Martial God Asura

It was Old Cat.

He had entered the teleportation passageway leading straight to the Ninth Galaxy; it was the route he had prepared beforehand. If any mishap happened, he would escape from the world of cultivation using a teleportation talisman paper and head to the Ninth Galaxy.

His eyes glowed golden as if he could see through everything. This was the effect of the talisman paper burning in his hand.

“Damn it. She’s from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion! She could have moved earlier and spared me from squandering such a valuable teleportation talisman paper!” Old Cat grumbled.

His burning talisman paper was locked on Chu Feng. Through it, he was able to observe Jie Shanxian too. He could decipher the content of their conversation by reading their lips.

He felt that Jie Shanxian had intentionally held back so that he would waste his treasures. He was tempted to rush over to teach Jie Shanxian a lesson, but he didn’t want to waste this invaluable teleportation talisman paper. Since he had already invoked it, he would rather not cancel it.

He didn’t want to stay in the world of cultivation anyway.

Besides, Chu Feng would stop him from teaching Jie Shanxian a lesson and perhaps coerce him into doing things for him. That would rob him of his freedom.

With such thoughts in mind, he dropped the thought of teaching Jie Shanxian a lesson, and his hostility toward her plummeted as well.

When the talisman paper burned out, the golden glow in Old Cat’s eyes receded. He was no longer able to track Chu Feng, though he continued looking in the same direction.“Chu Feng, you have to come to the Ninth Galaxy. I’m curious to see if you can stir waves even in the Ninth Galaxy.” Old Cat’s eyes were gleamed with expectations.

…

Old Cat was no longer able to track Chu Feng, but there was another pair of eyes in space that was locked on Chu Feng, precisely tracking him no matter how fast the bamboo boat was.

Unlike Old Cat, who was limited by his talisman paper, this pair of eyes wasn’t limited by time. Furthermore, no one was able to detect its existence or discern its location.

…

Soon, Chu Feng and Jie Shanxian arrived at a larger realm in the Bloodline Galaxy.

From afar, this realm looked like a sun, with brilliant raging flames. There were no mountains, rivers, or land to be seen; only boundless lava of indiscernible depth existed.

The lava was no ordinary lava. Cultivators beneath True God level couldn’t hope to approach it. No one resided here as there were no cultivation resources to be found in this realm. It was for the same reason that there was no teleportation formation connected to this realm too.

Fortunately, they traveled here using the bamboo boat and not a teleportation formation.

Chu Feng entered the lava realm and stopped above the bubbling lava.

Massive tsunamis or at least a thousand meters in height rose from the lava, sometimes even reaching tens of thousands of meters. They looked terrifying, to say the least.

Chu Feng examined the lava. This was the location marked on Jie Shanxian’s map. He had already informed Jie Shanxian, but the latter’s eyes remained closed, seemingly still focused on her recuperation. He didn’t want to disturb her, so he chose to look around first.

He quickly found some clues—there was an ancient formation passageway hidden in the lava. He informed Eggy about what he discovered.

Both believed what Jie Shanxian desired was inside the formation passageway.

“Chu Feng, even you were only able to discover the formation passageway after confirming the location. How did Jie Shanxian find this place?” Eggy was intrigued.

“She must either possess a powerful observation means, or that she learned about this place by chance. It doesn’t matter either way since we’re here to help her.”

Chu Feng wasn’t concerned about what was hidden here. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

He took out the black metal lump. That was what he was most concerned about right now. Forging a Bloodline Soul Puppet would be greatly beneficial to him, and he needed an incredibly sturdy material for the forging.

If this black metal lump didn’t meet the cut, it was unlikely he could find anything suitable in the world of cultivation.

Chu Feng thought the black metal lump should be sturdy enough, but he was so focused on channeling the bamboo boat that he didn’t have the spare energy to try it out. Now, he finally had a chance to try tempering the black metal lump.

“Are you going to try it here? But that means Jie Shanxian would learn about your secrets too,” Eggy said.

“It’s not a problem. She doesn’t know what I’m going to do anyway. Besides, I would have already been captured by the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion if not for her. I should show her some sincerity, and transparency is one way to do so,” Chu Feng said.

Eggy nodded in agreement. “That’s true. Your candidness might convince her to divulge the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s secrets. If her goodwill for you grows further, she might even bring you straight into the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion to rescue your mother. Chu Feng, you are getting increasingly cunning!”

“It’s all thanks to Milady Queen’s teaching.” Chu Feng chuckled.

He formed a hand seal.

Seconds later, a black aura imbued with nine-colored lightning gushed out of his body toward the black metal lump. The box holding the black metal lump instantly melted, but the black metal lump remained intact.

Eggy was so excited that she shot to her feet in the World Spirit Space, but she held her tongue for fear of interrupting Chu Feng.

Chu Feng said in elation, “Eggy, this black metal lump is indeed extraordinary. I might be able to use it.”

“Might? Is it not certain yet?” Eggy asked.

“I’ll only know once the forging is completed, but it won’t take long.”

Chu Feng changed his hand seal, and their surroundings shook. Even the lava beneath began raging with greater fervor than before. The black aura imbued with nine-colored lightning grew visibly more powerful.

The black metal lump began to melt, but it retained its unique properties. This was a good sign.

The black aura began to fuse with the black metal lump. This was a highly complicated procedure, so much so that Chu Feng dared not to let his guard down. It took some time, but the fusion was successful.

The remaining black aura receded into Chu Feng’s body.

“Is it a success?” Eggy asked.

“Yes, it’s a success. I can use this metal now!” Chu Feng was overjoyed.

“That’s wonderful!” Eggy was exhilarated. “Does that mean you have finished forging your clone?”

“Not yet. This metal will require more tempering before I can forge it into my clone, and that will take some time. More importantly, I’ll require more metal,” Chu Feng said regrettably.

“Is it not enough?” Eggy asked.

“There are ways to forge the clone with what I have now, but it will compromise the clone’s resilience. That being said, I am already contented with what I have,” Chu Feng replied.

“That’s good to hear.” Eggy smiled.

Chu Feng turned to Jie Shanxian. He noticed that the latter had woken up and had been observing him for some time now.
