Chapter 6562: Zi Ling’s Gains
A moment later, Wen Xue calmed down. “Choices weigh heavier than hard work in life. I believe that I have made the right choice.”
Having come to a self-compromise, she turned to Wuma Hanshuang and formed a hand seal.
The statue-like Wuma Hanshuang’s eyes suddenly regained some spirit. She was momentarily dazed, but as soon as her eyes fell on Wen Xue, intense killing intent burst forth from her.
But before she could make a move, the space around her shattered.
It was the result of overwhelming oppressive might, but it was not from her. It was Wen Xue.
“Master, you aren’t my match,” Wen Xue remarked.
“What kind of monster are you? What did you do to me?” Wuma Hanshuang roared with a mixture of fear and trepidation in her eyes.
“I merely used your body to handle some stuff. The job is done, so I decided to return your freedom. I am someone who knows gratitude, after all. You were using me as well, but I can tell whether you earnestly cared for me or not. That’s why I’ll allow you to leave, master.
“However, I’ll advise you against returning to the Netherworld Sect. You are now viewed as a traitor there,” Wen Xue said before vanishing into thin air.
Wuma Hanshuang stood on the spot with a complicated expression.
She knew something must have happened, but she didn’t have the slightest memory of what happened after she was controlled by Wen Xue. She first inspected her dantian. She confirmed that the gu Wen Xue had previously placed in there was gone.
She should be truly free now.
After some thought, she still decided to make her way toward the Undying Starfield.

Traversing through the Nine Realms Secret Domain on Qin Jiu’s boat, it didn’t take long for Chu Feng to arrive at the hideout of the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild’s leader. He was about to step in when the guild leader appeared in front of him.
“You’re finally back,” the guild leader remarked.
“I wasn’t gone for a long time,” Chu Feng pointed out with a smile.
“That might be true, but many things have happened in the meantime. Why do I see your shadow in every incident?”
“I did go to some places.”
Chu Feng scratched his head awkwardly. He could tell that the guild leader was accusing him of causing trouble everywhere
“Haaa!”
The guild leader sighed. Chu Feng was the future of the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, so how could she not worry about him? She knew that a cultivator’s path was bound to be fraught with danger, but Chu Feng’s path seemed exceptionally precarious. Danger seemed to follow him wherever he went.
“It’s good that you’re fine. I know why you returned. Come with me,” the guild leader said as she led Chu Feng deeper into the realm.
Some time later, they arrived before a stone tower.
“It looks like Zi Ling was indeed behind that phenomenon,” Eggy said in delight.
Chu Feng smiled as well.
Zi Ling was undergoing closed-door training in the stone tower, and the stone tower was currently enveloped by a blood-red lotus. The blood-red lotus was small, but it emanated a formidable aura. It was the same lotus from the phenomenon that enveloped this starfield.
Chances were that Zi Ling had reaped huge rewards from her closed-door training.
“You must have returned because you saw Zi Ling’s phenomenon,” the guild leader stated.
“That’s right.” Chu Feng nodded.
“Zi Ling carries a huge fortuitous encounter. Her closed-door training this time is very different from before. I sensed her aura right before the phenomenon appeared. Do you know what her cultivation was then?”
“What is it?”
“I know you’re close with Zi Ling, but you should be mentally prepared. This completely defies common sense. Don’t feel disheartened by her progress, lest it hinder your cultivation.”
“Elder, hurry up and tell me.”
“Rank nine True God.”
“She grew so fast?”
Chu Feng was both surprised and delighted by the revelation. Zi Ling had been at pinnacle Half-God level prior to her closed-door training, and she was aiming to reach True God level. Who could have thought that she would make such huge progress within a short span?
She hadn’t even emerged from her closed-door training, but she was already at rank nine True God level!
Chu Feng worried that Zi Ling’s foundation would be unstable as a result of her swift progress.
“Shocking, isn’t it? I have never seen anything like this. Chu Feng, you shouldn’t feel burdened by her progress. With your talent, it’s only a matter of time before you reach rank nine True God level,” the guild leader said. She was worried that this would affect Chu Feng’s state of mind.
“What are you saying, elder? I’m just worried that Zi Ling’s swift progress will destabilize her foundation,” Chu Feng replied.
He had also reached rank nine True God level, but he had progressed a step at a time through different fortuitous encountersencounters, so his foundation was still sturdy. Of course, there were fortuitous encounters that raised one’s cultivation without affecting one’s foundation, but he wouldn’t know whether that was the case for Zi Ling until he finally met her.
Till then, he was bound to be worried.
“I see. You don’t need to worry about her. Her aura was extremely stable when I sensed her rank nine True God level cultivation,” the guild leader replied.
That put Chu Feng’s heart at ease.
“Chu Feng, Zi Ling’s fortuitous encounter is related to the tower she obtained from your father, right?” Eggy asked out of curiosity.
“It should be.”
Chu Feng’s father had taken Zi Ling as his disciple and gifted her the blood-red ancient tower. The blood-red ancient tower consisted of three levels, and there was a door on each level. The blood-red ancient tower was likely the reason behind Zi Ling’s growth spurt.
However, the blood-red tower came with a massive downside. She had to open all three doors within a time limit, or else she would suffer a backlash from it.
The blood-red lotus shrouding the stone tower was identical to that of the phenomenon, but unlike the phenomenon, it was not a simple manifestation but a pure accumulation of power. This power emanated a similar aura to the woman he had once conversed with on the first level of the blood-red ancient tower.
Zi Ling must have gained the acknowledgment of that woman. That was why her cultivation surged to rank nine True God level, and chances were that she would reach rank one Heavenly God before she emerged from her closed-door training.
If this was the reward from unlocking the first level, he couldn’t imagine what the rewards for the second level and the third level would be.
The blood-red ancient tower was more terrifying than Chu Feng had expected.
“Don’t worry too much. Your father might have left you in the lurch, but he’s still quite reliable when it comes to treasures and powers. He is the god of tomb raiding, after all,” Eggy said.
“Um...” Chu Feng agreed that his father was an unfathomable individual, but Eggy’s remark felt a little off.
