"Yu'er, since you've already established contact with the Ancestral Ground..."
"Did the Ancestral Ground tell you what that demonic creature that devours its power looks like?"
Chu Feng asked.
"The Ancestral Ground doesn't know the creature's true form, only that it takes the appearance of a golden-haired woman."
Little Yu'er said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng immediately determined that the creature Little Yu'er spoke of was the golden-haired woman that had previously entered his Dantian.
"Yu'er, I may have already seen that creature."
Chu Feng said.
"Big brother saw that creature?"
"That creature is still around?"
Hearing this, Little Yu'er's expression changed dramatically. Not just shock, but far more fear. Because she had learned from the Ancestral Ground that the creature was extraordinarily powerful.
"Yu'er, don't worry."
"Whether or not that creature is still out there, it shouldn't pose a threat to us for the time being."
The reason Chu Feng said this was because the red Thunder Giant Beast had also told him — it couldn't interfere with matters outside, and Chu Feng would have to handle things on his own. So as long as the golden-haired woman didn't enter Chu Feng's Dantian world, even with his powerful bloodline, she couldn't do anything to her.
In other words, as long as the golden-haired woman tried to deal with Chu Feng through normal means, Chu Feng would be completely powerless to resist. But she hadn't appeared again. That meant regardless of whether the golden-haired woman was too severely injured or simply afraid, at least they were safe for now.
After that, Chu Feng told Little Yu'er about everything he had experienced, and shared his suspicions as well.
"No wonder the external force suppressing me suddenly dissipated."
"So it was that creature trying to seize big brother's bloodline power, only to be severely wounded by big brother's bloodline power in return."
"In the end, it was big brother who saved me after all."
Little Yu'er let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least they were safe now.
"Yu'er, if your clansmen remain trapped in this cultivation state and can't wake up..."
"Will it cause any harm to their bodies?"
Chu Feng asked.
"If left unchecked, their spirits will fall into the Chaos Domain. Minor cases will result in memory loss, and severe ones will lead to qi deviation."
Little Yu'er said.
"You need origin essence — is it because you can use origin essence to help them avoid these dangers?"
Chu Feng asked.
"Mhm."
As Little Yu'er spoke, she opened her palm and a bead materialized. The bead was entirely black, carved with runes, roughly the size of a pearl, but it was not a world — it was a supreme treasure. And it was extremely ancient, an artifact from the primordial era.
"Wow, nice find."
Egg Egg's eyes lit up. Her instincts told her this was a priceless treasure.
But Chu Feng could tell that the item was rather sinister — not an orthodox artifact.
"Big brother."
"The Ancestral Ground's power told me that by using origin essence to activate this item, the power it releases can prevent my clansmen from falling into the Chaos Domain."
"But this item leans toward the demonic path. For the sake of my family, I have no choice but to refine others' origin essence."
At this point, worry appeared on Little Yu'er's face.
"Big brother, would you think less of me for using demonic methods to protect my clansmen?"
Hearing this, Chu Feng laughed.
"Silly girl, why would you think that?"
"For your Spirit World sister, big brother here has refined more origin essence from others than I can count."
"But I've never considered myself a heretic, because none of those I killed were good people. They deserved to die."
