Chapter 6109: Giving Up On the Challenge
“How much luck energy did you receive? Why don’t I sense anything?” Liu Kuo asked.
“Neither Baili Zilin nor I will be receiving any luck energy unless someone clears the subsequent challenge,” Chu Feng said.
“Ah? You achieved results better than anyone else, but you got nothing out of the Luck Saint Realm? That’s unreasonable!” Liu Kuo exclaimed indignantly.
“It’s my first time in the Luck Saint Realm, so I don’t know what things were like previously, but I suspect that the changes surrounding the Luck Saint Realm is caused by the person behind Baili Zilin. Let’s see how it goes. If my guess is right, most people will struggle to get anything out of the Luck Saint Realm. Even if they get something, it’ll likely be less than usual,” Chu Feng said.
Liu Kuo quickly grasped Chu Feng’s drift. “You’re saying this Luck Saint Realm is just an empty chest?”
“Not exactly. I suspect that while the Netherworld Sect has some influence over the Luck Saint Realm, they don’t have full control over it. There’s no need for them to do all these otherwise,” Chu Feng said.
“Brother Chu Feng, are you saying that the Netherworld Sectmembers have gotten most of what’s inside the Luck Saint Realm, but there’s one last treasure in there that they haven’t been able to claim—the strongest luck energy that Jie Tianran failed to acquire back then?
“The Netherworld Sect has to challenge the Luck Saint Realm normally to acquire the strongest luck energy, and it happens that Baili Zilin has a powerful world spiritist bloodline, so they decided to put him to it. Is that the case?” Liu Kuo asked.
“That’s my guess.” Chu Feng nodded.
Boom!
A brilliant light radiated from the direction of the Luck Saint Realm.
Looking over, the light came from a humongous glowing sphere far larger than most Upper Realms. This sphere wasn’t there initially; it was manifested from the light emanated by the Luck Saint Realm.
The light was initially as bright as the sun, but its brilliance slowly receded to reveal a formation realm.
“Brother Chu Feng is right. They intentionally chose to activate the Luck Saint Realm now because they knew Jie Tianran and the others had their hands full dealing with God’s Era. They were biding their time to ensure they would obtain the strongest luck energy! The Netherworld Sect sure is shameless!” Liu Kuo cursed.
Chu Feng was at a huge disadvantage here as he didn’t have anyone to back him. Even the Totem Dragon Clan was no match for the Netherworld Sect.
Liu Kuo turned to Master Nine Zenith.
Master Nine Zenith frowned. He turned to Chu Feng and said apologetically, “Benefactor Chu Feng, I have a high opinion of you, but I’m not the master of the Nine Heavens’ Zenith. I’m merely temporarily taking care of it. I’m afraid I can’t step forward to support you.
“Master, please don’t say that. I’m grateful for the help you have offered me thus far. You don’t owe me anything, so you aren’t obligated to do me any favors. Besides...”
Chu Feng revealed his intention—he was planning to give up on the challenge.
“Brother Chu Feng, you aren’t going to challenge the strongest luck energy? Why? This is a good opportunity!” Liu Kuo was baffled.
“I wouldn’t have given up if it was an individual battle, but the Luck Saint Realm isn’t exaggerating when it said that external help is crucial for the final trial.
“The Netherworld Sect is determined to obtain the strongest luck energy. I’m certain they will take precautions to ensure things go their way. I’m afraid of implicating my friends if I insist on challenging it. There are many other fortuitous encounters in the world of cultivation; I don’t mind backing out from the Luck Saint Realm if they want it so much,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.
“That’s true.” Liu Kuo nodded in agreement.
He would have wanted his master to help Chu Feng, but he understood where his master was coming from too. The Nine Heavens’ Zenith had a rule to steer clear from the affairs of the world of cultivation.
This rule was established not by Master Nine Zenith but by the creator of the Nine Heaven’s Zenith.
Strictly speaking, Master Nine Zenith had already broken the rule for Chu Feng, but even so, it wouldn’t do for him to do it so blatantly, or else he would be letting down the Nine Heavens’ Zenith’s creator.
It would be unwise for Chu Feng to take on the challenge if his master wasn’t planning on helping him.
All of a sudden, Liu Kuo thought of something and turned to Master Nine Zenith. “Master, didn’t you mention that you have noticed a change in the Immemorial Massacre Sea through the Nine Heavens’ Zenith’s formation?”
