Chapter 501: Senior

In any case, Chu Feng planned to tell his parents and younger brother, as well as Su Miaoke’s parents and younger brother. Whether they decided to practice Cultivation would be up to them.

Cultivation was something that couldn’t be forced upon others.

Therefore, it all came down to their personal choice.

“Yes, I understand. In any case, we should just let these things take their natural course. I’ll just focus on doing my best, and I’ll leave the rest to fate,” the Celestial Sword Sect Leader said.

She was no longer as fixated on it as she used to be. It was best to let everything happen naturally. If it was meant to be, it would happen. If not, it couldn’t be forced.

“You’re right. We can only let these things happen naturally. They can’t be forced,” Chu Feng said, nodding.

Even he himself was powerless in this regard. As long as he hadn’t undergone Crossing the Tribulation, there were many things he couldn’t do. He could only try his best.

“Darling, in that case, I think you should head over there sooner rather than later,” Su Miaoke said. “That way, you can find it earlier, and Master will have the chance to start her Cultivation sooner. We’ll be able to buy more time.”

“Yes, I know. Don’t worry. But not right now. I need to make some preparations,” Chu Feng said.

He had already reached the Martial Arts Limit, the Peak of Core Formation. He was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, so he first needed to prepare for Crossing the Tribulation.

It would be safer to go after he had finished Crossing the Tribulation.

The reason Chu Feng’s Cultivation had progressed so quickly was all thanks to the Netherworld Ghost King. If it weren’t for him, Chu Feng would have had to train painstakingly for a very long time.

With his help, Chu Feng had shot straight to the pinnacle, with just one final step to take.

“Yes, yes, it’s best to be fully prepared,” Su Miaoke said, nodding. She was very concerned for Chu Feng’s safety.

“Starting tomorrow, I will intensify my Cultivation to keep my strength and physical vitality at their peak. And as for you, I wish you a swift success in finding the Soul Cultivation Skill,” the Celestial Sword Sect Leader said.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely find it. In fact, there is another Sect that has found such a Soul Cultivation Skill, but they remain very weak. After so many generations, not one of them has ever successfully overcome the Celestial Tribulation,” Chu Feng said.

“Oh? There’s a Sect like that in the Great Xia Country? Do they have members who attempt Crossing the Tribulation in every generation? How have I never heard of them?” the Celestial Sword Sect Leader asked, puzzled. She mentally ran through every Sect she knew but couldn’t place it.

“The Sect is called the Cloud Mist Sect. It’s not large, nor does it have many members. It was mentioned in a secret text, recorded by your father himself. It only briefly mentioned a battle. Your father, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor, once fought the Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, and it ended in a draw,” Chu Feng explained.

“Now that you mention it, I do seem to recall something. I suppose there was such a Sect. I must have read about it in the past,” the Celestial Sword Sect Leader said.

“Li Zhengyi, the champion of this year’s Martial Arts Grand Ceremony, is a disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect. He’s extremely powerful,” Chu Feng said.

“So, you knew all along how strong Li Zhengyi was. That’s why you made that bet with the people from Spirit Sword Valley, wasn’t it?” Su Miaoke asked with a smile.

“Of course,” Chu Feng said with a laugh. “Why else would I bet with them? I only dare to make a bet when I’m certain I’ll win.”

“Chu Feng, that match I had against the person from the Netherworld Sect… did you have something to do with it? I know my own strength; there’s no way I should have been able to beat him,” Bai Xue suddenly asked.

The connection had occurred to her immediately. She had been suspicious during the match but hadn’t been certain, so she hadn’t dwelled on it.

“Hahaha, you could say that. In any case, we won that match,” Chu Feng said, laughing.

“Hmph. So you rig it just to win, get me into the top twenty, and then you just leave me high and dry? I ended up losing one match after another. It was horrible,” Bai Xue said with a pout, clearly displeased.

‘You could have at least let me win one match, right? That would’ve been much better than not winning any at all!’

“How old are you, and how old are they? You’re so much younger than them, what do you have to be upset about? In a few more years of Cultivation, you’ll easily surpass them all,” Chu Feng said with a laugh.

“By the way, I remember you disappeared for a while during the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony. What were you doing then?” the Celestial Sword Sect Leader asked, a flicker of light in her eyes.

She was now highly suspicious of what Chu Feng had been doing during that time.

“Master, your guess is correct. I did indeed take a trip to the Cloud Mist Sect. I met the one who fought your father, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor, all those years ago. At the time, he was on the verge of Crossing the Tribulation. That senior is an incredible man—he’s lived for over three hundred years,” Chu Feng said with a smile.

“He made it all the way to Crossing the Tribulation?” the Celestial Sword Sect Leader asked in astonishment.

This was the first time she had ever heard of someone actually reaching the point of Crossing the Tribulation, so she was thrilled and wanted to know every detail.

“Yes, he attempted Crossing the Tribulation. Although anyone who can make it that far is incredibly powerful, he didn’t succeed. He didn’t even make it halfway through the Celestial Tribulation,” Chu Feng said.
