Martial God Asura

Chapter 6461: Jie Mubai’s Gains

Chu Feng was capable of swiftly traveling from one realm to another by using the Nine Heavens Secret Domain’s teleportation formations, but he had to get to one of its teleportation formations first.

Fortunately, his traveling speed was faster than usual due to a sword. The sword was ten meters long and crackled with lightning when activated, thus its name—Surging Lightning.

Surging Lightning was not a weapon but a transport medium. It was a treasure from the Ancient Era acquired from the Heavensword Sacred Palace’s Palace Master’s Cosmos Sack.

There were other incredible treasures inside the Cosmos Sack as well, but there weren’t as many cultivation resources. They must have all gone to Tianjian Canhua. That said, there were still enough resources for him to advance a cultivation rank.

Chu Feng could have assimilated the cultivation resources right away, but he didn’t do so. His thoughts were still on the Immemorial Cemetery. Too many things had happened even though he had only been there for a short time.

“Were we lured into the Immemorial Cemetery just to inherit their legacies? But what was it that Wang Qiang went through? Why was there such a huge change in him?”

Wang Qiang had clearly stated that he would sacrifice everyone to the tribute formation to open the strongest Heaven Gate, but Chu Feng didn’t think he was the kind of person who would use the lives of the innocent as stepping stones.

Chu Feng believed that something must have happened to Wang Qiang in the Immemorial Cemetery.

“Could Wang Qiang have met the Demonic Flame Dao Ancestor? The latter doesn’t sound like a good person just from the name itself.”

Since he had met the Spectral Fairy, the masters of the other legacies could be around as well.

Yuwen Yanri’s legacy was from the Skyblaze Lord.

Bai Yunqing’s legacy was from the Profound Acupuncture Physician Saint.

Little Fishy and Xianhai Shaoyu’s legacies were from the Sea Conqueror Saint Exalted.

Song Yun and the new king’s legacies were from the Demon Heavenly Exalted.

Xian Miaomiao’s legacy was from the Spectral Fairy.

Wang Qiang’s legacy was from the Demonic Flame Dao Ancestor.

Chu Feng’s legacy was from the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor.

Despite the Immemorial Cemetery’s massive size, Chu Feng had a feeling that their legacies were all extraordinary. There could be something more to the rune imprinted on their souls, just that he couldn’t see through it yet.

“Forget it.” Chu Feng gave up on making sense of the situation.

This experience had taught him something. Cultivators like them were similar to boats navigating a river. They could steer their boats wherever they wanted to when the water was calm, but when a storm hit, they would either be forced to go with the flow or capsize.

The Immemorial Cemetery was such a storm.

Such was the nature of the world of cultivation. Powerful individuals could dictate the fate of weaker ones. The only way to break free of those powerful individuals’ control was to either surpass them or at least obtain the power to rival them.

So, Chu Feng decided to stop thinking and focus on his cultivation.

...

Meanwhile, powerful voices continued to echo deep within the Immemorial Cemetery.

Other voices had joined the conversation, and they coincidentally corresponded to the number in the Seven Stars Orbs. Their conversation had moved on from Chu Xuanyuan to Jie Mubai.

“I don’t get why we’re supporting such trash. It’s a waste of time and resources,” the domineering voice said.

“Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor, are you worried that Jie Mubai will harm Chu Feng?’ the Spectral Fairy revealed the other party’s identity.

“I’m not worried about that. A trash like that can’t pose a threat to Chu Feng, even if you support him,” the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor replied.

“Aren’t you a generous one, Lightning Flame? The rest of us have only imparted our secret skills to our inheritors, but you gave him your personal weapon straight. But what’s the point of that when he’s incapable of controlling it?” another voice asked.

“You know shit. I have my plans,” the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor scoffed.

“Chu Feng is indeed the most talented of them all. I’d have chosen him if not for my legacy being more compatible with Xian Miaomiao,” the Spectral Fairy replied.

“Compatibility is more important. Chu Feng might be more talented now, but that might not be true in due time,” another voice said.

“Hmph...” The Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor harrumphed with a confident smile.

“Elders, can you quieten down for a while?” a voice echoed from a realm.

It was the man who proclaimed himself emperor.

Surprisingly, the space fell silent. The seven powerful entities held their tongues, and once they had fallen silent, their existence could no longer be perceived as if they weren’t there in the first place.

The man who proclaimed himself emperor was in a majestic palace suffused with formation energy. This palace bore a striking resemblance to an altar, and an unconscious Jie Mubai lay at its center.

Energy shaped like the humanoid creature Jie Mubai had previously summoned was flowing into his body. The humanoid creature might have become incorporeal, but it was now much larger and more imposing than before.

“Gather!” the man shouted.

The martial power formation intensified as the humanoid creature fully fused into Jie Mubai’s body.

Jie Mubai opened his eyes.

“I-I’m still alive?” Jie Mubai murmured fearfully.

He remembered being devoured by Song Yun’s summoned monster. He felt death closing in on him before passing out.

“It’s more than that. Feel your own body,” the man said.

Jie Mubai realized that the mysterious entity must have saved him. He did as he was told, and his eyes swiftly lit up in delight. In his view, the power he had obtained was more than enough to conquer the world of cultivation.

He would have absolute say even within the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

Such power was worth pledging his soul away to someone else.

“Thank you, milord.” Jie Mubai hurriedly got up and kowtowed.
