"The last star?"
Hearing those words, everyone felt the pressure.
Because no matter how you looked at it, that final star was far too terrifying.
Its exterior alone was already this frightening — the difficulty of the inheritance within was surely extreme.
But Chu Feng didn't feel particularly pressured.
Tian Jian Can, on the other hand, looked quite grim.
After all, she had wanted to obtain the inheritance from the Seven Stars Alignment.
She had been planning to challenge the sixth star, but the inheritance there had chosen to accept Xian Miaomiao instead.
So she had shifted her target to the final star.
She simply hadn't expected that the last star would look this terrifying just from a distance.
Even she felt her resolve waver.
"Chu Feng."
Just then, Xian Miaomiao flew out from within the tombstone.
"You got the inheritance?" Chu Feng asked.
"Mm, this inheritance is perfect for me. But it really wasn't easy — I truly have you to thank for it."
"And also the seniors here."
"This junior thanks all the seniors present."
Xian Miaomiao approached Chu Feng and first bowed to the members of the Spirit God Clan.
She already knew that Chu Feng and the Spirit God Clan had activated an assistance array for her. Without that array, she might not have obtained the inheritance at all.
"We merely followed our Master's orders," said Shen Hui.
"Master?"
At those words, everyone turned curious gazes their way.
After all, the origins of the Spirit God Clan were deeply mysterious.
In terms of pure combat strength, they couldn't compare to the Zhao Immortal Clan, the Ye Immortal Clan, or the Heavenly Sword Holy Palace.
But their overall power was simply too great.
Every single member was a Heavenly-tier Spirit World Master, and the methods they commanded were remarkably formidable. Their ceiling, by any measure, was incredibly high.
If they were already this powerful, what kind of existence could their master possibly be?
"Our master is none other than Lord Chu Feng."
Shen Hui, sensing the crowd's curiosity, gave them a direct answer.
"What? Chu Feng is your master?"
Everyone's expressions were a sight to behold, and Tian Jian Can found it absolutely inconceivable.
After all, there was a difference between "lord" and "master."
"Lord" could simply be an honorific. But "master" was the real deal. Calling someone your master meant placing yourself in a very lowly position.
Why would a clan as powerful as the Spirit God Clan willingly call Chu Feng their master?
Even if Chu Feng had extraordinary potential, he was still far weaker than them at present.
"It's a long story, so I won't go into it."
"In any case, it's truly an honor to have earned the appreciation of the seniors of the Spirit God Clan," Chu Feng said with a smile.
But Shen Hui immediately corrected him: "No, Master. Being able to serve you is our honor."
"Lady Shen Hui speaks the truth. Serving our Master is the honor of our Spirit God Clan."
Even the members of the Spirit God Clan who typically weren't great with words collectively voiced their agreement at this moment.
The scene left everyone dumbfounded.
But Wang Qiang, Xiao Yu'er, Xian Miaomiao, and the others were all beaming, happy that Chu Feng had gained such a powerful ally in the Spirit God Clan.
Just then, a secret voice transmission reached Chu Feng's ears — it was Xian Miaomiao: "Chu Feng, you absolutely must go and break through that last star."
"There, you can not only obtain an inheritance, but also gain the qualification to open the Heaven-reaching Gate."
"I've already obtained that qualification. I can open the Heaven-reaching Gate right now and enter the Ninth Heavenly River."
Hearing this, Chu Feng also sent a secret transmission in response, offering his congratulations: "Miaomiao, congratulations!"
"Oh please, that's all thanks to your fortune."
"But Chu Feng, you're going to enter the Ninth Heavenly River too, aren't you? So you absolutely have to break through that last star yourself — you can't give it to anyone else."
"What's more, all of our lives depend on whether that last star is conquered or not. You can't be generous with this one."
"Even if life and death are uncertain, I'd still feel much safer with our lives in your hands," Xian Miaomiao warned.
As she transmitted her message, she also cast a glance toward Tian Jian Can.
The meaning was obvious — she already knew Tian Jian Can had her eye on the inheritance, and she feared that Chu Feng's nature might lead him to genuinely offer the opportunity to her.
"I'll handle this one myself," Chu Feng replied via secret transmission.
Afterward, Chu Feng set out with everyone and headed directly for the final star.
However, the moment they truly approached that star, they were seized by a powerful force.
In the next instant, the entire group was swept into the same spatial tunnel simultaneously.
The moment they emerged from the tunnel, they found themselves within the star's world.
