"Hehe, my Queen, don't worry. I definitely won't be careless this time,"
After that, Chu Feng began his breakthrough attempt. However, unfortunately... this time, Chu Feng failed.
He tried three consecutive times, but ultimately failed each one.
Chu Feng concluded that his comprehension of the martial cultivation path still wasn't sufficient — he needed to continue gaining insight.
Of course, Chu Feng had already accumulated quite a bit. In his view, although he had failed to break through to the fourth-grade True Immortal realm today, he was no longer far from it.
At that moment, Chu Feng shifted his attention back to
"Lord Chu Feng, how is Xi-zi?" Song Xi's mother asked nervously.
"Ma'am, please rest assured. Although Song Xi is still unconscious, the fusion is proceeding smoothly. He'll wake up in just a few days," Chu Feng said.
In truth, Chu Feng was lying to Song Xi's mother.
Song Xi's condition was far from optimistic — whether he would ever wake up was an open question.
But Song Xi's mother didn't have many days left. She was about to pass on, and Chu Feng hoped she could go peacefully.
"If that's the case, then that's wonderful." Sure enough, seeing the solemn look on Chu Feng's face, the worry in Song Xi's mother's expression eased considerably.
"Lord Chu Feng, I know — I don't know when Xi-zi will wake up."
"But I know that even if he does, whether or not he can withstand the power of that inheritance is still uncertain."
"If he can withstand it, that would be best. But if he can't, he'll definitely fall into qi deviation. He'll become extremely dangerous."
"So Lord Chu Feng, I have an unreasonable request. I hope you won't stay here to watch over Xi-zi any longer. Please leave as soon as you can."
"Please take this."
Song Xi's mother handed Chu Feng the key to open the great door, the small flag that could break free from the Sacred Mountain's bindings, and the Universe Bag.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?" Chu Feng asked.
"Lord Chu Feng, please — I'm begging you. I don't want Xi-zi to hurt you."
"So please come back only after a year. If Xi-zi can withstand the inheritance, he'll naturally still be alive in a year."
"But if he can't, at least you'll be able to collect his body," Song Xi's mother said.
"Alright, Ma'am. I promise you." Chu Feng accepted the key and the small flag, but he did not take the Universe Bag.
"Lord Chu Feng, take this as well. It will be useful to you," Song Xi's mother said.
"Ma'am, there's no need for this." Chu Feng smiled and shook his head, firmly refusing to accept it.
If something truly happened to Song Xi, then Chu Feng would use the Universe Bag — he wasn't that stubborn of a person.
But as long as Song Xi was still alive, Chu Feng wouldn't touch it.
"Sigh... Xi-zi is so fortunate to have met someone as good as you."
Song Xi's mother's eyes brimmed with tears of gratitude. From the way Chu Feng refused to take the Universe Bag, she could tell that he truly cared about Song Xi and truly considered him a friend.
However, two hours later, Song Xi's mother began growing weaker and weaker.
Chu Feng knew — her time had come. She was dying.
Song Xi's mother sensed it too, and she crawled into her husband's coffin on her own.
Before long, Song Xi's mother drew her last breath.
Chu Feng set up a formation over her body — one that would keep her corpse from decaying.
After that, Chu Feng remained in the area for several more days. From time to time, he set up formations to help Song Xi.
But truthfully, this matter ultimately depended on Song Xi himself. There was very little Chu Feng could do.
Still, Chu Feng wanted to do everything in his power to help.
It wasn't until he calculated that his remaining time was running short and he had to leave for the Formation Immortal Realm that Chu Feng finally departed.
...
The Formation Immortal Realm lived up to its name — for a Spirit World Master, this place was absolutely a holy land.
However, because the current Formation Immortal Realm was guarded by the ancient Snake Clan, not just anyone could enter at will.
As a result, there weren't many people in the vicinity of the Formation Immortal Realm these days.
