Chapter 1189: Chapter 1190: Double Blessings
Xing Xuan heard Chu Fengmian’s words and slowly began to speak.
"The Purple Quercus Divine Fruit generally only appears in chaotic space-time and is impossible to exist on the Ancient Demon Continent. It seems that the Heavenly Peng Emperor must have obtained this Purple Quercus Divine Fruit from another continent."
"The Heavenly Peng Emperor can go to other continents?"
Chu Fengmian asked with some confusion.
Crossing the cosmos is still an extremely distant task for Chu Fengmian. Although from ancient books, Chu Fengmian knows that many powerful beings in Ancient Times had the ability to cross the cosmos.
But what realm one must reach to achieve this is unclear to Chu Fengmian.
"Generally, once one reaches the realm above the Seven Tribulations Emperor, they can comprehend the laws and forcibly cross the cosmos to other continents, but they must rely on a kind of Spiritual Artifact, the power of an Ark."
Xing Xuan began to explain.
Now that Chu Fengmian’s strength has reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm, he is also qualified to know many things.
"Of course, this Ark is not like those in the Nine Domains, but a real stargazing boat. The Arks of the Nine Domains are just empty shells and cannot truly cross the cosmos."
"A Seven Tribulations Emperor can cross the cosmos with the help of an Ark, but if one reaches the level of a Nine Tribulations Emperor, they can do so with their physical body alone, without the Ark."
Crossing the cosmos with the physical body!
This is a legend about powerful beings from Ancient Times.
With Chu Fengmian’s current strength, even stepping into the cosmos would mean getting ruthlessly obliterated, unless he drifted along with the chaotic space-time currents.
But if he did that, where he might end up would remain an unknown.
"So, I must become a Seven Tribulations Emperor to return to the Nine Domains?"
Chu Fengmian suddenly frowned.
He wants to return to the Nine Domains, so crossing the cosmos is necessary.
Although Chu Fengmian’s current strength has reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm, he is still far from being a Seven Tribulations Emperor.
Without a heaven-shocking opportunity, reaching the Seven Tribulations Emperor is a feat that would take countless years.
For an emperor, ascending once every thousand years is considered fast enough.
Many emperors have not ascended in two or three thousand years. Even with Chu Fengmian’s exceptional talent, being ten times faster than others, he would still need several hundred years.
This span of time is too long.
"Is there no other way?"
Chu Fengmian arrived on the Ancient Demon Continent by accident, and now that he has regained his strength, he wants to search for Han Yueli and Luo Xi, and then return to the Nine Domains.
After all, Chu Fengmian still has many unfinished tasks and doesn’t have much time to linger on the Ancient Demon Continent.
"There should be a way. The chaotic space-time brought you here because there is an ancient Teleportation Array between the Nine Domains and the Ancient Demon Continent. If you can find it, you can use it to return directly."
Xing Xuan thought for a moment and then said.
"But this Teleportation Array has long disappeared, and even if it exists, its location is unknown."
"If it cannot be found, the only option is to cultivate to the point of becoming a Seven Tribulations Emperor and then look for an Ark to return to the Nine Domains."
A Teleportation Array needs to be searched for, but increasing strength is more important. If it cannot be found, it will be necessary to cultivate to become a Seven Tribulations Emperor.
Chu Fengmian thought to himself, not feeling discouraged.
After all, earlier, Chu Fengmian didn’t even know how to return to the Nine Domains.
At least now Chu Fengmian has a clear path laid out for him.
"What is the use of this Purple Quercus Divine Fruit?"
Chu Fengmian understood the rarity of the Purple Quercus Divine Fruit, but since it is so precious, it must be valuable.
"It’s very simple. This Purple Quercus Divine Fruit can enable any quasi-emperor to directly achieve the realm of the Heavenly Emperor."
Xing Xuan calmly explained.
"Of course, the benefits of the Purple Quercus Divine Fruit do not end there. To make you understand its value, no major figure would be willing to give such a celestial treasure to a quasi-emperor, not even to their most beloved junior."
"If the Purple Quercus Divine Fruit were to appear, some Seven Tribulations, Eight Tribulations, or even Nine Tribulations Emperors would fight fiercely for it because obtaining it would enhance their realm by at least one level," Xing Xuan said.
"A Treasure so valuable that Seven Tribulations and Eight Tribulations Emperors would fight for it? Enough to make a quasi-emperor directly achieve the Heavenly Emperor realm?"
Hearing Xing Xuan’s description, Chu Fengmian was somewhat stunned.
Seven Tribulations Emperors, Eight Tribulations Emperors—these individuals could easily crush Chu Fengmian right now.
They are undoubtedly major figures capable of crossing the cosmos, quite close to those frighteningly powerful beings of Ancient Times.
Even these major figures would vie for it, yet Chu Fengmian obtained it so effortlessly. No wonder Xing Xuan said Chu Fengmian is lucky.
The Heavenly Peng Emperor must be furious right now, given that such a treasure ended up in Chu Fengmian’s hands.
"How did such an item end up with the Sixth Prince?"
With a claw in the air, Chu Fengmian gathered a golden light into his palm. It was the memory of the Sixth Prince, and after carefully perusing it, Chu Fengmian burst into laughter.
"Timing is everything. This Purple Quercus Divine Fruit was actually given to the Sixth Prince by the Heavenly Peng Emperor to deliver to a major figure. No wonder the Heavenly Peng Emperor became so enraged and was willing to pay any price to kill me."
In the memory of the Sixth Prince, Chu Fengmian understood thoroughly. It was said that the Heavenly Peng Emperor intended to give the Purple Quercus Divine Fruit to a major figure.
Unable to free himself, he entrusted his highly favored Sixth Prince with the task, who was supposed to go to Dragon City to attend a banquet.
The Sixth Prince, upon hearing about the demise of Liu Daojun halfway, went to the Ancient Serpent Empire and subsequently met Chu Fengmian, who killed him.
What a coincidence; even Chu Fengmian didn’t expect that killing a Sixth Prince would yield such a huge benefit.
"The Saint Dragon Secret Realm, good fortune comes in pairs indeed."
A glimmer of delight flashed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes.
According to the memory of the Sixth Prince, the major figure to whom the Heavenly Peng Emperor wanted to deliver the Purple Quercus Divine Fruit was one of the powerhouses in the Saint Dragon Secret Realm.
The banquet the Sixth Prince was supposed to attend was reportedly organized by some disciples from the Saint Dragon Secret Realm.
Chu Fengmian had gone through immense difficulty trying to find information about the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, and finally he encountered a living person.
"I should refine this Purple Quercus Divine Fruit first, then set out for Ten Thousand Dragon City to prepare for this Saint Dragon Banquet."
After some thought, Chu Fengmian made his decision: refine the Purple Quercus Divine Fruit first to prevent any future issues.
By taking the Purple Quercus Divine Fruit, Chu Fengmian would certainly become a thorn in the eyes of the Heavenly Peng Emperor, who would undoubtedly act against him in secret. Only by enhancing his strength could Chu Fengmian protect himself.
