CHAPTER 567: CHAPTER 577: REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED

From Late-stage Great Sword Master to Sword Saint, and then to Sword God, each upgrade across the Great Realms is as daunting as climbing through heaven. Even if it’s just a small realm or even just a bottleneck one wants to break through, it is extraordinarily difficult.

Others may lack this confidence, but Chu Feng has it.

He personally escorted Han Xiaoying into the Seven Star Cave, and at the moment she entered, Chu Feng felt extreme heartache.

If he possessed great strength, he would not let his wife suffer like this.

Seven Star Cave is guarded by super-strong people from the Sect, and it’s not a place you can enter just because you want to.

For an ordinary outer disciple like Han Xiaoying, it requires twenty thousand contribution points, cultivation must reach the Sword Saint Level, plus she needed to sign a voluntary commitment form that if she dies within the Seven Star Cave, the Sect would not be responsible.

Those who want to enter the Seven Star Cave are basically outer disciples.

Many are envious of the same level of resources and treatment of the inner disciples. As for the success rate of being promoted to the inner sect, it has never exceeded one in ten thousand.

On the contrary, among the disciples who enter the Seven Star Cave, if five out of ten can come out alive, that is already considered very good.

...

Chu Feng returned to his Medicine Field with a heavy heart. A voice in his heart was constantly screaming and roaring, "Get stronger, I must get stronger!"

Originally, he had planned to challenge the Sword Saint Realm a bit later.

Now, receiving considerable stimulation, he decided to challenge the Sword Saint Realm immediately.

"Manager Chu, some people outside are looking for you!" Just as Chu Feng arrived at his management courtyard, a disciple guarding the sect ran over to report.

This person treated Chu Feng with utmost respect and courtesy.

Because Chu Feng is now the manager of Medicine Mountain No. 106. This is considered as a middle-level position within the outer sect.

If he takes one more big step forward, to become the Mountain Master of Medicine Mountain, then he could just about be considered as part of the upper echelon.

Although the manager of Medicine Mountain is only a middle-level position, the power he holds is not small.

"Who’s looking for me? Could it be Xiong Guansui heard that I am the Pill Master of Longevity Hall, lowered his status, and came to ask for my help?" Chu Feng furrowed his brows slightly, he was not interested in Miss Xiong.

Moreover, with a great enemy at present, he had set a five-year agreement with Qin Shan.

Where would Chu Feng find the time to treat Xiong Guansui’s mother?

"Did they give their names?" asked Chu Feng.

"The leader said his name is Chen Dazhong, and he also said you would definitely see him!" The outer disciple quickly added, seemingly aware of Chu Feng’s displeasure.

"Dazhong! How did he come to the Divine Martial Continent?"

Chu Feng was extremely surprised. If it were Xiong Guansui, he certainly would not see him.

His senior disciple Chen Dazhong, on the other hand, he definitely would see.

"Where are they?"

"Waiting at the bridge outside the sect!"

No sooner had the words of this outer disciple fallen than Chu Feng, like a gust of wind, had disappeared from his sight.

Harnessing the Fast Sword Technique of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill not only allows one’s strike speed to be fast, but also makes the speed of flight much faster than that of other experts of the same realm.

A short while later, Chu Feng arrived at the bridge.

From a distance, he saw Chen Dazhong and a few others waiting there.

"Dazhong!"

Seeing his most loyal disciple from his past life, Chu Feng was also very excited.

"Master!" Chen Dazhong ran towards Chu Feng with joy and excitement. Upon getting close, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Disciple pays respects to Master!"

The few people brought by Chen Dazhong also knelt down following him, calling out "Master’s teacher".

"Get up quickly!"

Chu Feng hurriedly helped Chen Dazhong to his feet.

"Dazhong, how did you also end up in the Divine Martial Continent? How is Senior Brother doing?" Chu Feng’s second sister also came with the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage.

However, Chu Feng had made too many enemies, and each of them was exceptionally powerful.

Thus, Chu Feng did not publicly disclose his relationship with Chu Yun.

He even intentionally avoided meeting her to prevent her from being implicated.

Chu Feng felt somewhat worried after ceding the Imperial Throne to his Senior Brother. He wondered if his brother could firmly maintain his position on the Emperor’s Throne?

"Ah, it’s a long story! After you left, that brute Ma Quanzi began his wild revenge. Backed by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, leading many experts, he relentlessly oppressed my Treasure Pill Pavilion. Within just a few months, he managed to plunder everything from my pavilion."

"Although I fought back with all my might, the subordinates of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor were too formidable. I was no match for them. I mobilized experts from all parties to fight against them, resulting in heavy casualties."

"Eventually, no one was willing to risk their lives for me anymore. Seeing that there was no way to survive in Dan State, I took them and escaped!"

Chen Dazhong pointed at the four disciples behind him.

All of these people were disciples taken in by Chen Dazhong, and Chu Feng recognized them. Although their talents in Alchemy Dao were not exceptional, each of them was exceptionally hardworking.

Very much like Chen Dazhong.

They belonged to the type who compensates for their lack of talent through hard work.

"Good, good! It’s great that you arrived here safely! I will personally handle that rebellious beast Ma Quanzi, and eliminate him myself," Chu Feng said, his teeth itching with hatred whenever he mentioned his fifth disciple, Ma Quanzi.

That rebellious beast not only forgot his master’s kindness, but he also willingly became a henchman for the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

Helping the Panlong Heavenly Emperor target Chu Feng and those close to Chu Feng.

"Dazhong, from what you’ve said, it seems the Panlong Heavenly Emperor didn’t withdraw from Dan State because of my departure. He still sent his powerful subordinates to slaughter my loyal followers in Dan State," Chu Feng said.

"Have they targeted my Senior Brother? Have they targeted the Jianyun Dynasty?"

Chu Feng’s heart clenched tightly.

"Not yet! But Ma Quanzi is ambitious, planning to use the power of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor to unite Dan State and become its Emperor, turning Dan State into a fiefdom of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor."

"Currently, Ma Quanzi is mainly undermining the Elixir forces in Dan State. My Treasure Pill Pavilion resisted for half a year. Now that the Treasure Pill Pavilion has been annihilated, there are no more forces to contend with him. I expect he will soon take control of all the Elixir forces in Dan State. However, his plan to unify Dan State and become its Emperor will not be easy."

Chen Dazhong summarized the current situation in Dan State.

After listening, Chu Feng was filled with worry. With the backing of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, it wouldn’t be as difficult for Ma Quanzi to unify Dan State as one might think.

By then, the Jianyun Dynasty would inevitably not escape unscathed.

As for the Northern Beixie Empire, Chu Feng did not care much about it.

He had no attachment to mortal world’s imperial authority.

"Dazhong, your arrival is timely, you can help ease my worries. I have opened an Elixir Medicine Shop in the imperial capital of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. You take them there to engage in alchemy and selling," Chu Feng briefly stated his request.

"Master actually opened an Elixir Medicine Shop in the imperial capital of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country? Such a bustling place, the competition must be extremely fierce. That’s really incredible!"

"With my level, I really have no confidence!"

Chen Dazhong, having been in the Elixir business for many years, was very clear about the intricacies involved. His Treasure Pill Pavilion had once considered expanding to the Divine Martial Continent.

However, even in slightly bigger cities, Treasure Pill Pavilion simply could not gain a foothold.

It was quickly crushed by competitors.

As for a bustling place like the Vermilion Bird Imperial City, it was even beyond imagination.
