that word very loudly. Practically everyone present heard it.
At that moment, Chu Moqiong's expression turned extremely ugly. He was even clenching his fists tightly. If one were standing close to him, one would be able to hear the creaking sound of his fists.
From this, one could imagine how furious Chu Moqiong was.
"What's this? You want to fight?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked.
"I wouldn't dare, this lowly one wouldn't dare," Right after Chu Xuanzhengfa spoke, Chu Moqiong hurriedly lowered his head and began to apologize.
He knew very well what sort of person Chu Xuanzhengfa was. Thus, he knew that no matter how displeased he felt, he could not go against him.
Thus, even though Chu Moqiong was holding a title plate from an Utmost Exalted Elder, he still had no choice but to lead his men from the Military Hall and move aside.
"Chu Feng, I've caused you grief. Unfortunately, there are rules in our clan," Chu Xuanzhengfa said. His tone was extremely remorseful.
After all, it was him who had urged Chu Feng to return. However, such a thing happened right after Chu Feng returned. Because of this, he would naturally feel guilty.
That said, Chu Feng knew very well that everything Chu Xuanzhengfa did was for his sake. Thus, he did not blame Chu Xuanzhengfa in the slightest. On the contrary, Chu Feng also felt a great amount of guilt toward Chu Xuanzhengfa.
"Senior, if the Chu Heavenly Clan is unwilling to let me return, then let's forget about it. I, Chu Feng… do not necessarily have to return to the Chu Heavenly Clan. I would instead be more free should I not be part of the Chu Heavenly Clan," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, what the hell are you saying?! Are you still looking down on our Chu Heavenly Clan?!"
"What audacity! Someone like you should forever remain exiled!"
Once Chu Feng said those words, he immediately raised resentment from the Chu Heavenly Clan's crowd.
At that moment, voices lashing out at Chu Feng came like a torrential rain.
"All of you, shut up! Since when are you all qualified to speak when our Law Enforcement Hall is handling things?!"
"If anyone dares to utter another word, they shall be punished according to our clan's laws!" Chu Xuanzhengfa shouted angrily.
His furious shout caused space to tremble, and the hearts of many of the people present to tense up.
After all, Chu Xuanzhengfa was an Exalted-level expert. Although Chu Xuanzhengfa was most definitely not the only Exalted-level expert in the Chu Heavenly Clan, he was the only Exalted-level expert currently present.
Once Chu Xuanzhengfa said those words, all the people that were not fond of Chu Feng immediately shut their mouths.
They were able to tell that Chu Xuanzhengfa truly thought highly of Chu Feng, that he truly wanted to support Chu Feng.
'Humph, no matter how highly you think of Chu Feng, it'll still be useless. You are but the Law Enforcement Hall's Vice Hall Master. The one that refuses to have Chu Feng return to our clan right now is our Utmost Exalted Elder. How exactly are you going to keep that Chu Feng here?' Displeased, the crowd could only curse at Chu Xuanzhengfa in their hearts.
"Chu Feng, Lord Utmost Exalted Elder has said that you can return to our clan. However… you will have to undertake a test," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"What? Lord Utmost Exalted Elder actually allowed Chu Feng to return to our clan?!"
Once Chu Xuanzhengfa said those words, he immediately caused the people who did not wish for Chu Feng to return to the Chu Heavenly Clan to feel their hearts tighten.
"What sort of test?" Chu Feng asked.
"You would have to climb the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps, that test is too simple, no?"
Hearing those words, those Chu Heavenly Clansmen were even more astonished. At the same time, they felt even more displeased.
The reason for that was because practically all of them were capable of ascending the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps. In fact, ascending the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps was a very simple task.
However, right at that moment, Chu Xuanzhengfa added, "You must ascend to the eighth step in order to pass."
"This…"
At that moment, those people who hoped for Chu Feng to return to the Chu Heavenly Clan were stunned.
Eighth step? This was simply too difficult. In the entire Chu Heavenly Clan's history, only their Old Ancestor had managed to ascend to the eighth step.
While Chu Huai and the others were worried, Chu huanyu and the others were overjoyed.
'Chu Feng, what are you going to do now?' Chu Huanyu sneered in his heart.
However, at the moment when everyone felt that Chu Feng would be stumped, Chu Feng said expressionlessly, "That's fine."
Once Chu Feng said those words, the crowd present all revealed an astonished expression. Even Chu Lingxi, the girl who had always remained unwavering, revealed an astonished expression in her beautiful eyes.
Chu Feng actually accepted it so easily. Did Chu Feng not know how difficult it was to ascend to the eighth step, or was he truly confident in being able to ascend to the eighth step?

Chapter 2954 - Exceeding The Old Ancestor
After Chu Feng accepted the conditions, Chu Xuanzhengfa waved his hand, and several people from the Law Enforcement Hall immediately understood his intention and left.
Not long afterward, those several people returned. When they returned, they were carrying an object suspended in midair.
That object was a flight of steps made of glass. There was a total of nine steps.
Chu Feng had seen that flight of steps before. Back in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm's Heavenly Road, Chu Feng's father had tested his potential for martial cultivation using precisely that flight of steps.
As for that flight of steps, it was called the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
"Chu Feng, this flight of steps is called the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps. It is something that all of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations will have to ascend when they reach twenty years of age."
"This Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps mainly tests the Heavenly Bloodline possessor's perseverance. The reason for that is because a Heavenly Bloodline possessor's perseverance is critical to their cultivation."
"After all, the path of martial cultivation is a path of perseverance. This is especially true for us, possessors of Heavenly Bloodlines. We need to train in the Self-Punishing Mysterious Technique. With each breakthrough in cultivation, we will receive the tribulation of Heavenly Lightning. While one's body's composition is one aspect to whether or not one will be able to withstand the Heavenly Lightning's Tribulation, one's willpower, and one's perseverance, is the most important."
"As for this Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps, it will resonate with your Heavenly Lightning Bloodline with each step that you ascend. The pain that you receive will also increase with each step."
"That pain will affect your movement. It will be very easy to retreat. However, to continue ascending the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps will be very difficult."
"The higher you can climb, the greater your perseverance will be. In turn, your future accomplishments might be even higher too."
"In a nutshell, the higher one can ascend, the greater one's talent will be."
"However, today, you must ascend to the eighth step in order to pass the test."
Chu Xuanzhengfa explained the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps to Chu Feng in detail.
However, when Chu Xuanzhengfa said the final sentence, an ashamed expression appeared on his face.
He knew very well that ascending to the eighth step was too excessive of a demand.
However, to everyone's surprise, Chu Feng only answered with "Okay."
After agreeing to it, Chu Feng began to walk toward the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
This scene shocked many of the people present. Did Chu Feng not understand what Chu Xuanzhengfa said, or was he truly unafraid?
"Chu Feng, do you really think you can ascend to the eighth step?" Right at that moment, a mocking question sounded from the crowd.
Chu Xuanzhengfa had already ordered the crowd to stop talking.
Yet that person still dared to talk. Furthermore, he was mocking Chu Feng. The reason why that person dared to do so was because he was Chu Huanyu.
As one of the Chu Heavenly Clan's most talented geniuses right now, Chu Huanyu was not afraid of bringing trouble upon himself.
The reason for that was because he knew he was the Chu Heavenly Clan's future. Regardless of how enormous of a scene he might make, the Chu Heavenly Clan would not really make things difficult for him. On the contrary, they would only protect him.
That was the reason why he was so confident.
Once Chu Huanyu said those words, many of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations felt very refreshed. What Chu Huanyu said was actually also what they wanted to say.
Faced with the crowd's gazes, Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged. He looked to Chu Huanyu and said, "You must've never climbed to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' eighth step before, right?"
Hearing those words, Chu Huanyu revealed an ugly expression. He had indeed never ascended to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' eighth step before. Not to mention the eighth step, he had never even managed to ascend to the seventh step. Chu Feng's words seemed to have struck his sore spot.
"Just because you are incapable of ascending to the eighth step does not mean that I, Chu Feng, am incapable of ascending to the eighth step too," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, you are truly ignorant! In the history of our Chu Heavenly Clan, there has only been a single person that managed to ascend to the eighth step! That person is our Chu Heavenly Clan's Old Ancestor!"
"Do you really think that you can ascend to the eighth step?! Do you really think that you're equal to our Old Ancestor?!" Chu Huanyu burst forth in anger, and started to loudly lash out at Chu Feng.
Once he said those words, many of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations started to nod to indicate their approval of Chu Huanyu's claims. At the same time, they began to cast gazes of contempt at Chu Feng.
To compare oneself against their Chu Heavenly Clan's Old Ancestor was most definitely overestimating one's capabilities, most definitely delusional.
Hearing what Chu Huanyu said, Chu Feng instead smiled faintly. He said, "The way I see it, the ignorant one is you."
"What did you say?! You, some mere trash that has been exiled, dare call me ignorant?!" Chu Huanyu's expression grew even angrier.
He was truly unable to understand how Chu Feng, some exiled trash, would have the courage to challenge him before all these people.
"Earlier, you said that the eighth step of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Step has only ever been reached by Old Ancestor himself. However, I can tell you this, there have been two other people who managed to ascend to the eighth step," Chu Feng said.
"What? There have been two other people that managed to ascend to the eighth step?"
"Who are they? How come I've never heard of them before?"
Once Chu Feng said those words, the people of the younger generation present were immediately astonished. They had truly never heard of such a thing before.
Even Chu Huanyu was stunned. The reason for that was because… not even he had heard of this before.
"It's fine if you all do not know about this. I, Chu Feng, can tell you all who they are. Those two people were Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan."
"They are, respectively, my grandfather and my father," Chu Feng said.
"Hahaha. You are truly boasting too excessively, no?"
"Truly ridiculous! I've grown up in the Chu Heavenly Clan, how come I've never heard of this matter?"
"That's right. I've never heard about this matter either. Chu Feng, you are truly capable of sticking gold on your face."
Once Chu Feng said those words, he immediately caused many people of the younger generation to laugh at and lash out at him. Furthermore, they were very serious as they lashed out at Chu Feng. After all, they had truly never heard of this matter before.
Right at that moment, Chu Xuanzhengfa shouted, "All of you, shut up!" Then, he said, "What Chu Feng says is true."
"Heavens! It's actually real?! Chu Feng's grandfather and father managed to ascend to the eighth step of the Heavenly Lightning Steps?!"
"Heavens! Wouldn't that mean that they managed to reach the same height as our Old Ancestor?!"
Once Chu Xuanzhengfa said those words, many people of the younger generation present revealed astonished expressions.
They had truly never heard of this matter before. They had always felt that their Chu Heavenly Clan's Old Ancestor was the only one who had ever managed to reach the eighth step. And now, they found out that Chu Feng's father and grandfather had also managed to reach the eighth step. With this, how could they not be astonished?
"Actually, in the history of our Chu Heavenly Clan, only Old Ancestor himself managed to ascend to the eighth step," Chu Xuanzhengfa added.
"What? Wasn't it said just earlier that Chu Feng's grandfather and father also managed to reach the eighth step? Why would Old Ancestor be the only one then?"
"What's going on? Could it be that Chu Feng's grandfather and father managed to ascend to the eighth step, but were unable to stand firm? Or could it be that they only managed to reach the eighth step with one foot, and were unable to ascend completely? Thus, strictly speaking, they did not succeed?"
"That's right, that must be the case. Chu Feng's grandfather and father definitely did not manage to successfully reach the eighth step."
When thinking of these possibilities, those people of the younger generation that disliked Chu Feng started to feel much more relieved. Furthermore, they also began to look to Chu Feng with mocking expressions in their eyes again.
They were all thinking in their hearts, 'The hell are you boasting about when they failed to successfully ascend to the eighth step? Although ascending to the seventh step is very powerful, it is two completely different things when compared to ascending the eighth step.'
The people of the younger generation that did not know who Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan were were practically certain that they did not manage to successfully ascend to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' eighth step.
At the moment when they were verifying their own guesses in their hearts, Chu Xuanzhengfa looked to those younger generations and spoke again in a very loud and clear manner, "Indeed, Chu Feng's grandfather and father are not on the list of people that reached Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' eighth step. The reason for that is because…"
"... Chu Feng's grandfather and father ultimately ascended to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step."
"Boom~~~"
Chu Xuanzhengfa's words came like a sudden clap of thunder. It shook all of the people of the younger generation present.
They were all stunned, and stood there with dumbfounded expressions. They simply did not dare to believe what they'd just heard.
The Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step?
Would this mean….
Chu Feng's grandfather and father had both surpassed their Chu Heavenly Clan's Old Ancestor?!!

Chapter 2955 - With A Lion For A Father, The Son Cannot Be A Dog
At that moment, the people of the younger generation began to turn their gazes toward the older generations present.
There were those that started to openly and quietly question their elders, and those that started to secretly send voice transmissions to question their elders.
The reason for that was because they were skeptical of what Chu Xuanzhengfa had said.
After all, the Chu Heavenly Clan's Old Ancestor, Chu Yetianhong, possessed an irreplaceable status in their hearts. He was the strongest person to have ever emerged from their Chu Heavenly Clan's throughout its history.
But Chu Xuanzhengfa was actually declaring that Chu Feng's grandfather and father both possessed greater talent than Chu Yetianhong.
This was no longer a question of whether or not they could accept it. Instead, it was simply something that they were incapable of believing.
Precisely because of that, the astonishment on their faces grew even stronger after they inquired of their elders.
The reason for that was because all of their inquiries ended up confirming Chu Xuanzhengfa's claims.
Chu Xuanzhengfa did not lie. Chu Xuanyuan and Chu Hanxian had indeed both ascended to the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step.
"Ssss~~~"
At that moment, the expressions with which the crowd looked to Chu Feng became increasingly complicated.
As the saying goes, with a lion for a father, the son cannot be a dog. As Chu Hanxian's grandson and Chu Xuanyuan's son, Chu Feng… might really end up being able to ascend to the eighth step.
"Humph, so what if your father and grandfather have both managed to ascend to the ninth step?"
"Their accomplishments belong to them, not you," Chu Huanyu said to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng did not refute Chu Huanyu. Instead, he smiled faintly and left the words, "You just have to make sure to pay close attention."
After he finished saying those words, Chu Feng walked up to the first step of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps before the crowd.
"Step~~~"
"Roar~~~"
At the moment when Chu Feng's foot stepped onto the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps, that glass-like flight of steps actually let out a roar. The next moment, lightning began to appear on the flight of steps. A bolt of lightning flowed into Chu Feng's soles, entered Chu Feng's body and connected with his Heavenly Lightning Bloodline.
At that moment, Chu Feng was completely enveloped by lightning.
As the lightning entered his body, intense pain also filled Chu Feng's entire body. Chu Feng felt as if he had been numbed.
He was being struck and tormented by lightning from inside his body.
However, this sort of pain was tolerable for Chu Feng. After all, this was not the first time Chu Feng had climbed the Heavenly Lightning Steps.
Perhaps because he had already experienced the Heavenly Lightning Steps before, or perhaps because Chu Feng had become much stronger than before, he actually felt that the torment from the lightning this time around was much weaker than last time.
With the situation being like this, Chu Feng took two more steps. In the blink of an eye, he had ascended to the third step.
When Chu Feng ascended to the third step, it was no longer a single lightning bolt that entered his body. Instead, three bolts of lightning entered his body.
The pain from these three lightning bolts was simply not something that a single lightning bolt could compare to. However, Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged.
"That guy is actually this powerful?!"
Seeing that Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged after ascending to the third step, those people of the younger generation that were not fond of Chu Feng started to frown. As for those in support of Chu Feng, they were feeling delighted.
While the great majority of people in the Chu Heavenly Clan were capable of ascending to the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' third step, that was also the limit for the majority of them.
However, Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged after arriving on the third step regardless of how much lightning covered his body. This was sufficient to prove that Chu Feng's perseverance was most definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.
At that moment, those Chu Heavenly Clansmen who were not fond of Chu Feng started to worry.
However, Chu Huanyu was not too nervous. He knew very well that Chu Feng was a talented individual, and that the third step was simply insignificant to geniuses. Only the sixth step would be an actual trial.
Chu Feng had no idea what the crowd was thinking. He only continued to ascend the flight of steps.
"Step~~~"
"Step~~~"
"Step~~~"
Chu Feng took three successive steps. He had arrived on the sixth step.
"This bastard!"
At that moment, even Chu Huanyu started to frown.
The Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' sixth step had been his ultimate performance. When he ascended to the sixth step back then, he was tottering, and possessed no strength to take another step.
However, the current Chu Feng was only slightly pale. However, that was all the effect the sixth step had on him.
Apart from being slightly pale, there was not even a bead of sweat on Chu Feng's face. This meant that the torment from the Heavenly Lightning Steps' sixth step did not pose much of a threat to Chu Feng.
"Amazing!"
"Lord Vice Hall Master, it would appear that Chu Feng truly shows promise in being able to ascend to the eighth step."
At that moment, Chu Xingde and Chu Xingren were extremely excited.
Chu Xuanzhengfa waved his hand at them to indicate to the two of them to quiet down.
Although Chu Xuanzhengfa had prohibited others from speaking, he too had an excited expression on his face.
He was more excited than anyone else. He wanted Chu Feng to ascend to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' eighth step more than anyone else.
Because of this, he was paying even greater attention to it all. He did not even want others to speak out of fear of affecting Chu Feng.

Chapter 2956 - Authentication
Right at that moment, Chu Feng took another step onto the seventh step.
When Chu Feng arrived on the seventh step of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps, the astonished sounds of the crowd could be heard nonstop. It was not only the people of the younger generation that were astonished; even those from the older generation were voicing out their astonishment.
One must know that this was the Chu Heavenly Clan, and the people there were all people of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
They were the most knowledgeable and most noble group of people in the entire Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm.
However, upon seeing Chu Feng ascending to the seventh step, they were truly incapable of remaining calm.
The reason for that was because the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' seventh step was the place that their current Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief had ascended to.
In other words, Chu Feng's talent was, at the very least, comparable to their Clan Chief's.
"Chu Feng, I've truly underestimated you."
At that moment, Chu Lingxi's expression had also changed. The seventh step was something that not even she had managed to reach.
Should one be able to ascend to the seventh step, one would be a dragon among men, a dragon among all Chu Heavenly Clansmen.
However, this was not Chu Feng's target. Chu Feng lifted his foot once again. He was planning to ascend to the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' eighth step.
When Chu Feng made this motion, no one was capable of taking their eyes off him. In fact, they even held their breath.
The eighth step was something that only their Chu Heavenly Clan's Old Ancestor managed to reach. Would Chu Feng… really be capable of reaching it?
"Step~~~"
Success. Chu Feng successfully placed one foot on the eighth step. He had beaten the current Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief's record, and the records of the great majority of people in the Chu Heavenly Clan's history.
After all, only three individuals had managed to ascend to the eighth step in the Chu Heavenly Clan's entire history.
They were Chu Feng's grandfather, Chu Hanxian.
Chu Feng's father, Chu Xuanyuan.
And the Chu Heavenly Clan's Old Ancestor, Chu Yetianhong.
Success. Chu Feng really managed to succeed in that impossible feat.
At that moment, the eyes of the crowd present were all heated up. In fact, deep within the Chu Heavenly Clan's main city, an old man's expression had turned complicated.
That old man was none other than the current second strongest expert in the Chu Heavenly Clan, Chu Hanpeng.
"It would appear that you are indeed Chu Xuanyuan's son."
After saying those words, Chu Hanpeng turned around and planned to leave.
"Mn?" However, once he turned around, he immediately noticed something, and turned his eyes back toward Chu Feng. In the next moment, great disbelief appeared in his deep and profound eyes.
Meanwhile, outside of the main city hall, the Chu Heavenly Clansmen gathered there also burst into a complete uproar.
After Chu Feng ascended to the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' eighth step, he raised his leg again and successfully placed his foot on the ninth step.
"Heavens, he's planning to challenge the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step!"
"Will he be able to accomplish it? Will Chu Feng really be able to reach the ninth step?"
The crowd were all astonished. As for those people of the younger generation that were not fond of Chu Feng, they were completely dumbstruck.
Having reached the eighth step, Chu Feng had already proved that he possessed talent comparable to their Old Ancestor, something that no one in the Chu Heavenly Clan currently possessed.
However, Chu Feng actually wanted to continue, to challenge the ninth step. If he were to succeed, it would truly be astonishing.
Not to mention returning to their Chu Heavenly Clan, their Chu Heavenly Clan would definitely put great emphasis into nurturing Chu Feng. Likely, he would receive greater emphasis than even geniuses like Chu Ruoshi, Chu Lingxi, Chu Huanyu and Chu Haoyan.
Right at that moment, Chu Feng's other foot left the eighth step. In the end, his other foot landed firmly to the ninth step.
Chu Feng was firmly standing on the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step.
At that moment, the crowd went absolutely quiet. Not to mention the people of the younger generation, even the elders present were dumbfounded. All those years, ever since Chu Xuanyuan, no one else had managed to ascend to the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step.
"It would appear that, with a lion for a father, the son is truly not a dog."
At that moment, there were people of the older generation that were unable to keep themselves from praising Chu Feng in their hearts.
"There's something wrong with the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps, there's most definitely something wrong with the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps! How could he possibly ascend to the ninth step of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps?!"
A shout was suddenly heard at that moment.
It was Chu Huanyu.
Chu Huanyu's sudden shout at that moment of absolute silence resembled a sudden clap of thunder emerging in a clear sky. He immediately caught the attention of the crowd.
"Chu Huanyu, what is the meaning of your words?! Are you implying that our Law Enforcement Hall is engaging in fraud?!" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked in a very displeased manner.
"I am not aiming my words against anyone specific. However, there is most definitely something wrong with the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps."
"I will not bother to dispute with you all either. I, Chu Huanyu, will use my own body to prove to you all that there's something wrong with the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps."
After Chu Huanyu finished saying those words, he immediately moved to act. He was actually walking toward the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
"Step, step, step~~~"
Chu Huanyu's speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived on the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' fourth step. However, at that moment, he started to slow down.
Four lightning bolts were revolving around him, and an expression of pain filled his face.
"Chu Huanyu is actually already somewhat incapable of continuing after reaching the fourth step?"
The crowd were all astonished. Chu Huanyu was a genius of the Chu Heavenly Clan, a genius that had once ascended to the sixth step. His face was actually covered in pain after reaching the fourth step.
Wouldn't this instead prove that that Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps had no issues at all then?!

Chapter 2957 - The Legendary Tenth Step
"Impossible! I, Chu Huanyu, refuse to believe this!!!"
Suddenly, Chu Huanyu let out a furious shout. Then, he took two successive steps and directly arrived on the sixth step of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
However, by the time he arrived at the sixth step, his face was completely withered, and he was sweating profusely. His entire body was shivering. He was no longer capable of taking another step onward.
"Ahhh!!!"
Chu Huanyu let out a roar. It was a roar of unwillingness, a roar of unacceptance. He was feeling extremely unreconciled.
He was unreconciled because he refused to believe that Chu Feng was able to ascend to the ninth step of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps while he, a genius of a generation, someone who was capable of inheriting the Chu Heavenly Clan in the future, was limited to only the sixth step, and unable to even take a step onto the seventh step.
"Puu~~~"
Following his furious roar, Chu Huanyu sprayed out a mouthful of blood. Then, he fell from the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
"Huanyu!"
Seeing this, an elder from the Chu Heavenly Clan immediately rushed to catch him.
At that moment, the old man that caught Chu Huanyu revealed a distressed expression while looking at him.
However, he then turned his gaze to Chu Feng.
Through testing the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps with his own body, Chu Huanyu had proved that the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps was not a phoney. Instead, it was the real thing. It was the same Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps that they'd all climbed before. It was the same Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps that no one could surmount.
However, Chu Feng was actually standing at the top of such a Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps. Not only that, but even though Chu Feng's expression was also covered in pain, even though his body was also trembling slightly, he showed no sign of being unable to withstand the pain and pressure of the ninth step.
"That brat, is he truly a demon-level genius?" Seeing this scene, the old man who had caught Chu Huanyu was unable to contain himself from exclaiming in admiration.
His exclamation of admiration confirmed what everyone was thinking in their hearts.
To be able to ascend to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step and stand firmly on it, was that really something that a human could accomplish?
Likely, even 'demon-level genius' would not be able to describe how frightening Chu Feng was.
"What is Chu Feng thinking about?"
Right at that moment, someone noticed that something seemed amiss with Chu Feng.
Chu Feng had already proved himself by standing on the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step. Not only was he capable of returning to the Chu Heavenly Clan, but he would also receive unprecedented nurture from their Chu Heavenly Clan.
After all, he was someone who had managed to ascend to the ninth step of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
However, not only did Chu Feng not have a joyous expression on his face, but it was instead somewhat lifeless. It seemed as if he were pondering something.
The crowd was puzzled. Exactly what was Chu Feng thinking about?
Chu Feng was indeed thinking about one thing, a thing pertaining to the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
The reason for that was because Chu Feng felt that the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps seemed to be missing something.
Actually, Chu Feng had had his suspicions the moment he ascended to the sixth step. When Chu Feng arrived at the ninth step, he had confirmed his suspicions.
This Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps was different from the one that his father had him climb before.
If one had to describe the difference, then it would be that the present Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps was weaker. Even though this Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps was also very powerful, it was much weaker than the one his father had prepared for him to ascend on the Heavenly Road.
That's right, it was much weaker.
In fact, Chu Feng felt that it was an entire level weaker.
In other words, the ninth step that Chu Feng was currently standing on was only as powerful as the eighth step of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps on the Heavenly Road.
With the situation being like this, a thought came to Chu Feng's mind.
"Could it be… that there's a tenth step?"
Then, Chu Feng made an unexpected movement. He raised his leg and took another step forward. That location surpassed the edge of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step. It was completely empty. There was nothing there but air.
"What is he trying to do?"
"Could he have been struck dumb by the lightning?"
Everyone was puzzled by Chu Feng's movement. All sorts of thoughts appeared in their hearts.
"Step~~~"
However, the next moment, an even more astonishing sight appeared. When Chu Feng's foot landed, it seemed as if it had stepped onto something.
"Zzzzz~~~"
The very next moment, lightning began to appear from under Chu Feng's foot.
When the lightning appeared, it started to connect with the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps to form another faintly-visible step.
"What's going on?!"
At that moment, the people of the younger generation were all bewildered.
Even geniuses like Chu Ruoshi and Chu Lingxi were deeply confused.
"It's the Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step, the legendary tenth step!" Chu Xuanzhengfa shouted loudly. Someone like him had actually lost control of his emotions.
"Tenth step?!"
Hearing those words, the people of the younger generation revealed even greater astonishment. They seemed to have realized something.
At that moment, an old man of the Chu Heavenly Clan that seemed to be a person of virtue and prestige began to gently stroke his beard as he looked at Chu Feng and said, "According to legend, the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps originally possessed ten levels, ten steps. Unfortunately, as no one was capable of ascending to the top, the tenth step disappeared, leaving behind only nine steps."
"However, if one were to ascend to the ninth step and be capable of continuing onward, the disappeared tenth step would once again awaken."
"Originally, I'd thought it to only be a legend. Never would I have imagined it to really exist."
"In that case, would that mean that Chu Feng… has awakened the legendary tenth step?!"
Hearing those words, the people of the younger generation were even more astonished. This was truly too unbelievable. All that Chu Feng had accomplished on this day was simply too unimaginable.

