If the guardian formation were triggered, others might see this place — and then he would be in danger.
But upon closer inspection, he realized it was a special sealing formation. It wasn't sealing Ling Canghai's life, but rather the treasures on his body.
Chu Feng attempted to use the Guardian Nightmare to break the sealing formation, but it was useless. The sealing formation and the guardian formation were entirely different things.
No matter how powerful the Guardian Nightmare was, it had no effect whatsoever.
"You old wretch, so cunning — disgusting even after death."
Chu Feng cursed angrily, then walked up to the alchemy cauldron and kicked it over.
An incomplete pill floated into view.
The pill reeked of blood — it had been refined from the bloodlines of countless people.
And yet it had already been refining for tens of thousands of years.
Chu Feng would naturally never consume such a pill, especially one that was incomplete. What's more, he couldn't even discern the purpose of this blood pill.
Still, Chu Feng took the blood pill along with the entire alchemy cauldron, unwilling to leave anything behind for the Seven Worlds Holy Temple.
After that, Chu Feng swept his sleeve and stored Ling Canghai's head into his Universe Bag as well.
Then he activated Divine Movement and rapidly fled the area.
"My Lord Chu Feng, what technique did you use? How is your speed so fast?"
Even the Asura King was utterly astonished.
His cultivation was clearly at the ninth level of half-god, yet Chu Feng's speed right now was even faster than an ordinary second level true god.
"It's a divine technique. Just now I used that technique and borrowed your power to kill that old man."
"But it's fortunate that old man was careless and hadn't set up any defensive formations — otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy," Chu Feng said.
"So it's a divine technique. No wonder."
"My Lord Chu Feng, you truly possess great fortune," the Asura King sighed with admiration.
"Just lucky, that's all."
"But my luck wasn't great today — that old wretch's methods were truly disgusting."
"Without that sealing formation, I probably could have pulled quite a few benefits from him." Chu Feng felt a twinge of regret.
...
Meanwhile, in a bamboo grove within the Seven Worlds Holy Temple.
Sacred Elder Ling Mouzi, Sacred Elder Jie Zhenfu, Sacred Elder Jie Qinghe, and several other elders of high standing stood within the bamboo grove.
"You've all been waiting quite some time."
A figure descended from the sky — it was the Seven Worlds Temple Master.
"We greet the Temple Master." Upon seeing the Seven Worlds Temple Master, these prominent figures of the Seven Worlds Holy Temple hurriedly bowed in respect.
"I just finished settling Sect Master Cangqiong and arrived a bit late. Did something come up?" the Seven Worlds Temple Master asked.
"Reporting to the Temple Master — it's about Chu Feng," Ling Mouzi said.
"What about Chu Feng?" the Seven Worlds Temple Master asked.
"Temple Master, you may not be aware, but Chu Feng was brought into the Holy Temple by Ling Xinian today…"
"He's the one who reached the top of the Seven Stars Gravity Tower, correct?" the Seven Worlds Temple Master asked.
"Yes — so the Temple Master already knows," Ling Mouzi replied.
"What is there to ask about this matter?" the Seven Worlds Temple Master asked.
"Temple Master, after all, no one has ever reached the top of all seven floors of the Seven Stars Gravity Tower before."
"And Chu Feng is an outsider. Now that this has spread, it's had quite an impact on the younger generation within the temple. Your subordinate wished to ask how the Temple Master believes we should handle this," Ling Mouzi said.
"Never mind the Seven Stars Gravity Tower — during the Nine Heavens Secret Grounds expedition, Chu Feng obtained the Black Mark that even Ran Qing failed to acquire."
"True, his ability to obtain the Black Mark had an inseparable connection with the sealing formation that Ran Qing had set up beforehand."
"But in the end, he accomplished what no one had done before."
"The younger generation in the temple has truly grown complacent. Let Chu Feng give them some pressure — there's no need for special handling. Let things take their natural course," the Seven Worlds Temple Master said.
