Chapter 1053 – Ancient Era's Immortal Needle
Although the description the Vermillion Bird used to describe Qing Xuantian appeared to be one of arrogance, it was sufficient to show how powerful Qing Xuantian was. At the very least, it had shown that the limit of Martial Emperors, their life expectancy was, for the time being, not something that could baffle him.
However, it was obvious that even if Qing Xuantian was still living, he had never returned back to the Holy Land of Martialism. If he had, it wouldn't make sense for the Holy Land of Martialism to not have any news of him after that battle, and have everyone thinking he had perished together with the Magma Emperor.
Thus, Chu Feng felt that Qing Xuantian might've left the Holy Land of Martialism. As for where Qing Xuantian had gone to, it was very possible for that place to be where Chu Feng's family currently resided in. In other words, that so-called Outer World.
Although this was merely his guess, Chu Feng felt that its possibility was very likely. After all, Qing Xuantian was that powerful. When one reached a certain level of strength, one would begin to pursue a new realm. Since he had the strength to step foot onto a new domain, there would be no reason for him to stay here and make no headway.
Of course, this was merely Chu Feng's guess. It might be possible that Qing Xuantian had been wearied by the battle and ended up finding a place to hide himself to train. That too was not impossible.
However, regardless of what it might be, it remains true that Qing Xuantian could still be alive.
Unfortunately, Chu Feng could not mention this to anyone. Not only did he possess no proof, even if someone truly believed him, they would have ended up thinking that he was related with Qing Xuantian. This would inevitably attract life-threatening misfortunes to him. Like that, the gains from revealing that would certainly be inferior to the losses.
Thus, Chu Feng decided that he must handle this matter carefully. Unless he had no other option, he would definitely not reveal the relationship he had with Qing Xuantian. He would go so far as to not use the Secret Skills again. In this place, the records about Qing Xuantian ought to be even more distinct as everyone knew that Qing Xuantian was not a legend but instead the Greatest Martial Emperor.
If, by chance, there were records regarding the four Divine Beasts, records regarding their appearance as well as their powers, then the Secret Skills displayed by Chu Feng would inevitably be discovered by those who are attentive. Once that happened, he would definitely bring about an enormous calamity upon himself.
"The Greatest Martial Emperor might not necessarily be dead." However, right at this moment, the voice of an elderly man sounded. Turning their heads back to look, it was Sikong Zhaixing.
Although this warship was being steered by Sikong Zhaixing, due to his power, there wasn't a need for him to sit within the center of the formation. As long as he was located on the warship, he would be able to steer the warship with unrestrained movement. This was also the power of Half Martial Emperors. They had already been freed of many bindings of other martial cultivators.
"Lord Headmaster, you said that the Greatest Martial Emperor might be still alive? Is this true?" Upon hearing the words of Sikong Zhaixing, Wang Wei's eyes displayed expressions of joy. Slightly emotional, she immediately asked.
"The Greatest Martial Emperor is a mystery to begin with. He is a Divine Body that grasped Divine Powers. Not only does he possess peerless talent, his battle power is even more overflowing. However, no one knows where the Greatest Martial Emperor came from or which family he was born into. At the very least, the strongest families in the Holy Land of Martialism back then were all unrelated with the Greatest Martial Emperor."
"Legend has it that someone have investigated about the origins of the Greatest Martial Emperor back then. That person gathered the information of all the abnormal signs when the Divine Bodies arrived in the Holy Land of Martialism. After verifying them, he discovered that not a single abnormal sign fit the Divine Power that the Greatest Martial Emperor grasped."
"Thus, there are people that speculate that the Greatest Martial Emperor is simply not someone from our Holy Land of Martialism. That is believed to be the reason why he has power that people from the Holy Land of Martialism don't have. He was able to come here without a sound, so he'd naturally be able to leave without a sound. That was why there are people that guessed that the Greatest Martial Emperor did not die." said Sikong Zhaixing.
"In that case, where did the Greatest Martial Emperor come from?" Wang Wei hurriedly asked. She was truly and utterly interested in the things regarding the Greatest Martial Emperor.
"Heh, if someone knew about that, then it would no longer be a mystery." Sikong Zhaixing lightly smiled. He then said, "Although I do not know where the Greatest Martial Emperor came from, what I do know is that we have already arrived at the destination of our journey."
After hearing what Sikong Zhaixing said, both Chu Feng and Wang Wei suddenly realized that they had arrived and hurriedly cast their gazes down below the front of the warship. They discovered a boundless plain underneath the warship.
The plain was huge, extremely huge. Not only was it huge, it was also very mysterious, mysteriously beautiful.
That was because that boundless plain was filled with white mist. The mist was too thick, it was thicker than even the clouds. The mist practically covered the entire plain, covering the true appearance of the plain.
As far as the eye can see, that place did not appear like a plain and instead appeared more like the land of Immortals. It was truly beautiful beyond imagination and an incomparably magnificent sight. Even though Chu Feng had seen a lot of beautiful sceneries before, his heart still trembled at the sight of this plain. A carefree and relaxed sensation flowed into him.
That was because this plain was truly too enormous. It was truly all that one's eye could see. Compared to the Southern Cyanwood Forest's ocean of trees that reached the sky, this plain was many times more vast. Such a boundless plain was filled with boundless white mist. Naturally, it was a magnificent sight.
"Wow, there's so many people!" Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm. It turned out that after knowing that they had arrived at the location of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, everyone had come over to the bow of the warship and was looking down.
At this moment, the warship was flying very low. Adding on the fact the cultivators possessed outstanding eyesight to begin with, they were able to vaguely see that large groups of people were gathered outside of that plain. They were currently proceeding into the plain from different directions.
Other than the people traveling on the ground, there were also many figures in the air. There were enormous warships as well as monstrous beasts that had been tamed as mounts. Some were currently flying downward like gales and lightnings whereas others had flown towards the vast ocean of mist to appreciate the beautiful scenery of this place at close range.
In short, a large quantity of people had appeared. An initial estimation of the people currently proceeding toward the plain would number in the ten million. This number was truly astonishing.
"This is merely the tip of the iceberg. Every year when the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond opens, at least a hundred million people would come to seek out its fame. I believe the majority of them has already arrived within the boundless ocean of mist now." said the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster.
"That many? The price of entering the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond is that high, there's actually that many people who are capable of paying such a price?" Hearing those words, everyone was astonished.
"Haha, you all are thinking too much about this. The Ancient Era's Immortal Pond is actually always covered up by a large formation. Not only would one be incapable of entering the plain, one cannot even see it. That is because that large formation is capable of concealing this entire boundless plain."
"These people are merely those that have come to seek its fame, people that wished to see the residences of the Ancient Era's Elves. As for the number of people that were truly capable of entering the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond to train, they would number no more than ten thousand." said the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster.
"Close to ten thousand people, was it? Then doesn't it mean that close to or over ten thousand high quality Royal Armaments would end up in the Ancient Era's Elves' hands? That is no small number!"
Although the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster had cleared the doubt in the hearts of the disciples, but upon thinking that the Ancient Era's Elves would obtain over ten thousand high quality Royal Armaments every year, everyone present all gasped in astonishment.
Even though they were all the most outstanding disciples and all possessed high quality Royal Armaments, but those were all gifts that their headmasters had given to them before sending them off to the Cyanwood Mountain. In other words, before receiving those gifts, it was very rare for even them, who were so outstanding, to possess any high quality Royal Armaments. Therefore, they knew very well how precious the high quality Royal Armaments were.
"Lord Headmaster, what is that?" Right at this moment, Chu Feng cast his gaze at the depths of the ocean of mist.
"Mn? What's wrong?" Following the direction pointed by Chu Feng, many disciples felt to be at a loss. They were completely confused. That was because the only thing they saw were the boundless white mist. Other than those boundless white mist, there was simply nothing else there.
"Little friend Chu Feng, your eyesight is truly great. With your cultivation, you actually managed to see that thing."
At this moment, the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster was unable to help himself from commending Chu Feng. Actually, other than him, all of the management elders present looked to Chu Feng with gazes containing surprise and admiration. This was especially true for the management elders from the Cloud Thunder Pavilion, their gazes even contained jealousy that could not be concealed.
Seeing his outstanding disciple, Chu Feng's headmaster, Sikong Zhaixing, bursted into a loud laughter. He then looked toward the direction pointed out by Chu Feng and said, "That is called the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle."

Chapter 1054 – Three Kinds of Lightnings
"Ancient Era's Immortal Needle?" After hearing the words spoken by Sikong Zhaixing, the gaze Chu Feng looked to the boundless ocean of mist became even more focused.
It turned out the depths of this ocean of mist was a large sword-like enormous white needle. That thing was extremely big. It stretched forth from the ocean of mist all the way into the clouds above.
However, due to the fact that the distance was truly too far and the color of the enormous needle was not eye-catching at all, it made it simply impossible for ordinary people to see it. Even low rank Martial Kings were incapable of catching sight of it. However, Chu Feng was different. Chu Feng had trained in the Heaven's Eyes. Even if he did not use his Heaven's Eyes, his ordinary eyesight still greatly surpassed that of ordinary Martial Kings.
"The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle originated from the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Legend has it that if someone is capable of reaching the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, they would end up triggering this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, causing it to give off a dazzling lightning that covers half of the entire plain. It would be a magnificent sight."
"Moreover, it was said that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle would release different colors of lightning based on the race of the person who triggered it. For the Ancient Era's Elves, it would be green. For monstrous beasts and other beasts, it would be red. If it was a human that triggered it, it would give off a golden color." Explained Sikong Zhaixing.
"Doesn't that mean that although the Ancient Era's Elves are not human, they are also different from monstrous beasts?" After hearing that the color that would be triggered by the Ancient Era's Elves was different from humans and monstrous beasts, Chu Feng asked curiously.
"That's of course. The Ancient Era's Elves is a special kind of race. Their appearance is more similar to that of humans. However, their nature is different from humans to a certain degree. Their lifespan is generally longer than humans. Moreover, it was said that their talent for martial cultivation also greatly surpassed that of ordinary humans. That is because they controlled the power of a special kind of bloodline."
"In short, the Ancient Era's Elves are extremely powerful beings. According to legend, a turmoil had occurred in the Ancient Era before. All of the races from that era were extinguished. For the Ancient Era's Elves to be able to continue to live on, this signified how powerful they are. Thus, it must be said that they are a great race, a race that deserves our reverence and respect," explained Sikong Zhaixing.
"So it was like that. It would appear that the Ancient Era's Elves are truly a race that stands out from the masses." Chu Feng nodded. He then asked, "But, exactly how is this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle triggered? Do people contend for the control of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle after entering the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and the victor having the rights to trigger the lightning?"
"No, it's not that simple. If one wished to release the lightning in the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, one must trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. As for triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, one must reach the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond."
"The Ancient Era's Immortal Pond contains very dense natural energy as well as a special force. The deeper one proceeds, the stronger that force would become. However, not everyone is capable of withstanding that powerful force."
"Moreover, that force does not test one's cultivation. Instead, it tests one's willpower, endurance, determination and talent for cultivation."
"This is the reason why not everyone could reach the deepest part of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. As for those people that are capable of reaching the deepest part of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, they are all extremely extraordinary."
"It was also because of this that everyone felt that being able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is an extremely honorable and glorious thing."
"Thus, every year when the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds are opened, the goal of a portion of the people who entered it is not only to train and was instead triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle."
"That is because if any of them was able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, it signified that they are people who possessed exceptional talent. Not only would it bring about fame and honor for themselves, it would also bring about fame and honor to the entire human race."
"However, unfortunately, in the Cyanwood Region, in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond that is controlled by the Cyanwood Mountain, no one had ever managed to trigger its Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. As for the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds controlled by the Ancient Era's Elves, not a single human or monstrous beast has ever triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle either. Every single time when the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was triggered, it would always release a green colored lightning," explained Sikong Zhaixing.
"It was also because of this that there are people that guessed that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle would only release green colored lightning and that the gold colored lightning when triggered by humans and red colored lightning when triggered by monstrous beasts were simply nonsense. After all, up until now, every time the Ancient Era's Immortal Needles were triggered, the lightning released would always be green."
"There are even people who believed that there is simply no such thing as triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. They believed that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is simply not triggered by individuals but instead is a kind of uncontrollable natural phenomenon from the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds," added the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster.
"That's right. If the Ancient Era's Elves possessed the power to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needles, then they would be able to cause the Ancient Era's Immortal Needles to release green lightning every year. However, the puzzling matter is that every year the Ancient Era's Elves would enter the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds. However, for the Ancient Era's Immortal Needles in the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds, they have not released any lightning for over a dozen years now."
"That's why people felt that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle being able to be triggered is simply phoney, a lie that the Ancient Era's Elves created to display their might."
"The Ancient Era's Immortal Needles' lightning is simply a natural phenomenon." Sikong Zhaixing also nodded. He did not reject this theory from the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster and instead actually voiced his approval.
"No matter what, we'll know once we try it out for ourselves." Chu Feng did not take the speculation of Sikong Zhaixing and them to his heart. Instead, he gazed at the ancient and mysterious Ancient Era's Immortal Needle in the distant and displayed a slight smile.
"Junior brother Chu Feng, you couldn't possibly be thinking of entering the deepest part of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond to trigger that Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, right? I urge you to, by all means, not do such a thing." Seeing that Chu Feng's reaction was weird, Wang Wei secretly sent him a voice transmission to advise him against it.
"Why not?" Chu Feng was confused.
"Earlier, Lord Headmaster said that the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's deepest part contained very powerful energy. That energy is not something that ordinary people could withstand. If you're able to withstand it, then it wouldn't matter. But if you aren't able to do that, a light injury would be losing consciousness for several days whereas a serious injury would be exploding and dying on the spot."
"Going to the deepest part of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond is an extremely dangerous thing. Every year, there are many outstanding disciples, both humans and monstrous beasts, that end losing their lives in the deepest part of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond."
"That's also the reason why the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond has another name, the Graveyard of Geniuses," explained Wang Wei.
"Graveyard of Geniuses? Are you implying that no one has successfully entered the deepest part of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond?" Asked Chu Feng.
"That's not true either. There have indeed been people who have entered into the deepest part of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and returned alive. However, it was evident that none of them have truly managed to reach the deepest part. Instead, they've merely reached a place where they were able to withstand the energy, stopped and started training in the water."
"As for the Ancient Era's Elves, they too would enter the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds alongside us every year. Moreover, they would all be proceeding towards the deepest region. However, they are capable of returning safe and sound." Said Wang Wei.
"If they're able to do it, why is it that we are incapable?" Hearing Wang Wei's response, Chu Feng smiled. His smile contained a trace of stubbornness.

Chapter 1055 – Public Humiliation
"That's not true. Legend has it that the Ancient Era's Elves were birthed from these Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds. The power of the Ancient Era's Elves' bloodline is inseparable from the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds. Thus, they are naturally able to train in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond as they wish."
"However, we are incapable of doing that. We are incompatible with the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds. If we wanted to enter into the deepest region, it would be a test of our willpower. In short, that place is truly dangerous." Wang Wei advised. Journeying with Chu Feng for these days, she had come to, more or less, an understanding of Chu Feng. She felt that although Chu Feng was powerful, he would oftentimes handle matters too extremely without consideration for consequences.
She feared that Chu Feng would, for the purpose of obtaining stronger strength, or, as others say it, for the purpose of the human race's honor and glory, enter into the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond to trigger that Ancient Era's Immortal Needle that no one knew if it was real or not, activatable or not, and lose his life doing that.
"Senior sister Wang Wei, thank you for your good intentions. However, I still wish to try entering the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. After all, we have already paid such an expensive admission fee. If I do not go and try to enter that place, then it would truly be a waste."
"However, senior sister Wang Wei could rest assured. Although I, Chu Feng, am sometimes reckless in the way I handle things, I am still someone who knows about propriety. I would definitely not insist on going somewhere alone if I know that I would be killed for sure."
"If I am a person that foolish, I would likely not be able to live up till today, much less coming to the Holy Land of Martialism." As if he had seen through what Wang Wei was thinking, Chu Feng smiled and said to her with a voice transmission.
After hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Wei was startled. An embarrassed expression soon appeared on her face. She suddenly felt that she had underestimated Chu Feng too much. It was exactly as Chu Feng had said, if he truly was a reckless person, how could he possibly be able to safely continue living on till now?
Thus, Wang Wei stopped trying to advise Chu Feng against it and instead displayed an apologetic smile at him.
"Let's go. We have seen enough of the scenery now, it's time for us to descend. If my calculation of the timing is correct, then this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond is soon to open." Right at this moment, Sikong Zhaixing lightly smiled and said.
Soon, with an intention from him, the warship began to fly downward. Due to the fact that they were currently above the ocean of mist, this led to them entering into that ocean of mist when the warship started to descend. In an instant, the surrounding scenery was completely replaced with white mist.
After they passed through the ocean of mist, a new scenery appeared before their eyes.
The first thing that entered Chu Feng and the other's eyes were countless moving figures. Of course, there were some enormous monstrous beasts among them. As far as the eye could see, there were at the very least close to a million such figures.
The people were in many different groups of three to five. The majority of them came from different powers. However, there were also many loners. But, regardless, it was exactly as what Sikong Zhaixing and the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster had said – the number of people who have come here to join in the fun were truly numerous.
At this moment, Chu Feng's gaze did not stop on these densely packed figures like ants. His gaze was cast toward the deepest part, toward the top of that enormous wall that reached all the way into the ocean of mist.
That wall's construction was awfully spectacular. Moreover, both its form and appearance stood out from the masses. It was formed with enormous white stones that gave it not only firm stability but also artistic aesthetics.
The most important matter was that the wall sealed off everyone's line of sight. Even though Chu Feng knew that what might be located behind that wall might be the home of the Ancient Era's Elves, he was still incapable of seeing past the wall.
That was because a special power was embedded into this wall. It caused even Chu Feng's Heaven's Eyes to be incapable of seeing through it. In fact, the entire plain was like an enormous formation. At the moment when Chu Feng passed through that boundless ocean of mist, he was shocked to discover that he was no longer capable of using his spirit power. This was definitely because of that invisible formation.
"Look, it's the Southern Cyanwood Forest."
"The Southern Cyanwood Forest has come? One must know that they're the most genuine subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain."
"Wow, it's really the Southern Cyanwood Forest. Everyone, quickly, look at them. It's the people from the Southern Cyanwood Forest."
Suddenly, cries of alarm began to sound from below. Moreover, the number of people gathered became more and more numerous, the voices becoming louder and louder. In an instant, practically everyone raised their heads up to look. Their gazes were cast on the warship that Chu Feng and them were on. Moreover, many of the people possessed blazing radiance in their eyes as they gazed at them.
Although the warship that Chu Feng and them were riding was not huge, it had the Southern Cyanwood Forest's banner. Thus, when they descend from the sky, it was very easy for others to discover that they were the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
On top of that, as the subsidiary powers of the Cyanwood Mountain naturally surpassed other powers, they were existences that many powers did not dare to offend, and the Southern Cyanwood Forest was a genuine subsidiary power with renowned reputation; thus, regardless of how deteriorated they had now become, they would still bring about the attention of everyone.
At this moment, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's management elders and disciples all held their chests up and displayed proud expressions on their faces.
That was because at this moment, their egos had obtained true satisfaction.
"Oh my, who is this? Isn't this the Cyanwood Mountain's most genuine subsidiary power, Southern Cyanwood Forest?" However, right at the moment when the people from the Southern Cyanwood Forest were enjoying the atmosphere of being looked up to by others, a peculiar voice suddenly sounded.
Turning around to look, not only were all the management elders of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, even the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster and management elders started to frown and display expressions of displeasure on their faces.
That was because, at this very moment, a large group of people were currently walking towards them. They were all experts of the older generation. A rough estimation would be several thousand people.
This number was many times superior to the number of people that had come from the Southern Cyanwood Forest and Cloud Thunder Pavilion. They also possessed overwhelming imposingness.
These people were made up of many different powers. One of the powers among them was the Great Wisdom Sect. Not only were they the same as the Southern Cyanwood Forest and Cloud Thunder Pavilion, being second-rate subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain, they were also a power hostile against the Cloud Thunder Pavilion.
As for another power among them, it was called the Black Python Stronghold. It was also a second-rate subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain.
Although they were all second-rate subsidiary powers underneath the Cyanwood Mountain, this Black Python Stronghold's strength was a bit stronger, even when compared to the Cloud Thunder Pavilion and the Southern Cyanwood Forest. For the past few years, they were in the limelight and was one of the publicly renowned formidable power in this region. It was so much so that in terms of reputation, they had surpassed the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
On top of that, in that group of people, other than the Black Python Stronghold and the Great Wisdom Sect, there were also three more second-rate subsidiary powers and close to a hundred third-rate subsidiary powers.
It was evident that they had been called over by the Black Python Stronghold. Moreover, their intention in coming was not one of kindness. That was because the person that spoke earlier was the Black Python Stronghold's chief, a dark skinned old man with a head full of white hair. He had a smile on his face but one could tell that behind the smile hid his ruthlessness.
"Headmasters, it has been a year since we last seen each other. I trust that you all have been well since we last met." Regardless of the intention of the guests, they were, after all, all subsidiary powers underneath the Cyanwood Mountain. Thus, when they walked over, Sikong Zhaixing cup his fist courteously and greeted them.
However, who would've thought that none of them actually responded to Sikong Zhaixing's courteous gesture. Especially that Black Python Stronghold's chief, he even cast his gaze at everyone present and, with a loud voice, said,
"The Cyanwood Mountain is the ruler of our Cyanwood Domain. There is no need to doubt their strength. They are one of the publicly renowned strongest powers in the entire Holy Land of Martialism. There are countless experts and countless geniuses within the Cyanwood Mountain. Even the Divine Bodies that could give rise to abnormal signs were not limited to only one or two in the Cyanwood Mountain."
"With such a powerful Cyanwood Mountain, the number of their subsidiary powers are innumerable. To this day, there are a total of five first-rate subsidiary powers, several hundred second-rate subsidiary powers and several thousand third-rate subsidiary powers."
"However, I believe that everyone present ought to know that the Cyanwood Mountain only has four genuine subsidiary powers. They are respectively the Eastern, Southern, Western and Northern Cyanwood Forests."
"And now, the Eastern, Western and Northern Cyanwood Forests are among the five first-rate subsidiary powers. They have held three among the five first-rate subsidiary powers and are publicly accepted to be three of the strongest subsidiary powers among all the subsidiary powers of the Cyanwood Mountain."
"However, look at this Southern Cyanwood Forest. They too are a genuine subsidiary power. Yet, they had fallen so low to become a second-class subsidiary power. It was so much that even among the second-class subsidiary powers, they are among the bottom tier."
"Headmaster Sikong, I wish to ask, have you ever felt ashamed?" The chief of the Black Python Stronghold suddenly cast his smiling eyes at Sikong Zhaixing.

Chapter 1056 – Furious Counterattack
Chapter 1056 – Furious Counterattack
"Clamor~~~~" After the Black Python Stronghold's chief said those words, a ruckus immediately sounded through the crowd. The entire surrounding crowd was incapable of keeping calm anymore. There were some that started whispering and some that started to talk secretly with voice transmission. In short, they all began to discuss this matter.
Actually, everyone present knew of the gap between the Southern Cyanwood Forest and the other three Cyanwood Forests. However, after being reminded about the gap by the Black Python Stronghold's chief like this, everyone was unable to help themselves but think that the gap between them was truly too great.
However, the matter that shocked everyone the most was the fact that the Black Python Stronghold's chief actually dared to humiliate Sikong Zhaixing before all these people. This was simply a public provocation.
While it was true that the Black Python Stronghold was also a second-rate subsidiary power and, based on their current strength as well as the quality of the disciples they had been sending to the Cyanwood Mountain in recent years, was indeed stronger than the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
But the Southern Cyanwood Forest was, nevertheless, a genuine subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain. Although many powers looked down upon them, they would only secretly provoke them. It was extremely rare for a power to publicly provoke them like the Black Python Stronghold.
That was because a public provocation would, more or less, bring about some taboo subjects. This was something that required courage to do. At the very least, no ordinary power would dare to do such a thing. However, the matter that many powers did not dare to do was done by the Black Python Stronghold. This naturally shocked everyone.
"Black Python Stronghold Chief, I urge you to take note of your words while speaking. Regardless of what your identity is or who you have behind your back, our Lord Headmaster is not someone that you can humiliate."
Berated Elder Gongsun furiously with blood-red eyes. At the same time, all of the other disciples and elders of the Southern Cyanwood Forest displayed angry scowls on their faces. They were even emitting traces of killing intent. As the people of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, they were unable to tolerate someone humiliating their headmaster.
"I am speaking with your headmaster, when did it become your turn to interrupt?! What do you think yourself to be?!" Who would've thought that that Black Python Stronghold's chief actually pointed at Elder Gongsun's nose and criticized him in an extremely vile manner.
"Black Python Stronghold Chief, we all serve the Cyanwood Mountain. We are bound to see each other often. I advise you to not be too excessive." Said the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster.
"Yoh, isn't this the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster? Those disciples you've managed to cultivate this year are pretty decent, no? Their cultivation is not something suiting the quality that your Cloud Thunder Pavilion had displayed in the past. No wonder a while back you actually boasted that your Cloud Thunder Pavilion would soon emerge in power."
The Black Pythong Stronghold's chief laughed strangely. He did not place the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster in his eyes either. However, he soon cast his gaze at Sikong Zhaixing.
"Headmaster Sikong Zhaixing, aren't your Southern Cyanwood Forest always a solidary power? How come you've come here together with the Cloud Thunder Pavilion today? Could it possibly be that you've truly thought that the Cloud Thunder Pavilion would soon emerge in power so you began to hug their thighs tightly?"
"Hahahaha…." After saying those words, the Black Python Stronghold's chief once again burst into a loud laughter. The mockery, ridicule and disdain that he possessed was all manifested without reservation.
Moreover, it was not only him that was laughing. At this moment, the Great Wisdom Sect, the other three second-rate subsidiary powers and those third-rate subsidiary powers also joined in laughter.
At this moment, black lines covered the heads of all the crowd. No one followed the Black Python Stronghold's chief in ridiculing Sikong Zhaixing. That was because they all felt that the Black Python Stronghold's chief was being too excessive.
No matter how low the Southern Cyanwood Forest had fallen, they, after all, have neither grievances nor hatred with the Black Python Stronghold. Even if the Black Python Stronghold wanted to use the Southern Cyanwood Forest to establish their might, but for them to, for no reason or cause, publicly humiliate the Southern Cyanwood Forest, and to such a degree on top of that, was truly too excessive.
Faced with such an open humiliation and attack from the Black Python Stronghold's chief, the management elders of Southern Cyanwood Forest were so angered that they began to clasp their fists firmly and gnash their teeth with anger. Merely, none of them dared to actually attack.
Although to others, they might not understand why the Black Python Stronghold dared to be this arrogant. However, the upper echelons of the Southern Cyanwood Forest and Cloud Thunder Pavilion knew a bit of the fishiness.
Earlier, they had caught wind that the Black Python Stronghold had managed to associate themselves with a first-rate subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain, Orion Monastery.
Orion Monastery, one of the five first-rate subsidiary powers underneath the Cyanwood Mountain. Its strength was extremely powerful and it possessed a very deep history. The most important thing was that the Origin Monastery was located at the southern region of the Cyanwood Domain.
Thus, in the southern region of the Cyanwood Domain, although the Southern Cyanwood Forest's reputation was renowned throughout, everyone knew that the ruler of the southern region was the Orion Monastery.
The Orion Monastery was too powerful. As a first-rate power, it was the widely accepted overlord of the Cyanwood Domain's southern region.
In the past, there had been a second-rate power that disrespected an elder from the Orion Monastery. This led to the extermination of that second-rate power, the killing of every living thing, human and animal, of that second-rate power.
Toward this matter, the Cyanwood Mountain turned a blind eye. Not only did they not discipline them, they did not even bother to inquire about it.
After that, the vicious name of the Orion Monastery flourished. At the very least, practically no power in the Cyanwood Domain's southern region dared to go against the Orion Monastery. Moreover, in this region, other than an extraordinary race like the Ancient Era's Sprites, there was simply no power that could contend against the Orion Monastery to begin with.
Thus, when the Black Python Stronghold managed to become hooked up with the Orion Monastery, they, without a doubt, obtained a powerful backing. This was also the greatest assurance the Black Python Stronghold had in being so arrogant and publicly humiliating the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
The current Sikong Zhaixing was a Half Martial Emperor. With his strength, there was simply no reason for him to fear the Black Python Stronghold. However, he had no choice but to consider the Orion Monastery that stood behind the Black Python Stronghold. This was also why he had endured the humiliation from the Black Python Stronghold the entire time without fighting back.
"Old man, even youngsters know about propriety when speaking. You've lived to such an old age, how come you speak as if you're farting? Did all those years that you've lived end up making you into a rabid dog or did no one teach you and discipline you?"
Right at the moment when everyone didn't know what to do, Chu Feng suddenly stood forward. Moreover, he pointed at the Black Python Stronghold's chief and rained curses upon him. The intensity of his words were truly ruthless.
"That is…"
After Chu Feng said those words, the expressions of practically everyone present changed greatly. No matter what, they never expected that during a time when even Sikong Zhaixing did not dare to refute, a disciple from the Southern Cyanwood Forest actually stood out and cursed the Black Python Stronghold's chief.
Actually, not only the outsiders, even the people from the Southern Cyanwood Forest were stunned by Chu Feng's action. That was because the words spoken by Chu Feng would undoubtedly infuriate the Black Python Stronghold's chief.
"What a presumptuous little brat. Have you grown tired of living?" The Black Python Stronghold's chief wanted to humiliate the Southern Cyanwood Forest. However, he was unexpectedly publicly insulted by a younger generation of the Southern Cyanwood Forest. This caused the Black Python Stronghold's chief to be unable to tolerate it.
He did not bother to speak any superfluous words. With a movement, he emitted his powerful aura of rank nine Martial King. At the same time, he took a step forward and directly arrived on the Southern Cyanwood Forest's warship. He extended his palm and grabbed toward Chu Feng's throat.
The power behind his palm was no small matter. He wanted to twist apart Chu Feng's neck.
"Boom."
Right at the moment when everyone felt that Chu Feng would undoubtedly die, an explosion suddenly sounded. At the same time, a hurricane appeared before dissipating away.
That hurricane was truly too powerful. Not to mention the crowd of people observing, even the Black Python Stronghold and the Great Wisdom Sect's management elders were incapable of withstanding it. The several thousand people were all blown away by the hurricane.
When that hurricane dissipated, the people cast their gazes back at the warship, and not only the crowd observing but practically everyone present was stunned.
At this moment, the Black Python Stronghold's chief that was acting extremely arrogant earlier was lying on the ground with a bloodied body. Moreover, a foot was stepping on him, causing him to gnash in rage and pain.
At the same time, a calm voice that was filled with imposingness and killing intent sounded from above the Black Python Stronghold's chief. "Black Python Stronghold Chief, if you dare to attack this disciple of mine again, I shall flatten your Black Python Stronghold.

