Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
However, just as everyone believed that Chu Feng had failed in merging his secret techniques and had already perished—
A violent gale suddenly erupted with overwhelming force. The might of that wind was so tremendous that even the experts felt immense pressure beneath it. Those with weaker cultivation were even blown stumbling backward.
And soon, energy appeared within the gale, merging with the wind in a display of overwhelming dominance.
It was the energy of Gold, Wood, Water, and Fire.
Because that person was Chu Feng!!!
"Chu Feng, is it really you?"
"You're really not dead?!!!"
Upon seeing Chu Feng, the crowd was overcome with wild joy and rushed forward, carefully examining him one after another. They could scarcely believe their own eyes — after all, Chu Feng had truly vanished earlier. Not only was his physical body gone, but even his aura had disappeared without a trace.
"My dear seniors, I apologize for worrying you all. Everything is fine now," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"What exactly happened? How did you just disappear? And your body is..." The Weapon Refining Immortal had been about to ask why Chu Feng's physical body appeared to be composed of Gold, Wood, Water, and Fire energy.
"Senior, you mean... this?" As Chu Feng spoke, his body suddenly decomposed into a being of Gold, Wood, Water, and Fire energy. That energy form then quickly took on a human shape.
It was the Gold Immortal Mystical Technique, the Wood Immortal Mystical Technique, the Water Immortal Mystical Technique, the Fire Immortal Mystical Technique, and the Earth Immortal Mystical Technique — all the secret techniques.
Whoosh—
And soon, the secret techniques merged back together, restoring Chu Feng to his previous appearance.
"This!!!" Witnessing this scene firsthand, the crowd was even more astonished.
How was this possible? How could Chu Feng transform into the secret techniques?
More importantly, Chu Feng had just displayed the Gold, Wood, Water, and Fire secret techniques — did that mean Chu Feng had successfully merged the secret techniques?!
"I believe the secret techniques have been enhanced. Whenever I wish, I can transform into the secret techniques. But at the same time, they can coexist within me."
"In other words, the secret techniques are not only a means of attack, but also a means of protecting me. Unless someone's cultivation far surpasses my own, my physical body will be like the secret techniques themselves — undying and indestructible," Chu Feng said.
"Heavens, how can it be so incredible?" Upon hearing this, the looks of shock and delight on the faces of the Weapon Refining Immortal and Baili Xuankong only intensified.
"Wait." Just then, the Immeasurable Immortal suddenly spoke up and asked, "Does this mean you have successfully merged the secret techniques?"
"Mm." Chu Feng nodded with a smile, because he had indeed succeeded, and so at this moment his spirits were exceptionally high.
"My heavens, Chu Feng, you brat — you've truly opened this immortal's eyes." Upon hearing this, the Snow-Haired Immortal actually pulled Chu Feng into a hug, and at the same time, everyone else was overcome with wild joy.
They had feared the worst. But now Chu Feng had succeeded. How could they not be elated?
"Chu Feng, I am truly proud of you. You make me so proud." At this moment, Baili Xuankong — a man who had lived for nearly ten thousand years — was so moved that tears glistened in his eyes. They were tears of excitement.
Back when Chu Feng had not yet grown to his full potential, Baili Xuankong had already seen him as the hope. He had gone all in to back Chu Feng and stand up for him, even going so far as to antagonize the four Great Imperial Clans.
And now, Chu Feng had not only lived up to his expectations but had far surpassed them. That feeling — only Baili Xuankong himself could understand it. But... he was truly, genuinely proud of Chu Feng.
