"In theory, it's possible, but the difficulty is extraordinarily high."
"However, Feng'er, think about it — if a Heavenly Bestowed Divine Power can be separated from its original host, then theoretically… it should also be transferable to another person."
"In fact, there are already many people who can enable a single Heavenly Bestowed Divine Power holder to wield multiple Heavenly Bestowed Divine Powers, thereby greatly enhancing their strength."
"The only issue is that the constitution of a Heavenly Bestowed Divine Power holder seems to be inherently different from that of ordinary people like us."
"So while a Heavenly Bestowed Divine Power can be transferred to another Heavenly Bestowed Divine Power holder, transferring one to an ordinary person is extremely difficult."
"But I know someone who can pull off exactly that. When you reach the Outer World, you can seek this person out. If he's willing to help, you'll have a real chance of becoming the true master of the Divine Power of the Four Symbols — a supreme powerhouse who possesses both a Heavenly Bestowed Divine Power and the Heavenly Thunder Bloodline,"
"What is this person's name?"
"The Old Daoist Ox-Nose," Chu Xuanyuan replied.
"Old Daoist Ox-Nose?" Chu Feng committed the name to memory.
"That's right, that's his name. But this fellow is a real handful — if you want him to help you, you'll have to put in quite the effort."
"But that's a matter for later. What you need to do right now is convince the Divine Power of the Four Symbols to obediently return to being a secret skill," Chu Xuanyuan said.
"Father, should I go now?" Chu Feng asked.
"Go." Chu Xuanyuan waved his hand, and Chu Feng felt the world around him blur. When his vision cleared, he found himself standing at the location of the Four Sacred Beasts.
Upon seeing Chu Feng arrive, the
Now only Chu Feng and the Four Sacred Beasts remained.
"Chu Feng, how did it go? Did you see your father?" the Four Sacred Beasts asked, their voices filled with genuine concern.
"I did. But there's something I need to tell you four, seniors," Chu Feng said.
"What is it?" the Four Sacred Beasts asked in unison, their expressions growing solemn. The fact that Chu Feng came straight to them upon his return told them something was amiss.
"If things continue the way they are now, you four may not live much longer," Chu Feng said.
The moment those words left his lips, the Four Sacred Beasts fell silent. Those few short sentences seemed to bring a flood of thoughts — including, of course, the words once spoken by the
In that instant, Chu Feng saw sorrow in the eyes of the Four Sacred Beasts. It was a deep, profound sorrow.
And yet, even so, after exchanging a glance with one another, the Four Sacred Beasts suddenly raised their heads and forced a smile. They said to Chu Feng: "Chu Feng, if that's the case, then I'm afraid we won't be able to accompany you to the Outer World."
"But even if all four of us went, we wouldn't be much help to you — you'd probably just have to look after us. So this is actually a blessing in disguise. At the very least, we four are no longer a burden to you."
"Chu Feng, the four of us sincerely hope that you'll make a great name for yourself in the Outer World. Show your family just how enormous a mistake it was for them to cast you out here."
They were putting on brave faces — absolutely putting on brave faces. But their blessings came from the bottom of their hearts. They genuinely wished for Chu Feng to thrive.
"Seniors, if you're willing, you can fight alongside me in the Outer World."
"There is a method that would allow you to keep on living. Only… it would require you to accept the hardship of returning to being secret skills," Chu Feng said honestly.
"Chu Feng, do you mean that? Is there truly a way for us to become secret skills again?" The moment they heard this, the Four Sacred Beasts' expressions changed dramatically, and a spark of excitement surged in their eyes.
It was clear they wanted to keep living. They didn't want to die like this.
But they understood all too well that their current state was nothing like what it had once been. Becoming secret skills again was already extraordinarily difficult — far harder than it had been in the past, perhaps even impossible.
"My father can help you four return to being secret skills," Chu Feng said.
"If that's truly possible, then we'll have to trouble your father," the Four Sacred Beasts nodded, one after another.
"Then I'll go speak with him right away." Chu Feng turned to leave.
"Wait, Chu Feng." Suddenly,