Chapter 1057 – The Arrival of the Orion Monastery
"Heavens, this…"
If seeing the Black Python Stronghold's chief being seriously injured and lying on the ground was shocking, then after crowd saw who the figure that was stomping down on the Black Python Stronghold's chief was, they had become completely stupefied.
Because that person was precisely the person that had been humiliated by the Black Python Stronghold's chief the entire time without refuting back a single word, the Southern Cyanwood Forest's headmaster, Sikong Zhaixing.
The most important matter was that Sikong Zhaixing's current aura was extremely astonishing. It was simply so powerful that it made people to not dare to even look straight at him. Especially those people who had joined hands with the Black Python Stronghold to come humiliate the Southern Cyanwood Forest, they all had their mouths wide open in shock and face struck with panic and fear.
Sikong Zhaixing had not merely used his leg to step on the Black Python Stronghold's chief, his entire body was emitting an exceptionally frightening aura.
That aura was formless yet visible. Most importantly, the air had affected the space, the world and even the several hundred million people in the surrounding region.
Although this aura was something that some people were familiar with, it was strange to the majority of them. However, people knew that this air possessed a special name: Emperor Level Martial Power.
"Half Martial Emperor! Sikong Zhaixing actually broke through to Half Martial Emperor realm and became a rank one Half Martial Emperor!"
"Spectacular! Truly spectacular! Half Martial Emperor; with merely his own cultivation, it is already sufficient enough for the Southern Cyanwood Forest to become one of the top existences among the second-rate powers. It appears that the Southern Cyanwood Forest would soon emerge in power."
At this moment, the crowd burst into an uproar. That was because even in the Holy Land of Martialism, Half Martial Emperor realm was not a realm that one could casually reach.
After all, it was a realm that concerned Emperor Level Martial Power. Thus, it was an extremely, extremely hard realm to break through into. In the Cyanwood Domain, other than the Cyanwood Mountain and some ancient powers with extremely long history, the other powers that possessed Half Martial Emperor level experts were all extremely exceptional.
For example, the Cyanwood Mountain possessed several hundred second-rate and several thousand third-rate subsidiary powers. However, no more than ten among them possessed a Half Martial Emperor. From this, one could see how powerful Half Martial Emperors were.
"Headmasters, I have a question that I wish to ask you all. We are all subsidiary powers underneath the Cyanwood Mountain, do you all look down upon my Southern Cyanwood Forest?"
Suddenly, Sikong Zhaixing raised his head and cast his gaze at that group of headmasters that had come together with the Black Python Stronghold's chief in humiliating him.
"Ehh…."
"Headmaster Sikong, it…it's a misunderstanding. How could we possibly dare to look down upon your Southern Cyanwood Forest."
"That's right, Headmaster Sikong, please don't misunderstand us. Even though we are all subsidiary powers underneath the Cyanwood Mountain, your Southern Cyanwood Mountain is a genuine subsidiary power. How could we dare to look down on you? How could we possibly have the qualifications to do that?"
Facing a Half Martial Emperor, not to mention the headmasters of those powers, even the people from the Great Wisdom Sect and Black Python Stronghold were extremely frightened. No matter who they had standing behind their back, a Half Martial Emperor possessed the strength to flatten them. As they were currently on their own, they did not dare to refute Sikong Zhaixing.
"Misunderstanding? When the Black Python Stronghold spoke words of humiliation at my Southern Cyanwood Mountain, why did you all laugh that happily?! Did you all take me for a fool?!"
Suddenly, Sikong Zhaixing angrily glared at them with his eyes. At the same time, a boundless oppressive might burst forth from him and surrounded the bodies of those people that were laughing happily earlier. The powerful oppressive might cause that region of space to tremble violently.
"Headmaster Sikong, please be lenient, please be lenient."
Faced with the oppressive might formed with Emperor Level Martial Power, some cowardly people were so frightened that they immediately kneeled on the ground and begged. They deeply feared that Sikong Zhaixing would have a killing intention and directly exterminate them.
Once those cowardly people kneeled on the ground, they immediately started a chain reaction. The several thousand upper echelons of the close to a hundred powers have all uniformly kneeled on the ground.
"Heh." Seeing the group of people that were ridiculing him earlier kneeling before him and begging for forgiveness, Sikong Zhaixing lightly laughed. He then looked at the Black Python Stronghold's chief under his foot and said, "Did you see that? These are the reinforcements that you have brought with you; nothing but a bunch of cowards."
After he finished his words, Sikong Zhaixing abruptly raised his leg. A 'bang' and a scream was heard. The Black Python Stronghold's chief was kicked down from his warship.
"Wuuwaa."
The Black Python Stronghold's chief fell to the ground. This fall was not light at all. However, not a single person dared to step forward to lend him a hand. That was because all of the management elders from his Black Python Stronghold were kneeling on the ground. They did not dare to stand back up.
Thus, at this moment, the Black Python Stronghold's chief was truly humiliated all the way to his own home.1 Not only did he not manage to humiliate the person that he wanted to, he ended up being completely humiliated instead. Even though Sikong Zhaixing did not excessively insult the Black Python Stronghold's chief, but to be beaten up in public like this was a lot more of a direct insult than mere words.
"Rumble."
Right at this moment, rumbling noises suddenly sounded from the boundless ocean of mist above. At the same time, that boundless ocean of mist started to roll. In the end, a colossal item started to descend from above and appeared before everyone's line of sight.
It was a warship. Although the ship was ancient, it was also enormous. The most important matter was that on top of this enormous warship were fluttering flags. On top of those flags were two large words – Orion Monastery.
"Orion Monastery, the people from the Orion Monastery has arrived."
After seeing the Orion Monastery's warship, everyone's heartbeat started accelerating. All kinds of complicated expressions appeared on their faces.
At this moment, those people from the Black Python Stronghold and their allies that were kneeling on the ground uniformly stood back up. Moreover, they displayed expressions of ecstasy on their faces. That was because they knew very well that their backing had arrived.
If, to others, the news of the Black Python Stronghold managing to associate themselves with the Orion Monastery, a first-rate power, was still a rumor, then the upper echelons of the Black Python Stronghold knew that it was, in fact, a reality.
The Black Python Stronghold truly managed to obtain the approval of the Orion Monastery. The Orion Monastery had already prepared to take the Black Python Stronghold under their wings and cultivate them.
Compared to the people from the Black Python Stronghold, the people from the Southern Cyanwood Forest and the Cloud Thunder Pavilion were deeply frowning. Their hearts began to grow restless. The Orion Monastery was not something that the Black Python Stronghold could compare with. As a first-rate power, not only do they contain a Half Martial Emperor to lead them, it was more than a single Half Martial Emperor.
Finally, the warship of the Orion Monastery landed. At this moment, everyone below was able to see that not only was the Orion Monastery's warship enormous, there were also a lot of people on top of that warship.
Without mentioning the countless elders that were escorting the warship, merely the number of people wearing the uniform of disciples numbered over three thousand. In other words, the number of disciples from the Orion Monastery that had come to train in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond this time around numbered over three thousand.
Compared to the twenty plus people from the Southern Cyanwood Forest, the thirty plus people from the Cloud Thunder Pavilion, the forty plus people from the Black Python Stronghold and the twenty plus people from the Great Wisdom Sect, the difference was enormous.
Most importantly, the three thousand plus disciples of the Orion Monastery could all be said to be elites. Not only were they young in age, all being below thirty years of age, their cultivation was also extraordinary. Practically all of them were peak Martial Lords. There were even close to a hundred Martial Kings among those disciples. Furthermore, two among them were even rank two Martial Kings.
This was the gap between first-rate powers and second-rate powers. Although they were all subsidiary powers, the first-rate powers were the main force behind the sourcing of disciples to the Cyanwood Mountain every year.
Of course, it was precisely because they possessed a very deep background and powerful strength that led to having more outstanding talents to be willing to become their disciples. This was what allowed them to be able to source that many disciples to the Cyanwood Mountain every year.
However, presently, what people paid the most attention to was not these disciples. Instead, it was at the two old men with long hair and stern face standing at the top of the warship.
Like Sikong Zhaixing, these two old men both possessed the cultivation of rank one Half Martial Emperor. However, neither of them were the headmaster of the Orion Monastery. Instead, they were management elders of the Orion Monastery. Furthermore, comparatively, the reputation of these two old men in this region greatly surpassed that of Sikong Zhaixing.
1. This is a Chinese term which basically mean he was extremely extremely humiliated. This was because being humiliated in one's home was a greater humiliation than being humiliated outside? I'd assume?

Chapter 1058 – Universally Abhorrent
These two management elders of the Orion Monastery had stern expressions. Even without displaying any anger, their might could already be felt.
At this very moment, the boundless crowd had all grew silent, without uttering a single sound. It was so quiet that it was strange. Even those monstrous beasts that were born with loud voices quieted down their breathing, not daring to breathe loudly.
Although they were all Half Martial Emperors, the deterrence of these two management elders were greater than Sikong Zhaixing's. This was not related to their strengths. It was only because they came from the Orion Monastery.
"Black Python Stronghold's chief pays his respect to Lord Elders from the Orion Monastery."
Seeing the descent of the Orion Monastery's warship, the Black Python Stronghold's chief appeared as if he had seen his savior. He hurriedly walked over to the Orion Monastery's warship and courteously greeted them while kneeling.
Following that, the elders from the Black Python Stronghold, the Great Wisdom Sect's headmaster and elders and the headmasters of those third-rate powers all rushed forward too. Uniformly, they kneeled down before the warship.
Moreover, many of the Cyanwood Mountain's subsidiary powers that did not wish to be mixed with the conflict between the Black Python Stronghold and the Southern Cyanwood Forest and were hiding within the crowd watching the show also walked out from the crowd and kneeled before the warship.
Even the Cloud Thunder Pavilion's headmaster hurriedly led his elders and disciples, descended from the Southern Cyanwood Forest's warship and kneeled before the Orion Monastery's warship.
In an instant, over ten thousand people were kneeling before the Orion Monastery's warship. Moreover, many of them were people that possessed fame and reputation in this region. Thus, the scene of them kneeling right now was truly a rather magnificent sight.
However, being also a subsidiary powers of the Cyanwood Mountain, Sikong Zhaixing hesitated over and over again but, in the end, decided to not step forward to salute the Orion Monastery. The subsidiary powers of the Cyanwood Mountain only differ based upon their strength, there was not a hierarchy of status. Even if it was a third-rate power that encountered people from a first-rate power, there was no need for them to kneel.
The reason why these people were kneeling was because they feared the Orion Monastery.
Due to the fact that the Ancient Era's Elves did not bother with worldly matters and the formidable powers with ancient history in the Cyanwood Domain were mostly located in the eastern, western and northern regions, it led to the Orion Monastery becoming the sole hegemon of the southern region.
As the saying goes, 'when beneath eaves, one had no choice but to lower one's head.'1 For the purpose of making good relations with the Orion Monastery, at the very least, this led to many subsidiary powers to go forth and kneel to the Orion Monastery when they encountered people from there, lest they offend the Orion Monastery.
However, compared to whether or not there was a need to kneel to the Orion Monastery, the matter that Sikong Zhaixing was worried about the most right now was still the Black Python Stronghold's chief.
This Black Python Stronghold's chief had kneeled at the frontmost and most eye-catching place. He did not wipe away the bloodstains on his body. Moreover, he deliberately made himself appear very weak and injured. He had even urged his blood to flow out of his wounds at a faster rate, so as to make himself appear even more miserable.
His purpose was precisely to have the elders of the Orion Monaster see his tragic appearance. When they asked him about it, he would then ruthlessly report the things that Sikong Zhaixing had done.
"Black Python Stronghold Chief, how did your injuries come about?" Sure enough, one of those two management elders opened his mouth and asked.
"Reporting to Lord Elder, earlier I saw that the Southern Cyanwood Forest's headmaster had come to this region. Thus, I went up to greet him. Who would've thought that his disciple actually spoke words of insult at me. I began to argue with that disciple of his and the Southern Cyanwood Forest's headmaster directly attacked me. Not only did he seriously injure me, he also humiliated me by having my Black Python Stronghold as well as many other headmasters and elders from other powers kneel down to him to acknowledge our wrongs."
The Black Python Stronghold's chief had a face filled of grievance. With lies and deceit, he completely renounced himself of his wrongdoings and added details to the wrongs of Sikong Zhaixing. It was truly despicable.
"What Black Python Stronghold's chief said is the truth. Lord Elders, please uphold justice for us."
However, toward the shameless conduct of the Black Python Stronghold's chief, not only did no one bother to expose him, those people who had kneeled to Sikong Zhaixing earlier actually all nodded to express that the Black Python Stronghold's chief's story was the truth.
Upon hearing those words, those two management elders as well as many other people on the Orion Monastery's warship cast their gazes over to Sikong Zhaixing.
Originally, their gazes were extremely oppressive. It was even one of anger. However, when they discovered the aura of the current Sikong Zhaixing, their expressions changed. Especially those two management elders, their eyes even shined.
Those two management elders glanced at each other. After that, they actually both cup their fist respectively at Sikong Zhaixing and said, "Headmaster Sikong, congratulations on becoming a Half Martial Emperor."
Their voices were extremely tranquil. There was neither respect nor despise in their voices. It was an extremely ordinary greeting.
"Elders, you're being too courteous." Sikong Zhaixing also cupped his fist and returned the greeting courteously.
"Headmaster Sikong, although we are not from the same school, we could consider to be from the same root.2 May I know what sort of grudges you have with these headmasters? There would be no harm to talk about it. If possible, please forget about the grudges this time around. By all means, we must not harm the friendly relationship between us." One of the two management elders said.
This management elder was very smart. He knew that the words spoken by the Black Python Stronghold's chief might not be trustworthy. Thus, he actually went to ask Sikong Zhaixing to tell him what had happened.
"I believe that elders, the two of you should know about my character. If it wasn't for the Black Python Stronghold's chief to speak words of humiliation at me again and again, my disciple would not have gone and insulted him."
"Regardless of who is wrong and who is not, a disciple is after all a person of the younger generation. It is his wrong to insult the Black Python Stronghold's chief. However, the Black Python Stronghold's chief actually forgot about his status and actually intend to kill this disciple of mine. He wished to, before my very eyes, kill my disciple. As the Southern Cyanwood Forest's headmaster, I naturally cannot stand by and watch without lifting a finger. That was why I ended up attacking and injuring the Black Python Stronghold's chief."
"As for the matter of me making those headmasters kneeling down to me to admit their mistake, that is even more of a complete nonsense. It is true that they had kneeled. It is also true that they admitted their mistakes. However, it was clearly on their own accord. I have never threatened them to do so. I truly do not understand why they wanted to frame me like so."
"Perhaps it might be because my Southern Cyanwood Forest has been on the decline for many years now and are inferior every year, that everyone felt that my Southern Cyanwood Forest is easy to bully." Saying till this point, Sikong Zhaixing bitterly laughed, sighed and shook his head.
"What Senior Sikong said is the truth. All of this was caused by the Black Python Stronghold's chief." Suddenly, someone loudly shouted from the crowd.
"Who shouted that?! You must know that you cannot make irresponsible remarks, irresponsible farts! Who wanted to do such things again, if you have the courage, stand forward!" Seeing that there was actually someone speaking on behalf of Sikong Zhaixing, the Black Python Stronghold's chief became agitatedly angry.
That was because the Orion Monastery was no fool. Even though he managed to obtain a relation with the Orion Monastery, but if it was him who was at fault and excessively wrong, it would be impossible for the Orion Monastery to assist him before all these people.
Thus, he was unable to tolerate anyone speaking up for Sikong Zhaixing at this crucial moment.
"I am the one who spoke those words." To his great surprise, before his obvious threat, there was actually a burly man that stood forward. This burly man had dark skin and his cultivation was not weak. Not only did he possess the cultivation of a rank one Martial King, one could tell from a single glance that he possessed a frank and unyielding character.
He did not fear the threat of the Black Python Stronghold's chief. With a loud voice, he said, "Elders from the Orion Monastery, this course of events went on like this. When the Southern Cyanwood Forest's warship descended earlier, the Black Python Stronghold's chief brought upon people with him and began to insult them. Headmaster Sikong ignored his insults. This caused him to intensify his insults, causing them to become more and more vulgar and offensive. The words he spoke were simply enough to make one's hair stand up in anger."
"Not to mention that youngster who spoke out in return was Senior Sikong's disciple, even us among the crowd burned a fireball of rage in our hearts. We also felt that Senior Sikong was being treated wrongly."
"That's right. What this brother said is right. The scene earlier is something that all of us have seen. Exactly who is wrong and who is not, that is something that we all know."
"That's right. Black Python Stronghold's chief. When all things are done and said, you are, after all, a stronghold's chief. How could you so shamelessly try to invert right and wrong!"
A single ripple births forth a wave. After that burly man spoke those words, the sea of people that were originally quiet started to shout unceasingly. It was like a boiling deep fryer. Many people began to spoke words on behalf of Sikong Zhaixing. They even began to berate the Black Python Stronghold's chief.
Seeing this situation, even those two management elders from the Orion Monastery were surprised. That was because the crowd was unrelated to the Cyanwood Mountain. They were people that should not have tried to meddle into this chaotic matter, this business of others. Yet, they did.
This meant that what the Black Python Stronghold's chief did was most definitely extremely excessive. It was so excessive that he incurred the anger of the people.
Thus, at this moment, those two management elders from the Orion Monastery started to frown. Anger rose forth from their hearts. They looked to the Black Python Monastery's chief and, with an extremely strict voice, said, "Black Python Stronghold Chief, is there anything else you wish to say?!"
1. Basically, you're within the presence of someone stronger. Thus, you have no choice but to lower your head.
2. Serving the same master, the Cyanwood Mountain.

Chapter 1059 – The Appearance of Geniuses
"Elders, they are spouting a bunch of nonsense. You must believe me." At this moment, the Black Python Stronghold's chief started to panic. Everyone had pointed their spearheads at him. Even though he possessed a relation with the Orion Monastery, it was not certain that the Orion Monastery would protect him. It might even be unavoidable for him to be publicly punished.
"As the chief of a stronghold, you've displayed such dishonorable behavior. You do not qualify to carry on the title of a second-rate subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain."
"In this year's Cyanwood Mountain's disciple recruitment assembly, I will request them to remove your Black Python Stronghold's status of a second-rate subsidiary power so that you will not bring shame upon the Cyanwood Mountain in the future," said one of the management elders.
"Elders, please forgive me, please forgive me. I would never dare to do such a thing again. Elders, please give me another chance to reform myself." Hearing those words, the Black Python Stronghold's chief became flabbergasted. He acknowledged the fact that these two elders would punish him. However, he did not expect the punishment to be this severe.
A second-rate subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain, this was an extremely important status. As long as he possessed this status, it was equivalent to him being a member of the Cyanwood Mountain. This made it so that very few people or powers dared to attack him.
Moreover, those offsprings from famous families and other outstanding younger generations would, for the purpose of being able to enter the Cyanwood Mountain, consider the connections as well as the relationship a power have with the Cyanwood Mountain, whether it was a subsidiary power or not, before seeking to become disciples of said power.
If he was to lose the status of a second-rate subsidiary power of the Cyanwood Mountain, it would be an enormous damage to the Black Python Stronghold and would definitely cause their prosperity to rapidly decline, leading to a future of darkness.
"Scram. Do not appear before my sight again for I fear of dirtying my eyes." Suddenly, the other elder waved his sleeve, causing a gale to rise from the ground.
Before that gale, the Black Python Stronghold's chief, elders and disciples were all blown to the sky like scarecrows. As they gave off screams in the air, they were blown several hundred miles away and disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
To this scene, many people started to clap their hands and applauded. They felt that the Orion Monastery was very swift and decisive and upheld their punishment righteously.
However, Sikong Zhaixing's gaze was flickering. Within his gaze was confusion. He did not expect for the Orion Monastery to give the Black Python Stronghold's chief such a severe punishment.
Although, on the surface, there was no hierarchy between the subsidiary powers, the Orion Monastery was, after all, a first-rate subsidiary power. If they were to truly ask the Cyanwood Mountain to remove the Black Python Stronghold of their status as a second-rate subsidiary power, the Cyanwood Mountain would likely give them the face and do it.
After all, a power like the Black Python Stronghold was very numerous in the Cyanwood Domain. To have one more was not too many and to have one less was not too few. However, a power like the Orion Monastery was completely different.
This matter, after all was said and done, was unrelated with the Orion Monastery. Moreover, the Orion Monastery's relationship with the Southern Cyanwood Forest was not extremely good. Thus, for the Orion Monastery to go through such effort today was something that Sikong Zhaixing was unable to understand.
"I wish you all to be able to learn a lesson from this matter and behave yourselves." After blowing the people from the Black Python Stronghold away, that management elder from the Orion Monastery cast his gaze at the people kneeling before their warship.
While those words did not matter to other powers, but the expressions of the people from those powers that had joined the Black Python Stronghold in their humiliation of the Southern Cyanwood Forest all grew green. They were extremely panic-stricken. However, regardless of what they were feeling, they still shouted alongside the other powers. "We will definitely learn a lesson from this and not disgrace the reputation of the Cyanwood Mountain."
"Mn. You all can rise. We are all from the same root, there is no need for you all to kneel." The other management elder waved his hand. Only after he spoke those words did the Cloud Thunder Pavilion and other subsidiary powers dare to stand up.
"Headmaster Sikong, might I know who the disciple that insulted the Black Python Stronghold's chief was?" Right at this moment, the management elders from the Orion Monastery cast their gazes at the Southern Cyanwood Forest's warship once again.
At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing began to frown. He began feeling unrest in his heart. He did not know what intention the Orion Monastery had. He truly feared that the Orion Monastery would want to punish Chu Feng. After all, it was wrong for Chu Feng to offend a senior.
"Junior Chu Feng pays his respect to elders." However, right when Sikong Zhaixing was hesitating, Chu Feng actually stood forward on his own accord and courteously greeted the two management elders of the Orion Monastery.
"Chu Feng, was it? Headmaster Sikong, this disciple of yours truly possessed courage and insight. He is indeed a talent. No wonder Headmaster Sikong would protect him in such a way and attack the Black Python Stronghold's chief for him."
That management elder only took a casual look at Chu Feng. After that, he made a gesture to the three thousand disciples behind him and said, "Yuan Qing, Qin Guang, come up and pay your respects to Headmaster Sikong."
Right after he said those words, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar. Everyone cast their gazes at those three thousand disciples.
Before the countless gazes of anticipation, two young figures walked into everyone's line of sight.
They were two young men. Their ages were merely in the early twenties. Even when compared to Chu Feng, they were only about two years older. However, their cultivation had already reached rank two Martial King.
Not only was their cultivation strong, even the aura of these two young men were beyond the norm. The first young man was close to four meters tall. Not only was he tall and strong, his body was also robust. It appeared as if he was a monstrous beast. From a single glance, one could tell that his body was filled with explosive power.
As for the other young man, his build was very petite. However, his aura was also extraordinary. Not only did he possess an elegant demeanor, he contained the feminine beauty of a female and his two eyes also contained hidden sharpness.
"Junior Yuan Qing."
"Junior Qin Guang."
"Pays his respect to Headmaster Sikong." After these two men appeared, they walked over to the bow of their warship and cupped their fists respectfully at Sikong Zhaixing.
Although they were calling Sikong Zhaixing 'headmaster' and displaying respect courteously, their tone contained not the slightest trace of reverence.
"Senior Sister Wang Wei, who are these two? It appears as if they're very famous." The attitude of these two young men caused Chu Feng to narrow his eyes. A flash of displeasure appeared in his eyes. He then turned to Wang Wei and began to ask about the identity of these two young men.
That was because at the moment when these two young men appeared, the surrounding crowd completely burst into an uproar. Everyone began to discuss these two young men. It was evident that the two of them were indeed famous.
"Junior brother Chu Feng, they are both famous geniuses of the Orion Monastery. That robust man is called Qin Guang. As for that beautiful young man, he's Yuan Qing."
"Not only do the two of them possess outstanding talent, they are also from extraordinary birth. Rumour has it that that Qin Guang is not a human and is instead a monstrous beast with a special bloodline. He possesses divine strength and astonishing battle power. Among the rank two Martial Kings, practically no one could match him. Only rank three Martial Kings are able to fight against him."
"As for that Yuan Qing, he is even more extraordinary. He is a true genius. Legend has it that even rank three Martial Kings are no match for him."
"As a first-rate power of the Cyanwood Mountain, the Orion Monastery contains a lot of geniuses. Every year, they would send several genius disciples to the Cyanwood Mountain."
"However, for disciples as outstanding as Yuan Qing, they are rarely seen in the recent years. Thus, this Yuan Qing is extremely famous. Moreover, before this, Yuan Qing and Qin Guang had declared that they would be entering the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. This brought about a great commotion to all the powers and even the monstrous beast powers."
"After all, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle has, since history, never been triggered by humans or monstrous beasts before. If the two of them are truly capable of triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, it would be equivalent to winning honor for humans and monstrous beasts. Thus, their current fame is even greater as many people anticipated their success." Explained Wang Wei.

