After Chu Feng joined the Spirit World Alliance, everyone was happy about it, but they obviously couldn't just stare at Chu Feng forever. Before long, they each dispersed on their own. However, none of them were in any rush to leave the Spirit World Alliance and return to the Spirit World Holy Assembly — they all remained here.
After all, tomorrow there would be another grand feast…
Once Chu Feng left that sacred palace, he followed Miao Renlong and Sima Ying back to Miao Renlong's residence. It was worth mentioning that Su Mei had come along as well.
The reason she followed was that Chu Feng was going to teach her a formation — the one that could suppress the backlash force within Su Mei. Though this was serious business, it was also an opportunity for the two to spend time alone together.
At this moment, the two were alone in a room. Chu Feng had already passed on that marvelous formation to his beloved Su Mei.
Now Su Mei was sitting in Chu Feng's arms, talking with him in an intimate and affectionate manner. These young lovers rarely got to be alone together, and they both cherished this moment dearly.
"Brother Chu Feng, you really are amazing."
"If it weren't for Master passing down his power to me, I'm afraid I'd never have had the chance to catch up to you in my lifetime."
"But even so, I still couldn't escape the fate of being surpassed by you, could I?"
"Sigh~~~, when it comes to geniuses, my Brother Chu Feng is truly the greatest. Back when we first met at the Azure Dragon Sect, I just thought you were some reckless kid. I never imagined you'd become this powerful."
Su Mei spoke with a deliberately sour tone, yet her expression was sweet through and through. She would never forget those days when she first came to know Chu Feng.
"Silly girl, your cultivation right now is actually far stronger than mine. You're a peak ninth-rank Martial King, while I'm only a sixth-rank Martial King — I don't even know how long it'll take me to catch up to you."
"Besides, it's not like you're going to stay stuck at this level forever. I can tell that your aura is very abundant right now. I believe you'll be able to attempt breaking through to the Half-Emperor realm soon, won't you?" Chu Feng said with a smile.
"I can't believe you noticed that too. As expected of my Brother Chu Feng. Actually, I am very close to the Half-Emperor realm. In truth, I've already attempted the breakthrough twice, but both times I failed."
"But I've found some clues and grasped certain insights. I just need to make a bit more preparation, and at most after three more attempts, I'll definitely step into the Half-Emperor realm." When she mentioned this, Su Mei was quite proud, because she really was on the verge of reaching the Half-Emperor realm.
"Half-Emperor — people on the Nine Provinces Continent have probably never even heard of this realm. If your family knew that you were about to become a Half-Emperor, who knows how happy they'd be," Chu Feng said with a laugh.
"Exactly. The old me wouldn't have dared to even dream about it. Back then, all I hoped for was to step into the Heaven Martial realm and become a Heaven Martial powerhouse — that would have been enough for me."
"Who would have thought that now I'd actually be connected to the word 'Emperor'? Just thinking about it makes me excited." When she spoke of this, Su Mei's face was full of happiness.
They were both cultivators, and who didn't want their cultivation to reach ever greater heights? After all, for cultivators, one's realm was a badge of honor.
"Chu Feng, get out here!!!" Just then, an angry roar suddenly sounded from outside.
"That's Lin Yezhou — what is he doing here?" The moment she heard that voice, Su Mei shot to her feet. She had already recognized from Lin Yezhou's voice that the man had not come with good intentions.
