It has been a full eleven hours since Chu Feng activated the Bloodline Altar.
All the younger generation who entered the Bloodline Altar, except for Chu Feng, have already come out.
Unless one ventures deep into the Bloodline Altar, it is impossible to stay inside for an extended period.
The duration one can stay is actually related to their individual talent. Those with weaker talent might be forcibly teleported out after just one hour.
Even those with the strongest talent, like Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu, were forcibly teleported out after five hours.
However, even someone like Chu Feng, who can enter the depths of the Bloodline Altar, is subject to a time limit.
This time limit is twelve hours.
After twelve hours, Chu Feng will also be forcibly teleported out.
In just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the twelfth hour will arrive.
At this moment, everyone is waiting for that moment.
When Chu Feng emerges from the Bloodline Altar and the altar closes, the eight Bloodline Cultivation Arrays may be activated.
Of course, given Chu Feng’s talent, everyone is confident that he will successfully activate the Bloodline Cultivation Arrays.
The only uncertainty is how many of them he will be able to activate.
Regardless of the number, it will reflect the strength of Chu Feng’s talent.
“Brother Bailong, it’s rare to see you so nervous.”
“Are you scared? If you are, I can pretend you never said anything.” The Starry Sage looked at the White Dragon Demon Taoist with a teasing smile.
“Scared? The word ‘scared’ doesn’t exist in my life.”
“Brother Starry, you better watch closely. This whisk is in my hand, and if Chu Feng can activate four Bloodline Cultivation Arrays, it’s yours.” The White Dragon Demon Taoist said with a smirk.
“Good, it’s a deal then.” The Starry Sage replied with a smile.
“Look, it’s Chu Feng!”
Suddenly, someone pointed at the exit of the Bloodline Altar and shouted.
At this moment, everyone present became tense, including the Starry Sage and the White Dragon Demon Taoist.
Because Chu Feng had indeed emerged from the Bloodline Altar.
As Chu Feng stepped out, the gates of the Bloodline Altar closed.
Following that, the surging lightning above the Bloodline Altar began to dissipate.
Although the lightning surrounding the Bloodline Altar did not completely vanish, it had dimmed significantly compared to before.
At this moment, many in the crowd held their breath.
The air was thick with tension.
They all knew that the critical moment had arrived.
With Chu Feng’s exit, the Bloodline Altar had completely closed, and the next step was the activation of the Bloodline Cultivation Arrays.
Chu Feng, the son of Chu Xuanyuan, how many Bloodline Cultivation Arrays could he activate?
What kind of talent did he truly possess?
At this moment, everyone was filled with anticipation.
Not only were they eager, but Chu Feng himself was also looking forward to it. After stepping out of the Bloodline Altar, he immediately soared into the air to witness everything up close.
However, as time passed, although the lightning above the Bloodline Altar had not completely dissipated, the eight Bloodline Cultivation Arrays showed no reaction.
At first, people thought that activating the eight Bloodline Arrays naturally required some time.
But after an anxious wait of another incense stick’s worth of time, the eight Bloodline Cultivation Arrays still showed no sign of activation.
“Brother Chu, how long does it normally take to activate the Bloodline Cultivation Arrays?” The impatient White Dragon Demon Taoist asked the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
“Based on past experiences, once the person who opened the Bloodline Altar steps out, the activated Bloodline Cultivation Arrays should react immediately,” the Patriarch replied.
“And what about Chu Feng’s situation?” the White Dragon Demon Taoist inquired.
“Chu Feng’s situation seems to be somewhat different from the past,” the Patriarch said.
“Different? Brother Chu, don’t try to comfort Chu Feng. It’s clear that he gained nothing and didn’t activate a single Bloodline Cultivation Array,” the White Dragon Demon Taoist suddenly laughed.
“What? Chu Feng didn’t activate even a single Bloodline Cultivation Array?”
His words caused an uproar among the previously quiet crowd.