Chapter 1060 – Hidden Crisis
"So this is the case. No wonder they are so arrogant that they did not even put Headmaster Sikong in their eyes." Although this was what Chu Feng was saying, the disgust he had for that Yuan Qing and Qin Guang became more evident in his eyes.
Moreover, the disgust was not merely contained to Yuan Qing and Qin Guang. It was also toward the two management elders from the Orion Monastery.
Chu Feng could already tell that they did not want Yuan Qing and Qin Guang to sincerely pay their respects to Sikong Zhaixing. Instead, they were intentionally flaunting the two geniuses of their Orion Monastery.
They wanted everyone to see for themselves the enormous gap between their Orion Monastery's disciples and the Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciples. This was simply showing off their might. Actually, the severe punishment they gave the Black Python Stronghold earlier was also merely to show off their might.
What they were doing was precisely establishing their prestige before everyone. Only through this would they make more people want to become their disciples, which in turn would allow them to become eminently more powerful, and able to maintain their current glory.
As a large and renowned sect, what they were doing was a very reasonable thing. There was actually nothing wrong about it. However, upon thinking that the Orion Monastery actually used him as well as the other disciples from the Southern Cyanwood Forest as a stepping stone to display their Orion Monastery's disciples' talent, Chu Feng felt displeasure in his heart.
However, upon considering that they were truly very powerful and the current Sikong Zhaixing and Southern Cyanwood Forest was simply incapable of becoming enemies with the Orion Monastery, Chu Feng decided to silently endure this.
"Ring ring ring ring ring ring…."
Not long after, a bust of sharp ringing suddenly sounded from the direction of the walls. Turning their heads to look, they saw that enormous city gate was slowly opening. As for the sharp and crisp ringing sound, it originated from that city gate.
"The city gate is opening!" Seeing that the Ancient Era's Elves' city gate was opening, the crowd of people immediately burst into an uproar. Densely packed like a bunch of ants, they swarmed around the city gate. They all wished to see what exactly the inside of the Ancient Era's Elves' home looked like.
"Cultivators who are not entering to train, withdraw yourselves to a thousand meters away!"
Right at this moment, an indifferent voice sounded from within the city gate. At the same time, a gentle wind swept out from the city gate, dispersing the swarming people.
After the gentle wind swept past, a large empty space opened up before the city gate. In this sort of circumstance, the excited crowd started to calm down. Very few people dared to approach the city gate again.
At this moment, the only people who dared to approach the city gate were those who were willing to take out a high quality Royal Armament as a payment to train in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
At this moment, Chu Feng and them also arrived before the city gate. They discovered that several hundred figures wearing green colored cloaks were standing before the city gate.
Those cloaks were extremely special. They were not constructed with ordinary cloths. Instead, they were made through weaving special kinds of plants. However, it couldn't be denied that those cloaks possessed a different sort of beauty. If one must truly describe them, then it would emulate a sensation of nature.
Those people wearing these cloaks were naturally the people from the Ancient Era's Elves. Their height was similar to humans. However, their figures were a bit thinner. As for their facial features, due to being covered by the cloaks, could not be seen. However, Chu Feng was able to see their eyes. Their eyes appeared to not be any different from the human's eyes. However, their eyeballs were green.
Logically, green colored eyeballs should be extremely strange. However, their green eyeballs were not frightening and instead possessed a special kind of beauty.
Due to the formation here that prevented the usage of spirit power, Chu Feng was unable to determine the cultivation of those Ancient Era's Elves. However, without giving it any thought, he knew that their cultivation would definitely not be weak.
At this moment, the people who were prepared to enter into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond already began to step up and hand over their Royal Armaments.
The first people to step forward were the people from the Orion Monastery. They were truly rich for they took out over three thousand Royal Armaments at once. Moreover, each and every one of them were high quality Royal Armaments.
Seeing these three thousand plus high quality Royal Armaments that flickered with light, many of the surrounding crowd were unable to help themselves from gasping. Although those were not their Royal Armaments, they still felt a pain in their chest. That was because it was truly an astonishing amount of wealth being handed over.
However, the people of the Orion Monastery had expressions of unconcern. They did not reveal even the slightest expression of heartache. They had truly displayed the amount of wealth that they possessed. The Orion Monastery was, after all, the Orion Monastery. At the very least, in this region, there was no other power that could compare with them.
In the end, the three thousand plus disciples from the Orion Monastery all entered the gates. However, not a single elder entered.
Reason being, the Ancient Era's Elves had a rule that specified that Martial Kings were required to pay ten high quality Royal Armaments to enter. As for Half Martial Emperors, they were simply not permitted to enter.
After the disciples of the Orion Monastery entered, the other powers also began to hand over their entrance fee, their Royal Armaments. However, although those powers brought a lot of people with them here, the number of people that were actually entering to train was not numerous at all.
It was like what Sikong Zhaixing and them had said earlier, even though there were several hundred millions of people gathered here, the number of people that were actually going to enter into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond to train would number less than ten thousand.
"This Royal Armament is an ordinary one; it is simply not a high quality Royal Armament. You wanted to take advantage of the situation and present false goods? You have come to the wrong place."
Suddenly, an Ancient Era's Elf threw a Royal Armament into the hand of a burly man. One could sense a faint trace of anger from his voice.
"That's impossible! This Royal Armament is most definitely high quality. How could it possibly be ordinary? Carefully inspect it once more." That burly man refuted in an aggrieved matter while holding up the Royal Armament in his hand.
Seeing the action of that burly man, Chu Feng shook his head. That was because he was able to tell merely by looking with his eyes that the Royal Armament the burly man held was not a high quality Royal Armament. It could even be said that it was a poor quality Royal Armament, one that is inferior to even ordinary Royal Armaments. It was clear that this burly man was trying to take advantage of the situation.
"Aiyo, it's a person that's trying to court death again. Why do such people appear every year?" Seeing that burly man, Elder Gongsun sighed helplessly.
Originally, Chu Feng was confused by what Elder Gongsun meant by that. However, the thing that happened next immediately allowed Chu Feng to understand what Elder Gongsun mean.
"Woosh." Right after Elder Gongsun's words left his mouth, that Ancient Era's Elf that was in charge of examining the Royal Armaments suddenly flicked his finger. With a speed as fast as light, his finger landed on that burly man's forehead.
"Eeeahhh~~~"
Right when that Ancient Era's Elf retrieved his finger, the burly man gave off a scream before falling to the ground, rolling back and forth with his hands over his forehead. Only after a very long time did he begin to calm.
However, at the time when that burly man's hands moved away from his forehead, Chu Feng and the others discovered that a special imprint that emitted a green light was on his forehead.
"What is that?" asked Chu Feng.
"That's an Elf's Imprint. Anyone who has done shameless things such as scamming and cheating but not worthy of being punished with death would be left such an imprint by the Ancient Era's Elves."
"In ordinary times, that Elf's Imprint would not do much. However, when a person bearing that imprint encounter an Ancient Era's Elf, the imprint would give off light, warning the Ancient Era's Elves to be careful of that person for that person is a shameless person."
"However, this is not the most miserable thing about it. The most miserable thing is that the people who ended up being imprinted with an Elf's Imprint in this place would generally be unable to leave this place alive."
"It is not that the Ancient Era's Elves would kill them. Instead, it is the other powers that would kill them. That is because they feel that the people who have been imprinted with an Elf's Imprint have lost the face of the human race and these sort of people ought to die," explained Elder Gongsun.
After hearing Elder Gongsun's explanation, Chu Feng noticed the burly man picked up his poor quality Royal Armament and soared to the sky so that he could rapidly leave this place. However, there were indeed many people that stealthily followed him. It could be seen that what Elder Gongsun said was the truth. The burly man would likely be unable to leave this place alive.
After the brief interlude from the burly man, there were no more people that wanted to take advantage of the situation. Moreover, Chu Feng also discovered that the so-called high quality Royal Armaments that these people were presenting, although their quality was pretty decent, there was a major gap between them and his Demon Sealing Sword.
This meant that although they were all Royal Armaments, the quality of Chu Feng's Demon Sealing Sword was even higher. The King among Royal Armaments, that title was truly not just in name.
After this, Sikong Zhaixing took out twenty-two Royal Armaments and handed them over to Chu Feng and the other disciples. Using these twenty-two Royal Armaments, Chu Feng, Wang Wei and the other disciples from the Southern Cyanwood Forest successfully passed through the gate and entered into the Ancient Era's Elves' domain.
"This is?"
However, right at the moment when Chu Feng and them passed through the audit, Sikong Zhaixing began to frown deeply. A trace of unease appeared in his sharp eyes.

Chapter 1061 – Strange Forest
At this moment, nine figures appeared before Sikong Zhaixing's line of sight. These nine individuals all wore a black robe that completely covered their facial appearance.
Simultaneously, these nine people all took out high quality Royal Armaments to be examined in succession. The most important matter was that one of those nine people actually took out ten high quality Royal Armaments in order to pass through the examination.
This meant that among these nine people, one of them was a Martial King level expert. That was because the admission fee for a Martial King level expert to enter into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was ten high quality Royal Armaments.
"Not good." Suddenly, Sikong Zhaixing's gaze flashed. He hurriedly said to the elders behind him. "Other than Elder Gongsun, all of you, take out your Royal Armaments."
Hearing what Sikong Zhaixing said, the management elders were all startled. Although they were extremely confused, they did not hesitate for a long time. Without asking, they began to take out their respective Royal Armaments and handed them over to Sikong Zhaixing.
As management elders, the quality of their Royal Armaments were naturally not weak – they were all high quality.
Seeing the many high quality Royal Armaments placed before him, Sikong Zhaixing picked ten of them. The ten he picked were relatively lower quality than the rest. He then handed them over to Elder Gongsun and said, "Elder Gongsun, quickly enter and follow Chu Feng and them closely. You must definitely ensure their safety."
"Right away." Hearing those words, Elder Gongsun did not hesitate. He received the ten Royal Armaments and hurriedly rushed over. However, due to there being many people on the line to enter through the gate, it was not as simple for Elder Gongsun to enter as he wished – he needed to first get in line.
Seeing Elder Gongsun who was standing all the way back in the queue and then seeing the nine black clothed individuals that had passed through the examination and was proceeding inside, Sikong Zhaixing's complexion grew pale. Suddenly, he clenched his teeth, opened his mouth and loudly said,
"All of you, listen up. If any of you dares to do anything to my Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciples, then even if I am to risk these old bones of mine, I shall make that person die miserably."
Those words were extremely loud and resounding. Practically everyone outside the city gate heard it. Even some of the people inside the city gate managed to hear it.
In an instant, countless gazes were cast at him. Even those Ancient Era's Elves cast their gazes at him.
However, compared to the others, those nine people wearing black robes did not turn around to look at him. If one was to pay careful attention, one would discover that their bodies slightly shivered. They hesitated for a moment before rapidly walking past the city gate.
"Headmaster Sikong, what is the meaning behind your actions?"
"Could there be someone planning to bring harm upon your Southern Cyanwood Forests disciples?"
"How could that be? Who would dare to cause troubles in the Ancient Era's Elves' territory? That would simply be courting death. In my opinion, it is because the Southern Cyanwood Forest had a conflict with the Black Python Stronghold earlier. Loving his disciples deeply, Headmaster Sikong feared the retaliation from the Black Python Stronghold. That's the reason why he did such a thing." The people began to spiritedly discuss Sikong Zhaixing's actions.
"Lord Headmaster, exactly what happened?" Compared to the rest, those management elders from the Southern Cyanwood Forest were finally unable to stop themselves from asking about it. That was because Sikong Zhaixing was always an unflustered person. The series of actions he displayed earlier was truly unusual.
"If my guess is correct, those nine people wearing black clothes ought to be from the Han family," said Sikong Zhaixing.
"Han family, could it be that they planned to do something to our Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciples?" After hearing what Sikong Zhaixing said, the management elders finally noticed that there were indeed nine people rapidly walking toward the city gate. Moreover, as they disappeared into the city gate, the direction that they were going was the same as the one that Chu Feng and them went.
"There is simply no need for the Han family to dress up in disguise if they wanted to come here to train. From their sneaky behavior, they most definitely harbor grudges for our Southern Cyanwood Forest. I suspect that their purpose is most likely to attack Chu Feng and them," said Sikong Zhaixing.
"But Lord Headmaster, the Ancient Era's Elves have clearly prohibited reckless scuffles and killing in malice within their domain. If anyone was to go against their rules, they would be severely punished. No matter how reckless their Han family is, they would not dare to offend the Ancient Era's Elves, right?" However, there were also elders that questioned Sikong Zhaixing's suspicions.
"The Han family possess deranged individuals to begin with. This time, Chu Feng caused their Han family to suffer greatly. It might be possible for the Han family to truly do something to harm Chu Feng and them." However, the majority of the management elders voiced their agreement with Sikong Zhaixing's concern.
"It is best for the Han family to not to be too excessive. Otherwise, I will definitely not let their Han family continue to exist." Compared to those elders, Sikong Zhaixing currently displayed a vicious gaze in his eyes.
At this moment, the people outside were spiritedly discussing what had happened. However, due to the fact that Chu Feng and the others had advanced with a fast speed and the fact that the Ancient Era's Elves' domain possessed a special sort of interference power, this led to Chu Feng and them to not hear the loud shout from Sikong Zhaixing.
At this moment, they have entered into a vast and lush forest. Although calling it a forest was incorrect. It would be better to say that they have entered into an enormous garden. That was because the things growing here were not limited to large trees of different shapes, there were also beautiful flowers and other strange plants. As far as one's eyes could see, it was a beautiful sight.
Chu Feng and them were required to pass through this forest in order to reach the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Due to the fact that the Ancient Era's Elves saw themselves to be above others, they would not bother to guide Chu Feng and them. Thus, if they wanted to pass through this forest, they must find the way themselves.
"This forest is very strange. Once we entered this place, I began to feel powerless from head to toe; even my breathing became difficult. Originally, I thought I would get used to it soon. However, who would've thought that the deeper we go, the more powerless I'd feel. Exactly what sort of place is this?" Complained a pale complexion disciple with a great deal of vexation.
In fact, it was not merely him who had a pale complexion and was sweating profusely, practically everyone from the Southern Cyanwood Forest were in this sort of condition. It was as if they have fallen ill. Their bodies felt completely powerless. As martial cultivators, very rarely have they ever felt such a sensation.
"Junior brother, this is no ordinary forest. Special spirit formations were added onto all of the plants here. Not only are they indestructible, they are also able to suppress our powers. In this place, not to mention flying, even walking would be extremely difficult."
"This is something that the Ancient Era's Elves deliberately set up. That is because they felt that not everyone was qualified to utilize the special power within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Thus, even though we have given our payments, we must still pass through this trial in order to reach the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. If we are incapable of crossing through this forest, we would not be qualified to use the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond." Wang Wei explained to everyone.
"What?! We've even paid them the admission fee. Yet they actually placed such a difficulty to prevent us? They are truly up to no good. Isn't this clearly a scam?!"
"Look at this enormous forest. Who knows how many people would be able to successfully pass through it. It's one thing if those people managed to pass through. But what about those who failed to pass through? Wouldn't this mean that they had given away their high quality Royal Armaments for free and unable to experience and train in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond? Is there anywhere else that's such an enormous scam like this place?" After hearing what Wang Wei said, many people grew anxious.
"You can't say it like that. For those people that are incapable of passing through this forest, the Ancient Era's Elves would return their Royal Armaments. Thus, this can't be considered to be a scam. Instead, it is merely a test." Wang Wei explained.
"I actually felt that the methods of the Ancient Era's Elves are very proper. First, they used an enormous fee to repel the majority of the people. Then, they put the remaining people in a trial. This would allow them to prevent a lot of troubles." Compared to the others, Chu Feng was extremely approving of the Ancient Era's Elves' conduct.
After hearing what Chu Feng said, those people who were complaining earlier all shut their mouths. The angry looks that they had on their faces disappeared. Replacing that were expressions of worry.
They were afraid, afraid that they would not be able to pass through this forest. After all, no matter how precious the high quality Royal Armaments were, those Royal Armaments were not theirs. They were items that were provided to them to pay for the admission fee for free by the Southern Cyanwood Forest. Thus, this opportunity was given to them for free. If they were unable to pass through it, then they would greatly miss out.
"Junior brother Chu Feng, how come you're not feeling any pressure at all and appear to be completely fine?" Suddenly, a disciple pointed at Chu Feng and asked with a face filled with shock.
"Heavens! Junior brother Chu Feng, how did you manage to accomplish that?"
After hearing the words spoken by that disciple, everyone else looked over to Chu Feng. After a careful inspection, their expressions all took a huge change. They were both startled and overjoyed.
It was because they were surprised to discover that it was precisely as that person had said, Chu Feng did not appear to be under any pressure at all. His condition appeared to be exactly the same as before he entered the forest. He was unexpectedly not affected by the forest at all.

Chapter 1062 – A Loud, Frantic Laughter
Faced with the surprised reaction from his fellow disciples, Chu Feng merely smiled and said, "It is not that I cannot feel the pressure from this place. Instead, I know the method to make the pressure from this place to become as tiny as it could be."
"Junior brother Chu Feng, exactly how do you accomplish that? Quickly, teach us it."
"That's right. Junior brother Chu Feng, please teach us so that we could experience the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond too. We don't want to return without any accomplishment."
All of the disciples began to ask for Chu Feng to teach them. It was so much that some of their tones were no longer just asking and more of a begging. From this, one could tell that they truly wanted to pass through this trial.
"It's actually very simple. You all, try not using any martial power to resist that pressure. Instead, let it take its course and interfere with your movement. Try doing that, see if you'll feel better afterwards." Chu Feng said with a smile.
Listening to what Chu Feng said, somewhat suspicious, Wang Wei and them began to try doing what he said. However, soon, their expressions relaxed a lot.
"Junior brother Chu Feng, you're truly a genius. You actually managed to think of such a method. Haha. While that pressure felt extremely fierce, but if you ignore it, the pressure really weakened a lot. It would appear that we would all be able to pass through the trial set up by the Ancient Era's Elves."
Seeing that Chu Feng's method actually worked, everyone displayed expressions of ecstasy. Other than reverence, the gazes that they now looked to Chu Feng with also contained gratefulness. That was because Chu Feng had truly assisted them greatly.
Traveling a long distance to come to this place, they did not wish to return without accomplishing anything. If they were to truly return empty handed, not only would it be a major loss, they would also lose their faces.
"Brat, never would I expect that not only is your mouth vile, you actually know some tricks too."
However, right at this moment, an ice-cold voice suddenly sounded from nearby. Soon, thirty-five figures appeared before Chu Feng's line of sight.
These thirty-five people were composed of both men and women. All of their cultivation were at the peak Martial Lord. Although their faces were sweaty and slightly pale, their current breathing was steady.
It was clear that they had also been pressured by this place. However, they now knew of the method to alleviate the pressure. It was evident that they have heard what Chu Feng said earlier and did what he said.
However, while they managed to obtain benefits, they did not have any intention to express gratitude. Not only did they not express it, instead they even have expressions of malice and surrounded Chu Feng and them.
If one wanted to ask why, it was actually quite simple. That was because they were all core disciples of the Black Python Stronghold.
If it was before, Wang Wei and them would definitely feel worried to encounter such a situation. That was because it was clear that they had come with ill intent.
Even though their cultivation were the same as those Black Python Stronghold's disciples, they were, after all, people from the Black Python Stronghold. Mentally, Wang Wei and them felt that their opponents were stronger than them.
However now, with Chu Feng present, they were not the least bit scared. That was because they knew very well that if the people from the Black Python Stronghold dared to attack them, then it would only be themselves that would suffer.
"You-you all, what are you planning to do?" But, who would've thought that at the moment when they were filled with confidence and thought that Chu Feng would teach these people from the Black Python Stronghold a lesson, Chu Feng actually displayed a face filled with fear and used a trembling voice to ask the people of the Black Python Stronghold.
"Haha, what we're planning to do? You've brought about such harm to our Black Python Stronghold, causing us to soon to lose the status of a Cyanwood Mountain's second-rank subsidiary power, causing the countless people from our Black Python Stronghold to have no chance of entering the Cyanwood Mountain to train there. Yet, you're asking what we plan to do?"
"To be honest. Even if you were to get on your knees and beg for forgiveness right now, we would still take your life." Seeing Chu Feng's cowardly expression, the people from the Black Python Stronghold appeared to be even more complacent. Without any hesitation, they spoke of their purpose.
"Who dares! You must know that this is the Ancient Era's Elves' territory. If you all dare to attack someone here, it would not only be you all who would suffer. Your families and the Black Python Stronghold would also suffer." Right at this moment, Wang Wei shouted.
"Don't dare? If we don't dare, then we wouldn't have appeared in this place." The people from the Black Python Stronghold sneered. At the same time, they began to emit their auras. They surrounded Chu Feng and them and began to draw closer. They were truly planning to kill them.
"If you have the courage, then give it a try. Us, disciples from the Southern Cyanwood Forest, are not that easily bullied!" Seeing that their opponents really had the intention to kill them, the disciples of the Southern Cyanwood Forest burst into deep fury. Not weaker at all, they too emitted their own auras. They had made the preparations to fight their opponents to the death.
"Junior brother Chu Feng, what happened to you?" Right at the moment when killing intent and raging flames filled the air, at the time when a battle could occur at any moment, Wang Wei secretly sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng.
Actually, it was not only Wang Wei who was secretly sending voice transmission to Chu Feng, many other people from the Southern Cyanwood Forest were doing that too. That was because they knew of how powerful Chu Feng was. Even Martial Kings were no match for him. These people from Black Python Stronghold would simply be unable to withstand even a single blow from Chu Feng.
However, the fearful expression that Chu Feng was displaying right now was truly abnormal. They all felt that something might've happened to Chu Feng. Thus, they wished to help Chu Feng alleviate his state of mind. After all, they had no guarantee that they would be able to win against the Black Python Stronghold's disciples. If they wished to live, they would have to rely on Chu Feng.
"Hahahaha…." However, right at this moment, the previous cowardice displayed by Chu Feng disappeared and he began to frantically and loudly laugh.
Chu Feng's laughter was extremely weird, to a state of being a bit scary. Not to mention Wang Wei and them, even the people from the Black Python Stronghold started to frown. Unable to help themselves, they began to panic.
"You, what are you laughing about?!" A person from the Black Python Stronghold asked.
"There's a road to heaven that you refused to take. Hell has no doors yet you burst in." Suddenly, Chu Feng stopped his laughter and cast his bone-chilling ice-cold gaze at the people from the Black Python Stronghold.
"What,what do you mean by that?" Hearing those words, the people from the Black Python Stronghold felt even more unease. Although Chu Feng's expression was extremely tranquil, his gaze caused their hearts to tremble.
At this moment, they had an illusion. That is, the Chu Feng before them was a completely different person from the Chu Feng earlier.
However, Chu Feng completely ignored them. Instead, he said to turned around and said, "Since you've come, there is no need for you to continue hiding. Come on out."
After hearing what Chu Feng said, everyone cast their gazes to the location behind him. When they discovered that there were only lush plants and not a single person, they inevitably began to feel a bit confused.
There were even people who began to feel that something might've been wrong with Chu Feng. His actions today were truly strange.
"Brat, it seems like you do have some tricks up your sleeve. This place prohibits the use of spirit power. Yet, you're actually capable of discovering us. However, if I was you, I would definitely not stay here and would've rushed away."
Right at this moment, an incomparably cold voice suddenly sounded from within the forest. Soon, nine figures appeared before everyone's line of sight.
"Who are you?" Seeing this nine people, Wang Wei and them began to frown. That was because these nine people were different from the people of the Black Python Stronghold. From their bodies, Wang Wei and them were able to sense deadly killing intent.
"Junior brothers and sisters, you've forgotten about us so quickly?" Right at this moment, eight among the nine people suddenly took off their black robes and exposed their youthful faces.
These eight people were composed of five males and three females. Their ages were similar to Wang Wei and them. As for their cultivation, they were all rank nine Martial Lords. However, the gazes that they looked to Wang Wei and them were filled with contempt. As for Wang Wei and them, the gazes they gave to these eight people were filled with astonishment. And within the astonishment were traces of fear.

Chapter 1063 – Power Gap
"Han Wang, Han Jiao, it's actually you all?" Upon seeing the eight people before them, the expressions of Wang Wei and the others all changed greatly. Almost simultaneously, they uttered cries of surprise.
That was because the eight people before them were people they were extremely familiar with. Originally, they were the same as Wang Wei and them, being outstanding disciples of the Southern Cyanwood Forest; moreover, their status was above Wang Wei and them.
Back then, Wang Wei and the others had experienced many bullying by these eight people. However, because their strength was inferior and those eight possessed the protection of the then Punishment Elder, Wang Wei and the others had no choice but to tolerate the bullying.
What could they do when their opponents were people from the Han family?
However, because of a single person, all these extremely arrogant and despotic little overlords from the Han family were expelled from the Southern Cyanwood Forest. As for that person, it was Chu Feng.
"Don't be afraid, we'll make sure to let you all die without suffering. Isn't that right, big brother Han Tao?" The eight people from the Han family first smiled coldly and then cast their gazes toward the leader of the group, the person still wearing the black gown.
"Of course, that Chu Feng is an exception. If we do not chop him into eight pieces, how could we make up for the old men from our Han family that thought highly of him?"
Suddenly, the black gowned man who lead the group waved his large sleeve. He had also cast away the black gown that he wore. His face appeared before Chu Feng and them.
This was the face of a stranger. This man was a middle-aged burly man. He possessed the cultivation of rank three Martial King. Moreover, his aura was extremely dense. At the very least, compared to ordinary rank three Martial Kings, this person's aura was one that would stand out.
The most important matter was that the gaze that he looked to Chu Feng with was filled with hatred.
"Based on your words, you all have come to find me for revenge?" Asked Chu Feng with a smile.
"Heh. Brat, I've heard that you're extremely powerful and that even rank three Martial Kings are no match for you. Furthermore, it is said that you have killed the several old men from my Han family."
"But, I, Han Tao, refuse to believe in this. Today, I shall bring your severed head back. I shall have those old men see for themselves that the thorny genius in their eyes was no match for me, Han Tao."
"Regardless of who it might be, as long as someone dared to cause troubles for my Han family, I, Han Tao, will definitely not let him get away with it. I shall kill you today and flatten your Southern Cyanwood Forest at a later date." Han Tao said in a fierce manner as he walked toward Chu Feng.
"Buzz." However, right at this moment, Chu Feng waved his large sleeve. A boundless golden spirit formation appeared, covering everyone within it.
"What are you doing?"
Han Tao and the others were startled by Chu Feng's action. That was because they were able to tell that it was a concealment spirit formation that Chu Feng made. In this spirit formation, regardless of what happened inside, the people outside would not be able to see it or hear it.
However, such a spirit formation should've been something that they would've set up. For Chu Feng to actually not run away and set up such a spirit formation upon seeing them, this really caused them to be puzzled.
Faced with the confused gazes from Han Tao and them, Chu Feng merely smiled and said, "I'm merely planning to go on a killing spree."
"Killing spree?" Hearing those words from Chu Feng, the hearts of the nine people from the Han family as well as the many people from the Black Python Stronghold shivered. Indescribably, they began to feel unease.
While Chu Feng said those words with a smile on his face, everyone was able to feel a burst of chilliness as well as a life-threatening dangerous aura. All of them emitted from Chu Feng's body.
"Killing spree? What a joke! Did you really think that you're a match for me?" At this moment, that Han Tao suddenly shouted explosively. He did not bother to speak anymore superfluous words. He raised his two hands and swung his arms. He had launched his attack at Chu Feng.
"Boom." This move of his was no small matter. Although he did not utilize a martial skill, his boundless King Level Martial Power was like an invisible, extremely mighty and violent beast as it charged towards Chu Feng.
At this moment, the expressions of Wang Wei and the others took a huge change. That was because from Han Tao's attack, they were able to tell that he was no ordinary rank three Martial King. At the very least, his battle power was a lot stronger than the Han family's elder that Chu Feng killed back then.
Merely with this attack, it was already sufficient enough to kill all of the disciples of the Southern Cyanwood Forest and the Black Python Stronghold.
"Woosh." However, right at this moment, Chu Feng's body suddenly moved. He appeared before everyone. The current Chu Feng was completely different from before.
Thunder Armor. His body was already covered with the Thunder Armor. The flashing lightning within the armor made him appear to be divine. The most important thing was… his aura was no longer that of rank nine Martial Lord, it had been increased to rank one Martial King.
However, the matter that shocked people the most was Chu Feng's following action. Chu Feng suddenly raised his arm up. Then, he abruptly waved it at that martial power attack that was charging towards him. An explosion was heard. Han Tao's attack has been diffused by Chu Feng.
"This…"
Seeing this scene, other than Wang Wei and the other disciples who were relatively calm, everyone was greatly shocked; especially the disciples from the Black Python Stronghold who wanted to kill Chu Feng earlier, their complexions instantly turned green.
At this moment, they realized why Chu Feng would say those things earlier. It turned out that they had kicked an iron plate. Chu Feng was able to easily block even the attack from a rank three Martial King. In that case, wouldn't killing them be as easy as lifting a finger?
At this moment, they were extremely regretful. They truly felt that they had walked into hell. Unfortunately for them, leaving the hell appeared to not be as easy as entering it.
"Not bad. You're actually able to breakthrough from rank nine Martial Lord to rank one Martial King. It appears that those old men were not lying and you really do possess some special tricks up your sleeve."
"It also appears that I can't be careless. It's about time for me to show you the true strength of a Martial King and the true gap between you and I."
"A Martial Lord is forever a Martial Lord. Even if you could, through your trick, obtain the cultivation of rank one Martial King, you would definitely still be no match for me." After he finished those words, Han Tao waved his hand. A large Royal Armament axe appeared in his hand.
Once the large axe appeared, the space trembled. Boundless power was overflowing from the axe. They fused together with Han Tao. At this moment, Han Tao's battle power was rapidly rising.
It was not only Han Tao who was strengthened by the power, even the natural energy within the spirit formation was affected by the axe and began to restlessly move about and revolve around Han Tao.
It was as if Han Tao was the overlord of this region of space. He had already obtained control over everything, including Chu Feng and the others' lives.
"Woosh." However, right at this moment, Chu Feng turned his wrist. The pitch-black colored Demon Sealing Sword appeared in his hand.
"Bang."
Once the Demon Sealing Sword appeared, Chu Feng directly penetrated it into the ground. At the instant the Demon Sealing Sword was pierced into the ground, the natural energy within this spirit formation that was under Han Tao's control actually turned into a hurricane with the Demon Sealing Sword as the center.
The most important matter was that as that hurricane revolved about, everyone was able to feel an oppressive aura. That oppressive aura was not emitted from Chu Feng. They were being emitted by the Demon Sealing Sword.
Fear. That was what everyone was feeling right now. They had all been intimidated by the might of the Demon Sealing Sword. Even Han Tao was of no exception.
Actually, it was not only everyone present that was feeling fear. Han Tao's large Royal Armament axe was also trembling nonstop. The might that it displayed earlier was completely gone now.
"What,what is going on? That sword…"
Seeing the pitch-black colored Demon Sealing Sword, fear filled Han Tao's eyes. He had seen a lot of Royal Armaments before. However, it was the first time that he had seen a Royal Armament like the Demon Sealing Sword that contained such enormous might, that could bring about such enormous pressure and even caused his large Royal Armament axe to tremble in fear.
Right at the moment when everyone's attention was on the Demon Sealing Sword, Chu Feng suddenly gripped its handle, pulled it back up from the ground and pointed it at Han Tao. "You now know about the gap between us, right?"

