It was inevitable that Chu Feng would reminisce about the past with the Four Symbols Divine Beasts.
That said, Chu Feng merely reminisced for a short while. After all, he had an urgent matter that he must take care of.
Meanwhile, Grandmaster Liangqiu was still watching the sky attentively. He was still watching the image of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts.
âWoosh~~~â
Suddenly, the Four Symbols Divine Beasts in the sky began to change. Soon, the golden light that filled the sky began to enter Chu Fengâs body.
That region finally began to return to normal.
As for Chu Feng, he opened his eyes.
âChu Feng, your cultivation.â
At the instant Chu Feng opened his eyes, Grandmaster Liangqiu revealed a look of shock.
The reason for that was because Chu Fengâs cultivation was no longer that of a rank three Exalted. Instead, it was that of a rank five Exalted.
Chu Feng actually managed to make two successive breakthroughs without actually causing any Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.
This meant that Chu Fengâs breakthrough in cultivation was unrelated to his bloodline power.
If it was unrelated to his bloodline power, there could only be one possible explanation. Likely, this was the benefit Chu Feng obtained from fusing with his Divine Power.
âSenior, Iâve succeeded," Chu Feng said to Grandmaster Liangqiu with a wide smile on his face. Then, he looked to the Ox-nosed Old Daoist and bowed respectfully. âThank you senior.â
Compared to Grandmaster Liangqiuâs excitement and joy, the Ox-nosed Old Daoist reacted rather calm and collected. It was as if he had anticipated it all.
âDonât bother thanking me. If you really want to repay me, itâs better that you do it with actions," said the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
âSenior, if thereâs anything that you need this juniorâs assistance with, please do not hesitate to tell me,â said Chu Feng.
âThere is indeed one thing that I need your help with."
As the Ox-nosed Old Daoist said those words, he looked to Grandmaster Liangqiu and revealed a vile smile on his face.
âCough, cough...â
âOld thing, if you want me to leave, just say it.â
Grandmaster Liangqiu understood the Ox-nosed Old Daoistâs intention and rolled his eyes at him. Then, he looked to Chu Feng. âChu Feng, this old man will wait for you at the Ancient Eraâs Teleportation Formation.â
After he finished saying those words, Grandmaster Liangqiu leapt forth and flew towards the the Ancient Eraâs Teleportation Formation.
After Grandmaster Liangqiu left, only Chu Feng and the Ox-nosed Old Daoist remained.
âSenior, what matter could this junior help you with?â asked Chu Feng.
âI have an old friend in the All-heaven Starfield.â
âWhile that old friend of mine is a friend, he is also an old enemy. Thus, the two of us have an agreement.â
âWe will each take on a disciple and nurture that person. When the time is right, he will send forth his disciple to challenge me. I, on the other hand, will send forth my disciple to challenge him.â
âIf my disciple successfully defeats his, it would mean that Iâve won.â
âIf his disciple successfully defeats mine, it would mean that he has won.â
âIf our disciples fail to defeat each other, it would mean that weâve tied.â
âHowever, as Iâve been unable to find a suitable disciple the entire time, weâve been unable to honor this agreement.â
âNow that I have you as my disciple, you should help me finish this agreement.â
âAfter you finish settling your dispute with the Linghu Heavenly Clan, go to the All-heaven Starfield.â
âThat is the place where that old codger is located. Once you reach that place, just inform him that youâre the Ox-nosed Old Daoistâs disciple,â the Ox-nosed Old Daoist said as he tossed a map to Chu Feng.
âBut senior, this junior is not your disciple,â said Chu Feng.
âWhatâs this? You spoke as if you would help me with anything earlier, yet now youâre refusing to help me with something this minor?â
âEven if you do not wish to become this old manâs disciple, you can pretend to be this old manâs disciple. You can do that, no?â
âThis old man has not accepted a single disciple in all these years. It is not that this old man cannot find a disciple, itâs simply that my requirements are too high.â
âHowever, that old codger felt that itâs because this old man is incompetent. He felt that itâs because this old man is unable to get anyone to become his disciple. Iâve been ridiculed by him for many hundreds of years because of this matter.â
âYou should also know how much this old man cares about his reputation. Yet, Iâve been ridiculed for so many years.â
âHow could I possibly tolerate this?â
The Ox-nosed Old Daoist narrowed his brows and was looking at Chu Feng with glaring wide eyes.
From his look, it seemed like Chu Feng would be extremely disgraceful and unfilial should he refuse to agree to help him.
Helpless, Chu Feng agreed to it, âVery well. Senior, this junior will help you with that.â
âAfter this junior is finished with taking care of the matter with the Linghu Heavenly Clan, I will immediately proceed for the All-heaven Starfield.â
âThatâs more like it.â
Seeing that Chu Feng had agreed to help, the Ox-nosed Old Daoistâs expression immediately changed. He not only took back his look of anger, but he even smiled gleefully.
âThat said, senior, how are you so confident in this junior?â
âWhat this junior is planning to challenge is the Linghu Heavenly Clan.â
âHow are you so certain that this junior will be able to return safe and alive?â asked Chu Feng.
âItâs merely a Linghu Heavenly Clan, what is there to fear?â
âIf youâre unable to even handle them, youâll be unqualified to be this old manâs disciple.â
âChu Feng, remember this. The disciple of this old man is someone who will stand atop the Holy Light Galaxy, stand atop the vast martial cultivation world.â
âIf a small place like the Ancestral Martial Starfield is capable of restraining you, even if you want to become this old manâs disciple in the future, I will not accept you,â said the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
âSenior, judging from your tone, the Ancestral Martial Starfield is an extremely weak place?â asked Chu Feng.
âThatâs precisely so,â said the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
âIn that case senior, how does the Ancestral Martial Starfield compared to all the starfields of the Holy Light Galaxy?â Chu Feng asked with great curiosity.
Even though Chu Feng had learned about the structure of the Ancestral Martial Starfield, he was still very unfamiliar with the Holy Light Galaxy.
Even though he was in the Holy Light Galaxy, it remained an unknown place to him.
It was unknown, mysterious and dangerous. Yet... it also gave off an enormous sense of enticement.
âHow does the Ancestral Martial Starfield compare?â
âIn the Holy Light Galaxy, the status of the Ancestral Martial Starfield is akin to the status of the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realmâs Ancestral Martial Lower Realm,â said the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
The Ancestral Martial Lower Realm could not even compare to the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. How could it possibly compare to the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm?
Thus, the Ox-nosed Old Daoistâs words had revealed to Chu Feng how enormous the disparity between the Ancestral Martial Starfield and the top starfields of the Holy Light Galaxy was.
That said, Chu Feng was feeling slightly skeptical. Thus, he asked, âBeing all starfields, could the disparity really be that vast?â
âOf course itâll be vast. There are a total of ninety-six starfields in the Holy Light Galaxy.â
âAmong them, fifty are known as Lower Starfields.â
âThirty are Middle Starfields.â
âAnd six are Upper Starfields.â
âFrom their names, you should know the disparity between the starfields, no?â said the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
âI am able to have a rough idea,â Chu Feng nodded. However, he soon asked, âIn that case, what about the remaining ten starfields?â
âThe final ten starfields, due to being too weak, are known as the Abandoned Starfields.â
âThose ten starfields are unqualified to even participate in the gathering for the grand occasions of the Holy Light Galaxy. As for the Ancestral Martial Starfield, it is the weakest of of the ten Abandoned Starfields,â said the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
