"Seniors, let's keep it brief. Due to certain circumstances, a force in the Eastern Region now wishes to annihilate our Nine Provinces Continent, and that force is one I currently cannot contend with."
"Because of this, the Nine Provinces Continent can no longer remain safe. I cannot guarantee that after the Imperial Clan of Gao, other forces might not come. For safety's sake, you must temporarily relocate elsewhere and live under assumed names."
"Once you've relocated, I hope all people from my Nine Provinces Continent will cast aside any differences and unite as one, for now, we are all family."
"Ancestor, please take charge of these supplies. They may not be abundant, but they will help increase your overall strength." As he spoke, Chu Feng handed over the supplies he had seized from the Imperial Clan of Gao to Dragon Daoist.
After a brief inspection of the supplies, even Dragon Daoist's expression changed dramatically, shocked by the sheer abundance. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then smiled at Chu Feng:
"Chu Feng, please, no more calling me Ancestor. I am far inferior to you now. If outsiders heard that a master of your caliber calls me Ancestor, they'd surely laugh." As he said this, Dragon Daoist's face was filled with shame.
It wasn't just Dragon Daoist; Zhuge Liuyun, Li Changqing, and many others present felt ashamed. In terms of seniority, they were far above Chu Feng, but in terms of strength, they were now worlds apart.
"Ancestor, how can you say that? As the saying goes, one day a teacher, a father for life. How much more so for you, my Ancestor?"
"Regardless of when or what I become, I, Chu Feng, will never forget that I am a disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect. I will never forget that in the Azure Dragon Sect I have a Master named Zhuge Liuyun, and an Ancestor named Dragon Daoist."
Chu Feng said this with utter sincerity. These were his true feelings. He would never forget their roles. It wasn't just these two; he would respect and revere many seniors present for his entire life, no matter how powerful he became. This attitude would never change.
Because a person must not forget their roots, nor forget those who helped them when they had nothing and were too weak to resist a single blow.
Hearing Chu Feng's words, Dragon Daoist said no more. However, the gratified smile on his face clearly expressed his current mood.
Afterward, Chu Feng first sent away the powerful experts from various continents who had come, using other pretexts. The imperial clans that had nearly been buried here had also learned of the danger the Nine Provinces Continent faced and hurriedly departed on their own, without needing to be urged.
Even so, they would not forget that a young man named Chu Feng had saved them.
After seeing off these outsiders, Chu Feng instructed the ten thousand experts of the Resentful Night Demon Sect to split up using the ten incredibly fast warships, relocating all those with close ties to him. As for the destination, Chu Feng had chosen it long ago—it was also on the Eastern Continent, but absolutely safe.
This relocation was a massive undertaking, but the ten warships were exceptionally fast. Despite the large number of people, the entire process was completed in just over a month.
Now, all individuals and even forces closely connected to Chu Feng had been transferred from the ancestral soil of the Nine Provinces Continent.
During this relocation, the Jiang Dynasty, at Chu Feng's urging, had also issued a public notice. It stated that certain resources on the Nine Provinces Continent had attracted the attention of powerful outsiders, who might soon lead an army to attack. The people were advised to leave as soon as possible to avoid being caught up in the conflict.
Furthermore, while issuing this notice, the Jiang Dynasty had distributed varying degrees of financial compensation to various forces and even the common people. This was more than enough to cover the losses incurred by their migration and was essentially free, significant income for them.
Those forces willing to help the common people migrate quickly out of the Nine Provinces Continent would receive even more generous rewards.
Of course, this vast sum of funds did not come from the Jiang Dynasty, but from Chu Feng himself. After all, the wealth he currently commanded was far beyond what the Jiang Dynasty could match.
Under these circumstances, from the top-tier major forces down to the common people, almost everyone began to migrate. Except for a small portion unwilling to leave, the majority chose to depart.
It was believed that in the near future, the Nine Provinces Continent would become a desolate place, seldom visited by humans.
After completing the relocation, Chu Feng went to the territory of the Spirit World Guild. There was one place here he wanted to challenge one last time before leaving: the enigmatic Asura Ghost Tower.
By now, almost all members of the Spirit World Guild had left, with only a small number remaining to guard this territory. Setting aside the fact that no one could stop Chu Feng given his current strength, his relationship with the Spirit World Guild also ensured no one would attempt to hinder him.
Thus, Chu Feng entered the Asura Ghost Tower without any obstruction and reached the seventh level, where the Demon Monkey King had once been imprisoned.
"The barriers here are truly ingenious. No wonder even my monkey brother was trapped here for so long back then."
At this moment, Chu Feng extended his Mental Power, using his Heavenly Eye to observe his surroundings. With the Barrier Techniques he now commanded, he easily shattered the formation that had once trapped the Demon Monkey King and had already ventured deep within.
However, the deeper he went, the more complex the barrier mechanisms became. Without his Heavenly Eye, Chu Feng would have been unable to locate the methods to break them using just his Mental Power; he might not even have discovered these mechanisms at all.
Under these conditions, the pressure on Chu Feng grew steadily greater. He didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. He had to admit that the master of the Asura Ghost Tower was indeed no ordinary figure.
And these impeccably crafted barrier mechanisms made Chu Feng realize even more strongly that if a true treasure was sealed here, it would absolutely be an extraordinary one.
"Eggie, what exactly is this Asura Ghost Tower? From the outside, it clearly looks like just a tower, but why is it so vast inside?"
While moving forward cautiously, Chu Feng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, for he had discovered that the seventh level of the Asura Ghost Tower was simply too large—it was dozens of times larger than the combined size of the first six levels.
"Hehe, this Asura Ghost Tower is itself a grand formation. The moment you entered the seventh level, you stepped into the true formation."
"How vast it truly is remains unknown. If created by an exceptional Spirit World Master, it's not impossible that an independent world could have been carved out within this formation." Eggie explained.
"That incredible? Then when can you teach me how to construct something like this Asura Ghost Tower?" As another one who had contracted with the Asura Spirit World, Chu Feng grew even more interested in the tower.
"You? You're still far from ready."
Eggie pouted, indicating that constructing this Asura Ghost Tower was not so simple. After all, creating a new space and sustaining it for ten millennia required extremely powerful Barrier Techniques, which Chu Feng currently did not possess.
"Heh..." Hearing Eggie's words, Chu Feng wasn't angry. Instead, he chuckled and looked ahead, saying, "So tell me, behind this barrier gate ahead, is it a world, or a trap?"