Chapter 1064 – Arriving at the Immortal Pond
"Gap? With merely a Royal Armament, you actually dared to try to talk about gaps with me? Brat, you are truly too arrogant!"
Even though he sensed how powerful the Demon Sealing Sword was, Han Tao refused to acknowledge Chu Feng's might. Thus, with disregard to the consequences, he moved his body, held the large Royal Armament axe in his hand, and smashed it at Chu Feng.
"Woosh." Seeing this, Chu Feng also moved his body. Holding the Demon Sealing Sword in his hand, he began to fight Han Tao.
"Clank. Clunk. Clunk."
Their speed was extremely fast. The others were nearly unable to see their movements. They merely heard the sound of metals colliding before a large number of sparks appeared in midair. Only after that did they see the two figures appearing in the air once again. The figures then landed onto the ground.
"Wuuuaaahh~~~"
At the moment when the two landed on the ground, the crowd was stupefied once again. That was because Han Tao was lying on the ground. On top of that, a pitch-black colored sword was pierced into his body. It was precisely the Demon Sealing Sword.
A single bout. It was merely a single bout. After the two of them took out their Royal Armaments, a single bout was all it took for the outcome of the battle to be decided.
Moreover, this outcome was something that people from the Han family did not anticipate, something that they did not imagine would happen. Even though their Han family's elders had mentioned about how powerful Chu Feng was to them, it was something that they did not believe.
And now, they had finally believed it. Merely, it appeared to be already too late. That was because, at this moment, the location where Chu Feng's Demon Sealing Sword was pierced into Han Tao's dantian.
With his dantian pierced, his cultivation was spilling out from it. Han Tao, a rank three Martial King, was having his cultivation crippled by Chu Feng.
"Wuuwaaa~~~" Suddenly, Chu Feng moved the Demon Sealing Sword in his hand. This caused Han Tao to give off another scream. But, Chu Feng ignored Han Tao's reaction and sneered. "This is the gap between you and I."
After he finished saying those words, Chu Feng suddenly waved the Demon Sealing Sword. "Bang." Han Tao's body exploded and turned into a large mist of blood that sprinkled everywhere.
At the time when the mist of blood appeared, another layer of invisible energy burst forth from Chu Feng's body. It covered that mist of blood and absorbed it into Chu Feng's body.
Chu Feng had not only killed Han Tao, he had even absorbed him together with his source energy. It could be said that he had completely killed Han Tao.
After killing Han Tao, Chu Feng carried his Demon Sealing Sword over his shoulder and began to proceed toward the eight other people from the Han family. Seeing their frightened expressions and trembling bodies, Chu Feng lightly laughed and said, "Remember, in your next life, you must listen to your elders. Otherwise, you might lose your lives again."
After he finished saying those words, the Demon Sealing Sword in Chu Feng's hand was waved around once more. A pitch-black colored crescent wave swept past. Those eight bodies that were originally standing all exploded in succession and turned into eight scarlet mists of blood.
However, like what had happened to Han Tao, before the mists of blood could even fall to the ground, Chu Feng had already absorbed them completely. The reason why Chu Feng did this was not only to absorb their origin energies, the more important thing was to not leave behind any traces of their bodies.
After all, the Ancient Era's Elves had clearly prohibited wanton battles in this place and even more greatly prohibited the killing of others. Thus, Chu Feng must kill them without leaving a single hint. Otherwise, he would bring about a calamity upon himself.
After killing all of the people from the Han family, Chu Feng did not plan to stop. Instead, he turned his tranquil yet ice-cold gaze at the disciples of the Black Python Stronghold.
"Brother, spare us, brother, please spare us."
"It is us who have eyes but failed to see. It is us who have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please spare our lives. We would definitely keep our lips tight to the matters that happened today. We would definitely keep it all a secret for you." At this moment, the people from the Black Python Stronghold were all trembling. After that, with a 'putt' sound, they all kneeled to the ground and began to kowtow to Chu Feng and beg for his forgiveness.
"Heh." Seeing these disciples of the Black Python Stronghold that were weeping bitter tears, Chu Feng coldly laughed and then said, "The reason why I feigned to be deeply afraid earlier was precisely to probe the reason why you all have come here."
"If you all had planned to merely teach me a lesson, I would've let matters be. Earlier however, we have clearly sensed killing intent from you all."
"The reason you all have come here is precisely to take my life. Yet now you want me to spare your lives, do you not find this to be extremely funny?"
After hearing those words, the people from the Black Python Stronghold all displayed extremely dejected expressions. They finally realized the reason why Chu Feng pretended to be so cowardly earlier even though he was this powerful. At the same time, they also realized that they would likely meet their ends at Chu Feng's hands today.
"Nothing to say? Well, then it's about time for me to send you all off." Suddenly, the Demon Sealing Sword in Chu Feng's hand was waved. With merely a single sword strike, the lives of all these disciples from the Black Python Stronghold were lost.
After killing these people from the Black Python Stronghold, Chu Feng placed his Demon Sealing Sword away. He then removed the Thunder Armor, returning his cultivation from rank one Martial King to rank nine Martial Lord.
After doing these, Chu Feng inspected through his spirit formation of the outside surroundings. After discovering that there was no one around, he waved his large sleeve and dispelled his concealing spirit formation.
"Let's go." After dispelling the concealing spirit formation, Chu Feng said to the others these words before moving toward the depths of the forest.
"Gulp." At this moment, Wang Wei and the others who were looking at Chu Feng's back were unable to help themselves from gulping down a mouthful of saliva.
Even though there were people among them that had killed before, some had even killed more than once or twice, there was not a single one among them who could kill others without blinking an eye. As if it was a common occurrence, Chu Feng did not have any reaction to it afterwards.
At this moment, Wang Wei and the others suddenly felt that Chu Feng had already killed an innumerable number of people. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to reach such a degree of indifference in killing.
Thinking till this point, the hearts of Wang Wei and the others began to boil. Their reverence towards Chu Feng was increased yet again. They suddenly felt that the distance between them and Chu Feng became even greater. That was because they had seen the true gap between them and Chu Feng. Compared to him, they were too weak in every aspect.
After this episode, Chu Feng and the others continued onward. After roughly four hours of walking, they finally exited the forest. What appeared before them was a vast and boundless area of water.
That area of water was truly beautiful. The water was extremely calm, it was like looking at a mirror. Moreover, the water was actually multi-colored.
Under the illumination of the sun, it was extremely gorgeous. It was simply like the rainbow had turned into a sea, like one had come to the land of immortals. Moreover, at such a close distance, the people were able to faintly see that at the deepest region of this region of water was an enormous pillar. That pillar was white in color. It extended out from the region of water all the way up to the sky into the boundless white mist.
Without even thinking, people knew right away that this region of water must be the legendary Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. As for that enormous pillar, it ought to be the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
"This is the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond? Never would I imagine it to be this enormous. It could simply be compared to a small sea." Seeing the vast Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, Wang Wei and the others were unable to help themselves from crying out in surprise. They were all fascinated by the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"Let's go. Let's check out this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond." Compared to the others, Chu Feng merely took a slight appreciation of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's beauty. Afterwards, he began to proceed toward it.
If it was said that the purpose of Wang Wei and the others in coming here was merely for the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
Then, the purpose that Chu Feng now had in coming to here included the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle in the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.

Chapter 1065 – The Elf Lord's Request
"Chu Feng…" However, right at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. Looking to the voice, Elder Gongsun was actually standing midair in the distant horizon and rapidly flying towards Chu Feng and the others.
At this moment, Elder Gongsun was drenched in sweat. His complexion was also quite pale. It was evident that he had been affected a bit from crossing through the forest. However, the current him was displaying an overjoyed expression. After arriving before Chu Feng and them, he first heaved a long sigh of relief, as if a large boulder in his heart had been lifted.
"Chu Feng, you all are fine. This is truly great," said Elder Gongsun with a smile.
"Elder Gongsun, how come you're here?" Chu Feng and the others were surprised by Elder Gongsun's appearance.
"Heh, this is something that I cannot explain clearly in a small amount of time. In short, Lord Headmaster felt that there are people meaning to do something to you all. As for those people, it was very likely for them to be from the Han family. He feared that something might happen to you all, thus he had me follow in to protect you."
"However, who would've thought that you all would walk that fast. I didn't manage to catch up to you at all. Moreover, since the forest was that enormous, trying to find you all was simply like trying to fish a needle from the sea1. Adding on the fact that there was quite a pressure within it, I decided to not linger in the forest, to quickly get to the other side instead and hope that you all would be able to safely come out from it too."
"I am relieved to see you are all completely safe and sound. It would seem that this time around, Lord Headmaster had been paranoid. Those nine people in black clothes are simply not from the Han family nor had they come to bring you all harm." Said Elder Gongsun.
"Elder Gongsun, you're wrong about that. We did encounter those nine black clothed people. Moreover, they are indeed from the Han family." Said Wang Wei in a low voice.
"What? You've encountered them? And they're really from the Han family? Did they do anything to you all?" Hearing what Wang Wei said, Elder Gongsun's expression took a great change. He now had an expression of worry.
Seeing this, Wang Wei lightly smiled. She then moved over to beside Elder Gongsun's ear and, using a voice that only Elder Gongsun could hear, began to explain about what happened.
Hearing Wang Wei's narration, Elder Gongsun's expression went from joy to worry, from surprise to shock. It could be said that his expression was as wondrous as it could be.
In the end, his expression turned to a joyous smile that he could not contain. The gaze that he looked to Chu Feng with was filled with gratification and admiration. He walked over to Chu Feng, patted his shoulder and then said, "Chu Feng, this time it is all thanks to you. Else, if something was to happen to you all, I would not be able to escape punishment either."
"Elder Gongsun is worrying too much." Chu Feng smiled.
"Sigh. That's strange. For Chu Feng and Wang Wei to be able to reach this place is among expectations, but how come all of you managed to pass the forest and reach this place?" Suddenly, Elder Gongsun's vision shifted. He looked to all of the disciples and displayed a shocked expression.
"Elder Gongsun, about this matter…we would have to thank junior brother Chu Feng again." Seeing this, Wang Wei began to explain about what had happened to Elder Gongsun again.
"Great, great, great. This is truly too great." After hearing Wang Wei's narration, Elder Gongsun was so excited that he shouted three 'greats' in succession. He then turned to Chu Feng and said,
"In order to allow all of our disciples to pass through that forest, every generation of our Southern Cyanwood Forest's Lord Headmasters have thought of countless different countermeasures. However, none of them were of any use. In the end, we had no choice but to give up on them and let the disciples take on the trail with their own strength."
"However, never would I imagine that the thing that every generation of our Lord Headmasters failed to accomplish would actually be accomplished by you, Chu Feng. This time around, not only have you helped them, you have also helped our entire Southern Cyanwood Forest."
Wang Wei and the others were also nodding in approval as Elder Gongsun said those words. That was because there were close to ten thousand people that entered this place. However, the number of people that managed to pass through the forest, as far as their eyes could see right now, numbered to merely over a hundred people. Even if there were still a lot of people behind, not all of them would be able to pass through the forest. At the very least, half the people behind would not be able to pass through the forest.
This not only displayed how difficult the forest was; it also illustrated that practically no one could figure out a method to easily pass through the forest; however, Chu Feng did and told it to them.
Although this might be a very small matter to Chu Feng, to the Southern Cyanwood Forest, at least to the future outstanding disciples of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, it was a priceless treasure.
"Elder Gongsun, since you've come here, join us in experiencing this miraculous Ancient Era's Immortal Pond." Suddenly, Wang Wei said that.
"Mn. This is truly nostalgic. The last time I've come to the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was in my youth. The me from back then was about only a couple years older than you all."
"In a blink of an eye, close to two hundred years has sorrowfully passed. From the young and vigorous youngster back then, I have now turned into a white haired old man. However, this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond did not change in the slightest." Sighed Elder Gongsun with sorrow.
"Elder Gongsun, so you've actually been here before? In that case, are there any special places here that we need to take note of? You must definitely give us some pointers." Hearing what Elder Gongsun said, the disciples asked together.
"Heh, there's really nothing that could be considered as pointers. It's just that although the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond appears to be right before us, it is actually not opened yet. There is a layer of formless spirit formation that is sealing the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Right now, it is impossible for us to enter it." Said Elder Gongsun.
"What? Can't enter it? Could there be even more trials?" Hearing those words, many disciples displayed worried expressions.
"Haha, there's no more trial. It's merely that it hasn't been a day since the forest trial started. After a day has passed, the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's sealing spirit formation will open by itself. At that time, we would be able to enter the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond." Explained Elder Gongsun.
At this moment, the disciples who were worried heaved sighs of relief. They then asked, "So that was the case. Then, Elder Gongsun, what should we do now?"
"I'm afraid that we will have to camp out here tonight. However, there's no harm in that either because the nightscape of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond is very beautiful."
Elder Gongsun smiled. He then selected a pretty decent place and began to build spirit formation houses. Seeing this, Chu Feng and the others also ran over to help him.
However, at the time when Chu Feng and them were forced to spend the night in the open outside of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond with wind as their dinner, a grand and imposing palace was on the other side of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
A large number of people were gathered in this palace. These people had slim figures. Yet, they possessed extraordinary aura. They had pointy ears, yellow hair and green eyes.
Although their appearance was slightly different from that of humans, they possessed a special sort of beauty. As for their identity, they were naturally the rulers of this place, the Ancient Era's Elves.
The Ancient Era's Elves possessed a lot of domains. The domains they owned practically covered the entire Holy Land of Martialism. In every domain, there was a person in charge. This person was called the Elf Lord.
The Elf Lord of this domain was called the Southern Elf Lord. That was because this domain was the Southern Domain in the Ancient Era's Elves' world.
The Southern Elf Lord was extremely powerful. His cultivation was at the Half Martial Emperor level. However, he was no ordinary Half Martial Emperor. His cultivation was frighteningly profound. At this moment, he was standing at the peak of the palace. All of the Ancient Era's Elves of the Southern Domain were expressing expressions of reverence towards him.
However, such a person of high status and powerful strength was looking at a young Ancient Era's Elf with an amiable smile on his face. Moreover, with a requesting tone, he said, "Lord Xian Kun, it is all up to you this time."

Chapter 1066 – Little Burglar Girl
"Southern Elf Lord, your words are too modest. As I am also an Ancient Era's Elf, this is something that I should do."
"Furthermore, it is merely triggering an Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. To me, such a thing is merely a piece of cake and not worthy of mention." This Ancient Era's Elf was truly young. His age was about the same as Chu Feng, being at the early twenties.
However, his cultivation was greatly superior to Chu Feng's. He was actually a rank five Martial Lord. The most important matter was that although he was also an Ancient Era's Elf, the clothes he wore were different from the masses.
A special symbol was on his clothes. That symbol was weaved using a special sort of plant. Moreover, the color of the symbol was the same as the green cloak that he wore. Thus, it was impossible for ordinary people to see its difference.
However, the Ancient Era's Elves knew about the importance of that symbol. This was also why the Southern Elf Lord was so courteous towards this youth.
However, it was merely one of the reasons. As for the other reason, it was because this Ancient Era's Elf by the name of Xian Kun was a genius that possessed the capability to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
"What Lord Xian Kun said is correct. However, our Southern Domain has been unable to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle for many years now. To be frank, we have been bringing shame upon the name of Ancient Era's Elves."
"Now that Lord Xian Kun has come, if you're able to successfully trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, I would, at the very least, be able to raise my head up when facing the other Elf Lords in our race's general assembly."
"Thus, no matter what, I must thank Lord Xian Kun. This meager gift is merely a reflection of my appreciation. I hope that Lord Xian Kun would accept it." As he said those words, the Southern Elf Lord handed over a Cosmos Sack to the Ancient Era's Elf by the name of Xian Kun.
Xian Kun received the Cosmos Sack and displayed a satisfied smile. While placing the Cosmos Sack away, he said confidently, "Rest assured, even the golden Ancient Era's Immortal Needle in the kingdom was almost triggered by me. There's no need to mention about a mere silver Ancient Era's Immortal Needle that you have here."
"That's of course." The Southern Elf Lord also nodded with a smile on his face. At the same time, he turned his gaze toward the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle in the distant. His eyes were filled with anticipation. He truly anticipated for the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle to give off green lightning that covered the entire southern domain's sky once again.
"Oh, that's right. Where's the princess? Is she not back yet?" Xian Kun suddenly asked.
"Lady Princess said that she wanted to personally sense whether the Ancient Era's Immortal Flower is present and refused to allow us to follow her. Thus, we also do not know where she has gone to." The Southern Elf Lord answered.
"Mn, the princess is, after all, very young. It is normal for her to want to play around. Although the Immortal Pond is about to open now and many humans and monstrous beasts have come in here, I believe that with their measly bits of ability, not a single one of them would be able to injure the princess."
"Merely, from today till three days later is the period of time in which the energy of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond is the densest. For us to allow those humans and monstrous beasts to enjoy it together with us, it is a great bargain for them." Said Xian Kun in a slightly displeased manner.
"There's nothing we can do about this. It is, after all, a rule left behind by our ancestor. If we wish to blame anyone, we could only blame it on the human race's Qing Xuantian being too powerful. Not only did he defeat our ancestor, he even saved our race. He is a great benefactor to our Ancient Era's Elves. Thus, ever since then, every successive generation of our King would comply with the agreement our ancestor had with Qing Xuantian." Said the Southern Elf Lord.
"Humph. We have already allowed them to enjoy it for ten thousand years now. Is this not enough?"
"In the future, when I become a Martial Emperor and become a great general, I will definitely suggest to the King to stop allowing the humans and monstrous beasts from enjoying our Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds anymore."
"Moreover, I would also personally seize back those Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds that are in the hands of the humans." Saying till this, a flash of arrogant fierceness appeared in Xian Kun's eyes.
Chu Feng and the others were ignorant of the conversation that had happened between the Southern Elf Lord and Xian Kun. When they finished constructing the spirit formation house, Chu Feng and the others entered into it.
Because Elder Gongsun told them that the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was a very exhausting place to be in, Chu Feng and the others decided to sleep early after entering into the house.
At the dawn of the next day, Chu Feng was woken up by a crisp ringing sound from outside. The moment when Chu Feng exited the spirit formation house, he discovered that there were countless spirit formation houses set up outside of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
At this moment, people from various different groups were walking out from those spirit formation houses. After a day and night, there were about four thousand people that passed through that forest. Considering the pressure of that forest, this number was quite a considerable amount. That was because this was equivalent to having close to half of the people who entered the forest managing to successfully pass through it.
However, the shocking matter was that among these close to four thousand people, close to two thousand were disciples of the Orion Monastery. In other words, of the three thousand Orion Monastery disciples, the majority of them had passed the forest trial. Moreover, they had occupied half of the people that passed the forest trial.
"It's finally starting." At this moment, Elder Gongsun also walked out. He looked to the direction where the crowd gathered. The smile on his face grew a bit denser.
That location was the place where the ringing sound originated from. It was also the place where everyone had gathered. As for the ringing sound, it was naturally something that the Ancient Era's Elves sounded. At this moment, they were currently handing something to everyone.
"What is that?" Asked Wang Wei curiously.
"Something good. Let's go over and receive them." Elder Gongsun feigned to be mysterious. He did not explain what they were and instead started leading the group over there.
After arriving there, Chu Feng and the others discovered that the Ancient Era's Elves were actually very generous. Before the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond open, the Ancient Era's Elves had already prepared some medicines for them.
It was said that after taking this medicine, one would be able to absorb the energy in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond even better for a period of time.
Although it was said to be medicine, it actually appeared more like food. At the very least, it smelled very delicious. Due to the fact that the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond would only open for three days, everyone was handed three medicine pellets.
"Stop right there. Damned girl, give me back my medicines." Right at the moment when Chu Feng and the others were examining the medicines handed to them, shouts suddenly sounded from the distance.
Chu Feng was able to clearly see that there was a girl rapidly shuttling through the crowd and was frantically running towards their direction.
This girl was holding something in her hand. At this moment, she was stuffing her mouth with the things in her hand. Chu Feng and the others all recognized that those things were the medicines handed to them by the Ancient Era's Elves.
"Damned girl, I shall see where you can run off to." That little girl originally wanted to shuttle through Chu Feng and the others. However, right when she reached Chu Feng and the others, a large hand suddenly appeared and tightly grabbed the little girl's shoulder, pulling her back.
"Aiyo." The sudden strength pulling her back caught the little girl off-guard. She cried out in alarm with her sweet-sounding voice.
At this moment, Chu Feng and the others saw that the person who caught the little girl's shoulder was a young man. His cultivation was not weak, being a rank nine Martial Lord. The most important thing was his outfit. It was clearly the outfit of an Orion Monastery's core disciple.
"Return to me my medicines." At this moment, anger was written all over that disciple's face. He held the little girl by her neck from behind and directly lifted her up. He raised his palm toward the little girl's clothes, he was planning to search the little girl's body.
Wang Wei and the others were shocked by this scene. Even though she was merely a little girl, she appeared to be about twelve years of age based on her appearance.
That age could be considered as almost a woman. Thus, the little girl's body was, to a greater or lesser degree, somewhat developed.
Moreover, this little girl had long hair, pitch black eyes, and fair white skin as soft as water. From a single glance, one could tell that she would become a beauty once she's older.
Thus, regardless of what sort of crime that little girl had done, it was still unduly for this Orion Monastery's disciple to publicly search her body.
"Stop."
Right at the moment when the man's hand was about to enter into the little girl's clothes, Chu Feng acted. He grabbed the man's hand, preventing his unduly behavior.

Chapter 1067 – I'm Not Telling You
"Release my hand. My business is not something that you can interfere in." Seeing that there was actually someone who decided to stop him, and that person was a Southern Cyanwood Forest disciple on top of that, a displeased expression appeared on the angry face of that Orion Monastery's disciple. He waved his arm and tried to shake off Chu Feng's hand.
However, Chu Feng's arm was as rigid as steel. Even though that Orion Monastery's disciple used a great amount of strength, he was unable to shake off Chu Feng's hand.
"Release her." Chu Feng spoke with a calm voice. However, there was a faint trace of deterrence within his voice.
Moreover, at this moment, Chu Feng had already begun to slightly increase the strength of his hand's grip which gave an enormous pressure on the wrist of that Orion Monastery's disciple. He even felt a sensation that his wrist was about to break.
"You…"
Seeing that the situation wasn't good, even though that Orion Monastery's disciple was unwilling to, he still hurriedly released the little girl. That was because a lot of people were gathered here. As a core disciple of the Orion Monastery, he did not want to shame himself before the crowd.
Seeing this, the little girl hurriedly ran away from the Orion Monastery's disciple and hid behind Chu Feng. She tightly grabbed Chu Feng's clothes with her little hands. It was as if she had grabbed onto her savior. Her timid appearance was truly lovable.
"Do you know this girl?" Suddenly, someone asked. It was not the man who caught the little girl. However, this person was also a disciple of the Orion Monastery.
There were a lot of people from the Orion Monastery. At this moment, practically all of the surrounding people were from the Orion Monastery. Moreover, regardless of whether they were men or women, they were all looking at Chu Feng with ill intended gazes.
"Not at all." Chu Feng shook his head. No matter how oppressive his opponents were, Chu Feng was still as calm as ever. There was not the slightest trace of fear in his face.
"If you don't know her, then why did you meddle in our business?" Another disciple from the Orion Monastery shouted. Moreover, at this moment, more and more disciples from the Orion Monastery came over. Judging from their appearance, it seemed as if they were trying to overwhelm Chu Feng with their oppressiveness.
"What happened?"
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd. Upon hearing this voice, the disciples of the Orion Monastery immediately moved aside. At this moment, Chu Feng and the others saw a beautiful and elegant young man walking over from the crowd.
When this person appeared, the people of the Orion Monastery all displayed expressions of reverence. One could tell that the identity of this person was definitely extraordinary.
As for this person, he was someone that Chu Feng and the others have seen before; one of this year's most outstanding genius disciple of the Orion Monastery, Yuan Qing.
"Brother Yuan Qing, that girl stole the medicines handed to me by the Ancient Era's Elves. I planned to snatch it back from her but who would've thought that this Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple decided to shield that girl for no reason at all." Seeing Yuan Qing's appearance, that disciple who had his medicinal pellets stolen hurriedly complained to Yuan Qing.
"Oh?" Hearing what had happened, Yuan Qing cast his gaze over to Chu Feng. His gaze contained a clear sense of displeasure.
"It's merely medicinal pellets. I'll give mine to you, so stop making things difficult for a little girl." Chu Feng knew that the medicinal pellets had already been swallowed by the little girl. Thus, he directly threw the three medicinal pellets in his hand over to them.
Upon seeing the medicinal pellets in Chu Feng's hand, that disciple's eyes shined. He extended his hand and received those medicinal pellets. However, who would've thought that, right at this moment, Yuan Qing suddenly grabbed his wrist and stopped his movement. He then said to Chu Feng, "You think that we would let things be after you return what was stolen from us? If things could be solved that easily, would the law of the land even exist anymore?"
"What do you want then?" Seeing that they were unwilling to forgive, a trace of displeasure flashed through Chu Feng's eyes. While this Yuan Qing might be a genius to the others, he was not anyone special in Chu Feng's eyes.
"What I want? You're the thief here, yet you're acting like you're in the right?"
"That's right. You're shielding a thief! Yet you dare to act so unyielding! Did you take our Orion Monastery to be the Black Python Stronghold?! We are not a power that would allow you to bully us as you wish!"
Seeing that Chu Feng actually dared to talk back, the disciples of the Orion Monastery all displayed angry expressions. There were even some who had already exposed their killing intent toward Chu Feng.
"Little friend Yuan Qing, I am the Southern Cyanwood Forest's Punishment Elder Gongsun Kuo."
"She is, after all, a child. Even if she had stolen your medicines, it must've been done unintentionally. How about giving this old one here some face and let her go? What do you think?" Seeing that the situation was turning bad, Elder Gongsun hurriedly stood out.
"Since even an elder like you have spoken, I would definitely give you the face. However, elder, you are unrelated with this girl, why are you so inclined to care about this matter? Someone as experienced as yourself ought to know that it is best to not meddle in another's business. You must definitely not bring about calamity upon yourself because of mere ignorant heroism." After Yuan Qing said those words, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, that Orion Monastery's disciple immediately took the medicinal pellets from Chu Feng's hand. Then, the Orion Monastery's disciples coldly snorted and gave Chu Feng angry gazes before turning around to leave.
"Huuu~~" After the people from the Orion Monastery left, Elder Gongsun heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, with a worried expression, he looked to Chu Feng and said, "Chu Feng, I'm afraid that you've brought trouble upon yourself."
"The people from the Orion Monastery are not to be trifled with. Although they would not dare to do anything to you here because there is the deterrence of the Ancient Era's Elves, but once you leave this place, they would dare to do any and everything."
"Especially you. In the future, you would be entering the Cyanwood Mountain as disciples. At that time, they would inevitably point their spearheads towards you all. Adding on how powerful the Orion Monastery is in the Cyanwood Mountain, if they were to truly harbor ill intent for you, then your days in the Cyanwood Mountain might become difficult."
"Elder Gongsun, does the Cyanwood Mountain allow for their disciples to fight each other at will?" Chu Feng asked.
"Of course they would not allow for it. However, everyone knows that the disciples of the Cyanwood Mountain would compete with one another either openly or secretly. The competition among the core disciples is even more distinct. Thus, sometimes the Cyanwood Mountain would also turn a blind eye to what might be happening." Said Elder Gongsun.
"As long as they do not dare to act in the open, everything would be fine. Furthermore, if they truly were to refuse to let such a small matter go, I would let them know that I, Chu Feng, is not that easily bullied." Although he knew that his previous actions might have created a great enemy for himself, Chu Feng did not display the slightest trace of fear on his face.
"Sigh. I hope that to be the case. However, even though our Southern Cyanwood Forest had been in decline for many years, we still possess some connections in the Cyanwood Mountain. If they truly planned to harm you, they would, at the very most, only be able to make things difficult for you and not be able to bring about dangers to your life." Said Elder Gongsun.
"Mn, where did that little girl go?" Suddenly, Elder Gongsun looked behind Chu Feng and said in shock.
"What?" Hearing those words, Chu Feng's pupils suddenly shrunk. A shocked expression emerged on his face. He was surprised to discover that the little girl hiding behind him had disappeared. Moreover, he did not even notice her disappearance in the slightest.
"Hey, what's your name?" Right at this moment, a young and sweet voice sounded from a place not far away. Turning his gaze to look, it was that little girl. Moreover, at this moment, the little girl had her hands behind her back and was walking toward Chu Feng.
"Heh, my name's Chu Feng, what's your name?" Chu Feng bent down and asked with a smile.
"Oh. So your name's Chu Feng? Very well. Chu Feng, thank you for helping me. Consider this as my thanks." The little girl stuffed a Cosmos Sack into Chu Feng's hand.
After inspecting the items within the Cosmos Sack, Chu Feng's eyes shined. When he managed to react, he discovered that the little girl was currently walking towards the crowd with her hands behind her back.
"Hey, little lady, you haven't told me your name yet." Seeing this, Chu Feng asked with a smile on his face.
Hearing Chu Feng's question, that little girl turned around and exposed a sweet and slightly naughty smile. She said, "I'm not telling you."
After saying those words, the little girl turned around and skipped into the crowd. Judging from her appearance, she appeared to be in a good mood.

