“Miaomiao, what are you saying? He is your friend. How could we ever harm him?”
“As for your memory loss, you are overthinking it. Your memories were damaged from over-cultivation. Neither we nor your mother ever touched them.”
“We all love you. How could we possibly do anything against you?”
Seeing Xian Miaomiao react this way, the two Grand Elders hurriedly explained.
“Then why, after I lost my memories, did you never once tell me that I came from the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm, from the Martial Sacred Land?” Xian Miaomiao asked.
“This…”
“Miaomiao, we truly felt that those memories from the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm would do you no good, which is why we never mentioned them.”
The two Grand Elders replied.
“No good? Who says they were no good?”
“Let me tell you this: back in the Martial Sacred Land, I was far happier than I am here.”
“By what right did you strip away my memories?”
“By what right did you take from me my most precious memories?”
Anger surged across Xian Miaomiao’s little face.
Faced with such a Xian Miaomiao, the two Grand Elders fell silent. They had nothing more to say, for they knew exactly how things stood.
“I do not wish to argue with you. It has already happened. Who was right and who was wrong, I know clearly in my heart.”
“In short, do not treat me like a fool, and I especially do not want you to keep doing such things.”
“Otherwise, I will do as I say.”
“I will sever all ties with the Nine Souls Sacred Clan, and I will cut off relations with my mother.”
Xian Miaomiao declared.
…
After Xian Miaomiao and the others left.
Chu Feng also departed the area with Long Xiaoxiao and the rest.
Many onlookers had wanted to ingratiate themselves with Chu Feng.
But Chu Feng had no interest in dealing with them, so leaving was the best option.
After departing.
Chu Feng recounted his experiences to the Dragon Clan Leader and the others.
However, regarding the secret realm, he only said that he had found it, that it was extremely dangerous, and that he had encountered the Black-White Evils inside.
He said nothing more about the rest.
At present, though, the secret realm was no longer the focus of everyone’s concern.
What they cared about far more was how Chu Feng knew Princess Miaomiao of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan.
On this matter, Chu Feng did not elaborate. He simply said that he and Xian Miaomiao were old acquaintances.
As for where they had met, Chu Feng did not reveal. Mainly, he did not wish to cause Xian Miaomiao any trouble or inconvenience.
Although these people were now considered allies, Chu Feng did not fully trust them.
After all, when he and Long Xiaoxiao had been in danger earlier.
These allies had all stood by and watched.
Yet Chu Feng had no intention of holding it against them. He could understand their position.
Each of them carried the weight of an entire clan or power, the lives of countless people.
It was only natural that they would not risk everything for him.
However, after this incident, Chu Feng noticed that, apart from Long Xiaoxiao who remained unchanged, everyone else’s attitude toward him had shifted.
It was a kind of awe, even fear. They now spoke to him with extreme caution.
Others were one thing, but even the Dragon Clan Leader, Long Xiaoxiao’s mother, and Elder Long Shengbu were the same.
Chu Feng could understand this as well. After all, they greatly feared the Nine Souls Sacred Clan, and his relationship with Xian Miaomiao was close enough that she would slaughter her own clansmen for his sake.
They naturally knew what offending Chu Feng would mean.
Though within the Sacred Light Galaxy they were all renowned and powerful figures.
Now, in their eyes, Chu Feng was the true great person, someone they dared not offend.
“Young Hero Chu Feng, I am truly sorry. I brought you all here originally to share this secret realm, yet I never expected it would invite such trouble.”
“As a gesture of apology, I am willing to share another cultivation secret realm with everyone.”
Suddenly, the Yu Heavenly Clan Leader spoke.
“Another secret realm? What treasures does it hold?”
“Or is it simply a good place for cultivation?”
Everyone grew interested.
Even Chu Feng was no exception.
Chu Feng urgently wished to raise his cultivation. He did not want to miss any opportunity that could help.
“This place offers little benefit to old bones like us.”
“But for Young Hero Chu Feng and the younger generation like Miss Long, it should be helpful.”
“It is a location suitable only for the cultivation of juniors.”
The Yu Heavenly Clan Leader explained.
“Clan Leader!!!”
As soon as he spoke, the expressions of the Yu Heavenly Clan elders and the juniors such as Yu Hong and Yu Yin all changed.
They clearly knew which place their clan leader was referring to.
And precisely because they knew, they appeared unwilling to open it.
“What is it?”
The Yu Heavenly Clan Leader had been speaking enthusiastically with a smile.
But after being interrupted by his own people, his face turned extremely displeased.
“N-Nothing…”
Seeing his icy expression, as though he might explode with rage at any moment.
The elders all shut their mouths.
“When I am speaking, do not interrupt. Understood?”
The Yu Heavenly Clan Leader said coldly.
“Yes, sir.”
All the Yu Heavenly Clan members replied in unison.
Seeing this, Chu Feng and the others only grew more curious.
A place that even the Yu Heavenly Clan members were reluctant to share must be extraordinary.
“Clan Leader Senior, just what kind of place is it?”
Chu Feng asked.
And upon hearing Chu Feng speak, the Yu Heavenly Clan Leader once again became animated.
After all, the reason he was willing to suggest taking everyone to this secret realm was primarily because of Chu Feng.
If Chu Feng were not present, he would never share it with the others.
In a sense, everyone else was simply benefiting from Chu Feng.
Through the Yu Heavenly Clan Leader’s explanation, Chu Feng and the others finally learned what kind of place it was.
This secret realm was also located within the Nine Souls Galaxy, though in a different starfield.
It was a place called the Daylight Star River.
This so-called Daylight Star River was actually just a river, but legend said starlight shimmered within it, resembling a galaxy, hence the beautiful name.
Deep within the Daylight Star River lay an undercurrent.
That undercurrent contained extremely dense heaven-and-earth energy. That was the cultivation ground.
However, only juniors could enter the undercurrent, and it required activation.
The reason such dense heaven-and-earth energy gathered there was because it collected the very essence of the Daylight Star River.
As time passed, the energy accumulated within the undercurrent grew stronger and stronger.
It was said that every hundred years, the power within the undercurrent reached its peak.
That was the most suitable time for cultivation.
However, there were still several years remaining until the next hundred-year peak.
In other words, the heaven-and-earth energy inside the Daylight Star River undercurrent had not yet reached its zenith.
This was why the Yu Heavenly Clan members felt reluctant when they learned their clan leader was willing to share this cultivation secret realm.
They had originally planned to wait until the Daylight Star River reached its peak before letting their juniors cultivate there.
Yet the biggest reason for their reluctance was that this cultivation secret realm had always been an exclusive training ground for Yu Heavenly Clan juniors.
Sharing it now meant it would no longer be solely theirs. In the future, the Dragon Clan, Cloud Void Immortal Sect, and All Demons Sacred Palace would surely send their own juniors to cultivate there as well.
Naturally, the Yu Heavenly Clan members were unwilling.
What they did not know was that their clan leader had his own motives for doing this.
He wanted Chu Feng to see him as a magnanimous person.
Magnanimous enough to share such an important cultivation secret realm with everyone.
In short, he wished to leave a good impression on Chu Feng.
For the sake of that good impression alone, he was willing to pay any price.
