"What the heck, what's this old man up to? Don't tell me he wants you to hand over the Ancient War Axe?"
"I actually thought he was different from the rest, but turns out he's the most shameless of them all," Her Majesty said with undisguised disgust.
"Eggy, don't think of it that way. I don't think this senior is that kind of person." After calming Eggy down, Chu Feng spoke respectfully to Zhan Yuanmo: "Senior, please speak your mind."
"Young Hero Chu Feng, then I'll speak plainly. The Ancient War Sword and the Ancient War Axe are both secret techniques of our Ancient War Clan, with a long and ancient lineage."
"Although they have both chosen you, they still bear the mark of our Ancient War Clan."
"In the future, should you no longer need the Ancient War Sword and the Ancient War Axe, I hope… you will not pass them on to outsiders, but rather pass them on to the descendants of our Ancient War Clan," Zhan Yuanmo said.
So he wasn't demanding the return of the secret techniques right now. He approved of Chu Feng wielding both of them. He simply hoped that in the future, when Chu Feng no longer needed them, these two great secret techniques could return to their roots — back into the hands of the Ancient War Clan's members.
"That goes without saying. I will certainly do as you ask," Chu Feng nodded.
"I appreciate it." Seeing Chu Feng agree, a look of relief spread across Zhan Yuanmo's face.
After that, Chu Feng chatted with Zhan Yuanmo and the others at length. The conversation lasted through the entire night.
The next day, Chu Feng bid farewell to everyone.
He did not belong here, so naturally he would not stay indefinitely. He intended to return to the Hundred Refinements Realm.
The people of the Ancient War Clan's domain could find no reason to keep Chu Feng, except…
When their ancestors had constructed the Ancient War Clan's domain, they had sealed it off. That was why the Ancient War Clan and the Demon Clan had never been able to leave this place.
Although Chu Feng's talent had been displayed to its fullest extent, earning the deep admiration and reverence of the Ancient War Clan's people, whether Chu Feng could actually leave the Ancient War Clan's domain — none of them could say for certain.
Only Chu Feng was filled with confidence. If he had been able to get in, then he could certainly get out.
At that moment, Chu Feng and the people of the Ancient War Clan all gathered at the place where Chu Feng had first fallen — the very spot where he had first met Zhan Lingtong.
"Lingtong, I'm leaving. In the future… if you ever want to try leaving this place, you must choose this spot," Chu Feng said to Zhan Lingtong.
"Brother Chu Feng, do you mean that this is the weakest point of the Ancient War Clan's domain?" Zhan Lingtong asked.
"It's not the weakest point, exactly. If you imagine the entire domain as a fortress above, then this spot above is a door."
"Unless your strength is extraordinary enough to break through the seal, then… if you wish to leave, this is the only place," Chu Feng explained.
As Chu Feng's mastery of barrier arts had grown stronger, so too had his Heavenly Eyes. At first he truly could not see through the barrier above, but now he had faintly located the exit.
"No wonder… no wonder none of our people could ever leave," the members of the Ancient War Clan exclaimed in realization upon hearing Chu Feng's words.
"Even so, without a certain level of cultivation, you won't be able to get out," Chu Feng said.
"Then what level of cultivation does Brother Chu Feng need to leave?" Zhan Lingtong pressed.
"At minimum, the Martial Ancestor realm. But it also has something to do with talent — it's hard to put an exact measure on it."
"However, Lingtong, let me offer you a word of advice. The outside world is far more dangerous than this place. Unless you truly feel that the Ancient War Clan's domain can no longer contain you, I'd suggest you stay here with your family," Chu Feng told Zhan Lingtong.
In Chu Feng's eyes, Zhan Lingtong was a good kid. But his temperament, and his current strength, were simply not suited for the world beyond.
"I understand, Brother Chu Feng. After hearing you describe the outside world, I actually think staying here in the Ancient War Clan's domain with my family is pretty wonderful."
"But Brother Chu Feng, please take care of yourself. If you can, I hope you'll come back to visit us often," Zhan Lingtong said, his eyes filled with reluctance as he looked at Chu Feng.
For Zhan Lingtong, Chu Feng was not merely a friend — he was his idol.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely come back to see you all."
"Everyone, take care of yourselves." Chu Feng clasped his fists together in farewell.
