While Queen-sama was in secluded cultivation, Chu Feng was still at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Back then, Chu Feng was still competing with his peers.
At that time, Linghu Hongfei stood high above, almost like a legend.
To the Chu Feng of that era, Linghu Hongfei was an unattainable existence.
But now, Chu Feng had not only surpassed the Heavenly Immortal Realm but also the Martial Immortal Realm, with his cultivation nearing the peak of the Exalted Realm.
Soon, Chu Feng would break through to become a Dragon Mark Saint Cloak World Spiritist, gaining the power to contend with Supreme Realm experts.
Even Linghu Hongfei, the legendary prodigy renowned across the Ancestral Martial Starfield, had died at Chu Feng’s hands.
As long as Chu Feng successfully broke through to Dragon Mark Saint Cloak World Spiritist, he could face off against the top figures of the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
As for his peers? No one could compare to him anymore.
Such a transformation was nothing short of monumental.
Though not much time had passed, Chu Feng’s progress was astonishingly rapid.
While Queen-sama had obtained the legendary Asura God Stone, Chu Feng couldn’t be certain, after such a long period of cultivation, whether her gains would match the time invested.
So, in this uncertainty, Chu Feng wanted to help her.
Fortunately, some time ago, he had acquired a cultivation resource from the lake in Elephant Mountain Valley that was immensely beneficial to world spirits.
Thus, Chu Feng decided to use this resource for Queen-sama.
At this moment, Chu Feng took out the cultivation resource again.
“I hope this time it works.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng began using his barrier technique to envelop the resource.
Under his control, he slowly pushed the resource toward Queen-sama.
Soon, his barrier technique shifted, causing the resource to fragment into a gaseous form, merging into Queen-sama’s body.
Chu Feng’s goal was simple.
This resource wasn’t only useful for world spirits; it lacked any violent energy, requiring no comprehension or refinement—just direct fusion.
As long as the fusion was complete, it would grant cultivation. The only thing needed was time.
*Buzz—*
Suddenly, the resource that had begun merging into Queen-sama’s body trembled, then was entirely expelled.
Though Queen-sama remained motionless and unchanged, the forceful rejection not only pushed out the resource but also sent Chu Feng staggering back several steps.
The resource, which Chu Feng had turned into gas with his barrier power, reverted to its original form.
“It’s happening again.”
“Is there something wrong with this resource?”
Chu Feng frowned.
His doubts centered on this issue.
When he first obtained the resource, he had intended it for Queen-sama.
And he had tried multiple times before.
But each attempt ended like this one. Despite the resource’s gentle nature, it couldn’t be used by Queen-sama.
It was always rejected.
These days, Chu Feng had been refining his barrier formations, trying to perfect the resource’s integration into her body.
This time, he had nearly achieved perfection.
Yet, even so, it failed.
Chu Feng’s gaze shifted to another figure.
In this world spirit space, Queen-sama wasn’t the only stunning beauty.
There was also Yu Sha.
Though Yu Sha’s appearance didn’t match Queen-sama’s, she had her own unique charm.
Of course, Chu Feng’s attention on Yu Sha wasn’t due to her beauty.
It was about the cultivation resource.
He used his barrier power again, activating the resource.
This time, after turning it into gas, he directed it toward Yu Sha.
Chu Feng wanted to determine whether the issue lay with the resource or if Queen-sama was rejecting it.
If the resource was flawed, he’d find another way. If it integrated smoothly into Yu Sha, it would mean Queen-sama was the one resisting.
To his surprise, the resource not only entered Yu Sha’s body effortlessly but did so at an astonishing speed that left Chu Feng stunned.
When he tried with Queen-sama, he had to push the resource in using his barrier power.
But with Yu Sha, the resource was actively drawn into her body.
One resisted, the other craved—a stark contrast.
“So it’s really Eggy rejecting it?”
“My Queen-sama, what’s wrong with you?”
“Such a good thing, and you don’t want it?”
After the resource fully merged with Yu Sha, Chu Feng looked at Queen-sama, his gaze complex.
Though he knew she’d be fine, his deep care for her made him worry.
Yet, most frustratingly, he was powerless. He couldn’t wake her and could only wait for her to awaken on her own.
“Sigh, I hope Yu Sha can gain something good from this resource.”
Chu Feng turned to Yu Sha.
Though his bond with her wasn’t as deep as with Queen-sama, he held a high opinion of her. She was someone he’d risk his life to protect.
While he reserved the best for Queen-sama, admitting his bias, he also wanted Yu Sha to grow stronger.
Afterward, Chu Feng shifted his consciousness back to his body.
He began releasing spiritual spring water, using its power to enhance his mental strength, then focused on comprehending the gem from the Demon-Slaying Emperor that could improve his barrier technique.
He had cultivated with it multiple times before.
Now, he was at a critical moment.
As expected, this time, Chu Feng fully grasped the gem’s mysteries, elevating his mental strength qualitatively.
Mental strength was akin to martial power; its strength determined cultivation level.
When Chu Feng’s mental strength reached a certain level, he could connect with more powerful barrier forces.
Now, he could wield Saint-level barrier power at the Dragon Mark level.
Chu Feng had become a Dragon Mark Saint Cloak World Spiritist.
As such, he could rely on barrier power to contend with Supreme Realm experts.
“What’s that?”
But as he connected with the barrier power, he sensed something unusual.
Deep within the barrier power lurked a unique presence.
It resembled a dragon, yet wasn’t quite one—just a vague form. Undeniably sacred, it seemed to contain immense power.
Faintly visible, it seemed ready to vanish at any moment, which only heightened its mystique and allure to Chu Feng.
Since becoming a world spiritist, Chu Feng had progressed from White Cloak to Gray, Blue, Purple, Gold, Royal, Immortal, Exalted, and now Dragon Mark Saint Cloak.
He had achieved what many could only dream of.
He believed he had a unique understanding of world spirit techniques.
Yet, he’d never encountered anything like this, making him eager to uncover what this mysterious entity was.
Using his mental strength, he tried to connect with it, hoping to unravel its nature.
*Wail—*
But the moment he touched it, his mental strength scattered, and his head felt like it would explode.
A wave of pain surged through him, catching him off guard, and he let out a pained cry.
In that instant, his consciousness snapped back to his body, his mind and body numb, as if paralyzed. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
He felt like he’d just recovered from a grave illness, his mind foggy, his body sluggish.
When he came to, his eyes held fear, his heart still racing.
“What the hell was that?” he couldn’t help but exclaim.
