Chapter 6741: The Three Hundred Immemorial Gods

“Of course you do. No one is stronger than our master, be it in the Ancient Era or the present era. If I have to name someone who has at least the remotest chance of surpassing our master, that person would be you. But that’s only possible after you attain our master’s legacy,” the red lightning beast said.

“Elder, I didn’t know you had such a high evaluation of me.” Chu Feng was overjoyed.

These two lightning beasts were the Heavenly Sacred Master’s bloodline. They had once been at the peak of the world of cultivation.

“It’s only a possibility. Don’t get ahead of yourself. You still have a long way to go. Once you obtain my master’s legacy, even if you fail to surpass him, you will still be the strongest person in the present era. Your wish will be fulfilled. No one will be able to hurt your friends and family,” the red lightning beast said.

“Elders, it sounds like you want me to become the strongest person, so that I can stand against the imminent calamity,” Chu Feng pointed out.

When the calamity struck, it was only natural for the strongest person to step forward and confront it. Even if he didn’t care about the masses, he would still have to protect his friends and family. No matter what, he wouldn’t be able to remain idle.

“Chu Feng, we have told you everything because we intend to help you obtain our master’s legacy. While I believe you are the most likely candidate to overcome the calamity, the choice is in your hands. We won’t force you into anything, so you don’t need to feel burdened,” the red lightning beast said.

“I’m of the same mind,” the blue lightning beast added.

“Thank you, elders.”

Chu Feng was moved. He could tell that the two lightning beasts were sincere.

If there were no other choices, he would fight against the calamity with all his might. No one would sit still in the face of death. But if he could protect his family and friends without facing the calamity, he could potentially make another choice. Even he didn’t know how he would choose until the moment arrived.

“Elder, what should I do now?” Chu Feng asked.

“Bid your friends and family farewell. It’s time for you to enter the Ninth Galaxy,” the red lightning beast said.

“Shouldn’t I make a trip back to the Chu Heavenly Clan’s forbidden land first?” Chu Feng asked.

“For what?” the red lightning beast asked.

“Isn’t there still the Heavenly Bloodline Sacred Realm?”

“You fool. Didn’t I already tell you that your father was able to grow by leaps and bounds because of the Heavenly Bloodline Sacred Realm?”

“Wait... You’re saying that my father depleted the Heavenly Bloodline Sacred Realm?”

“To be exact, your father took it away with him. He’s using it as a handy cultivation resource.”

“This...” Chu Feng was rendered speechless.

“Don’t blame your father too much for this. You possess Imperial God-tier bloodline, after all. We’re far more useful to you than the Heavenly Bloodline Sacred Realm is,” the red lightning beast said.

“That’s true.”

Chu Feng did think his father was too much for not leaving anything behind for him, but on second thought, his father did leave God’s Era, a far more valuable treasure, behind and paved the path for him to obtain it. If not for the support of the lightning beasts, he would have never reached his current level.

On top of that, God’s Era’s power had enhanced the bloodlines of his friends and family, especially the Chu Heavenly Clan. It had also restored Jie Shanxian, Jie Baobao, Daoist Starseizer, and Jie Tiannian’s bloodline and spirit power.

Not to mention that God’s Era’s true treasure was the Heavenly Sacred Master’s legacy.

His father was far from being a selfless individual, but he did care about him.

“It’s about time. Go say your farewells to your friends and family. We’ll make a trip to the Nine Heavens Secret Domain before setting off.” The two lightning beasts turned around to return to Chu Feng’s dantian world.

“Wait a moment, elders,” Chu Feng called out.

“What’s wrong?” the red lightning beast asked.

“Are you familiar with the two elders in the Nine Heavens Secret Domain?”

He was curious about those two elders. He had found them unfathomable, like true gods, and two lightning beasts appeared to know about them. He was afraid that the two lightning beasts would revert to their cold demeanor the next time they chatted, so he wanted to gather as much information as he could.

“Aren’t you curious about everything? But there’s no harm in telling you. Those two people have existed since the early years of the Immemorial Era. You can say that they are one of the oldest people in the world.

“There are slight differences between the Immemorial Era and the Ancient Era. The strongest people in the Ancient Era proclaim themselves ‘Emperor’ or ‘Saint’. As for those who address themselves as ‘Gods’ in the Ancient Era, most are self-proclaimed. That Divine Deer inside you is just a divine skill, but it still calls itself a god,” the red lightning beast said.

“Ah...” Chu Feng didn’t know what to say. The Divine Deer was a respected elder, after all.

“Things were different in the Immemorial Era. There were no emperors or saints. Even the cultivation levels then were called something different.

“Our master continued to work on his cultivation even after founding the Heavenly Sacred Temple and imparting his martial path to others. To better govern the world of cultivation, he personally picked strong and reliable individuals and conferred godhood upon them.

“There were a hundred human gods, a hundred monstrous beast gods, and a hundred spirit being gods. These three hundred gods commanded the highest standing in the Immemorial Era, placed only beneath my master. They were true gods in the eyes of the masses. These were not self-declared titles; they were worshiped.

“But most of the three hundred gods died during the calamity in the Immemorial Era. Even the survivors sustained severe injuries and died one after another during the Ancient Era. I suspect that those two from the Nine Heavens Secret Domain are the only surviving Monstrous God and Spirit God,” the red lightning beast replied.

“Does that mean that you were comrades?” Chu Feng asked.

“They might be related to our master, but that’s none of our business. I don’t know what they are doing right now, and I have no interest in it, either,” the red lightning beast replied.

It raised its head and put on airs. The lightning beasts were proud beasts, being the foundation of the Heavenly Sacred Master’s cultivation.
