Gazing at the Spirit World Immortal King with a resolute stare, Chu Feng showed no fear. Instead, his own gaze grew equally formidable.
"Senior, what if this vendetta is one I cannot let go of?" Chu Feng asked.
Hearing this, the Spirit World Immortal King furrowed his brow.
"Your journey to the Seven Worlds Sacred Manor ultimately began because of me. Your future decisions are not mine to interfere with."
"But I should bear responsibility for this journey of yours."
"Though I cannot help you seek vengeance against the Seven Worlds Sacred Manor due to my standing, I will provide you with some compensation."
With that, the Spirit World Immortal King flipped his palm, and a talisman appeared before Chu Feng.
The moment Chu Feng saw the talisman, his expression shifted.
The talisman contained the dual powers of protection and teleportation — an artifact from the ancient era. Moreover, from the talisman, Chu Feng sensed a familiar aura.
It had been forged by Qin Jiu, the greatest Spirit World Master of the ancient era.
Sure enough, the Spirit World Immortal King spoke.
"This was left behind by a great Spirit World Master of the ancient era. To this day, it is virtually extinct."
"When you come under attack, it will not only shield you but also teleport you to a random safe location."
"If your fusion with it is thorough enough, you may even control the destination yourself."
With that, the Spirit World Immortal King made a slight gesture with his hand, and the talisman drifted toward Chu Feng.
Chu Feng did not hesitate. He caught the talisman and immediately merged with it.
Soon, the talisman transformed into a wisp of energy that entered Chu Feng's body, manifesting as a mark upon his chest.
This was the brilliance of the talisman.
As everyone knew, powerful Spirit World Masters would infuse powerful formations into talismans to make their power easier to channel. But activating them usually required producing the talisman and forming hand seals to trigger its power.
This talisman, however, was different. It could fuse with its user and be activated with a mere thought.
And after the fusion, Chu Feng discovered that it was not only he himself who could teleport. Within a certain range, it could protect others and teleport them along with him.
It was indeed an exceptional protective treasure.
As Chu Feng marveled at Qin Jiu's power, his impression of the Spirit World Immortal King improved further.
The Spirit World Immortal King knew full well that whoever appeared here would become an enemy of the Seven Worlds Sacred Manor. Yet he had not killed Chu Feng. Instead, he had given him such an extraordinarily precious protective treasure.
This treasure was truly priceless — one that had likely already vanished from the world.
Just then, the Spirit World Immortal King's figure returned into the formation stone stele.
The stele had changed. Layer upon layer of peculiar formations had appeared upon its surface. The formations were extraordinarily refined and profound, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"The Seven Worlds Sacred Manor's loss of you is their own loss."
"But if you can find a good buyer and sell this item, you will obtain sufficient cultivation resources. That is my compensation to you."
"Young friend, though we have never met in person, I admire your talent. We share no blood tie nor prior bond, yet I leave these things behind solely to forge a good connection — and to demonstrate my sincerity."
"If it is possible, I ask you to let go of your grudge against the Seven Worlds Sacred Manor."
The Spirit World Immortal King's voice echoed once more, but then fell silent for good.
Gazing at the formations on the stele, Chu Feng was able to read their specific contents. It was precisely because of this that he felt utterly astonished.
The object the Spirit World Immortal King had pointed to was nothing other than a legendary Sacred Beast.
The formations marked the location where a Sacred Beast was hidden. And the formations on this stele were meant to teach Chu Feng how to master the formations at that location.
