Beyond the barrier wall lay a field of violet flowers.
These must be what Jie Shanxian had called the Violet Dream Ascension.
Though the violet flowers covered a wide area, their density was not high.
In simpler words, most of them had already been harvested.
However, Chu Feng's attention was mostly drawn to the four large characters on the gate: "Seven Realms Immortal Sect."
"Seven Realms Immortal Sect?"
"Weren't the Seven Realms Immortal Pavilion among the ancient races that once attacked the Ancestral Martial Starfield?"
"And what about the Seven Realms Immortal Hall, the Seven Realms Immortal Mansion, the Seven Realms Immortal Gate, and the Seven Realms Immortal School?"
"These Spirit World Masters are truly ambitious — it seems they all want to be the rulers of the Seven Realms, hahaha."
Eggy teased with a grin.
Chu Feng turned to Jie Shanxian. "Senior, have you ever heard of this Seven Realms Immortal Sect?"
"No."
"But just from the name, I can tell that my guess was correct. The ancient race occupying this place is indeed a group of Spirit World Masters."
"There wasn't this gate before — it seems they've already emerged."
"And this Violet Dream Ascension — what's left are only defective ones. The good ones have likely all been refined by them."
"This Seven Realms Immortal Sect absolutely cannot be underestimated."
Jie Shanxian looked at the remaining violet flowers with a hint of regret.
Hearing Jie Shanxian's words, Chu Feng understood why most had been harvested yet some were left behind.
Turned out the remaining ones were all defective.
"But it seems they can still be refined, right?"
Chu Feng stepped forward, observed carefully, then said to Jie Shanxian.
"They can, but I'm not sure whether they're unclaimed possessions."
"Chu Feng, no matter how you look at it, this Seven Realms Immortal Sect doesn't seem like a weak force."
"We should keep a low profile here."
"I'll make an inquiry first. If there's no response, I'll go ahead and refine them."
"If there is a response and they don't allow it, then we simply won't refine."
"Remember — even a dragon can't crush a snake in its own den. If they say anything unpleasant, don't take it to heart."
"We're not here to cause trouble. Do you understand?" Jie Shanxian transmitted privately to Chu Feng.
"Rest assured, Senior. I'm thick-skinned — a few harsh words won't bother me. But I hold grudges. If they dare insult me, I'll definitely come back to settle the score," Chu Feng said.
Hearing this, Jie Shanxian couldn't help but chuckle.
He then walked forward, bowed respectfully toward the gate, and called out in a loud voice: "My name is Shan Jie. I belong to no sect or school — I am a Spirit World Master who studies barrier arts."
"I have long heard that this Violet Dream Ascension is a rare cultivation material and came here specifically. However, I wish to know whether it is an unclaimed possession."
As soon as Jie Shanxian finished speaking, a voice actually came from within the gate: "This Violet Dream Ascension was indeed planted by our Seven Realms Immortal Sect. However, leaving it here was always meant for people to come and take."
"If you have the ability to refine it, then go ahead. The only worry is that you lack the ability and instead succumb to the poison of this Violet Dream Ascension."
"Let me be blunt — if you're poisoned, it's a dead end. We won't lift a finger to help you."
The voice from within the gate belonged to a woman. Though she had granted permission to refine the flowers, her words carried a note of contempt.
"Fine. Understood."
Jie Shanxian didn't offer any further thanks, and the respectful expression he had worn moments ago was completely gone from his face.
From his tone, Chu Feng could sense that Jie Shanxian was somewhat angered.
At the same time, Jie Shanxian's private transmission reached Chu Feng's ears: "Chu Feng, don't display your barrier bloodline. I can refine these defective ones on my own."
"Just wait for me on the side. Don't worry — it won't take long."
Hearing Jie Shanxian's private transmission, Chu Feng obediently stood to the side.
Then, Jie Shanxian activated a secret technique, and barrier energy was seen sweeping over all of the Violet Dream Ascension.
