Chapter 5955: Jie Tian Is Still Around?

Remnants tended to be obscure, either hidden underground or located in a remote mountain. Yet, the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s remnant was a majestic city that sat in the middle of a plain, clear for all to see.

It had over a million palaces, and most of them were suitable for a normal-sized human to live in. Only the palace in the center of the city was unique.

That palace was a hundred times larger than that of the other palaces, towering over the others like an emperor. It naturally caught the attention of anyone entering the remnant.

Anyone could freely enter or leave the palaces, evident from how this city was filled with people. Many people had set up stores to sell their goods, and their business was not bad.

“Interesting.”

Chu Feng disguised himself before making his way into the city.

He was previously hesitant to disguise himself because someone kidnapped Zhao Hong and threatened him not to disguise himself. However, he had long suspected whether that person was friend or foe.

After all, there was no need for that person to beat around the bush if he wanted to deal with Chu Feng.

Later on, he encountered an emergency that left him no choice but to disguise himself. He wanted to see if that person would harm him or Zhao Hong if he disguised himself, or if it was just an empty scare.

In the end, nothing happened.

It could also be possible that the person who kidnapped Zhao Hong wasn’t so powerful as to be able to sense that Chu Feng had disguised himself. However, Chu Feng was inclined to believe that the other party was an elder who wanted to force him to grow, and Zhao Hong was safe.

Regardless, he was at least open to the idea of disguising himself now.

With the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion after him, it would be inconvenient for him to travel around if he couldn’t disguise himself.

It didn’t take long for Chu Feng to figure out what was going on here.

This entire city was the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s remnant, and its million palaces previously contained treasures. However, most of the formations were breached over time, and the treasures inside those palaces were taken away.

Anyone who was above a hundred years old would no longer be considered a junior, so once those who were holding onto the junior token exceeded a hundred years of age, their names would be erased from the shield. A new junior would then claim possession of it.

“Most people occupying the death immunity token were only able to trigger the silver token. Only one person in history has ever triggered the gold death immunity token. It’s rumored that the gold death immunity token comes with more benefits, but there’s no way to verify that,” the freckled man said.

“The person who triggered the gold death immunity token is Jie Ranqing, right?” Chu Feng asked.

“You’re a smart one. Yes, it is Jie Ranqing. This shows that Elder Jie Ranqing is unrivaled not only in her generation but in the present one too. Even in the current generation, known to be the most talented generation in history, none could rival her,” the freckled man said.

“What about Ling Xiao? Has he not challenged this trial?” Chu Feng asked.

“The junior token has been occupied by Ling Xiao all this while, but a few days ago, Jie Tian came here and broke Ling Xiao’s record, thus leaving his name in place,” the freckled man said. “You have heard about Jie Tian, right?”

The freckled man switched to voice transmission before continuing, “He’s Lord Jie Tiannian and Lord Jie Mubai’s son, and he inherited the Ruler’s Bloodline. However, he was the first one to be eliminated in the recent Nine Heavens’ Zenith, so many speculated that he’s all talk.

“Judging from how Jie Tian broke Ling Xiao’s record, I’d say that he has substance, though I do wonder how he’d fare against Jie Ranqing’s son, Chu Feng. I’m personally leaning more toward Chu Feng.”

Chu Feng was intrigued to hear that. “Why do you lean toward Chu Feng?”

That question spurred the freckled man’s excitement, and he began explaining with exaggerated expressions.

“Chu Feng was the champion of the Nine Heavens’ Zenith, and he possesses the Ruler’s Bloodline too. I heard that the prodigies who attended the Nine Heavens’ Zenith are filled with praises for him, though they dared not say anything in public out of fear of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

“The juniors from an Ancient Era’s clan joined the Nine Heavens’ Zenith too, and they were incredibly arrogant. All of the juniors were suppressed by them, including Xianhai Shaoyu. However, Chu Feng stood forward and defeated them, thus protecting the dignity of present-day cultivators.”

“Does Chu Feng have such a good reputation?” Chu Feng asked with a smile.

“Of course! I doubt there are juniors who don't admire Chu Feng. You know the Totem Dragon Clan, right? There was a rebellion a while back. Why do you think Long Chengyu and the others were able to safely attend the Nine Heavens’ Zenith? It’s because Chu Feng saved them. He’s both strong and loyal; he’s a role model for us all!

“It’s just a pity that...” The freckled man suddenly sighed in regret.

“What’s a pity?” Chu Feng asked.

“It doesn’t seem like Chu Feng will be coming here. He doesn’t have any interest in the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s remnants, and I haven’t heard any news about him challenging any of the remnants either. If only he came, we would know who’s superior, him or Jie Tian.”
