"This creature is so ferocious. Then why did that old ancestor only seal it away instead of completely eradicating it?"
"Didn't sealing it in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm plant a hidden danger within the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm?" Chu Feng asked.
"The old ancestor said that creature had some friendship with him, and he couldn't bear to kill it, so he had no choice but to seal it away."
"As for the matter of the potential catastrophe, back in the day, the abbot of our Buddha Light Heaven Temple once raised it with the old ancestor. And the old ancestor's answer, sigh..." At this point, Master Koudai let out a helpless sigh, as though there were words he found difficult to speak.
"What was his answer?" Chu Feng asked.
"The old ancestor said, 'What do I care about whether others live or die?'" As Master Koudai spoke these words, his face was filled with shame.
Although that old cat was not a Buddhist, he was still connected to their Buddha Light Heaven Temple, and they revered him as their old ancestor. Yet, on the other hand, they were devoted to benevolence, so they naturally felt that having such an old ancestor was something embarrassing to speak of.
Upon hearing Master Koudai's answer, Chu Feng actually found it perfectly reasonable. Words like that coming from that old cat's mouth surprised Chu Feng not at all. On the contrary, it was entirely consistent with the old cat's style.
Afterwards, Chu Feng made further inquiries about the old cat, but unfortunately, Master Koudai's knowledge was limited as well.
In short, the old cat had only helped Buddha Light Heaven Temple as a passing convenience. With his cunning and crafty nature, he naturally wouldn't reveal much about himself to the people of Buddha Light Heaven Temple. So Chu Feng believed that Master Koudai had not lied to him—they truly knew very little about the old cat.
Although he was unable to uncover any useful information about the old cat, Chu Feng did not return to the warship to rest.
Instead, he chose a secluded spot, set up a concealing barrier, and hid himself away.
He did this because he wanted to give himself a quiet space to carefully study that book—the Heavenly Forging Weapon Codex.
After all, if Chu Feng could fully master this book, it would be able to enhance his cultivation.
Moreover, this enhancement would not merely be a breakthrough or two—it could be said that the benefits would last a lifetime.
And before Chu Feng had fully comprehended the Heavenly Forging Weapon Codex, the Alliance Army had already arrived at Chen Heavenly City.
Chen Heavenly City was a city ruled by the Chen Heavenly Clan.
The Chen Heavenly Clan also possessed a Heaven-level bloodline. Although they were far from as formidable as the Kong Heavenly Clan and the Zhou Heavenly Clan, within the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, they were a second-rate power whose strength was comparable to Luoxia Valley and Three Star Hall. However, their fame and prestige far surpassed those of Luoxia Valley and Three Star Hall.
Within the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm, the Chen Heavenly Clan could be called a power of great renown.
And according to the clues from the invitation letter, as well as the intelligence gathered from the Ghost Fiend Old Demon—this Chen Heavenly City was the very lair of the Soul Infant Sect.
Right now, not only were the gates of Chen Heavenly City tightly shut, but the defensive barrier had also been deployed. No outsider could enter—only those within the city were permitted inside.
Outside the Chen Heavenly Clan's territory, hundreds of thousands of people had already gathered.
They had all come in response to invitations, yet ever since their arrival, the gates of Chen Heavenly City had remained shut, and no one had received them.
Had it not been for the several large banners planted outside Chen Heavenly City, emblazoned with the three bold characters of the Soul Infant Sect, the people would have thought they had been deceived.
"Look! Who are those people? Such an imposing presence!"
"Heavens! It's Hero City, the Sword Immortal Gate, and Buddha Light Heaven Temple!"
"Why have they brought so many troops? Could it be... they also received that invitation from the Soul Infant Sect?"
"This is incredible! What kind of background does the Soul Infant Sect have to be able to invite even these colossal powers?"
When the vast Alliance Army came into view, the people gathered there erupted into thunderous cheers.
After all, in their eyes, Hero City, the Sword Immortal Gate, and Buddha Light Heaven Temple—the three of them were the current rulers of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
It was no exaggeration to say that for many people, these three colossal powers were virtually like gods, holding an exceedingly high position in the hearts of all beings within the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
