Chapter 5614: Promise of the Nine Heavens

Are you going to the Nine Heavens Zenith? Zhang Yingxiong asked.

I have heard about it, but I dont think that I can go even if I wanted to, Chu Feng replied with a sigh.

You havent heard yet? The Nine Heavens Zenith was postponed because not all of the top prodigies were invited. Youre definitely one of the prodigies who wasnt invited. Trust me, youll receive the invitation soon, Zhang Yingxiong said.

Really? You sure are well-informed.

Chu Feng was surprised that Zhang Yingxiong was aware of the details concerning Nine Heavens Zenith. Those words gave him the confidence that he would be invited to the Nine Heavens Zenith.

Do you wish to go? Zhang Yingxiong asked.

Id want to go if given the opportunity. You dont want to go? Chu Feng asked.

They arent worthy of my time, but you are a different story. If you intend to go, Ill head over to take a look if I have time then, Zhang Yingxiong said.

You wish to defeat me? Chu Feng asked.

Of course, though Im not confident of doing so if were at the same cultivation level, Zhang Yingxiong said.

Im aware that you held back the last time we fought. I hope that you can go all out if we ever get another opportunity to cross blows, Chu Feng said.

He knew that he was no match for Zhang Yingxiong, but he was confident that it was only a matter of time before he caught up with the latter. He hoped to have a proper match with Zhang Yingxiong then. He wasnt afraid of strong opponents; if anything, he thought that he would only grow stronger from fighting strong opponents.

Very well. I shall use my full strength if the opportunity arises. However, you will have to work harder. You wont be a match for me at your current cultivation level, Zhang Yingxiong replied with a gleeful smile.

Whats your current cultivation level? Chu Feng asked.

Its a secret. You just have to know that Im powerful, Zhang Yingxiong replied with a smirk.

It doesnt matter. Ill catch up soon enough. Chu Feng smiled as well.

I have no doubt about that. Youll definitely be able to do it. If your father kept you by your side, youd have long Zhang Yingxiong was halfway through his words when he realized that he had misspoken and hurriedly shut his mouth.

However, it was too late. Chu Feng stared at him intently and asked, You know my father?

Its my master who knows him. I heard some matters concerning your father through him, Zhang Yingxiong explained.

Do you know where my father currently is? Chu Feng asked.

Im afraid I dont have the answer to your question. Zhang Yingxiong shook his head.

Do you know my fathers current cultivation level then?

I dont know that either.

Brother Zhang, arent we supposed to be friends? You know about my father, but you kept it a secret from me, Chu Feng asked.

He wanted to know more about his father, or else he wouldnt have pressured Zhang Yingxiong.

Brother Chu Feng, its not that Im keeping it a secret from you, but I really dont know anything. All I learned from my master is that your father is an extremely strong cultivator, but he left you to fend for yourself. Other than that, I dont know anything at all.

Frankly speaking, Brother Chu Feng, I dont know why your father refuses to take you with him. Someone of your talent would have grown by leaps and bounds if a powerhouse nurtured you, but your father left you to your own devices. He would regret it if a mishap happened to you.

Does your mother agree with your fathers action? Speaking of which, who is your mother? I have no idea who your mother is, but Id guess from your talent that shes no ordinary person. Ah, I dont bear any ill intention of asking those questions. Im just curious.

Zhang Yingxiong clarified his stance, fearing that Chu Feng would be offended.

Chu Feng wouldnt lose his temper at this minor, so he replied with a smile, It isnt convenient to divulge my mothers ident.i.ty. Its true that my father has left me to my own devices, but I dont blame him. He has his own plans. Besides, I dont think theres anything about this. Shouldnt a man rely on himself?

Brother Chu Feng, I conceded that my maturity is beneath yours. Im in awe. Zhang Yingxiong clasped his fist and bowed to Chu Feng.

You can do it too. Why dont you shake off your master? Chu Feng replied with a joking smile.

Haha! Theres no way I can do that. You also know that I like to cause trouble. Ill be beaten up to death if I dont have my master to protect me. Zhang Yingxiong waved his hands sheepishly.

Chu Feng burst into laughter. He thought that Zhang Yingxiong was quite an interesting person.

Brother Chu Feng, Ill take my leave first. I still have matters to attend to. Ill meet you at the Nine Heavens Zenith if I dont have anything up then, Zhang Yingxiong said.

All rights. See you, Chu Feng replied.

Zhang Yingxiong grasped his token and left the area.

Chu Feng did the same too. He wasnt immediately brought out of the Nine Realms Immortal Region but instead transported to a random location in the world where he had met Tuoba Yijian and Tuoba Tianxue. This location was not too far away from the mountain.

There was something about the mountain that drew one in.

Are you still able to head to that mountain? Eggy asked.

Chu Feng had already obtained the energy to temper his body and soul from the Immortal Stream, but he might stumble upon another fortuitous encounter if he could visit the mountain too.

I think so.

Chu Feng noticed that his token was still reacting to the mountain, and that led him to deduce that he could still scale the mountain.

I wonder whats the difference between this mountain and the realm we were transported to earlier. Chu Feng, why dont we take a look since we dont have anything up? Eggy asked.

What a coincidence, Eggy. I was thinking the same too, Chu Feng replied as he flitted toward the mountain.

He arrived at the mountain peak and found that there was a spirit formation gate there. A crowd was gathered around the spirit formation gate. Most likely, these people hadnt obtained a token and were unable to enter the spirit formation gate.

Chu Feng had a token in hand, so he could enter the spirit formation gate without a hitch.

He pa.s.sed through the spirit formation gate and arrived at an even larger world than the lake realm, just that what was beneath him were trees. There were also mountains in the distance. The scenery was beautiful, but he couldnt sense any fortuitous encounters around.

Clearly, the lake realm was the true fortuitous encounter of the Nine Realms Immortal Region. Even if there were fortuitous encounters here, the chances were that they were inferior to that of the lake realm. That was why Zhang Yingxiong left straightaway without heading here

Ey, we should have asked Zhang Yingxiong. He would have known where the fortuitous encounters are, Eggy said with a regretful tone.

Its fine. I can find them on my own too, Chu Feng said as he carefully a.s.sessed the situation with his Heavens Eyes.

What he didnt know was that a gray-robed man was currently wandering around the realm. His robe covered his face, and he looked just like a dried corpse. He held a compa.s.s in his wrinkly hands.

The needle of the compa.s.s was initially still, but as soon as Chu Feng appeared in the realm, it suddenly moved and pointed in his direction. The gray-robed man immediately turned his gaze over. It was impossible to make out his facial features under the gray robe, but his killing intent was palpable.

An old and hoa.r.s.e voice reminiscent of the cries of a ferocious ghost echoed, I finally found you.
