Chapter 5896: Right to Sainthood
Chu Feng noticed that the Three Saints Monstrous Clan’s Clan Chief’s expression was strained despite his cool words.
The clan chief was so powerful that Chu Feng was unable to estimate the latter’s cultivation level; all he could feel was the immense destructive energy exploding from the latter’s body. However, the pressure from the sky was even stronger.
It was a clash between two invisible forces, but their clash produced blinding sparks and devastating shockwaves that obliterated everything in the surroundings. The desert melted under the sheer heat from the clash.
However, it didn’t look like the clan chief could last much longer against the pressure.
Chu Feng was perplexed. It didn’t make sense for them to encounter such terrifying pressure. He felt that there was more to this matter than what he saw.
“Elder Clan Chief, let’s retreat first,” Chu Feng said.
“All right.” The Three Saints Monstrous Clan’s Clan Chief tanked the pressure while the group returned to the white space.
As soon as they stepped into the white space, the dark lightning clouds above the desert dissipated, and the terrifying pressure vanished. The obliterated desert also reverted to its previous pristine condition, as if someone had rewound time.
“Chu Feng, that pressure is not to be underestimated. Is there a way to circumvent it?” the clan chief asked.
“I’ll have to test things out. Elder, you stay here and wait for me first,” Chu Feng said before venturing into the desert alone.
“Wait a moment,” the Three Saints Monstrous Clan’s Clan Chief suddenly spoke up before glancing at Sansheng Xingyu.
“I’ll go with you.” Sansheng Xingyu caught the drift and walked over to Chu Feng’s side.
Chu Feng acknowledged her with a smile. The two of them stepped into the desert together.
This time, the dark lightning clouds didn’t appear, but Chu Feng suspected that he might have to venture deeper into the desert to trigger it.
Thus, they journeyed deeper into the desert, and just as he had suspected, the dark lightning clouds soon appeared together with the pressure.
Without any hesitation, Zi Ling flitted over to his side.
The pressure was different for each individual. Chu Feng could help Sansheng Qiutian tank his pressure, but the pressure would then grow stronger till none of them could advance anymore.
“Ey!” The clan chief covered his face in embarrassment, but he couldn’t do anything other than wait in the white space.
He watched as Chu Feng pulled his son up and supported him as he staggered forward. They slowly advanced further and further, till they vanished amid the desert.
“Chu Xuanyuan, how are you so lucky to find such a talented wife and give birth to such a formidable son? I’m really envious of you,” the clan chief said with a sigh.
The lightning wasn’t the only obstacle standing in their way; there was also a huge sandstorm that hindered their vision too.
Fortunately, Sansheng Qiutian was in a better condition after consuming a pill from Chu Feng. He was at least able to walk by himself now.
“Brother Chu Feng, your pill sure is useful!” Sansheng Qiutian grinned at Chu Feng.
“That’s good to hear. Tell me if you’re feeling unwell. Don’t push yourself,” Chu Feng replied.
“Eyyyy~” Sansheng Qiutian sighed upon hearing those words. “Brother Chu Feng, Miss Zi Ling, will you look down on me for being so weak despite being the clan chief’s son?”
“How can someone of your cultivation be considered weak?” Chu Feng asked.
“I am weak compared to you. I only reached my cultivation level thanks to the resources from my father. It looks like our ancestor’s compass is off.” Sansheng Qiutian sighed in lamentation.
“Our ancestor’s compass can’t be wrong. Sansheng Qiutian, you just aren’t working hard enough,” Sansheng Xingyu suddenly angrily spoke up.
She was angry at Sansheng Qiutian for refusing to work hard despite enjoying the best cultivation resources.
“Xingyu, am I really not working hard enough? We have cultivated together from a young age, but when have I ever lazed off before? I...” Sansheng Qiutian spoke in agitation. He seemed to have a lot to say, but he stopped halfway through and shook his head. “Maybe I am not working hard enough.”
“What’s the ancestor’s compass?” Chu Feng asked.
Sansheng Xingyu was the one who answered the question. “It’s a special detection tool left behind by our ancestors. It determines whether one has the potential to become a saint or not. Only two of our clansmen have ever managed to evoke a response from it. One of them is our current Lord Clan Chief, and the other one...”
Sansheng Xingyu looked at Sansheng Qiutian.
