Fei was a prodigy, after all. It didn’t take him long to grasp the cultivation method under Song Changsheng’s guidance. He clenched his jaws and began cultivating.
However, the searing energy was so excruciating that Fei struggled to concentrate.
In contrast, Chu Feng was so focused that it looked as if he was not in any pain.
Song Changsheng couldn’t help but feel conflicted. He flicked his wrist and took out two pills emanating frost auras. “Take this.”
He had prepared these pills, knowing it was only a matter of time before Fei resorted to his forbidden skill.
“Thank you, master.”
Knowing that his master had prepared these for him, Fei was so moved that he nearly teared up.
“Chu Feng, it won’t be easy to completely suppress the searing energy. You should take one.” Song Changsheng passed the other one to Chu Feng.
“Thank you, elder.”
Chu Feng took the pill and swallowed it, knowing that Song Changsheng was right. While he had managed to curb the searing energy for now, it was a huge hurdle to take complete control of it.
The pill lowered the effects of the searing energy, allowing him to heighten his concentration.
“Chu Feng, you can cultivate here at ease. I’ll inform you if the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion goes to that realm,” Song Changsheng said.
“I have troubled you, elder,” Chu Feng replied.
He wasn’t surprised that Song Changsheng knew about the formation core realm. It simply meant he had been observing the situation all this while.
Chu Feng and Fei might have grasped the cultivation method, but their cultivation was still too low to properly cultivate a rank four God Taboo. It also didn’t help that the searing energy was extremely violent, so it was not easy to fuse it with their bloodline and store it.
It would take a while for them to succeed.
It was a huge relief that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion obeyed Jie Tianran’s orders and steered clear of the Totem Galaxy’s formation core realm.
Meanwhile, Jie Tianran kept a close eye on the Chu Clan Alliance’s movements while guarding the Immortal Sea Galaxy’s formation core realm.
He had dispatched his stronger members to extract the stronger power fragments from God’s Era, but he was still reluctant to give up on the weaker power fragments. If possible, he wanted to monopolize everything.
So, he dispatched ordinary members to the realms with the weaker power fragments as well.
But how could those ordinary members be a match for the Chu Clan Alliance’s elites? It didn’t help that Chu Feng had ordered the Chu Clan Alliance to massacre everyone from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.
As a result, those ordinary members were massacred.
Neither Jie Tianran nor the Saint-tier elders were bothered by the deaths of those ordinary members, viewing casualties to be inevitable in war. However, there were bound to be people who paid attention to such details.
As deaths mounted, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion began to take this matter seriously and reported it up the command chain. Eventually, it reached Jie Tianran’s ear.
An elder explained the situation to Jie Tianran.
“Lord Mansion Master, our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion might have lost many people, but those are limited to our non-elite forces. Our main forces have yet to clash with the Chu Clan Alliance, and they have enjoyed great success in the extraction of God’s Era’s power fragments as well.
“I suspect that the Chu Clan Alliance is merely putting on a strong front and dares not confront us directly.”
The elder was gleeful despite having lost many of his brethren. His arrogance was bone-deep. This was a trait shared by many in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. It was why they looked down on the other powers.
“Are you telling me that those casualties are good news for us?” Jie Tianran eyed the elder.
The elder realized that he had misspoken and hurriedly dropped to his knees. “Lord Mansion Master, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that the Chu Clan Alliance was too arrogant. I only said those words out of frustration. Please punish me for misspeaking!”
Despite not being a Saint-tier elder, he was still a figure of considerable stature in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, evident from how he reported directly to Jie Tianran. He understood Jie Tianran’s personality, so he first explained himself before requesting to be punished.
And indeed, his response quelled Jie Tianran’s anger.
“What’s the use of punishing you? You aren’t the one killing our people. Get up and return to work.” Jie Tianran waved his hand.
The elder hurriedly left the room.
Jie Tianran looked troubled. He had noticed that the Chu Clan Alliance was targeting realms that contained weaker power fragments, but he didn’t expect them to limit themselves to just those realms.
Are they avoiding us out of fear? But that’s not how Chu Feng’s personality was.
“Elder, what do you think?” Jie Tianran asked the old entity inside him.
“If you’re posing that question to me, Jie Tianran, you must be wondering if your grandson has figured something out and is up to something,” the old entity replied.
“That little beast saw through the locations of the two formation core realms. I suspect he might have some kind of formidable treasure, or that a powerhouse is secretly helping him.”
“Aren’t I helping you as well? I might be greatly weakened, but I still retain my instincts as a world spiritist. Your grandson is not that capable, so put your mind at ease. You’re just being jumpy because of the setbacks you have suffered at his hands. This isn’t a good thing, Jie Tianran. Don’t let your grandson become your inner demon.”
“You’re right, elder.”
Despite his affirmative response, Jie Tianran still took out a talisman paper and wrote on it.
The old entity sighed.
The talisman paper allowed Jie Tianran to swiftly transmit messages to the elders carrying the corresponding message tokens. It was just that activating the talisman paper required a huge amount of energy, so Jie Tianran wouldn’t resort to it unless necessary.
Jie Tianran was ordering the elders to transport the extracted power fragments to the formation core realm right away.
This abrupt order was a sign that Jie Tianran was panicking. He was playing it safer than usual out of fear that things would go awry.
The old entity watched it unfold without saying a word.
The truth was that he had lied. He was also worried that Chu Feng had discerned something that they had missed, and that a mishap might occur due to that. He had wanted to warn Jie Tianran about this, but his pride got in the way, and the words came out differently.
