"That's true."
"In that case, I'll share my secret with you all too."
Thereafter, Chu Feng told the Sacred Cave Masters everything — that his real name was Chu Feng, that he hailed from the Chu Heavenly Clan, and about his grudge with the Heavenly Alliance.
"So your real name is Chu Feng? That doesn't sound impressive at all. I still think Shura is better. Now that's a powerful name."
"Yeah, yeah, why don't you just change your name to Shura?"
Once the Sacred Cave Masters learned about Chu Feng's background, they all chimed in with their opinions.
"What does any of that have to do with anything? That's not the point, is it?"
Chu Feng was utterly exasperated by their reaction.
He had bared his soul and revealed his deepest secrets to them, and their response was to comment on whether his real name sounded cool or not?
Did his secret have anything to do with his name sounding good or bad?
"Haha, we're just messing with you."
"Brother Shura, we really didn't expect you to have such a massive grudge against the Heavenly Alliance."
"That Heavenly Alliance ispicable — secretly interfering in other star fields' affairs. What utter shamelessness."
"No wonder you can't stand them."
"So, how about it — we've decided to pull off a big deal. Are you interested?"
The leader of the Sacred Cave Masters said to Chu Feng.
"So this 'big deal' of yours is related to the Heavenly Alliance?"
Chu Feng asked.
"That's right, it's related to the Heavenly Alliance," the leader of the Sacred Cave Masters confirmed.
"Tell me about it," Chu Feng said.
"Brother Shura, did you know that within the Sacred Light Galaxy, star fields are ranked by strength?"
the leader of the Sacred Cave Masters asked.
"There are a total of ninety-six star fields in the Sacred Light Galaxy."
"Fifty of them are classified as Lower Star Fields."
"Thirty are classified as Middle Star Fields."
"Six are classified as Upper Star Fields."
"The remaining ten are so weak they're called the Abandoned Star Fields."
"These ten star fields don't even qualify to participate in the Sacred Light Galaxy's grand events. And among those ten Abandoned Star Fields are the Heavenly Star Field, as well as my own Ancestral Martial Star Field," Chu Feng explained.
"Well, well — looks like you know quite a bit."
After hearing Chu Feng's words, the Sacred Cave Masters looked at him with expressions of approval.
Chu Feng allowed himself a proud smile.
But only Chu Feng himself knew that he hadn't actually known any of this before.
It was that old Daoist who had told him.
Thinking of that, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Having a powerful guide really did make a difference — at the very least, it broadened one's horizons.
It was just a shame that he couldn't go back and ask the old Daoist for more.
After all, the old Daoist desperately wanted Chu Feng to become his disciple, but Chu Feng had absolutely no intention of doing so.
"There are also rankings of strength among the Abandoned Star Fields."
"In two months, a grand event will take place within the Heavenly Alliance."
"Do you know what event it is?"
the leader of the Sacred Cave Masters asked.
"Stop beating around the bush and just tell me," Chu Feng said.
"Heh heh, I was trying to build some suspense. Since you're no fun, I'll just come out and say it."
Thereafter, the leader of the Sacred Cave Masters laid out the general outline for Chu Feng.
The Heavenly Star Field and five other star fields had once joined forces to break into an ancient ruin.
From within that ruin, they had obtained numerous treasures, but one particular treasure stood above all the rest as the most valuable.
There was only one such treasure, and it could not be divided.
However, settling the matter through brute force seemed rather inappropriate.
In the end, they decided to let their younger generation settle it through a contest.
