"Besides cultivators who have reached the God Realm, our Xianhai Fish Clan actually possesses another Dragon Heavenly Spirit World Master."
"Though they only recently entered the Dragon Heavenly realm."
Through the Xianhai Fish Clan leader's account, it was revealed that this Spirit World Master was not a member of the Xianhai Fish Clan.
He was originally a reclusive expert who, by a twist of fate, had formed a bond with the Xianhai Fish Clan.
Subsequently, at the earnest invitation of the clan, he had become their guest elder.
In the eyes of the Xianhai Fish Clan, he was someone extremely trustworthy.
The only matter was that this guest elder had other affairs to attend to, and thus had not entered the God Clan's territory together with them.
In a way, it could be said that he had dodged a bullet.
"Our guest elder is currently at a cultivation site within the Totem Heavenly River."
"If we calculate the timing, preparations there should be nearly complete by now."
"Perhaps that place could allow all of you to achieve a breakthrough," the Totem Dragon Clan leader continued.
"A cultivation site? What kind of cultivation site?" Hearing this, Chu Feng's interest was immediately piqued.
This was hardly surprising.
The Xianhai Fish Clan leader's mention of a potential breakthrough was simply too tempting.
After the clan leader explained in detail, Chu Feng came to understand…
The reason they had initially chosen to head to the Totem Heavenly River was not because they wished to form an alliance with the Totem Dragon Clan.
Rather, it was because that secret realm was located within the Totem Heavenly River.
The secret realm contained extraordinary power, but it was difficult to refine directly and required special methods to extract it.
The Xianhai Fish Clan had invested considerable resources into that location.
Originally, it had been prepared for Xianhai Shaoyu and Little Fishy.
However, the Xianhai Fish Clan felt that their debt of gratitude toward Chu Feng could never be fully repaid, and so they decided to bring him along to cultivate there as well.
Chu Feng naturally would not refuse such a fortunate opportunity — after all, he was more desperate than anyone to rapidly increase his cultivation.
"Senior, do you know the true strength of Jie Tianran?" Chu Feng asked suddenly.
Although his side now possessed quite a few allies, the Xianhai Fish Clan's addition in particular had dramatically bolstered their strength, the Seven Worlds Holy Mansion remained like an insurmountable mountain. He had never truly grasped the extent of the Seven Worlds Holy Mansion's power.
And the Xianhai Fish Clan could be considered the most powerful force in the current generation of the martial cultivation world, second only to the Seven Worlds Holy Mansion. Naturally, they had more dealings with the Seven Worlds Holy Mansion than most, and perhaps a deeper understanding.
"I do not know Jie Tianran's current strength."
"But I know that he has always been concealing his true power."
"I once sparred with him — to be precise, he sought me out for a sparring session, likely to test my strength."
"At the time, I was a Nine-Star True God. However, my bloodline had already undergone a preliminary awakening, which allowed me to possess combat power that defied one rank above a Nine-Star True God."
"For your generation, that probably seems like nothing at all."
"But for us old-timers, the number of people capable of advancing within the True God realm was vanishingly small."
"Father, you're hardly old," Little Fishy chimed in.
Hearing this, the Xianhai Fish Clan leader chuckled: "Compared to Jie Tianran, of course I'm quite young. But compared to you children, I'm certainly old."
"Still, your generation truly is the most extraordinary in all of history."
"Advancing one rank within the True God realm — for the young ones of your generation, that barely qualifies as talented."
"But in our era, that would have made someone a peerless existence, a force that swept aside all contemporaries."
After his moment of reflection, he turned his gaze toward Chu Feng and said: "Because I possessed this trump card, I was always exceedingly confident."
"In that confrontation, I did not even use my full strength. Yet I could sense that Jie Tianran was far more than a mere Nine-Star Dragon."
"He too has always been hiding his true power, and I suspect he conceals far more than I do."
"Now that he has entered the Dragon Heavenly realm, he is almost certainly far more than a First-Rank Dragon."
"But the most terrifying aspect of the Seven Worlds Holy Mansion is not just that — within the Seven Worlds Holy Mansion, there exist formations of truly horrifying power."
