"Eggy, are you okay?" In a state of extreme tension, Chu Feng hurriedly called out.
"Chu Feng, you're finally awake! How are you?" At that moment, the Queen's voice rang out, filled with the same concern and urgency as Chu Feng's own.
Hearing that familiar voice, the heavy weight on Chu Feng's heart finally lifted.
The fact that he could hear her voice meant the Queen was at least still alive.
"Eggy, I'm fine. What about you? How are you?" Chu Feng asked anxiously.
The Queen was far too important to him, and he was deeply worried about her safety.
"I'm fine too. It looks like you've reclaimed your body — that puts my mind at ease." The Queen was clearly relieved as well.
"Eggy, my consciousness was hazy before, and I can't remember much of anything. Where exactly are we now?" Chu Feng asked.
Although this place was unfamiliar to him, he could tell that it was definitely not the Kong Heavenly Clan's territory, and was very, very far from it.
"Earlier, my connection with you was severed. I couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything. I don't know... where this is either."
"But perhaps you could ask that person over there," the Queen said.
And in fact, before the Queen even said anything, Chu Feng had already noticed a young man not far away, walking toward him.
This youth appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years of age, yet he possessed a cultivation of one-star Martial Emperor.
For a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old to wield Martial Emperor cultivation — what an astonishing thing that was.
After all, when Chu Feng had been that age, he had still been that weak. Martial Emperor? That was practically a legend.
But the Chu Feng of today felt little surprise, for this was the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm — a world ruled by True Immortals, where Martial Ancestors could be found everywhere.
Martial Emperor? Not even worth mentioning.
The youth was dressed plainly, even somewhat tattered, but he had a bright and clean appearance.
At this moment, he held a water gourd in his hands. Upon seeing that Chu Feng was awake, he was overcome with joy and quickened his pace. In short order, he arrived before Chu Feng and said:
"Big brother, you're finally awake! I thought you might never wake up. Here — quickly, drink some water."
"This is water I fetched from Healing Water Lake. It has healing and refreshing effects."
With that, the youth opened the water gourd and held it out to Chu Feng. Sure enough, a cool, refreshing aura drifted from within.
Chu Feng now understood — he had most likely lost consciousness here, and this youth had discovered him.
"Thank you."
He was indeed thirsty, so Chu Feng took the water gourd directly and began drinking in large gulps.
After drinking the water, the pain in his body actually improved somewhat. Feeling grateful, he said to the youth:
"Brother, was it you who found me? We're not even related, yet you showed me such kindness. Thank you."
"Oh, don't mention it. It was nothing," the youth laughed heartily. He seemed carefree and guileless, and it was clear he was a warm-hearted person.
"Brother, may I ask — where exactly is this place?" Chu Feng asked.
"Where is this? This is Maple Leaf Forest," the youth replied.
"Maple Leaf Forest?"
Chu Feng looked around and saw that the area was indeed entirely covered in maple trees, though these maples were several dozen times larger than normal ones, and their leaves were far more lush.
At first glance, it was quite beautiful.
But after thinking it over, he realized he had never heard of this place before. It seemed this forest wasn't very large and likely wasn't particularly famous in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm either.
But at least — the Evil God Sword hadn't stolen his body. That was a good thing.
And although his body ached, he could move freely, which meant the Evil God Sword's backlash against him wasn't terribly severe. He couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate.
"What's that?" But suddenly, Chu Feng's expression changed.
At the youth's waist, he spotted a token, and on that token were written four large characters.
Ancient War Tribe!!!
Chu Feng vividly remembered that in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, ten thousand years ago, a famously powerful figure had appeared.