Chapter 2958 - Most Definitely Not An Abnormal Sign
"That said, will he be able to ascend to the legendary tenth step?"
At the same time that they were astonished, the crowd also discovered that Chu Feng's face was completely covered with a painful expression.
A sign of being unable to withstand the pain finally appeared on his face.
Chu Feng had only managed to put a single foot on the tenth step. This could not be considered as having ascended to the tenth step at all. Only by having both feet on the tenth step would it be considered a success.
However, as the crowd saw the difficult expression on Chu Feng's face, they felt that it would be very difficult for Chu Feng to succeed.
It reality, Chu Feng was indeed nearly at his limit. When Chu Feng's foot landed on the tenth step, he felt as if his entire soul was being ripped apart by the lightning. That sort of pain was truly unbearable.
However, Chu Feng was feeling overjoyed.
"Lord Father, you actually deceived me!" Chu Feng exclaimed in his heart.
Only Her Lady Queen was able to hear what he said.
"Chu Feng, what are you talking about? How did your father deceive you?" Her Lady Queen asked.
"Eggy, this Heavenly Lightning Steps is different from the one that my father prepared for me," Chu Feng said.
"Indeed, they're different. However, I do not understand why you said that your father deceived you," Her Lady Queen said.
"It's impossible for two Heavenly Lightning Steps to be different. So because it's different, that means there's an issue with one of the Heavenly Lightning Steps."
"I am currently in the Chu Heavenly Clan's territory. All the people of the Chu Heavenly Clan would have to ascend this Heavenly Lightning Steps when they reach adulthood. Thus, the people of the Chu Heavenly Clan should know the Heavenly Lightning Steps better than anyone else."
"Thus, this Heavenly Lightning Steps should not have any issues. If this Heavenly Lightning Steps has no issues, that means that the Heavenly Lightning Steps my father had me ascend is the one with an issue," Chu Feng said.
"You're saying that your father altered that Heavenly Lightning Steps and increased its power?" Her Lady Queen asked.
"I feel that to most likely be the case," Chu Feng said.
"In that case, it would mean that you'd actually already successfully ascended to the ninth step back in the Heavenly Road?"
"Haha, so that's the case. No wonder your father was so happy after you ascended to the eighth step. It turns out that the eighth step was the ninth step, and the ninth step that you failed to ascend was actually the Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step."
Her Lady Queen went wild with joy. After all, this proved that Chu Feng's talent was not inferior to his father's and grandfather's.
"Chu Feng, likely neither your father nor your grandfather ever ascended to the tenth step before. If you're capable of standing on it fully, wouldn't that mean that your talent surpasses your father's and grandfather's?" Her Lady Queen said.
"I do not wish to surpass my father and grandfather. However, I, as an exiled child, am urgent to prove myself."
"Back then, I was deemed to have no talent for martial cultivation, and was branded as trash on my forehead. I was driven out of my clan when I was only an infant."
"Today, I, Chu Feng, have finally returned to the Chu Heavenly Clan. I must prove myself. I am not trying to prove myself to be stronger than anyone. Rather, I want them to know that they misjudged me. I want them to know that I, Chu Feng, am not someone with no talent for martial cultivation, that I am not a disgrace to Chu Xuanyuan's name, not a disgrace to Chu Hanxian's name, that I, Chu Feng, did not ruin my father and grandfather's reputation."
After saying those words, Chu Feng clenched his teeth and lifted his other foot.
"Step~~~"
Lightning exploded from the Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step. Chu Feng was standing on the tenth step with both feet.
Chu Feng had managed to ascend to the legendary tenth step that no one had been ever able to reach.
"He… really managed to do it?!"
The crowd simply did not dare to believe what they were seeing. Not only did Chu Feng awaken the legendary tenth step, but he even managed to successfully reach it.
At that moment, it was not only the people present that did not dare to believe their eyes, even that Utmost Exalted Elder Chu Hanpeng located deep in the Chu Heavenly Clan's main city had a very complicated expression in his eyes.
That Chu Heavenly Clan's second strongest expert was actually somewhat incapable of remaining calm.
"Rumble~~~"
Right at that moment, a loud explosion sounded from deep within the sky.
The next moment, nine-colored lightning appeared high in the sky.
The lightning spiraled around like a vortex before it gathered together.
"What… what is that?!"
At that moment, it was not only the people of the younger generation that were frightened; even the experts from the older generation became somewhat panicked.
As people of the Chu Heavenly Clan, Nine-colored Divine Lightning was a common sight to them. However, the Nine-colored Divine Lightning that appeared in the sky at that moment gave them a sensation that they'd never felt before.
It was a truly devastating power. If the Nine-colored Divine Lightning in the sky were to strike down, it would definitely be fatal. It would not only be Chu Feng that ended up suffering from it, but everyone present would suffer too.
"That Divine Lightning is not just an abnormal sign. Everyone, scatter immediately, return to the main city!"
Suddenly, someone shouted. The next moment, everyone from the Chu Heavenly Clan started to fly toward the main city.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Chu Xuanzhengfa shouted, "Chu Feng, get down immediately!"
However, when the Nine-colored Divine Lightning appeared in the sky, the Heavenly Lightning Steps' lightning also became abnormally fierce. Chu Feng was completely covered by lightning. One could only faintly see his silhouette, and not know his situation.
This caused Chu Xuanzhengfa to feel even more worried.

Chapter 2959 - Scattering One's Soul
Chu Xuanzhengfa called out for Chu Feng several times and received no response. With that, Chu Xuanzhengfa's body shifted and he began to fly toward the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps. He wanted to forcibly pull Chu Feng out of the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
"Zzzzz~~~"
"Wuuahh~~~"
However, when Chu Xuanzhengfa approached the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps, the lightning from the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps started to attack him.
Chu Xuanzhengfa was actually knocked away by the lightning.
It was most definitely not as simple as being only knocked away. Chu Xuanzhengfa's body was completely scorched. It was as if he had been burned by raging flames. He was seriously injured.
"Lord Vice Hall Master!!!"
Seeing this scene, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall immediately rushed over.
"I'm fine," Chu Xuanzhengfa was already grimacing in pain. However, his eyes were still completely focused on Chu Feng.
"Rumble~~~"
At that moment, the thunder from deep within the sky grew even more ear-piercing. The Nine-colored Divine Lightning that had gathered in once place had started to become restless. It was as if it would strike down at any moment.
Right at that moment, a voice was heard.
"Chu Xuanzhengfa, if you wish for your men from the Law Enforcement Hall to die with you, continue standing out there. Otherwise… return to the main city immediately."
Turning around toward the source of the voice, it was actually the Chu Heavenly Clan's Utmost Exalted Elder, Chu Hanpeng.
Chu Hanpeng was no longer deep in the main city. He was currently standing on top of the main city's city walls and looking at Chu Xuanzhengfa with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, Chu Xuanzhengfa felt very conflicted.
He understood what Chu Hanpeng was telling him. If he was to stay here, his men from the Law Enforcement Hall would definitely stay to accompany him. When the lightning in the sky struck down, it would not only be he and Chu Feng that would suffer. His men from the Law Enforcement Hall would also be killed by the lightning.
"Father!"
At that moment, another shout was heard. It was Chu Lingxi.
Chu Lingxi had not entered the main city. She was standing outside the main city's entrance and staring at Chu Xuanzhengfa.
"Lingxi, quickly, get inside!" Chu Xuanzhengfa shouted.
"No!" Chu Lingxi shook her head stubbornly.
"You!!!" Chu Xuanzhengfa was placed in a very difficult position.
"Rumble~~~"
Right at that moment, explosive rumbles once again sounded from high up in the sky. At that moment, the entire region started to tremble violently.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Chu Xuanzhengfa gnashed his teeth, and then waved his sleeve. A golden ray shot toward the Heavenly Lightning Steps. When it reached the Heavenly Lightning Steps, it suddenly scattered apart and formed a large formation that protected the Heavenly Lightning Steps within it.
That was a defensive treasure.
At the same time as Chu Xuanzhengfa tossed the treasure, his body also shifted. He brought the people from the Law Enforcement Hall and began flying toward the main city. When he arrived at the gate, he also brought Chu Lingxi into the main city.
"Formation, rise!"
When Chu Xuanzhengfa, Chu lingxi and the others entered the main city, Chu Hanpeng tossed a banner toward the sky.
That banner seemed to come into contact with something, and it gave rise to energy ripples. The energy ripples turned into nine-colored lightning that quickly spread out. In the blink of an eye, it had completely sealed off the vast and boundless main city.
It turned out that it was a grand defensive formation. That grand defensive formation was extremely powerful. At the very least, it was over a hundred times more powerful than the defensive treasure Chu Xuanzhengfa had tossed out.
At that moment, the Nine-colored Divine Lightning finally struck down from the sky. It was aimed directly at the Heavenly Lightning Steps Chu Feng was standing on.
"Boom~~~"
A loud explosion was heard. Lightning filled the sky, wreaking havoc at the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps.
However, that seemingly extremely mighty Nine-colored Divine Lightning did not bring forth much of a commotion. Not only did its energy ripples not affect the main city, but the range of its energy ripples was only a hundred meters.
This was totally not what the crowd had anticipated.
Could it be… that this was only just an abnormal sign?
"Chu Feng!!!"
Right at that moment, Chu Xuanzhengfa started to shout hysterically.
It was only after he shouted that the crowd realized that the Heavenly Lightning Steps had disappeared. It was forcibly shattered apart. As for Chu Feng, he was floating in midair.
Chu Feng's body had been destroyed. Floating in midair was his spirit body. Only Chu Feng's spirit body remained. At that moment, Chu Feng's eyes were closed. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Buzz~~~"
Right at that moment, the formation that had protected the Chu Heavenly Clan's main city suddenly disappeared. It was Chu Hanpeng; he had undone the grand defensive formation.
At the moment when the grand defensive formation was undone, Chu Xuanzhengfa immediately flew out and arrived beside Chu Feng, grabbing hold of him.
At the moment when he caught Chu Feng, Chu Xuanzhengfa's nervous expression eased greatly. The reason for that was because Chu Feng was still alive.
However, he was only at ease momentarily.
Although Chu Feng was still alive, his aura was very weak. In fact, his soul even showed signs of dispersing.
Once a martial cultivator became a True Immortal, their bodies would be indestructible should their soul remain alive.
However, should their soul be destroyed, they too would die.
"Lord Utmost Exalted Elder, am I allowed to bring Chu Feng into the main city now?"
Chu Xuanzhengfa raised his head and looked to Chu Hanpeng on the city walls.
"The fault of one's father is unrelated to the son."
"Back then, Chu Xuanyuan made an enormous blunder for Chu Feng's sake. However, that is most definitely not what Chu Feng had desired."
"As for Chu Feng, since he is not someone incapable of cultivating and is also Chu Hanxian's grandson, he is qualified to return to our Chu Heavenly Clan."
"Thus, from today on, Chu Feng… is a member of our Chu Heavenly Clan," Chu Hanpeng spoke loudly.
Once he finished saying those words, Chu Xuanzhengfa immediately brought Chu Feng back into the main city. At the same time, he shouted, "Bring all the doctors to the Law Enforcement Hall!"

Chapter 2960 - Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes
The destruction brought about by the Nine-colored Divine Lightning that descended from the sky was very small. It was so small that it surpassed the crowd's expectations.
However, the Nine-colored Divine Lightning had still destroyed the Heavenly Lightning Steps and injured Chu Feng.
Chu Feng's injuries were very serious. Chu Xuanzhengfa called all of the best doctors in the Chu Heavenly Clan to treat Chu Feng's injuries together. They used countless precious healing medicines and spent a total of nine days and nine nights to barely bring Chu Feng back from the gates of hell.
However, even with this being the case, Chu Feng still did not recover completely, and was still unconscious.
That said, they had, nevertheless, saved Chu Feng's life.
When the news of Chu Feng still being alive was sent out, the entire Chu Heavenly Clan grew quieter.
There were people that were secretly delighted. The return of the exiled trash that was actually a heaven-defying genius. That was something that would be beneficial to their Chu Heavenly Clan.
That said, there were also people that were depressed. With how overwhelmingly talented Chu Feng was, his nurturing would definitely be emphasized by the Chu Heavenly Clan. This was extremely detrimental to those that disliked Chu Xuanyuan or were enemies of Chu Xuanyuan.
If Chu Feng was to rise, Chu Xuanyuan would, sooner or later, be set free.
That being said, Chu Feng had no idea what was happening outside at all.
He only felt himself feeling very muddleheaded for a long time. It was as if he had been trapped somewhere and was unable to escape. Inevitably, he began to panic.
Finally, a beam of light appeared before his eyes. Chu Feng started to strive for that light. Finally… his eyes became clear.
Chu Feng had woken up. When he woke up, he discovered that he was lying on a special bed ,and by his bedside was a woman.
That woman was currently blinking her large eyes and looking at him.
"Chu Feng, you've woken up? That's great!"
Upon seeing Chu Feng regaining consciousness, the woman was wild with joy.
"You are?" Chu Feng still had a very intense headache. His consciousness was still not very clear. However, he was certain that he did not know the woman.
"You don't know me?"
"Aiya, I've nearly forgotten. Yes, you don't know me."
"However, I know you. I know everything that happened to you in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. You still remember Chu Bore, no? I used to follow him and was in charge of monitoring things in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm," The woman said.
"So that's the case. No wonder you know me then," Chu Feng smiled. Then, he said, "Then, how should I address you?"
"I am called Chu Yue. If you don't mind, you can call me big sister Chu Yue," The Woman said.
"Chu Yue?" Chu Feng was slightly startled upon hearing that name.
It was such a familiar name. Back in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm's Nine Provinces Continent's Chu Family, there had also been a person called Chu Yue who had looked at Chu Feng with a beautiful, bright and comforting smile like the woman before him.
Chu Yue was Chu Feng's older paternal cousin. Although they did not possess a blood relationship, she treated Chu Feng extremely well, like an actual blood sister.
Thus, Chu Feng started feeling very amiable upon hearing the name Chu Yue.
Seeing Chu Feng acting somewhat absent-minded, Chu Yue asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'll call you big sis Chu Yue then," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Sure, it's all the same," Seeing that Chu Feng was really addressing her as 'big sis,' Chu Yue felt very happy.
Although she was not present when Chu Feng ascended to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step outside the main city's entrance, she had heard from Chu Huai how astonishing that scene was.
Chu Feng was no longer exiled trash. He had been acknowledged by their Utmost Exalted Elder. At present, he was a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Furthermore, with Chu Feng's talent, his nurture would definitely be emphasized by the Chu Heavenly Clan.
It was most definitely a good thing to make good connections with a person like Chu Feng.
"Big sis Chu Yue, how long have I been unconscious?" Chu Feng asked.
"You've been unconscious for ten days now. Fortunately, you've woken up. Do you know how many people are worried about you?"
"Lil brother Chu Feng, I will go and inform everyone that you've woken up so as to prevent them from worrying about you," Chu Yue said.
"Very well," Chu Feng nodded.
"Wait here a moment. I will go call the doctor too," After saying those words, Chu Yue left.
"Wuu~~~"
After Chu Yue left, Chu Feng suddenly felt his head aching enormously. He felt as if his head were about to explode.
Strangely, as his head started hurting, it also started feeling much clearer. As the headache subsided, Chu Feng managed to wake up completely.
However, when Chu Feng completely awoke, he was stunned.
At that moment, a sort of power appeared in Chu Feng's head.
It resembled a martial skill, but wasn't a martial skill. It wasn't a secret skill either. This item was connected to his soul and bloodline.
It was a technique related to his bloodline. Not only did it possessed a clear training method, but it also possessed a name.
It was called the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes.
"Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes? Could this be the Nine-colored Divine Lightning that descended from the sky and struck my body?"
Chu Feng came to a sudden realization.
It turned out that the Nine-colored Divine Lightning that struck down from the heavens was not trying to kill him. Rather, it was entering his body.
It was because the Nine-colored Divine Lightning was too powerful that Chu Feng's body ended up shattering, and his soul was injured in the process too.
That said, without a doubt, being struck by the Nine-colored Divine Lightning was definitely worth it.
Chu Feng was able to tell that the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes was stronger than any technique that he had learned before. In fact, it could be said that neither martial skills, Immortal Techniques nor secret skills could compare with the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes.
If other techniques were soldiers or generals, then the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes would be the king.

Chapter 2961 - The Sacred Domain Selection
First Slash, Heavenly Lightning Appearance.
Second Slash, Heavenly Lightning Transformation.
Third Slash, Heavenly Lightning Fusion.
Fourth Slash, Demonic Lightning Conversion.
Fifth Slash, Demonic Lightning Movement.
Sixth Slash, Chaotic Heavenly Dome.
Seventh Slash, Divine Demonic Conversion.
Eighth Slash, Divine Demonic Dance.
Ninth Slash, Living Beings Extermination.
These are the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes.
The Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes possessed a very special learning method. Chu Feng had to use a special method to draw forth the lightnings within his bloodline. In other words, he must draw forth the power of the Heavenly Lightning within him.
To draw forth the lightning from his bloodline and use the power of the lightning beasts, that was most definitely not a simple task.
Merely the first slash was so difficult to train that it gave Chu Feng a headache.
That said, even with this being the case, Chu Feng was still delighted.
Perhaps because the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes had assimilated into his body, assimilated into his soul, Chu Feng was able to tell how powerful the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes was even though he had not mastered it.
Merely the first slash possessed a heaven-defying might capable of surmounting a level of cultivation. It was capable of killing someone with a level of cultivation higher than the user.
Although Her Lady Queen was capable of sharing Chu Feng's sight and hearing, she was unable to see what was in Chu Feng's mind.
Seeing Chu Feng acting all distracted, she was unable to contain herself and asked, "Chu Feng, why are you acting so absent-mindedly?"
"Milady Queen, I've… profited from a disaster again."
Enormously overjoyed, Chu Feng began to tell Her Lady Queen about the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes.
"Such a thing actually happened? It turned out that you didn't receive a heavenly tribulation after ascending to the tenth step. Instead, you received benefits."
"Haha, this is truly great. If the people from the Chu Heavenly Clan were to find out about this matter, they'd end up dying from excessive anger," upon finding out about this news, Her Lady Queen felt even happier than Chu Feng.
"They absolutely cannot learn about this matter. Although Senior Zhengfa treats me very well, it's still unclear as to exactly what sort of attitude the Chu Heavenly Clan has toward me. If they are to know that I possess a technique related to our Heavenly Bloodline within my body, who knows if they might try to strip it from me," Chu Feng said.
"Of course, how could you possibly let them know about this? That said, it's only now that you're not letting them know. You will have to tell them about this in the future, you must tell them about it."
"When your strength reaches a level where you do not have to fear the Chu Heavenly Clan anymore, you should unleash the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes and have them witness the ability that you possess, have them see that it's something that they will not be able to obtain in their lifetime."
The corners of Her Lady Queen's face were raised into a smile. It was as if she were already seeing the astonishment and remorse that would appear on the faces of the people from the Chu Heavenly Clan in the future.
"Haha, sure, I'll do as my Eggy suggests," Chu Feng was also very happy.
Chu Feng felt that his body was practically fine now. On top of that, he had obtained such a powerful technique. With this, how could he not be overjoyed?
The only pity was that Chu Feng was simply incapable of learning the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes at present. Chu Feng felt that he would have to be at least a Martial Immortal in order to begin learning the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes.
However, not only was the current Chu Feng not a Martial Immortal, but he was even quite some distance away from even becoming a Heavenly Immortal. Thus, he would still have to wait patiently before he could attempt to learn the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes.
That said, the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes became a motivation for Chu Feng to increase his cultivation.
"Chu Feng, you've awoken?"
Right at that moment, the door to Chu Feng's room suddenly opened. Upon opening, Chu Xuanzhengfa immediately rushed in.
Following behind him were Chu Xingde, Chu Xingren, Chu Yue and a middle-aged woman.
That middle-aged woman's appearance resembled Chu Yue. Thus, Chu Feng felt that that middle-aged woman should be Chu Yue's mother.
To Chu Feng's surprise, on Chu Yue's mother's waist was the title plate of the Law Enforcement Hall. Chu Yue's mother was actually a member of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Actually, this was understandable. Chu Xuanzhengfa knew that there were many people in the Chu Heavenly Clan that wanted to bring harm to Chu Feng. Thus, he would naturally have to choose people that he trusted to take care of him.
Since Chu Yue's mother was a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, that would mean that she was Chu Xuanzhengfa's trusted aide. That was likely the reason why Chu Yue was chosen to look after Chu Feng.
However, that was not the most important aspect. Most importantly, apart from Chu Xuanzhengfa, Chu Xingdi and Chu Xingren, Chu Yue's mother also had a worried expression on her face when she walked in.
This meant that Chu Yue's mother was also worried for Chu Feng.
After Chu Xuanzhengfa and the others entered, Chu Feng hurriedly got up from his bed and clasped his fist at Chu Xuanzhengfa and the others. He said, "Senior Zhengfa, I am truly sorry. I have worried you."
"Alas, Chu Feng, what are you doing? You've only just awoken, you should continue to properly rest," Chu Xuanzhengfa forcibly pushed Chu Feng back onto the bed.
"Senior Zhengfa, I am fine now. You do not have to worry about me," Chu Feng said.
"You're fine now? You're saying that you've completely recovered?" Chu Xuanzhengfa felt very surprised.
It was not only him. Chu Xingde, Chu Xingren and Chu Yue's mother were also surprised.
Their surprise was understandable. After all, they had all personally witnessed how serious Chu Feng's injuries were. Thus, they would naturally feel surprised after hearing Chu Feng say that he was fine.
"I am indeed fine," Chu Feng said.
"Milord, the doctors are here," right at that moment, a shout sounded from outside.
"Have the doctors come in," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
Afterward, two old men dressed in identical outfits walked in.
On their gowns were four characters. They read: 'Chu Heavenly Clan Doctor.'
These so-called doctors were actually world spiritists. The two world spiritists that entered were both pretty powerful. The reason why they were called doctors was because they specialized in medical treatment techniques.
Perhaps they might not be very powerful in terms of setting up slaughtering formations or defensive formations; however, they were most definitely top-rated world spiritists in terms of giving medical treatment and saving people.
After the two doctors entered, they both activated their special observation methods to diagnose Chu Feng's condition.
After that, the two doctors revealed joyous looks on their faces and looked to Chu Xuanzhengfa at the same time, "Milord, Chu Feng is completely healed."
"Really?" Chu Xuanzhengfa was still somewhat incapable of believing this to be true.
"Absolutely certain," the two doctors said in unison.
"He's actually really healed," after verifying it, Chu Xuanzhengfa looked to Chu Feng. His expression became complicated.
"Lord Vice Hall Master, since Chu Feng has recovered completely, can we have him participate in the Nine Moons Sacred Domain Selection?" Chu Xingde said.
"Right, the Nine Moons Sacred Domain Selection."
Chu Xuanzhengfa came to a sudden realization after hearing those words. Then he looked to Chu Feng and said in a very excited manner, "Chu Feng, I'm afraid that you will not be able to rest. The reason for that is because you must participate in this selection."