Chapter 1068 – Entering the Immortal Pond
"This girl… it appears that she isn't that simple." Seeing the back view of the little girl as she left, surprise was written all over Elder Gongsun's face.
"That's right. That little girl, her age is so young yet she was able to steal medicines from a rank nine Martial Lord. That was already abnormal. Then, she suddenly left without any of us detecting it. That is simply extraordinary."
"It's more than extraordinary, it could even be said to be mystical. Without mentioning of where she came from, with her age, she should have only started martial cultivation; how could she have managed to pass through the forest trial?"
Actually, not only was Elder Gongsun shocked, Wang Wei and the other disciples were also shocked. That was because, at this point, as long as one was not a fool, they would realize that the little girl was extraordinary and most definitely not an ordinary child.
"Junior brother Chu Feng, what did that little girl give you?" After exclaiming their shock and surprise, Wang Wei and the others cast their gaze toward the Cosmos Sack in Chu Feng's hand. They were extremely curious as to what was in the Cosmos Sack.
"Elder Gongsun, do you know if there would be side effects if we were to take a lot of the medicinal pellets handed to us by the Ancient Era's Elves?" Chu Feng did not respond to everyone's curiosity. Instead, he turned to Elder Gongsun and asked.
"Side effects? Of course not. It is said that the more of that medicinal pellet one takes, the more beneficial it would be. How could it possibly have side effects?"
"Back when I was young, there had once been a Cyanwood Mountain subsidiary power that, for the purpose of cultivating one of their outstanding disciples, ordered all of their disciples to hand their medicinal pellets to that disciple to use. That disciple ended up obtaining a great harvest and directly reaching a breakthrough in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond." Said Elder Gongsun.
"In that case, I am relieved." Chu Feng lightly smiled. He then threw the Cosmos Sack in his hand over to Wang Wei and said, "Elder sister Wang Wei, distribute them to everyone. Thirty pellets per person."
"What?" Hearing what Chu Feng said, Wang Wei was first startled. But, when she inspected the Cosmos Sack given to her by Chu Feng, she became greatly shocked. It turned out that the Cosmos Sack was filled with those medicinal pellets that were handed to them by the Ancient Era's Elves. Moreover, their quantity was enormous – there were close to a thousand such medicinal pellets.
While she was shocked, Wang Wei still kept her composure and began to secretly distribute the medicinal pellets to everyone. Whenever a disciple obtained their distribution of the medicinal pellets, their expressions were filled with extreme shock before being replaced with ecstasy. After their pleasant surprise passed, they cast their gaze at Chu Feng. Moreover, their gazes were filled with envy and admiration.
Earlier, when Chu Feng acted to save the little girl, they were confused about why he did that. After all, his opponent was someone from the Orion Monastery.
However now, they began to feel envy and admiration for Chu Feng. That was because this result had shown them that the little girl that Chu Feng saved was extremely extraordinary.
Indeed; for the purpose of saving the little girl, Chu Feng offended the Orion Monastery. However, it was also because he saved the little girl that Chu Feng got to meet an important person.
Based on what the little girl displayed, only Heavens knew what sort of powerful character or strong power was behind her back. However, they all felt that whatever it might be that stood behind her, it would be a lot more powerful than the Orion Monastery. Otherwise, how could they nurture such an outstanding little girl?
And now, Chu Feng had become this little girl's benefactor. How could they not envy him?
Faced with the gazes of envy and admiration from the disciples, Chu Feng was awfully at ease. Back then, he merely saved the little girl because he couldn't bear to see her being bullied like so. He did not think too much about it.
Even now, after he knew how extraordinary that little girl was, Chu Feng still did not have any thoughts of obtaining benefits from her. That was because what he had done earlier was nothing more than a slight effort. These medicinal pellets the little girl had given him were more than enough to compensate Chu Feng. Thus, in Chu Feng's heart, they were already even.
After Wang Wei finished distributing the medicinal pellets, there were still quite a bit remaining. Chu Feng kept a portion to himself and gave the rest to Elder Gongsun.
Elder Gongsun had already reached rank eight Martial King since a long time ago. However, he had been unable to break through to rank nine Martial King for a very long time. It was all because he was unable to achieve that slight bit of comprehension between rank eight and rank nine Martial King to break through.
The Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was also known as the sacred land for cultivation and contained numerous insights for cultivators. Thus, as Elder Gongsun had come to the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, it would be greatly beneficial to him and might even allow him to obtain the insight to break through into rank nine Martial King.
Elder Gongsun was also conscious about this matter. Thus, he did not reject Chu Feng's good intentions. Merely, in addition to gratefulness, he was rejoicing in his heart. He rejoiced the fact that when he was being forced back by Han Qingyu, he chose to protect Chu Feng. As he knew now, the youngster before him was worthy of him doing so.
"It's opening. The spirit formation that seals the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond has been opened. We can enter into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond to train now." Suddenly, the enthusiasm of the whole crowd was aroused. Many people even began to cheer.
Turning their gazes to look, there was indeed a ripple at the direction of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Below that ripple was a gap. Evidently, that ought to be the entrance to the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. The sealing spirit formation was indeed opened. However, it only opened an entrance. However, regardless, they were now able to truly enter into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
Once the spirit formation opened, the people rushed into the entrance. After all, they were only permitted to train in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond for three days. To them, these three days could be said to be extremely difficult to obtain. Thus, they must naturally make every second count and not waste the slightest amount of time.
In this sort of situation, Chu Feng and the others also walked into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. After entering into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, Chu Feng discovered that while the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was huge, it was not very deep. Or, at the very least, the outer region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was not deep.
Moreover, while the water of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was multicolored and very gorgeous, it was also extremely clear. One could see the bottom of the pond through the water. There were neither living things or plants at the bottom of the pond. All there was were stones that appeared like jades and pearls, bringing about an even more beautiful appearance to this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"This truly is a wondrous place."
Although the location Chu Feng and the others were at was merely the periphery of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, Chu Feng was already able to sense a special sort of natural energy. This sort of natural energy was something that he had only sensed before from mysterious objects and natural oddities. However, the natural energy in this place was extremely gentle and not berserk at all. Therefore, everyone was able to train in this place and absorb those natural energies.
"Junior brother Chu Feng, the medicinal pellets are truly useful. After taking them, I am able to sense the special power within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Quickly, try it out too. This is truly too miraculous." Said Wang Wei to Chu Feng with joy written all over her face.
"Senior sister Wang Wei, could it be that you were unable to sense the special power of this place before taking the medicinal pellets?" Chu Feng asked.
"That's right, before taking the medicinal pellets, I was unable to sense anything. However, after taking the medicinal pellets, I sensed that some difference." Wang Wei nodded. However, her large eyes suddenly shined. She seemed to realized something. Startled, she asked, "Junior brother Chu Feng, could it be that you are able to sense the power of this place even without taking the medicinal pellets?"

Chapter 1069 – Expectation, Desire
"No."
Faced with Wang Wei's question, Chu Feng shook his head. He did not tell her the truth. It was not that he wanted to deliberately hide it from her, it was instead because he did not want to hurt her self-esteem.
Sometimes, there was truly an enormous gap between talents. For example, not everyone possessed Chu Feng's sensitivity.
Chu Feng knew that the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond that he sensed ought to be somewhat intrinsically different from the ones that Wang Wei and the others sensed. Chu Feng had sensed the natural energies with his own strength whereas Wang Wei and the others had used the assistance of foreign materials, the medicinal pellets, in order to sense the natural energies. Moreover, what she had sensed was likely not as profound and clear as what Chu Feng sensed.
Afterwards, Chu Feng also pretended that he didn't sense anything and swallowed a portion of the medicinal pellets. Although he felt a slight change, it was not a great effect.
Thus, Chu Feng felt that these medicinal pellets were likely capable of temporarily increasing one's sensitivity so that they could sense the things within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond in order to assist them in training.
As for the reason why the effect of these medicinal pellets were very tiny for Chu Feng, it most likely meant that Chu Feng's sensitivity was already extremely high and did not need these medicinal pellets to increase his sensitivity. Even if he used them, he would not be able to obtain much of a result from them.
"My medicinal pellets are gone?! What's going on?! I swear I placed them in my Cosmos Sack, how come I can't find them anymore?!"
"Aiya, my medicinal pellets are gone too!"
"Are you kidding?! Mine are also gone! Who took my medicinal pellets?!"
Right at this moment, many people in the surrounding began to shout in panic. Upon checking, Chu Feng and the others discovered that there were at least three hundred individuals who had lost their medicinal pellets. Moreover, all of them had a single common ground – they were all disciples of the Orion Monastery. Furthermore, the majority of them were the people who had surrounded Chu Feng and were trying to oppress him earlier.
"Heh…"
At this moment, the corners of Chu Feng's lips were slightly raised. That was because he recalled the close to a thousand medicinal pellets given to him by the little girl and seemed to have realized something.
Compared to Chu Feng, the other disciples of the Southern Cyanwood Forest were unable to contain themselves and started laughing. Moreover, their laughter was extremely vile. Fearing that their vile laughter would be discovered by the people of the Orion Monastery but still being unable to contain themselves, the disciples of the Southern Cyanwood Forest started using their hands to cover their mouths. However, this only made them appear to be even more vile.
Actually, this couldn't be blamed on them. That was because even Elder Gongsun, a senior who had lived for over two hundred years, was laughing at this moment.
As for the reason why they were laughing so happily, it was because they all felt that karma had hit those people from the Orion Monastery.
"Let's go. Let's not stay in this place anymore. Let's go to the center of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. That is the entrance to the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and also the place with the densest concentration of energies. If you all want to train, that place would be the best place for it." Suddenly, Elder Gongsun called to the attention of the disciples.
After hearing what Elder Gongsun said, Chu Feng and the others discovered that, at this moment, other than them and the disciples of the Orion Monastery who had lost their medicinal pellets, the majority of the crowd were proceeding towards the center of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
Seeing this, Chu Feng and the others did not hesitate and began to follow Elder Gongsun toward the center with rapid speed.
Everyone was walking through the water. No one chose to fly. That was because there were special energies in the Immortal Pond. Those energies were things that they wanted, so how could they possibly be willing to leave the Immortal Pond and fly?
The further they went, Chu Feng discovered that the water became deeper and deeper. Even though the water was extremely clear, the bottom of the pond started to become unable to be seen.
After they arrived at the center region, when they looked downward, what they saw was actually pitch black. It appeared as if what was below them was a bottomless pit. A single glance at that pit would give one shivers.
However, even though this was the case, people were still swimming toward the center region. None of them dove into the water, they were merely swimming and floating on the surface of the water.
Chu Feng and the others had also arrived at this place. Although they were still moving about in the water, they were also able to sense that the special energies in this region was many times denser.
However, Chu Feng was also able to sense that the dense energies were surging forth from below. In other words, the dense energies originated from the bottomless pit. That was also the so-called deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
At the moment when everyone was basked in the wondrous sensation brought forth by the center of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, Chu Feng was staring at the colossal Ancient Era's Immortal Needle that spread from the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and extended all the way into the boundless white mist above.
From where he was before, this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle really did appear like a needle. However, after seeing it up close, calling it a 'needle' was truly unbefitting.
This Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was enormous. Its diameter was over a hundred meters. It was definitely not something that mortals could create. Even though Chu Feng was unable to use his spirit power, but just by merely looking at it with his eyes, he was able to tell that this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was an indestructible item.
Moreover, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was filled with carvings of symbols and runes. They were things that even Chu Feng was unable to decipher. Likely, they were carved onto the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle during the Ancient Era.
"Rumble~~"
Not long after the people began to train in the center of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, faint rumbles sounded from the horizon at the other side of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Raising their heads to see, Chu Feng and the others discovered that a lotus flower-like item was flying toward them.
Although the appearance of this item was like a lotus, its size was very big. To be exact, it appeared more like a special kind of warship.
Roughly six hundred Ancient Era's Elves were standing on top of the lotus flower warship. Like the other Ancient Era's Elves, they were all wearing green plant cloaks. It was simply impossible for one to see their facial appearance, determine their gender or their strength.
However, there were two figures standing at the front most region of the warship. Moreover, one of the two figures actually spoke with an aged yet vigorous voice.
"The location you're all in right now is the entrance to the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. In less than an hour, the power within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's depths would start to flow out. At that time, the location that you're all in now would be the location the densest energy in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. However, it would also be the most dangerous location."
"If you wish to live, then it's best for you to leave this place as quickly as possible. However, if there are any among you that wish to challenge the power of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond in order to obtain an even better harvest, then continue to stay here."
"However, do not blame me for not warning you all that the outflow of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's power is extremely fierce. In the past, there had been people who were unable to withstand it and ended up dying on the spot. Thus, I advise you all to assess your own capabilities and act accordingly. You must definitely not lose your lives for the sake of trying to act brave for an instant."
Once that Ancient Era's Elf said those words, the majority of the people began to frantically swim away from the center of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. They were trying to leave this region as quickly as possible. In an instant, at this region that previously had close to four thousand people, only several hundred people remained.
"Junior brother Chu Feng, are you truly planning to challenge the deepest region of this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond?" Seeing that Chu Feng did not have the slightest intention to leave, Wang Wei asked worriedly.
"Since I've come here, if I do not give it a try, I would regret it afterwards." Chu Feng said with a smile on his face. However, one could tell his determination.
"Chu Feng, borrowing the words said by that Ancient Era's Elf, you must assess your capabilities and act accordingly; you must definitely not try to act brave." Seeing Chu Feng's determination, Elder Gongsun advised.
"Elder, please rest assured, this Chu Feng knows about how to act appropriately." Said Chu Feng.
"Mn." Seeing Chu Feng's confident appearance, Elder Gongsun smiled and nodded. He then turned to Wang Wei and the others, waved his hand and said, "Let's go. While Chu Feng could try to challenge this place, I'm afraid you all would not be able to."
After saying those, Elder Gongsun began to swim towards the outer region. As even Elder Gongsun had said such a thing, it was naturally unbefitting for Wang Wei and the others to continue to stay here. After taking another glance at Chu Feng, they also began to swim away.
In their hearts, they knew very well. It was exactly as Elder Gongsun had said, while Chu Feng was able to challenge this place, they were incapable. Thus, not a single one of them dared to continue to stay here and had placed all of their hopes onto Chu Feng.
Although they were a bit worried, they also hoped that Chu Feng would be able to withstand the pressure of this place and win honor for the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
That was because the current Chu Feng was already no longer merely Sikong Zhaixing's hope; instead, he had become the hope of everyone in the Southern Cyanwood Forest.

Chapter 1070 – Frightening Pressure
"Look over there, isn't that the brat from the Southern Cyanwood Forest? He actually had the courage to challenge the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's deepest region?"
In an instant, a large number of people had left the center of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, which made it so that it would be a lot easier to recognize the people who remained. When a disciple from the Orion Monastery discovered that Chu Feng had stayed, he immediately began to mock and ridicule Chu Feng.
Regardless of what sort of attitude their elders had shown to the Southern Cyanwood Forest, these disciples had looked down upon the Southern Cyanwood Forest from the bottom of their hearts. This sort of despise was deep-rooted. On top of that, Chu Feng had a small skirmish with them earlier. Thus, they would definitely not let the opportunity to mock Chu Feng go by.
"It's truly a disciple from the Southern Cyanwood Forest. He seemed to be the one who had insulted the Black Python Stronghold's chief."
"It had already been many years since someone from the Southern Cyanwood Forest dared to challenge this place. This disciple seemed to be extraordinary."
The people from the Orion Monastery deliberately shouted with very loud voices when they discovered Chu Feng. Thus, this led to the attention of others. Merely, when they discovered Chu Feng, they did not act the same as those from the Orion Monastery. Instead of ridiculing him, they were actually looking forward to his performance.
That was because ever since the matter with the Black Python Stronghold, they had looked up to Chu Feng with a whole new level of respect and felt that he was an extraordinary disciple. Moreover, the skirmish with the Orion Monastery earlier as well as his decision to stay here to challenge this location had brought about even more of a favorable impression and expectations from the surrounding crowd. They did not look down upon or loathe Chu Feng in the slightest.
"Woosh." Right at this moment, from the lotus flower warship, the figure that was standing alongside the old man who had spoken earlier suddenly jumped out from the warship and landed into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh." Following that, the six hundred figures on top of the warship began to jump off of it and land in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond in succession.
Their falling speed was extremely fast. However, they did not bring about any splash of water when they landed into it. It was as if they were one with the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's water to begin with. Gentle yet beautiful, their display had brought about astonishment and exclaim from the crowd.
At this moment, only a single figure remained on the warship. It was the old man who had spoken earlier. He did not jump down to the water. Instead, he looked to the crowd below and said,
"I know that the matters regarding the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle are known among you humans and monstrous beasts. I also know that many people do not believe them to be true and feel that they were merely lies that were created by us, the Ancient Era's Elves."
"However, I am able to tell you all that it is the truth. The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is indeed capable of releasing lightning that would cover the entire sky of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond after being triggered. Moreover, depending on who it is that triggered it, the color of the lightning released would also be different."
"Are they truly all real?"
Hearing those words, the crowd burst into an uproar. Although the matter regarding the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was rumored for many years, there were also people who did not believe in it. For the majority of them, they actually felt that it was fake.
Yet today, the Ancient Era's Elves had confirmed that this matter was true. This caused those people who already believed it to be the truth to believe in it even more and those who did not believe in it to begin with to become skeptical.
At this moment, many people inside the Immortal Pond were getting fired up. Especially Yuan Qing, Qin Guang and others who were confident in themselves. Impatience was written all over their faces. For these people, what they wanted to do was not to win honor for the human race or the monstrous beasts. Instead, they knew that they would become famous if they managed to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle and in turn brighten up their future.
"I know that you all from the human race and the monstrous beast race wish badly to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. I could also tell that some among you have already grown impatient. I am able to tell you all the method of triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. As long as you're able to reach the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and persist in that place for a mere moment, you would be able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle."
"If all three races managed to reach the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, then it would be determined by who would be able to persist in that region for the longest. The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle would be triggered by the person who persists in the deepest region for the longest."
"I have already told you all the method. As for whether you'll be able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, that would all depend on your own abilities. However, I must remind you all that the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's deepest region is not a place that anyone could enter as they please. Many people have died in there."
"Soon, the power from the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond would reach the surface of the water. You all, experience that for yourselves first. See if you're able to persist in that energy for an hour before trying to dive into the water. However, the deeper you reach, the more powerful the power would be. It would be best for you all to assess your own capabilities and act accordingly. Otherwise, if an accident was to happen to you, we, the Ancient Era's Elves, would not take any responsibility." Said that Ancient Era's Elf.
"Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble…"
Not long after that Ancient Era's Elf finished explaining to the crowd, strange sounds started to come from the bottom of where Chu Feng and the others were floating. Soon, a large amount of bubbles started to rush forth from the bottom.
Finally, the bubbles reached the surface of the water. At this moment, at the region of water where Chu Feng and the others were at, the water began to flare up like boiling water.
At this moment, many people began to display expressions of pain. There were even people who hurriedly leaped out of the water, leaving this region of water.
That was because, at this moment, a frightening pressure appeared in that region of water. That pressure was not something that ordinary people could endure. As for that pressure, it was the power from the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond that that Ancient Era's Elf had mentioned.
At this moment, other than a small portion of people who were taking this opportunity to train and not bother with what was going on, the majority of the people were frozen in their original location with their gazes on Chu Feng and the others. They wanted to know exactly how many people would be able to persist under that sort of pressure for an hour as well as who these people were.
Time slowly passed. It appeared to be extremely long and slow. This was especially true to the people inside that region of water. It was simply an enormous torment.
In that sort of condition, there was a continuous flow of people leaving that region of water. Some hurriedly swam out from the center region. Some hurriedly soared to the sky. There were also some who were unable to persist but still stubbornly continued only to end up losing consciousness while puking out foam from their mouths and ended up being saved by others.
Finally, an hour had passed. Of the close to five hundred people that had stayed behind, only twenty-five remained.
Of these twenty-five people, five were monstrous beasts. At the very least, five among them had already turned into their monstrous beast forms. Although their monstrous beast forms were a bit unsightly, it remains that the monstrous beast's true form were their strongest form.
As for the remaining twenty people, ten among them were disciples of the Orion Monastery. This number had reconfirmed to the people that the Orion Monastery was the overlord of this region that possessed an unwavering position.
Other than the disciples of the Orion Monastery, there were ten other people remaining. There were men, women, old and young among these ten people. The youths were from famous families. As for the old ones, they were famous experts. However, there was an exception — Chu Feng.
"That disciple of the Southern Cyanwood Forest actually managed to persevere."
"Inconceivable! No wonder Headmaster Sikong would shield him like so. So it was because that this child is actually extraordinary."
The twenty-five people that managed to persist in the pressure for an hour became the focus of everyone's attention. As for the person who was the main focus of everyone's attention, it was Chu Feng. His status as a disciple of the Southern Cyanwood Forest had brought about shock to the others.
At the very least, at this moment, the number of people discussing Chu Feng had surpassed that of Yuan Qing and Qin Guang. This brought about great displeasure to the disciples of the Orion Monastery. Especially that Yuan Qing and Qin Guang, there were traces of chilliness in their eyes.

Chapter 1071 – Mysterious Life Form
Although Chu Feng and the other twenty-four individuals had become the focus of the crowd and were even thought to be exceptionally talented.
The difference between them and the Ancient Era's Elves was still enormous. That was because of the six hundred people from the Ancient Era's Elves that had entered into the Immortal Pond, not a single one had left the center region. All of them had managed to withstand the frightening pressure from the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"The Ancient Era's Elves are amazing. Not a single one of them have actually left that region of water." Seeing this scene, there were people who appeared to have already anticipated it. However, for others like Wang Wei, they were extremely shocked.
"It is said that the Ancient Era's Elves were born from the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds. While the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds might reject other species, how could they possibly reject these Ancient Era's Elves who were their own offsprings?" Elder Gongsun explained.
"Born from the Ancient Era's Immortal Ponds? Elder Gongsun, what exactly are the true forms of these Ancient Era's Elves?" Asked Wang Wei and the others curiously.
However, Elder Gongsun shook his head when faced with their questions. He said, "That has been a riddle the entire time. There are many theories as to what their true forms are. However, there is no one who could verify whether any of those theories are true."
"Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh."
However, right at this moment, the Ancient Era's Elves flipped their bodies. Like carps, they displayed an elegant arc and entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. With extreme speed, they dove into the pitch-black depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh."
Following them, Yuan Qing, Qin Guang and the others also flipped over and dived into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
However, other than Yuan Qing and Qin Guang, not a single person was able to match up with the speed of the Ancient Era's Elves. There were even people who immediately swam back into the water surface with strenuous expressions right after they dived in.
In the end, of the twenty-five individuals who managed to withstand the pressure on the surface of the water, only twenty of them managed to successfully dive into the water. Slowly, they dove deeper into the water, but soon enough there were people who were unable to withstand the pressure within the water and rushed back into the surface. There were also people who, after diving a certain amount, stopped diving deeper into the water and began to train.
That was because those people had reached their limits. Training in that place would give them a much better result than training on the surface of the water.
At this moment, of the twenty individuals, there were only ten who were able to continue to dive deeper. As for Chu Feng, he was among these ten individuals.
Chu Feng's diving speed wasn't fast, in fact, it was relatively slow. That was because he was able to sense that the pressure within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was indeed extraordinary. The deeper he dove, the greater the pressure became.
Actually, this sort of pressure was nothing much to Chu Feng. He was fully able to speed up his diving. At the very least, he would be able to be faster than Yuan Qing, Qin Guang and even the Ancient Era's Elves.
The reason why he was diving so slow was because he was planning to preserve his physical strength. He planned to gradually allow his body to adapt to the change in pressure. Like that, he would be able to persist in the water for a longer time.
He knew that this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was very deep and that it was still a long way till he would reach the bottom. It was simply not a task that he could try to accomplish quickly. In this sort of place, to gradually dive deeper was a better choice.
As he continued to dive into the water, the people beside Chu Feng began to pull apart from him. They had become incapable of withstanding the pressure within the water. As for Chu Feng, he remained as relaxed as before.
Right now, Chu Feng had already entered into the pitch-black area. Lifting his head, he was no longer able to see the slightest trace of light. This area could truly be said to be pitch-black. Moreover, frightening pressure filled the area. Even though Chu Feng was a cultivator, he was still unable to see anything here.
Fortunately for Chu Feng, he was no ordinary cultivator. In addition to being a cultivator, he was also a World Spiritist. Moreover, Chu Feng was no ordinary World Spiritist, he was a World Spiritist who possessed the Heaven's Eyes.
Thus, when Chu Feng activated his Heaven's Eyes, he was able to see clearly everything within five hundred meters range of his line of sight.
Chu Feng discovered that the region of water that he was currently in ought to be the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. That was because only a small portion of region of water above where he currently was contained that sort of frightening pressure. Moreover, this pressure appeared like a tunnel and did not flow out at all.
However, his surrounding several tens of thousands of meters were filled with that frightening pressure. It truly appeared to be dark and frightening.
However, because Chu Feng had been diving downwards in a straight line the entire time, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was at a place not far from him. This assured him that he had not lost his way.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, Chu Feng's eyes shined. He had actually discovered a special kind of life form within this region of water that did not even have weeds growing in it.
That life form had merely the size of a firefly. However, it was completely transparent. Colorless and odorless, it did not even give off the slightest bit of aura. Had it not been for his Heaven's Eyes, Chu Feng would likely not have discovered this life form either.
At this moment, that life form was floating past Chu Feng. Calm and unhurried, it did not put Chu Feng in its eyes at all.
"Woosh." Catching it off guard, Chu Feng suddenly extended his hand and directly caught that life form in his hand. To Chu Feng's surprise, when he caught that life form in his hand, it turned into a body of energy and, from his palm, entered into his dantian.
"Wow, this little guy actually contained such dense natural energy." At this moment, even Chu Feng displayed expressions of shock. That was because that mysterious life form simply appeared as if it was composed from natural energies. The natural energy contained within that life form greatly surpassed the intensity of the natural energies that was flowing through this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"Hey, there are definitely natural oddities in a bizarre place. With how mysterious this place is, it is not strange to have such kind of life form. Carefully search around, if you are able to find more of them, you might be able to break through to Martial King level." At this moment, even Eggy who was silent for a very long time spoke out.
"Although this life form contains a lot of natural energy, I am already a rank nine Martial Lord. The amount of resources I need in order to break through to Martial King level is truly too frightening. Even if there are more of these life forms, I would still need a frightening amount of them in order to break through." Chu Feng shook his head.
"Why are you thinking so much? Just capture as many of them as there are. Why did you come to this place? Isn't it so that you could train? Or have you come here for the purpose of triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle? What use is there in triggering that useless thing? What sort of benefit would it bring about you?" Said Eggy in a vexed manner.
"Yes, yes yes. I'll do as you bid. Your subordinate would go and search for more right away." Seeing Eggy flipping out on him, Chu Feng did not dare to act melancholy anymore. Instead, with a movement of his body, he began to search everywhere.
To Chu Feng's avail, he had searched in this region of water for close to an hour but only managed to find three such mysterious life forms. In helplessness, Chu Feng had no choice but to continue diving deeper in hope that there would be more such life forms in the deeper region of water.
As Chu Feng had anticipated, after he dived deeper into the water, the amount of mysterious life forms had truly increased. This gave Chu Feng a lot more confidence. If the amount of these mysterious life forms would increase in places with greater pressure, then perhaps there would be enough mysterious life forms in the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond to allow Chu Feng to reach Martial King level.
"Wow, this seemed to the tempo of striking gold."
Suddenly, Chu Feng's eyes shined. He displayed an ecstatic expression. That was because before him was actually a flock of mysterious life forms. A rough estimation would be at least several hundreds of them.
Seeing this, Chu Feng rushed forward. He wanted to refine all of those mysterious life forms.
"Woosh~~~~"
To Chu Feng's surprise, as if they had intelligence, those life forms, upon seeing Chu Feng approaching them, rapidly fled from him and fused together. In the end, they turned into a one meter long fish shaped life form. Like an arrow, the fish dived into the depths of the water. Its speed was so incredibly fast.

Chapter 1072 – Underwater Encounter
"Interesting. But, I will not be letting you all get away."
Although Chu Feng had originally planned to conserve his strength and not waste too much of it in this place as he planned to dive into the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, when faced with this large flock of mysterious life form, how could he possibly let them get away?
Suddenly, a burst of gale appeared underneath Chu Feng's feet. A mysterious set of footsteps appeared in succession. Not only did Chu Feng's speed increase in an instant, his posture was also extremely graceful. It was as if he was a dragon bravely advancing forward with incomparable dominance.
With this sort of speed, Chu Feng gradually grew closer on those mysterious life forms. Suddenly, Chu Feng's speed accelerated once more. He extended his palm and, like lightning, grabbed towards those life forms.
"Hulalala."
But, to Chu Feng's surprise, when he grabbed for them, those life forms actually dispersed in an instant. Moreover, at the instant when they dispersed, their speed also accelerated greatly. In a flash, they had distanced themselves from Chu Feng.
This led to Chu Feng only managing to catch thirty-five mysterious life forms with his grab. These thirty-five mysterious life forms all turned into natural energies and assimilated into Chu Feng's body.
"Buzz." Although he had underestimated those mysterious life forms, Chu Feng had also prepared a backup plan. In such a close distance, a single thought was all it required for Chu Feng to spread out his spirit power. The spirit power turned into a dazzling gold colored wall, completely sealing off the escape of all of those mysterious life forms.
"Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh."
To Chu Feng's surprise, those mysterious life forms had actually disregarded Chu Feng's spirit formation and directly penetrated through them. They were not stopped in the slightest.
"These things are actually able to disregard spirit formations?" Seeing this scene, Chu Feng was greatly surprised. After his surprise, he hurried to chase after them again. Moreover, he even utilized a martial skill.
That martial skill was not an extremely fierce one but its attack power was not weak either. Chu Feng took aim at a single mysterious life form and released his attack toward it. However, when the martial skill hit that mysterious life form, it actually passed through that mysterious life form.
"Amazing. It seems that these things could only be captured with bare hands." At this moment, Chu Feng was not vexed by how thorny these mysterious life forms were. Instead, he had actually displayed an intrigued expression. He felt that the more bizarre these mysterious life forms were, the more extraordinary they were.
Every single time Chu Feng tried to catch these mysterious life forms, they would instantly increase their speed to distance themselves from Chu Feng. In this sort of situation, Chu Feng began a vigorous pursuit with these mysterious life forms. Fortunately, because Chu Feng was not weak, it merely took him a short while to capture all several hundreds of these mysterious life forms. If it was someone else of the same cultivation as Chu Feng, they would've likely already been shaken off by these mysterious life forms.
After this, Chu Feng continued to dive deeper. As he dove deeper, he encountered more and more mysterious life forms. In the end, he even discovered a regular behavior. These mysterious life forms, when they're by themselves, they don't show any intelligence at all. With merely a reach of his hand, he would be able to capture them. They simply did not fear at all.
However, when they were in flocks, not only did they possess intelligence, they also possessed tricks up their sleeves. In short, their escape speed was lightning fast. However, for these mysterious life forms in flocks, not only did they possess natural energies, they even possessed some insight to martial cultivation.
To certain people, this sort of insight was much more precious than natural energies. That was because many people had reached their state of cultivation for a very long time but failed to make a breakthrough every time they tried and that was because they lacked that bit of insight.
The path of cultivation was not a simple task. This was especially true when it comes to the time of breakthrough. It is the most crucial among crucial moments. With a single thought, it would determine success or failure. One couldn't take even half a wrong step when making a breakthrough.
Thus, speaking as a whole, these flocks of mysterious life forms were even more useful. Even though Chu Feng possessed a very high comprehension for cultivation, he did not mind obtaining more insights to cultivation.
At this moment, in a certain place within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond were the silhouettes of two youngsters. The two of them were forming hand seals with their hands. Their eyes were closed. The two of them were currently training. As for these two individuals, they were none other than the Orion Monastery's two geniuses, Yuan Qing and Qin Guang.
"Bubble, bubble…"
The two of them were originally fully concentrated in training. However, they suddenly heard movement in the region of water above them. Thus, the two of them opened their closed eyes together.
At the moment when the two of them opened their eyes, two dazzling lights shined forth from their eyes. It was a special technique that allowed for the two of them to see a bit in this pitch-black darkness.
"That is."
At this moment, expressions of surprise emerged in the eyes of the two. Even though their vision was limited, they were still able to faintly see that someone was rapidly diving downward. The speed of this person was so fast that it had shocked even them.
"It's actually him?" However, when the two of them managed to see clearly who the person was, their expressions took a huge change. That was because they never imagined that the person diving down so rapidly was actually Chu Feng.
Moreover, Chu Feng's movement was extremely strange. He was actually extending his hands and waving them around as if he was catching something. But, there was clearly nothing in the water. Thus, Chu Feng's action appeared like a madman's, it was truly a ridiculous scene.
"Humph, I've originally planned to take care of you after leaving this place. Who would've thought that you would actually come knocking on the door." After being shocked for a moment, intense killing intent suddenly emerged in Yuan Qing's eyes.
The pressure at this region was enormous. The number of people who had died here was not merely a few. Even if they killed Chu Feng, no one would know that it was them who killed Chu Feng. Thus, Yuan Qing who already had ill intent towards Chu Feng immediately decided to make this place the place where Chu Feng would die.
At the moment when he saw Chu Feng, Qin Guang also intuitively realized Yuan Qing's intentions. Secretly, he began to release his aura to stop Chu Feng's movement.
"Scram!"
Who would've thought that Chu Feng did not fear the obstruction of these two individuals at all. Instead, he angrily shouted at them.
The most shocking thing was that Chu Feng suddenly accelerated. Like a flash, he passed right beside the two of them.
"How, how come this brat's speed is this fast?" Both Yuan Qing and Qin Guang were stupefied by the scene before them.
"What are you dazing off for, quickly, chase after him."
Yuan Qing suddenly shouted. Qin Guang was not slow to react either. With an intention, his body began to change. Scales began to appear on his body. Horns of different sizes even appeared on his hands and head. Even his body size became many times larger.
While Qin Guang's size increased, his speed did not decrease. Instead, it increased. His body's movement speed was actually not inferior to Chu Feng's. He was truly chasing after Chu Feng and began to dive deeper.
Seeing Qin Guang and Chu Feng's figures disappearing before his line of sight, Yuan Qing displayed an expression of unease.
He had already declared his intentions to kill Chu Feng earlier. If he failed to kill Chu Feng and Chu Feng were to spread what he did after returning to the surface, it would inevitably affect their reputation.
Unfortunately for him, his endurance was limited. This region of water was already his limit. If he continued to dive deeper, it would bring about dangers to his life.
Thus, he could only place all of his hopes on Qin Guang. That was because Qin Guang was a monstrous beast and one with a special bloodline on top of that. It was said that Qin Guang's monstrous beast clan was one that lived in polluted water. Thus, their monstrous beast clan's appearance was a bit disgusting and frightening. It could be said that they're extremely monstrous; however, their endurance was extremely powerful. Not only were their bodies superb, they would also display their greatest might in the water.
"Strange, the pressure below is something that not even I am able to endure. How did that brat managed to endure it?" Suddenly, Yuan Qing's eyes flashed. An extremely astonished expression appeared on his face.

