"It's the Prison Sect," Chu Feng said.
After all, he now knew that the Imperishable Star Domain had been taken by the Prison Sect.
And the Prison Sect intended to use the Imperishable Star Domain for some purpose.
Chu Feng relayed everything he knew to Sikong Changsheng.
Including the fact that the Demon-Slaying Emperor's inheritance lay within the Haifan Realm of the Imperishable Star Domain.
"This Prison Sect — having lurked all the way to the present day, it seems they really are determined to accomplish something."
Sikong Changsheng sighed.
"Senior, do you know a great deal about the Prison Sect?"
Chu Feng asked.
After all, a living fossil like this senior would naturally know more than most.
"This Prison Sect was already present in the early era."
"Even back then, they were very mysterious. They claimed no territory and rarely contested ruins."
"But according to what this old man knows, the Prison Sect does have considerable strength."
"They simply operate with a low profile."
"However, even after factions like our Ancestral Martial Realm Sect departed from the current cultivation world, the Prison Sect remained just as low-key."
"Then, a thousand years ago, things changed."
"They suddenly began targeting genstrosity on a massive scale, planting what are called Prison Infants inside gifted children."
"In the early era, the traces they left behind were very few — you could almost call them invisible."
"As for the later period, because this old man was previously injured, what I was able to observe was limited as well. This is all I know."
"However, in this old man's estimation, the Prison Sect's strength is not inferior to that of the Seven Realms Holy Mansion."
"It may even be stronger."
"After all, such a grand scheme is no simple feat."
As Sikong Changsheng finished his lament, he once again looked toward the Imperishable Star Domain that had already manifested.
"The Prison Sect's current strength is indeed unfathomable."
"But as long as they don't provoke me, whether they're strong or weak is none of my concern."
"What I want is the inheritance within the Haifan Realm."
Chu Feng said.
"So you're going to the Imperishable Star Domain?" Sikong Changsheng asked.
"Mn." Chu Feng nodded.
"Chu Feng, actually this old man has a question that troubles me," Sikong Changsheng said.
"Please ask, Senior," Chu Feng said.
"You don't seem interested in the power of the Age of the Gods?" Sikong Changsheng said.
"How could I not be interested in the power of the Age of the Gods?" Chu Feng said.
"Then why, when the Age of the Gods has clearly shown signs of activity, do you want to go to the Haifan Realm of the Imperishable Star Domain first?"
"The Demon-Slaying Emperor — this old man has heard of him. He made some name for himself in the early era thanks to the Demon-Slaying Sword."
"But only 'some.'"
"The inheritance he left behind cannot possibly surpass what the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect left behind."
"And yet, obviously, the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect's inheritance still pales in comparison to the Age of the Gods."
"Now, two opportunities lie before you: the Demon-Slaying Emperor and the Age of the Gods."
"By any reckoning, you should choose the Age of the Gods," Sikong Changsheng said.
"The Demon-Slaying Sword that this junior obtained is the key to opening the Demon-Slaying Emperor's tomb."
"No one other than this junior can unlock the Demon-Slaying Emperor's inheritance."
"Since the Demon-Slaying Emperor chose this junior, even if the inheritance offers no benefit whatsoever, this junior should still claim it."
"I cannot simply let his inheritance be buried and forgotten."
Chu Feng said.
"You brat — truly a man of loyalty and righteousness."
Hearing Chu Feng say this, Sikong Changsheng felt he couldn't press the matter further.
But he still asked: "Then the last time you entered the Age of the Gods, why did you give up halfway?"
Previously, when the Age of the Gods opened.
Chu Feng had not only entered it but also activated the Heavenly Stairway, triggering an astonishing phenomenon.
Everyone could see that if Chu Feng had stepped through, he would surely have gained something — yet Chu Feng had walked away.
"Senior, you could tell that this junior gave up voluntarily?" Chu Feng asked.
The situation at the time had been visible to everyone outside.
