"Senior, you're going to help me?"
Chu Feng was somewhat surprised. He didn't know how the other party could help him, nor could he figure out why they would want to help him.
He clearly had no close ties with the Ancient Snake Clan.
"I can use a formation to help you. It will temporarily elevate your cultivation from rank four True Immortal to True Immortal, and the effect can be maintained for half an hour."
"During the half hour that this formation is active, your strength will be that of a genuine True Immortal, and all of the various techniques you've mastered can be used as well."
"The only catch is that while the formation is being set up, you will need to endure some pain. Are you willing?" the Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief said.
"Senior has no kinship or bond with me, yet is willing to help me like this. Naturally, I am willing."
"However, if my cultivation is elevated to True Immortal, I wonder whether this Han Yu will still dare to fight me." Chu Feng shifted his gaze toward Han Yu.
"Hmph, how amusing. Would I, Han Yu, ever fear you?"
Han Yu let out a cold laugh, and the look in his eyes was filled with utter contempt.
It was as though, from beginning to end, he had never once put Chu Feng in his sights.
"If you have no objections either, then I'll begin setting up the formation," the Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief said to Han Yu.
"What good would objections do? Your Ancient Snake Clan already has a deep connection with this Chu Feng — do I even need to say it?"
"But if you want to help him, I don't care. In fact, I'd like nothing more than for this Chu Feng to understand that even if he reaches True Immortal, he is absolutely no match for me, Han Yu."
"The Evil Dragon Ranking of the Upper Realms is not so easily entered. I, Han Yu, made it onto that list through genuine ability," Han Yu said.
"Good. Since that's the case, then my young friend Chu Feng, please take this pill." The Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief handed a pill to Chu Feng.
Once the pill was in his hand, Chu Feng examined it carefully and discovered that it was no ordinary pill — it was actually a formation.
After all, Chu Feng was a Dragon Mark-level Royal Realm Spirit World Master, so he could deduce the pill's function.
It could be said that whether or not Chu Feng would succeed in temporarily elevating his cultivation to True Immortal all depended on the formation contained within this pill.
After his observation, Chu Feng opened his mouth and tossed the pill straight in.
He figured that if the Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief had intended to harm him, he would already be dead back in the mountains. So the Clan Chief most likely genuinely wanted to help him.
Hummm— The moment the pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a formation that began operating within Chu Feng's body.
"Young friend Chu Feng, step into the formation's core."
At that moment, the Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief had already laid out a formation.
Chu Feng entered the formation's core as instructed, and immediately felt dizzy, his entire body pierced with stabbing pain.
At the same time, the formation inside his body began to frantically invade his flesh and soul.
Chu Feng did not panic. Instead, he quickly sat down cross-legged and allowed the invasion to take its course.
Before long, everything was over.
Both the external formation and the formation inside Chu Feng's body had vanished completely.
Yet at that moment, Chu Feng's aura had risen from rank four True Immortal all the way to True Immortal.
"Thank you, Senior." Chu Feng stood up and bowed to the Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief in gratitude.
"Young friend Chu Feng, remember — this formation can only be maintained for half an hour. So you'd better make the most of it," the Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief said.
As he spoke, the Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief began to retreat.
At the same time, the others present also withdrew, making room for Chu Feng and Han Yu to fight.
"Half an hour?"
Han Yu let out a cold sneer. "Half an incense stick's time is all I need to put him on the ground."
At that moment, Han Yu radiated an aura that could be summed up in four words — absolute confidence, utterly domineering.
If every person carried a certain aura of their own, then the aura Han Yu exuded at this moment was truly formidable.
However, even with Han Yu acting this way, Chu Feng's expression did not change. While Chu Feng was not as brazen as Han Yu, the two stood on the same patch of ground, and Chu Feng was not at the slightest disadvantage.