Chapter 1073 – Who's The Trash?
In the pitch-black deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Two figures were rapidly diving through the water.
Qin Guang, with his enormous body and ugly appearance displayed a extreme speed in the water. Like an enormous sharp sword, his movement gave birth to waves upon waves as he dived into the depths of the water.
As for Chu Feng's diving method, it was completely different from Qin Guang's. If Qin Guang was said to be an Ancient Era's fish, an animal of the sea, and was diving downward like the standard form of the movement of a fish, then Chu Feng's method of diving downward was more like that of an actual cultivator.
Chu Feng's footsteps were extremely fast. With every footstep he took, he would give forth a burst of ripples. After that, his body would rapidly shift forward. Step after step, acceleration after acceleration, he simply does not appear to be diving deeper into the water. Instead, he appeared more like running through the dark horizon. Carefree and natural, graceful and domineering.
However, regardless of what sort of methods the two of them had used to proceed forward, both their speeds were extremely fast. Moreover, there was not much difference between their speeds. This caused Qin Gang to continue maintaining his original distance from Chu Feng. Furthermore, this distance was being slowly increased.
Seeing Chu Feng whose hands were waving back and forth like a madman trying to catch something and completely ignoring him, this caused Qin Quang to become extremely furious. Unable to help himself, he opened his mouth and cursed.
"Southern Cyanwood Forest's trash, if you have the guts, then stop running. Come and fight your daddy!"
"Fucking hell! What the fuck are you trying to catch?! Where the fuck are you planning to run off to?!"
"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?!"
"Fucking dog spawn! You fucking coward! Spineless coward! Wimp! Good for nothing! Do you not even have the courage to answer your daddy?!"
Seeing that Chu Feng was ignoring him and did not even bother to turn his head around, this caused Qin Guang to become more and more furious. The more he cursed, the more intense his curses became.
As one of the very best geniuses of the Orion Monastery, when had he ever been despised by others in such a manner? Moreover, he was currently chasing after Chu Feng to kill him. Yet, not only did this Chu Feng not display the slightest trace of cowardice, he even completely ignored him. All he was doing was continuing those strange movements of his. It truly caused Qin Guang to feel as if he had lost all his face and became unable to tolerate Chu Feng.
Thus, he unwittingly started to increase his speed. He had increased his speed to his limit. However, to his surprise, even though his speed had been increased to the limit, he was still unable to catch up to Chu Feng. The distance between them continued to remain the same.
"Roar! I know now! Trash, you're running with your life to find those Ancient Era's Elves to save you, right?! Trash, look at how useless you are! What happened to the imposingness you displayed when you faced our Orion Monastery's disciples earlier?! What happened to the courage you had shown when you meddle into our business?! When true danger arrives, you become terrified, right?!"
"As expected from a disciple of the Southern Cyanwood Forest. You are indeed a trash among trash. Without that Punishment Elder standing up for you, you are nothing but a coward that only knows about running away."
In extreme helplessness, Qin Guang could only continue to curse out at Chu Feng. Although this appeared like bait, it was actually the only method that he could think of in this situation. That was because he was truly worried, truly worried that Chu Feng would go and find the Ancient Era's Elves for help. In that sort of situation, him being unable to kill Chu Feng would only be a secondary matter. The greater matter would be that he might bring about troubles to himself.
"Woosh." Suddenly, Chu Feng stopped his movement. He stopped diving downward and instead stood there.
Seeing this, Qin Guang also hurriedly stopped his movement. This was because he was caught off guard by Chu Feng's abrupt stop.
He was even a bit bewildered because he had already announced his intentions of killing Chu Feng. He also believed that Chu Feng's purpose in continuing to dive downward was to seek the Ancient Era's Elves for help. Never did he imagine that Chu Feng would suddenly stop.
To his greatest surprise, not only did Chu Feng suddenly stop, he even slowly turned around and spoke with a interrogating tone, "What did you say earlier? If you have the balls, say it again."
"You…"
Faced with Chu Feng's sudden questioning, his non-frightened expression and his slightly angered gaze, Qin Guang's heart shivered. He was unable to help himself from feeling a bit nervous.
He was unable to make heads or tails of this sort of sensation. That was because there was no reason for him to fear Chu Feng. Thus, he clenched his teeth and, with a mocking expression, said.
"Fuck… are you trying to scare me?"
"Let me tell you, your daddy here does not fear you. Not to mention saying it again, your daddy would even dare to say it a hundred more times for you. You are fucking trash, you got that?"
"Woosh." Right after Qin Guang's words left his mouth, Chu Feng's expression took a huge change. At the same time, he suddenly moved. Light flickered under his foot. Like a flash of light, Chu Feng was shot forth. In merely an instant, he arrived before Qin Guang with his palm stretched forward. Like an eagle's claw, he grabbed toward Qin Guang's neck.
"This guy…"
Qin Guang did not expect Chu Feng's sudden attack at all. Especially the strength behind Chu Feng's attack, it contained the aura of fatality.
In an instant, Qin Guang started to panic. His expression changed greatly. That was because he never imagined that Chu Feng, a mere rank nine Martial Lord, would actually attack him, a rank two Martial King. Moreover, his attack contained such frightening killing power.
Although he was shocked, Qin Guang was no ordinary fellow. Thus, upon seeing that the situation wasn't good, the scales that covered Qin Guang's body suddenly extended forth. A frantic force of impulse released from the pores of his body.
This impulse force was extremely powerful. Not only did it push his body backwards in a dash, it also shot toward Chu Feng. That was a special escaping technique belonging to the race that Qin Guang belonged to.
However, even with this, Chu Feng's speed did not slow down in the slightest. Even as that impulse force wreaked havoc on his body, causing his long hair to violently dance in the water and his clothes to echo as they're blown back and forth, he continued to charge toward Qin Guang like an unstoppable God of War.
In the end, the two came into contact. Like a sharp blade, Chu Feng's palm was pierced into Qin Guang's neck with a 'puchi' sound.
"Wuuwaa~~~"
Having his neck penetrated caused Qin Guang to howl in pain. At this moment, shock, disbelief, panic and regret filled his eyes. Even his enormous body began to shiver.
That was because, at this moment, he finally realized why Chu Feng did not fear him. It turned out that Chu Feng actually possessed strength above his own. However, before this, never would he ever imagine that a trash from the Southern Cyanwood Forest would possess such powerful strength; so powerful that he did not even have the strength to fight back.
Sensing the energy emitted from Chu Feng's palm entering into the various regions of his body like snakes, sealing off all of his power, and was about to kill him, Qin Guang gave in to despair.
He was unable to contend against Chu Feng. If this continues, he would only die. Without even having the chance to fight back, he would die in Chu Feng's hands.
"Now, you ought to know who's the trash, right?" Seeing the enormous sized Qin Guang who had loudly cursed out at him earlier appearing like a chicken within his palm with eyes filled with fear, the corners of Chu Feng's lips raised into a mocking smile.
"Paa." Suddenly, Chu Feng clenched his palm. A loud 'bang' was heard. Qin Guang's enormous body exploded on the spot. Blood and broken limbs fluttered everywhere like a storm of pear flowers.

Chapter 1074 – The Reason To Kill You
"Woosh." Right at the moment when the blood and flesh spread through everywhere, a faint blue light explosively shot out like an arrow leaving a bow. It rapidly flew deeper into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"Not good." Chu Feng was caught off guard. Without daring to hesitate, he moved his body and rapidly chased after that blue light.
That was because that blue light was Qin Guang's consciousness. Chu Feng did not know what sort of method Qin Guang used; not only did his consciousness manage to escape Chu Feng's attack, it even caught him off guard and escaped.
At this moment, Qin Guang's consciousness was dashing downward following the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. It was clear that he was trying to cry for help to the Ancient Era's Elves. If the Ancient Era's Elves were to believe what he would tell them, then, according to the rules established by them, Chu Feng would definitely be killed.
In this sort of situation, how could Chu Feng possibly dare to hesitate. That was because this not only concerned his own life and death, it might even implicate everyone from the Southern Cyanwood Forest.
In panic, Chu Feng activated his Thunder Armor, increasing his strength to rank one Martial King. Moreover, he also used the Azure Dragon Dashing Technique. He was going all out on chasing after Qin Guang's consciousness.
However, Chu Feng still underestimated Qin Guang. While Qin Guang's strength was merely that of a rank two Martial King and his speed was inferior to Chu Feng's when his physical body was still present, after he lost his body and turned into a consciousness, not only did his speed not decrease, it actually increased. At the very least, his current speed was pretty incredible. Even the current Chu Feng could only keep up with him and slowly close in on him. It was very difficult for Chu Feng to overtake him rapidly.
This caused Chu Feng to become worried. That was because they had been diving deeper into the water for a very long time now. Even if it was still some distance before they reached the far depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, it would likely not be far. If this continued, it would be very likely for them to encounter the Ancient Era's Elves, and if that happened, then the situation would be extremely bad for Chu Feng.
As the saying goes, the more one worried, the sooner the worry arrives. At the moment when Chu Feng hoped that they would not run into the Ancient Era's Elves, before he managed to capture Qin Guang's consciousness, several tens of figures suddenly appeared before him.
Those several tens of figures were all wearing green cloaks. Without thinking much about it, they were definitely the Ancient Era's Elves.
Seeing those figures, Chu Feng hurriedly stopped his movement. He did not dare to chase further anymore. As for Qin Guang, he appeared as if he had seen his savior and loudly shouted, "Help! Save me! Southern Cyanwood Forest's disciple Chu Feng is trying to kill me!"
Qin Guang was extremely sharp. He did not blindly shout. Instead, he directly declared Chu Feng's name, allowing the Ancient Era's Elves to instantly know who it was that was planning to harm him.
At this moment, those several tens of Ancient Era's Elves were originally training with their eyes closed. After they heard the shout from Qin Guang, they opened their eyes and turned up to look. Their eyes were shining; it was evident that they had a special method to see in this pitch darkness.
Everything happened too suddenly. However, because their distance was limited, the Ancient Era's Elves were able to see Chu Feng much like how he was able to see them.
At this moment, Chu Feng stopped. He did not rush to escape. That was because his appearance was already seen. It was already useless for him to try to escape at this time.
"Save me! Save me! That guy is trying to kill me! He's a disciple of the Southern Cyanwood Forest! His name is Chu Feng!" Qin Guang had arrived before the Ancient Era's Elves.
The current him did not have the appearance of a human. Instead, he had the form of a monstrous beast. However, his current appearance was different from his monstrous beast form before; his monstrous beast form was only human-sized.
Thus, although he appeared to be ugly, he also appeared to be weak and ridiculous looking. The domineering and imposing appearance that he displayed before had completely disappeared. Especially when he was crying for help at the Ancient Era's Elves, he appeared somewhat pathetic.
After the Ancient Era's Elves saw Qin Guang, they did not have a great reaction. Instead, they calmly said, "Exactly what happened? We cannot listen to merely your words. That person standing up there, come on down. Both of you, tell us exactly what has happened. We shall determine who is in the right and who is wrong."
Upon hearing what the Ancient Era's Elves said, Chu Feng frowned. An alerted shine flashed through his eyes. That was because he felt that the reaction of the Ancient Era's Elves was a bit too calm, so calm that it appeared strange.
However, regardless, Chu Feng still complied with them. With a movement of his body, he dived deeper.
The reason why Chu Feng did not escape was because he did not wish to implicate others. As for why he dared to not escape, that was because he had a degree of certainty in being able to defend himself.
Thus, even though there were several tens of Ancient Era's Elves, Chu Feng guessed that they ought to be from the younger generation. Since they stopped to train at such a level, it meant that they did not have the strength to dive deeper.
These two points displayed a single issue. That is, even if these Ancient Era's Elves were very powerful, they would not be too powerful. At the very least, they would not be overly powerful that Chu Feng could not handle them. Thus, Chu Feng wanted to see exactly how these Ancient Era's Elves planned to handle this matter.
"Lords, what I said is absolutely true. There is not a single lie to my word. This brat is a disciple from the Southern Cyanwood Forest. He is envious that our Orion Monastery's strength is greater than their Southern Cyanwood Forest's. Thus, he loathed us and decided to sneak attack me while I was training."
"Look at me, I currently do not even have my physical body anymore. It is all because of him. Please, Lords, uphold justice for me." Explained Qin Guang.
"Oh, your physical body is completely gone. Why are you even bothering to live then? It's better off that you die, no?" However, to his surprise, an Ancient Era's Elf before him suddenly extended his hand and directly grabbed onto his head. A powerful martial energy, like a net, completely bounded Qin Guang's consciousness.
At this moment, the aura of that Ancient Era's Elf was displayed. Rank three Martial King. This Ancient Era's Elf was a rank three Martial King. Moreover, his battle power was extraordinary.
"What…what are you planning to do?" Seeing this scene, Qin Guang was immediately stupefied. Even a fool could tell that this situation was bad.
"Remember this, the Ancient Era's Elves would not permit other life forms to dive to this depth of water. That is because the energy from this place is not something that you all are worthy of enjoying." After finishing saying those words, that Ancient Era's Elf's hand vibrated. A loud 'bang' was heard. Qin Guang's consciousness had been shattered. He had been killed by that Ancient Era's Elf.
Seeing this scene, Chu Feng's expression changed. At this moment, he realized why so many geniuses disappeared in the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. It turned out that it was not simply because they couldn't withstand the pressure, there was also a man-made cause. No, it's not man-made, it was instead the doings of the Ancient Era's Elves.
"It's your turn next." After killing Qin Guang, that Ancient Era's Elf cast his gaze toward Chu Feng. At the same time, the other Ancient Era's Elves had already surrounded Chu Feng. They were afraid that Chu Feng would flee.
However, to those Ancient Era's Elves' surprise, even though he saw Qin Guang being killed and knew that he would not be able to escape, Chu Feng did not have the slightest trace of panic on his face. Instead, the corners of his mouth even curved into a faint smile.
Chu Feng's smile became wider and wider. In the end, Chu Feng actually burst into a loud laughter. Moreover, his laughter became louder and louder.
"What are you laughing at?" The Ancient Era's Elves were puzzled by Chu Feng's reaction.
"Originally, I was hesitant as to whether to silence you all. After all, there is neither grievances or hatred between us. However, it seems now that I could set my mind at ease and do it." Chu Feng stopped laughing. However, a trace of chilliness appeared in his still squinted eyes.
"What do you mean?" The Ancient Era's Elves were even more shocked upon hearing Chu Feng's words. Most importantly, at the time when Chu Feng said those words, they, for some unknown reason, actually felt a chill. This caused them to subconsciously feel that the situation was not good.
"Buzz." Right at this moment, Chu Feng turned his wrist around. A flicker of light appeared in his palm. The King of Royal Armaments, Demon Sealing Sword, appeared in his hand.
Once the Demon Sealing Sword appeared, the ocean turning change instantly appeared. The peaceful water began to revolve around Chu Feng like violent dragons. The powerful might dispersed the Ancient Era's Elves that surrounded Chu Feng.
At this moment, Chu Feng finally spoke. With a smile on his face and an ice-cold gaze, he looked to the Ancient Era's Elves and said, "You all have given me a reason to kill you."

Chapter 1075 – Killing the Ancient Era's Elves
"What? You, you want to kill us?" After hearing what Chu Feng said, all of the Ancient Era's Elves were greatly shocked.
What sort of status and position did the Ancient Era's Elves hold in the Holy Land of Martialism? Even the strongest powers from the human race and the monstrous beasts race did not dare to casually offend them. It had only been them killing others and never others doing anything to them. If anyone dared, they would simply be courting death.
However, at this moment, this person from the same generation as them, someone from the Southern Cyanwood Forest, a declining power, actually wanted to kill them. This was simply unacceptable to them. They even suspected that they had misheard him.
What does it mean by possessing great ambitions and great courage? For these Ancient Era's Elves, those who dared to do anything to them were people who possessed great ambitions and great courage. At the same time, they were also people who had grown tired of living.
"Woosh. Woosh. Woosh…"
Right at the moment when they were unceasingly shocked by Chu Feng, Chu Feng suddenly attacked. The Demon Sealing Sword was swung around by Chu Feng. Numerous blade rays that contained frightening power were shot out.
As the numerous crescent shaped, black colored blade rays were shot forth, the Demon Sealing Sword in Chu Feng's hand instantly turned into a ruthless and frightening murder weapon. In merely a blink of an eye, close to half of the several tens of Ancient Era's Elves died in Chu Feng's hand. Not only were both their bodies and consciousness exterminated completely by him, even their source energies had been absorbed. They could be said to have died completely.
"So you all are merely this strong. For you to be able to reach this deep, it ought to be from the help of your special bloodline, right?" After killing those Ancient Era's Elves, a mocking expression appeared in Chu Feng's eyes.
That was because Chu Feng discovered that these Ancient Era's Elves were not as powerful as he imagined them to be. Other than the one who killed Qin Guang earlier being a rank three Martial King, the majority of them were merely rank two or rank one Martial Kings. There was even a portion with the same cultivation as Chu Feng – at the peak Martial Lord rank.
Having been in existence since the Ancient Era, possessing a special bloodline and able to bask in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond every day. Yet, they only possessed such strength. It truly seemed weak.
As for their battle power, it was also not strong. It was so much so that other than that rank three Marital King, the majority of the rest of them would not be a match for Qin Guang. Thus, Chu Feng felt that the reason why these Ancient Era's Elves were able to dive to this deep level of water was all because of the assistance from their special bloodlines. If their background was disregarded and one was to determine them by their true martial cultivation talent, they would not be considered that strong.
"What immense nerves you have! Not only do you dare to kill us, the Ancient Era's Elves, you even dare to speak words of insult toward us. I shall execute you!"
Chu Feng's speech and actions had brought forth the violent rage of the Ancient Era's Elves. Under the leadership of that rank three Martial King, the remaining Ancient Era's Elves began to take out their respective Royal Armaments and emit their ferocious martial power to create a powerful formation as they surrounded Chu Feng once more.
"Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh."
At this time, the first true attack from the Ancient Era's Elves were launched toward Chu Feng. The dazzling blade rays appeared like a large net that carried along it the wind of death as it was cast toward Chu Feng. Their purpose—Chu Feng's life.
This sort of attack could truly be said to be extraordinary. At the very least, an ordinary rank one Martial King would simply be incapable of withstanding it. Unfortunately for them, the person they were facing was no ordinary rank one Martial King. Instead, he was Chu Feng, a genius from the Outer World. Regardless of whether it was his talent or his battle power, they were both above their own.
"Swoosh."
The Demon Sealing Sword in Chu Feng's hand was suddenly waved, causing the region of water to surge. The king level martial power contained within this wave completely controlled everything in this place.
In the end, Chu Feng suddenly pointed his Demon Sealing Sword forward. "Boom!" The attack formation created by the Ancient Era's Elves was smashed apart. Chu Feng used merely a single strike to break their attack.
Moreover, this strike from Chu Feng not only crumbled their attack, it also caused the majority of the Ancient Era's Elves' bodies to explode, dying on the spot.
At this moment, only a single Ancient Era's Elf remained alive. He was that rank three Martial King who killed Qin Guang earlier. However, even he was completely covered in blood and seriously injured.
"Woosh." Seeing that the situation was truly bad, that Ancient Era's Elf immediately turned around and used a special sort of movement martial skill to try to escape into the depths of the water.
"You wish to leave? Ha, Ancient Era's Elves, the controller of this place, it would appear that you're merely this powerful." However, who would've thought that right after that Ancient Era's Elf used his movement martial skill to try to escape, an enormous Azure Dragon rapidly dashed through the water and appeared before him, sealing off his escape route. Furthermore, standing on top of that Azure Dragon was none other than Chu Feng.
"This, this is a secret skill!!!"
"Who, who, who exactly are you? You're merely a rank one Martial King, how could you possibly possess this sort of strength? Who exactly are you? What exactly are your intentions? What sort of deep hatred and grievances do us Ancient Era's Elves have against you for you to attack us like this?"
Seeing Chu Feng standing on the Azure Dragon and holding the Demon Sealing Sword in his hand, that Ancient Era's Elf started to panic. Not only was his body trembling, even the high quality Royal Armament forged by an expert Ancient Era's Elf in his hand was trembling.
In this situation, the arrogance he displayed earlier was completely gone. What replaced it was fear and panic. That was because not only did he sense that the situation for him was extremely bad, he even sensed that Chu Feng's battle power was extremely abnormal.
Thus, he felt that Chu Feng was definitely not as simple as he looked. He guessed that Chu Feng was definitely an expert cultivator who had changed his appearance, hidden his true cultivation and come specially to kill them.
"Yoh, so you know about fear too?" Chu Feng light smiled. Holding the Demon Sealing Sword in his hand, he stepped off the Azure Dragon and began to walk on the water. One step at a time, he slowly approached that Ancient Era's Elf.
"What, what, what are you planning to do?" Seeing that Chu Feng was growing closer to him and that his surrounding was sealed off by the enormous body of that Azure Dragon, the Ancient Era's Elf was panicking to the max. In his eyes, the person who was approaching him was not a human. Instead, he appeared more like a smiling yet incomparably cruel and vicious demon.
"I'm not going to do anything. I merely want to see exactly what sort of appearance that you all, the treacherous and cunning Ancient Era's Elves, have." Suddenly, Chu Feng extended his hand and grabbed that Ancient Era's Elf's green cloak. With a large wave of his sleeve, he grabbed off the green cloak.
At this moment, the true appearance of that Ancient Era's Elf appeared before Chu Feng.
His statue was relatively thin. However, he was pretty tall. With fair skin like a woman's, it was so white that it appeared to be pale. As for his blond hair, it was dazzlingly bright. The most important was that pair of green eyes and refined facial features. This Ancient Era's Elf was actually even more pretty than the pretty boy Yuan Qing.
Judging externally, other than the color of his hair and eyes being different from humans, there were no other major differences between Ancient Era's Elves and humans. If a difference must be determined, then it would be his ears. His ears were actually pointed.
"Yoh, with this appearance, you truly appear to be from a noble race."
Upon seeing the actual appearance of this Ancient Era's Elf, even Chu Feng's eyes shined. Judging from only external appearance, the Ancient Era's Elves were truly extraordinary and possessed unique temperament that ordinary humans did not have.

Chapter 1076 – Ancient Era's Formation
However, this Ancient Era's Elf before him did not leave any favorable impression to Chu Feng. Especially his frightened expression and shivering body, it gave Chu Feng a feeling that regardless of how noble a race might be, they still possessed the same characteristic of ordinary martial cultivators — bullying the good and fearing the evil.
Thus, Chu Feng abruptly waved the Demon Sealing Sword in his hand. "Puchi." That Ancient Era's Elf died in Chu Feng's hand.
"Regardless of how beautiful your external appearance might be, it would not be able to mask the ugliness of your heart. A person like you ought to be killed."
After beheading that Ancient Era's Elf, Chu Feng said these words. There was not a slightest trace of emotion on his calm face. It was as if he did not take note of the fact that he had just killed several tens of lives.
After that, Chu Feng did some cleanup of the battlefield. When he determined that there was not a trace of the battle left, Chu Feng cleaned the green cloak that he snatched off from that Ancient Era's Elf. When he determined that there was not a single bloodstain on the cloak, Chu Feng draped it over himself. Then, using a medicinal pellet that changed his appearance, he changed the colors of his eyes to green. Only then did he start to dive deeper again.
After experiencing what happened earlier, Chu Feng's impression of the Ancient Era's Elves took a huge turn. He discovered that the Ancient Era's Elves, for the purpose of possessing the privilege to be the only ones capable of triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, had actually killed all of the other races that managed to reach the depths of the Immortal Pond.
This sort of behavior appeared to lack any sense of shame and anger. Moreover, this sort of behavior gave Chu Feng an even firmer determination to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. He planned to purposely attack the arrogant yet immortal airs of the Ancient Era's Elves.
But, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, Chu Feng decided to disguise himself as an Ancient Era's Elf. That was because he knew there were at least another five hundred plus Ancient Era's Elves within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. He was unable to determine whether there might be someone more powerful than him among those Ancient Era's Elves.
Thus, as Chu Feng unhurriedly dived deeper into the water wearing the green cloak, he encountered Ancient Era's Elves in groups of three to five and even several tens training at various levels of water.
When these Ancient Era's Elves noticed Chu Feng, they merely took a quick and indifferent glance at him before closing their eyes and continuing to train. The majority of them did not even bother to greet Chu Feng.
Seeing that they did not attack him, Chu Feng did not bother to collide with them either. Instead, he continued to dive deeper. Merely, when Chu Feng began to dive deeper, those Ancient Era's Elves would always open their eyes and glance at him again.
Moreover, this time around, their gazes were filled with a bit of admiration and even envy.
Under this sort of condition, Chu Feng continued to dive deeper and deeper. In the end, even he began to feel a certain degree of pressure. Although the pressure wasn't weak, it was still within Chu Feng's range of tolerance. However, he must admit that the pressure at this depth in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was definitely something that an ordinary individual would not be able to withstand.
Finally, another group of Ancient Era's Elves appeared before Chu Feng. The number of Ancient Era's Elves in this group was very few, being only nine. Based on Chu Feng's calculation from the amount of Ancient Era's Elves he had seen, these nine Ancient Era's Elves ought to be the final nine of the Ancient Era's Elves that had entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond this time.
No, they should be nine of the final ten Ancient Era's Elves. If Chu Feng's guess was correct, there should be another Ancient Era's Elf that he had yet to meet.
"Mn, you're actually able to reach this deep? You should be A'lun, right?" Upon seeing Chu Feng, those nine Ancient Era's Elves simultaneously opened their eyes. Contained within the gazes that they looked to Chu Feng with was surprise.
Seeing this, Chu Feng did not deny his identity. However, he also did not respond to them. All he did was nod in silence.
"A'lun, you're indeed a genius among the younger generations. You actually managed to reach this deep with your age; if you train for a couple more years, you might be able to reach the deepest region and trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle." Said a man in the group of nine with a slightly teasing tone.
"A'lun is indeed a rare genius in these past years in our Southern Domain. Unfortunately, the true genius is currently triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle at the deepest region." Suddenly, a somewhat flirtatious looking female spoke.
"Sigh, that's right. Compared to that individual, we truly appear too ordinary. Even though we're from the same generation, he is truly frighteningly powerful." At this moment, the other eight Ancient Era's Elves all expressed their agreement. Seeing this, Chu Feng also nodded his head.
Chu Feng was already able to tell that the person that they spoke of ought to be the final Ancient Era's Elf in this place. Merely, Chu Feng never imagined that the final Ancient Era's Elf would truly be in the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Moreover, judging from the tone of these Ancient Era's Elves, he appeared to have an extremely revered existence.
As the situation stands, since the Ancient Era's Elves were discussing about that genius, Chu Feng decided to seize the opportunity to learn a bit about that genius so that he would be mentally prepared. Thus, Chu Feng did not leave and instead stayed in this place to continue to listen to their conversations.
"How could we possibly compare to him? After all, he's a genius from the kingdom. Even in the kingdom, he is one of the very best in our generation. How could we possibly compare to him?"
"With him here, this year, our Southern Domain's Ancient Era's Immortal Needle ought to be able to be triggered again."
"That's of course. Unless there are humans or monstrous beasts who are able to reach the deepest region, that area with the extremely frightening pressure, and persist in there for a longer time than Lord Xian Kun, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is definitely going to be triggered by Lord Xian Kun."
"Haha, in that case, there should be no issue then. After all, the humans and monstrous beasts simply do not possess the strength to reach the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. No, it ought to be said that since the ancient times to this day, there has never been a human or monstrous beast capable of reaching the bottom."
"Hahahaha…" Suddenly, the nine Ancient Era's Elves burst into a loud laughter. Contained within their laughter was some excitement and the mocking of humans and monstrous beasts.
At this moment, Chu Feng had gathered enough information. Firstly, he knew that the final Ancient Era's Elf's name was Xian Kun. He ought to not be an Ancient Era's Elf from this region but had instead come from a very powerful location.
Moreover, if Chu Feng's guess was correct, he ought to have already reached the deepest region, the bottom, of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. If there were no other races capable of reaching the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle would likely be triggered by him.
After analyzing the situation, Chu Feng did not dare to stay any longer. With a movement of his body, he began to leave. However, he did not dive deeper and instead flew upwards.
"A'lun, you're unable to resist the pressure already?"
"It would appear that you're too young still. However, have no fret, after training for a year or two, you would definitely be able to train in this level of water." Seeing that Chu Feng was leaving, several teasing voices sounded from those nine Ancient Era's Elves.
However, who among them would possibly know that the reason why Chu Feng was swimming upwards was because he did not want to alert them.
After leaving the line of sight of these nine Ancient Era's Elves, Chu Feng revolved around them and began to dive deeper once more. Chu Feng's speed also was extremely fast because he had a very clear target in his mind now – the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
Finally, ahead of Chu Feng was no longer a pitch-black darkness. Gradually, his sight began to become clear. He was already able to faintly see that below him was no longer boundless water. Instead, rocks and soil had appeared. Chu Feng knew that this was most definitely the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"This is…"
Chu Feng slowly dived downward. He was extremely cautious. However, before he came into contact with the soil and rocks at the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, he already felt an attractive force swarming around his body. After that, this attractive force began to absorb Chu Feng's power.
However, at the moment when Chu Feng's power was being absorbed, an even more intense power was channeling into Chu Feng's body, compensating for the power that was being absorbed.
This sort of situation could be said to be miraculous. However, it also brought about fear to Chu Feng. After all, that attractive force came too suddenly. Yet, after he carefully examined the surrounding, all he saw was the ordinary soil and rocks.
In this helpless situation, Chu Feng had no choice but to activate his Heaven's Eyes once more. He wished to determine exactly what was happening. Without looking with his Heaven's Eyes, he would have no idea what was going on. However, once he looked with it, he immediately understood what was happening.
It turned out that above the soil and rocks were numerous, faintly discernible and hard to detect bodies of light. Within the bodies of light flowed countless complicated patterns and symbols.
Moreover, the amount of such bodies of light was innumerable. These bodies of light interweaved with one another and formed an enormous and boundless net that covered the entire bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
That ought to be a formation from the Ancient Era. A formation that contained enormous power but was very hard to detect. Exactly why did such a formation exist in this place? However, Chu Feng knew that this enormous formation ought to be related to the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle and might even be related to the entire Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.

