"Heavenly God?"
Hearing those words, Chu Feng realized that regardless of cultivation, the origin power of that Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace was indeed quite different from everyone else's.
"No wonder they hid poison inside the origin. This Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace's origin power is practically a massive feast for Spirit World beings," Egg Egg continued.
Not only were her injuries fully healed, but her cultivation had also received such a tremendous boost. Egg Egg was naturally delighted.
After all, this was an unexpected windfall.
The greatest surprises in this world were the ones you never saw coming.
And the scale of this particular surprise was enormous.
"In that case, once we enter the Ninth Heavenly River, we'll specifically hunt down people from the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace. Any who harbor ill intentions — we'll just kill them outright and serve them up as a feast for my Queen," Chu Feng said.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Hearing Chu Feng say that, Egg Egg's eyes lit up. "Didn't that Tian Jiancan say that under the Heavenly Court Sacred Temple, there are thirty-six Sacred Palaces? Besides her Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace, there were still over a dozen Sacred Palaces existing during the ancient era, right?"
"If they're all connected to the Heavenly Court Sacred Temple, maybe the origin power from the other Sacred Palaces would be just as nourishing. Don't let any of them go — let them all offer their lives to this Queen. A feast for the ages!"
Egg Egg was visibly excited.
The truth was, she was much like Chu Feng. While both of them could refine things that ordinary people couldn't, the amount of resources they needed to improve their cultivation was also far beyond what others required.
This was the first time Egg Egg had tasted such powerful origin power. Naturally, she loved it.
"Deal. Once we enter the Ninth Heavenly River, we'll target people under the Heavenly Court Sacred Temple," Chu Feng said.
"Great, great!" Seeing that Chu Feng agreed, Egg Egg grew even more excited — but then her small face turned serious. "Wait, Chu Feng, why haven't you gotten any stronger? Didn't you say the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace left behind some resources? Were they not enough?"
"I'm a bit short of breaking through to the seventh level of True God, but it's nothing major. I can make up the difference through my own cultivation."
"However, compared to becoming a Heavenly God, what I'm craving right now is stepping into the Heavenly Dragon realm," Chu Feng said.
"I know. While I was healing, I heard your conversation with the Spirit God."
"Alright, alright — hurry up and use your Three Realms Divine Eye to take a good look. See if you can find any clues."
"Find that ruin quickly and get the key fragment," Egg Egg said.
"Mm."
Chu Feng projected his consciousness back to his physical body and began observing carefully.
He first used his Heavenly Eye and actually discovered traces of clues.
It was the aura of the Prison Sect.
Though someone had deliberately erased it, some faint remnants still lingered.
After that, Chu Feng formed hand seals and briefly activated his Three Realms Divine Eye.
Under the Three Realms Divine Eye, the remnants of the Prison Sect's aura became far more prominent.
"It might be the Prison Sect," Chu Feng said to Egg Egg.
"The Prison Sect?"
"But why would they target the ruins of the Ancestral Martial Sect?" Egg Egg asked.
Chu Feng was pondering the same question.
After all, most people from the Prison Sect were martial cultivators. They shouldn't have any interest in ruins left behind by a Spirit World Master.
"Hm?"
But just then, Chu Feng's gaze drifted into the distance.
A horse-drawn carriage was approaching from far away.
The carriage was crude and simple, with nothing on it but a large wooden barrel.
The one driving it was a young boy.
The youth had an ordinary appearance with dark skin, but his smile was bright and radiant — thoroughly sunlit in nature.
He looked exactly like the kind of person who harbored a deep love for the world.
"Chu Feng, what's with that kid?" Egg Egg didn't understand why Chu Feng's gaze had settled on this youth.
Because by every measure, this boy seemed completely ordinary.
Not only was his appearance plain, his cultivation was extremely weak, and his family was probably just as ordinary — if not poor.
