"I have three matters I hope Father can help me with."
"The first is, I hope you can help me find where Moon Immortal went. She has taken over Su Rou and Su Mei's bodies, and I want to get them back."
"The second is, I hope you can help me check whether something is wrong with the Four Sacred Beasts' bodies. I heard Magma Emperor say that they won't live much longer, but I cannot see anything wrong with them," Chu Feng said.
"Moon Immortal has already gone to the Outer World. If you want to find her, you'll have to go to the Outer World," Chu Xuanyuan said.
"Gone to the Outer World?" Chu Feng's eyes filled with surprise.
"She likely didn't use the Heavenly Staircase, but rather some kind of treasure that allows entry to the Outer World."
"The Heavenly Staircase is a formation that can be used multiple times. What she used was a treasure that can only be used once," Chu Xuanyuan explained.
"So you're saying Moon Immortal is now inside the Hundred Refinements Arena of the Hundred Refinements Mortal World?" Chu Feng asked.
"Perhaps, perhaps not. That depends on who crafted the treasure and what destination coordinates were set."
"However, this Moon Immortal was originally something from the Outer World, and her nature shouldn't be bad — otherwise she wouldn't have helped you. She didn't help you for the sake of justice; it was only because she felt guilty toward you."
"Someone like her shouldn't harm Su Rou and Su Mei, so there's no need for you to worry too much," Chu Xuanyuan said.
"Your son understands." Chu Feng was quite surprised — he hadn't expected Moon Immortal to be something from the Outer World. But if his father said so, it had to be right. So he continued asking: "Then what about the Four Sacred Beasts? Are they really in danger?"
Chu Feng truly wanted to know the condition of the Four Sacred Beasts. That was precisely why he had brought them here — from the very beginning, he had wanted his father to examine whether something was wrong with the Four Sacred Beasts.
As soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, Chu Xuanyuan turned his gaze toward the direction where the Four Sacred Beasts were. After looking for a moment, he said: "The Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuan Martial — these are the legendary Four Symbols Divine Beasts. If they truly existed as such, their strength should be overwhelming. How could they be merely half-Sovereign level?"
"The four you've befriended are simply four individual life forms that were split off from a Heaven-bestowed Divine Power."
"They are not Divine Beasts, and naturally not Sacred Beasts either. In truth, they cannot even be called beasts at all."
"They were supposed to exist as a Heaven-bestowed Divine Power to accompany their master. If they cannot serve that purpose, then they should perish," Chu Xuanyuan said.
"So you're saying they really won't live much longer?" Chu Feng asked.
"Continuing as they are now, they indeed won't last. If you want them to survive, you should have them abandon their physical bodies and their freedom, and obediently revert back to Secret Techniques, returning to your body," Chu Xuanyuan said.
At this moment, Chu Feng fell silent. He didn't know how to bring this up with Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and the others.
After all, if Chu Feng told them the truth, it would mean that Magma Emperor hadn't been lying — back then, Qing Xuantian truly had abandoned them.
"I have a way to turn them back into Secret Techniques and return them to your body. If you truly want them to survive, you must tell them the truth."
"Also, Feng'er, though they are not the legendary Four Symbols Divine Beasts, they are the genuine Four Symbols Divine Power — one of the most formidable types among all Heaven-bestowed Divine Powers."
"I do not understand why their master would risk his own life to separate them and personally strip away such extraordinary natural talent," Chu Xuanyuan said, clearly... he still did not know about the matter between Qing Xuantian and the Four Sacred Beasts.
"Father, I've heard it goes something like this..."