Chapter 2962 - Gazes Of Fear
"The Sacred Domain Selection?"
"Senior, is the Nine Moons Sacred Domain soon to open?" Chu Feng asked.
"It would appear that Xingde and Xingren have mentioned it to you already," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"The two seniors have indeed mentioned that the Nine Moons Sacred Domain was soon to open to this junior before. However, this junior has no idea exactly how the selection will be made."
Chu Feng was able to guess that the so-called Sacred Domain Selection must be a sort of exam to determine who would enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain. Only by passing the examination would one receive an opportunity to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain to train.
However, Chu Feng did not know the exact details regarding the test. After all, different tests possessed different criterion.
"The Sacred Domain Selection is set up for the people of the younger generations. For someone like you, it would be very easy to pass. It would merely be a formality."
"I have already obtained the opportunity to participate in the Sacred Domain Selection for you."
"Merely, as your injuries were too serious, and you've been unconscious for too long, and the Sacred Domain Selection is going to happen today, I had originally thought that you'd end up missing this opportunity."
"Fortunately, you woke up right on time, and you're even recovered completely on top of that. It would appear that it is truly the will of the heavens."
"Even the heavens want you to participate in the training in the Nine Moons Sacred Domain this time around."
Chu Xuanzhengfa was very happy. As he spoke, he took out a title plate and handed it to Chu Feng.
Written on the title plate were the words 'Sacred Domain Selection.'
"Lil' brother Chu Feng, congratulations."
Seeing that title plate, Chu Yue immediately congratulated Chu Feng.
At the moment when she congratulated Chu Feng, she glanced at the qualification title plate that Chu Xuanzhengfa handed to Chu Feng. An inevitably envious look appeared in her eyes. Her envious expression was very obvious.
From her expression, Chu Feng was able to imagine that, while only the people that passed the test were allowed to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain to train, it seemed that even obtaining the qualifications to participate in the selection was not that easy. At the very least, Chu Yue was not qualified.
That said, Chu Yue's cultivation was not that weak either. Although she was only a rank three True Immortal, her cultivation was still pretty decent among the people of the younger generations.
Even with her cultivation, Chu Yue did not obtain the qualifications to participate in the selection. From this, one could imagine how rigorous it was to be qualified to participate in the selection.
"Chu Yue, you and your mother have worked hard at taking care of Chu Feng these past couple days."
"Thus, I have also obtained a title plate for you," as Chu Xuanzhengfa spoke, he took out another title plate and handed it to Chu Yue.
"Thank you, Lord Vice Hall Master!" Chu Yue was pleased beyond expectation upon seeing that title plate. She hurriedly knelt on the ground to respectfully kowtow to Chu Xuanzhengfa.
"Alas, quickly get up. This is what you deserve. You don't have to be so courteous toward me."
Chu Xuanzhengfa personally helped Chu Yue up, and then placed the title plate in her palm.
"Chu Yue, while your talent is inferior to Chu Feng's, it's not weak either. As long as you take on this Sacred Domain Selection earnestly, you will have a chance to pass," Chu Xuanzhengfa added.
"This Chu Yue will definitely not let Lord Vice Hall Master down," Chu Yue said.
Then, Chu Xuanzhengfa began to introduce the middle-aged woman to Chu Feng.
Sure enough, it was as Chu Feng had guessed. The middle-aged woman was indeed Chu Yue's mother.
Furthermore, Chu Yue's mother was indeed a member of the Law Enforcement Hall. It had been her and Chu Yue that had been taking care of Chu Feng while he was unconscious.
One thing worthy of mentioning was that Chu Feng seemed to be able to tell from the conversation that Chu Yue's father seemed to have died already. At present, only Chu Yue and her mother were alive.
Chu Feng knew how precious one's relatives were. As Chu Feng had a good impression of Chu Yue to begin with, he inevitably felt sympathetic toward her upon finding out her history.
After a simple introduction, Chu Xuanzhengfa brought Chu Feng to the location of the Sacred Domain Selection.
The location where the Sacred Domain Selection was being held was a palace hall that only the people of the younger generation were allowed to enter.
When Chu Feng and Chu Yue entered the palace hall, Chu Feng immediately recognized some familiar faces. Chu Ruoshi, Chu Lingxi and Chu Huanyu, those geniuses of the Chu Heavenly Clan, were all present.
Apart from Chu Ruoshi, Chu Lingxi and Chu Huanyu, there were also other people that Chu Feng had seen before but whose names he did not know.
There was also a person there that Chu Feng had never seen before. However, he was not weak. That person possessed the same cultivation as Chu Huanyu. He was a rank seven True Immortal.
Likely, he was the other genius of the Chu Heavenly Clan's current younger generation, Chu Haoyan.
Apart from those people, Chu Feng also noticed there were a total of ninety-eight people of the younger generation present in the palace hall, excluding him and Chu Yue. Including the two of them, there were a total of a hundred people.
Likely, the amount of people that were allowed to participate in the Sacred Domain Selection this time around was only a hundred.
With how prosperous the Chu Heavenly Clan was, they possessed numerous people of the younger generation. With only a hundred spots, it was no wonder that the qualification to participate in the Sacred Domain Selection was so difficult to obtain.
"Look! That's Chu Feng!"
"He actually woke up!!!"
"Heavens, even after being struck by that sort of lightning, he's actually fine?!"
At the moment when Chu Feng walked in, the people present immediately noticed him.
At that moment, cries of alarm began to sound nonstop.
When the crowd saw Chu Feng, they all, to a greater or lesser degree, revealed complicated expressions.
At least seventy percent of the people present had personally witnessed Chu Feng ascending the Nine Levels Heavenly Lightning Steps, awakening the legendary tenth step and ultimately bringing forth the Nine-colored Divine Lightning.
Thus, in their eyes, Chu Feng had not only returned to the Chu Heavenly Clan, but with his performance, it would not be excessive at all to say that he was the member of the younger generation with the greatest potential.
That was the reason why they were looking at Chu Feng with such complicated expressions on their faces. This was especially true for those people that disliked Chu Feng. At that moment, they were feeling a slight amount of fear toward him.

Chapter 2963 - Provocation And Insults
"Little brother Chu Feng, you've awoken?"
"Little brother Chu Feng, you're alright now?"
"Little brother Chu Feng, I am truly relieved to see you fine. Did you know how worried for you I was these days when you were unconscious?"
Suddenly, a group of people rushed out of the crowd. Not only did they completely surround Chu Feng and Chu Yue, but they even revealed expressions of deep concern. It was as if they were Chu Feng's relatives that had known him for many years as they began to ask Chu Feng about his health worriedly.
At that moment, Chu Feng frowned. He thought to himself, 'the younger generation of the Chu Heavenly Clan are actually only like this too.'
Back then, those Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations would refuse to even give a fuck about Chu Feng. Yet at present, they were acting so eagerly attentive.
Their reaction was not because of any familial love. Instead, it was because they'd seen Chu Feng's potential.
Right at that moment, a cold voice sounded loudly, "Since when did that exiled trash become your little brother?"
The people that had surrounded Chu Feng and were acting deeply concerned for him were immediately stunned.
At that moment, Chu Feng saw a word on their faces - hesitation.
They were only hesitant for a single moment before immediately dispersing.
They had made their decision. They had made the choice between Chu Feng and the person that had shouted earlier.
As for the person that had shouted those words earlier, it was that man by the name of Chu Haoyan.
At that moment, Chu Haoyan was slowly walking toward Chu Feng.
At that moment, everyone had closed their mouths. Anyone could tell that this Chu Haoyan was planning to stir up trouble for Chu Feng.
However, who would've thought that Chu Haoyan did not immediately try to make things difficult for Chu Feng upon arriving before him. Instead, he looked to Chu Yue who stood beside Chu Feng. Using a threatening tone, he said, "Chu Yue, don't you want to continue to survive in the Chu Heavenly Clan?"
Chu Feng noticed that Chu Yue's face immediately turned pale with fear after Chu Haoyan said those words to her. In fact, she was unable to even speak properly.
It could be seen that Chu Yue was extremely afraid of that Chu Haoyan.
Seeing the expression of fear on Chu Yue's face, Chu Haoyan did not feel any protective feelings for the fairer sex. Instead, he grew even more furious, and asked with an even more stern tone, "I am asking you a question!!!"
Once Chu Haoyan said those words, Chu Yue was so scared that she immediately moved back and nearly fell to the ground.
It was Chu Feng who promptly extended his arm to catch Chu Yue and help her back up.
At that moment, Chu Feng brought Chu Yue behind him. He faced Chu Haoyan head-on and said, "If you don't like me, say it to me straightforwardly. To target a young woman, what sort of man are you?"
"Yoh, you're quite a man yourself. Is this a hero saving a beauty? Aiyoyo, truly amazing and deserving of praise!" Chu Haoyan started to mock and ridicule Chu Feng with a smile on his face.
Then, an ominous glint suddenly appeared in his eyes. He said to Chu Feng, "Did you really think that you were qualified to speak against this young master just because you've ascended to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step?"
"You weren't present that day, right?" Chu Feng asked.
"What are you trying to say?" Chu Haoyan was confused.
"What I've reached was not the Heavenly Lightning Steps' ninth step. Instead, it was the tenth step," Chu Feng corrected.
"I don't give a fuck what step you reached. What's this? Did you think yourself to be very amazing?"
Right at that moment, Chu Haoyan actually grabbed Chu Feng's lapel.
At the moment when Chu Haoyan grabbed Chu Feng's lapel, Chu Feng started to frown. He could feel a killing intent sweeping toward him.
"Chu Feng," right at that moment, a hand grabbed Chu Feng's wrist.
It was Chu Yue. Chu Yue not only grabbed Chu Feng, she was also sending a voice transmission to him.
"Chu Feng, do not provoke this Chu Haoyan. His grandfather is a Chu Heavenly Clan's Utmost Exalted Elder. Apart from Chu Ruoshi, Chu Lingxi and Chu Huanyu, there is simply no one among the younger generations that would dare offend him."
Hearing those words, Chu Feng's anger was forcibly suppressed.
It was not that Chu Feng was afraid of Chu Haoyan, nor was it that he was afraid of Chu Haoyan's background.
Instead, Chu Feng was worried about Chu Yue.
Chu Feng had no plans of staying in the Chu Heavenly Clan for an extended period of time. He would one day end up leaving.
Regardless of whether he stayed or left he would not be afraid of Chu Haoyan.
However, it would be different for Chu Yue. If Chu Feng were to leave, what would happen to her?
With that Chu Haoyan's temperament, he would definitely retaliate against Chu Yue.
Even though it was Chu Feng's first time meeting Chu Yue, Chu Feng had already started to have a feeling of familial affection for her.
It might be because of Chu Yue's name, or it might be because she had taken care of him when he was unconscious. However, Chu Feng truly felt that Chu Yue was a very close and dear person to him. He truly considered her to be his older sister. Thus, Chu Feng had to show consideration for her sake.
"What's this? Your expression earlier was amiss. Could it be that you wanted to fight against me?"
Right at that moment, Chu Haoyan lifted Chu Feng by his lapel.
When Chu Haoyan lifted Chu Feng, Chu Yue's hand that was grabbing onto Chu Feng's wrist grew tighter. Chu Feng was able to sense Chu Yue's hand shivering. She was truly scared, she was extremely afraid of Chu Haoyan.
It was because of Chu Yue that Chu Feng forcibly suppressed his surging anger.
"What's this? Where's the expression you showed earlier?"
"Weren't you rumored to be extremely amazing, fearless and daring to offend anyone?"
"It turns out you're nothing more than a paper tiger," Chu Haoyao mocked.
"Rumble~~~"
Right at that moment, rumbles sounded from deep within the palace hall as a gate opened.
At that moment, the crowd's eyes all shifted. The reason for that was because the opening of the gate meant that the Sacred Domain Selection had begun.
"Chu Haoyan, your cultivation is above Chu Feng's. You are clearly stronger than him. Even if you are to fight against him and win, you would only have won through an unfair advantage."
Right at that moment, a voice was heard. It was Chu Ruoshi.
"Chu Ruoshi, it would appear that you have quite a relationship with this Chu Feng. You're actually speaking for him now?" Chu Haoyan said eccentrically.
"If I possessed a relationship with Chu Feng, I would definitely not only be speaking right now. Instead, you would already be lying on the ground," Chu Ruoshi said.
"You!!!" Hearing those words, Chu Haoyan immediately revealed a furious look.
Oh how mocking were those words.
They were both people of the younger generation, both outstanding geniuses of the Chu Heavenly Clan, but Chu Ruoshi did not place Chu Haoyan in her eyes in the slightest.

Chapter 2964 - You've Been Warned
"I merely have a suggestion. The Sacred Domain Selection has started. Let us not waste everyone's time."
"If you feel that Chu Feng's ascension to the tenth step is but a false reputation and not actual ability, you can use this Sacred Domain Selection to compete against him."
"The two of you can enter the Death Gate, whoever exits first shall be the winner. What say you?" Chu Ruoshi said.
"Humph, I will naturally have no problem with it," Chu Haoyan said disapprovingly.
"Little brother Chu Feng, what say you?" Chu Ruoshi looked to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng did not answer. Even though Chu Haoyan was still grabbing his lapel, even though he was still provoking and insulting him, even though Chu Feng could feel the questioning gazes of the crowd, Chu Feng still did not answer.
It was not that Chu Feng was afraid. How could he possibly be afraid?
While he was not afraid of Chu Haoyan, he was fearful for Chu Yue. He was afraid that Chu Yue would be harmed once he left the Chu Heavenly Clan.
"This would only be a sparring match between you and Chu Haoyan. Regardless of the outcome of the match, it will have nothing to do with anyone."
"If someone is to target others because of this match, or tries to retaliate in the future, I, Chu Ruoshi, will stand forth to uphold justice," Chu Ruoshi said.
Chu Ruoshi was very intelligent. At least, she was much smarter than many of the people present. She did not feel that Chu Feng had kept silent for so long because he was afraid of Chu Haoyan. On the contrary, she was able to tell that Chu Feng was worried for Chu Yue.
That was why she said those words.
After Chu Ruoshi said those words, Chu Yue's hands eased their grip. It would appear that she felt much more at ease with Chu Ruoshi as her backer.
Thus, at that moment, Chu Feng finally opened his mouth and said, "That's fine."
"Humph, fine? You're fine now? Why were you refusing to spar earlier then?"
"The Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step. Hahaha. That's nothing much either."
As Chu Haoyan said those words, he forcibly swung Chu Feng and tossed him several meters away. He used so much strength that he nearly smashed Chu Feng to the ground.
At that moment, Chu Feng was broken away from Chu Yue. Like a ferocious beast, the killing intent in his eyes immediately burst forth.
"What's this? You're feeling unreconciled?" Chu Haoyan asked.
"Enough. Don't waste anymore time. Go in," right at that moment, Chu Ruoshi spoke again.
"This lady has no time to bother looking at you all fighting here. I don't care if you want to enter or not, but I'm going to enter," Chu Lingxi suddenly said.
After she finished saying those words, she immediately flew into the open gate, In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared.
Chu Lingxi's movement was like a command for the start of the Sacred Domain Selection. Many of the people present immediately set off after her. They too flew into the open gate.
"Humph, trash. Today, I will give Chu Ruoshi face and let you know what a true genius is."
"If you feel unreconciled, I, Chu Haoyan, will properly take care of you after this Sacred Domain Selection is finished," Chu Haoyan said while pointing at Chu Feng.
After he finished saying those words, he too started flying toward the open gate.
As for Chu Feng, he did not set off immediately. Instead, he arrived beside Chu Yue and asked concernedly, "Big sis Chu Yue, are you alright?"
"Little brother Chu Feng, I am truly sorry. It's all because of me that you've ended up suffering," Chu Yue said with an apologetic expression on her face.
Chu Feng was slightly surprised upon hearing those words. It appeared that Chu Yue was very smart. She not only knew that Chu Feng had only endured Chu Haoyan's insults because of her, but she also seemed to understand Chu Feng's temperament too.
She knew that, with Chu Feng's temperament, he would've already started fighting Chu Haoyan if it wasn't for her stopping him.
Thinking about it, it was understandable for her to know about Chu Feng's temperament. After all, she had seen Chu Feng already in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. It was only natural for her to know a bit about Chu Feng's personality.
Perhaps it was precisely because she knew about Chu Feng's personality that she ended up stopping him.
"As long as big sis Chu Yue is fine, I, Chu Feng, will not feel any grievance," Chu Feng said with a smile.
It was a very indifferent smile. It wasn't that Chu Feng really did not mind the humiliation he had received. Rather… he did not want Chu Yue to worry.
"Little brother Chu Feng, you should enter quickly. Remember, the one on the left is the Life Gate, whereas the one on the right is the Death Gate. You must enter the Death Gate," Chu Yue said.
"In that case, you're planning to enter the Life Gate?" Chu Feng asked.
"Mn, the Life Gate is different from the Death Gate. I do not possess the strength to enter the Death Gate."
"As for the actual differences, I will tell you about it later. Right now, we must enter them immediately. Otherwise… I might end up losing the opportunity to obtain the qualifications," Chu Yue said.
After saying those words, Chu Yue grew anxious.
"Very well, let us enter together."
After Chu Feng finished saying those words, he grabbed Chu Yue and started flying toward the open gate.
At that moment, only four figures had entered the so-called Death Gate. They were Chu Lingxi, Chu Ruoshi, Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu.
Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu were currently walking alongside one another.
"Chu Huanyu, with how useless that Chu Feng is, why didn't you take care of him before?" Chu Haoyan spoke very proudly. He seemed to be flaunting to Chu Huanyu how he had successfully humiliated Chu Feng.
As for Chu Huanyu, his expression turned stern. He said, "Although I, more than anyone else, detest that Chu Feng, but Chu Haoyan, I must remind you that Chu Feng is not as simple as you imagine him to be. It would be best for you to prepare yourself."
"What preparation?" Chu Haoyan asked.
"Prepare yourself to be taken care of by him," Chu Huanyu said.
"Hahaha. Me, being taken care of by him? Very well, I'll wait. I will wait for that trash to come take care of me. Hahaha."
"Chu Huanyu, oh Chu Huanyu, have you trained yourself stupid after being out training for so long? You're actually saying that trash like that will be able to take care of me?"
Chu Haoyan was laughing complacently. It was as if he had heard a very ridiculous joke.
Seeing such a Chu Haoyan, Chu Huanyu's expression changed. He said, "Remember, you've been warned."
After he finished saying those words, Chu Huanyu hastened his speed.

Chapter 2965 - The Shouldered Reputation
After Chu Huanyu increased his speed, he quickly disappeared into the dark cave.
As for Chu Haoyan, he suddenly stopped.
He retrieved the smile on his face, and his gaze became pensive. There was a trace of cautiousness in his eyes.
Although he did not like Chu Huanyu, he knew that Chu Huanyu was not someone who would say things at random. After Chu Huanyu warned him in such a serious manner, Chu Haoyan started feeling slightly uneasy.
However, the cautious expression in his eyes quickly disappeared, to be replaced with arrogance and conceit.
"Humph, what could some trash like him possibly do? Even if someone is to be taken care of, it would be me, Chu Haoyan, taking care of him."
After he said those words, Chu Haoyan also increased his speed. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared deep into the Death Gate.
As for Chu Feng, he too had entered this so-called Death Gate. However... he was the last person to enter the Death Gate.
Compared to the Life Gate, the Death Gate was indeed stranger. Traps were present everywhere. If one did not possess sharp observation, it would indeed be very difficult to travel.
Walking in the Death Gate alone, Chu Feng had a feeling that danger was lurking in all directions.
That said, even with this being the case, Chu Feng was still traveling with his fastest speed. After all... he wanted to defeat Chu Haoyan.
The traps present on the path were actually very easy to dodge for a world spiritist of Chu Feng's caliber.
As they traveled, Her Lady Queen asked, "Chu Feng, was it really worth it for you to endure silently like that for that girl Chu Yue?"
Her Lady Queen was feeling somewhat unhappy. She was not fond of Chu Feng doing such a thing because she did not wish to see Chu Feng being wronged.
"A temporary restraint will calm the waves," Chu Feng said with a joking tone.
"Do you really think that to be the case? If you really felt that to be the case, you wouldn't have agreed to compete with Chu Haoyan in this Sacred Domain Selection," Her Lady Queen said.
Hearing those words, Chu Feng's expression changed slightly. If it wasn't for Chu Yue, he would indeed not have bothered to endure the humiliation from Chu Haoyan.
"Chu Feng, I feel that there is one thing that I must remind you of," Her Lady Queen said.
"What is it?" Chu Feng said.
"I know that you decided to endure the humiliation earlier because you did not wish to implicate that Chu Yue. However, even if you're able to protect her temporarily, you will not be able to protect her forever."
"Furthermore, she does not possess a deep relationship with you, nor has she done anything for you before. Even her taking care of you was because she was tasked to do so by Chu Xuanzhengfa. Furthermore, she also benefited from taking care of you. Because she took care of you, she is now qualified to participate in the Sacred Domain Selection."
"If you allow a person like her to become your weakness, you will have to ask yourself if she is truly worthy of you doing all this," Her Lady Queen said.
Chu Feng grew quiet. He had truly never considered all those things. He had only decided to protect Chu Yue because he felt that she was close and dear to him.
"Furthermore, and most importantly, everyone now knows that you are Chu Hanxian's grandson and Chu Xuanyuan's son. Thus, you now not only shoulder your own reputation, but you also shoulder your grandfather and father's reputations," Her Lady Queen added.
Hearing those words, Chu Feng's expression became very complicated.
Indeed, he was Chu Hanxian's grandson, and Chu Xuanyuan's son.
Whilst he could disgrace himself, he could not disgrace Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan.
Whilst he naturally did not wish for Chu Yue to be harmed, she could not possibly compare to his grandfather and father's reputations.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng suddenly clenched his fists. Anger erupted from his eyes.
At that moment, Chu Feng's surroundings became incomparably cold. What erupted out alongside his anger was overflowing killing intent.
It was the killing intent that he had suppressed for a long time. It was the killing intent he had toward Chu Haoyan.
"Eggy, I understand now. I know what to do now," Chu Feng said.
Hearing what Chu Feng said, Her Lady Queen revealed a smile on her face. She said, "That's more like it. You should've realized that the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations do not know about your grandfather and father. Naturally, they will not know how powerful your grandfather and father were. That is the reason why someone like Chu Haoyan would dare to disrespect you like that."
"Right now, neither your grandfather nor your father will be able to stand up for you. Thus, you must stand up for yourself."
"You will naturally be unable to do anything to those old farts of the older generation. However, you absolutely cannot allow yourself to be bullied by those of the younger generation. Regardless of what they do, you must never allow yourself to be bullied."
The implied meaning of Eggy's words was very clear. Even if Chu Haoyan and the others were to threaten Chu Feng with Chu Yue, Chu Feng must still not submit to them. Otherwise, he would be disgracing his grandfather and father.
"I understand. I will definitely not restrain myself again," Chu Feng said.
"Of course not. The next time something like that happens, have this Queen come out immediately. This Queen will have that Chu Haoyan and the other Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations know that you, Chu Feng, are not one to be provoked," Her Lady Queen said with full confidence.
Although Her Lady Queen's current cultivation was only that of a rank five True Immortal, whereas Chu Haoyan was a rank seven True Immortal, Chu Haoyan would definitely not be a match for Her Lady Queen.
The reason for that was because apart from her cultivation of rank five True Immortal, Her Lady Queen also possessed a heaven-defying battle power that other martial cultivators did not possess. Furthermore... her heaven-defying battle power was capable of surmounting five levels of cultivation.
Not to mention that Chu Haoyan, even that Chu Ruoshi might not necessarily be a match for Her Lady Queen.
"Who said I didn't have anyone to stand up for me? Don't I have Milady Queen to stand up for me?" Chu Feng said with a beaming smile.
After chatting with Her Lady Queen, Chu Feng felt much more liberated from his depression.The reason for that was because he knew very well that the moment he walked out of the Death Gate would be the moment when he retrieved his face from Chu Haoyan.
"If I don't stand up for you, who would stand up for you? Could that Chu Yue possibly stand up for you? She will only implicate you and make you endure humiliation you shouldn't endure, and suffer grievances you shouldn't suffer," Her Lady Queen spoke with her face raised high.
"Okay, okay. I guarantee that I will never endure it anymore, okay?" Chu Feng said.
"Of course not. Not to mention how long you've known her, her personality has a problem to begin with. She knew very well what sort of person you are, yet she still insisted on having you endure the humiliation. She is simply not taking your feelings into consideration at all. She only cared about her own safety. She is a very selfish person," Her Lady Queen said.
"I understand. I've already said that I will not endure things anymore. Milady Queen, stop being angry," Chu Feng said.
"This isn't a question of getting angry or not. Rather, I feel that it isn't worthy. If you were to do this sort of thing for Su Rou, Su Mei or Zi Ling, this Queen would definitely not say anything. I would instead support you. After all, they are worthy for you to do endure the humiliation. However, that Chu Yue is out of the question. She's not worthy at all."
"Oh, that's right. There's also that Chu Ruoshi. You must be careful of her," Her Lady Queen said.
"Chu Ruoshi? What about her?" Chu Feng asked.
"Don't think that she's really helping you just because she spoke for you. She deliberately indicated that you do not possess true ability even though you ascended to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step."
"Before she said anything, Chu Haoyan had never mentioned that sort of thing. Thus, this Queen feels that this is what Chu Ruoshi was thinking in her heart," Her Lady Queen said.
Hearing those words, Chu Feng narrowed his brows. His expression turned cautious.
After hearing Her Lady Queen's warning, Chu Feng also realized that Chu Ruoshi said those words with a different connotation.
"This Chu Heavenly Clan is truly dangerous. It's so difficult to even find a good person among the people of my generation," Chu Feng smiled and sighed.
"Good person? There's one," Her Lady Queen said.
"Who?" Chu Feng asked.
"This Queen felt that Chu Lingxi to be pretty decent. At least, she's not bad," Her Lady Queen said.
"Chu Lingxi, was it?" Chu Feng thought about it. Then, he smiled and said, "That girl is truly weird. She is indeed a bit interesting."
"Help me!!!"
Right at that moment, a call for help sounded from deep within the dark cave.
Hearing that voice, Chu Feng's gaze immediately changed. Then, he released his Divine level Lightning Mark and increased his cultivation so as to increase his speed.
The reason for that was because that shout for help seemed to be Chu Lingxi's voice.

