As Bai Liluo’s condition stabilized…
Chu Feng employed the curse-breaking techniques he had learned in the Samsara Upper Realm to try and lift the curse on Bai Liluo.
However, to his surprise, the curse was far more formidable than he had anticipated, leaving him helpless.
This frustrated Chu Feng greatly.
He had witnessed firsthand how Bai Liluo suffered under the curse’s torment.
He didn’t want her to live the rest of her life plagued by it.
“It’s fine, don’t worry.”
“This curse has been with me for so long, don’t I know my own condition?”
“It hasn’t flared up in a long time, not even during critical moments of my secluded cultivation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to cultivate so smoothly.”
“Besides, my significant progress in cultivation is thanks to that black-furred phantom.”
“Though I haven’t fully refined it, I’ve gained immense benefits from it.”
“So, I need to continue my seclusion. I can’t miss this opportunity. If that power dissipates from my body, it’d be a huge loss.”
“I must make that black-furred phantom’s lingering power my own before it fades.”
“As for the Chu Heavenly Clan, don’t worry. I can sense what’s happening outside. If there’s real danger, I won’t stand by and do nothing.”
“When the clan leader was in trouble earlier, I came out of seclusion. But seeing you return, I went back to it immediately.”
Bai Liluo said to Chu Feng.
“Sister Liluo, I’ll handle the clan’s matters, so you don’t need to worry.”
“Since your situation is so critical, don’t waste time. Go back to your seclusion.”
Chu Feng urged.
With that, Bai Liluo resumed her seclusion.
As for the matter with the Lanfu Clan, the Chu Heavenly Clan was naturally curious.
Bai Liluo had clearly had the upper hand, but after a sudden voice, both she and Chu Feng were sealed.
When the seal lifted, not only was the speaker nowhere to be seen, but the blue-robed figure who threatened to annihilate the Chu Heavenly Clan had also vanished.
What had happened in between was a mystery that intrigued the Chu Heavenly Clan’s leader and others.
But Chu Feng didn’t tell them, honoring his promise to Lanfu Longping.
Seeing Chu Feng’s reluctance to speak, the clan leader and others didn’t press further.
To them, as long as Chu Feng and Bai Liluo were safe, that was enough.
In the days that followed, Chu Feng also entered seclusion for a time.
He tried to refine the Divine Tree Seed within his body.
He also attempted to communicate with the swift divine deer.
Chu Feng knew that refining the Divine Tree Seed would boost his cultivation.
As for the divine deer, if he could master it, it would be a life-saving asset.
But without exception, he failed.
He couldn’t refine the Divine Tree Seed, nor could he communicate with the divine deer.
Soon, the day to head to the Purple Star Hall arrived.
The Chu Heavenly Clan had prepared well for this grand event.
The clan leader, Chu Hanpeng, along with many experts, would attend.
Only Chu Xuanzhengfa and the Punishment Hall members stayed behind to guard the clan.
Of course, relying solely on them wouldn’t suffice to protect the Chu Heavenly Clan.
But with Bai Liluo in seclusion there, the clan felt at ease.
Their concern wasn’t the clan’s safety but rather the risk of disturbing Bai Liluo’s seclusion, especially after seeing the backlash she suffered from interrupting it.
They didn’t want to burden her because of their issues.
…
Although the Chu Heavenly Clan’s leader didn’t want Chu Feng to join them, when Chu Feng did set out with them, the leader’s mood visibly brightened.
As Chu Hanpeng put it, it had been a long time since he’d seen the clan leader smile so happily.
Throughout the journey, the clan leader’s face was adorned with a joyful grin.
Everyone knew why he was so delighted.
It was because of Chu Feng.
When Chu Feng first returned to the Great Thousand Upper Realm, most of the Chu Heavenly Clan rejected and even looked down on him.
But the clan leader had always believed in and protected Chu Feng.
Now, Chu Feng’s achievements proved the old leader’s judgment was right.
Chu Feng was indeed the hope of the Chu Heavenly Clan, the one who brought them today’s glory.
After some time in the ancient teleportation array, Chu Feng and the Chu Heavenly Clan’s forces finally arrived at the world where the Purple Star Hall resided.
The Purple Star Upper Realm!!!
This place wasn’t named the Purple Star Upper Realm because the Purple Star Hall controlled it.
In fact, the name predated the Purple Star Hall by a long time.
Even the Purple Star Hall’s name came from the Purple Star Upper Realm.
In ancient times, this place was already called the Purple Star Upper Realm.
The reason was a unique cultivation plant found here: the Purple Star Vine Flower.
This flower was a cultivation resource.
It could only survive in the soil of the Purple Star Upper Realm.
If taken elsewhere, it would die instantly.
Moreover, the Purple Star Vine Flower couldn’t be cultivated artificially.
It grew naturally, and its growth locations varied each year.
Most importantly, in the Purple Star Upper Realm, only the Purple Star Hall had the right to use it.
Other forces or martial cultivators unaffiliated with the Purple Star Hall faced execution if they dared use the flower for cultivation.
Of course, finding the Purple Star Vine Flower wasn’t easy.
It had the characteristics of a heavenly treasure, capable of hiding itself.
Even when hidden, one could walk over it without sensing its presence.
Unless one was an exceptionally perceptive World Spiritist, only the Purple Star Hall’s Purple Star Mirror could locate the flowers.
The invitation from the Purple Star Hall to the Chu Heavenly Clan mentioned a gift.
This gift required the Chu Heavenly Clan to find it themselves.
That gift was the Purple Star Vine Flower.
The invitation stated that during their stay in the Purple Star Upper Realm, if the Chu Heavenly Clan was fortunate enough to find a Purple Star Vine Flower, they could refine it for cultivation.
However, there was a limit: only one chance.
If they refined the first flower they found, they couldn’t touch a second one.
Naturally, if they failed to find any, they’d miss out on this generous gift, as the Purple Star Hall wouldn’t hand over a prepared flower.
By sheer coincidence, as soon as Chu Feng stepped out of the teleportation array, he spotted a sea of Purple Star Vine Flowers.
A vast sea of them!!!
