Chapter 6111: An Elder’s Backing
“I’m not sure either,” Chu Feng replied.
He was reluctant to give up, but he didn’t want to put other people in danger either. At the same time, it would be difficult for him to win alone, especially when he knew that someone in the Netherworld Sect had the power to influence the Luck Saint Realm.
Even so, his gut feeling told him that there was something special about Luck Saint Realm, and this was a huge fortuitous encounter.
If the Divine Deer’s power recovered before then, he was determined to give it a try.
Even if it didn’t recover, he would still consider the matter.
“I’m not sure, but I haven’t fully given up on it yet.”
“Why not let your friends help you? You have put your life on the line to save them, especially the Totem Dragon Clan. If not for you, they would have been obliterated by the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that you’re their savior.
“Friends ought to help one another. Since you have put yourselves on the line for them, shouldn’t they bear some risks for you too? Besides, the world knows you’re on close terms with the Totem Dragon Clan. There’s no guarantee that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion and the Netherworld Sect will let them off even if they steer clear of this matter,” Eggy said with crossed arms.
She knew Chu Feng didn’t want his friends to risk their lives for him, but what she valued was different. She didn’t care about anyone except Chu Feng, so she thought it was only right for Chu Feng’s friends to help him in times of danger.
“I want this fortuitous encounter, but I can’t help but think something is amiss. I’ll need more time to think things through, though I’ll also admit that I don’t want my friends to risk their lives for me.
“Eggy, I know you care about me, but that’s how I am. I don’t mind going all out for my friends because they mean that much to me. It’ll pang on my conscience if I don’t help them when I know they are in trouble. It’s also for the same reason that I don’t want to put them in trouble.
“I just hope that everyone I care about will remain safe and sound,” Chu Feng said.
“All right, all right. I know I can’t convince you, so do whatever you want.”
Eggy didn’t bother arguing with Chu Feng. They had been together long enough for her to know what kind of person he was. She didn’t agree with his decision, but she supported him nevertheless.
Chu Feng headed to the Totem Dragon Clan via the Nine Heavens Secret Domain’s teleportation formations.
The Totem Dragon Clan treated him with utmost hospitality. An elder immediately welcomed him as if he had been waiting for him and brought him into their main hall.
“Please wait here for a moment, young hero Chu Feng. I’ll call Lord Clan Chief over,” the elder said before taking his leave.
Chu Feng waited for hours before the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief appeared.
“Elder Clan Chief.” Chu Feng quickly stood up and rushed to the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief’s side.
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief was not in good condition—his face was pale as if he had suffered severe injuries.
“I’m fine, young friend Chu Feng. I’m not injured. I was practicing our Totem Dragon Clan’s special cultivation skill.” The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief squeezed out a smile to allay Chu Feng’s worries.
“Elder, did you break out of your closed-door training to meet me?” Chu Feng asked.
“Of course not. You're overthinking it. I was planning to go into closed-door training, but I'm still in the preparation stage,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief replied.
“Elder, I find it hard to believe that you’d sustain such severe injuries during the preparation stage.” Chu Feng remained doubtful.
“I knew you’d overthink. Here, take a look.”
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief passed an ancient scroll over.
Chu Feng unfurled the scroll.
It contained a special cultivation skill. It required one to first temper their body with a special medicine, and the tempering would greatly weaken one afterward.
However, this weakening wasn’t harmful. It was the result of compressing one’s power to open up space, which could later be filled up with a huge amount of precious medicine.
This process, however, would result in excessive energy accumulating inside one’s body. The energy would have to be properly let out or else one could die of energy overload. It was also at this point that the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief had to go into closed-door training.
This cultivation skill allowed one to gain power within a short time, but it was dangerous and required tremendous financial prowess and connections, as many of the precious medicines were so rare that they couldn’t be bought with money.
“Elder, are you trying to push for a breakthrough to Heavenly God level?” Chu Feng asked.
“That’s right.” The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief nodded.
Through their conversation, Chu Feng learned that Long Chengyu and Long Muxi had gone into closed-door training.
The Totem Dragon Clan was a galaxy overlord, after all.
While Long Lin’s rebellion had led to considerable losses for the Totem Dragon Clan, his goal hadn’t been to bring down the Totem Dragon Clan but to heal Long Xue. So, he didn’t hand the Totem Dragon Clan’s treasures to the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect.
Thanks to that, the Totem Dragon Clan still had the treasures their ancestors had stockpiled over time.
The Totem Dragon Clan had no intention to compete for God’s Era’s power, but they knew that they couldn’t lag too far behind the other powers either. At the very least, they needed to be strong enough to protect themselves.
So, they didn’t hesitate to mobilize all their resources to strengthen themselves after taking back the Totem Dragon Clan.
Long Chengyu and Long Muxi were pushing for a breakthrough to True God level, whereas the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief was aiming for Heavenly God level.
“We need a Heavenly God level cultivator, or else it’s only a matter of time before someone else steals our everything. Our clashes with the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect and Long Lin has shown as much,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief said with a helpless sigh.
It was out of no choice that he made this decision.
He was depleting the resources his ancestors had stockpiled over the generations, but this was necessary for the Totem Dragon Clan’s survival.
“You’ll succeed,” Chu Feng replied.
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief chuckled.
“Young friend Chu Feng, I have heard about the Luck Saint Realm. Chengyu, Muxi, and I should have emerged from our closed-door training by then. Rest assured. Whether I reach Heavenly God level or not, our Totem Dragon Clan will have your back. We won’t let the Netherworld Sect make light of you!” the Totem Dragon Clan thumped his chest and said.
He sounded like an elder determined to stand up for Chu Feng.