Chapter 2966 - The Embarrassed Chu Lingxi
After unleashing his Divine level Lightning Mark, both Chu Feng's cultivation and speed increased.
However, the situation remained very dangerous for Chu Feng.
The reason why Chu Feng did not activate his Divine level Lightning Mark from the very beginning was because he felt that his earlier speed was just right.
The speed he was traveling at earlier was the fastest speed Chu Feng could travel and guarantee his safety.
The speed with which Chu Feng was traveling at this moment far surpassed his control.
At this speed, Chu Feng's observational ability would not be able to keep up.
The cave was filled with traps. If Chu Feng's observational ability was too weak, it would be very easy for him to become trapped.
However, at that moment, Chu Feng had no heart to concern himself with all those things. The reason for that was because he was practically certain that the shout earlier was Chu Lingxi's voice.
Not only was Chu Lingxi Chu Xuanzhengfa's daughter, but even if Chu Lingxi was unrelated to Chu Xuanzhengfa, Chu Feng would still not ignore her if she was in a crisis.
It was as Her Lady Queen had said, although Chu Lingxi appeared to be arrogant and cold, she was one of the very few good people among the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations.
Chu Feng was truly incapable of ignoring her being in danger.
Fortunately, Chu Feng only traveled for a short while before arriving at the location where the call for help sounded from.
Merely, at that moment, Chu Lingxi's cries for help had grown softer and softer.
The reason for that was because she had fallen into a trap.
That trap was very small. When looking at it from afar, it it seemed to only be a pond, filled with semi-transparent green water.
The pond was very deep, extremely deep.
However, the most frightening aspect regarding the pond was most definitely not how deep it was. Rather, it was that the water in the pond was no ordinary water. Once one fell into the water, one would lose the power to escape. The more one struggled, the weaker one would become. Even someone of Chu Lingxi's cultivation was incapable of contending against the water in the pond.
However, Chu Feng was an Insect Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist. Furthermore, his Heaven's Eyes had also grown stronger. Thus, Chu Feng's observational ability was much stronger than before.
Chu Feng was able to tell with a single glance that while the water in the pond was very powerful, it was actually not fatal. It would only trap its victims. Evidently, Chu Lingxi was currently trapped in the water.
"Putt~~~"
After observing the pond, Chu Feng immediately leaped into the pond water.
After leaping into the water, Chu Lingxi's calls for help grew clearer.
After Chu Feng entered the water, he started diving down directly. Soon, he saw Chu Lingxi. She was struggling, and trying extremely hard to escape the pond.
Unfortunately, she was unable to unleash any of her abilities. Instead, layer upon layer of dark green gaseous flames began to surround her. Not only were the dark green gaseous flames capable of binding its victims, it was also capable of agitating them.
To put it simply, the dark green gaseous flames would affect one's state of mind and make one lose their rationality. With that, one would forever be trapped in the pond.
Chu Lingxi had already lost her rationality. She did not notice that she was still violently struggling, violently shouting for help.
This was the first time Chu Feng had witnessed the proud young miss Chu Lingxi panicking like that.
Truth be told, her panicky appearance was quite adorable. At the very least, it illustrated that she too was human.
That said, Chu Feng also knew very well that it was that dark green gaseous substance that had caused Chu Lingxi to act like that way. Otherwise, a normal Chu Lingxi would definitely not be panicking like that.
After Chu Feng approached Chu Lingxi, he gently pressed his palm on her head. Then, layer upon layer of spirit power was instilled into Chu Lingxi's body.
Chu Feng was helping Chu Lingxi regain her rationality. Only by regaining her rationality would she have a chance to escape from the pond.
The power of the pond's water was extremely strong. If it wasn't for the fact that Chu Feng was an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist, it would truly be very difficult for Chu Feng to help Chu Lingxi.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist.
"Wuu~~~"
With Chu Feng's assistance, Chu Lingxi, who was originally panicking, ended up losing consciousness. However, she soon regained consciousness.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Lingxi was immediately alarmed upon seeing Chu Feng. After all, she was capable of feeling Chu Feng's palm on her head.
Seeing Chu Lingxi trying to forcibly push him aside, Chu Feng hurried said, "Don't move, I'm trying to save you."
Chu Lingxi was quite intelligent. She immediately realized that she had fallen into danger. Furthermore, after Chu Feng appeared, her panicky state of mind had also grown much more alleviated. She determined that Chu Feng was indeed helping her.
Thus, she no longer tried to push Chu Feng aside. However, her charming little face turned apple-red.
"Yoh, girl, you're quite shy," Chu Feng said with a beaming smile.
"Men and women should not have close physical contact at will. If you weren't helping me right now, I would've already chopped your hand off," Chu Lingxi glared at Chu Feng.
"Puu~~~" Hearing those words, Chu Feng was unable to contain himself, and burst out laughing.
Then, he said, "I've only touched your head, how could this be considered close physical contact?"
"The hell do you know?" Chu Lingxi wanted to say something, but then hesitated. She then said, "Finish this quickly."
Seeing Chu Lingxi acting like this, Chu Feng's smile widened. That said, while Chu Feng was smiling, he did not stop the transmission of his spirit power into Chu Lingxi.
With the situation being like that, the dark green gaseous flames that surrounded Chu Lingxi started to gradually vanish.
"Do not oppose it. Follow the undercurrent of the pond water," Chu Feng said.
"If we are to follow the undercurrent, we'll sink," Chu Lingxi said.
"That's right, we have to sink," Chu Feng said.
"Ah?" Chu lingxi was surprised.
"Trust me. It will be absolutely impossible to swim out through the entrance of the pond," Chu Feng said.
"Oh," Chu Lingxi nodded her head reluctantly. However, she did stop resisting the undercurrent.
With the situation being like that, Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi started sinking further down into the pond.
Right at that moment, with a thought from Chu Feng, he began to release his spirit power. Then, he started forming hand seals with his hands. Soon, his spirit power started to change. It turned into a spirit formation that surrounded Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi.
"What is this going to do?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"This will increase our sinking speed," Chu Feng said.
"Oh," Chu Lingxi nodded. However, the expression in her eyes suddenly changed. She cried out in alarm, "This is wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Chu Feng was stunned.
Chu Lingxi turned around and used her clear and beautiful eyes to stare at Chu Feng. She said, "When did you become an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist?"

Chapter 2967 - The Legendary Ten Souls Pearl
"From a coincidental stroke of luck," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"That stroke of luck of yours arrived too quickly, no? You've only just become a Dragon Mark Immortal-cloak World Spiritist not long ago, yet you've already become an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist in the blink of an eye?"
When Chu Lingxi said those words, an expression of envy was fully revealed on her exquisite little face.
It would be strange if she didn't envy Chu Feng. She, together with Chu Feng and Xia Yun'er, had all become Dragon Mark Immortal-cloak World Spiritists together in the Spirit Formation Immortal Domain.
And at present, she was still a Dragon Mark Immortal-cloak World Spiritist. Furthermore, she felt very content to be able to become a Dragon Mark Immortal-cloak World Spiritist at her age.
Never would she have ever thought that Chu Feng had become an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist already.
While there was only a difference of a single word between Immortal-cloak and Exalted-cloak, everyone knew how enormous the disparity between the two was.
With Chu Lingxi's proud personality, how could she not be envious of Chu Feng?
Unable to contain herself, Chu Lingxi asked, "Where did you encounter the opportunity to make your breakthrough to Exalted-cloak?"
"Tell me who pushed you into this trap first," Chu Feng said all of a sudden.
Chu Lingxi was immediately startled upon hearing Chu Feng's question.
Her reaction confirmed Chu Feng's guess.
Chu Lingxi was, after all, a Dragon Mark Immortal-cloak World Spiritist. Her cultivation was not weak either. With her perception and strength, it would be impossible for her to fall into such a trap.
However, she did fall into the trap. This could only mean two things.
One, Chu Lingxi had jumped into the trap herself.
Two, someone had deliberately pushed Chu Lingxi into the trap.
With the situation at hand, it was most definitely the latter.
"This matter is unrelated to you."
To Chu Feng's surprise, Chu Lingxi actually responded a moment after being momentarily startled.
Her response practically confirmed Chu Feng's guess that someone pushed her into the trap.
However, it seemed that Chu Lingxi was unwilling to tell Chu Feng who that person was.
"I truly couldn't tell that you, girl, possessed quite a decent character. Even though you've been harmed by someone, you're still unwilling to talk behind their back."
"Not bad, not bad. I now have a whole new level of respect for you," Chu Feng started praising Chu Lingxi.
"Yoh, so you also know how to flatter someone?" Chu Lingxi rolled her eyes.
"Indeed, I dare to boot-lick. However, I wouldn't dare to boot-lick you," Chu Feng took a glance at Chu Lingxi's leg as he said those words.
[1. Flattering/boot-lick in chinese is 'slap horse's buttocks.' So Chu Feng is saying 'while I dare to slap a horse's ass, I wouldn't dare to slap yours.']
"You..."
"Pervert."
Chu Lingxi's calmed face once again turned deep red. Her angry appearance was extremely cute.
While Chu Lingxi was someone who had trained in martial cultivation for some time now, she still maintained her innocence like a young girl.
"How am I a pervert? You were the one to ridicule me, yet you don't want me to reply? If that were the case, you'd be truly too tyrannical, no?" Chu Feng said.
"Humph, this young lady will not bother to quarrel with a pervert," Chu Lingxi turned around proudly.
"You're really not going to tell me who pushed you into the trap?" Chu Feng continued to ask.
However, Chu Lingxi only ignored him.
"That said, even if you don't tell me, I am still able to guess who it is," Chu Feng said.
"Is that so?" Once Chu Feng said those words, Chu Lingxi instead grew interested. She asked, "Then tell me, who was it?"
"It was Chu Ruoshi, right?" Chu Feng asked.
Once Chu Feng said those words, Chu Lingxi's beautiful eyes moved. Evidently, she had not expected Chu Feng to guess this accurately. Then, she said, "Tell me the basis of your guess."
"You entered first. She entered after you. With her strength, she is capable of catching up to you. However, Chu Huanyu and Chu Haoyan would not be able to catch up to you."
"It is not that Chu Huanyu and Chu Haoyan are weak. Instead, it is that their observational abilities are not strong enough."
"In a place like this with traps and dangers all over, they would be restricted because their observational abilities are insufficient. Thus, the only person that is capable of pushing you into this trap is Chu Ruoshi," Chu Feng said.
"That's actually very simple. It's not hard to guess at all," Chu Lingxi raised her face proudly.
"What I want to know is why she did that. What benefit is there for her in doing this?" Chu Feng asked.
"Of course there are benefits. Do you know why we decided to enter the Death Gate even though there's a Life Gate we can take?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"Actually, I have no idea why we needed to enter the Death Gate," Chu Feng shook his head.
"You don't know the difference between the Life and Death Gates?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"I don't," Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders.
"The Life Gate is very safe. Apart from being a bit difficult to traverse, there are practically no dangers at all."
"However, those that enter the Life Gate will be restricted to the rankings. Only by quickly exiting the Life Gate will they be able to pass the Sacred Domain Selection. Those that rank toward the end will be eliminated."
"As for the Death Gate, it is very dangerous. However, as long as one is capable of walking out of the Death Gate, regardless of how long it takes, one will have successfully passed the Sacred Domain Selection," Chu Lingxi explained.
Hearing till this point, Chu Feng interrupted, "But, with your strengths, you will definitely be the fastest to pass even if you are to enter the Life Gate. Logically, there's no need for you all to enter the Death Gate. Thus, there is another reason as to why you all decided to enter the Death Gate."
"There are treasures here. There was a treasure above this trap too." Chu Lingxi said.
"I understand now. So she attacked you in order to take the treasure," Chu Feng spread his hands and then said to Her Lady Queen, "My Eggy, you are truly the amazing one. That Chu Ruoshi is indeed not as good and honest as she appeared to be."
"Of course. This Queen's intuition is extremely sharp. However, judging by Chu Lingxi's behavior, it seems that she was not surprised by Chu Ruoshi attacking her. It would appear that she already knew what sort of character Chu Lingxi had," Her Lady Queen said.
"Mn, speaking of Chu Lingxi, I feel that she is a pretty decent girl the more I get to know her. Even though Chu Ruoshi harmed her, she did not say anything bad about Chu Ruoshi at all," Chu Feng said.
"Indeed, she's pretty decent. How about you take her as your wife?" Her Lady Queen said with a mischievous smile.
Hearing those words, black lines rolled down Chu Feng's forehead. He did not have that sort of feeling toward Chu Lingxi.
However, right at that moment, Chu Feng's expression suddenly changed. He then turned his gaze downward.
He was already able to see the bottom of the pond. However, what caught Chu Feng's attention was a black pearl at the bottom of the pond.
Not only was that pearl emitting a dazzling radiance, but ten beasts were surrounding that pearl.
Those ten beasts were each over a hundred meters long. While their appearances differed, they were all extremely fierce.
They were like guardians protecting that black pearl.
Right at that moment, Chu Lingxi shouted in surprise. "Heavens! That's the legendary Ten Souls Pearl!!!"

Chapter 2968 - Kill Without Discussion
"Ten Souls Pearl? What's that?" Chu Feng asked.
"You don't even know about the Ten Souls Pearl?" Chu Lingxi was surprised by Chu Feng's question.
"If you don't mind, can you tell me what it is?" Chu Feng said with a smile on his face. Seeing Chu Lingxi's surprised expression, Chu Feng knew that she must know the Ten Souls Pearl very well.
Faced with Chu Feng's question, Chu Lingxi sighed helplessly. Then, she asked, "Did your father never mention anything to you before? How come you don't know anything at all?"
"I have only met my father once in my entire life. Due to certain circumstances, I was not brought up by my father," Chu Feng said.
Hearing those words, Chu Lingxi's eyes shifted slightly. She seemed to have understood something.
Thus, she asked no more, and no longer tried to ridicule Chu Feng either. Instead, she began to tell Chu Feng about the Ten Souls Pearl.
When mentioning the Ten Souls Pearl, one must begin at the site of the Sacred Domain Selection.
This place was originally called the Life and Death Treasure Ground. It was constructed through the joint efforts of the Chu Heavenly Clan's Old Ancestor Chu Yetianhong and many powerful world spiritists.
Chu Yetianhong hid many treasures in there. One of the most precious treasures was the Ten Souls Pearl.
The Ten Souls Pearl would provide enormous assistance to possessors of Heavenly Lightning Bloodlines. This was especially true for people that trained in the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Technique; they would be able to unleash its power to the pinnacle.
However, even after all these years had passed, even though many people of the various generations since then had entered, even though many people had discovered treasures in there, no one had found any trace of the Ten Souls Pearl.
Gradually, the treasures grew fewer and fewer. The crowd began to feel that all of the treasures left behind by the Old Ancestor had been retrieved. Because of this, it was no longer a place that people of the younger generation looked forward to entering.
That said, due its special construction, it was capable of being used as a special means of selection. Because of that, it was made the place to hold the younger generation's Sacred Domain Selection.
Suddenly, Chu Lingxi said, "No, someone discovered the Ten Souls Pearl before,"
"Someone discovered the Ten Souls Pearl before? Why would it be here then?" Chu Feng was surprised.
"That's because that person said that the Ten Souls Pearl was useless to him. Thus, he put it back."
"Because of that, back then and even now, many people felt that that person was boasting," Chu Lingxi said.
"Saying that sort of thing would indeed make others think that he's boasting," Chu Feng smiled.
"However, I've heard... that person seems to be your grandfather," Chu Lingxi said.
Hearing those words, black lines immediately ran down Chu Feng's forehead. He thought to himself, 'seems like my grandfather is also one to not travel the normal road.'
However, upon finding out that it was his grandfather, Chu Feng hurriedly said, "Then that's definitely not boasting then."
"You're quite confident in your grandfather," Chu Lingxi said.
"My confidence originates from my blood," Chu Feng said.
"Actually, I really didn't believe it before. However, I believe it now," Chu Lingxi said.
"Why's that?" Chu Feng asked.
"After all, you've also found this place, no?" Chu Lingxi said.
"In that case, it would mean that this Ten Souls Pearl is useless for my Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique?" There were two reasons why Chu Feng asked this question.
Chu Lingxi had mentioned that the Ten Souls Pearl was helpful toward possessors of Heavenly Lightning Bloodlines. However, they must have trained in the Self-Punishment Mysterious Technique, and fused with their Self-Punishment Mysterious Technique.
The Ten Souls Pearl would be enormously helpful for both people that trained in the Mortal Punishment Mysterious Technique and Earthen Punishment Mysterious Technique.
As for people who practiced Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Techniques, they would be able to unleash the power of the Ten Souls Pearl to the extreme. However, she did not mention the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique.
However, Chu Feng's grandfather had once obtained the Ten Souls Pearl, yet ended up returning it to its original place. This very possibly illustrated that the Ten Souls Pearl was useless for users of the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique.
"Regarding this... I am uncertain. However, your grandfather said one thing before. Do you wish to know what he said?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"Naturally," Chu Feng said.
"I only heard about this myself. I am not certain as to whether it was really said by your grandfather. However, according to rumors, your grandfather said, 'The Ten Souls Pearl is unqualified to fuse with the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique,'" Chu Lingxi said.
"Those words sound like something my grandfather said," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"You've met your grandfather before?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"Of course not," Chu Feng said.
"Then why are you acting like you know your grandfather's character?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"That's because he's my grandfather," Chu Feng said with a beaming smile. Then, he cast his gaze to the Ten Souls Pearl below. "It seems like you want to obtain it very much. I will help you."
"You'll help me? That Ten Souls Pearl is not that easily obtainable. Do you see those ten guardian beasts? Have a feel of their strength. We are no match for them. Unless our cultivation reaches the Heavenly Immortal Realm, we are simply unable to defeat them. As long as we're unable to defeat them, we will not be able to obtain the Ten Souls Pearl."
"However, that doesn't matter anymore. After all, I now know where the Ten Souls Pearl is located. Furthermore, I will definitely become a Heavenly Immortal before I turn one hundred. It would be the same for me to return and retrieve it at that time," Chu Lingxi said.
"We are clearly able to retrieve it now, why must we wait till then?" Chu Feng said.
"Do you not understand what I just said? We are not capable of retrieving that Ten Souls Pearl right now," Chu Lingxi said.
"In that case, what if I manage to retrieve it?" Chu Feng asked.
"You have a way to retrieve it?" Chu Lingxi was very surprised. However, Chu Feng was not acting like he was joking. Thus, she said, "Let me remind you that if something is to happen to you, do not implicate me."
"It would do for you to just stay here and watch," As Chu Feng spoke, he left his spirit formation. Then, he followed the undercurrent and continued to approach the Ten Souls Pearl.
Seemingly sensing that someone had approached, the guardian beasts guarding the Ten Souls Peal all unleashed their boundless auras.
Most frighteningly of all, they had already opened their enormous eyes that were filled with murderous desire and staring at Chu Feng.
Their gazes were simply too frightening. It was as if they were warning Chu Feng that if he dared to come any closer, they would kill him without discussion.

Chapter 2969 - Mockery And Ridicule
At that moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the aura of death had enveloped Chu Feng.
This was most definitely not a simple warning. Those ten guardian beasts really did possess the power to kill Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, you've awakened them. Quickly, return!"
"None of the traps and mechanisms here are fatal. However, the Ten Souls Pearl is an exception. The Ten Souls Pearl's guardian beasts will really end up killing you!" Chu Lingxi shouted at Chu Feng nervously upon seeing that the Ten Souls Pearl's guardian beasts had been awakened.
However, right at that moment, Chu Feng suddenly opened his palm. Immediately, a net of light emerged from his palm. The net started to rapidly increase in size. In the blink of an eye, the net actually completely enveloped the ten guardian beasts that were each more than a hundred meters long.
After the enormous net of light enveloped the guardian beasts, it actually started to assimilate into the guardian beasts' bodies.
"Roar~~~"
At that moment, the ten guardian beasts all let out enormously resounding roars. Ripples began to form, even in that special pond water.
Right at that moment, Chu Feng began to form hand seals. Then, he lightly shouted, "Formation, activate."
The enormous spirit formation net that had assimilated with the guardian beasts' bodies actually began to let out bright light once again. With this, those furious and roaring guardian beasts were caught in a struggle.
"That is... a hypnosis formation?"
Chu Lingxi's expression changed upon seeing that scene.
As a world spiritist herself, she was capable of telling that what Chu Feng had just used was a hypnosis formation.
Chu Feng was trying to hypnotize the ten guardian beasts using his hypnosis formation, and then retrieve the Ten Souls Pearl.
However, those ten guardian beasts were very powerful. Would Chu Feng really be able to hypnotize them?
Chu Lingxi started to doubt Chu Feng. However, she no longer said anything. She was trying to not affect Chu Feng's concentration because she was able to tell that Chu Feng was extremely focused on operating his spirit formation.
Once Chu Feng began, he actually spent an entire hour with the beasts.
After an hour passed, those ten guardian beasts finally closed their eyes and fell asleep.
As for Chu Feng, he immediately set up another spirit formation that increased his speed underwater. Soon, he arrived before the Ten Souls Pearl.
At the moment when Chu Feng grabbed the Ten Souls Pearl, those ten guardian beasts immediately turned into ten streams of gas that assimilated into the Ten Souls Pearl.
At that moment, the Ten Souls Pearl started to glimmer. There were ten gaseous substances spiraling inside it.
"So this is actually the original form of the Ten Souls Pearl," Chu Feng smiled.
"Heavens, you actually really accomplished it?" Chu Lingxi looked to the Ten Souls Pearl Chu Feng held in his hand with disbelief on her face.
"I guess this could be considered luck too. While those ten guardian beasts were very powerful, they were, nevertheless, not actual living beings. Thus, it was easier to hypnotize them. If they were all living beings, that hypnosis formation of mine would have been ineffective," As Chu Feng spoke, he tossed the Ten Souls Pearl to Chu Lingxi. He said, "Here, take it."
"You're really giving it to me?" As Chu Lingxi saw the Ten Souls Pearl that was tossed toward her, surprise filled her eyes.
"It's useless to me, why would I keep it? Just take it," Chu Feng said with a smile.
Chu Lingxi did not hesitate too much, and soon accepted the Ten Souls Pearl. After all, she really did want and need the Ten Souls Pearl very much.
"I owe you one," Chu Lingxi said after receiving the Ten Souls Pearl.
"You've already repaid me. After all, your father saved my life," Chu Feng said.
"What you owe him is his, whereas what I owe you is mine," Chu Lingxi said.
At that moment, Chu Feng noticed that the girl's clear eyes were filled with incomparable determination.
She was not just saying those words. She was actually thinking that way.
"Do as you wish. However, right now, we should quickly leave this place," Chu Feng said.
Then, Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi continued to travel down through the pond following its undercurrent. Finally, they discovered a spirit formation gate.
When they exited the spirit formation gate, Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi returned to a location across from the pond trap.
When they looked back, they were only able to see a wall. The spirit formation gate had disappeared.
Chu Feng looked to Chu Lingxi and asked with a beaming smile, "What's wrong? We've escaped from the trap, why are you unhappy?"
He discovered that Chu Lingxi currently had an ashamed and guilty expression on her face.
"If you didn't save me, you wouldn't have lost to Chu Haoyan," Chu Lingxi said.
"You're talking about the match between me and Chu Haoyan? It's fine, I can always win it back. Let's go," Chu Feng said.
Chu Lingxi was startled to see how unconcerned Chu Feng was. Then, a rare smile emerged on her exquisite little face.
Her smile was very charming. It was like a blossom from the world's purest flower. Looking at that smile, one would surely start to drool.
The rest of their journey was very smooth. Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi quickly exited the so-called Death Gate.
However, right after exiting the Death Gate, Chu Feng immediately heard unpleasant remarks.
Several people were gathered near the Death Gate's exit. Those were all participants in the Sacred Domain Selection.
They were currently discussing Chu Feng.
"After that Chu Feng ascended to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step, I'd thought that he would become our Chu Heavenly Clan's number one genius. However, who would've expected that he would not dare to even do anything after being insulted by Chu Haoyan like that. It would appear that he is nowhere near as exceptional as he was rumored to be."
"That's right, the rumors had it that Chu Feng was completely fearless. However, he immediately grew afraid upon seeing Chu Haoyan. The rumors truly cannot be trusted."
Those people were currently mocking and ridiculing Chu Feng with expressions of schadenfreude.
"The hell do you all know?! Can't you tell that it was because of Chu Yue that Chu Feng didn't do anything to Chu Haoyan?!" Right at that moment, a sharp shout was heard. It was Chu Lingxi.
Chu Lingxi's sudden shout not only startled those people discussing Chu Feng, she also caused everyone in their surroundings to turn their attention towards her.

