âIâll have to draw it out?â Chu Feng asked.
âYouâre the one who awakened the Genesis Bloodline. Who else but you?â Liu Kuo asked.
âCould the Nine Heavensâ Zenith be related to the Genesis Bloodline?â Chu Feng asked.
âSpot-on, Brother Chu Feng. The Genesis Bloodline is the reason the Nine Heavensâ Zenith is hosted here this time around.â
âAre you looking to awaken the Genesis Bloodline?â
âYouâre thinking too much. We donât have the power to do that. Even my master is only serving the Nine Heavensâ Zenith, let alone me. We can control a portion of the Nine Heavensâ Zenithâs formation, but we donât know whatâs going on at a deeper level. Everything that happens here is the will of the Nine Heavensâ Zenith; we are just carrying out its orders. Even the assessment formation in the cultivation ground is not a trial prepared by me and my master; it was from the Nine Heavensâ Zenith,â Liu Kuo said.
âAre there other people in the Nine Heavensâ Zenith, or is the Nine Heavensâ Zenith itself sentient? I donât know much about the Nine Heavensâ Zenith,â Chu Feng said.
âIt was by coincidence that my master stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter and came to the Nine Heavensâ Zenith. Itâs unknown whether me and my junior can continue staying in the Nine Heavensâ Zenith after my master leaves.
âTo be honest, I donât know much about the Nine Heavensâ Zenith. I only know that there is an extremely powerful formation here. We do benefit from staying at the Nine Heavensâ Zenith, and we can grasp a portion of the formationâs power, but we donât know much other than that.
âHowever, my master did tell me he suspects that the Nine Heavensâ Zenith has specifically chosen this place due to the Genesis Bloodline. I didnât think he would get it right. Of course, Brother Chu Feng, you also played a huge role in this too. If not for you, I doubt anyone could have awakened the Genesis Bloodline even if the Nine Heavensâ Zenith commences,â Liu Kuo said.
At this point, Liu Kuo suddenly turned to Chu Feng and asked, âDo you know why there are no records about the Genesis Bloodlineâs effects?â
âWhy?â Chu Feng asked.
âIn the ancient records, itâs said that a large group of a thousand people, comprising powerful cultivators and world spiritists, came together to awaken the Genesis Bloodline. The Soul Fog can be used by multiple people, but the Genesis Bloodline only recognizes one person. Thus, they came to an agreement that whoever wins the Genesis Bloodlineâs recognition will receive it.
âThey did manage to awaken the Genesis Bloodline, but none of them was able to conquer it. Naturally, no one knows what the power of the Genesis Bloodline was. They could only fathom a guess about it,â Liu Kuo explained.
âThe Genesis Bloodline has quite the personality,â Chu Feng remarked.
âIt does, which is why youâll have to work hard, Brother Chu Feng. If you conquer the Genesis Bloodline, Iâll follow you from this day onward. Screw Godâs Era and everything else. Itâs just a matter of time before the person who has the Genesis Bloodlineâs recognition becomes the strongest person in the world. Even those from the Ancient Era canât compete,â Liu Kuo said.
âIâll do my best, but what do I have to do?â Chu Feng asked.
He didnât want to miss this fortuitous encounter, but he had no idea what he had to do since he knew next to nothing about the Genesis Bloodline.
âHow am I supposed to know? What do you think?â Liu Kuo replied.
âSince the Nine Heavensâ Zenith has commenced, Iâd guess that the secret lies in the trials weâll be undergoing next,â Chu Feng deduced.
âThatâs possible, but thereâs no guarantee thatâs it,â Liu Kuo replied.
âWeâll see. Iâll pay attention to it.â
âKeep an eye on the five Huangfus too.â
They had openly chatted about the Genesis Bloodline as they were the only ones here but for some reason, Liu Kuo switched to voice transmission upon mentioning the Huangfu Heavenly Clan.
âYou know something about them?â Chu Feng replied via voice transmission.
He had previously heard from the Totem Dragon Clan that a Heavenly God level cultivator had once wreaked havoc in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, and he suspected that person was from the same Huangfu Heavenly Clan as the five Huangfus.
The ancient cultivators were still alive in the present era, but they were trapped underground or in some kind of forbidden land or remnant. They werenât allowed to freely roam the world like the cultivators of the present era.
Yet, someone from the Huangfu Heavenly Clan emerged from wherever he was trapped in and wreaked havoc in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. While he went missing afterward, it was perplexing how he had regained his freedom in the first place.
It was also perplexing how the five juniors from the Huangfu Heavenly Clan had come to the Nine Heavensâ Zenith.
This suggested that the Huangfu Heavenly Clan had devised some kind of special method to free themselves from their restraints. Alternatively, it could also mean that they had always been free, just that they had kept a low profile thus far.
Regardless, the fact that five juniors from the Huangfu Heavenly Clan had appeared during Godâs Era meant that the Huangfu Heavenly Clan wasnât planning to stay in hiding anymore. They wanted to share the day with the present-day cultivators.
Or perhaps, their ambitions might be even greater.
Chu Feng thought that he had to find out more about the Huangfu Heavenly Clan.
âAs someone from the Nine Heavensâ Zenith, I shouldnât be telling you about the history of the Nine Heavensâ Zenith, as it might compromise the fairness of the trial, but it wouldnât do for me to remain silent given our relationship. However, you mustnât share what Iâm going to tell you with anyone else,â Liu Kuo replied via voice transmission.
âIâll keep it a secret,â Chu Feng replied.
âI donât know the current situation in the Huangfu Heavenly Clan, but I heard that they once had a formidable prodigy named Huangfu Yutian. Huangfu Yutian came to the Nine Heavensâ Zenith at a young age back then, and it was an era with many outstanding juniors. It might be lacking compared to the current era, but it doesnât pale much in comparison.
âHuangfu Yutian rose above all other prodigies in that tournament and claimed the title of the strongest. We donât have any records about the reward he received from the tournament, but the reward is said to grant his descendants an advantage in the Nine Heavensâ Zenith.
âThe Huangfu Heavenly Clan did participate in the following iterations of the Nine Heavensâ Zenith, but they never did win anything again. This hints that they are still hoarding the reward Huangfu Yutian received from his victory. The Huangfu Heavenly Clan then went missing, and this is the first time they appeared in the present era.
âI suspect that Huangfu Shengyu and the others came prepared. They are probably equipped with the reward Huangfu Yutian won back then,â Liu Kuo said via voice transmission.
âThe five Huangfus did well for the entrance trial because they had the experience of their predecessorsâ experience to fall back on?â Chu Feng asked.
âOf course,â Liu Kuo replied.
âHow convenient it is for them, but itâs fine. I like it when the opponent is stronger,â Chu Feng said.
âHehe! I like this personality of yours!â Liu Kuo remarked with a chuckle.
âBrother Liu Kuo, is it possible for you to check on Wang Qiang?â Chu Feng asked.
âBrother Chu Feng, I donât have the power to do as I please in the Nine Heavensâ Zenith. I know whatâs happening in your residence because you triggered the formation through the cultivation ground, but I canât peek into whatâs happening in the other residences,â Liu Kuo explained.
âCan you bring me into Wang Qiangâs residence?â Chu Feng asked.
âI can do that. Youâre good brothers anyway, so I donât think heâd have a problem with that. When do you want to head over?â Liu Kuo asked.
âRight now.â
âLetâs go.â
Liu Kuo quickly brought Chu Feng over, but the two of them froze up upon arriving at the entrance of Wang Qiangâs residence.
