Four eerie and terrifying beasts, composed of red, green, blue, and purple.
Their bodies were nothing more than luminous projections, not true physical forms, yet the oppressive aura they radiated was enough to suffocate anyone.
Moreover, at this moment, a beam of light extended from each of them like a chain, linking them to Wang Qiang's body.
The four differently colored beams of light converged upon Wang Qiang simultaneously, giving rise to that interwoven radiance and aura of the four colors.
"That doesn't look like an inherited bloodline, does it?" Chu Feng asked.
Chu Feng was feeling both shock and joy at this moment — shocked by the sheer power of these beasts, and delighted that Wang Qiang had become their master.
However, in his eyes, although the four beasts before him were shrouded in an aura thick with darkness, they reminded him of his own Four Great Secret Techniques — the Four Symbol Divine Body.
So instinctively, Chu Feng felt that this power within Wang Qiang was most likely a God-Given Power, and an extraordinarily powerful one at that.
"It indeed does not resemble an ordinary inherited bloodline, nor does it appear to be a God-Given Power. I have never seen such a bizarre God-Given Power before," Golden Crane True Immortal said.
"However, whatever it is, this power inside my husband seems to be quite formidable!"
Upon seeing that Wang Qiang was unharmed, not only did the joy on Zhao Hong's face grow ever more radiant, but her beautiful eyes seemed to shine with brilliance as they swept ceaselessly over the four beasts.
"Wang Qiang's power has only just awakened and is still unstable. Once it fully awakens, we will know whether it is a special inherited bloodline or a special God-Given Power," Golden Crane True Immortal said.
"Senior, in your estimation, how much longer until Wang Qiang's power fully awakens?" Chu Feng asked.
"That is difficult to say. However, I have witnessed the awakening of dormant power within many individuals before."
"Based on my past experience, once the power fully awakens, its master's strength will also increase."
"And the longer the awakening takes, the more powerful the power will be. So a longer period of time is not necessarily a bad thing for Wang Qiang."
"Until his power fully awakens, let him remain here with me," Golden Crane True Immortal said to Chu Feng.
"Thank you, Senior." Chu Feng and Zhao Hong hurried to express their gratitude.
The two of them understood clearly that Golden Crane True Immortal's residence was arguably one of the safest places in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
Unless experts from the Upper Realm intervened, virtually no one in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm would dare cause trouble at Cloud Crane Mountain.
If Wang Qiang could remain here, the power within his body would surely awaken safely.
"It seems my brother's suffering this time wasn't in vain. At the very least, it led to the awakening of the power within him. You could say it was a blessing in disguise," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Hong nodded repeatedly, her smile absolutely brilliant.
After that, Chu Feng and Zhao Hong exchanged quite a bit more small talk with Golden Crane True Immortal.
Golden Crane True Immortal also learned of the matter regarding Chu Feng and Zhao Hong slaying Dugu Jianxu and the others.
"Chu Feng, Zhao Hong, I have to say — what you two did was far too reckless."
"However, since it has already happened, I won't say much more. Just know that this time, you have offended all four first-tier powers of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. When you venture out again in the future, you must exercise extreme caution."
"Otherwise, with one misstep, you two will perish here, and you can forget about ever venturing into the Upper Realm," Golden Crane True Immortal said.
"Rest assured, Senior. I, Zhao Hong, am the one who caused this trouble, and I can shoulder the responsibility."
"I will not hide away here at Cloud Crane Mountain forever. I will be leaving now."
As she spoke, Zhao Hong clasped her fists toward Golden Crane True Immortal once more and said, "Senior, thank you for your hospitality, and even more so for protecting my husband Wang Qiang. I, Zhao Hong, will remember your kindness, and I will repay it in the future."
