"Lord Kuiting, how far are you from the True God realm?" Chu Feng asked the Asura King.
"There is still some distance, but not much," the Asura King said.
"Try swallowing this." As Chu Feng spoke, he transferred the Origin he had accumulated into the Spirit Calamity space.
He had originally intended to save it for Eggy and Yusha, but Yusha still hadn't awakened, and there was no telling when Eggy would recover.
Rather than holding onto it, it would be better to give it to the Asura King first. If he could break through to the True God realm, it would be of tremendous help to Chu Feng.
"Lord Chu Feng, this..." Seeing the Origin that Chu Feng was offering, the Asura King hesitated.
This Origin contained the essence of True God realm experts — its value was extraordinarily high.
The Asura King had only just reached the peak of the Half God realm thanks to Chu Feng, and now being given such precious Origin, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
"If you grow stronger, I benefit too." With a single sentence, Chu Feng made his intentions clear.
"Your subordinate understands." The Asura King no longer hesitated. After accepting the Origin, he added, "However, Lord Chu Feng, please don't call us 'lord' anymore. We are your subordinates."
"We don't need so many formalities. Call each other whatever feels comfortable. We can each address the other as we please."
"So, how does this Origin feel?" Chu Feng asked.
"The Origin is too powerful. Your subordinate needs time to refine it before he can fully unleash its power," the Asura King said.
"Then take your time refining it, Lord Kuiting. There's no rush." After saying this, Chu Feng left.
Once Chu Feng was gone, the Asura army gathered before the Asura King.
"My lord, the time we were sealed behind that gate wasn't even that long, yet Lord Chu Feng's cultivation has improved so dramatically. His cultivation speed is even faster than Lord Slaughter Heavenly King's," Xiangji said.
"According to what Lord Slaughter said, at Chu Feng's age, he didn't possess such cultivation."
"Moreover, Lord Chu Feng is no fleeting phenomenon."
"His future achievements will likely surpass Lord Slaughter's," the Asura King said.
Hearing these words, the Asura army grew even more excited.
Before, if the Asura King had said this, they wouldn't have believed it.
But now, they believed it.
…
After Chu Feng projected his consciousness back to his main body, he didn't dwell too much on the matter of the Asura Sword.
No matter how powerful the Asura Sword was, if he couldn't use it, it was meaningless.
As for the Asura army, though they were Chu Feng's current mainstay, because of that gate's existence, he couldn't easily resort to them unless absolutely necessary.
Chu Feng still needed to improve his own cultivation.
The Primordial Meditation Technique could train and strengthen his Mental Power. Long-term practice would improve his mastery of the art of formations.
…
Meanwhile, outside the palace complex where Chu Feng and the others were temporarily cultivating, there floated an airship.
The airship wasn't very large. Its entire body was an antique bronze color — not particularly luxurious, but exquisitely crafted.
Though it bore the banner of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace, it was actually an ancient treasure.
The airship had no guards, but two Sacred-level elders knelt on its deck, facing a small palace atop the ship.
They were Jie Qinghe and Jie Zhenfu.
They had just reported on the entrance trial, with the main focus being on Chu Feng and Fu Xing's experiences.
"You may leave." An elderly voice came from within — it was the Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace.
But Elder Jie Qinghe did not leave. Instead he asked, "Master, what about the next trial?"
