"But Young Friend Chu Feng, even if we stop it this time, it will be hard to prevent the next time. As long as the Moon Demon remains within the Labyrinth Under the Moon, the Dark Hall can think of other ways to restore its demonic nature."
"So..."
"So you want to use the Ice and Fire Beads to turn the Moon Demon into the Moon Immortal, and have the Moon Immortal serve your purposes. Am I right?" Chu Feng said.
"That is indeed the case. It is also the best approach. After all, the Dark Hall is a root of calamity that should be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Martial Sacred Land will never know peace."
"You also know that the Dark Hall captured all the Ancient Fierce Beasts from the Blood-Devouring Killing Formation, yet they haven't released them. What exactly are they planning? What kind of scheme do they have? None of us know. But... one thing is certain — the Dark Hall is extremely dangerous." Lord Luokong said.
At this moment, Chu Feng fell silent. The Dark Hall was indeed very dangerous. Not only did they know many secrets unknown to the Martial Sacred Land, they might also know things that no one in the Martial Sacred Land had ever learned.
No one knew what they were truly after, but they were certainly planning something dangerous — something harmful to all living beings of the Martial Sacred Land.
"Brother Chu Feng, we already know about your situation with the Dark Hall. Please let us do our part for you. If giving up our cultivation can save the world and help you, then it's absolutely worth it." Su Mei said with a beaming smile.
"Chu Feng, think of the bigger picture." Su Rou also urged.
In truth, at this moment, Chu Feng could not find any reason to refuse.
It was just that... watching the two women he loved sacrifice their cultivation and harm their bodies for his sake, Chu Feng's heart ached terribly.
Ultimately, it was because his own strength wasn't enough. Otherwise, there would be no need for any of this.
"Then how will you do it?" Chu Feng asked.
"Based on our understanding of the Labyrinth Under the Moon, the map spread by the Dark Hall will successfully lead people to the location of the Flat Peach Tree." Lord Luokong said.
"The Flat Peach Tree?" Chu Feng's eyes lit up.
"The Flat Peach Tree is one of the most famous treasures of the Labyrinth Under the Moon. Eating a single Flat Peach grants a hundred years of lifespan." Artifact Refinement Immortal explained.
"That's incredible? Does this Flat Peach Tree really exist?" Chu Feng asked.
Such a treasure, if it truly existed, would be a supreme artifact for extending life. Many people Chu Feng knew were already approaching the limits of their lifespan. If he could obtain Flat Peaches, he could help them.
"Actually, that's a question I've been wanting to ask too." Artifact Refinement Immortal said with a smile, looking toward Lord Luokong.
"The Flat Peach Tree does exist. However, apart from us Ancient Elves, I'm afraid only the Emperors of the ages after antiquity have truly seen it." Lord Luokong said.
"So it truly exists." Hearing this, a look of eager anticipation appeared on the Artifact Refinement Immortal's face. "No wonder you Ancient Elves live for so long."
"Cough, cough..." At this moment, Lord Luokong coughed twice. Clearly the Artifact Refinement Immortal had hit the mark, and Lord Luokong felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Actually, the harvest we Ancient Elves receive isn't as great as you might think. Although the Flat Peach Tree is enormous, the fruits ripen at different times. So we Ancient Elves only enter once a year, and each time we gather only a few hundred." Lord Luokong said.
"A few hundred, and you're complaining that's not enough?" Artifact Refinement Immortal looked at him with contempt. "You monopolizing the Flat Peach Tree — that's not very nice."
"It seems that monopolizing it won't be possible anymore, since the endpoint of this map is exactly where the Flat Peach Tree is located." As Chu Feng spoke, he took out the map that the Dark Hall had distributed.
"But didn't the Dark Hall intend to kill people in the Labyrinth Under the Moon? Could it be... they're planning to set an ambush there?" Chu Feng asked.
"No... The location of the Flat Peach Tree is itself a killing formation. If the formation activates, everyone within will die."