Chapter 2970 - Feeling Jealous
"Ehh… lil-little brother Chu Feng, w-we had no intention of attacking you, w-we were just, just…"
Upon seeing Chu Lingxi and Chu Feng, those few people immediately started panicking. They stammered as they tried to explain themselves.
Although they were deeply mocking Chu Feng earlier, it could be seen from their reactions that, deep down in their hearts, they were extremely afraid of Chu Feng.
"Because of Chu Yue?" Right at that moment, a sneer was heard. It was Chu Haoyan.
It was not only Chu Haoyan who had walked over. Practically all the others that had participated in the Sacred Domain Selection walked over.
Apart from them were many other people that had not participated in the Sacred Domain Selection.
In fact, even Chu Huanyu and Chu Ruoshi were watching it all from a distance.
"How could you not know whether or not it's because of Chu Yue?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"Humph, you're speaking as if that Chu Feng could do anything to me if it wasn't for Chu Yue."
"With his cultivation, how could he possibly be a match for me? He knew very well that he would only bring about his own disgrace should he try to attack me. That is why he endured my insults. In fact… enduring my insults is all he's capable of doing," Chu Haoyan said his final sentence while pointing at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng smiled lightly at Chu Haoyan's insult. It was a smile filled with contempt.
Seeing Chu Feng actually smiling so disdainfully, Chu Haoyao shouted angrily, "The hell are you smiling at?!"
"I am smiling at you being so overly conceited that you don't even know that you're pitifully weak," Chu Feng said.
"What did you say?! You dare call me weak?!"
"Come! Let the two of us go head-to-head and see exactly who is strong and who is weak!" Chu Haoyan began to quickly walk toward Chu Feng as he spoke.
At the same time, he unleashed his rank seven True Immortal aura.
He was not joking around. He was really planning to attack Chu Feng.
"Rumble~~~"
Right at that moment, lightning suddenly started moving as black clouds filled the sky. Chu Lingxi's skirt shifted, and her hair fluttered. Like a raging fairy with the cultivation of a rank seven True Immortal, she arrived before Chu Feng.
"Lingxi, what is this? You're planning to protect this Chu Feng?" Chu Haoyan asked.
He was feeling very surprised. He was surprised that Chu Lingxi, who refused to acknowledge anyone and seemingly never considered them her relatives, would actually stand up for Chu Feng.
"To bully the weak is no ability at all. If you want to fight someone, you should fight someone with the same cultivation as your own. If you insist on fighting, why don't you fight with me?" Chu Lingxi said.
Once Chu Lingxi said those words, everyone present was surprised.
The always cold Chu Lingxi who never got along with anyone was really going to protect that Chu Feng.
Hearing those words, Chu Haoyan started to frown. He was afraid. While he might not be afraid of Chu Lingxi, he was definitely afraid of someone related to Chu Lingxi.
Thus, he did not accept Chu Lingxi's challenge. Instead, he looked to Chu Feng and said, "Chu Feng, are you planning to hide behind a woman?"
"Enough," right at that moment, Chu Ruoshi spoke.
Furthermore, as she spoke, she leaped. Like a celestial fairy, she descended between Chu Lingxi and Chu Haoyan.
At the moment she landed, the black clouds in the sky scattered. The lightning also gradually vanished. Even Chu Lingxi and Chu Haoyan's auras were dispersed.
It was suppression. Chu Ruoshi used her rank eight True Immortal-level strength to forcibly suppress both Chu Lingxi and Chu Haoyan's auras.
"What happened here today shall be dropped at this moment. If anyone still insists on picking a fight, they must first pass through me, Chu Ruoshi," when Chu Ruoshi said those words, she deliberately took a glance at Chu Haoyan.
"Humph," Chu Haoyan snorted coldly. Then, he took a step back. He knew that he would be no match for Chu Ruoshi.
"In the end, I've won," Chu Haoyan looked to Chu Feng.
"What have you won?" Chu Feng asked.
"I exited the Death Gate first. Have you forgotten about our match?" Chu Haoyan pointed at Chu Feng.
"Hah…" Hearing those words, Chu Feng laughed. His laughter was even more disdainful than his smile from earlier.
"You still dare to laugh? What qualification do you possess to laugh? You are nothing more than a loser, what makes you think you can laugh?" Rage burned in Chu Haoyan's eyes.
Very few people of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generation dared to act in such a manner toward him. He was incapable of tolerating someone acting like this toward him.
"Chu Haoyan, you should stop going too far. If it wasn't for the fact that he stopped to help me, Chu Feng might not necessarily have lost to you," Chu Lingxi said.
"Help you?" Chu Haoyan laughed mockingly. Then, he said, "The way I see it, you were the one helping him, no? For the sake of helping him conceal his uselessness, you actually waited so long to come out. Chu Lingxi, you are truly capable. I truly have no idea what aspect of this Chu Feng is capable of attracting you so much, capable of making someone like you help someone like him."
There was a trace of jealousy in Chu Haoyan's tone as he said those words.
Although the people of the Chu Heavenly Clan all belonged to the same clan, there were many branch families. These branch families were capable of intermarrying with one another.
Chu Ruoshi and Chu Lingxi were the most outstanding young females in the Chu Heavenly Clan. Thus, they were the most optimal candidates for a spouse in the eyes of countless males, Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu included.
Unfortunately, Chu Ruoshi already possessed a childhood sweetheart. Although her childhood sweetheart's cultivation could not be considered to be top-notch among the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations, the two of them possessed excellent affection for one another, and their marriage was practically determined since they were kids.
Because of this, Chu Lingxi became the most ideal candidate for the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generation's males.
However, although Chu Lingxi was a weird person, she was also extremely cold, and would always keep her distance from others.
Because of that, the people all felt that was Chu Lingxi's personality.
However, Chu Lingxi was now actually protecting Chu Feng like that in front of them.
Not to mention Chu Haoyan, many of the younger generation's males were all feeling jealousy and even hatred toward Chu Feng.

"Indeed, Chu Feng helped me. That said, I did not take so long to come out without a reason. This... is the reason."
As Chu Lingxi spoke, her palm streaked across her Cosmos Sack. The next moment, the Ten Souls Pearl appeared in her lily-white hand.
"That is... the Ten Souls Pearl?!"
Upon seeing the Ten Souls Pearl, the people present, including Chu Huanyu and Chu Ruoshi, who were looking at the proceedings from afar, had a change in their expressions.
The Ten Souls Pearl was a clan-protection treasure of the Chu Heavenly Clan. Although the Ten Souls Pearl had been placed in the Chu Heavenly Clan's Death Gate many years by their Old Ancestor Chu Yetianhong, there were many records of it and its appearance.
Thus, practically all of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations knew of its usage and what it looked like.
"Is that really the Ten Souls Pearl? The two of you found the Ten Souls Pearl in the Death Gate?" At that moment, even Chu Huanyu, who had been quiet the entire time was unable to keep himself from coming over.
One must know that the Ten Souls Pearl was enormously beneficial to them.
"It's impossible for it to be real," Chu Haoyan said.
"Of course it's real," Chu Lingxi said.
"That's impossible. No one has discovered the Ten Souls Pearl even after so many years, how could you two have discovered it?" Chu Haoyan asked.
"That's true, it's been many years, and so many seniors have entered the Death Gate, yet none of them managed to find it. However, my apologies, it just so happened to be discovered by Chu Feng and I," Chu Lingxi said.
Right at that moment, Chu Ruoshi spoke, "Even if the two of you discovered it, it should be impossible for you to be able to subdue the Ten Souls Pearl with the strength that you possess,"
Furthermore, she then turned to the crowd and spoke loudly, "Everyone knows that the Ten Souls Pearl possesses ten guardian beasts. Those ten guardian beasts are extremely powerful; only Heavenly Immortal-level experts would be able to subdue them."
"Back then, Old Ancestor placed the Ten Souls Pearl in the Death Gate because he hoped for an outstanding descendant to be able to inherit his legacy. Not only would that descendant need to possess sharp observational ability, but they must also be extremely talented. At the very least, they would need to be a Peak True Immortal-level expert before they reached a hundred years of age."
After saying those words, Chu Ruoshi looked to Chu Lingxi and Chu Feng. "However, for the two of you, not to mention the Heavenly Immortal realm, you're not even peak True Immortals."
"That's right, with their strength, it's impossible for them to subdue the Ten Souls Pearl."
After being instigated by Chu Ruoshi, many people began to look at Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi with gazes of contempt.
They had all determined that Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi were lying, that the Ten Souls Pearl was fake, and that they were doing all this so as to provide an excuse for exiting the Death Gate so slowly.
"That Ten Souls Pearl is real," right at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded. At that moment a figure appeared in the sky.
Upon seeing that figure, many of the people present closed their mouths and did not dare to utter another word of contempt.
The reason for that was because that person was Chu Lingxi's father, the Law Enforcement Hall's Vice Hall Master, Chu Xuanzhengfa.
"Senior Zhengfa, are you certain that that Ten Souls Pearl is real?" Chu Ruoshi asked.
She seemed to be very unwilling to believe that Ten Souls Pearl to be real.
The reason for that was because their Old Ancestor had said that if anyone discovered the Ten Souls Pearl in the Death Gate, they would be able to fuse with it. Once they fused with it, the Ten Souls Pearl would belong to that person.
And now, before all of them, the Ten Souls Pearl was in Chu Lingxi's hand. This meant that the Ten Souls Pearl already belonged to Chu Lingxi. If that Ten Souls Pearl was real, then with Chu Lingxi's talent, she would definitely be able to surpass her sooner or later after fusing with the Ten Souls pearl.
As such, she would naturally not be willing to believe the Ten Souls Pearl to be real.
"Lingxi, hand the Ten Souls Pearl to me," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
After Chu Xuanzhengfa said that, Chu Lingxi raised her hand and tossed the Ten Souls Pearl to Chu Xuanzhengfa in the sky.
However, at the moment when the Ten Souls Pearl was about to reach him, Chu Xuanzhengfa suddenly opened his palm. Then, a strange sort of power assimilated into the Ten Souls Pearl.
"Roar~~~"
The next moment, ten bodies of gaseous substances shot out of the Ten Souls Pearl. Once the ten gaseous substances appeared, they immediately turned into ten enormous beasts, each more than a hundred meters long
Not only were they all extremely ferocious, but they were all emitting very powerful auras. Their auras were so powerful that they caused the expressions of all the younger generations present to change.
The reason for that was because those ten ferocious beasts were things that none of them could contend against.
"Is anyone capable of subduing them?" Chu Xuanzhengfa cast his gaze downward. He deliberately looked at Chu Huanyu, Chu Haoyan and Chu Ruoshi.
At that moment, the crowd all shook their heads. They had all realized how powerful those ten enormous beasts were. How could they possibly attempt to subdue them still?
"I'll try," right at that moment, someone actually really wanted to try taking on the ten enormous beasts. It was Chu Huanyu.
As Chu Huanyu spoke, he unleashed his rank seven True Immortal aura. At the same time, a Lightning Mark appeared on his forehead. That Lightning Mark actually read 'Heaven.'
Chu Huanyu actually trained in the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Technique.
After his Heaven level Lightning Mark appeared, Chu Huanyu's cultivation actually increased from rank seven True Immortal to rank eight True Immortal.
"The Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Technique actually possesses the same effect as the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique?" Her Lady Queen was very astonished. At the same time, she was feeling very displeased. She felt that it was very unfair for Chu Feng.
How much had Chu Feng had invested in order to train in the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique? With the descent of every Divine Tribulation, Chu Feng would suffer a pain that no ordinary person could endure.
However, what Chu Feng was capable of accomplishing after training in the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique was actually something that Chu Huanyu, someone who trained in the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Technique, was also capable of accomplishing. Naturally, Her Lady Queen would feel that it was very unfair for Chu Feng.
However, compared to Her Lady Queen, Chu Feng was very calm. He knew that there was an enormous disparity between the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Technique and the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique.
Perhaps the disparity was still not obvious at the True Immortal realm. However, the disparity between the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique and the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Technique would definitely be made clear one day.
It was like how Chu Feng was only one among many geniuses in the Nine Provinces Continent back then.
Yet now, he was adventuring through the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm, whereas those people of the younger generation that had contended against him in the Nine Provinces Continent could only remain in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm.
Not to mention the Upper Realms, they would not even be able to reach the Ordinary Realms.
As for people like Chu Huanyu and Chu Haoyan, while they might be heavenly-beloved demon-level geniuses in the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm, Chu Feng firmly believed that he would one day cast them far behind.
The reason for that was purely because Chu Feng had trained in the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique.

Chapter 2972 - Father's Shadow
"Boom~~~"
At that moment, martial power surged about as heaven and earth trembled.
Two Incomplete Immortal Armaments appeared in Chu Huanyu's hands.
At that moment, Chu Huanyu's aura increased once again.
In fact, he even unleashed an Immortal Technique that covered his body with lightning, making him appear to be invincible.
"Bang~~~"
Suddenly, a loud sound was heard. Chu Huanyu soared into the sky. Once he reached the sky, the two Incomplete Immortal Armaments in his hand slashed forth simultaneously in a cross. His attack swept through space itself, shattering it in the process, as they shot toward the ferocious beasts..
"Bang~~~"
However, when the attack approached, one of the ten ferocious beasts swept its tail, and Chu Huanyu's attack was easily neutralized.
"Roar~~~"
Following that, that ferocious beast opened its mouth and a sound wave visible to the naked eye shot toward Chu Huanyu.
At that moment, Chu Huanyu's expression turned ashen. He knew very well that if that sound wave were to hit him, he would likely be completely annihilated.
"Buzz~~~"
However, right when the sound wave was about to hit Chu Huanyu, it suddenly disappeared.
It was Chu Xuanzhengfa. Chu Xuanzhengfa had neutralized the sound wave.
Not only had Chu Xuanzhengfa neutralized the sound wave, but he also used a special method to pacify the ferocious beast that had attacked Chu Huanyu.
"Thank you senior," Chu Huanyu clasped his fist.
Chu Xuanzhengfa smiled lightly after hearing Chu Huanyu's thanks. Then, he looked to Chu Haoyan and Chu Ruoshi. "Is there anyone else that wishes to take on the ten guardian beasts? Rest assured, with me here, those ten guardian beasts will not be able to harm you all."
However, even though Chu Xuanzhengfa declared that, no one was willing to take on the challenge. None of them wanted to disgrace themselves.
"Well then, is there anyone else who suspects this Ten Souls Pearl to be fake?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked.
The crowd lowered their heads silently. As matters stood, only a fool would now think the Ten Souls Pearl to be fake.
"Chu Feng, Lingxi, in that case, how did the two of you manage to subdue the Ten Souls Pearl?" Chu Xuanzhengfa looked to Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi.
"That's right, how did the two of them accomplish that?"
Once Chu Xuanzhengfa asked that question, everyone's gaze turned to Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi.
"I didn't do anything. Chu Feng was the one who helped me subdue the Ten Souls Pearl," Chu Lingxi said.
"Oh?" Hearing those words, the smile on Chu Xuanzhengfa's face grew even stronger. He turned to Chu Feng and asked, "Chu Feng, was that what happened?"
"Senior Zhengfa, that is correct," Chu Feng nodded.
"In that case, is it possible for you to attempt it again so that we can understand how you did it?" Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"Of course," Chu Feng nodded again.
Then, Chu Feng began to set up his hypnosis formation. It was the same as the time when he was in the Death Gate's pond. Chu Feng spent an entire hour to finish hypnotizing the ten guardian beasts.
Then, before the crowd's eyes, he bypassed the ten guardian beasts and grabbed the Ten Souls Pearl with his hand.
The next moment, the ten guardian beasts turned into ten streams of gaseous substances and assimilated into the Ten Souls Pearl, returning it to a complete state.
"He… he actually really accomplished it. Furthermore, he did it by relying on a spirit formation."
"That's not what's important. What's important is that Chu Feng's world spirit techniques have actually already reached Exalted-cloak. He has actually become an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist at such a young age."
Upon personally witnessing Chu Feng's world spirit techniques, those Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations that did not know Chu Feng well finally had a whole new level of respect toward him.
It was only at that moment that they realized that Chu Feng didn't possess an undeserved reputation. At the very least, he had accomplished something that was impossible for Chu Huanyu using world spirit techniques.
Furthermore, everyone knew that among the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations, Chu Huanyu and Chu Haoyan were very close in strength.
At the moment when the crowd were astonished, Chu Feng flew back down and arrived beside Chu Lingxi. He once again handed her the Ten Souls Pearl.
"He actually really ended up handing the Ten Souls Pearl to Chu Lingxi just like that."
"That's simply too magnanimous, no? That's the Ten Souls Pearl, something extremely beneficial to possessors of Heavenly Lightning Bloodlines," the crowd were all very puzzled by Chu Feng's action, as his action had simply surpassed their level of understanding.
"Chu Feng, do you understand what that Ten Souls Pearl does?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked.
"I do," Chu Feng said.
"Since you do, why did you hand the Ten Souls Pearl to Lingxi instead of using it yourself?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked.
"Senior, did you know that this Ten Souls Pearl had already been discovered by someone many years ago?" Chu Feng asked.
"I do. That person was your grandfather, Lord Chu Hanxian," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"My grandfather declared that the Ten Souls Pearl was unqualified to fuse with the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique," Chu Feng said.
"This!!!" Once Chu Feng said those words, he immediately brought forth a massive commotion.
Not only was the Ten Souls Pearl a clan-protection treasure of their Chu Heavenly Clan, but it was also a divine artifact that they yearned after. They would naturally feel very uncomfortable hearing Chu Feng insult the Ten Souls Pearl in such a manner.
"What my grandfather said is a bit excessive," Chu Feng added.
After he said those words, the crowd's uncomfortable hearts eased greatly.
They thought to themselves, 'In the end, it was Chu Feng's grandfather's remark. Even if it's excessive, it's unrelated to Chu Feng.'
However, to their surprise, Chu Feng spoke again, "However, when the Ten Souls Pearl really ended up in my hand, I discovered that what my grandfather said is correct. While the Ten Souls Pearl is very powerful, it is indeed unqualified to fuse with the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique."
At that moment, the crowd was dumbfounded. They had an expression as if they had been fed dog shit.
Only Chu Xuanzhengfa smiled lightly. He was actually feeling very gratified to see Chu Feng acting like this. The reason for that was because… Chu Feng was acting just like Chu Xuanyuan back then.
To continue in one's own way with no care for other's gazes, yet still possessing a sense of righteousness stronger than anyone else.

Chapter 2973 - Teach You Resistance
"Lingxi, are you willing to fuse with the Ten Souls Pearl now?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked.
"Father, am I able to fuse with it now?" Hearing those words, Chu Lingxi's eyes simply started shining. She would naturally want to fuse with the Ten Souls Pearl right away.
"Father can help you. If you do not mind, we can start right here," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"Here? Is that possible?" Chu Lingxi was very astonished. While she wanted to fuse with the Ten Souls Pearl quickly, she had truly never imagined fusing with it before all those people.
"Yes, it's possible. Father can help you," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"Very well, what's there to wait for then, quickly, help me," Chu Lingxi was extremely excited.
After that, Chu Xuanzhengfa began to help Chu Lingxi fuse with the Ten Souls Pearl.
The process was extremely magnificent. The sky was covered with surging lightning. It was simply even more astonishing than ordinary abnormal signs.
With the situation being like this, many people in the Chu Heavenly Clan noticed, and same over.
When the crowd found out that Chu Lingxi was currently fusing with the Ten Souls Pearl, and that it was Chu Feng who had helped Chu Lingxi obtain the Ten Souls Pearl, they were all enormously astonished.
That said, when Chu Feng became the focus of the crowd, he had arrived at Chu Yue's side.
He discovered that Chu Yue had never joined the crowd. She was kneeling in the corner and crying.
"Big sis Chu Yue, what's wrong?" Chu Feng asked.
"Little brother Chu Feng, I'm sorry, I'm truly too useless," Chu Feng's arrival caused Chu Yue to cry even more.
"Did you fail?" Chu Feng asked.
"Mn," Chu Yue nodded.
Seeing this, Chu Feng originally wanted to comfort Chu Yue. However, at the moment when he wanted to speak, a voice transmission entered his ears.
"Little brother Chu Feng, can you hear me?"
Chu Feng turned his gaze. A man was standing several thousand meters away from Chu Feng.
"I can hear you, is there something you need from me?" Chu Feng asked.
"I will secretly tell you one thing. However, you absolutely must not tell anyone that it is I who told you this," that man said.
"Very well, go ahead," Chu Feng replied through voice transmission.
"With big sis Chu Yue's speed, she was originally capable of passing the Sacred Domain Selection. Unfortunately, she was blocked. The people that blocked her were Chu Haoyan's subordinates. I personally heard from those people's mouths that it was Chu Haoyan who secretly gave them an order to stop Chu Yue from advancing and passing the Sacred Domain Selection," that man said.
"My thanks," Chu Feng expressed his thanks and said no more.
Chu Feng knew very well that that man told him this matter because he realized his potential and wanted to befriend him.
In the end, it was for personal benefits, and not out of kindness. Thus, Chu Feng did not need to overly thank him.
At that moment, Chu Feng looked to Chu Yue and spoke quietly, "Big sis Chu Yue, did you fail to pass the Sacred Domain Selection because you were stopped by others?"
Chu Yue was startled upon hearing those words. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
"You should know that those people were Chu Haoyan's subordinates, right?" Chu Feng asked.
"Mn," Chu Yue nodded again.
"In that case, do you know if they were instructed to stop you by Chu Haoyan?" Chu Feng asked again.
Chu Yue hesitated again. However, in the end, she nodded again.
"Then what use is there for you to cry here?" Chu Feng asked.
"What else can I do? That is Chu Haoyan. Even if I am to tell the elders about this, it would still be useless. Not only will they not admit that he was wrong to do so, but even if they were to admit to it, no one would condemn Chu Haoyan. After all, something like this is a common occurrence in the Chu Heavenly Clan," Chu Yue said.
"So you're planning to continue to submit to humiliation like this? Are you planning to submit to humiliation for the rest of your life in the Chu Heavenly Clan?" Chu Feng asked.
At that moment, Chu Yue suddenly clenched her hands that were grabbing onto her skirt. She was quiet for a moment before finally saying quietly, "I'm not. But what can I do?"
"It's fine if you do not know what to do."
"I, Chu Feng, will teach you what you should do today," at that moment, Chu Feng stood up.
As for Chu Yue, she had a completely confused expression on her face as she looked to Chu Feng.
Seeing Chu Yue's confused expression, Chu Feng said, "Resist."
As he said that word, Chu Feng began to walk toward Chu Haoyan.
When Chu Feng approached Chu Haoyan, Chu Xuanzhengfa just happened to have finished helping Chu Lingxi fuse with the Ten Souls Pearl.
At that moment, the Ten Souls Pearl disappeared. The crowd all knew that the Ten Souls Pearl had entered Chu Lingxi's body. After all, this process was something that they had witnessed with their own eyes.
However, there was no change to Chu Lingxi at all. She appeared no different from before she had fused with the Ten Souls Pearl.
However, the crowd knew that Chu Lingxi was no longer the same. Her cultivation speed would become faster. She will become their Chu Heavenly Clan's strongest genius.
No, not the strongest. After all, there was still Chu Feng.
There was still Chu Feng, who had become an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist at his young age. It was him… who had helped Chu Lingxi obtain the Ten Souls Pearl.
When they thought of this, the crowd began to search for Chu Feng. And it just so happened that Chu Feng was walking over himself.
Seeing Chu Feng walking over, Chu Lingxi hurriedly moved toward him.
"Chu Feng, I've succeeded. I truly do not know how to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Ten Souls Pearl," Chu Lingxi was extremely sincere when she said those words. She was feeling truly grateful toward Chu Feng.
"It's great that you've succeeded. How do you feel now?" Chu Feng asked with a smile on his face.
"I feel very good," Chu Lingxi said.
"That's great. Since that's the case, help me witness this," Chu Feng said.
"Ah? Witness what?" Chu Lingxi asked in a very confused manner.
It was not only her; the great majority of the people present were also confused.
Why would Chu Feng suddenly say that sort of thing?
Right at the moment when the crowd were confused, Chu Feng suddenly walked over to Chu Haoyan.
"You've won our contest earlier," Chu Feng said.
"Of course. Many people have seen that, there's no need for you to tell me that I've won, we all know that I've won," Chu Haoyan spoke in a very proud manner.
After all, Chu Feng was no longer just someone who had managed to ascend to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step, but he was also an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist who had successfully helped Chu Lingxi subdue the Ten Souls Pearl.
Chu Haoyan would naturally feel extremely proud to have won against such a Chu Feng.

