“Nothing?”
Chu Feng was somewhat panicked, thinking that the spirit beast had disappeared. He quickly turned to look at the Spirit Beast Treasure Map and found that the spirit beast was still there.
“Senior, can’t you see the spirit beast?” Chu Feng asked.
“I can’t see it,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan shook his head.
“But it’s clearly right here?” Chu Feng looked again at the Spirit Beast Treasure Map, where the spirit beast was vividly depicted on the paper.
“I understand now, this Spirit Beast Treasure Map has recognised you as its master. Only you can see it. Aside from you… not to mention me, I’m afraid no one else can see it.”
“This Spirit Beast Treasure Map truly lives up to its reputation. Such a treasure is indeed miraculous.” After a moment of reflection, the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan also asked, “What is recorded on it, can you understand it?”
“It should be the location of a secret realm. Besides the map, there are some other instructions, but I haven’t fully comprehended them yet. By the way, senior, is the Upper Realm of Chi Zhou far?” Chu Feng asked.
“The Upper Realm of Chi Zhou is not far; it’s also in the eastern part of the Ancestral Martial Star Domain.”
“Could it be that the secret realm recorded on the Spirit Beast Treasure Map is in the Upper Realm of Chi Zhou?” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan asked.
“Yes, senior,” Chu Feng nodded.
“Speaking of which, I have some acquaintance with the Patriarch of the Wuma Heavenly Clan. However… acquaintance aside, that old fellow is quite stingy. If we’re to take something from his territory, it’s best not to be discovered by him,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan said.
“Wuma Heavenly Clan?” Hearing this, Chu Feng’s expression changed slightly, and then he asked, “Is the Upper Realm of Chi Zhou the territory of the Wuma Heavenly Clan?”
“Yes, it is,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan said.
“This is really a case of enemies crossing paths.”
Chu Feng couldn’t help but sigh.
Back in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, Chu Feng, due to the grand formation within him, could perceive everything.
Not long after he drove the Linghu Heavenly Clan out of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, he discovered that Wuma Shengjie had left the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World.
Presumably, she had returned to her own clan.
And now, with the Spirit Beast Treasure Map activated, Chu Feng would definitely have to make a trip to the Upper Realm of Chi Zhou for the sake of the secret realm.
Although Chu Feng would go secretly, not exposing himself, and it was highly unlikely he would encounter Wuma Shengjie.
But still, the thought of appearing in the same upper realm again made Chu Feng find it quite interesting.
“Speaking of which, the Wuma Heavenly Clan has also produced a genius in recent years, who seems to have been cultivating in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World. Have you met him?” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan asked.
“Wuma Shengjie, right?” Chu Feng said.
“Exactly, it seems you have met,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan said.
“More than just met,” Chu Feng couldn’t help but laugh with a hint of nostalgia.
“It seems there was some friction between you, but that’s actually normal. Young people are all high-spirited, especially in a place like the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World.”
“By the way, Chu Feng, since you’ve met, what do you think of Wuma Shengjie?” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan asked.
“Her strength is formidable, and her talent is also impressive. If I hadn’t obtained the cultivation resources left by my grandfather and taken a shortcut, it might not have been me who defeated the Linghu Heavenly Clan to dominate the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World,” Chu Feng said.
His words were not praise, but a genuine feeling that Wuma Shengjie was indeed somewhat terrifying.
If Chu Feng hadn’t gained the power of the formation, it would only have been a matter of time before Wuma Shengjie surpassed Linghu Tiemian.
“To receive such an evaluation from you, it’s clear that Wuma Shengjie is indeed not simple.”
“Some time ago, the Heavenly Machine Sage made a prophecy, predicting that a peerless genius would emerge in the eastern part of the Ancestral Martial Star Domain. This individual would progress rapidly and could rival the top genius of the Linghu Heavenly Clan, Linghu Hongfei.”
“The Heavenly Machine Sage also prophesied that this individual and Linghu Hongfei are destined to have a battle,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan said.
“I’ve heard about this in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World. It’s rumoured that outsiders speculate Wuma Shengjie is that person,” Chu Feng said.
“Indeed, although Wuma Shengjie has not participated in the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars competition, her talent has already been recognised by all sides. So when this peerless genius was prophesied, the first person everyone thought of was Wuma Shengjie.”
“Chu Feng, what do you think about this?” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan asked.
“I’ve also heard of Linghu Hongfei’s reputation. Not only is he the leader of the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars, but his strength far surpasses the second place in the Ancestral Martial Ten Stars. He is considered the top genius of the current Ancestral Martial Star Domain, and some even believe that Linghu Hongfei’s talent surpasses that of my father,” Chu Feng said.
“Indeed,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan nodded.
“Then, senior, do you think Linghu Hongfei’s talent is really that terrifying?” Chu Feng asked.
“I have indeed met Linghu Hongfei. This young man is truly a dragon among men, and his reputation as the top genius of the current Ancestral Martial Star Domain is well-deserved. But compared to your father…”
At this point, the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan did not continue, but he smiled and shook his head.
His meaning was already clear.
“I haven’t seen my father in his youth, but I have heard of his deeds. I also think that Linghu Hongfei is not worthy of being compared to my father.”
“And back when my father was famous throughout the Ancestral Martial Star Domain, many people knew of his achievements. No matter how you compare, Linghu Hongfei is not as good as my father. I don’t understand how there could be a saying that Linghu Hongfei would surpass my father,” Chu Feng said with some indignation.
Mainly because his father’s past deeds were so extraordinary that no one could compare, yet those people said someone inferior to his father was better than him, which naturally made Chu Feng unhappy.
Isn’t this just talking nonsense with eyes wide open?
“The world of cultivators is also full of deceitful people.”
“The high praise that Linghu Hongfei receives, aside from a small portion of people who are truly foolish, is mainly because his backing is the Linghu Heavenly Clan, his family… makes people flatter him,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan said.
“Sigh…” Chu Feng couldn’t help but sigh, because he felt that the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan was right.
“You haven’t said what you think about this prophesied battle,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan asked.
“I don’t know exactly how strong Linghu Hongfei is.”
“But I have not only met Wuma Shengjie, I have also fought with her. Although the current Wuma Shengjie is not as good as Linghu Hongfei, I think Wuma Shengjie has the potential to catch up in the future,” Chu Feng said.
“I’m asking, do you think the speculation that Wuma Shengjie is the prophesied child is accurate?” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan asked.
“I’m not sure,” Chu Feng said.
“Compared to your uncertainty, I think this speculation is completely wrong,” the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan said.
“Senior, why do you think so?” Chu Feng asked.
“Because the prophesied child is clearly right in front of me.”
The Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan looked at Chu Feng with a smile, his eyes filled with anticipation.
