Chapter 5989: Respect?

“Chu Feng, decipher that formation if you wish to earn my respect. If you do that, I’ll consider letting that woman live,” the white-haired, black-armored man said as he snapped his fingers.

Chu Feng saw the formation whirring faster and faster. Moments later, pained groans echoed from within.

It was from Huahua.

“Elder, let her out. I’m willing to enter the formation.” Chu Feng couldn’t turn a blind eye to Huahua’s suffering.

“Good.” The white-haired, black-armored man snapped his finger once more.

A figure floated out of the formation. It was Huahua.

She didn’t have any injuries, but she looked withered as if she had suffered a great psychological trauma.

“Elder!”

Chu Feng rushed forward to catch Huahua. He grabbed her wrist and helped calm her down.

“Chu Feng, I am... alive?”

Huahua knew that she was still alive when she saw Chu Feng, but she couldn’t understand how she escaped from the formation when she failed to decipher it.

“Thank this junior here. He has agreed to challenge the formation on your behalf, so I made an exception and spared you. Be humble next time and do only what is within your means, lest you burden others,” the white-haired, black-armored man’s voice echoed, but this time, it came from the formation.

The man had already vanished from sight. He didn’t think Huahua was qualified to face him.

Huahua turned to Chu Feng in search of answers. The latter nodded with a smile, verifying those words.

“Chu Feng, you... you can’t go!” Huahua grabbed Chu Feng’s hand.

“Rest assured, elder. I can clear the formation.”

Chu Feng pushed Huahua’s hand aside, knowing he had to challenge the formation or else Huahua would die.

“I won’t allow you to go, Chu Feng!” Huahua adamantly held onto Chu Feng’s hand, not allowing him to leave.

She knew how terrifying the formation was, having been through it herself. It was one thing for Chu Feng to enter it of his own volition, but he was doing it to save her.

She couldn’t allow him to die for her sake!

“Elder we’ll both die if I don’t go,” Chu Feng told her via voice transmission.

He was intimidating Huahua. His gut feeling told him that the white-haired, black-armored man wouldn’t hurt him, but the same couldn’t be said about Huahua.

Huahua could be in danger if he didn’t enter the formation.

As he had expected, Huahua hesitated upon hearing those words. It was one thing for her to die here since she had brought this upon herself, but she couldn’t drag Chu Feng down with her.

Through her reaction, Chu Feng could tell that she was a loyal friend.

“Trust me, elder. I can clear the formation. I’ll bring you out of here safely,” Chu Feng said with a smile.

He pushed aside Huahua’s hand and walked toward the formation.

Huahua strained herself to sit up to watch Chu Feng’s departing silhouette. Fluster and guilt could be seen reflected on her face, like a child who had done wrong. They wouldn’t have been in this precarious position if not for her insisting on entering the formation.

However, it was too late for regrets. She could only pray for Chu Feng to fare better than her. Under her watch, Chu Feng’s figure disappeared in the formation, and the formation whirred into action.

As Chu Feng had expected, this formation couldn’t be deciphered with Initiate Tome as it was a trial formation. However, he soon realized that the trial served to test one’s willpower and talent. It would have been hellish for anyone else, but it was easier than he had thought.

In the formation, spirit power gushed through Chu Feng’s body like vicious ghosts, bringing a frown to his face. Just because he had strong willpower didn’t mean that the trial was a breeze for him. He had to close his eyes and clench his teeth to endure the excruciating pain.

All of a sudden, he opened his eyes. He realized that the spirit power raging in the surroundings was no longer attacking him.

Moments later, the white-haired, black-armored man emerged from the flurrying spirit power. From the looks of it, Chu Feng had cleared the trial.

“As expected of the strongest prodigy of the present era. Chu Feng, you didn’t let me down.”

Chu Feng could sense the white-haired, black-armored man’s gaze despite not being able to see his face. He sensed that the other party was delighted with the outcome.

“Elder, is there something you need me to do?” Chu Feng asked.

“Not at all,” the white-haired, black-armored man replied.

“Really?”

“Are you that eager to do something for me?”

“If there’s something to be gained, I don’t mind working for it.”

“So that’s what you’re after. I’ll be disappointing you. You won’t be getting any cultivation resources or treasures from me. However, you have already obtained the most valuable thing here, and that’s my respect.”

Chu Feng chuckled.

Most people desired respect, but that also depended on who it was coming from. Chu Feng wanted to be respected too, but he didn’t need the respect of everyone in the world. More often than not, he didn’t care about how others viewed him.

That was why he preferred treasures over something as intangible as respect.

However, there was no point harping on this matter since the white-haired, black-armored man had already made his stance clear.

Thus, Chu Feng changed the topic and asked, “Elder, may I know how I should address you?”

“You need not know who I am. You’ll learn about me once you reach a certain level.”

“Elder, what level do I have to reach to learn about you?”

The white-haired, black-armored man chuckled before asking, “You have acquired the World Spiritist Emperor’s legacy, right?”

“Mm.” Chu Feng didn’t deny it, knowing that the other party wouldn’t have asked that question without any basis.

“You’ll be qualified to know more about me once your strength approaches that of the World Spiritist Emperor, but for now, you still have to work hard. There’s still a huge gap between the present era and the Ancient Era.”

Everything began to dissipate. A humongous spirit formation gate manifested—it was identical to the spirit formation gate they had entered earlier.

Meanwhile, the white-haired, black-armored man retreated into the flurrying spirit power.

Sensing that the other party was about to leave, Chu Feng quickly asked, “Elder, do you know what happened in the Ancient Era? What’s in the Ninth Galaxy? What treasures are there?”

He dropped a series of questions, but there was no response.