Chapter 2974 - What Sort Of Ability
"However, nothing was at stake in that match. How about we have another match and add some stakes this time?" Chu Feng said.
"That's naturally not an issue, it's not like I'm afraid of you," Chu Haoyan said in a very indifferent manner, "How do you wish to compete?"
"Through a battle. The two of us shall fight. We can use both world spirit techniques and martial techniques to determine who among us is stronger, and who is weaker," Chu Feng said.
Once Chu Feng said those words, everyone's expressions turned sluggish.
They thought to themselves, 'Could this Chu Feng have gone insane or what? Earlier, he dared not say anything even after Chu Haoyan provoked and insulted him. Why would he go and provoke Chu Haoyan now?'
'What makes him think he can provoke Chu Haoyan? Even if he's an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist, even if he ascended to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' tenth step, even if he possesses heaven-defying secret skills and has trained in the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique, he is still… still only a rank five True Immortal, whereas Chu Haoyan is a rank seven True Immortal.'
'Regardless of how powerful a rank five True Immortal might be, how could a rank five True Immortal be able to contend against a rank seven True Immortal?'
'Furthermore, Chu Haoyan is not an ordinary rank seven True Immortal. He is someone who left his name on the Demon-level Geniuses List, one of the Chu Heavenly Clan's strongest members of the younger generation.'
'Even if Chu Feng possesses many heaven-defying abilities, Chu Haoyan also possesses many heaven-defying abilities.'
No matter how they saw it, they felt that Chu Feng was simply seeking his own destruction by challenging Chu Haoyan.
In fact, it was not only the people of the younger generation that felt this way. After Chu Feng challenged Chu Haoyan, many of the older generations present also started to frown, and thought to themselves that Chu Feng was being too arrogant.
They all felt that Chu Feng's action was akin to a moth flying into a flame, seeking its own destruction.
Only Chu Xuanzhengfa's expression remained unchanged. In fact, he didn't say a word, but started to observe all of this with interest in his eyes.
"Haha, am I mishearing things, you really want to fight against me?" Chu Haoyan started to laugh mockingly.
"You didn't mishear me. I am planning to fight against you. However, I have a condition," Chu Feng said.
"Condition? Humph, I knew you wouldn't have the courage to fight me head-on. Go on, tell me your condition," Chu Haoyan spoke with contempt.
Chu Haoyan felt that Chu Feng would definitely bring forth a condition that was beneficial to Chu Feng and detrimental to himself.
However, Chu Haoyan didn't care. There were many people present, and not only people of the younger generation, but also many people of the older generation with prestige and status in the Chu Heavenly Clan.
If Chu Feng was to bring up an unfair condition, the one to be humiliated would be Chu Feng. That was precisely what Chu Haoyan wanted to happen.
"Fist and feet possess no eyes. If you are to injure me, even if you are to seriously injure me, I, Chu Feng, will have no complaints," Chu Feng said.
"Ah?" Chu Haoyan was baffled.
'What is he talking about?'
'Wasn't he going to declare an unfair condition? Why would he say that he would not complain even if I am to seriously injure him? What sort of trick is this Chu Feng playing?'
"Thus, my condition is, if I end up seriously injuring you, I hope that you will not have any complaints either," Chu Feng said to Chu Haoyan.
"What the fuck?!" At that moment, Chu Haoyan cursed out loud.
After bursting out with a curse, he pointed at Chu Feng and said, "Who the hell do you think you are? You think you can injure me?"
"Sure, I accept your condition. Come, let us fight," Chu Haoyan said as he pointed at Chu Feng.
"Don't be so anxious just yet. We still haven't decided what the stakes will be," Chu Feng said.
"Stakes? I'd nearly forgotten about that. Very well, speak away, anything's fine with me," Chu Haoyan said.
"If I, Chu Feng, am to lose, I will withdraw from training in the Nine Moons Sacred Domain," Chu Feng said.
"As for you…" Chu Feng turned his hand that was pointing at Chu Haoyan to Chu Yue, who was standing and watching from afar, "if you are to lose, you will hand your opportunity to train in the Nine Moons Sacred Domain to Chu Yue."
"This…"
At that moment, the crowd all turned their gazes to Chu Yue.
It was only at that moment that they realized that what Chu Lingxi declared earlier seemed to be true.
The reason why Chu Feng did not dare to fight Chu Haoyan head-on earlier in the palace was because of Chu Yue.
And now, the reason why Chu Feng had taken the initiative to fight against Chu Haoyan was also because of Chu Yue.
"It turns out that you've only challenged me because of her. This is truly what they mean by a hero will be angry for a beauty."
"However, Chu Feng, you are no hero. You are only a fool. After all, it's simply impossible for you to defeat me," Chu Haoyan said as he pointed at Chu Feng.
"Do you find any issues with the conditions I've put forth?" Chu Feng asked in a very calm manner.
"I'm already itching to teach you a lesson, arrogant fool," Chu Haoyan said.
"In that case, can we begin the match now?" Chu Feng asked.
"Come, we can start right away," Chu Haoyan raised his arm and made a provoking motion, as if calling for Chu Feng to attack him.
At that moment, the surrounding people all moved backward. They formed an open space for Chu Feng and Chu Haoyan to fight.
At that moment, the people of the younger generation were a bit confused. They did not know if Chu Feng really possessed the ability to allow him to contend against Chu Haoyan, or if he was just acting like he was capable.
As for the experts from the older generation, they were shaking their heads. Practically all of them felt that Chu Feng was digging his own grave.
Only Chu Xuanzhengfa was watching all of this unfold with interest in his eyes.
"Milord, it seems you're not worried about Chu Feng in the slightest. Could it be that you think Chu Feng might be able to win?" Chu Xingde, who stood behind Chu Xuanzhengfa, asked in a very confused manner.
Following that, the members of the Law Enforcement Hall that stood around Chu Xuanzhengfa all turned their gazes toward him as well.
"Do not forget that he is Chu Xuanyuan's son. Furthermore, look at how confident he is. Does he resemble a reckless person?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked.
"But, is that really possible? There's such a massive difference between their cultivations. No matter how many abilities one might possess, it would still be impossible to make up for it," Chu Xingde said.
"Do not judge a genius by the standards of commoners. As for Chu Feng, he is most definitely a genius," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
Hearing those words, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall nodded.
So far, Chu Feng had truly accomplished many things ordinary people were incapable of accomplishing. He truly could not be considered an ordinary person.
"That said, exactly what sort of ability is he going to use to defeat Chu Haoyan, who is so much more powerful than him?" Chu Xingren asked.
"That is exactly what I want to know too," Chu Xuanzhengfa said with a smile.
Chu Xuanzhengfa was very confident in Chu Feng. The only thing Chu Xuanzhengfa didn't know was exactly what other sort of ability Chu Feng possessed.
"Quickly, look, what is that?!"
"That... that's a World Spirit Gate?!"
Right at that moment, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
The crowd were clearly able to see a World Spirit Gate opening before Chu Feng.

Chapter 2795 - Rip Apart Your Mouth
At the moment when Chu Feng opened his World Spirit Gate, many of the people present were completely confused.
As everyone knew, in a battle between martial cultivators, victory and defeat would be determined through their martial power. While world spirit techniques also possessed a certain amount of battle power, unless one were an expert world spiritist who trained wholly in world spirit techniques, one would simply not be able to contend against cultivators of the same level, much less cultivators stronger than themselves.
Although Chu Feng was an Exalted-level World Spiritist, he was only an Insect-mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist. Regardless of how powerful his world spirits might be, they would at the very most only be as powerful as he was.
As such, how could Chu Feng's world spirits possibly be able to contend against Chu Haoyan?
Under the crowd's questioning gazes, a beauty gracefully walked out from the World Spirit Gate and appeared before the crowd's field of view.
That person was naturally the extremely beautiful Her Lady Queen.
"Sss~~~"
Once Her Lady Queen appeared, the expressions of everyone present changed. The sound of people sucking in cold air could be heard from the crowd.
The world spirit who walked out from the World Spirit Gate was not the extremely fierce and powerful world spirit that they were expecting. Instead, it was actually such a celestial-fairy-like beauty with an alluring figure.
To witness such a beauty, not only were the young men's eyes shining with light, but the young women were also gasping in admiration.
After all, Her Lady Queen was so beautiful that not even Chu Ruoshi and Chu Lingxi could compare.
"There's actually such a beautiful world spirit in this world?"
At that moment, many of the Chu Heavenly Clansmen started to swallow their saliva whilst looking at Her Lady Queen.
Their reactions were understandable. While they were from the prestigious Chu Heavenly Clan, they had never witnessed a beauty of Her Lady Queen's caliber in their entire lives.
"Chu Feng, and here I was wondering what sort of ability you'd be using. After all this, you've actually called forth such a girl."
"What's this? You want her to fuck me?" Chu Haoyan ridiculed whilst staring at Her Lady Queen.
There was even a wicked desire in his eyes when he said those words.
He was not joking around. He really wanted to violate Her Lady Queen.
At that moment, Chu Feng's expression suddenly changed. Killing intent erupted out from him in that instant.
"This?"
Chu Feng's sudden explosive killing intent startled everyone present.
They did not understand why Chu Feng would suddenly explode with such intense killing intent.
Only Chu Feng knew that he would not tolerate anyone insulting Her Lady Queen.
"Woosh~~~"
Right at that moment, with a thought from Her Lady Queen, her killing intent also burst forth.
The surrounding temperature started to fall rapidly as the air itself started freezing.
Her killing intent was actually even more intense than Chu Feng's.
At the instant Her Lady Queen's killing intent burst forth, black gaseous flames emerged from her body.
Like the reflection of the devil, the cape of the reaper, the black gaseous flames started to surge about as they spiraled around Her Lady Queen.
"This power, it's an Asura World Spirit."
"That is actually an Asura Spirit World's World Spirit! Chu Feng... is actually an Asura World Spiritist!"
There were, after all, a lot of experienced and knowledgeable people in the Chu Heavenly Clan. Before Her Lady Queen unleashed her power, they had no idea. However, once she unleashed her power, there were immediately people among the crowd that realized she was an Asura World Spirit.
"Asura World Spiritist?" While the people of the older generation were experienced and knowledgeable, those from the younger generation were not.
However, they knew what an Asura World Spiritist represented.
While Heavenly Lightning Bloodlines could be said to be the king among abilities a martial cultivator could possess, it remained that there were still Divine Bodies capable of contending against Heavenly Lightning Bloodlines.
However, Asura World Spiritists were the sole kings among World Spiritists. No one would be able to contend against them.
Chu Feng's identity as an Asura World Spiritist had undoubtedly once again caused the crowd to have a whole new level of respect and envy toward him.
Among possessors of Heavenly Lightning Bloodlines, Chu Feng was someone who trained in the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique.
Among world spiritists, he was actually an Asura World Spiritist.
He represented the best in the world on both fronts. With this, how could people not feel envious of him?
"So you're actually from the Asura Spirit World. No wonder you're so arrogant to dare unleash your killing intent at me."
"However, little girl, how can you, with your mere rank five True Immortal-level cultivation, possibly be able to contend against this young master?" After Chu Haoyan finished saying those words, a 'Heaven' character Lightning Mark appeared on his forehead.
At that moment, not only were there lightning flashes, rolls of thunder and violent winds, but Chu Haoyan's aura also increased from rank seven True Immortal to rank eight True Immortal.
Chu Haoyan was worthy of being a genius of the Chu Heavenly Clan, as his strength truly did not let down his reputation as a genius.
"Little girl, not only are you going to be powerless to defend yourself today, but your master will also be powerless to defend himself," after saying those words, Chu Haoyan turned to Chu Feng, "Chu Feng, your world spirit is truly good-looking. Why don't you hand her over to me so that I can enjoy her for the night? If you do that, I can consider sparing you today."
After saying those words, Chu Haoyan swallowed some saliva and revealed a wicked smile.
"Chu Haoyan, you'd best control your mouth. Otherwise... today will not be as simple as a mere spar," as Chu Feng spoke, not only did his killing intent grow more and more intense, but he even placed his hand on his Cosmos Sack.
Her Lady Queen noticed this. She noticed that Chu Feng was planning to personally take care of Chu Haoyan.
However, the current Chu Feng was still no match for Chu Haoyan right now. If he were to fight against Chu Haoyan, the only thing he could use would be the Evil God Sword.
If the Evil God Sword was to be unleashed, this would no longer be a mere fight.
Seeing that Chu Feng was no longer able to keep his calm, Her Lady Queen said, "Chu Feng, for trash like him, just hand it to this Queen to take care of."
"What? Little girl, are you blind? Are you incapable of seeing the Lightning Mark on this young master's forehead? Are you incapable of sensing this young master's aura? You dare to still declare that you're going to take care of me at a time like this?" The smile on Chu Haoyan's face turned into one of utter mockery.
To him, what Her Lady Queen said was simply a joke.
In fact, it was not only Chu Haoyan who was feeling this way. Many other people were also baffled by Her Lady Queen's words.
Regardless of how powerful an Asura World Spirit might be, she remained to only be a world spirit. With such an enormous disparity in cultivation, there was simply no chance for her to win. As such, how could she make such an arrogant declaration?
It was as if the one grasping victory in their hands was her.
At that moment, Her Lady Queen suddenly smiled beautifully at Chu Haoyan. She said, "This Queen will personally rip apart that mouth of yours."
"Haha, come, my little beauty, this young master is waiting for you," Chu Haoyan burst into loud laughter and opened his mouth wider. He was acting as if he was waiting for Her Lady Queen to come and rip apart his mouth. His behavior was truly arrogant.
The reason for his arrogance was because he simply did not believe that the girl before him was capable of ripping apart his mouth.
"Woosh~~~"
Right at that moment, ruthlessness suddenly flashed through Her Lady Queen's beautiful eyes.
In the next moment, the dark black gaseous flames surrounding Her Lady Queen turned into two hands that shot straight toward Chu Haoyan.
The speed of those hands was simply too fast. By the time Chu Haoyan managed to react, the two hands formed from dark black gaseous flames had already reached his mouth.
The next moment, a 'rip' was heard.
"Eeaaahh~~~"
Chu Haoyan's miserable scream rang out.
The reason for that was because his mouth had been forcibly torn apart. Blood was splattering all over, and he was feeling an enormous amount of pain.

Chapter 2976 - Ruthless Gaze
"Eeaaahhh~~~"
Chu Haoyan's miserable scream was still resonating.
Chu Haoyan covered his mutilated mouth with his hands, and was rolling on the ground and screaming in pain.
The people present were looking at Her Lady Queen with astonishment on their faces.
At the moment when Her Lady Queen unleashed her attack, they had all felt Her Lady Queen's aura.
Her Lady Queen was most definitely not as simple as only a rank five True Immortal.
"H-H-Heaven-defying battle power?!"
"To still possess heaven-defying battle power at True Immortal realm?!"
"Furthermore, a battle power capable of surmounting five levels of cultivation on top of that?!!!"
The crowd simply did not dare to believe what they sensed. After all, upon reaching the True Immortal realm, even they, possessors of a Heavenly Lightning Bloodline, ended up losing their heaven-defying battle power.
However, Her Lady Queen actually still possessed her heaven-defying battle power. Furthermore, it was so frighteningly powerful, capable of surmounting five levels of cultivation. With this, how could they not be astonished?
"Is this how powerful Asura World Spirits are?"
"Is this how powerful the kings among world spiritists are?"
While the people of the older generation were still able to keep calm, the people of the younger generation were actually looking at Her Lady Queen with fear in their eyes.
How could they not be afraid? After all, with a cultivation of rank five True Immortal and a heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting five levels of cultivation, Her Lady Queen was capable of slaughtering all of them.
At that moment, even the proud and conceited Chu Ruoshi revealed a complicated expression. Contained within her complicated gaze was not only astonishment, but also a trace of hostility.
The reason for that was because she was unable to help herself from thinking about if she could defeat such a powerful Her Lady Queen. If she could not, would that mean that she would be defeated by Chu Feng in the upcoming Heavenly Beloved Martial Competition?
That's right, with a world spirit as powerful as Her Lady Queen on his side, how could anyone from the younger generation be able to contend against him?
Not to mention the people of the younger generation, it was likely that no True Immortal would be able to contend against him.
"Chu Feng, this Queen will return now," Her Lady Queen was very smart. She did not attempt to continue attacking Chu Haoyan. Instead, she directly entered the World Spirit Gate.
The reason for that was because she knew that countless eyes were focused on her at that moment. If she were to do something that endangered Chu Haoyan's life, someone would definitely act to save him.
At that time, Chu Feng might be implicated. After all, that Chu Haoyan was someone with quite a background.
"Buzz~~~"
After Her Lady Queen returned to Chu Feng's world spirit space, Chu Xuanzhengfa pointed his finger downward. Immediately, light started sprinking down like a gentle rain. The light sprinkled onto Chu Haoyan.
With that, Chu Haoyan's mutilated face actually started to recover. The miserable pain he felt also eased up.
"Fucking bitch! I'll kill you!" After having his injuries cured, Chu Haoyan shouted with incomparable fury.
"Haoyan, you must accept your losses. Do not make that friend from the Asura Spirit World feel that our Chu Heavenly Clan is incapable of taking defeat with grace," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"But, she unleashed a surprise attack at me earlier. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to be struck," Chu Haoyan defended himself.
"Is that so?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked.
"That's right. Senior, that is precisely it," Chu Haoyan nodded.
At that moment, Chu Xuanzhengfa narrowed his eyes. He smiled lightly. "According to what you've said, you're trying to say that you would be injured by a surprise attack from someone with a weaker cultivation than your own?"
"Of course not," Chu Haoyan shook his head.
"Then you're trying to say that if I attack you, as long as it's not a surprise attack, you will be capable of defending against it?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked again.
"I..." Chu Haoyan didn't know how to answer.
"It's enough. You yourself know the best what happened. That young lady has already gone easy on you. Otherwise, you would definitely not have only your mouth ripped apart," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
Once Chu Xuanzhengfa said those words, there were even others from the Chu Heavenly Clan that revealed gazes of agreement.
That's right, that was someone with a heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting five levels of cultivation. How could Chu Haoyan possibly be a match for her?
Furthermore, those dark black gaseous flames were extremely remarkable. Logically, for someone of Chu Haoyan's cultivation, not to mention having his mouth ripped apart, even if his body was shattered, he would not utter a single sound of pain.
However, Chu Haoyan was screaming miserably earlier. That was something they had all witnessed.
This meant that the attack from that Asura World Spirit, although simple, was definitely very remarkable.
At the very least, her attack brought Chu Haoyan unbearable pain.
"Senior Zhengfa, you also heard the agreement between Chu Haoyan and I earlier. May I know if it could take effect now," Chu Feng asked.
"Once a man agrees to something, even a team of horses cannot unsay it. Chu Haoyan agreed to it, thus he will naturally have to accept his losses. The men of our Chu Heavenly Clan will never go back upon their word."
After he said those words, Chu Xuanzhengfa looked to Chu Haoyan, "Am I right, Haoyan?"
Chu Haoyan had an extremely displeased expression on his face. However, there was nothing he could say. He couldn't possibly declare that he was going to go back on his promise before all those people.
If he were to do that, he would not only humiliate himself, but he would also humiliate his father, his grandfather, and the entire Chu Heavenly Clan.
"Chu Feng, you've won. You can handle my qualification to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain as you wish," as Chu Haoyan spoke, he tossed a title plate to Chu Feng.
The words 'Nine Moons Sacred Domain.' were written on that title plate
That was not a title plate for participating in the selection. Instead, it was a title plate for entering the Nine Moons Sacred Domain.
"Chu Feng, this is yours," at that moment, a Chu Heavenly Clan elder walked over to Chu Feng and handed him another Nine Moons Sacred Domain title plate.
While Chu Feng took a long time to walk out of the Death Gate, it remained that he had passed through the Death Gate. Thus, regardless of how long it took, Chu Feng was qualified to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain. That title plate was something that Chu Feng had obtained himself.
"Thank you senior," Chu Feng accepted the title plate from that elder and placed it in his clothes.
As for the title plate that was tossed to him by Chu Haoyan, he kept holding it in his hand the entire time.
At that moment, Chu Feng suddenly turned around and walked over to Chu Yue. He handed the title plate to her. "Big sis Chu Yue, you can enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain and train together with me."
"Little brother Chu Feng, I..."
Tears were flickering in Chu Yue's beautiful eyes. An expression filled her entire face, an expression of being moved.
"Just accept it. It belongs to you," Chu Feng placed the title plate into Chu Yue's hands.
After the title plate entered her hands, Chu Yue not only started crying, but her body also started shivering. Quietly, she said, "Thank you."
"Even if that title plate belongs to her, I'm afraid she will not be able to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain," right at that moment, a resounding voice suddenly exploded in the distant sky.
Turning toward the source of the sound, the space there was trembling. As the shaking continued, a figure gradually appeared.
That was an old man. He was not very tall, but he had a very long beard. His face was also very fierce-looking.
His shrewd and ruthless eyes were currently looking at Chu Feng with ill-intentions.

Chapter 2977 - Flame Extinguishing Pearl
"We pay our respects to Lord Utmost Exalted Elder."
Upon seeing who it was that had arrived, the people of the Chu Heavenly Clan, including even Chu Xuanzhengfa, all clasped their fists to greet the old man respectfully.
Seeing that old man, Chu Feng knew who he was without needing others to introduce him. That old man was not only an Utmost Exalted Elder of the Chu Heavenly Clan, but he also possessed another identity.
He was most definitely Chu Haoyan's grandfather.
The reason for that was because the two of them resembled one another. This was especially true of their disgusting condescending eyes. Those eyes were simply produced from the same mold.
Right at that moment, a person of the older generation ordered Chu Feng with a stern voice, "Chu Feng, that person is one of our Chu Heavenly Clan's seven Utmost Exalted Elders, Lord Puze."
"Quickly, greet him respectfully."
Chu Feng was not someone without social etiquette. Even though the old man had come with ill-intentions, it remained that the old man was his senior. As such, Chu Feng clasped his fist and bowed respectfully.
"Lord Puze, could it be that something has happened?" Chu Xuanzhengfa asked.
"Youyuan, you explain this matter to them," Chu Haoyan's grandfather waved his hand.
Right at that moment, a person suddenly soared from the crowd and arrived in the sky.
That person was also an old man. Furthermore, that old man possessed a very powerful cultivation. He was an Exalted-level expert. Chu Feng was able to tell that he was stronger than Chu Xuanzhengfa, and not weaker than Chu Haoyan's grandfather.
That old man was an Utmost Exalted Elder-level expert.
Likely, he was a rank two Exalted.
That said, the old man's appearance was somewhat inconsistent with his strength.
The old man had a slouching stance. In his hand was a walking stick. He seemed as if he would not be able to stand firm without that walking stick.
That said, that walking stick was very crude. It resembled a wooden stick picked up from the ground. Even through careful observation, Chu Feng was unable to find anything particularly good about it.
As for that old man's outfit, it was also very plain and simple. He was wearing an ordinary sackcloth gown. Most importantly, his sackcloth gown was filled with patches. It was as if he had worn it for many years. From a glance, it resembled the outfit of a beggar.
That said, one thing worthy of mentioning was that the sackcloth gown, although very worn out, was very clean. It could be said to be untainted by even a speck of dust.
Most importantly, the old man had a very benevolent-looking face. He seemed to be very amiable.
Compared to Chu Haoyan's grandfather's fierce face, that old man was simply amiable and approachable to the extreme. He gave off a very pleasant sensation.
"We pay our respects to Lord Youyuan."
Upon seeing that old man, Chu Xuanzhengfa and the others from the Chu Heavenly Clan all greeted him respectfully as well.
It could be seen that the old man was also someone of extraordinary status. However, he should not be an Utmost Exalted Elder. Instead, he should possess some special status.
This time around, Chu Feng also clasped his fist at that old man respectfully without anyone reminding him to do so.
"Cough cough," that Lord Youyuan first coughed twice. Then, he waved his hand and said, "I've said it many times already, there's no need to greet me like this. We are all family, there is no need for this level of courtesy."
After saying those words, that Lord Youyuan laughed. Then, he continued, "I have returned from the Nine Moons Sacred Domain with relatively important news."
"As everyone knows, the Nine Moons Sacred Domain is soon to open. It has been determined that the Nine Moons Sacred Domain will open in three days' time," Lord Youyuan said.
"Three days' time? That fast?" Hearing those words, many of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations became very excited.
The reason for that was because they had all passed the Sacred Domain Selection, and were thus qualified to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain to train there.
Entering the Nine Moons Sacred Domain would bring them enormous benefits.
"However, the Nine Moons Sacred Domain this time around is filled with Blueflame Biogas.The Blueflame Biogas has spread through the entire Nine Moons Sacred Domain, covering it completely," Lord Youyuan said.
"What? Blueflame Biogas?"
"This… this is truly too unfortunate."
Upon hearing the words 'Blueflame Biogas', those Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations that were feeling excited earlier immediately became dejected and displeased.
At that moment, sighs began to be heard from those members of the younger generations that passed the Sacred Domain Selection. Even Chu Yue had a depressed look on her face. It was as if she had received an enormous shock.
"Big sis Chu Yue, what is that Blueflame Biogas?" Chu Feng asked Chu Yue.
Chu Yue sighed. "Little brother Chu Feng, you do not know about this. The Blueflame Biogas is a special gaseous substance of the Nine Moons Sacred Domain. It possesses a certain level of toxicity. While it will not cause any harm to Heavenly Immortal-level experts, it is extremely corrosive for cultivators beneath the Heavenly Immortal realm."
"The Blueflame Biogas is capable of invading one's soul. Once one's soul is invaded, it will be burned by the Blueflame Biogas. One will then end up burning to death."
"Thus, whenever the Blueflame Biogas appears, we of the younger generations cannot enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain," Chu Yue said with a depressed expression on her face.
"So that's the case," Chu Feng finally understood why those people of the younger generation were all acting so depressed.
It turned out that they would not be able to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain since this Blueflame Biogas had appeared.
"However, you of the younger generations present need not be too discouraged. Our clan has always been thinking of a way to deal with the Blueflame Biogas. And now… we already possess a treasure to take on the Blueflame Biogas."
"This treasure is capable of effectively guarding against Blueflame Biogas," right at that moment, Lord Youyuan opened his palm. Immediately, countless bodies of light dispersed from his palm.
Those bodies of light were blue in color, and had the size of fireflies. As they floated in midair, they seemed to possess life.
Chu Feng was able to tell with a single glance that those bodies of light were extremely remarkable.
"These here are what our clan has researched for many years to specially take on the Blueflame Biogas. They are called Flame Extinguishing Pearls. With a Flame Extinguishing Pearl on your body, the Blueflame Biogas will not be able to approach you," Lord Youyuan said.
"This is great! This would mean that we are able to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain to train!"
"I've heard about these Flame Extinguishing Pearls before. Never would I have expected that we actually managed to develop them successfully. Truly, the heavens are helping us. Even the heavens want us to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain."
At that moment, those Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations that were sighing in depression earlier were immediately overjoyed. They were all cheering gleefully.
"However, the Flame Extinguishing Pearls must be awakened first in order to be of use. Furthermore, only those below the Heavenly Immortal realm will be able to awaken them."
"There is also a certain requirement in order to awaken a Flame Extinguishing Pearl. The way I see it, all of you here might not necessarily be able to awaken them."
"Thus, I have already consulted with the Utmost Exalted Elders. We decided to change the rules for entering the Nine Moons Sacred Domain on this occasion."
"There are a total of sixty Flame Extinguishing Pearls here. If anyone is capable of awakening them, they will then be qualified to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain to train."
"Of course, if you are able to awaken a Flame Extinguishment Pearl and don't want to enter, you can pass it on to someone else."
"As for those people of the younger generation that have already obtained the qualifications to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain, they will be entitled to attempt to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Pearls first. If you all fail to awaken them, then, because of your efforts earlier, we will make an exception and allow you all to find others to help you awaken them."
"However, I must remind all you younger generations here, that each of you… can only awaken a single Flame Extinguishing Pearl," Lord Youyuan said to the people of the younger generation present.