Chapter 1077 – Fighting From the Shadows
"Interesting."
"The lights contain symbols and runes that interlink with one another."
"This sort of formation ought to be extremely powerful. It's definitely not something an ordinary world spiritist could deploy."
"If my guess is correct, even with you using your Heaven's Eyes, you are likely only able to see the shallow appearance of this formation; it is simply impossible for you to see its true outline. Perhaps the energy within this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond is actually not natural but instead man-made." At this moment, Eggy who had been silent for a very long time spoke out.
"Man-made? Eggy, are you implying that it is this Ancient Era's formation that bestows such dense natural energy and insights in cultivation to the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond?" Chu Feng asked.
"It's merely a guess. Although it is the first time that I've seen such a formation, your Lady Queen's knowledge is much more abundant to yours. She has also heard about a lot of things in the past. If my guess is correct, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is one with this formation. Moreover, the value of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle ought to not be inferior to this formation." Said Eggy.
"If everything in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond is truly bestowed by the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle and this formation, then regardless of who it was that left such a formation behind, that person would be an existence worthy of reverence." After thinking about the person who left this formation behind, Chu Feng displayed an expression of reverence.
"Heh, since this formation has a reaction to you, it means that you already possess the qualifications to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. As long as you continue to stay here, this formation will eventually be triggered by you."
"However, it is not only you at this location right now. There's still a little elf here. What do you plan to do about him? Do you plan to play a war of attrition with him or do you want to take the initiative and attack him?" Asked Eggy.
"Know yourself, know your enemy; only through that would one be able to emerge victorious in every battle. If I am stronger than him, I would naturally be able to handle him. If I am weaker than him, then I could only continue this battle of attrition. Regardless, I am in the shadows whereas he's in the light; I possess the absolute power of initiation." Chu Feng's lips raised into a deep curve.
"Heh, not bad. More and more, you now have the demeanor of your Lady Queen." Eggy's lips also raised into a curve.
Master and servant, they seemed to have the same idea…
After that, Chu Feng hid his aura and cautiously proceeded toward the direction of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. That was because he suspected that Ancient Era's Elf was likely in the vicinity of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
Sure enough, after Chu Feng approached the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, he discovered that a figure was sitting beside it. His clothing was indeed that of the Ancient Era's Elves'.
However, this Ancient Era's Elf was slightly different from the others. That was because he discovered that there was a special symbol on his chest.
That symbol was not easy to detect. However, Chu Feng was able to tell that that symbol was created with a special material. Moreover, it ought to have an extraordinary significance. Due to the fact that the special symbol only appeared on this Ancient Era's Elf's body, Chu Feng felt that this special symbol might signify the origination of this Ancient Era's Elf, the so-called 'kingdom' that the other Ancient Era's Elves spoke of.
However, a matter surprised Chu Feng – the cultivation of this Ancient Era's Elf. He was training, but he was not calmly sitting on the water like the other Ancient Era's Elves.
His training method was quite extraordinary. Not only was his body emitting a faint glimmer, there was also a majestic martial power moving about the water around him. It was as if there were white dragons revolving around him.
An extremely divine imposingness that not even ten thousand individuals could withstand was being emitted from his body. It was truly majestic and extraordinary.
"This guy's extremely powerful." Chu Feng frowned. A serious expression flashed through his eyes.
His opponent did not hide his aura. Thus, Chu Feng was able to sense that his opponent was a rank five Martial King. To possess such a cultivation in his generation, it would not be excessive to call him a genius.
However, what surprised Chu Feng the most was not his cultivation. Instead, it was his extraordinarily tyrannical aura. The number of people who possessed that sort of aura was not numerous. However, all those who did possess that sort of aura were extraordinary existences.
Chu Feng, Tantai Xue, Jiang Qisha and his martial brothers all possessed this sort of aura. It signified that their battle power was extraordinary. This man before him could truly be classified as a genius.
"What he is using may not be the strength of his bloodline and instead a Mysterious Technique. Such a powerful Mysterious Technique, I reckon it should be a Forbidden Mysterious Technique. Moreover, it ought to be an extremely high quality Forbidden Mysterious Technique."
"Chu Feng, this fellow is not easy to handle. In my opinion, he is much stronger than Jiang Qisha." Said Eggy in a laughingly manner.
"Right. It seems that the Ancient Era's Elves are indeed no small matter. At the very least, the current me is no match for that one." Chu Feng nodded. He also had a new perception of the Ancient Era's Immortal Elves. It was the first time he realized that the Ancient Era's Immortal Elves were a frightening power.
For Jiang Qisha and his martial brothers, even without mentioning their cultivation, they already possessed battle power that surpassed those from the same cultivation. This signified that they're geniuses. The reputation of the Cursed Soil Seven 1 could be deemed as well-deserved. As for Jiang Qisha, although he was not the strongest of the Cursed Soil Seven, he should not be the weakest among them either.
Regardless of how powerful he would've become in the future; he was an existence that would be on the top of the colossal Cursed Soil Sect.
And now, before Chu Feng, was a genius from the Ancient Era's Elves' Kingdom. This genius's strength was actually above that of Jiang Qisha's. This was sufficient to display how powerful the Ancient Era's Elves were. At the very least, they were not inferior to the Cursed Soil Sect.
However, in Chu Feng's opinion, even if the Ancient Era's Elves were inferior to their golden age ten thousand years ago, they should still have a very strong and robust background. Not to mention the Cursed Soil Sect, one of the Nine Powers, was likely even the Three Palaces and Four Clans would only be able to share the limelight alongside the Ancient Era's Elves.
"What's the plan now?" Eggy asked.
"Endure. What else could we do?" Chu Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. With the strength his opponent possessed, Chu Feng truly had no method of winning in a battle. However, he also did not bother to foolishly wait in this place. Instead, he turned his body around and began to linger around the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
That was because at the moment when Chu Feng arrived at the bottom, other than the Ancient Era's formation that caught Chu Feng's attention, there was another thing that caught his attention – the mysterious life forms. There was a frightening amount of mysterious life forms in this place. If Chu Feng was able to capture all of the mysterious life forms here, he might be able to break through to the Martial King level.
In this sort of situation, Chu Feng began to frantically capture the mysterious life forms. His dantian, that was extremely deficient in martial power, began to continuously grow fuller. However, Chu Feng would also occasionally stealthily approach the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle to inspect the situation of that Ancient Era's Elf.
A day ago, that Ancient Era's Elf did not have any reactions at all. He appeared to be extremely tranquil. While using his Mysterious Technique, he was also absorbing the natural energy in this place. It was an extremely joyful cultivation for him.
However, after a day passed, he was unable to continue sitting and would approach the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle from time to time to either knock on it or listen to it. He had begun to use all sorts of methods to try to examine the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
When the second day arrived, he became somewhat anxious. He was no longer in the mood to train anymore. Instead, with his hands behind his back, he began to rapidly revolve around the Ancient Era's Immortal needle. He even began to murmur to himself.
Upon hearing what he had said, both Chu Feng and Eggy were unable to help themselves from stealthily laughing. It turned out that normally staying in the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond for sixteen hours was sufficient to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. If one stayed for twenty-four hours, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle would definitely be triggered.
Yet now, two days, a total of forty-eight hours, had passed. Yet, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was not triggered. This naturally greatly puzzled that Ancient Era's Elf.
However, Chu Feng knew the reason why this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle had yet to trigger. That was because there was more than just that Ancient Era's Elf in the bottom of this Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Other than him, there was also Chu Feng.

Chapter 1078 – 1
"It would appear that I need to be more careful." As Chu Feng watched the Ancient Era's Elf by the name of Xian Kun nearly being driven mad, he not only stealthily laughed, he also raised alarm in his heart.
Chu Feng felt that this Ancient Era's Elf was no fool. As forty-eight hours had already passed, this greatly surpassed the amount of time required to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Yet, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was still not triggered. This meant that there was only a single cause – that other than him, there was someone else at this place.
Thus, Chu Feng felt that this Ancient Era's Elf might soon begin to frantically search all over the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond to find exactly who it was that meddled in his deed.
His opponent's cultivation was a rank five Martial King and, as a genius of the Ancient Era's Elves, ought to contain many secret techniques.
Thus, even though they couldn't use spirit power in this place, Chu Feng must still carefully hide himself. Otherwise, if he was to be discovered by his opponent, then, with his opponent's strength, Chu Feng would likely die.
Likely, Chu Feng would be faced with an extremely dangerous situation. That was because even he was unable to ascertain whether that Ancient Era's Elf would be able to discover him in this place.
However, for the purpose of triggering this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle and smear on the face of the Ancient Era's Elves while winning honor for the human race, Chu Feng insisted on staying here.
Chu Feng chose a place to hide himself. Using his strongest concealing technique, he hid himself. After that, he ceased all movement.
Time slowly passed. Even Chu Feng felt the situation a bit unendurable. That was because he did not know when that Ancient Era's Elf by the name of Xian Kun might appear before him and inspect the surroundings using a powerful method.
However, to Chu Feng's surprise, after several hours had passed, that Xian Kun still had not appeared. This caused Chu Feng to become puzzled. After his confusion, he decided to put his all into the fight and take the initiative to that Xian Kun to see exactly what he was planning to do.
When he arrived at the Ancient Era's Immortal needle, Chu Feng finally saw that Ancient Era's Elf again. At the same time, he also saw a scene that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry about.
"Clank, clank, clank…"
At this moment, ear piercing sounds were being emitted from the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle unceasingly. It turned out that Ancient Era's Elf was actually frantically attacking the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. While attacking it, he even cursed loudly.
"Fuck! What the fuck is going on?! It's been so long, why are you still not being triggered?!"
"Despicable! I have even triggered the Silver Needle from the Kingdom and nearly triggered a Golden Needle! I refuse to believe that I am unable to trigger you!"
"If I failed, how would I have any more face to meet the others?! How would I have any more face to meet the others?! I swear that if you do not trigger now, then after I become a Martial Emperor, after I become a general, I will come back and destroy you!!"
At this moment, that Ancient Era's Elf had been driven completely mad. He was currently venting his anger on the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. He was truly in a violent fury because Chu Feng was even able to sense his strong killing intent. In short, the surrounding area of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle had already been beaten by him into a miserable state. It was already an appalling scene of devastation.
"This Ancient Era's Elf's battle power is truly amazing. Unfortunately, he's an idiot. Chu Feng, you truly have overestimated him. You actually even made preparations to evade him. Who would've known, he actually never planned to find you to begin with."
Seeing this scene, Eggy burst into a loud laughter. She was convulsed with laughter. That was because she felt that this Ancient Era's Elf by the name of Xian Kun was truly too ridiculous. Although he was a genius, he was simultaneously an idiot.
"It's likely that he isn't an idiot. Instead, he's overly conceited." At this moment, Chu Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.
He felt that it was impossible for someone who managed to reach Xian Kun's cultivation to have a low intelligence. However, because he was too conceited, he lost his reason in conceit and thought that, other than him, there was simply no one else who could reach the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
Thus, even though Xian Kun felt that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was acting strange, he never imagined for there to be a Chu Feng at the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond alongside him.
"Fuck! Exactly what is happening?! What the hell is wrong with this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle?!"
"What is wrong, that's right, what is wrong. It's you, you're definitely malfunctioning! I most definitely have already triggered you! It's merely that you have yet to show yourself being triggered by me! Perhaps you have already released the lightning outside of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and I merely did not know about that."
"Hahahaha, that's most definitely the case. That's most definitely the case! Perhaps the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle in this place is different from the one in the kingdom and that it would simply not give any motion after being triggered. Instead, it would directly release the lightning at the top."
"That's right, this is the case, this is definitely the case. I am truly muddled. I am truly muddled. Hahahaha…"
After a display of his violent rage, that Ancient Era's Elf appeared to have come to a sudden realization. He actually began to laugh heartily. While laughing, he even patted his own head. Then, he suddenly moved his body and started to dash. With unimaginable speed, he left the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"Look! Quickly, look! Did you see that?! This Xian Kun, how exactly is he conceited. He is most definitely an idiot! Hahahaha…."
Hearing Xian Kun's laughter gradually grow further and further away and quickly disappearing, Eggy began to laugh even more heartily. She even decisively declared this Ancient Era's Immortal Elf by the name of Xian Kun to be an idiot.
At this moment, Chu Feng who had been surveying Xian Kun in the distance with deep precautions had black lines rolling down his head. This time around, Chu Feng had miscalculated. He had no choice but to admit that he had overestimated this Xian Kun fellow. Moreover, he had also been completely stupefied by Xian Kun's actions.
At this moment, everything remained pretty much the same on the water surface of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, everyone was training. If a change must be determined, then it would be that a lot of the cultivators who were training within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond had already emerged onto the water surface.
It was not that they did not wish to continue to train within the water. It was just that they truly could not withstand the pressure anymore. For the sake of not having any accidents, they had no choice but to emerge to the surface as they no longer dared to continue to withstand the pressure within the water.
However, several figures were hidden in the boundless ocean of mist above the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. All of these figures were the management elders from the Southern Domain. They possessed extraordinary status and formidable strength. Practically any one of them would be able to shake this entire region.
Other than these management elders, even the leader of the Southern Domain, that Southern Elf Lord, was present.
They had serious expressions as they firmly fixed their gazes at the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond down below. A feeling of unease began to emerge from them.
"Master Elf Lord, it has been a very long time already. Yet, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle has yet to be triggered and Lord Xian Kun did not emerge either. Could it be that he tried to show off excessively and encountered an accident?" Said a management elder in worry.
"That's improbable. With Lord Xian Kun's talent, even if he is unable to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, he should not have any mishaps." The Southern Elf Lord shook his head. However, displayed within his eyes was an unconcealable worry.
"Putt."
Suddenly, an enormous wave appeared on the tranquil water surface. At the same time, a figure burst out from the water like a dragon, rushed into the boundless ocean of white mist and arrived before the Southern Elf Lord and the others.
Upon seeing this person who had come, the Southern Elf Lord was overjoyed. He hurriedly walked forward and said, "Lord Xian Kun, you've finally come out. I am truly relieved to see that you're fine."
"See that I'm fine? How could anything possibly happen to me?" Xian Kun waved his hand. Then, with a slightly annoyed tone, he asked, "Southern Elf Lord, this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle ought to have been triggered by me, right? Why didn't you find a method to inform me about it and instead made me wait around in vain at the bottom of the Immortal Pond?"
Upon hearing Xian Kun's words, the Southern Elf Lord and the others were all startled. Then, with deep confusion, they asked, "Lord Xian Kun, what did you say?"

Chapter 1079 – Lightning Breaking Through The Heavens
"Could it be that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle has not been triggered?" Seeing their reactions, Xian Kun started to frown deeply. He realized that his speculation might've been wrong.
"It hasn't. Lord Xian Kun, ever since you entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, we have been observing from here the entire time. All this time, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle did not have any sort of reaction, much less being triggered." The Southern Elf Lord shook his head.
"Such a thing actually happened?" Hearing those words, Xian Kun was deeply surprised. Then, he sighed and said, "Southern Elf Lord, if this is the case, then I'm afraid that no one would be able to help you. It isn't that no one is able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Instead, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle you have here is already damaged."
"What? Lord Xian Kun, what do you mean by that? You said that our Southern Domain's Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is already damaged?" Hearing what Xian Kun said, the Southern Elf Lord as well as the various management elders all displayed extremely shocked and disturbed expressions.
"That's right. It is most definitely damaged. Generally, as long as one stays in the bottom for sixteen hours, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle would be triggered. However, I have stayed in the bottom for over sixty hours. Yet, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle still didn't trigger. What might be the reason for that? Is there even a need for me to explain it to you all?"
"Without a doubt, your Southern Domain's Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is damaged. I can guarantee that." Said Xian Kun with an expression of absolute certainty.
"Heavens! This…" Hearing those words, everyone from the Southern Domain displayed extremely dejected expressions. Especially the Southern Elf Lord, his body even swayed and he almost fell. It was evident that he had been greatly shocked.
As the Elf Lord of the Southern Domain, he was the person in charge of everything here. However, he knew very well that the true ruler of everything here was the Elf King. He was merely a person in charge of watching over this region, a powerful guard. However, before the King, he was only a subordinate.
As the Elf Lord in charge of this region, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle and the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond were his everything. Yet now, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle that he was in charge of was actually damaged. Then, he, as the Elf Lord, would have to bear the responsibility of the damage and be punished severely.
"Master Elf Lord, what do we do now?"
In fact, it was not only the Southern Elf Lord that was worried. At this moment, the many management elders from the Southern Domain were also panicking. Although this matter should not be related to them and no one knew how the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle became damaged, they were, after all, people who served this region. If their master was to be punished, they would naturally be unable to escape the punishment either. Thus, they all felt that a great catastrophe was imminent.
"Lord Xian Kun, are you truly certain that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is damaged? This sort of thing cannot be joked about." After calming down a bit, the Southern Elf Lord asked.
"Absolutely certain." Said Xian Kun with a determined expression. His gaze was cold and detached. It was as if what he had said was the unquestionable truth.
Upon hearing his words, the Southern Elf Lord and the management elders were all struck dumb.
However, they would never have thought that, at this moment after Xian Kun had left the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's bottom, a scene was happening at that very same location.
Chu Feng stood in the bottom of the Immortal Pond. Layers upon layers of powerful energy was channeling into his body unceasingly. Most importantly, this sort of powerful energy created a chain reaction. The enormous formation hidden in the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was currently emitting a dazzling light.
It was not only that enormous formation that was emitting light all over, even that Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was emitting a dazzling silvery light. Moreover, the ancient runes and symbols on the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle were all emitting light right now, as if they had been imbued with life, the light was rapidly squirming around.
"Haha, sure enough. After that guy left, you immediately triggered this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Chu Feng, you've succeeded. You've successfully triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle." Seeing this scene, Eggy was so excited and overjoyed that she started jumping and hopping around.
However, the current Chu Feng did not have the time to think about all those things. He had his eyes closed and did not bother to care about anything. He was wholeheartedly projecting his consciousness to his dantian. That was because he was able to clearly sense how significant the power being channeled into him by the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's mysterious formation was. This might actually be the crucial moment when he would be able to breakthrough to become a Martial King.
As the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle triggered, light started to rush up from the bottom of the Immortal Needle. Gradually, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle started to shine. In the end, the change arrived on the surface of the water and rushed all the way into the skies above. At this moment, everyone noticed the change.
"Heavens! Quickly, look! The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is shining!"
"What sort of situation is this? Could it be that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle has been triggered?"
Seeing the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle that was currently shining with countless number of runes and symbols flowing through it as if living, everyone was shocked. Regardless of where they're from, whether they're humans or monstrous beasts, at this moment, they all soared to the sky.
Not only did they leave the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, they also rushed to flee into the distant places in fear of being affected by the power of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
That was because the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was not only emitting light all over, it also emitted an ancient, mysterious and unapproachable divine aura.
At this moment, within the boundless white mist, the Southern Elf Lord and the others were completely rejected and filled with worries because of what Xian Kun had said.
However, who would've thought that, all of a sudden, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle actually started to shine. Even they who were within the boundless white mist were able to clearly see the change that had happened to the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
"Heavens, this is…"
"It's the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle! The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle has been triggered! Master Elf Lord, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle has been triggered!"
"Good gracious! The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is not damaged! This sort of light, this sort of change, isn't this precisely what happens after the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is triggered?"
Seeing the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle that was emitting light all over, the various management elders of the Southern Domain were all overjoyed. It was as if they had found paradise after entering a boundless abyss; they were truly emotional.
With even the elders acting like this, there was no need to mention how emotional the Southern Elf Lord was. Merely, because he was, after all, the lord of this region; although he was overjoyed, he still had a composed expression.
He looked to Xian Kun and said, "Lord Xian Kun, it would appear that you have made a misjudgement. Our Southern Domain's Ancient Era's Immortal Needle has not been damaged at all. Otherwise, how would it be triggered?"
Actually, Xian Kun had truly thought that this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was broken. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to not be triggered by him. However, after seeing what was happening, he too was surprised. That was because this was most definitely the reaction of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle being triggered.
"Ha, it's reaction being so slow, is this not a sign of damage?" Although he felt that he was mistaken, Xian Kun refused to admit it. Not only that, he even arrogantly said to the Southern Elf Lord. "However, regardless of that, you must still thank me. If it wasn't for me, how could this Ancient Era's Immortal Needle possibly be triggered?"
"That's of course, that's of course."
Although Xian Kun's tone was arrogant, the Southern Elf Lord did not take offense to it. That was because to him, everything would be well as long as his Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was not damaged. Moreover, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle had not been triggered for many years. For it to be triggered now, it was a long-time desire of his happening. The current him was overjoyed. Regardless of how unpleasant Xian Kun's words were, he would not take any offense to it.
"The long awaited green lightning, you are finally going to grace your presence before my Southern Domain once more. I truly missed you to death!"
At this moment, the Southern Elf Lord raised his head to look to the sky. His hope-filled gaze was fixed on top of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
In reality, it was not only him. Practically all of the Ancient Era's Elves, including the humans and the monstrous beasts, had all raised their heads to wait for the arrival of the scene of the green lightning covering the entire horizon.
"Rumble."
Suddenly, an ear-piercing thunder exploded from the topmost region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, shaking this entire region. The rumble was truly too ear-piercing. Not only that, it was also awe-inspiring. Practically everyone was intimidated by that rumble.
"Zzzzz"
Right after the thunder rumble that shook everything passed, a dazzling lightning appeared from the topmost region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
The thickness of that lightning was enormous. It was a magnificent sight. It appeared like an enormous dragon composed of countless smaller lightnings. Bringing about an unparalleled power, it spread throughout the entire sky, covering the horizon.
The dense lightning created a net in the sky. Moreover, it was expanding in size unceasingly. Even though a boundless white mist covered the sky, the people below still managed to see the incomparable might displayed by it.
At this moment, everyone was stupefied. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths agape. Their gazes were flickering and their lips were shuddering. They were all suffering from an inconceivable and unprecedented shock.
That was because, at this very moment, the lightning that covered the sky, the lightning that was emitted by the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was not green in color. Instead, it was golden

Chapter 1080 – 1
Golden colored lightning covered the entire horizon. It was as if there were ten thousand dragons galloping and bellowing in the sky. The display truly brought about shock and terror to everyone.
However, at this moment, the thing that was most shocking was the color of the lightning. It was gold, it was actually golden colored.
Legend has it that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle would emit different colored lightning depending on the race of the person who triggered it. For humans, it would be gold. For monstrous beasts, red; and for the Elves, green.
In the past, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle had emitted green lightning every time it was triggered. This caused many people to feel that the legend was false.
Yet, today, the lightning released was a different color. Moreover, it was the color being triggered by a human, gold. How could this not shock everyone?
"Golden lightning, it's actually a golden lightning."
"We've succeeded! We've actually succeeded! After all these years, us humans finally have someone who's managed to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle!"
After a brief moment of silence, all the humans, whether within the walls or outside the walls, were overjoyed. An uncontainable excitement burst forth from them.
Golden lightning. In all these years, no one managed to trigger such lightning. Yet today, golden lightning was actually triggered. The humans were naturally overjoyed by this sudden turn of events because this was considered to be glory for all humans.
"It's actually a golden lightning? Could it be that Yuan Qing succeeded?" Compared to the others, the two management elders from the Orion Monastery were even more excited. That was because they believed that only their disciple Yuan Qing was able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
In fact, it was not only them who felt this way. Practically everyone from outside the city wall felt this way as they had all placed their hopes on Yuan Qing.
However, at the moment when all of the humans were in ecstasy, the Ancient Era's Elves were thoroughly shocked. Especially the Southern Elf Lord, his current frame of mind was on the verge of collapse.
"This… how could this be? How could this be?"
"Xian Kun, exactly what is happening? Didn't you say that you would be able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle? But what is this? What sort of situation is this? Why did the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle release a golden lightning? Speak, what exactly is happening?" Overly emotional, that Southern Elf Lord actually grabbed Xian Kun's collar and raised him. In anger, he snarled at Xian Kun.
He was truly, overly enraged, so enraged that he no longer cared about Xian Kun's identity and strength. That was because the moment when the golden lightning was released, he already knew that a great catastrophe would befall him.
All these years, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needles had never been triggered by humans or monstrous beasts. Yet today, the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle in his territory was triggered by a human. To the Ancient Era's Elves, this was an extraordinary shame and humiliation. He knew that the Elf King would not let him get away with it.
"This… I also do not know what happened. I clearly…"
At this moment, Xian Kun was also panicking. Regardless of how conceited he was, he still knew that the Southern Elf Lord possessed the strength to kill him in an instant. At the time when the Southern Elf Lord revered him, he could do whatever he wanted. Yet now, during the time when the Southern Elf Lord was frantically enraged, he no longer dared to provoke the Southern Elf Lord. Instead, now he needed to try to free himself.
"Clearly what?! Could it be that you did not discover a human arriving at the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond?!" Interrogated the Southern Elf Lord.
"I…" Xian Kun was left speechless. That was because he had truly not bothered to inspect whether there might be anyone else other than him at the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
At that time, he conceitedly believed that no one other than him would be able to reach the bottom. However, he now discovered that he was gravely mistaken. That was because the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle had been triggered and even released golden lightning on top of that; a sign that it was triggered by a human.
Upon recalling of how there was no reaction to the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle even though he had stayed in the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond for so long, he now realized the reason. That was, other than him, there was another person at the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
Unfortunately for him, he discovered it much too late.
"Abominable! He actually fooled me! I shall go and seize this bastard from the Immortal Pond right now and make him pay the price for his conduct!"
After realizing what had happened, rage also covered Xian Kun's face. He shook off the Southern Elf Lord's hand that was grabbing him and tried to enter into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond once again in hope of capturing the person who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
"Wuuuaaooo~~~~"
However, right at this moment, an ear-piercing bellow suddenly sounded from the depths of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Not only was that sound extremely loud and clear, it also contained an immense amount of might. It was as if the sound did not originate from something ordinary at all. Instead, it sounded more like the bellow of gods. It was truly soul-shaking. Not only did it bring about awe to the people, it also caused them to be greatly afraid.
"Rumble."
After the sound echoed through the space, enormous waves suddenly appeared on the previously calm Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Those enormous waves revolved around the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle and created an enormous whirlpool. That surging whirlpool's might was overflowing. Moreover, lightning sparks could actually be seen in the whirlpool.
"What's that?" At this moment, everyone lowered their heads and cast their gazes at the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. That was because they were able to tell that a gargantuan change was happening to the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. It appeared as if something was about to emerge from the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"Rumble." Finally, before the numerous gazes of the crowd, five lightnings were shot out from the center of the whirlpool. They revolved around the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle as they soared straight to the sky.
It was five lightnings with different appearances and colors. They were respectively purple, gold, blue, red and black.
Five different colors. However, these five lightnings were somewhat different from the enormous net of lightning that was being released by the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. The might of these five lightnings appeared to be even more divine, even more ferocious. Most importantly, those five lightnings appeared as if they were living. They did not appear to be released by the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle but appeared more like they're running up the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
Finally, the five divine lightnings arrived at the top of the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Only then did they separate themselves from the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. However, unlike the golden lightning above the Immortal Needle, they did not disperse. Instead, they turned into five enormous and ferocious lightning beasts.
At the moment when the five lightning beasts appeared, the sky instantly turned dark. Even though the golden lightning released by the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was still present, the ruler of the sky appeared to be those five lightning beasts.
That was because the aura emitted by these lightning beasts were too frightening and indescribably strong. Such a powerful might simply does not appear to be something from this world.
Before these five lightning beasts, regardless of whether it was the Ancient Era's Elves, the humans or the monstrous beasts, they all felt how tiny they were. Before the five lightning beasts, they were truly tiny, as tiny as a speck of dust, unworthy of even mentioning.
"What is that?"
At this moment, everyone was stunned. As they looked to the five enormous lightning beasts that revolved around the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, they were both shocked and fearful. Yet, they did not know what to do.
That was because the scene before them was truly different from the times when the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was triggered in the past. To be exact, this time was even more magnificent, even more spectacular, even more of amazing. Most importantly, those five enormous lightning beasts were truly too terrifying. It was as if if they wished for it, they would be able to easily flatten this entire region and turn all of them into ashes.

