Chapter 5667: Conqueror Steles

It was a partners.h.i.+p, elder. You dont owe me anything at all, Chu Feng said.

Are you refuting me right now? Im saying that I owe you a debt, and thats it. Stop arguing with me. Dont you know better than to argue with a woman? Xia Xingchen replied with a coercive tone.

Lets not harp on this matter. Give me your wrist, Chu Feng said as he grabbed Xia Xingchens wrist, wondering if he could free her from the threat.

Are you able to get it out? Xia Xingchen asked.

Chu Feng examined her wrist before giving his verdict, My cultivation level isnt high enough.

The treasure was a tricky one to deal with. Other cultivators would have to have to absolutely overpower the treasure to take it out.

Chu Feng was in a better position since the treasure had acknowledged his father as its master, allowing him to retrieve it without having to overpower the treasure. Nevertheless, he still needed to reach at least True G.o.d level.

Why dont you call your father here? Xia Xingchen asked.

Elder, I dont know where my father is, Chu Feng replied.

I should have known. Those small fries wouldnt have been able to bully you if he was by your side, Xia Xingchen remarked as she pulled her hand out of Chu Fengs grasp. Dont worry about it. This item doesnt pose a threat to me as long as your father doesnt trigger it.

Elder, how strong was my father when you last met him?

Why are you asking me that? You can ask your father yourself when you meet him. It cant be that you arent on close terms with your father, are you?

I rarely meet my father.

No wonder youre curious about him! Im also dying to know how strong your father is right now, but I reckon you dont know that either, right? Xia Xingchen asked.

Indeed, Chu Feng replied with an awkward smile.

I dont know whether your father is brave or foolish to not keep his outstanding son by his side.

My father has his own plans.

Youre protecting him even though he abandoned you? You sure are a filial child.

Xia Xingchen appeared to be a person who often smiled, but the smile she showed now was different from the one when they first met.

Elder, why did you leave the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect? Chu Feng asked.

Are you getting curious about me now? Xia Xingchen returned a question of her own.

Im just concerned about you. We did brave through a life-and-death situation together, right? However, I wont probe further if you dont want to talk about it.

Its nothing much. That old man from the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect has set his eyes on me. You know how important juniors are to the G.o.ds Era, right? That old mans offspring are all trash, so he wanted me to bear his child in hopes he might get someone with good talent. He was also the one who told me that the Heavenly Dome Immortal Method were cultivating is incomplete. He said that hed impart the complete method to me as long as I marry him, Xia Xingchen said.

Are you talking about the Heavenly Done Immortal sects sectmaster? Chu Feng asked.

Who else would dare do this?

Thats true.

Rest a.s.sured, Ill keep it a secret. Elder, could it be that you have someone in your heart if even the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sects sectmaster doesnt catch your interest?

Not at all. No one has moved my heart before.

Really? No one has ever moved your heart before?

Isnt that normal? Have you had a crush on someone before?

Of course.

Seriously? A brat like you is in love with someone?

Im not young either. Id be a senior if I wasnt a cultivator. Most mortals at my age would have had quite a few children. Those who married earlier might even have grandchildren, Chu Feng said.

That makes sense. You might be a brat as a cultivator, but youd indeed be considered a senior going by mortals decades-long lifespan. Why dont you tell me how it feels like to be in love then? Xia Xingchen asked.

Id cherish the person who moves my heart a lot. Her happiness brings me happiness. Thinking about her would bring a smile to my face. Id find myself missing her a lot when she isnt around. Parting ways from her is always tough; Id feel a strong reluctance in my heart, and Id rack my brain to find ways for us to stay together if its possible to do so. Its different from parting ways with a friend, Chu Feng explained.

Is that what it means to fall for someone? Xia Xingchen asked.

Only someone whom Im in love with can affect me so much. I dont know if its the same for the others, but thats the case for me, Chu Feng replied.

Then I dont think I have ever been in love with anyone before.

Elder, someone as outstanding as you is bound to carry high expectations of your partner. However, you dont need to worry. Its only a matter of time before you meet someone who catches your eye, Chu Feng said.

Worry, my a.s.s! I dont care for that! Xia Xingchen exclaimed before dragging Chu Feng out. Lets leave this place first before we continue our conversation.

Once they were out of the stone hall, she turned to Chu Feng and asked, Is there anywhere you wish to head to? If not, why dont you come with me?

Where are you headed to? Chu Feng asked.

I dont know. Im finally free now, so Ill head wherever my heart will.

Ill have to decline your offer as I still have matters to attend to. Id be happy to accompany you on your journey if an opportunity arises in the future.

You have offended the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect, and your father isnt with you. Itll be safer for you to come with me.

Will they put me on their wanted list? Chu Feng asked.

I dont think theyd do so openly out of consideration for their reputation, but theyll definitely send a.s.sa.s.sins after you.

Its fine. I have had people coming for my life from a young age. It feels a little weird not to have others on my back.

You sure are a stubborn brat! Fine, well bid farewell here then.

See you, elder.

See you, Xia Xingchen replied.

She rose into the air and took her leave. She was so fast that she put considerable distance between her and Chu Feng in the blink of an eye, but she halted all of a sudden.

Whats with this sour feeling in my heart?

Perplexed, Xia Xingchen thought that she was injured, so she quickly consumed a pill and constructed a formation. However, the sour feeling refused to subside. She felt extremely uncomfortable as if she had just lost something important, and it put her in a low mood.

This was perplexing, as everything had gone smoothly. She had grasped the complete Heavenly Dome Immortal Method, allowing her to raise her cultivation by three ranks despite being in True G.o.d level.

If anything, she should be celebrating.

Confused, she turned around and looked in the direction where she had just parted ways with Chu Feng. She thought about their earlier encounter, and that lifted her spirits a little. The corner of her lips even curled up a little.

Then, she suddenly snapped out of it, and astonishment filled her eyes. Surely not! Could I have

Meanwhile, Chu Feng pretended to leave the area, but he quickly returned to the stone hall and made his way toward the towering gate. He had to return to the Nine Heavens Secret Domain and complete the entrance examination.

The towering gate was different from the one in the Nine Heavens Secret Domain, but it reacted when he constructed the corresponding key formation. His conjecture that it was teleportation formation was spot on.

He entered the unbelievably fast teleportation pa.s.sageway and returned to the Nine Heavens Secret Domain within two hours.

But instead of returning to the towering gate, he found himself inside an ancient forest.

The plants and trees inside this forest glowed with different colors, looking incredibly beautiful like a dreamscape. However, what caught his attention were three steeles.

These steeles looked like pillars that connected the earth to the sky.

The first steele was covered with cracks, making it impossible to see what was written on it. The third steele had the words Conqueror Steele on it, but the area under it was empty. The second steele also had the words Conqueror Steele on it, but it had six names beneath it.

The first name was Qin Jiu.
