Chapter 378 Awakened
“He failed? Hua Jun actually failed?”
“This is true. However, according to Hua Jun’s words, even if that person didn’t die, he was still heavily injured!”
Ming Lihua was now even more interested in Zhou Feng. Who exactly was this person? He managed to survive when Hua Jun was his opponent.
Purple Mansion realm versus Divine Ability realm. This was undoubtedly a crushing blow.
But the final result was so unexpected.
Ming Lihua had never doubted Hua Jun’s strength. He was a truly blessed child of the heavens. Having comprehended two divine abilities might not be much in the main headquarters of the Jade Sword Holy Land, but he was considered one of the best in Linxian City. Even so, he still failed.
“Use all your strength to search for traces of this person. If possible, don’t take the initiative to attack. This person is worth roping in.”
Ming Lihua quickly began to mobilize her family’s forces to search for traces of Zhou Feng
Other than the Ming Clan, many other forces were doing the same thing. Ignoring everything else, just hi Celestial Spiritmirror Fish was enough for them to move out together.
This was a heavily injured Purple Mansion cultivator. This was an excellent opportunity to pick up scraps.
It wasn’t just those aristocratic clans. Even some vagabond cultivators were displaying their divine abilities.
Swer
They wanted to find out where Zhou Feng was so that they could pick up scraps.
Unfortunately, Zhou Feng had already used the passive Bloodline Simulation to change his aura.
In addition to the passive Purification of Heaven and Earth, there wouldn’t be any marks left on his body.
Thus, no one found Zhou Feng’s hiding place.
Time passed…
After Zhou Feng and Hua Jun’s battle, half a month had passed.
Zhou Feng’s popularity also slowly faded.
During this period, some people caught the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish. The Xia Clan’s son-in-law selection ceremony was also progressing like wildfire.
Xia Chunqiu, this slightly male-biased name, was actually the name of the Xia Clan’s fairy.
Especially when the Xia Clan publicly announced that their eldest daughter had comprehended the third divine ability, it attracted the attention of all the nearby cultivators.
With such talent, coupled with Xia Chungiu’s appearance, countless cultivators wanted to take this opportunity to ascend to the heavens.
This time, even some of the direct descendants of the large clans couldn’t sit still.
There were always some who didn’t have a good aptitude among the many direct descendants.
For these direct descendants, if they had a fairy as their wife, it wouldn’t be too bad.
In any case, they wouldn’t be able to enjoy the top resources in their clans.
It would be better to marry into the clan.
Xia Chunqiu had already been internally appointed as the Xia Clan’s leader. The husband of the Xia Clan’s leader—this title was much better than a direct descendant who sounded good.
Thus, countless direct descendants who weren’t pampered ended up vying for her hand.
However, there was one thing that was worth noting. Although many people caught the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish, none of them fell into the Xia Clan’s hands.
An invisible alliance monopolized the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish. Even a force like the Xia Clan could not snatch them.
This was also something that many cultivators did not expect.
They even began to ask if there was something special about this Celestial Spiritmirror Fish.
For this reason, the Xia Clan had no choice but to change the conditions for finding a son-in-law.
They simply built a Waterside Pavilion in the middle of the Celestial Lake and set up many obstacles around it.
They invited all the cultivators to this Waterside Pavilion for a martial competition to find a son-in-law.
After going around and around, they finally returned to this primitive method.
No matter what was said, strength was eternal.
If they wanted to take the fairy of the Xia Clan, they still had to rely on strength.
Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Xia Clan also organized an auction at the Waterside Pavilion in the lake.
They invited a group of cultivators to come and bid and auction.
The Xia Clan planned to make a fortune by taking advantage of this opportunity. At the same time, they wanted to increase the reputation of the Xia Clan.
This method was similar to Celestial Lake City.
Because of the Celestial Lake, the cultivators here were relatively rich and had accumulated a lot of good things.
They took advantage of this opportunity to make a move. It was likely that the Xia Clan wouldn’t dare to do anything at such a grand event.
If it was known that the Xia Clan was secretly playing tricks, then the other families could take the opportunity to suppress the Xia Clan ruthlessly.
Also, the Waterside Pavilion wasn’t in Linxian City.
This was a critical point. If the place where the Xia Clan held the auction was in Linxian City, many vagabond cultivators might not dare to take out their items.
“Huh?”
Zhou Feng didn’t know how long he had been asleep.
He had a headache! The intense headache woke him up from his deep sleep.
“I’m…”
He struggled to open his eyes, and then a sense of exhaustion spread throughout his body.
At that moment, bits of memories from before he fell asleep slowly surfaced.
After spending some time, he finally understood what his current situation was.
“I should use the Soul Punch less in the future!”
This Soul Punch consumed too much of his nascent soul’s power.
Until now, his nascent soul had been dim, and he didn’t know how much time it would take to recover.
But fortunately, after paying such a huge price, he finally managed to repel Hua Jun.
Of course, the passive Celestial Forefinger had been a great help. If not for this passive, he wouldn’t have managed to crack Hua Jun’s flying sword. Celestial Forefinger: Your right forefinger will become abnormally strong, with a hint of shattering intent.
That hint of shattering intent was really useful against spiritual artifacts and flying swords. Moreover, it did not waste any energy when activated.
Also, it was sufficiently concealed and very difficult for others to discover it.
However, this Hua Jun was also very strong.
Zhou Feng had used not only his trump card, the Soul Punch, but also used the Celestial Forefinger and other passive skills.
In the end, he fought until both sides suffered heavy losses. “I have to break through to the Divine Ability realm!”
Zhou Feng had already made up his mind to enter seclusion here.
The strength of the Purple Mansion realm wasn’t enough for him to travel freely.
At the very least, he had to be a Divine Ability cultivator to have that bit of confidence. Otherwise, if he met a cultivator who exceeded Hua Jun’s strength, he would still be half dead even if he didn’t die.
Speaking of which, he had been gunning for the Divine Ability realm for a long time.
However, Zhou Feng couldn’t do much. His aptitude was completely inferior to those freaks.
Breaking through to the Divine Ability realm would still waste a lot of time.
“Fortunately! With the help of the spiritual fragrance and Celestial Qi, I should be able to break through soon!”
If he only relied on himself to break through, Zhou Feng would probably need a few more years before he could be confident. But now, with the Whale King fragrance and the Celestial Qi, he was confident that he could break through in a short time.
“Speaking of which, where did Big Yellow go?”
Zhou Feng looked around, but he did not find any traces of Big Yellow.
Then, he directly used the spiritual connection to search for Big Yellow’s location. “Woof!”
As if he had sensed that Zhou Feng had woken up, Big Yellow rushed into the cave, looking extremely excited.
However, Big Yellow’s current appearance was very strange.
Its golden and soft fur had become colorful, and there were some medicinal herbs in his mouth? What was he doing?
