Chapter 37 This Jade Gourd Is Really a Treasure

If it were him, he would probably have died on the spot.

Yan Bang could not help but respect him.

“I’ve made you worried, Brother Yan Bang. I’m fine.”

Apart from Ji Rui, there was probably no one else at the scene who really cared about him. Yan Bang probably could not wait for him to die and was still shedding crocodile tears here.

Even he himself still felt a sense of illusion when he stood up.

With the huge commotion just now, he also thought that he was really going to cross over to the other side.

Even though the Sakya blood helped with the restoration of his muscles, his entire body ached as if he had just made a return trip to the gates of hell.

Yan Bang saw the coldness in Chu Feng’s eyes and smiled awkwardly.

“It’s good to know that you’re fine. I was worried that you would… Brother Chu, you will be blessed with good fortune after surviving a disaster.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”

Chu Feng conversed politely and turned to leave.

Yan Bang’s terrified gaze landed on the gourd in his hand and he asked with a trembling voice, “But did the jade gourd contain the thing we were looking for? That would cause the skeleton of a Martial Emperor who had passed for millions of years to suddenly come back to life.”

Weidai He looked equally puzzled.

Unfortunately, the treasure was not in her hands. Otherwise, she would definitely bring it back to show her clan chief.

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon lazily swayed its long tail and slowly said, “This thing is called the Soul Concealing Gourd and it’s a backup plan that this old fellow prepared for himself. It’s not very useful and can only nourish its master’s soul.”

The attack of the Martial Emperor earlier had made it instinctively afraid.

Even now, the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon still could not figure out how Chu Feng had survived the attack.

However, all these had nothing to do with it from now on!

Since it had obtained the dragon pearl, it would definitely be able to leave this godforsaken place completely.

“Soul Concealing Gourd? That’s a strange name.”

Chu Feng thought for a moment and said, “Do you mean that this Martial Emperor cultivator hid his soul in the gourd so he can revive his skeleton today?”

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon snorted disdainfully.

“Kid, do you know that his body has long been shattered? But as long as this jade gourd is around and as long as a trace of his indestructible soul is sent into the gourd, he can reconstruct his body even if it had been shattered into powder.”

“I see.”

Weidai He stared at the gourd in Chu Feng’s hand with an unfriendly glance and said, “We messed up his plan. After all, this is the bottom of the sea that no one can reach. He has plenty of time to nurture his divine sense and reconstruct his body, but we opened this gourd in advance.”

“If we hadn’t come today, he might have succeeded in his revival.”

Chu Feng shook his head and said, “We opened the gourd and made this Martial Emperor appear too early. This wisp of his divine sense knew that he would definitely die, so he vented his anger on us and wanted us to die with him?”

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon snorted and did not reply.

“No one can be sure about that.”

Weidai He shook her head and said slowly, “Who can guess the thoughts of someone who had died countless years ago?”

However, even a good-looking woman like her could not help but feel ashamed when she saw Ji Rui. Her eyes kept getting drawn to Ji Rui.

Perhaps this was what attracted the heavy attack of the revived Martial Emperor. After all, the Martial Emperor was also human and he was an emotive man when he was alive. It was not impossible for him to want to kill Ji Rui to die with him.

However, he did not expect Chu Feng to block this palm strike.

Even after taking on this strike, he could still stand here being alive and well…

Weidai He was extremely puzzled and could not help but look at him a few more times. How could this person, who was only an ordinary person without any cultivation, be able to take on a blow from a Martial Emperor under a freak combination of factors?

This must be the most incredible joke in the world.

Unless this person is hiding his cultivation.

Weidai He lowered her eyes and silently pondered this possibility.

Chu Feng threw the jade gourd in his hand to Ji Rui and said, “I have no use for this gourd. Why don’t you take it? It might be useful in the future.”

Ji Rui took the hint and silently accepted the gourd.

For martial cultivators, they would only be able to start the cultivation of divine sense from the Martial Sage level onwards. As only a fourth-stage Innate realm cultivator, Chu Feng indeed had no use for the gourd.

However, the entirely pitch-black saber was particularly unique.

Chu Feng asked for it and carefully put it away.

The whole group then took advantage of the dark night and quietly returned to the ship deck.

Under the moonlight, Chu Feng was so excited that he could not sleep. He kept playing with the saber and wiping the black blade with a handkerchief.

“It seems there are a few words carved into this saber?”

He let out a soft “eh” as he realized that the words on the blade were actually part of the words they had seen at the bottom of the sea.

“Underworld.”

“Why is this saber named Underworld and shares the same name as the ravine at the bottom of the sea? Could it be that this was the saber that split the entire Purgatory Sea into two?”

Chu Feng was shocked to his core. If that was really the work of this saber, how powerful was it?

In that case, when he fought with others in the future, he could breezily let them have a 39-meter head start first…

Thinking of the scene, Chu Feng was fascinated and carefully stroked the saber in his hand.

“Give me another two years. In two years, I must advance to the Martial Emperor realm. At that time, I will definitely unleash your full strength in front of the world.”

…

After the two of them returned to the Dual Polarity Sect, Chu Feng reverted to being the sect master’s husband who did nothing all day. He either drank tea, sang, played games or went to the Dual Polarity Sect’s library alone for an entire day.

Ji Rui had just returned for a while before she was summoned by Ji Zheng. She had to repeat the story of what had happened at the bottom of the sea.

When she recalled how Chu Feng had pushed her away and blocked the Martial Emperor’s full-strength attack for her, her voice inevitably softened.

Particularly when she thought about the part when Chu Feng said that phrase ‘my instinct is to protect you’, or even the part when he vomited blood with a pale face, Ji Rui would feel a jolt in her heart and yet she could not tell if it was from pain or joy.

However, Ji Rui deliberately omitted this incident from her story.

The proud Ji Rui was unwilling to admit in front of her father that she had been saved by the weak and helpless Chu Feng. This would make her seem too useless.

Initially, she only wanted to take him on a tour. However, under a freak combination of factors, Chu Feng had actually helped her so much…

Ji Rui handed the jade-colored gourd in her hand to Ji Zheng and said, “Father, you’re the best person to have this. Since it can nourish the soul of a Martial Emperor, perhaps it can also increase your lifespan.”

Ji Zheng smiled and pushed the gourd back.

“There’s no need. I’m already an old bag of bones. Since the kid gave it to you, you should keep it well.”
