"Of course not. There are over a dozen Heavenly Clans in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, but only the
"That said, they are Heavenly Clans after all, so among second-rate forces, most of them are still relatively strong. But there are always exceptions — one or two of them aren't that impressive,"
"As expected, even with the same bloodline, there are still differences in strength."
Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh at this. He had originally figured that since the
After all, the power of a Heavenly bloodline was truly extraordinary.
But after hearing Liu Xiaoli's explanation, Chu Feng realized that simply wasn't the case.
Some among the Heavenly Clans had indeed squandered the gift of their Heavenly bloodline.
"Oh right, President Liu, have you ever heard of the Soul Infant Sect?" Chu Feng suddenly asked.
He hadn't forgotten the mission his father had entrusted to him — to eliminate the Soul Infant Sect.
"The Soul Infant Sect? I've never heard of it." Liu Xiaoli shook her head, then asked curiously, "What kind of force is that?"
"It's nothing. I just heard people in the Lower Realm say that there seems to be a force by that name in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, and apparently it's quite powerful, so I was curious," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"That's probably just a rumor. If it were truly powerful, I would have heard of it by now. I haven't encountered anything called the Soul Infant Sect among the second-rate forces either," Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.
"Probably." Although he said that, Chu Feng was convinced that the Soul Infant Sect truly existed. His father wouldn't have lied to him.
It was just that the Soul Infant Sect was a heretical path after all — perhaps they operated in extreme secrecy, which was why Liu Xiaoli had never heard of them.
"Oh right, Chu Feng, don't call me President Liu anymore. If you're willing, just call me Liu Xiaoli. The age gap between us isn't that great, we're both young — there's no need to be so formal."
"Besides, you've done a great service for our Red Butterfly Association. If you keep addressing me so formally, I'll feel embarrassed," Liu Xiaoli suddenly said.
"Not that great an age gap? There are several decades between you two, aren't there?"
But Chu Feng could only ignore Eggy's remark. Since Liu Xiaoli had already said as much, it would be rude to refuse, so he replied: "Very well. From now on, I'll call you Liu Xiaoli. But if someone from the Red Butterfly Association sees me addressing you by your name and decides to beat me up, I'm coming to you for protection."
"Oh please, as if that would happen." Liu Xiaoli burst into laughter at Chu Feng's quip.
"Oh right, Chu Feng, the reason I'm telling you all this is because I want you to understand that far too many powerful figures have gathered outside Cloud Crane Mountain, and with our strength, we're nothing but minor characters."
"We should keep a low profile. Even if someone says something offensive, if you can bear it, just bear it. After all, take a step back and the ocean and sky open up; endure for a moment and the winds and waves will calm down," Liu Xiaoli said.
"I understand." Chu Feng nodded with a smile. In truth, from the moment Liu Xiaoli had started explaining all of this, he had already grasped the situation.
After that, the two continued making their way toward Cloud Crane Mountain.
Sure enough, the closer they got, the more powerful individuals they encountered — particularly among the older generation. Many of them were Martial Ancestor-level existences.
This truly gave Chu Feng a firsthand taste of just how the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm was a gathering place for the powerful.
In the Martial Sacred Land, the Half-Ancestor realm — a level that virtually no one could reach — was practically commonplace here. It truly left Chu Feng sighing with emotion.
No wonder the people of the Ordinary Realm looked down on those of the Lower Realm. Comparing their cultivation aptitude like this, the talents of those from the Martial Sacred Land were rather underwhelming.
"Chu Feng, wow — what a coincidence!" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. It was Xu Yiyi.
Hearing Xu Yiyi's voice, Chu Feng was delighted. After all, she had helped him out of a major predicament, and he had been meaning to thank her.
But when he turned to look, he realized that Xu Yiyi wasn't the only one who had arrived. Nine other people were following alongside her.
