Chapter 5996: One Of the Ten Immortal Exalted Is Guarding This Place

“Elder, you’re flattering me,” Chu Feng replied with a smile as he pushed Huahua away.

He was a normal man.

He would admire beautiful women too, and Huahua was indeed a ravishing woman. However, he didn’t harbor any thoughts about her. He earnestly respected her as an elder because she and Xia Xingchen were from the same era as his mother.

Hugging was still fine, but kissing was a bit beyond him.

Chu Feng was tactful in his response. He didn’t make any remark about that, and his movements were gentle too.

Naturally, Huahua wasn’t angry. Being no fool, she understood the meaning behind Chu Feng’s reaction. A smile remained on her face, but she couldn’t help feeling disappointed. This was her first time taking the initiative to approach a man, after all.

Cough cough. Xia Xingchen interjected. “Now is not the time for idle chatter. You shouldn’t look down on the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect.”

At Xia Xingchen’s reminder, the three of them ventured ahead.

With Chu Feng and Huahua working hand in hand, they easily breached the formations left behind by the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect. It didn’t take them long to successfully infiltrate the underground world.

The underground world was beautiful, but Chu Feng and the others weren’t in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

Along with the scenery was a massive group of people numbering in the hundreds of millions. They weren’t humans but monstrous beasts.

Each of them was around ten meters in height. They stood on two feet and had facial features reminiscent of a human, but their physique made it clear that they weren’t humans. They didn’t wear any clothes, as there was no need for that. Their bodies had natural black armor.

The black armor was their skin.

Their towering stature, imposing armor, and ferocious glares made it look like they were not to be trifled with, but the appearance was deceptive. Their impressive appearance wasn’t backed by powerful cultivation.

They didn’t conceal their cultivation, so Chu Feng could tell that the strongest among them was only at early True God level, but only a thousand of them had reached that level.

Most of them were stuck at Martial Exalted level, and they were lying on the ground, looking incredibly tired.

“This Ancient Era’s race is surprisingly weak despite their strong appearance. No wonder they are enslaved by the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect,” Huahua remarked.

She had learned from Xia Xingchen that the Ancient Era’s race was kept alive because they could help with the refinement of the cultivation resources.

“The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectmembers must have finally gained a conscience to allow them to rest,” Xia Xingchen remarked.

“Are they usually not allowed to rest?” Huahua asked.

“Rank eight True God level?” Huahua’s face lit up.

“We don’t have to fear him then. Now that I have awakened my bloodline, my fighting prowess is on par with a rank eight True God level cultivator. Also, big sister Xingchen, you’re at rank five True God level and can raise your cultivation by three ranks, right? We should be able to deal with him if we join hands.”

“Elder, you have reached rank five True God level?” Chu Feng looked at Xia Xingchen.

The latter had yet to reveal her cultivation even though they had spent some time together now. If what Huahua said was true, it would mean that Xia Xingchen had made great progress within a short time.

“What’s wrong? Are elders like us not allowed to grow fast?” Xia Xingchen replied with a pout.

Despite Chu Feng addressing her as an elder, Xia Xingchen didn’t act like an elder in front of him. Instead, she often put on a cheeky front.

“Of course not. I’m just impressed by your talent. The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect must be blind to overlook a prodigy like you. If they had put more resources in you, the strongest expert in the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect might not be their sectmaster anymore,” Chu Feng said.

“You’re fawning on me, but I’ll take it.” Xia Xingchen crossed her arms smugly, showing her confidence in her talent. Seconds later, she turned to Huahua and said, “But Huahua, while it’s true that the two of us can put up a fight against a rank eight True God level cultivator, based on what I know, Qin Hanwu can raise his fighting prowess by a cultivation rank too.”

“So, his true fighting prowess is at pinnacle True God level? That is indeed beyond our means to deal with.” Huahua finally understood why Xia Xingchen was so worried.

“It won’t matter how strong he is if we don’t cross blows with him,” Chu Feng said.

“Do you have a foolproof plan?”

“I expected no less from you, Chu Feng!”

Both Huahua and Xia Xingchen, despite being renowned prodigies from the older generation, looked at Chu Feng with eyes of admiration.

However, Chu Feng shook his head and replied, “That isn’t it. I inspected the area and my conclusion is that the cultivation resources here have been all moved away. That’s why the Ancient Era’s race isn’t working. That might be also the reason the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect loosened the security here.”

“It’s gone?! That explains it.”

Both Xia Xingchen and Huahua lowered their heads in disappointment.

Suddenly, Chu Feng turned his sight downward. He sensed a gaze on him. Tracing the gaze, his eyes fell upon a boy in the Ancient Era’s clan.

The boy was around three meters tall, which made him much taller than normal human adults, but he was still a child in the Ancient Era’s race. Yet, he was staring unblinkingly at the three of them, so much so that it didn’t seem like a coincidence.

But how could that be possible? Chu Feng and the others had put a lot of effort into their disguise.

Just as Chu Feng was wondering whether he was thinking too much, the boy suddenly raised his finger and pointed at him.