Chapter 1081 – The True Power
"Those lightnings do not appear to be released by the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Exactly what are they?"
In fact, even the Southern Elf Lord and the arrogant and prideful Xian Kun were frowning. Fear and unease filled their green eyes. They were both frightened by those five enormous lightning beasts.
"Wuuaaoo~~~~"
"Zzzzzz"
Right at the moment when everyone was stunned by the five enormous lightning beasts, the five enormous lightning beasts first emitted a snarl before turning back into five divine lightnings. Revolving around the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, they flew back down. In the end, they dived into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
After those five divine lightnings entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, the whirlpool on the surface of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond began to gradually settle. The pitch-black sky also returned to the brightness it had before. Even the golden lightning released by the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was gradually dissipating. Soon, this region of space returned to the peacefulness from before.
However, all the people present had their eyes fixed upon the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. Their shocked hearts had yet to settle.
At this moment, Chu Feng who was standing at the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond finally opened his eyes. In his sharp eyes flickered five different colored lightnings. Moreover, even his aura was no longer as simple as being merely martial power anymore. Instead, it was now the extremely mighty king level martial power.
Chu Feng's cultivation was no longer a rank nine Martial Lord. He had become a rank one Martial King. At the moment when Chu Feng triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, he obtained an enormous profit from the Ancient Era's formation and actually managed to reach a breakthrough directly.
"Haha. No wonder you ignored me. So you were actually making a breakthrough. How was it? I saw that black-colored divine lightning rushing out from your body and then returning to your body, did you manage to gain any new power?" Eggy asked excitedly.
Chu Feng did not answer Eggy's question. Instead, with an intention, he made the Thunder Armor appear on him.
After the Thunder Armor appeared, Chu Feng's cultivation was instantly increased to rank two Martial King from rank one Martial King. Moreover, Chu Feng's current Thunder Armor was somewhat different from before.
His current Thunder Armor appeared even more substantial, like a true armor. Merely, on the surface of the substantial armor flowed five different colored lightnings. Before, there were only four.
"Sure enough, there's an extra lightning. However, your cultivation has only increased by a single rank. There doesn't seem to be much of a change."
Eggy sensed Chu Feng's cultivation. After seeing that the Thunder Armor had changed but its effect had not, Eggy bulged her cheeks. A depressed expression appeared on her matchlessly beautiful face.
"Zzzzz" However, right at this moment, Chu Feng's had a one more intention. As lightning flickered in his eyes, two large lightning swords spread forth from the back of his Thunder Armor.
As the two large lightning swords spread out from his back, they curved around and ended up in wing-like shapes. It turned out that they were not two large lightning swords but was a pair of Thunder Wings.
The Thunder Wings were extremely mighty. Each of them was several meters long, many times longer than Chu Feng's height. Moreover, their appearance was also breathtaking. Not only were they composed of five different interweaving lightnings, they even caused the surrounding substances to tremble.
However, what shocked Eggy the most was Chu Feng's cultivation. After the Thunder Wings appeared, Chu Feng's cultivation increased once more. From rank two Martial King, his cultivation was increased to rank three Martial King.
"Haha. Sure enough, you've grasped a new power. Increasing your cultivation by two ranks in succession, that's more like it." At this moment, Eggy who was slightly depressed earlier was beaming with happiness. Her smile was truly beautiful.
"This isn't much. I have also managed to obtain new harvest from this breakthrough. I feel that that might be the true power of the Divine Lightnings." Said Chu Feng.
"True power? What did you gain?" Hearing what Chu Feng said, Eggy's eyes instantly shined. Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked.
"This place is not safe. I'll display it to you after we switch locations." Chu Feng lightly smiled. Then, with a movement of his body, the Azure Dragon appeared underneath his feet and, with an unimaginable speed, he began to fly toward the distant.
Chu Feng did not directly return to the surface following the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Instead, he began to proceed for the edge of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond from the bottom.
Due to the fact that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle had been triggered, he reckoned that there would be a lot of people with gazes focused upon the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's central region waiting for the appearance of the person who triggered it.
To the humans, this was most definitely an extraordinary moment, enough to stir their hearts. However, to the Ancient Era's Elves, it would likely be the complete opposite.
Chu Feng had experienced the methods of the Ancient Era's Elves. He could guess how much loathe the Ancient Era's Elves possessed right now. If they found out that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was triggered by him, they would likely not let him get away with it.
If the Ancient Era's Elves truly wanted to do something to him, then even if Chu Feng joined a colossus like the Cyanwood Mountain, he would likely not be able to escape death. After all, the Ancient Era's Elves were truly too powerful.
There was only a single method for him to escape mishaps. That is, to not be known that it was he who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Chu Feng planned to swim to the surrounding of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond from the center region and then secretly leave. Like that, no one would know that it was him who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
Chu Feng increased his speed to the maximum. Soon, he had left the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's region covered by the Ancient Era's formation. After leaving that region, the frightening pressure naturally disappeared.
Although where he was currently would still be considered to be the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, it was already far away from the crowd. However, Chu Feng did not rush to leave the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. That was because he was itching to try out the new power that he now grasped.
"Quick, quick, quick. Quickly show your Lady Queen the true power of the Divine Lightnings." Eggy was also very impatient. She began to urge Chu Feng.
"Heh, don't be anxious. I'll show it to you right away." Chu Feng smiled complacently. Then, his eyes displayed a serious expression. He first closed his eyes. After that, his entire person's aura became completely different.
The Thunder Armor and the Thunder Wings were still on him. However, the lightning on them was changing. An even more frightening lightning was brewing from Chu Feng's body.
"Woosh."
"Woosh."
"Woosh."
"Woosh."
"Woosh."
"Woosh."
"Woosh."
Suddenly, Chu Feng opened his eyes. At this moment, the five Divine Lightnings in Chu Feng's body had turned into finger-length lightning serpents. Like arrows, they explosively shot in all directions with Chu Feng as the center.
At this moment, this region of water was no longer peaceful. That was because everything in the path of the five Divine Lightnings were obliterated. Even the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond's water that contained natural energy was instantly evaporated by the Divine Lightnings.

Chapter 1082 – Divine Lightning's Backlash
There was simply nothing that could stop the terrifying Divine Lightning. Even the rocks on the surface of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond that had been bestowed with the protection of spirit formation were being exploded into fiery balls by the Divine Lightnings. They flew all around and up and down. The might of the Divine Lightnings was so frighteningly powerful.
However, although the Divine Lightnings were peerlessly powerful, they only continued onward for at most a hundred meters before dissipating. Furthermore, that's for the ones that managed to travel a long distance. For those that didn't they only travelled for several meters before dissipating. With such a short range, even if the might of the Divine Lightning was extraordinary, it would be of no use if they failed to hit the enemy.
However, the range being short was still not the greatest issue. The greatest problem was that, after Chu Feng released these Divine Lightnings, his rosy complexion, his face that used to be filled with energy, in a flash became pale as paper and without the slightest color of blood.
As for the five lightnings that flickered in his sharp eyes, they too dissipated alongside the Divine Lightnings released by him. In their place, Chu Feng's eyes were now bloodshot and lacking any life. At this moment, Chu Feng's aura was severely weak.
"Woosh."
Not only did his aura decline, even his body was no longer under his control. In an instant, the Thunder Armor on his body as well as the Thunder Wings on his back disappeared. Even the Azure Dragon Dashing Technique underneath his feet disappeared. As for his body, it had lost all balance. He began to sway in the water and finally falling to the rocks on the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
"Chu Feng, what happened? Are you alright?"
Seeing this scene, Eggy was frighteningly shocked. She could tell that although the power of the Divine Lightnings were overwhelming, it was evident that Chu Feng did not manage to obtain full control over it. Most importantly, Chu Feng had merely released a tiny bit of the lightnings yet his body had already been overloaded. He also received a major backlash as the price of using the lightnings.
Regardless of how much Eggy shouted, she was unable to obtain any response from Chu Feng. That was because Chu Feng had already lost consciousness and entered into a state of coma. Moreover, his aura was still rapidly declining, growing weaker and weaker.
"Chu Feng, wake up. WAKE BACK UP! Damn it. Why did this happen?"
Seeing that Chu Feng's state was extremely bad, Eggy also started to panic. Without any other choice, she clenched her teeth and prepared to use a forbidden method – sacrificing herself to forcibly release her special power to help heal Chu Feng's injuries.
"Buzz"
Right at the moment of crisis, a bust of movement arrived from the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. It was water, a flow of water. However, it was no ordinary flow of water. The water contained a faint green light and was extremely fast.
It arrived above Chu Feng before stopping and then started to descend. Like clothes, it bundled Chu Feng within it.
Being covered by the green flow of water, not only did Chu Feng's aura began to recover, even Eggy who was in Chu Feng's world spirit space felt a burst of warmth.
"What is this?" At this moment, Eggy had given up on the thought of using her forbidden method. That was because she could feel that there was a gentle and warm energy that was currently healing Chu Feng. This energy was extremely powerful and extremely effective.
However, because Chu Feng had fainted and Eggy was unable to forcibly leave his body, she did not know where exactly this gentle energy that was healing Chu Feng had come from.
In the water several thousand meters away from the place where Chu Feng had fainted in was a small and delicate silhouette. It was a little girl with bright eyes, beautiful jet-black hair and snow-like fair skin. It was the little girl that Chu Feng saved from the Orion Monastery's disciple outside of the Immortal Pond.
However, this little girl was somewhat different from before.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, the little girl's pupils were pulled back. Her bright eyes actually began to change. Not only did her eyes turn from black to green, even her hair turned from black to blonde. A pair of pointed ears also emerged from her golden hair.
Other than the change in the color of her eyes, hair and the shape of her ears, there was no other change to the little girl's appearance. However, she emitted an extraordinary and fairy-like aura.
"Heh. Humans, I have a whole new level of respect for you all now." This little girl looked to Chu Feng. Her eyes were squinted as she smiled sweetly. Although her appearance had changed, her mischievous nature remained as it was.
After she finished saying these words, her body moved. Ripples appeared in her surroundings. At this moment, the little girl's figure had disappeared. It was as if she was never there.
No one knew about what Chu Feng did in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. At this moment, everyone was standing in the sky above the center region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond with their gazes fixed upon the tranquil waters of the Immortal Pond.
The Immortal Pond had been tranquil for quite some time now and they had been staring at it for quite some time too. However, no one dared to enter the Immortal Pond. Even that Xian Kun did not dare to do so.
After all, the scene that emerged from the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond was truly too shocking. Especially those five enormous lightning beasts; they appeared to have the power to destroy everything. Everyone present was able to realize that the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond being triggered this time around was different from the past. Thus, even the Ancient Era's Elves did not dare to lower their guard and rashly enter into the water.
However, they were also hoping for the person who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle to quickly appear as they all wanted to know who exactly triggered it and created such an astonishing feat.
"Look, someone's coming out?" Suddenly, someone shouted. At this moment, everyone's eyes shined. That was because a figure indeed appeared in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond and was rapidly flying toward the surface.
Seeing that figure that was rushing towards the surface, everyone's hearts jumped to their throats; they were extremely nervous. They knew that the moment that would bring about the greatest amazement was soon to occur.
"Hualala."
An enormous wave appeared on the surface of the water. After that, a figure appeared from the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. As for this figure, it was not Chu Feng. He wore the Orion Monastery's disciple's clothings. It was the genius disciple of the Orion Monastery, Yuan Qing.
"Senior brother Yuan Qing, it's indeed you. Haha. I knew that the person who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is most definitely senior brother Yuan Qing."
Upon seeing Yuan Qing, the people from the Orion Monastery immediately burst into an exultation. Not only did they begin to cheer nonstop, they even flew down from the sky and surrounded Yuan Qing on the water, grabbed him and began to throw him in the air to celebrate.
"Yuan Qing. It's truly him who did that? He's indeed a genius, he actually managed to successfully trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. This is truly a miraculous feat for us humans. His name shall be recorded in the annals. Everyone will remember the honor that he had strived for us."
In reality, it was not only the people from the Orion Monastery that were overjoyed. Practically all of the humans present and even the monstrous beasts were extremely excited.
However, compared to the others, Elder Gongsun and the other disciples from the Southern Cyanwood Forest were frowning. A faint unease appeared in their eyes.
Although a human triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was a great deed worthy of celebration, it would be different if the human was Yuan Qing. After all, Yuan Qing had a conflict with Chu Feng earlier. If he was to gain power, then wouldn't it mean that Chu Feng would suffer a calamity?
In other words, the Southern Cyanwood Forest would likely be under great pressure.
"You all… what's going on?" Right at the moment when everyone was cheering excitedly thinking that Yuan Qing was their hero, Yuan Qing, however, had an expression of confusion. He opened his mouth and asked in a puzzled manner.

Chapter 1083 – Elf Princess
"Senior brother Yuan Qing, could it be that you still didn't know? You have successfully triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle had emitted a golden lightning that covered the entire sky above the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond."
"It's not merely that. Other than the legendary golden lightning, five lightnings that were not recorded in the legends also appeared. Those lightnings appeared to be living and actually galloped to the heavens, creating a magnificent sight." Said the disciples of the Orion Monastery in excitement.
"The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle has really been triggered?" Hearing those words, Yuan Qing started to frown. His heart began to boil.
That was because Qin Guang had gone to chase after Chu Feng but never returned. He feared that something might've happened to Qin Guang, so he decided to wait for Qin Guang in the Immortal Pond the entire time. While he was waiting, he had closed his eyes as he trained.
During the time when the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was triggered, he also felt the motion of the waters. At that time, he knew that something had happened. However, upon thinking that even the Ancient Era's Elves that were training at the deepest region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond had left and only Qin Guang and Chu Feng hadn't appeared, Yuan Qing began to feel unease and did not dare to rashly come out from the waters.
Thus, he decided to wait a bit longer. However, the longer he waited, the more unease he felt. He did not know if something had happened to Qin Guang or if he had already left. However, upon thinking that the three days' time limit had arrived, he decided to appear from within the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond.
However, never did he expect the reaction of the people after he emerged from the waters. It turned out that the movement he felt before was precisely the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle being triggered. Moreover, it appeared to be a human who triggered it.
And now, seeing the excited appearances of the people surrounding him and their gazes of reverence, it was clear that he had been deemed as the person who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
Although he knew that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was not triggered by him because he simply did not manage to reach the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, upon recalling how triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was his dream and the honor and benefits that would come alongside triggering it, he truly wanted to be the one to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle.
And now, since everyone believed that it was him who triggered it, he would naturally not deny it.
Thus, he calmed his frame of mind and displayed a smile on his previously confused face. Then, in an extremely proud manner, he nodded and said, "That's right, I have triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle."
"Clamor~~~~~~~~"
Right after he said those words, the crowd burst into an uproar. Although the crowd had already determined that it was Yuan Qing that triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, it was still not as stimulating as hearing Yuan Qing declaring that it was him.
Evidently, at this moment, Yuan Qing had become the hero in the eyes of all these people. Not only were the people from the Orion Monastery loudly cheering for him, even the people who were not from the Orion Monastery began to applaud and cheer for him.
However, right at the moment when everyone determined that it was Yuan Qing who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, the Ancient Era's Elves that had entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond had a different view.
"It's him? How is that possible? I saw that guy in the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond. He simply did not even manage to reach the level of water that we reached, much less the bottom of the Immortal Pond. For the entire time, he had been lingering around the middle region of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond."
"Although he did not manage to reach the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond, it remains true that he was the human who managed to reach the deepest depth in the Immortal Pond. If it must be said who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, it is true that he would have the greatest possibility."
"That's impossible. The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle could only be triggered by those who reach the bottom. He was so far away from the bottom of the Immortal Pond; how could it possibly be him who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle?"
"The Ancient Era's Immortal Needle being triggered this time was different from the past to begin with. Moreover, could you ascertain that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle required a person to be at the bottom to trigger it?" Could you guarantee that the requirements that the humans have in triggering the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle would be the same as us?"
"This…"
Those Ancient Era's Elves that had encountered Yuan Qing began to debate among themselves. However, none of them could ascertain that it was not Yuan Qing who triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. In this helpless situation, the Ancient Era's Elves had no choice but to admit that it was Yuan Qing that triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. That was because, other than Yuan Qing, there was no other candidate.
"Truly unfair. I have been at the bottom of the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond for so long but did not manage to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Yet he, who was merely in that depth, was able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle and even give birth to lightnings that never before appeared. This is truly unfair!"
"This man simply does not qualify to embrace the honor that he receives now. That's because he simply does not qualify to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle." Compared to the others, Xian Kun was furious. He felt that it was truly too unfair, so unfair that killing intent rose in his heart. The more time passed, the denser his killing intent became. In the end, he blurted out, "I'll kill him!"
"I'm afraid that won't do." However, right at the moment when Xian Kun prepared to attack, a young and gentle voice sounded from behind him and the others.
Turning their heads to look, everyone was shocked. Immediately after, they all kneeled down and said, "We pay our respects to Lady Princess."
It turned out that the person who had come was precisely the Ancient Era's Elves' Kingdom's princess. As for this so-called princess, she was the little girl who had stolen the medicinal pellets from the Orion Monastery's disciple and later saved by Chu Feng.
"You can all rise. Get up. To kneel for no reason at all, are you people not tired of it?" At this moment, the Elf Princess was walking and jumping in the air. With her hands behind her back, she had a naughty appearance as she walked over to the Southern Elf Lord, Xian Kun and the other management elders.
"Lady Princess, that trash by the name of Yuan Qing is simply unqualified to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. For him to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle is an insult to us Ancient Era's Elves. We cannot let him live, please allow me to go and eliminate this stain." Xian Kun requested.
"Oh? Southern Elf Lord, what do you think about this matter?" The Elf Princess blinked her large eyes and, with an expression as if she had no idea what should be done, looked to the Southern Elf Lord. Her appearance seemed like that of a child asking for help from an adult after not knowing what to do.
"Eh…"
"Lady Princess, what Lord Xian Kun said is not without justification. We cannot allow such a stain to exist." After hesitating for a moment, the Southern Elf Lord said.
"Oh? In that case, do you all plan to exterminate all those people, a total of several hundred millions, in the Southern Domain?" Asked the Elf Princess with a smile on her face and her eyes squinted. "What do you all consider our Ancient Era's Elves to be? Are we slaughterers or are we butchers?"
"This…" After being asked by the Elf Princess in such a manner, everyone was speechless.
"There are certain things that you people ought to know too. It is not that our Ancient Era's Immortal Needle have never been triggered by humans before. Ten thousand years ago, the human Qing Xuantian had triggered the kingdom's Ancient Era's Immortal Needle. Moreover, that is not an ordinary Ancient Era's Immortal Needle; instead, it was our kingdom's golden needle."
"Xian Kun, I believe you know how difficult it is to trigger that golden needle, right?' Suddenly, the Elf Princess looked to Xian Kun with a smile on her face.
Being looked by the Elf Princess in such a manner, Xian Kun's expression instantly became unsightly. However, in the end, he nodded and said, "This subordinate knows very well."
"There's no need to feel ashamed. Since the ancient times, the number of Ancient Era's Elves that managed to trigger the golden needle cannot be counted with one's fingers. That is because triggering the golden needle is simply not something that anyone ordinary could achieve." The Elf Princess smiled profoundly. Then, with a slicky satire-tone, she continued. "However, the human Qing Xuantian managed to accomplish that."
"If it is said that as long as it would be a humiliation to us if any other race triggered the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, then we have already felt this humiliation ten thousand years ago."
"If you all wish to remove the stain, then I'm afraid killing the several hundred millions of people here would not be enough. Instead, you'll have to kill all of the people in the Holy Land of Martialism. Because, regardless of whether it might be the humans or the monstrous beasts, elderly or children, everyone knows that Qing Xuantian had defeated us Ancient Era's Elves ten thousand years ago."
Said the Elf Princess with a child's voice. Regardless of what she was saying, her voice was still that of a child's. However, after she finished speaking, all of the Ancient Era's Elves present lowered their heads and didn't say anything. Not only were they speechless, embarrassment also covered their faces.

Chapter 1084 – Someone Else
"C'mon, say something. Why have you all become silent? Could it be what I said was incorrect?"
"Very well. Then, tell me, if we wish to remove the stain upon us Ancient Era's Elves, do we not require to kill all the people besides us Ancient Era's Elves in the entire Holy Land of Martialism?" Seeing that everyone was silent, the Elf Princess asked once again. However, her tone this time had changed from one that was cheerful to one that was cold and detached, containing a faint trace of imposingness.
"We…" The Southern Elf Lord and the others continued to lower their heads in silence. That was because they truly had nothing to say. After all, what the Elf Princess said was the truth. Qing Xuantian defeating the Ancient Era's Elves was something that had truly happened, it was something that everyone knew about, something that had already entered into the annals and was impossible to be altered.
If they truly wanted to talk about humiliation, then this matter would definitely be the greatest disgrace to the Ancient Era's Elves. Yet, it was a disgrace that they couldn't change. Not to mention that they could not return to ten thousand years ago to change it, even if they could, with their strength, what could they possibly do?
Even the ancestors of the Ancient Era's Elves were no match for Qing Xuantian; so how could they possibly eliminate Qing Xuantian? It was likely that a casual fart from Qing Xuantian would be enough to eliminate all of them.
"Lady Princess, Qing Xuantian is the strongest human during that time. He is an existence that had surpassed all others before him and never been surpassed ever since. How could that Yuan Qing possibly compare with Qing Xuantian?" Suddenly, Xian Kun spoke out. He was willing to not kill Yuan Qing. However, he would not acknowledge Yuan Qing to be an individual stronger than him.
That was because he was able to ascertain that regardless of Yuan Qing's current cultivation or his future potential, they were both incomparable to his own. With merely a single finger from him, he would be able to smash Yuan Qing to death. Thus, he truly was unable to accept the fact that Yuan Qing would be able to trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle that even he failed to trigger.
"Did I ever say that that guy by the name of Yuan Qing is comparable to Qing Xuantian?" The Elf Princess asked instead.
"I…" Xian Kun was speechless. Indeed, the Elf Princess never said that Yuan Qing was comparable to Qing Xuantian.
"Although Yuan Qing is incomparable to Qing Xuantian, this does not mean that there is no second Qing Xuantian among the humans. It is best for you all to restrain your despise towards other races because you might not necessarily be stronger than other races. To look down upon others would only cost you dearly."
"I have already said all that I should say. All these people that have come to the Southern Domain today, I wish for all of them to leave unscathed. In the future, I hope that their lives and deaths would be unrelated to us Ancient Era's Elves."
"Especially you, Xian Kun. It's best for you to not do something that I do not wish to happen. Otherwise, I will make you regret it." Said the Elf Princess to Xian Kun.
As he saw the Elf Princess's beautiful gaze that appeared to contain a special implied meaning, Xian Kun's body shivered. He gulped a mouthful of saliva and even began to sweat cold sweat.
In actuality, it was not only him. Even the Southern Domain's Elf Lord and the management elders, ancient monsters that had cultivated for hundreds of years, had heavy expressions and unstable eyes right now.
Although outsiders might not know how powerful this Elf Princess was, they knew very well.
The Elf Princess was only twelve years old. Regardless of whether it was her age or appearance, they were both only that of a twelve year old child. Judging by her appearance, she truly appeared like an extremely beautiful little girl.
However, the Elf Princess was also different from ordinary children. Although she still possessed the mischievous and trouble-making nature of a child, her thought process was extremely mature. Most importantly, contained within the body of this Elf Princess was a frightening power, a power that they did not have. Thus, this led to the Elf Princess holding a very high status within the kingdom even though her age was so young. Very rarely would there be people able to compare to her.
"Lady Princess, please be assured. This subordinate understands your intentions very well. He will definitely not allow anything to happen to those people." After being silent for a moment, the Southern Elf Lord guaranteed.
"Southern Elf Lord, you can also be assured. I will explain to my royal father about this matter. I believe he will not make things difficult for you." Said the Elf Princess with a smile.
"This subordinate thanks princess for her great kindness."
Upon hearing what the Elf Princess said, the Southern Elf Lord was immediately overjoyed. Although the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle being triggered by the humans was a great disaster, he might still be able to narrowly escape calamity if the Elf Princess was willing to plead for him. After all, the princess was the most beloved child of the Elf King. She was even said to be the hope of the Ancient Era's Elves. Thus, her words possessed a lot of weight.
"These subordinates pay their respect to Lady Princess, Lord Xian Kun, Master Elf Lord and Lord Elders." Suddenly, at this time, several Ancient Era's Elves arrived before the crowd and saluted while kneeling.
"Impudent! Is this such a place that you all are qualified to enter? Is Lady Princess someone that you all could casually approach?" However, when those Ancient Era's Elves arrived, the management elders actually grew a bit angry.
The Ancient Era's Elves attached very high importance to rules. For elves with low status, they were not allowed to casually approach the elves with higher status. And this place was a place that not only contained the upper echelons of the Southern Domain, even the Elf Princess was present. It was truly not a place that these younger generation elves could casually come to.
"Lord Elders, please forgive our rudeness. It's merely that we truly have an important matter to report to Master Elf Lord." Said those Ancient Era's Elves while trembling with fear.
"What is it? Speak." Asked the Southern Elf Lord.
"Of the Ancient Era's Elves that have entered into the Ancient Era's Immortal Pond this time around, eighty-three of them have yet to appear. Currently, there is no news from them. We fear that something has happened to them. Thus, we have come to ask Master Elf Lord to determine what we should do." Those Ancient Era's Elves said together.
"Such a matter actually happened? Has anyone entered into the Immortal Pond search for them?" The Southern Elf Lord asked.
"There's no need to search; those eighty-three Ancient Era's Elves are already dead." Said the Elf Princess.
"What? Dead? Lady Princess, exactly what happened?" Upon hearing those words, not to mention the Southern Elf Lord, the expression of all the Ancient Era's Elves present took a huge change.
Never would they have thought that those eighty-three Ancient Era's Elves would be dead. One must know that with the special identity the Ancient Era's Elves possessed, there were barely any people in the entire Holy Land of Martialism that dared to do anything to them. Yet now, there were actually Ancient Era's Elves that had been killed in their own territory. This was simply something that they could not accept and tolerate.
"They are indeed dead. However, they have brought their deaths upon themselves. They wanted to kill another with inferior abilities and were instead killed."
"With how weak their natures were, even if they lived, they would only smear upon the name of us Ancient Era's Elves. Dying, on the other hand, was actually a good thing. Thus, Southern Elf Lord, there is no need for you to look further into this matter." Said the Elf Princess.
"Lady Princess, since you've declared it like this, this subordinate will definitely not look further into this matter. However, this subordinate wishes to know who exactly killed our Ancient Era's Elves. Might it be that boy called Yuan Qing?" Asked the Southern Elf Lord.
"Hah, he does not have that sort of ability." Said the Elf Princess with a light laughter.
"It's not that Yuan Qing?" Upon hearing those words, the Southern Elf Lord and the others were stunned once again. That was because they were able to determine the hidden intention behind the Elf Princess's words. It was evident that someone else had killed their Ancient Era's Elves. As for this person, his cultivation should be above Yuan Qing's. However, with how mysterious that person was, it might be that the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle was not triggered by Yuan Qing but instead was triggered by that mysterious individual.
At this moment, they truly wanted to know who that mysterious person was. Not only did that person trigger the Ancient Era's Immortal Needle, he even dared to kill their Ancient Era's Elves.
However, seeing the appearance of the princess, it was clear that she did not plan to tell them anything. Thus, they also did not dare to ask any further. After all, the actions of the Elf Princess today were unusual. They were all able to tell that the Elf Princess knew that person and was intentionally protecting that person.
Someone that the princess was protecting, how could they dare to do anything to that person? Thus, they could only drop the subject and leave behind an unsolved question in their hearts without daring to venture to find the answer.
