Martial God Asura

Chapter 5979: Aunt’s Advice

“The Seven Realms sacred Mansion’s Heaven Tome doesn’t have the Initiate Tome? Then what formations are in their Heaven Tome?” Chu Feng asked.

Jie Tiannian listed the names of all the formations in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Heaven Tome. It was identical to the Heaven Tome Chu Feng had acquired from the remnant.

“It looks like the two Heaven Tomes are identical except for the Initiate Tome, but the fact that it’s named Initiate Tome suggests that there’s a more advanced version of it out there. If so, it would mean that the Initiate Tome isn’t complete.” Chu Feng analyzed.

“That’s possible. The Ancestral Martial Realm Sect has monopolized all of the Ancient Era’s legacies, after all,” Jie Tiannian replied.

The two of them chatted about many things. The majority of them were concerning his mother, and Jie Tiannian revealed everything that she knew.

However, she had no idea how strong Jie Ranqing was. The latter had intentionally concealed her spirit power, so no one knew how strong she was before her disappearance.

“Aunt, I heard that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion possesses a formidable power. Is that true?” Chu Feng asked.

He knew that his father was overwhelmingly strong, judging from the protection formation he had left in him. His father should have stood a chance against Jie Tianran, even if the latter had many tricks up his sleeves.

The fact his father didn’t stomp the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion to save his mother suggested that they were more powerful than what they seemed on the surface.

There were rumors that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion had a formidable power, and supposing those rumors were true, that could have been the reason his father had refrained from making a move thus far.

Jie Tiannian usually answered Chu Feng’s question right away, but she hesitated at this point.

“Aunt, I understand if it’s not convenient for you to speak,” Chu Feng replied.

“Yes, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion does have such a power,” Jie Tiannian replied.

“What kind of power is it?”

“I don’t know the details. I am not privy to such information. I only know that it’s a formidable power that’s capable of ensuring our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s safety. If you wish to learn more, I do know someone who can address your doubts, but I don’t know where that person is right now.”

“Who is it?”

“Daoist Starseizer.”

“Ah. Would he know the specifics about that power?”

“He should.”

That gave Chu Feng a direction to work toward.

Both Daoist Starseizer and Jie Tianran were disciples of the World Spiritist Immortal King, so there was no question about his standing. However, the former left the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion due to clashes in their beliefs.

Jiang Jingyu had previously given Chu Feng a divination bamboo slip, which was said to lead him to Daoist Starseizer.

Chu Feng had wanted to find Daoist Starseizer to learn more about his mother, but he had to put that plan on hold due to several issues that subsequently arose.

For the time being, he decided to stop searching for the key fragments as he realized the dangers of doing so. Had he not been lucky to obtain the Heaven Tome and bump into the Totem Nine Daoists, he would have been captured by the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

Following this incident, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion would surely be more guarded against him. He didn’t think that he should take the risk now.

He should at least wait for the Divine Deer to regain its powers before continuing the search.

In any case, he already had two key fragments. Without them, Jie Tianran couldn’t enter the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s main city even if he obtained the remaining three key fragments.

Chu Feng followed Jie Tiannian’s instructions and rested for a day before resuming his cultivation. He followed the same schedule for the subsequent days—a day of training, followed by a day of rest.

He wasn’t able to make a breakthrough even after assimilating all of Jie Tiannian’s cultivation resources, so he assimilated the Totem Nine Daoists’ cultivation resources too.

In the end, he successfully made a breakthrough to pinnacle God-cloak, Saint Dragon God-cloak.

This breakthrough hardly raised his fighting prowess, as his spirit power fighting prowess was already comparable to Saint Dragon God-cloak before. As incredible as his world spiritist talent was, it wasn’t enough for him to bridge the gap of a major cultivation level.

However, his ability to decipher formations had strengthened significantly.

His ability to decipher formations was previously comparable to early True Dragon World Spiritists, but now, he could potentially decipher formations that even late True Dragon World Spiritists struggled with.

This was an amazing feat for world spiritists.

Furthermore, his next breakthrough would make him a True Dragon World Spiritist.

By this point, the bamboo forest had completely withered.

Chu Feng could tell that the bamboo forest was a treasure, but it was also a consumable. Even the purple rain that was used to heal the bamboo forest was an invaluable treasure.

Jie Tiannian had done him a huge favor this time around. She could have kept this cultivation resource for her son. With Jie Tian’s talents, he would have benefited significantly from it. Yet, she gave this opportunity to Chu Feng instead.

“You made a breakthrough?” Jie Tiannian asked from afar.

Without the bamboo forest’s interference, Chu Feng could see her even from a distance away. He flitted to her side in an instant.

“Yes, I made a breakthrough. It’s thanks to your help, aunt,” Chu Feng replied with a chuckle.

The mood between them became much lighter now that he had dropped his vigilance.

“It’s only possible because of your outstanding talent.” Jie Tiannian smiled.

“Aunt, these cultivation resources are invaluable treasures. Why didn’t you reserve them for Jie Tian’s use?” Chu Feng asked.

“I gathered these cultivation resources for Tian’er, but I thought you would be in greater need of them after hearing about your affairs,” Jie Tiannian replied.

Chu Feng was touched.

He had felt motherly warmth from Jie Tiannian in the days they had spent together. While he had a terrible impression of Jie Tian, he had a high opinion of Jie Tiannian. Her willingness to give cultivation resources she had prepared for Jie Tian to him showed that she cared for him like a mother.

Chu Feng had hurt Jie Tian before, but Jie Tiannian didn’t blame him for it. She didn’t even raise the matter.

This made him even more aware of how much she cared about him.

This left him feeling conflicted, as he knew that it was unlikely he would ever be able to reconcile with Jie Tian, considering the latter’s personality. His aunt would be in agony if he killed Jie Tian.

“Aunt, you should know that I’m a threat to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion and even your son. Why are you still helping me then?” Chu Feng asked.

“I know you’re the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s enemy and Tian’er’s adversary, but that doesn’t change the fact that you are my nephew. I can’t do much for you given the differences in our stances, but I’d still like to take care of you on Ranqing’s behalf,” Jie Tiannian said with a lowered head.

“Aunt, will you blame me if I ever kill Jie Tian in the future?” Chu Feng asked.

Jie Tiannian fell silent upon hearing those words. Seconds later, she replied, “I don’t know.”

Those words reflected her true feelings.

“As long as Jie Tian doesn’t hurt anyone whom I care about, I’ll spare him on your account,” Chu Feng replied.

However, Jie Tiannian shook her head. She grabbed Chu Feng’s shoulders and said with a gentle but earnest tone, “Chu Feng, remember this. You have to prioritize yourself no matter what happens. Don’t show mercy to anyone who threatens your life, even if that person is Jie Tian, Jie Tianran, or even me. Your safety should come first.”

Those words were spoken with eyes filled with concern. She didn’t know what the future held, but at least for now, she was sincerely worried about Chu Feng.
