Chapter 961: Chapter 50 Empress Feng’s Concerns [Combined]

Chu Liang’s strike was so swift, accurate, and vicious that even Venerable Azure Dragon and Daoist Yan were caught by surprise. The two mighty figures stared at him dumbfounded, neither having anticipated his sudden assault.

After killing Cai Yi, Chu Liang breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Golden Mark fly out. Turning around and realizing he was under the scrutiny of the two, he felt somewhat awkward.

"This..." He scratched his head, speaking earnestly, "She relied on Uncle Yan’s compassion and reluctance to harm. When elders are in trouble, it is only proper for the younger generation to take up the burden. Today, come what may, I had to personally put an end to this Demonic Creature!"

Chu Liang’s tone started off shaky, but as he spoke, it became increasingly resolute, as if he found his confidence during the process.

However...

Venerable Azure Dragon looked at Yan Zi with some puzzlement.

He had heard of Daoist Yan’s reputation. A man of few words in the Immortal Cultivation World, he seldom acted, but when he did, it resulted in certain death, and he was known for his ruthlessness.

Could such a person also be considered compassionate and soft-hearted in Shu Mountain?

How terrifying.

The three of them then returned to Shu Mountain. There might still be many treasures in Thousand Buildings Valley, but without Cai Yi, the ease with which they had previously penetrated the Illusion Field here was no longer possible. Since the previous battle had been quite draining, they decided to leave for now. However, having opened the map to Thousand Buildings Valley, others could continue to explore it in succession.

This time they had slain the Demon Seed suppressed under the Demon Suppression Tower, beheaded the Fox Demon King Cai Yi, and traced the whereabouts of Yan Renjie, which could be considered a fruitful harvest.

It was just a pity they never found the whereabouts of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Upon returning to Shu Mountain, Chu Liang reported the matter to the Shu Mountain Upper Echelon and the Peak Masters. Master Wen Yuan, upon hearing it, also sighed deeply.

"So the whole picture from five hundred years ago was like this. The Demon Suppression Tower went missing because of the Fox Demon King and Yan Renjie. Now that both have been laid to rest, that piece of history can fade away with the clouds and smoke," he said.

"Shu Mountain need not retrieve the Demon Suppression Tower; Chu Liang himself can surpass it," Wang Xuanling added from the side.

These had been Xu Ziyang’s bold words from the past, and now they had truly come to fruition—only the protagonist had changed to Chu Liang. Such a disciple was definitely not inferior to a Divine Artifact in terms of a contribution to an Immortal Sect.

Wang Xuanling had racked his brains over countless days and nights and still couldn’t understand why Empress Feng could mentor such a student, yet he couldn’t.

Could it be because he was too honest, sincere, earnest, reliable, responsible, and patient...?

Were these the flaws that had hindered him?

Not just he, but the entire Shu Mountain was shocked by Chu Liang’s cultivation level, including Master Wen Yuan.

Previously, no matter how fast Chu Liang progressed, it was still within the scope of human capabilities, something that had been achieved by others throughout history. But to reach the Eighth Realm at such a young age was absolutely unprecedented!

Although Chu Liang insisted that his cultivation was still at the Seventh Realm, and he had only temporarily borrowed the power of the Divine Dragon Ball, this was still astonishing.

After all, he had faced off against the well-established Eighth Realm cultivator Elder Cang Qiu directly.

Chu Liang knew that this was an extraordinary feat, so he had already claimed that Yan Renjie had made a great sacrifice to aid him... but this still could not overshadow his own brilliance.

Master Wen Yuan also ordered that Chu Liang’s cultivation level should not be boasted about publicly, preferring to keep the shock within the upper echelons of Shu Mountain.

If word were to get out, it might cause widespread unease across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Such a rising star, whose ascent was as swift as a shooting star, could genuinely make them fear for the future safety of their Immortal Sects.

"It’s just still a bit regrettable," Elder Chuan Jian lamented while clenching his fist. "First, it’s regrettable that there are Demon Gods in this age, otherwise I can’t think of anyone who could compete with Chu Liang for the Ninth Realm in a few years."

"Secondly, the Demon Suppression Tower in the end could not be found, and without any further clues, this Divine Artifact of Shu Mountain seems to be truly lost."

"Who says?" Master Wen Yuan smiled, "The master has said that the Demon Suppression Tower will definitely return to Shu Mountain."

...

What was somewhat curious, however, was that during such a glorious moment for Chu Liang, Empress Feng was nowhere to be seen. In the past, during times when she could show off, she would surely make hundreds of rounds around Shu Mountain, especially at the entrance of Jade Sword Peak, strutting around triumphantly.

But today, she did not even attend the assembly of the Peaks.

Although Chu Liang found this somewhat strange, he didn’t have time to ponder it at the moment. Perhaps the master was secretly admiring some paintings, but right now, he had a critical matter to attend to.

Rewarding himself!

He was eager, unwilling to wait even a moment longer. He had to reward himself immediately, or he would burst with anticipation!

Before, Navy had offered Chu an Illusory Treasure Spiritual Fetus, powerful enough to evolve Magical Treasures on the level of Divine Artifacts. Although it required a cooldown of hundreds of years after Master Wen Yuan replicated the Universe Ring during the assault on Penglai, it had still shone brightly, saving their lives.

The cultivation of Cai Yi was much stronger than Navy’s, not to mention the Demon Seed.

Chu Liang was now worried whether the White Pagoda could produce a treasure of that level.

As soon as his Godly Soul entered the White Pagoda, he saw mists swirling and lightning flashing. Chu Liang first caressed the Great Dao Puppet, which sparkled with fire and lightning; it was thanks to this that he achieved merit this time.

If it hadn’t been for its early control over the Divine Lightning Path’s success, perhaps Chu would have met his end there. Because this time, he officially claimed to have sent an avatar, but in fact, it was his true body that went.

This fact, even Cai Yi hadn’t known; otherwise, she might not have resorted to such a drastic measure as the Demons and Monster’s World specifically to kill both the avatar and the true body... Perhaps then, she might have succeeded.
