Chapter 3845. Trouble at the Sacred Ground

"Young Master Chu Feng, just now, if this old man sensed correctly, that aura of yours seemed to be... the Venerable realm?"

"Could it be that Young Master Chu Feng, you have already reached... the Venerable realm?"

After Elder Xing Yi asked this question, even the air fell silent.

The renowned Eight Immortals of Starfall in the Great Thousand Upper Realm all held their breath at this moment, staring at Chu Feng with strained expressions as they awaited his answer.

They had already steeled themselves...

"One-star Venerable," Chu Feng said.

"Hssss—"

Upon hearing those words, the Eight Immortals of Starfall all drew a sharp breath. Even though they had prepared themselves, when those words actually left Chu Feng's mouth, a towering tide of shock still churned deep within their hearts. The waves surged violently, spreading through their entire bodies in an instant, setting their very blood boiling.

A one-star Venerable — that was the realm their Sacred Ground's Holy Master had spent over three thousand years to step into.

But Chu Feng had become a one-star Venerable in such a short span of time.

After all, when the Eight Immortals of Starfall had first met Chu Feng, he had only been a one-star True Immortal. And it had been such a short while since then — yet Chu Feng had successively leapt through the True Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and Martial Immortal realms, stepping into the Venerable realm, a level they themselves might never reach in their entire lifetimes.

The fact that they could still stand upright after hearing this news was a testament to how strong their composure truly was.

"As expected of Chu Xuanyuan's son."

Suddenly, Elder Xing Yi spoke with a look of deep emotion.

And with his words, the others were jolted out of their shock. Those who had been struggling to accept the news suddenly found it a bit more bearable.

Chu Xuanyuan — that monstrous existence — had relied on his extraordinary talent back in the day to accomplish things no ordinary person could, constantly shattering people's understanding and pushing the limits of what they could endure, until his name shook the entire Ancestral Martial Star Domain.

And since Chu Feng was Chu Xuanyuan's son, inheriting his father's talent and now accomplishing such incredible feats — well, when you thought about it, it was only natural.

"Truly, a tiger does not beget a dog."

At that moment, the other elders also chimed in with their own exclamations.

"Esteemed elders, do you know who these people are?" Chu Feng asked this because he suspected that these black-robed figures might very well be the mysterious faction that had entered the Void Divine Tree the very moment its barrier dissipated.

Chu Feng was on high guard against this group.

He had a suspicion that, compared to themselves, those mysterious people might possess a far deeper understanding of the Void Divine Tree.

Moreover, the fact that those people had not hesitated for even a moment to self-destruct upon realizing they were no match for him only reinforced the belief that they harbored secrets.

They had chosen self-destruction precisely because they did not want their secrets exposed.

But life was so precious — to be willing to choose death outright simply to keep a secret from leaking, that kind of resolve was truly terrifying.

Facing such a formidable opponent, Chu Feng simply could not afford to let his guard down.

"We don't know who they are either, nor why they wanted to capture us," Elder Xing Er said, shaking his head.

Hearing this, Chu Feng's brows furrowed.

In any battle between two sides, the greatest fear was knowing yourself but having no knowledge of your enemy.
