“Truly unexpected that such a small stone has allowed you to cultivate for so long.”
“My dear Dan Dan, not hearing your voice by my ear, I really feel an indescribable loneliness.”
Chu Feng, slightly intoxicated, approached Dan Dan and reached out to caress her stunningly beautiful face.
But just before touching her, his hand suddenly stopped and slowly lowered.
At this moment, Chu Feng looked at Dan Dan and awkwardly smiled.
In daily life, Chu Feng and Dan Dan had many intimate moments.
However, when Dan Dan was unconscious, Chu Feng felt it wasn’t right to do so.
In terms of relationships, it’s hard to find a second person in the world as close to Chu Feng as Dan Dan.
Even his beloved Zi Ling, in some aspects, couldn’t compare to Dan Dan.
After all, Dan Dan had been with Chu Feng from the very beginning, guiding him as both a teacher and a friend, and protecting him at the risk of her own life.
Chu Feng had come from the Qinglong Sect in the Lower Realm of Ancestral Martial, and in the blink of an eye, he had traveled so many places, broken through so many levels of cultivation, surpassed so many people, and experienced so many dangers.
Whether they were benefactors, friends, or enemies.
The people around Chu Feng were constantly changing, but only Dan Dan had always been by his side.
This kind of emotion was truly profound.
In terms of family, Dan Dan was definitely one of Chu Feng’s closest.
Yet, the relationship between Dan Dan and Chu Feng was also subtle.
So subtle that when Dan Dan was awake, Chu Feng dared to do anything.
But when Dan Dan was unconscious, Chu Feng felt it was inappropriate to touch her.
“Little girl, don’t let this long slumber be in vain. I hope you can become stronger than me. I don’t need you to protect me, I just don’t want you to waste your talent by my side.”
At this point, a deep sense of guilt emerged in Chu Feng’s eyes.
Chu Feng never doubted Dan Dan’s talent. It was just that being sealed within Chu Feng’s body and the residual power of the sealing boundary left by Chu Feng’s mother greatly limited Dan Dan’s talent.
Even though Dan Dan had such terrifyingly amazing combat power, her progress in cultivation was not very fast.
This made Chu Feng feel guilty. If it weren’t for him, Dan Dan’s cultivation would definitely not be at its current level.
After a moment of truth, Chu Feng projected his consciousness back into his own body.
But just as he returned to his body, Chu Feng’s expression changed, and he looked towards his Qiankun bag.
An item inside his Qiankun bag had undergone a change.
It was… the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map.
This Spiritual Beast Treasure Map was a treasure of great value.
It was said that there were only eight such Spiritual Beast Treasure Maps in the entire Ancestral Martial Star Domain.
Before the one in Chu Feng’s hands, six of these Spiritual Beast Treasure Maps had already appeared.
Each of those six maps recorded a previously undiscovered secret realm, within which lay legendary treasures.
The one in Chu Feng’s hands was the seventh to appear.
It was obtained at an auction held by the Ghost Sect Hall.
To be honest, it wasn’t obtained by Chu Feng through his own efforts, but was gifted to him by the clan leader of the Phantom Blood Clan.
However, according to the reminder from the master of the Ghost Sect Hall, this Spiritual Beast Treasure Map wasn’t something that just any spiritist could open. To unlock it, one needed a certain fate.
Those without the fate might never be able to open it in their lifetime, while those with the fate might unlock the map and find the secret realm and treasures as soon as they got their hands on it.
Unfortunately, Chu Feng had had this Spiritual Beast Treasure Map for some time, but had never been able to unlock it.
Unexpectedly, today it showed signs of activity.
Chu Feng was overjoyed at this moment, because he knew that the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map wouldn’t show such activity for no reason.
Chu Feng hurriedly took out the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map, and when he opened it, the scroll of the map shone brightly.
The dazzling light caused Chu Feng’s eyes to sting.
But the light only appeared for a moment before disappearing.
When Chu Feng looked at the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map again, he found that it was completely empty, as if it were just a blank scroll.
At this moment, Chu Feng’s heart tightened. Could it be that his Spiritual Beast Treasure Map was a fake?
But the next moment, Chu Feng’s eyes suddenly stung intensely, so much so that he couldn’t open them, as if they had been injured by the previous strong light.
This situation lasted for a while before it eased.
When Chu Feng opened his eyes again, he found that the originally empty Spiritual Beast Treasure Map now had a spiritual beast on it.
The spiritual beast was so lifelike that it even moved.
It was as if it were a real creature.
It kept moving around on the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map, and Chu Feng could immediately see that the special patterns on the spiritual beast’s body were actually a map.
After some thought, Chu Feng vaguely deduced that the map pointed to a place called the Upper Realm of Chi Zhou.
“The Upper Realm of Chi Zhou, is this where the secret realm of the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map is located?”
“Haha, my Spiritual Beast Treasure Map has really opened. Heaven is really helping me.”
At this moment, Chu Feng was ecstatic. He clearly understood that the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map had been unlocked, and the place recorded on the map should be a secret realm.
Chu Feng had just come out of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World and was unsure where to go for cultivation when the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map opened. This was simply fate.
“Knock knock knock…”
At this moment, Chu Feng suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of his hall.
Chu Feng instinctively looked over, and as his eyes changed, all the walls in front of him became transparent, including the hall door, which immediately disappeared.
At this moment, Chu Feng could clearly see the situation outside the hall door.
When Chu Feng saw the person knocking on the door, he quickly got up and opened the door as fast as he could.
As the door opened, he immediately performed a grand salute.
Because the person standing outside Chu Feng’s hall door was the strongest person in the current Chu Clan, the clan leader of the Chu Clan.
“Ah, there’s no need for such courtsey.”
Before Chu Feng could complete his salute, the clan leader stopped him and then walked into the palace.
“Senior, when did you return?” Chu Feng asked with joy.
“Just returned.” The clan leader said.
“Chu Feng, I heard you’ve reached the fifth-grade Martial Immortal, it turns out to be true.”
“So, the events in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World are also true.”
“You truly haven’t disappointed me, you’re even more outstanding than I expected.”
The clan leader looked at Chu Feng with a face full of smiles, his eyes filled with pride.
It seemed he already knew about Chu Feng’s deeds in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World.
“That’s all thanks to my grandfather and father, I’m just reaping the benefits.” Chu Feng said.
“You kid, no need to be modest in front of me.” The Chu Clan leader said with a laugh, then he looked at the scroll in Chu Feng’s hand and asked, “Is this the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map?”
“Senior, you came at just the right time, my Spiritual Beast Treasure Map has opened.” Chu Feng said.
“Oh?” Hearing this, the Chu Clan leader’s eyes also lit up, and he turned his gaze to the Spiritual Beast Treasure Map.
But after looking at it, the Chu Clan leader’s eyes moved, and he said in surprise:
“This… why is there nothing on it?”
