Fei was, after all, a genius.
Under Song Changsheng's guidance, he quickly grasped the cultivation method.
He began cultivating through gritted teeth.
Why gritted teeth?
Naturally, it was because the burning force, before it could be controlled, still inflicted considerable pain and torment on him.
Seeing Fei in this state, Song Changsheng felt quite helpless. In his view, Fei would find it nearly impossible to concentrate on cultivation like this.
But when he looked at Chu Feng — that focused demeanor, and from all appearances, seemingly no longer showing much pain — a mix of complex emotions stirred within his heart.
"Take this."
Song Changsheng flipped his palm, and two pills emanating a frosty aura appeared in his hand.
These were pills he had prepared in advance, knowing that Fei would one day resort to forbidden means.
"Thank you, Master."
Fei was no fool. At a single glance he could tell these had been prepared by his Master. He was not only thrilled but so moved that tears nearly welled up in his eyes.
"Chu Feng, suppressing the burning force completely isn't easy. You should take one as well."
Song Changsheng handed the other pill to Chu Feng.
"Thank you, Senior."
Chu Feng didn't dawdle either. He accepted it and swallowed it immediately.
Because Song Changsheng was entirely right.
Though on the surface Chu Feng appeared to have the burning force roughly under control, achieving true, complete control was far from simple.
These pills could indeed diminish the influence of the burning force on him and improve his concentration.
"Chu Feng, just cultivate here in peace. If the Seven Worlds Holy Palace moves toward that world, I'll notify you."
Song Changsheng spoke up, not wanting Chu Feng and the others to worry about the situation in the Array Eye World.
"I appreciate your trouble, Senior."
Chu Feng replied in kind.
He was not surprised that Song Changsheng knew about the Array Eye World.
It only confirmed that Song Changsheng had been observing from the shadows all along.
Although they had grasped the method, this was still a Fourth Stage Divine Seal — something they were fundamentally incapable of cultivating.
Moreover, the burning force was inherently wild and violent. Attempting to fuse it with their bloodlines was no simple matter.
And storing that power away was even harder — it truly required considerable time.
Fortunately, all of the Seven Worlds Holy Palace's forces were following Jie Tianran's orders to the letter.
Their main contingents had not encountered any members of the Chu Alliance.
As for Jie Tianran, though he was stationed in the Array Eye World of the Immortal Sea Heavenly River, extracting its power, he had also been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Chu Alliance.
While the main forces had been dispatched to worlds that harbored stronger remnants of the Divine Era's power, the Seven Worlds Holy Palace had always operated under the philosophy of taking everything.
So the worlds they considered to contain weaker traces of the Divine Era's power were not to be left behind either.
Naturally, Seven Worlds Holy Palace squads had been sent to those worlds as well to extract power.
How could those squads possibly stand against the Chu Alliance's elites?
On top of that, Chu Feng had already issued a kill-on-sight order against the Seven Worlds Holy Palace.
So every member of the Seven Worlds Holy Palace who crossed paths with the Chu Alliance met their end without a single survivor.
Though those people had all been bound to Life Plates, a figure like Jie Tianran would never concern himself with their fates.
The Seven Worlds Holy Palace's Saint-level Elders wouldn't spare those people a second thought either.
But there was always someone who would notice.
War, after all, meant death was inevitable.
At first, the Seven Worlds Holy Palace's people hadn't paid much mind.
But as more and more of their number perished, the Seven Worlds Holy Palace began to take notice, and the intelligence was relayed upward, layer by layer.
Eventually, it reached Jie Tianran.
At this moment, an elder stood before Jie Tianran and had just finished briefing him on the general situation.
"Palace Master, while it is true that our Seven Worlds Holy Palace has suffered considerable losses, our main forces have not encountered the so-called Chu Alliance's troops."
"The extraction of the Divine Era's power has also been proceeding very smoothly."
"This goes to show that the so-called Chu Alliance is nothing but bluster."
"When it comes to matters requiring real confrontation and genuine competition for resources, they simply do not dare go head-to-head with our Seven Worlds Holy Palace."
The elder added.
