Of the three parties, Chu Feng was the fastest to return, after all, with the mysterious man following him, in terms of speed and strength, he could be considered unmatched.
Within a few days, Daoist Qinglong also returned, and with the secret technique Qinglong Speeding Technique, although his cultivation was far inferior to that of the mysterious man, he was also extremely fast.
The slowest were the Jiang Dynasty’s men and horses. Although the Imperial Lord led a group of powerful men personally, they were all a great deal weaker than the Mysterious Man and the Green Dragon Daoist, both in terms of strength and speed.
But overall speaking, the harvest for all three of them was extremely fruitful, but unfortunately, although the wealth was great, it was too extensive.
The real cultivation resources only accounted for a mere one-third, and most of the rest were things like strange weapons and treasures.
As for Chu Feng, he wanted to rush into the Heavenly Martial Realm, so he made a request, that was to exchange the items he had obtained, such as the strange weapons and treasures, for the cultivation resources of the Qinglong Daoist and the Jiang Imperial Lord.
In response to this offer, Daoist Qinglong and Imperial Lord Jiang agreed to do so, but did not ask for Chu Feng’s things at all, and only gave all of their cultivation resources to Chu Feng unconditionally.
Faced with this kind of action from the Jiang Clan Imperial Lord, and the Qinglong Daoist, Chu Feng could not say much, but could only be grateful and take note of the kindness the two had shown to him.
And just as Chu Feng was about to close down with a large amount of cultivation resources and prepare for his cultivation, Zhang Tianyi, Jiang Wushen, and Jiang Niyi and other people of his generation had a small gathering with Chu Feng.
“Brother Chu Feng, although I was not able to witness the scene on that day, just listening to my sister’s account, my blood was already boiling.”
“I only knew that you were very powerful before, but I didn’t feel that you were better than me, today I can say that I know that you are that much better than me.”
“In my life, I, Jiang Wushen, have never really admired anyone, but I admire you to death now. No matter what, as a member of the royal clan, I still want to thank you for your great kindness and for saving the lives of tens of thousands of my clan members.”
Jiang Wusheng was recovering from his serious injuries and appeared to be full of energy. His gaze, however, was more focused on the mysterious man beside Chu Feng, for he had also heard of the mysterious man’s might.
“Brother Wushan, let’s not be so polite in this relationship.” Chu Feng smiled faintly and said.
“Chu Feng, I heard that you are going to break through the Heavenly Martial Realm this time in seclusion, the Heavenly Martial Realm is not that simple to break through, back then I had to break through dozens of times before I succeeded.” Jiang Niyi said warmly.
“Yes, Senior Brother Chu Feng, the Heavenly Martial Realm is indeed difficult because it is a big hurdle, back then I, too, broke through twenty times.” Zhang Tianyi also spoke up.
“Big brother Tianyi, you actually only broke through twenty times? I had to break through a full thirty times before I succeeded.” Hearing that Zhang Tianyi had managed to break through in twenty times, Jiang Wushen, on the other hand, was a little surprised.
As for what the three said, Chu Feng only smiled slightly; back when Zi Ling was beside Chu Feng, Chu Feng had seen Zi Ling impact the Heavenly Martial Realm with his own eyes.
It was indeed difficult to impact the Heavenly Martial Realm, one had to first prepare well enough, not only physically, but also mentally, before one could impact, and this impact was often a very long time, as short as a few days, or as long as a dozen days, or even a few months.
And after failing once, one loses some of the previously accumulated Xuan Power, and one’s body suffers some damage, requiring a period of time apart before one can continue the breakthrough.
In short, breaking through the Heavenly Martial Realm was difficult, and even Zi Ling, with her Heavenly Divine Body talent, had broken through a dozen times before succeeding back and forth, and Chu Feng knew how great the challenge he faced was.
He could not fail, for the Xuan Power he had accumulated could not be lost, for the amount, was simply too great.
If Jiang Wushen and Jiang Niyi knew that the price for his breakthrough to the First Level of Heavenly Martial Arts was the wealth of an imperial clan for thousands of years, one wondered how they would feel.