Chapter 2978 - Incapable Of Awakening
"There's actually a need to awaken them? Why is it so troublesome?" Many people of the younger generation started to complain after hearing what Lord Youyuan said.
When all was said and done, they were simply afraid, afraid that they would not be able to awaken these Flame Extinguishing Pearls. Should that happen, they would end up losing their qualifications to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain.
"Apart from the appearance of the Blueflame Biogas, there is actually also good news. That is, the Nine Moons Sacred Domain's Yin Yang Gate has already appeared. When the Nine Moons Sacred Domain opens in three days' time, the Yin Yang Gate will definitely open too," Lord Youyuan said.
"The Yin Yang Gate that has not appeared for many years has actually appeared again?!!"
"No wonder the number of younger generations is limited to only sixty this time around. Furthermore, even the amount of males and females need to be equal. It turns out that it's actually because the Yin Yang Gate had appeared. Haha, this is truly too fortunate. I guess this could be considered as profiting from misfortune?!"
Upon finding out that the Yin Yang Gate had appeared, the people of the younger generation were extremely excited. In fact, even the experts of the older generation revealed expressions of excitement on their faces.
It could be seen that the Yin Yang Gate was most definitely an extremely good place to be.
Seemingly knowing that Chu Feng would not know about the Yin Yang Gate, Chu Yue's voice transmission sounded by Chu Feng's ear. "Little brother Chu Feng, the Nine Moons Sacred Domain possesses a total of ninety-nine gates for people of different cultivations to train in."
"For those below the Heavenly Immortal realm, in other words we of the younger generation, only thirty-three gates can be entered. Among them, the Yin Yang Gate is the most exceptional."
"Reportedly, one will definitely profit should one enter the Yin Yang Gate. It will definitely not be an errand for nothing. For those with high levels of talent, they might even be able to directly make a breakthrough in cultivation."
"Of course, cultivation is only one aspect of it. The Yin Yang Gate also possesses treasures."
"However, the Yin Yang Gate has not appeared for several hundred years now. Thus, many people have simply never had the chance to enter the Yin Yang Gate. However... we now have the opportunity to enter it," Chu Yue was also very excited when she said those words.
"Well then, if there's no issue, you can all begin awakening the Flame Extinguishing Pearls. After you've awakened your Flame Extinguishing Pearl, I will give you all a Yin Yang Fate Pearl," right at that moment, Lord Youyuan waved his sleeve. The sixty Flame Extinguishing Pearls started floating toward Chu Feng and the others.
After receiving a Flame Extinguishing Pearl, Chu Feng turned to Chu Yue and asked, "What is the Yin Yang Fate Pearl?"
"That's very simple. I will tell you what it is later. Let us awaken these Flame Extinguishing Pearls first. Otherwise... we will not be qualified to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain. As for the Yin Yang Fate Pearl, it would become meaningless then."
After saying those words, Chu Yue started to instill her power into her Flame Extinguishing Pearl. She was trying her hardest to awaken her Flame Extinguishing Pearl.
It could be seen that Chu Yue truly treasured this opportunity to enter and train in the Nine Moons Sacred Domain.
At that moment, practically everyone present was trying to awaken their Flame Extinguishing Pearls.
At the start, many people were acting very confidently. However, gradually, those confident people also started to panic.
They had attempted many different things to awaken their Flame Extinguishing Pearls. However, their Flame Extinguishing Pearls still had no reaction.
"Lord Youyuan, how do we awaken the Flame Extinguishing Pearls?" At that moment, there were people of the younger generation that started to ask Lord Youyuan for guidance.
"Use your heart," Lord Youyuan said with a smile.
"Use your heart?" Hearing those words, the crowd grew even more confused.
"Little brother Chu Feng, why aren't you attempting to awaken your Flame Extinguishing Pearl?" Chu Yue asked Chu Feng.
It was only at that moment that the crowd noticed that practically all of the people of the younger generation that had received a Flame Extinguishing Pearl were trying their best to awaken them. Even Chu Ruoshi, Chu Lingxi and Chu Huanyu were no exception.
Only Chu Feng was simply holding his Flame Extinguishing Pearl with one hand. He seemed to have no desire to awaken it at all.
"Oh, I was thinking about some things," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Thinking about some things? The way I see it, you don't know how to awaken it, no? That's why you're observing others and trying to secretly learn how to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Pearl, isn't that right?" Chu Haoyan mocked.
"Observe? I don't think there's a need for that, no? This thing seems to be very easy to awaken," Chu Feng said as he fiddled with the Flame Extinguishing Pearl in his hand.
"Easy to awaken? Chu Feng, your words are too excessive, no?" Once Chu Feng said those words, someone immediately voiced their discontent.
That person's reaction was understandable. After all, they had tried all sorts of things, but were still unable to awaken their Flame Extinguishing Pearls. Yet, Chu Feng declared that it was very easy to awaken. This inevitably caused them to think that Chu Feng was belittling them.
Chu Feng ignored that person's displeased remarks. He opened his hand and then closed it. He held the Flame Extinguishing Pearl within his palm and directed a thought at it.
"Buzz~~~"
The next moment, his Flame Extinguishing Pearl started to radiate with light.
"What is happening?"
When they saw Chu Feng's Flame Extinguishing Pearl emitting bright light, the expressions of everyone present changed.
"Lord Youyuan, Chu Feng... did he awaken his Flame Extinguishing Pearl?" Someone turned to ask Lord Youyuan.
Lord Youyuan didn't answer that person. However, he smiled and nodded. He was looking at Chu Feng with an admiring gaze.
At that moment, the astonishment on the crowd's faces grew even stronger. As for those people that had mocked Chu Feng earlier, their expressions turned ugly.
Simply no one had expected the Flame Extinguishing Pearl to really be so easily awakened by Chu Feng.
Could this be the disparity of talent?
"Little brother Chu Feng, how did you accomplish that?" Chu Yue asked Chu Feng.
"It's as Lord Youyuan said, you must use your heart. That said, there's a certain trick to it too..."
Chu Feng began to inform Chu Yue of how he had awakened his Flame Extinguishing Pearl. While he had used many world spiritist skills, one could actually also accomplish what Chu Feng did without being a world spiritist.
At the moment when Chu Feng was telling Chu Yue what to do to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Pearl, the others present were all paying close attention.
Following Chu Feng's method, Chu Lingxi, Chu Ruoshi and Chu Huanyu all awakened their Flame Extinguishing Pearls at practically the same time.
"Little brother Chu Feng, thank you for your guidance," Chu Ruoshi said to Chu Feng with a smile on her face.
She did not attempt to hide the fact that she had only managed to awaken her Flame Extinguishing Pearl by using Chu Feng's method.
After hearing what Chu Ruoshi said, the others also began to attempt Chu Feng's method. Following that, more and more successful awakenings appeared.
However, Chu Yue was an exception to the case. No matter how Chu Feng instructed her, she was still unable to awaken her Flame Extinguishing Pearl.
In the end, the great majority of people that had passed the Sacred Domain Selection had awakened their Flame Extinguishing Pearls. As for those that had failed to awaken their Flame Extinguishing Pearls, they sought help from others, and also awakened theirs.
At that moment, only Chu Yue was unable to awaken her Flame Extinguishing Pearl.
At that moment, someone said to Chu Yue, "Chu Yue, you don't have to continue trying anymore. Your talent is insufficient, you should find someone to help you."
Chu Yue was already covered in sweat. Although she felt extremely unreconciled, she herself knew that she would not be able to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Pearl.
"Chu Yue, let me help you," right at that moment, a person walked out from the crowd.
Upon seeing that person, Chu Yue did not hesitate, and directly handed her Flame Extinguishing Pearl to him. The reason for that was because that person was Chu Huai.
Unfortunately, after Chu Huai attempted it, he discovered that even he was unable to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Pearl.
"My apologies Chu Yue, I am unable to awaken it," Chu Huai returned the Flame Extinguishing Pearl to Chu Yue with a guilty expression.
"Everyone, although this is hard to mention, I would like to request your help. Today, if anyone is able to help me awaken this Flame Extinguishing Pearl, I, Chu Yue, will definitely repay that person later on," feeling helpless, Chu Yue could only hold her Flame Extinguishing Pearl in hand and seek help from the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations.
However, after she said those words, she actually did not receive a single reply.
There were over ten thousand members of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations present at that moment. However, not a single person among this vast crowd was willing to help Chu Yue.

Chapter 2979 - A Breakthrough Right Now
"Brothers and sisters, as long as there's someone who is capable of awakening this Flame Extinguishing Pearl for me, I am willing to agree to any condition."
"Even if it's something that I, Chu Yue, will not be able to accomplish today, I vow to the heavens that I will definitely compensate you for your assistance in the future."
Seeing that no one responded to her cry for help, Chu Yue spoke once again. This time around, she lowered herself even more. In fact, she even spoke of vowing to the heavens that she would compensate them.
It could be seen that she really cared about the opportunity and really wanted to seize it.
Unfortunately, even though she lowered herself like that, no one replied to her, no one answered her.
It was only natural that no one would reply or answer her.
After all, Chu Haoyan was standing there, and Chu Haoyan's grandfather was also standing there.
If anyone dared to help Chu Yue, wouldn't they be courting death?
With the situation being like this, Chu Yue became so anxious that the sockets of her eyes started to moisten. She truly did not wish to miss such a grand opportunity.
Seeing Chu Yue so helpless, Chu Feng felt it somewhat unbearable. Unable to contain himself, he said to the crowd, "If anyone is willing to help Chu Yue today, you can make any sort of request. If Chu Yue is unable to honor your request, I, Chu Feng, will honor your request on her behalf."
Once Chu Feng said those words, the crowd immediately turned restless.
After all, Chu Feng and Chu Yue were completely different. Ever since Chu Feng returned to the Chu Heavenly Clan, he immediately revealed his astonishing talent.
Not only had he ascended to the Heavenly Lightning Steps' legendary tenth step, but he had also revealed his identity as an Asura World Spiritist. Even Chu Haoyan, one of the Chu Heavenly Clan's strongest geniuses of the younger generation, was completely powerless to retaliate against Chu Feng's Asura World Spirit.
Chu Feng was simply someone with unbounded potential. Even though he was Chu Xuanyuan's son, their Chu Heavenly Clan would definitely still place great importance upon his nurture. As such, many people wanted to bring themselves into a relationship with Chu Feng.
"Chu Yue, your interpersonal relationships are truly lacking. There's actually not a single person in the clan that's willing to help you. Oh, my mistake, there's that fellow," Chu Haoyan looked to Chu Huai, "If I'm not mistaken, you're called Chu Huai, no?"
"I remember you being quite talented. Why would your cultivation still be so low? Furthermore, you're incapable of even awakening the Flame Extinguishing Pearl?"
After saying those words, Chu Haoyan looked to Chu Yue again, "Chu Yue, could this be because of you? It seems that those that are close to you will all end up suffering from miserable luck."
After saying those words, a sneer appeared on Chu Haoyan's face. It was a sneer filled with malicious intentions, an extremely threatening sneer.
Upon seeing that sneer, the people that were originally thinking about braving the risk to help Chu Yue for Chu Feng all gave up on the thought.
They had weighed the pros and cons. Although they wanted to deepen their relationship with Chu Feng, they still did not want to make an enemy of Chu Haoyan.
After all, Chu Haoyan's grandfather was their Chu Heavenly Clan's Utmost Exalted Elder, one of the people with the most power and authority in their Chu Heavenly Clan.
"Chuy Haoyan, do you not feel ashamed threatening others like this?" Chu Feng said to Chu Haoyan.
"Threatening? How am I threatening anyone? Don't you wrongly accuse me of things."
"Furthermore, even if I am threatening, what can you do about it?" Chu Haoyan looked to Chu Feng with a provocative gaze.
No, it was not only a provocative gaze. His gaze was also filled with deep hatred and grievance.
The hatred Chu Haoyan had toward Chu Feng was already bone-deep. After all, Chu Feng had publicly ruined his reputation.
Chu Feng did not bother to pay attention to Chu Haoyan. He instead turned his eyes to the crowd, "Is there really no one willing to help Chu Yue awaken her Flame Extinguishing Pearl?"
At that moment, the great majority of people lowered their heads. Whilst they did not wish to offend Chu Haoyan, they also did not wish to offend Chu Feng.
"Very well, I'll do it then," after Chu Feng said those words, he grabbed the Flame Extinguishing Pearl from Chu Yue's hand.
"Chu Feng, have you not heard what Lord Youyuan said? A single person is only capable of awakening a single Flame Extinguishing Pearl," Chu Haoyan said.
Right at that moment, Lord Youyuan said, "Actually, that's not absolutely the case."
"Senior, could it be that there are other ways to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Pearl?" At that moment, Chu Feng reacted as if he had seen hope. Humbly, he asked for guidance.
"When we were developing the Flame Extinguishing Pearls, there was someone who managed to awaken two Flame Extinguishing Pearls. The reason why he was capable of doing that is because he managed to reach a breakthrough in cultivation before awakening the second Flame Extinguishing Pearl."
"Because of that, we did some experiments, and we discovered that one could indeed awaken another Flame Extinguishing Pearl after making a breakthrough in cultivation," Lord Youyuan said.
"So that's the case. Thank you for your guidance, senior," Chu Feng revealed a joyous expression on his face upon hearing those words.
Then, he held the Flame Extinguishing Pearl in hand and said to Chu Yue with a smile on his face, "Big sis Chu Yue, do not worry, I will help you awaken your Flame Extinguishing Pearl."
"Ah?" Hearing those words, Chu Yue was surprised.
"Haha, Chu Feng, did you not hear what Lord Youyuan said?" Right at that moment, Chu Haoyan started to laugh mockingly.
"One can awaken another Flame Extinguishing Pearl after reaching a breakthrough in cultivation, am I wrong?" Chu Feng asked instead of answering.
Hearing those words, the smile on Chu Haoyan's face froze. Then, he asked, "Could it be that you're thinking you can reach a breakthrough in cultivation before the Nine Moons Sacred Domain opens?"
"Why can't I?" Chu Feng asked disapprovingly.
"Humph, you will not be able to accomplish that. Even if you were able to, I can tell you with certainty that you will definitely fail. After all, one must still fuse with the Yin Yang Fate Pearl for the Yin Yang Gate."
"As for fusing with the Yin Yang Fate Pearl, it's most definitely not a simple task. One will need at least two days' worth of time to accomplish that. As such, there would not be enough time."
Chu Haoyan said those words with a judging tone. It was as if he were announcing to the crowd that it would be impossible for Chu Feng to succeed.
"I understand what you mean. You're saying that I won't have enough time to make my breakthrough. In that case, do you think it would be feasible for me to make a breakthrough in cultivation right now?" Chu Feng asked.

Chapter 2980 - Ashamed Gazes
"What did you just say?"
"You… have you gone mad?"
"Who did you think you are? Do you really think you can reach a breakthrough just because you want to?"
Chu Haoyan immediately opened his mouth wide with shock upon hearing those words. He had simply never expected Chu Feng to say that sort of thing.
The others present were also very startled by Chu Feng's declaration. The experts from the older generation even began to shake their heads in disappointment.
No one had ever made such a boastful claim in the entire Chu Heavenly Clan.
In a nutshell, the great majority of people felt that Chu Feng was boasting too excessively.
However, faced with the crowd's questioning gazes, Chu Feng merely smiled, and then sat down in a cross-legged manner with his eyes closed.
"What is Chu Feng trying to do? Could he really be planning to attempt a breakthrough?"
Both the experts of the older generation and the geniuses from the younger generation were completely baffled by Chu Feng's actions. They did not know what Chu Feng was trying to do.
Soon, a special ripple emerged from Chu Feng's body. That ripple caused the crowd's eyes to brighten. As Chu Heavenly Clansmen, they knew what Chu Feng was doing.
Chu Feng was really attempting to make a breakthrough.
At that moment, a lackey standing beside Chu Haoyan began to mock Chu Feng. Seemingly trying to influence the crowd's state of mind, he said very loudly, "Haha, little brother Haoyan, what you've said is correct. That Chu Feng has truly gone insane. He's actually really attempting to make a breakthrough. Who does he think he is ? Does he really think he can make a breakthrough just because he declared he would?"
"Humph, an ignorant fool. Regardless of how talented he might be, he will not be able to reach greatness in the end," Chu Haoyan mocked.
"What little brother Haoyan says is extremely correct," once Chu Haoyan made such a declaration, his lackeys standing behind him all echoed in agreement.
"Rumble~~~"
However, right at that moment, rumbles sounded from high above in the sky.
The crowd turned their heads up to look, and were all stunned.
High up in the sky, nine-colored lightning was spiraling around like massive dragons.
Even though the lightning was very high up in the sky, its ear-piercing rumbles were very clear. It was as if it was within one's reach.
"Boom~~~"
Suddenly, the lightning condensed together and formed a nine-colored pillar of lightning that struck down from the sky, landing on Chu Feng.
At that moment, it was not only Chu Haoyan and his lackeys that were stunned. Even Chu Yue, Chu Huai, Chu Ruoshi, Chu Lingxi, Chu Huanyu and the other Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generations were all stunned.
In fact, even Chu Xuanzhengfa, Lord Youyuan and Chu Haoyan's grandfather had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Simply no one had expected Chu Feng to be able to immediately call forth Divine Tribulation lightning right after sitting down. He actually really made a breakthrough.
No, he had still not yet made a breakthrough. At the very least, he had yet to succeed.
As everyone knew, obtaining sufficient comprehension to make a breakthrough was only a portion of making a breakthrough for those trained in Self-Punishment Mysterious Techniques. Most crucial of all would be whether or not they would be able to successfully withstand the Self-Punishment Mysterious Technique's tribulation lightning.
At that moment, Chu Feng's Divine Tribulation lightning had already struck down at him. The lightning was roaring like giant dragons. It wanted to tear Chu Feng's body to pieces.
Seeing the intensely powerful tribulation lightning, even the Chu Heavenly Clan's older generations began to move back out of fear of being implicated by the lightning, and meeting a miserable death in the process.
Even though they all knew that the Self-Punishment Mysterious Technique's tribulation lightning would only attack the person who had drawn it, they had never before witnessed a tribulation lightning so powerful.
It was simply too frightening. It was so imposing that it resembled the descent of a calamity. No one would be able to keep themselves from becoming somewhat panicked.
"So frightening! Is that what the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique is like? Will Chu Feng really be able to withstand such powerful tribulation lightning?"
Seeing this tribulation lightning, some people started to worry for Chu Feng. They felt that it was simply impossible for anyone to withstand such powerful tribulation lightning.
Right at that moment, the Divine Tribulation's lightning started to dissipate. The crowd were also able to clearly sense that Chu Feng's aura was changing.
He was no longer a rank five True Immortal. Instead, he had become a rank six True Immortal.
Chu Feng had successfully made a breakthrough.
"Heavens, he actually really managed to make his breakthrough!!!"
The crowd were endlessly astonished. That said, the emotions in their hearts were even more complicated than the expressions on their faces.
Even Chu Ruoshi, Chu Lingxi and the two men who greatly detested Chu Feng, Chu Huanyu and Chu Haoyan, were stunned.
The great majority of the people present were astonished. Only Chu Xuanzhengfa had a smile on his face. He took a glance at Chu Haoyan's grandfather and several of the other elders present.
All the people that sensed Chu Xuanzhengfa's gaze revealed an ashamed and displeased expression, replacing their astonishment.
Back then, Chu Feng was deemed as someone incapable of cultivating. Because of that, he was deemed trash and exiled from the Chu Heavenly Clan together with his father, Chu Xuanyuan.
They had all definitely taken part in that.
However, the trash that they'd deemed to be incapable of cultivating had returned to their Chu Heavenly Clan.
Furthermore, he had caused all of the most talented geniuses in their Chu Heavenly Clan to pale by comparison.
With this, how could they not be ashamed?
In the moment when the crowd was astonished, Chu Feng awakened the second Flame Extinguishment Pearl in his hand and handed it back to Chu Yue.
"Little brother Chu Feng, I truly do not know how to thank you," holding the awakened Flame Extinguishing Pearl, Chu Yue was so excited that her body started to tremble.
Chu Feng smiled lightly. He said, "You are my big sis, there's no need to act so courteous toward me. However… I'm afraid that I will end up offending certain people by awakening this Flame Extinguishing Pearl. After all, as long as big sis Chu Yue enters the Nine Moons Sacred Domain, a certain someone will end up losing his qualifications to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain," after saying those words, Chu Feng looked to Chu Haoyan.
Seeing Chu Feng's provocative gaze, Chu Haoyan was so furious that his face started twitching.
"I am willing to give my Flame Extinguishing Pearl to Chu Haoyan," right at that moment, someone stood out from the crowd. With a Flame Extinguishing Pearl in hand, that person walked over to Chu Haoyan.
As for Chu Haoyan, he accepted that Flame Extinguishing Pearl from that person without saying a single word of thanks. It was as if it were only natural for him to be presented with a Flame Extinguishing Pearl.
That said, it was indeed natural. After all, that person was his lackey, his subordinate. How could he thank his own subordinate, someone he looked down on from the bottom of his heart?

Chapter 2981 - Absolutely Not A Benevolent Individual
Holding the Flame Extinguishing Pearl in his hand, Chu Haoyan mocked, "Chu Feng, are you disappointed?"
"Disappointed? I am indeed disappointed. You, the person ranked fifth on the Demon-level Geniuses List, actually needed to be given a Flame Extinguishing Pearl by another in order to gain the qualifications to enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain. How could I not be disappointed by you?"
"Chu Haoyan, where is your Flame Extinguishing Pearl? Oh, I'd nearly forgotten, you lost it to someone in a match," Chu Feng mocked.
"You!!!" At that moment, Chu Haoyan was so furious his face turned deep red. He was simply on the verge of exploding.
"Well then, since the people of the younger generation that will be entering the Sacred Domain have been decided, I will be providing you all with your Yin Yang Fate Pearls now," Lord Youyuan waved his sleeve, and sixty pearl-sized crystal balls started floating toward Chu Feng and the others, landing in their hands.
Chu Feng inspected the so-called Yin Yang Fate Pearl in his hand, and discovered that while the pearl appeared to be clear and transparent, one would notice a substance that resembled a speck of dust in the center of the pearl should one pay close attention.
While ordinary people might not be able to determine what it was, Chu Feng was capable of determining it to be a formation, a Yin Yang formation.
"Not only does the Yin Yang Gate require Yin Yang Fate Pearls, but it also requires a man and a woman to enter at the same time. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to pass through it, but you will instead be injured by the Yin Yang Gate."
"After entering the Yin Yang Gate, your Yin Yang Pearl will activate. With that, your fates will be completely bound to it."
"With your talent, you all will be able to awaken your Yin Yang Fate Pearls in two days' time. However... finding a well-coordinated partner is extremely important."
"Right now, you all must select your partner to enter the Yin Yang Gate together with you," Lord Youyuan said.
Right after Lord Youyuan said those words, Chu Yue immediately said to Chu Feng, "Little brother Chu Feng, let us enter together."
"Sure," Chu Feng accepted it without even thinking.
Chu Yue was the only person in the Chu Heavenly Clan that Chu Feng could think of that would be willing to enter the Yin Yang Gate together with him.
However, Chu Feng did not notice that when he accepted Chu Yue's request, Chu Lingxi, who had taken a step forward, quietly retrieved her extended foot. At the same time, a faint disappointed expression appeared on her confident face.
"Little sister Lingxi, let us join hands. Should the two of us work together, we will definitely be able to put on a good performance," Chu Huanyu walked over to Chu Lingxi.
"Little sister Lingxi, it's better that we work together. How could this Chu Huanyu possibly match me?" Immediately after that, Chu Haoyan also arrived beside Chu Lingxi.
The two of them both knew that Chu Ruoshi would definitely not enter the Nine Moons Sacred Domain with them. Thus, Chu Lingxi became their most optimal partner.
"Chu Haoyan, are you stating that you're stronger than me? In that case, why don't we have a match right now?" Chu Huanyu said in a very displeased manner after seeing Chu Haoyan coming over to compete with him.
"Come at me, how could I fear an injured man like you?" Chu Haoyan accepted without any hesitation.
"You're speaking as if you aren't injured yourself. Come, let us fight right now," As Chu Huanyu spoke, he soared into the sky.
Chu Haoyan was not to be outdone either. He also soared into the sky.
For the sake of fighting over the opportunity to partner with Chu Lingxi and enter the Yin Yang Gate with her, Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu, two of the strongest members of the younger generation in the Chu Heavenly Clan, were actually going to fight one another.
Right at that moment, Chu Lingxi suddenly said, "Don't bother fighting. Chu Huanyu, we will enter together."
"Little sister Lingxi, you're... really planning to choose him? How is he stronger than me?" Chu Haoyan was very shocked. At the same time, he also felt extremely unwilling to accept Chu Lingxi's decision.
"There is no need for you to question this young lady's decision," Chu Lingxi said disapprovingly. As she spoke, she turned around and left.
Compared to Chu Haoyan, Chu Huanyu was overjoyed at this turn of events. He immediately descended to the ground and arrived beside Chu Lingxi. With a very gentle tone, he asked, "Little sister Lingxi, when should we awaken our Yin Yang Fate Pearls together?"
"There's no need to do it together. It would do for each of us to awaken our own Yin Yang Fate Pearls," Chu Lingxi did not stop her footsteps. In fact, she did not even bother to take a glance at Chu Huanyu.
However, even with that being the case, Chu Huanyu still smiled and didn't say anything, even though he clearly knew that the Yin Yang Fate Pearls would be more effective should the two of them attempt to awaken them together.
"Ruoshi," Right at that moment, a man walked over to Chu Ruoshi.
That man was very handsome and honest-looking. With a smile on his face, he appeared very amiable and approachable. This was especially true for the gaze that he looked at Chu Ruoshi with; it was filled with gentleness.
As for the man's cultivation, although it was decent, it was much weaker than Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu's cultivations.
He was only a rank five True Immortal.
Everyone knew who he was. He was Chu Ruoshi's childhood sweetheart. Thus, the crowd didn't pay much attention to it when he walked over to Chu Ruoshi. Even for those people that did look at him, their eyes were only filled with disgust.
The reason for that was because the people of the Chu Heavenly Clan simply considered him to be a toad that had successfully managed to consume a swan's meat.
That said, Chu Feng's attention was actually caught by Chu Ruoshi's sweetheart.
"What's wrong? You couldn't possibly have fallen for that Chu Ruoshi, right?" Her Lady Queen joked as she saw Chu Feng being so interested in Chu Ruoshi's sweetheart.
"How could I?" Chu Feng smiled.
"Then why are you paying so much attention to him?" Her Lady Queen asked.
"I feel that person is very strange," Chu Feng said.
"What's wrong about him?" Her Lady Queen asked.
"He appeared very unremarkable in the crowd. In fact, I didn't even notice him."
"However now, after he walked out from the crowd, I feel him to be extremely extraordinary," Chu Feng said.
"What's extraordinary about him?" Her Lady Queen asked.
"It's hard for me to tell. However, my intuition tells me that that person... is absolutely not a benevolent person," Chu Feng said.

