"As for those two, there is no need to say more. But what about you four — are you willing to accept?" the radiant elder asked.
"Willing, of course we're willing. Wh-why… why would anyone refuse?" Wang Qiang said.
The radiant elder let out a rare, faint chuckle, though the laughter carried a deeper meaning.
"There is something I must remind you of."
"Normally, once the Heavenly Court's Aura merges with your body, only the Heavenly Court Sacred Hall can sense it."
"But this world is not home to only you four with exceptional talent. Beyond you, there are naturally many other prodigies capable of extraordinary feats."
"With enough time, it is possible they have already developed means to detect that you have obtained the Heavenly Court's Aura — and naturally, it is also possible they have means to seize it."
"That is why I asked whether you are willing."
The radiant elder's warning was already quite clear — obtaining this gift came with risk.
"Elder, earlier my brothers and I sensed someone watching this place from outside. Could it be they were coveting the Heavenly Court's Aura?" Xianhai Shaoyu asked.
The radiant elder did not answer. Instead, he said: "You need only answer — willing or not."
"Willing." Chu Feng gave his answer immediately.
Whether wealth, beauty, or any other advantage in this world — all of it comes with a certain degree of risk.
Everyone knew this.
But few would refuse something simply because of the risks that might come with it.
Because even without those things, it did not mean one was safe. On the contrary, one might be in even greater danger.
The strong at least had the capital to resist.
The weak could only be at the mercy of others.
"I'm willing too."
"Elder, I am willing."
"I-I-I-I… I'm willing too!"
Little Fishy and the others all voiced their agreement in turn.
The radiant elder then formed a technique with his hands.
In an instant, the void trembled, and four pillars of light descended from the sky, each surging into the bodies of Chu Feng and the other three.
The process did not take very long.
"Is this Heavenly Court's Aura really something anyone can find?" Wang Qiang looked toward Chu Feng.
"It is indeed very difficult to sense," Chu Feng said with a smile as well.
He understood what Wang Qiang meant — surely Wang Qiang could not feel the Heavenly Court's Aura that had entered his body.
So he was looking at Chu Feng, wanting to know if Chu Feng could sense it.
Chu Feng could actually sense a faint trace of it.
Within his Dantian, it appeared and vanished intermittently, but that was all — it was indeed hidden extremely deep.
"Very well. You have received what you were meant to receive. It is time for you to leave."
As the radiant elder spoke, he swept his great sleeve.
Wang Qiang, Little Fishy, and Xianhai Shaoyu vanished from the place.
This left Chu Feng momentarily stunned, because he was still here.
Only he and the radiant elder remained.
"Elder, you have something to say to this junior?" Chu Feng asked.
"Since returning from the Primordial Creation Ground, the three of them have already found their path — but you have not yet, correct?" the radiant elder asked.
"Yes." Chu Feng nodded.
The Primordial Creation Ground — he, Wang Qiang, Little Fishy, and Xianhai Shaoyu had all received its recognition.
The other three had all gained benefits, but Chu Feng alone had received nothing.
Although the Creation Palace within his body had given him guidance, it only pointed toward the Ancestral Martial Star River. Chu Feng had gone back before, but had found nothing.
The Creation Palace now resided within Chu Feng's Dantian. While it looked magnificent and imposing, it was little more than an ornament.
"What the three of them carry within them is a Creation Pavilion."
"Yours is a Creation Palace. If your difficulty were not greater, that would be abnormal."
"Because in ancient times, no more than ten people ever obtained a Creation Pavilion."
"Not a single one obtained a Creation Palace."
The radiant elder said.
"Wow, so your Creation Palace is one of a kind?"
Upon hearing this, Dan Dan's eyes lit up.
Although it was not yet useful, it was certainly a good thing — and any good thing would eventually find its use.
"Elder, are you afraid I might lose heart?" Chu Feng asked.
"I am telling you this because those two with the surname Long — it is not that I refuse to help them. Rather, this place has its own rules, and they truly are not qualified to undergo the trial."