Chu Feng and Jiang Yisheng, Jiang Wushan and Zhang Tianyi had a long conversation over a cup of wine for a whole day.
From the long talk, he had more or less gained the experience of the three men’s breakthrough, but Chu Feng did not know whether their experience would be useful to him, for after all, he was completely different from these three men.
After taking a few days to adjust and restore his body to its best condition, Chu Feng left the mysterious man in the care of Daoist Qinglong, and began his own retreat in the special retreat place of the Jiang Dynasty.
This retreat place was also very elaborate, as he was a place where only imperial lords, princesses, imperial sons, or meritorious officials of the imperial dynasty, could retreat.
This place, with a long history and special effects, is called the Eighteen Golden Dragon Vision Formation.
When Chu Feng closed his retreat, the Green Dragon Daoist, the Demon Monkey King, the Imperial Lord of the Jiang Clan, and the old ancestor of the imperial dynasty who had awakened from his serious injuries.
As well as Jiang Hengyuan and other imperial dynasty experts, Zhang Tianyi, Jiang Wushen, Jiang Yini and other imperial juniors, all gathered at the top of a tall tower.
It was because here, one could clearly gaze upon the Eighteen Golden Dragon Vision Formation that Chu Feng was secluded in.
“I’ve heard that the Jiang Imperial Clan’s Eighteen Golden Dragon Vision Formation is very elaborate, I just don’t know what is special about it?” The Demon Monkey King, looking at the circular platform that was flush with the ground, did not see anything special, so he asked curiously.
“Senior Monkey King, this Eighteen Golden Dragon Vision Formation of my clan was built by our ancestor based on the supreme secret techniques of the imperial clan, and it is all related to the lifeblood of my Jiang imperial clan.”
“The place of cultivation is built under the ground, but after a successful breakthrough, fluctuations will be created on the ground monument, especially when someone breaks through to the Heavenly Martial Realm, there will be beams of light from within that circular platform, rising up to the sky.”
“And the more pillars of light there are, the stronger the potential and talent of that person.” Speaking here, Jiang’s old ancestor could not help but look towards Daoist Qinglong at the side and smiled, “It is said that when Senior Qinglong broke through to the Heavenly Martial Realm, he was also in this Eighteen Golden Dragons Vision Formation, and at that time, an unprecedented seven pillars of light were stirred up.”
“So powerful?!” Hearing this, everyone could not help but exclaim in amazement, and their gazes towards Daoist Qinglong became complicated, because many of the people here had broken through to the Heavenly Martial Realm at that Eighteen Golden Dragons Vision Formation, so they were well aware of what the seven pillars of light, represented.
“Hehe, yes indeed.” In response to the rather awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, the Daoist of the Green Dragon stroked his beard and nodded in a rather smug manner.
“Senior Qinglong is indeed formidable, but this record was broken by my younger brother, who had stirred up eight pillars of light during my younger brother’s breakthrough.” Just then, Jiang Yanni spoke up.
“Wow?” Hearing this, Daoist Qinglong also couldn’t help but change his expression and glanced at Jiang Wusheng, but soon that suspicion, turned into certainty.
This was because he had discovered that this little brat was really something, indeed he was much more powerful than when he was younger, and among the younger generation present, only Zhang Tianyi could compete with him.
“So, why do you call this place, the Eighteen Golden Dragon Vision Formation?” Suddenly, Zhang Tianyi asked curiously.
“Hehe, it’s because, according to legend, when someone is able to stir up eighteen beams of light, the beams will transform into eighteen golden dragons, hovering in the sky and presenting a vision.”
“At that time, it won’t just be as simple as a vision either, the inherited bloodline of all the members of my Jiang Imperial Clan will also be enhanced.”
“However, this is only a legend.” Speaking of this, the Jiang Clan’s old ancestor first sighed helplessly, then looked towards Jiang Wushen and said, “Because so far, the eight pillars of light that Wushen has stirred up are already the maximum number, so it can be seen how difficult the eighteen pillars of light will be.”