Chapter 2982 - Regarding Chu Zhiyuan
Right at this moment, Chu Ruoshi's sweetheart seemed to have noticed Chu Feng's gaze, and actually turned around to look at Chu Feng.
Seeing that Chu Feng was actually really looking at him, he started to walk toward Chu Feng. After he arrived before Chu Feng, he clasped his fist respectfully and said, "I am Chu Zhiyuan. My father and your father are of the same generation. We are also of the same generation. I am older than you, so, if you do not mind, I should be addressing you as lil brother Chu Feng."
"It would do for you to address me as Chu Feng," Chu Feng also clasped his fist respectfully.
The reason why Chu Feng said that was because he refused to address Chu Zhiyuan as his older brother. Even though it was only intuition, Chu Feng firmly believed in his intuition.
Since Chu Feng already felt danger from this Chu Zhiyuan, Chu Feng would naturally not try to associate himself with him excessively. At the very least... he would not attempt to become brotherly with him.
"Very well, I will address you as Chu Feng then. You can address me as Chu Zhiyuan," Chu Zhiyuan was truly intelligent. He understood Chu Feng's desire to maintain some distance from him.
"Regardless, I must thank you today. Had you not discovered the method to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Pearls, I fear that we would not have been able to awaken our Flame Extinguishing Pearls so easily," Chu Zhiyuan said.
"You don't have to thank me," Chu Feng said indifferently. Then, he looked to Chu Yue, "Big sis Chu Yue, weren't you in a rush to have me return so that you can explain what the Yin Yang Fate Pearls are to me?"
"That's right, you still don't know what the Yin Yang Fate Pearls are. I must explain them to you properly," Chu Yue was quite smart too. She understood Chu Feng's intention, and reacted to Chu Feng's words very smoothly.
"My apologies. Entering the Nine Moons Sacred Domain is a rare opportunity. I'm afraid I will have to take my leave first," Chu Feng said to Chu Zhiyuan.
"Alas, there is no need for the apology. You've already returned to the clan now; we will have many more opportunities to see one another. Let us drink to our heart's content another day," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"In that case, I will take my leave now," Chu Feng clasped his hand, turned around and left with Chu Yue.
That said, even though Chu Yue had reacted perfectly to Chu Feng's excuse, sinister coldness flashed through Chu Zhiyuan's eyes after Chu Yue and Chu Feng left.
His gaze was very difficult to detect. Not to mention the others, even Chu Feng did not notice it.
Upon returning to Chu Feng's residence, Chu Yue asked, "Little brother Chu Feng, you seem to not be fond of that Chu Zhiyuan. Could it be that you also like Chu Ruoshi?"
"No, that's not it. I am merely truly in a rush to learn about the Yin Yang Fate Pearls. That said... I am a bit curious about that Chu Zhiyuan. Might big sister Chu Yue be able to tell me about him?" Chu Feng said.
"Of course," Chu Yue did not attempt to conceal anything, and began to tell Chu Feng all that she knew about Chu Zhiyuan.
It turned out that Chu Zhiyuan was not a nobody either. In fact, he was even deemed a martial cultivation genius at one point.
Chu Zhiyuan was two years younger than the current number one ranker on the Demon-level Geniuses List, Chu Qing.
When Chu Zhiyuan first started cultivating, he was, together with Chu Qing, deemed to be a candidate to be the next Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief.
Unfortunately, geniuses were separated into two kinds.
The first type of genius continues to shine all the way until they reached the apex of their genius.
As for the second type of genius, they are akin to a shooting star that will only shine for an extremely short period of time.
Chu Qing belonged to the first type.
Unfortunately, Chu Zhiyuan belonged to the second type.
At the age of twenty, Chu Zhiyuan sparred against Chu Qing and lost. That setback completely ruined Chu Zhiyuan's career, causing him to become depressed for a very long time.
Even though Chu Zhiyuan gradually regained his fighting spirit and started to cultivate again after being comforted and accompanied by Chu Ruoshi, he was already cast far behind by Chu Qing by then.
The Chu Qing of that time was the publicly accepted number one genius of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generation.
As for Chu Zhiyuan, the person who had once fought with Chu Qing for the number one spot, he had fallen to only being among the mid-upper tier. He had become inferior to even Chu Ruoshi.
In the blink of an eye, several decades had passed. Apart from Chu Qing and Chu Ruoshi, Chu Huanyu, Chu Haoyan and Chu Lingxi, those three geniuses, appeared in succession.
As for Chu Zhiyuan, he had never been able to return to the peak.
Fortunately, Chu Ruoshi continued to stand by him. The relationship the two of them possessed was truly excellent.
As for Chu Zhiyuan, his nature also changed completely. He no longer fought for reputation and benefits. Even when others declared him to be a toad that successfully managed to eat a swan's meat, he still reacted as if he did not hear them, and did not try to fight those people.
"Actually, Chu Zhiyuan's character is very good. He is very friendly to us of the younger generation. He behaves very much like an older brother," Chu Yue said to Chu Feng. It could be seen that her impression of Chu Zhiyuan was quite decent.
"If he truly is like an older brother, why didn't he say a single word for you when no one was willing to help you awaken your Flame Extinguishing Pearl today?" Chu Feng asked.
"This…" Chu Yue grew silent and began to ponder. Soon, she thought of something and said, "I think it should be because he also knew that his words would be ineffective."
"Even though he was born of great status, and his grandfather is one of our Chu Heavenly Clan's Utmost Exalted Elders, his grandfather had never attempted to involve himself with Chu Zhiyuan's business. Even when others spoke of him being a toad and Chu Ruoshi being a swan before his grandfather's face, his grandfather would only pretend not to hear them."
"Our Chu Heavenly Clan's Utmost Exalted Elders are all existences that will bring about fear just from seeing them. However, Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather is the only Utmost Exalted Elder who allows us to remain calm and relaxed in his presence."
"Perhaps because his grandfather is too easy to get along with, no one ended up becoming afraid of Chu Zhiyuan."
"I guess this is what it means by 'one will be taken advantage of by others should one be too benevolent, a horse will be ridden by another should it be too benevolent.' Actually, I feel Chu Zhiyuan to be quite pitiful, much more pitiful than us even."
"The reason why we were unable to raise our heads in the Chu Heavenly Clan is because our background is insufficient, and we didn't have anyone to back us up. However, it is different for Chu Zhiyuan."
"His grandfather is clearly capable of standing up for him. Yet, he refuses to do so. Furthermore, both of his parents are dead. His only relative right now is his grandfather," When Chu Yue spoke till this point, sympathy actually filled her eyes.
Chu Feng knew that Chu Yue had been deceived by Chu Zhiyuan's disguise.
Regardless of what sort of past, what sort of backstory, Chu Zhiyuan might possess, regardless of how pitiful he might seem, Chu Feng firmly believed that Chu Zhiyuan was not as simple as he appeared to be, that he was in fact very dangerous.
Thus, Chu Feng no longer wanted to continue with this topic. He said, "Big sis Chu Yue, you should tell me about the Yin Yang Fate Pearls."
"Ah, okay," Chu Yue nodded repeatedly. Then, she began to tell Chu Feng about the Yin Yang Fate Pearls.
Meanwhile, in the Chu Heavenly Clan's most sacred palace hall. Three old men were gathered.
That palace hall was called the Chu Clan's Main Palace. Apart from the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief, only the Chu Heavenly Clan's Utmost Exalted Elders were allowed to enter.
Apart from them, not even the Law Enforcement Hall's Hall Master possessed the qualifications to enter that palace hall.
Thus, the three old men in this palace hall were all Utmost Exalted Elders of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
"Exiled trash is still exiled trash. I strongly disagree with emphasizing the nurture of that Chu Feng."
One of the three old men spoke with an incomparably firm tone.

Chapter 2983 - Chu Qing's Challenge
"Exiled trash is still exiled trash. I strongly disagree with emphasizing the nurture of that Chu Feng."
The person who said those words was none other than Chu Haoyan's grandfather.
Apart from Chu Haoyan's grandfather, there were two other Utmost Exalted Elders present in this palace hall.
One of them was Chu Hanpeng.
As for the other, he possessed a benevolent-looking face. Furthermore, his appearance somewhat resembled that of Chu Ruoshi's sweetheart.
That person was Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather.
Inside the palace hall, the main seat was completely empty. No one dared to sit on it. The reason for that was because that seat was something that only the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief could sit in.
As such, the three of them were all seated beneath the main seat.
Chu Hanpeng was currently enjoying tea. He was acting calm and indifferent; it was as if he had not heard what Chu Haoyan's grandfather said.
However, Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather immediately started refuting Chu Haoyan's grandfather. He said, "Chu Feng was deemed to be trash back then because he was deemed to be unable to cultivate. However, he has now revealed his talent for cultivation. No matter what his father has done, he remains a member of our Chu Heavenly Clan. If we do not emphasize the nurture of a talent like him, what sort of people should our Chu Heavenly Clan nurture?"
"What use is there in nurturing him? Are you not afraid that he will end up like his father and become an enemy of our Chu Heavenly Clan?" Chu Haoyan's grandfather said.
"That claim is too excessive, no? Since when has Chu Xuanyuan become an enemy of our Chu Heavenly Clan?"
"Furthermore, what happened in one's father's generation is unrelated to the younger generation."
"Even though your grandson has been defeated by Chu Feng, you shouldn't deliberately try to make things difficult for him like this," Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather said.
Chu Haoyan's grandfather did not become angry after hearing those words. Instead, his eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "We should judge the matter as it stands. There'S no need to involve Haoyan. In all these years, I have never deliberately made things difficult for anyone because of Haoyan."
"Is that so? Why is it that I've heard that you will deliberately make things difficult for anyone that dares to speak ill of your grandson?" Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather said.
"You are simply spouting nonsense and framing me!" Chu Haoyan's grandfather shouted.
"Have the two of you finished quarreling?" Right at that moment, Chu Hanpeng, who had been quiet the entire time, finally spoke.
Once Chu Hanpeng spoke, Chu Haoyan's grandfather and Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather immediately shut their mouths and said no more.
From this, it could be seen that even though they were all one of the Chu Heavenly Clan's nine Utmost Exalted Elders, Chu Hanpeng's status surpassed their own.
"Chu Feng's return to the clan is already a reality. As such, he should receive the normal treatment provided by our clan. I have already decided upon this matter, do you have any objections?" Chu Hanpeng looked to Chu Haoyan's grandfather.
"I wouldn't dare," Chu Haoyan's grandfather spoke with a soft voice. His gaze was actually filled with nervousness.
"It's good that you don't," Chu Hanpeng stood up and looked to Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather, "I will continue with my closed-door training now. You will handle things in the clan while I'm training."
"Yes," Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to Chu Hanpeng.
As for Chu Hanpeng, after he finished saying those words, he walked out of the palace hall.
After Chu Hanpeng left, Chu Haoyan's grandfather revealed a dark and sinister expression.
"It would appear that you will not be able to stand up for your grandson," Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather said with a smile on his face. His smile contained a trace of mockery.
"No matter what, my grandson surpasses your grandson," Chu Haoyan's grandfather said.
"Haha..." Hearing those words, Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather burst into loud laughter.
"Humph," Chu Haoyan's grandfather was utterly flustered. He waved his sleeve and left.
He knew very well what Chu Hanpeng's intention was.
The reason why Chu Hanpeng had Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather handle the important matters within the clan during his closed-door training was because Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather had shielded Chu Feng.
While Chu Haoyan's grandfather was not afraid of Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather, it was impossible for him to not be afraid of Chu Hanpeng.
Thus, he knew that regardless of how much he detested Chu Feng, he could not touch him.
Chu Feng had no idea about this conversation between the three Utmost Exalted Elders.
While they were having their conversation, Chu Feng had been listening to Chu Yue explaining the Yin Yang Fate Pearls to him.
"I truly never expected that there would be so much to the Yin Yang Fate Pearls," Chu Feng was very excited.
He had learned from Chu Yue that the Yin Yang Fate Pearls were separated into many different levels.
From weak to strong, they were respectively, Microstar, Macrostar, Half-moon, Full-moon and Sun-moon.
The cooperation between the two people was extremely important to determining what level of Yin Yang Pearl one would obtain. That was the reason why two people had to awaken the Yin Yang Pearls together.
Different level Yin Yang Fate Pearls possessed different effects inside the Yin Yang Gate. Thus, awakening a stronger Yin Yang Fate Pearl was simply something that everyone wanted to accomplish.
"With little brother Chu Feng's talent, it will definitely be a walk in the park for you to awaken a powerful Yin Yang Fate Pearl. You might even be able to awaken a Half-moon Yin Yang Fate Pearl."
"Little brother Chu Feng, wait here for a moment. I will go and prepare the materials we need. After that, we shall awaken the Yin Yang Fate Pearls," after saying those words, Chu Yue quickly left. It could be seen that she was extremely enthusiastic about being able to train in the Nine Moons Sacred Domain.
After Chu Yue left, Chu Feng looked to the direction of the gate. He said, "Since you've come, why not show yourself?"
"As expected of an Exalted-cloak World Spiritist. Your perception is truly extraordinary."
After Chu Feng said those words, a person really appeared.
That person was a young man. He possessed a tall stature and dark skin. He had a brilliant smile on his face from the moment he revealed himself.
Most importantly, that person's aura was very strong. Chu Feng was actually incapable of determining his cultivation. However, Chu Feng was able to determine that he should be a member of the younger generation.
"Could you be... Chu Qing?" Chu Feng asked.
Chu Feng had met practically all of the Chu Heavenly Clan's younger generation's geniuses. The only person he hadn't met yet was Chu Qing.
The strength of the man before him matched that of the rumored Chu Qing greatly.
"It would seem that little brother Chu Feng has heard of me. That's right, I am Chu Qing," Chu Qing said with a smile on his face.
"He is that person who was ranked first on the Demon-level Geniuses List five times in succession, the rival of Chu Zhiyuan when he was younger, the Chu Heavenly Clan's current strongest member of the younger generation, Chu Qing?" Even Her Lady Queen's eyes started to shine upon seeing Chu Qing.
The reason for that was because that Chu Qing was truly renowned.
"What might have brought big brother Chu Qing here today?"
After verifying the man's identity, Chu Feng immediately addressed him as 'big brother.' The reason for that was because Chu Feng now felt a completely opposite feeling from the feeling he got from Chu Zhiyuan.
While Chu Zhiyuan felt very dangerous to him, Chu Qing gave off a feeling of righteousness.
"I wish to spar against little brother Chu Feng," Chu Qing said.

Chapter 2984 - Queen Vs. Chu Qing
"You've come to challenge me?" Chu Feng asked.
"I wouldn't call it a challenge. It's merely a spar. To be exact, I wish to spar with that young lady inside your world spirit space. However, since she is your friend, the one that would be sparring against me would be you," Chu Qing said with a smile on his face.
Even though he had come to challenge Chu Feng, he still behaved very courteously, and even somewhat humbly.
"I must ask her about this," Chu Feng said.
"Very well," Chu Qing nodded.
"There's no need to bother asking, this Queen will play with him," Her Lady Queen said to Chu Feng before he could ask her.
"My dear Eggy, that Chu Qing is not a simple character. Even I am unable to tell if he's still a True Immortal," Chu Feng urged against it. He did not wish for Her Lady Queen to fight against Chu Qing.
As Chu Feng was unable to determine how powerful Chu Qing was, he was afraid that Her Lady Queen would be in danger.
"It doesn't matter. Even if I am to lose, it wouldn't do anything. It's not like I'll lose my flesh or limbs."
"However, should I win, the title of the number one genius in the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm will become yours," Her Lady Queen said.
"But…" Chu Feng knew that Her Lady Queen wanted to accept the challenge for his sake. However, the more it was this way, the more unwilling Chu Feng became. He didn't want Eggy to fight for his sake.
"There's no buts. Quickly, let this Queen out. Stop acting so overly sensitive. This Queen has not exercised properly for a long time now. Today, I will properly reveal my capabilities," Her Lady Queen said.
With the situation being like that, Chu Feng would not be able to change Her Lady Queen's mind. Thus, he ended up opening his World Spirit Gate.
After the World Spirit Gate opened, Her Lady Queen immediately walked out from it and began to size Chu Qing up. With a provocative tone, she said, "The number one genius of the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm's younger generations is not up to much."
Faced with Her Lady Queen's provocation, Chu Qing only smiled in a good-natured manner. He said, "I am Chu Qing. It is my pleasure to meet you, young lady."
"Tsk, don't think that this Queen will be lenient on you just because you're acting friendly. You need to prepare yourself to be beaten half-dead fighting this Queen," Her Lady Queen did not appreciate Chu Qing's courtesy at all.
"It is inevitable for one to be injured in a spar. If young lady is to injure me, I will definitely not complain at all. However… I will definitely not injure you. Otherwise…" After saying those words, Chu Qing looked to Chu Feng. With a smile on his face, he said, "... I'm afraid little brother Chu Feng will try to kill me."
Chu Qing's words possessed a hidden implication.
It seemed that he had come prepared. He even knew that the relationship between Chu Feng and Her Lady Queen was extraordinary. No wonder he addressed Her Lady Queen as 'young lady' from the very start, and not 'world spirit.'
He was being respectful toward Her Lady Queen, and respectful toward Chu Feng.
Of course, this also revealed Chu Qing's character.
He was very unpretentious, and also cared greatly about Chu Feng's feelings. As the strongest person of the younger generation in the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm at the moment, it was truly hard to believe that he would act in such a manner.
However, Her Lady Queen evidently did not care about Chu Qing's courteous behavior.
That was understandable too. Apart from Chu Feng and some women that she was fond of, Her Lady Queen had never revealed her gentle side to anyone else.
"Enough of the superfluous words. If you want to spar, let us begin immediately," as Her Lady Queen spoke, she began to walk outside.
She knew very well that, with the strength that she and Chu Qing possessed, the room would definitely not have sufficient space for them to fight.
Not to mention the room, the entire palace hall would likely be destroyed completely by their power.
"There's no need to go out. It would do for us to spar here."
As Chu Qing spoke, he raised his arm, and a body of light blossomed from his hand.
When that body of light blossomed, it covered the entire surrounding area.
When that body of light dissipated, Chu Feng was surprised to discover that the three of them were no longer inside the room. Instead, they were in a vast and boundless starry sky.
What Chu Qing had used was a treasure, a treasure containing an isolated space.
Chu Feng and the others had not left the room. Instead, they had entered that treasure's isolated space.
"Paa~~~"
Right at that moment, Chu Qing snapped his fingers. Immediately, a body of light appeared beside Chu Feng.
That body of light was no small matter. It was simply an indestructible defensive formation.
At the very least, it was a defensive formation so powerful that the current Chu Feng would not be able to destroy it even if he were to go all-out attacking it.
"You're capable of controlling this space?" Chu Feng asked.
The reason why Chu Feng asked this question was because he was worried that Chu Qing was capable of controlling the space to gain a certain level of power over others present. Should that be the case, the match between him and Her Lady Queen would be extremely unfair.
"Little brother Chu Feng, please rest assured. I will absolutely not use any other external power. Instead, I will rely on my own strength to spar against that friend of yours," Chu Qing said.
"Rooarr~~~"
Right at that moment, Her Lady Queen unleashed her attack. Dark black gaseous flames were unleashed by Her Lady Queen. Like a magnificent army of thousands of men and horses, they began to charge at Chu Qing.
Her Lady Queen unleashed her heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting five levels of cultivation from the very start. She was truly showing Chu Qing no quarter.
However, Chu Qing's perception was extremely powerful. At the moment when Her Lady Queen unleashed her attack, Chu Qing immediately flung his sleeve and sent forth ten bodies of martial power.
It was an Immortal Technique. Chu Qing's Immortal Technique was very strange. When the ten bodies of martial power appeared, they immediately turned into ten enormous mountains that stood before Chu Qing.
Although the mountains were incapable of stopping Her Lady Queen's attack, they managed to successfully slow her attack. As such, it could be said that they had obstructed Her Lady Queen.
At the same time as the ten mountains were hindering Her Lady Queen's attack, light appeared under Chu Qing's feet. Chu Qing's body started to rapidly move backwards. His speed was simply too fast. Even when trying his hardest, Chu Feng was only barely able to see Chu Qing and the light under his feet.
It was also an Immortal Technique. It was a sort of Immortal Technique that increased one's speed.
"Rank nine True Immortal?"
At that moment, Chu Feng's expression changed. Regardless of how well Chu Qing had concealed himself, Chu Feng was still capable of sensing his cultivation the moment he unleashed his defense.
Rank nine True Immortal, that was Chu Qing's cultivation.
"Rumble~~~"
As Chu Qing was moving back explosively, light started to fill the dark starry sky.
Lightning was scattering about in all directions. Like a sea of lightning, they soon filled the entire sky.
At the same time, a Lightning Mark appeared on Chu Qing's forehead.
It was a Heaven level Lightning Mark. Chu Qing had also trained in the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Technique.
Chu Qing was already a rank nine True Immortal, an actual peak True Immortal, someone only a thin line away from becoming a Heavenly Immortal.
However, there was an irreversible element between the True Immortal realm and the Heavenly Immortal realm. Thus, even though Chu Qing had unleashed his Heaven level Lightning Mark that was capable of increasing his cultivation, his cultivation remained that of a rank nine True Immortal. He did not manage to break through to rank one Heavenly Immortal.
That said, even though he didn't manage to increase his cultivation to that of a Heavenly Immortal, he still benefited from using his Heaven level Lightning Mark.
Chu Qing had gained heaven-defying battle power. Although Chu Qing's heaven-defying battle power was only capable of surmounting one level of cultivation, his current strength was not at all weaker than Her Lady Queen's rank five True Immortal cultivation and heaven-defying battle power capable of surmounting five levels of cultivation.
Furthermore, a silver spear also appeared in Chu Qing's hand.
That was an Incomplete Immortal Armament. Furthermore, it was a top quality Incomplete Immortal Armament.
With that Incomplete Immortal Armament in hand, Chu Qing's battle power increased once again.
"Young lady, I am going to attack now," after Chu Qing said these words, his body shifted. The spear in his hand started flying toward Her Lady Queen.
As Her Lady Queen was attacking Chu Qing to begin with, and Chu Qing's speed was extremely fast, the moment he changed directions and rushed toward Her Lady Queen, he collided with Her Lady Queen's black gaseous flames in the blink of an eye.
Even though Chu Qing was facing Her Lady Queen's dark black gaseous flames that resembled a magnificent army of thousands of men and horses, the dark black gaseous flames that covered the sky and earth, he remained completely composed, and showed no sign of fear.
As Chu Qing brandished the spear in his hand, a silver dragon appeared around him.
The silver dragon swung itself. Everything in its path was swept away. Chu Qing seemed to be completely unstoppable.
At that moment, the black flames were dispersed. Chu Qing actually managed to open a path for himself within the black flames. He was rushing straight for Her Lady Queen.
At that moment, Chu Feng involuntarily started clenching his fists. He was frowning.
This was the first time Chu Feng had been worried for Her Lady Queen when she fought against someone with the same strength as herself.
That Chu Qing was truly powerful!!!
