"This place is absolutely incredible."
"I never imagined that within our Chu Heavenly Clan, there would be such an extraordinary cultivation sanctuary."
"If I could go into seclusion here for a year, I'd definitely be able to break through to the Venerable realm."
Compared to Chu Feng's silent speculation, Chu Lingxi was shouting with excitement. Sure enough, she had sensed the same thing as Chu Feng.
"A Venerable in one year?"
"Lingxi, do you really think that cultivating here for a year would let you advance two ranks of cultivation?"
However, when Chu Lingxi's words reached Chu Xuanzhengfa's ears, he could hardly keep his composure.
Chu Xuanzhengfa was roughly the same age as Chu Xuanyuan, and he had only stepped into the Venerable realm after years of bitter cultivation.
He knew all too well how difficult it was to advance one's cultivation within the Venerable realm.
Chu Lingxi had become a third rank Venerable in a short time, and while he was shocked by that, after all, the blood flowing through Chu Lingxi's veins held the purest bloodline power of the Wan Zhou Ancient Clan.
On top of that, Chu Lingxi's mother, Gu Mingyuan, had planted a seed within her body the very moment she was born.
It could only be said that Chu Lingxi was now reaping the harvest season — her rapid advancement was something Gu Mingyuan had carefully prepared. Chu Xuanzhengfa could still accept that, and he had long been mentally prepared for it.
But breaking through to the Venerable realm in one year here — that genuinely startled Chu Xuanzhengfa.
After all, he and the elders of the Chu Heavenly Clan had all cultivated here before.
He knew this was a cultivation sanctuary, yet he had never felt the kind of power Chu Lingxi spoke of.
This forced him to wonder — could the gap in talent really be this vast?
But regardless of everything, Chu Xuanzhengfa had once been called a genius in his own right.
One could even say that among his generation, aside from Chu Xuanyuan, Chu Xuanzhengfa's cultivation talent had been among the very finest.
"Father, didn't you also cultivate here for a while? Did you not sense any opportunity for a breakthrough?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"I did gain some insights, but a breakthrough opportunity — I'm still far from sensing one," Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
"That doesn't make sense. You're only a first rank Venerable. You shouldn't have cultivated this long without even grasping a breakthrough opportunity."
Chu Lingxi furrowed her brows, as though she genuinely couldn't understand why her father hadn't broken through after all this time.
And that left Chu Xuanzhengfa feeling rather awkward.
"Perhaps this really is the gap in talent. It's the kind of gap you simply can't deny, no matter how much you might want to." Chu Xuanzhengfa wore a bitter smile.
"Senior, perhaps your method of cultivation isn't quite right."
"Why not try a different approach — sense the energy of this place anew."
But just then, Chu Feng suddenly spoke up.
Chu Feng not only spoke, but went on to teach Chu Xuanzhengfa a unique method for sensing the heaven and earth energy of this place.
