I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Northern Wilderness Region, Great Xia Dynasty.

When Chu Feng's figure reappeared in the sky above the capital, he couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu.

It has only been a little over a month since I left, but it feels like I have gone through several cycles of reincarnation.

He scanned the palace with his divine sense and found that the palace where Xiao Nihuang was located was shrouded by a powerful restriction. Within the restriction, seven-colored divine light flowed, and the faint sound of a phoenix's cry could be heard. Clearly, she was in seclusion healing her injuries and digesting the insights and bloodline transformation brought about by that battle.

Without disturbing them, Chu Feng arrived at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion in a flash.

The backyard of the mansion was in a mess.

Old Black's massive body lay weakly on the ground. His once imposing eyes were now dull and lifeless. His body was covered in deep wounds that exposed bone, and his breath was extremely faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

On its massive body, the primordial fire flickered weakly like a candle flame that could be extinguished at any moment. The bloodline originating from the ancient fire qilin was slowly dissipating at an irreversible rate.

"Old Black..."

Looking at its appearance, Chu Feng felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and a wave of bitterness and guilt surged up in his throat.

"sorry."

He walked over to Old Black, squatted down, and gently stroked its burning hot yet weak head.

Old Black struggled to open its eyes and saw Chu Feng. A hint of relief appeared in its huge eyes. It grinned and let out a weak whimper.

"It's alright... Master... Being able to follow you... see the light of day again... and live for so long... is enough..."

Its voice was intermittent, yet it conveyed a sense of open-mindedness.

"It's a pity... I couldn't personally... kill those bastards... to avenge myself..."

"Don't worry, I won't let you die!" Chu Feng interrupted it, his voice resolute.

He immediately focused his mind and asked urgently, "Senior Medicine King, is there any way to save it?"

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the figure of Medicine King Yun Qingzi appeared. Looking at Lao Hei outside, who was almost completely exhausted, he frowned and pondered for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Disaster."

"Its essence was burned too thoroughly in the previous battle with the powerful experts of the Holy Heaven Sect. Now it is at its last gasp. Ordinary pills and spiritual herbs are nothing more than a drop in the ocean for it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's heart sank.

"Is there... really no way?"

"There is a way," the Medicine King said, changing the subject. "Its true form is an ancient fire qilin, a fire-type divine beast. There are only two ways to save it."

"First, find a top-tier fire-attribute sacred herb, or even a divine herb, and restore its original essence."

"Secondly, one must find a divine fire that is extremely yang and strong in the world, and let it devour and refine him, using fire to nourish fire, so that one can break through and be reborn."

Holy medicine! Divine fire!

Chu Feng's eyes narrowed.

"Both sacred medicines and divine fire have long since vanished in this spiritually depleted lower realm. The only hope lies in the vast and boundless upper realm, where perhaps a trace can be found." The Medicine Emperor's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

The Upper Realm!

It's the Upper Realm again!

Chu Feng took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.

It seems I must make a trip to the Upper Realm as soon as possible.

For my sister, and for Lao Hei!

After calming Lao Hei down, Chu Feng went to visit his grandfather, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

However, Chu Tianyuan was also in seclusion at the moment.

He sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, enveloped in a faint golden aura. The power originating from the depths of the Chu family bloodline was being gradually activated and refined by him.

His aura had become several degrees stronger than before, and there were faint signs that he was about to transform into a higher level.

Chu Feng didn't disturb him; he just glanced at him silently and then withdrew.

Ji Ruxue, Ling'er, and the others were all in the Prince's mansion. Upon learning of Chu Feng's return, they were all overjoyed.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chu Feng once again chose to go into seclusion.

After the Burial Coffin devoured the Ghost King's true Soul Refining Banner, he only absorbed about 20-30% of the enormous energy contained within it. The remaining portion was enough to support him in completing another massive transformation.

Inside the secret room, Chu Feng sat cross-legged.

The Coffin of Burial hovered above his head, its crimson vortex slowly rotating. Streams of the purest essence of the soul and the power of the laws of death poured into his sea of ​​consciousness and dantian like a sudden enlightenment.

His cultivation aura began to rise steadily and rapidly.

Time flies by during cultivation.

Seven days later.

boom!!!

A terrifying aura, far exceeding anything seen before, surged into the sky from the secret chamber!

Chu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light, as solid as metal, pierced through the void!

Peak of the ninth level of the Life and Death Realm!

Just one step away from transcending life and death, shattering the void, and ascending to the upper realm!

Feeling the surging power within him like a vast ocean, Chu Feng stood up, but there was no joy on his face.

Because he knew that this was far from enough.

The enemies in the upper realm were far more powerful than he had imagined.

Whether it's the Holy Heaven Sect, the mysterious Alchemist Association, or the Misty Rain Pavilion lurking somewhere unknown, each one is a behemoth capable of easily crushing him in his current state.

Just as Chu Feng was pondering how to improve his strength and head to the Upper Realm as soon as possible...

Rumble—!!!

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the direction of Zhongzhou!

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly thick divine light, piercing through heaven and earth, shot up from the heart of the Central Plains, tearing the sky apart!

An extremely rich life force, seemingly capable of reviving all things and regenerating flesh from withered bones, swept across the entire Nine Provinces continent like a storm, even penetrating the fragile spatial barrier and spreading towards the endless void!

"This is……"

Chu Feng's pupils suddenly contracted. He swayed and tore through space, teleporting towards the direction from which the strange phenomenon originated.

When he reappeared, he was already above Kyushu City.

The source of that heavenly light was none other than the Qian family mansion in the city!

"Oh no! It's that girl!"

In Chu Feng's sea of ​​consciousness, the Medicine King's voice carried for the first time an undisguised look of horror and anxiety!

"The Blood of Immortality! It's her bloodline, fully awakened!"
