Martial God Asura

Chapter 6517: I Feel It

As soon as they came into contact with the barrier, teleportation energy swiftly converged in front of them and manifested into a spirit formation gate.

“I have underestimated the formation,” Chu Feng murmured.

To think that the barrier was equipped with a teleportation formation as well! The security around the Undying Starfield was at an astonishing level.

Several Netherworld Sectmembers emerged from the spirit formation gate and encircled them. One of them was a Heavenly God.

“Paying respect to Lord Wuma.”

When they realized it was Wuma Hanshuang, they hurriedly bowed deferentially to her.

“What a lineup. Are you here to apprehend me?” Wuma Hanshuang coldly asked.

“Milord, this is the formation constructed by the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. A spirit formation gate will be automatically manifested whenever someone comes into contact with the barrier. Please pardon us if we have offended you,” the Heavenly God explained.

Wuma Hanshuang smiled. “You don’t need to be so tense. I’m joking with you. This place is of utmost importance to our Netherworld Sect. Trouble might come knocking now that it is revealed to the world, so it is only right for you to do your due diligence.”

“We will not let our guard down!” the Netherworld Sectmembers said in unison.

“What’s the current situation inside the starfield?” Wuma Hanshuang asked.

“Milord, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists are indeed capable. Not only did they reinforce our control over the Undying Starfield, but they even used the special nature of the Netherworld Embryo to construct a detection formation.

“Anyone who appears in the Undying Starfield without a Netherworld Embryo will be immediately detected and tracked,” the Heavenly God reported.

“Guarding against intruders is important, but what’s more crucial is awakening the power here. How is it going?” Wuma Hanshuang pressed on.

“Milord, we’re only responsible for guarding the formation. I’m afraid we don’t know what’s happening inside the starfield. However, I’ve heard that the sacred item has appeared, just that we haven’t been able to fully awaken its power yet.

“I’ve also heard that the natural oddity we captured a while back is finally working under the effects of the sacred item. That has greatly boosted the strength of our lords and prodigious juniors,” the Heavenly God reported.

“Good.” Wuma Hanshuang nodded.

“Lord Wuma, Lord Baili and Lord Xiahou are currently at the formation core. Are you going to look for them?” the Heavenly God asked.

“I’ll first check on the sacred treasure before paying respect to Lord Baili. Keep an eye here. Send a signal if anyone tries to barge in,” Wuma Hanshuang instructed.

“Understood.”

The Netherworld Sectmembers bowed respectfully.

With that, Wuma Hanshuang led Chu Feng and Wen Xue into the Undying Starfield.

The Netherworld Sectmembers didn’t even dare to look at Chu Feng or Wen Xue, let alone ask about their identities.

“Not bad. I can see that Wen Xue wasn’t slacking around while she was with Wuma Hanshuang. Her impersonation of the latter is impressive.” Eggy complimented her.

Wen Xue was able to extract useful information from the Netherworld Sectmembers in their earlier conversation.

“Indeed.” Chu Feng nodded while keeping a close eye on Wuma Hanshuang. This Wuma Hanshuang looks far too realistic.

“Senior, isn’t it weird how the Netherworld Sect suddenly has so many Heavenly God level cultivators?” Chu Feng asked in confusion.

He had clashed with the Netherworld Sect before, but it didn’t have so many experts back then.

Otherwise, Baili Zilin, as Baili Xukong’s son, should have far stronger experts guarding him rather than just Jimo Qianzhou. The only explanation was that the Netherworld Sect, like the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, had undergone a metamorphosis in recent days.

“Until a while back, the experts of the conservative faction, the new faction, and the neutral faction were still in closed-door training. They have gone into such closed-door training many times before, but they have always ended in failure. This time, however, they succeeded.

“They grasped a new method to further utilize the Netherworld Embryo’s power, which is the secret skill I wanted to teach you earlier. The Netherworld Sectmembers grew considerably stronger as a result,” Wen Xue explained.

It was pretty much the same as what Chu Feng had expected.

“However, the Netherworld Sect remains an enigmatic power. They refuse to divulge some information no matter how close you are to them, so what I know about them remains limited. It’s not just me. Take Wuma Hanshuang for instance, her position is only second to Baili Xukong in the new faction, but there are still many things that she doesn’t know about.

“That’s just how the Netherworld Sect operates,” Wen Xue said.

“Senior, do you know about the natural oddity they talked about?” Chu Feng asked.

“I heard my master mention it, but I didn’t expect them to really do it.”

“What is it?”

“While the Undying Starfield’s power hasn’t been fully awakened, its energy is already seeping out, just that it can’t be utilized. Thus, they have been thinking of ways to use the energy. This way, they would still benefit from this operation even if they fail to awaken the sacred item in the end.

“Baili Xukong has a godson named Zhao Feng. That fellow likes to dabble in unorthodox methods, and he found a way to utilize the energy. In gist, it involves using a medium to tap into the sacred item’s power. There are some risks involved, but some cultivators can accept that.

“The natural oddity is the most suited medium for that. It has unlocked its sentience and has started cultivating, just like me. It is the perfect medium to use,” Wen Xue said.

“I doubt the natural oddity is faring well after becoming a medium for someone else’s cultivation,” Chu Feng remarked.

“Of course. It’s the worst.”

“The Netherworld Sect still had the cheek to say that it wasn’t an unorthodox sect. Look at everything it has done,” Chu Feng spat.

“The conservative faction is still decent. It’s mainly the new faction that is messing around,” Wen Xue replied.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Undying Starfield.

Many experts from the Netherworld Sect were gathered here. At a glance, Chu Feng could already spot many rank one Heavenly God level cultivators. There were bound to be stronger individuals hidden in the shadows.

Wuma Hanshuang could pass without a hitch thanks to her lofty stature.

As soon as Chu Feng entered a certain range of the Undying Starfield, he suddenly felt something.

“I feel it, Eggy,” Chu Feng said.