Everyone began to discuss fervently.
Could it be that Chu Feng really didn’t activate a single Bloodline Cultivation Array?
But that shouldn’t be the case. Not to mention Chu Feng’s grandfather and father, even Chu Xuanzhengfa activated one Bloodline Cultivation Array in his time.
Could it be that Chu Feng is inferior even to Chu Xuanzhengfa?
The descendant of a peerless genius, the strongest of this generation, has fallen so low?
Is the gap between this generation and the last really that vast?
But Chu Feng had once ascended the Heavenly Thunder Platform.
“Brother Starry, it seems you won’t be getting my whisk. But don’t blame me; it’s just that Chu Xuanyuan’s son is too disappointing, hahaha.”
“How dull, how dull. Brother Chu, I’ll take my leave now.”
The White Dragon Demon Taoist laughed mockingly as he walked away from the forbidden area.
“Brother Chu, I shall take my leave as well.”
The Starry Sage clasped his hands towards the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan and then turned to leave.
Although he had no issues with Chu Feng and had indeed been optimistic about him, being ridiculed by the White Dragon Demon Taoist seemed to have left the renowned sage feeling quite uncomfortable.
These two were esteemed guests, so the Patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan and Chu Hanpeng hurried to personally see them off.
After the two dignitaries and the Patriarch left, the crowd continued to discuss, but they also kept their eyes on the Bloodline Altar, hoping for a miracle.
However, after another full incense stick’s worth of time, the Bloodline Altar still showed no reaction.
By this time, the members of the Chu Heavenly Clan were in complete uproar.
As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Especially those who were preparing to enter the Bloodline Cultivation Arrays for secluded cultivation were feeling somewhat disgruntled.
Gradually, some unpleasant comments began to surface in the crowd.
“Quiet down!”
Suddenly, a stern shout rang out; it was Chu Xuanzhengfa.
His command indeed brought the already boiling crowd to a temporary silence.
“Chu Feng, what happened? Did you not enter the depths of the Bloodline Altar?”
At this moment, Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu approached Chu Feng, concerned.
“I did enter,” Chu Feng replied.
“This…”
Hearing Chu Feng’s response, Chu Huanyu and Chu Haoyan were at a loss for words.
“Chu Feng, did you perhaps comprehend the power of bloodline and thus gave up on comprehending the path of martial cultivation?”
Behind Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu, another voice spoke up; it was Chu Xuanzhengfa.
“Elder, I chose the power of bloodline,” Chu Feng answered truthfully.
“Silly child, you can only enter the Bloodline Altar once in your lifetime. How could you take such a risk?” Chu Xuanzhengfa expressed both helplessness and regret for Chu Feng.
“Deputy Hall Master, what is the relationship between the power of bloodline and the path of martial cultivation?” Chu Huanyu asked curiously.
“Upon entering the Bloodline Altar, those with lesser talent can only comprehend the path of martial cultivation, while those with greater talent can comprehend both the path of martial cultivation and the power of bloodline.”
“The path of martial cultivation within the Bloodline Altar is extremely powerful. Comprehending it would surely lead to rapid advancement in cultivation. With Chu Feng’s talent, comprehending the path of martial cultivation would have brought him great gains.”
“However, comprehending the power of bloodline, while it can enhance one’s control over bloodline power, is extremely difficult to achieve,” Chu Xuanzhengfa explained.
“So that’s how it is.”
Now, Chu Huanyu, Chu Haoyan, and everyone present understood why Chu Feng hadn’t activated a single Bloodline Cultivation Array. It wasn’t due to a lack of talent, but rather a misstep in his choice.
In fact, Chu Xuanzhengfa publicly explained this matter to give Chu Feng a way to save face.
He wanted everyone to understand that Chu Feng’s lack of activation wasn’t due to insufficient talent, but rather a mistake in choice.
Although the mistake in choice was Chu Feng’s own responsibility, it was still better than having everyone doubt his talent.
