Chapter 6024: Priceless Treasure

“Ah...”

Honghun Sanzhang sighed.

“Brother Sanzhang, why do you sound so frustrated when you have already made up your mind?” the other two asked.

“We might have left God’s Era, but our young masters are still inside. With their personalities, I’m worried about what might happen if they encounter Chu Feng,” Honghun Sanzhang said.

“Our young masters are strong enough to deal with Chu Feng. There should be no need to worry about them,” the plump red-cloaked man said.

“That empty token might be useless for now, but there will be a use for them later on. I’m guessing that it is to collect something, possibly energy. Such places differentiate people by their talent and capabilities instead of their current cultivation, or else there’s no need to construct such an elaborate remnant and have an individual entrance for juniors.

“They could have always put the prize at the center and let everyone compete for it, and whoever had the strongest cultivation would walk away with the prize. That would make things so much simpler. Yet, which remnant has done that?” Honghun Sanzhang asked.

“You’re saying that Chu Feng might prove to be a dangerous adversary in the junior entrance? Our young masters might be at a disadvantage against Chu Feng due to the special nature of the remnant despite their superior cultivation?” the average-sized red-cloaked man asked.

The plump red-cloaked man nodded in agreement. “That’s possible. Brother Sanzhang’s analysis made sense.”

“What should we do?”

“Everyone has their fate. We can only hope that the young master won’t cross paths with Chu Feng, and if they do, we can only pray that they will hold back a little,” Honghun Sanzhang said with a sigh.

...

Meanwhile, Chu Feng and the others were exploring the vast realm they had just entered. Its features were identical to most realms in the real world.

Chu Feng had tried looking around for clues, but he couldn’t figure out where to head. The spirit formation gate they had entered via had already closed, so returning where they had cfrom wasn’t an option.

Unless another phenomenon appeared to offer sadvice, he wouldn’t know what to do.

Chu Feng was at a loss.

Weng!

Just then, a spirit formation gate manifested in the distant sky, and twelve figures emerged.

They were juniors from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, but Ling Xiao, Jie Baobao, and Jie Tian weren’t among them.

The spirit formation gate closed after they walked out, and the group of them began examining their surroundings.

Shortly later, another spirit formation gate appeared in the distance, and more juniors emerged.

“This must be a gathering spot. Those who cleared the previous trial will be brought here,” Qin Xuan remarked. He turned to Chu Feng and asked, “Brother Chu Feng, what do you think about my analysis?”

“It makes sense to me. What else do you have?” Chu Feng replied with a chuckle.

“All right.” Qin Xuan continued sharing his analysis in glee. “Those who can reach here are no ordinary individuals. I’m guessing that many people will be eliminated here. The victor might be decided here, but even if that isn’t the case, the endpoint should be close now.”

Qin Xuan turned to Yuwen Yanri and asked, “Brother Yuwen, what do you think about my analysis?”

“That’s a guess, not an analysis,” Yuwen Yanri pointed out.

“Hey!” Qin Xuan turned back to Chu Feng. “Brother Chu Feng, you’re the most discerning one of us three. What do you think of my thoughts?”

“I think it’s good,” Chu Feng replied.

Upon receiving Chu Feng’s answer, Qin Xuan turned back to Yuwen Yanri with his chest puffed up. “Look, Brother Chu Feng has acknowledged me. I, Qin Xuan, have explored many remnants. My deductions don’t just cout of nowhere.”

“Brother Qin Xuan, why don’t you analyze these tokens then?” Chu Feng took out 18 empty tokens and tossed them to Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan took the tokens and assessed them.

“Brother Yuwen, you should take a look too.” Chu Feng took out another 18 empty tokens and passed them to Yuwen Yanri.

Yuwen Yanri examined the empty tokens intently.

“How is it? Can you see anything?” Chu Feng asked.

“There’s a difference between the tokens. These six tokens and these twelve tokens look identical on the surface, but they are different,” Qin Xuan said as he separated the tokens into two piles.

“Those twelve empty tokens are from the palace, whereas those six are from the forest. The six empty tokens from the forest are of much higher quality,” Chu Feng pointed out.

“Brother Chu Feng, what do you think is the use of these tokens?”

“These tokens are containers to collect something, possibly skind of energy. They should be important later on.”

“Sounds right to me.” Qin Xuan nodded before passing the empty tokens back to Chu Feng.

Yuwen Yanri did the stoo.

“What are you doing? Those tokens are for you. Keep them well,” Chu Feng said.

“Brother Chu Feng, this isn’t right. You obtained them...” Yuwen Yanri turned down the gift.

“Stop being so wishy-washy. If you’re going to be so distant, we might as well go on separate paths and stop being friends,” Chu Feng said with a smile.

“Brother Yuwen, you should accept Brother Chu Feng’s gift. We’re already in this remnant, and this trip will be in futility without the empty tokens. We can repay Brother Chu Feng’s favor in the future,” Qin Xuan advised.

“What do you mean by favors? We are comrades! Talking about favor between comrades sounds so distant,” Chu Feng corrected Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan fell silent for a few seconds before asking, “Brother Chu Feng, am I your friend? I don’t mean anything by it, but I didn’t help you with anything at the Nine Heavens’ Zenith, and I even...”

Thinking about what happened then made Qin Xuan lower his head in guilt.

“Friendship is not about maintaining an equilibrium. As long as we’re fine with each other, we can always be friends. And didn’t you say that a fight helps us to know each other better? Were you lying when you said that?” Chu Feng asked.

Qin Xuan quickly waved his hand, saying, “Of course not. I also think of you as a friend. It’s the sfor Brother Yuwen too!”

“Stop being so wishy-washy if you think so. You are Qin Xuan, the Heavenly DImmortal Sect’s strongest prodigy!” Chu Feng said with a chuckle.

Qin Xuan chuckled too. He was moved by Chu Feng’s sentiment.

Even though Chu Feng had treated him well at the Nine Heavens’ Zenith, he thought that he was basking in Wang Qiang and the others’ halo; he was just a convenient addition to the party. Who could have thought that Chu Feng would still treat him well even when Wang Qiang and the others weren’t here?

Despite knowing he was just a burden that wouldn’t contribute much, Chu Feng still decided to bring him along. He even shared the empty tokens, which were likely to be important here.

This meant a lot to him.

He finally understood why Xianhai Shaoyu and the others chose to stand with Chu Feng even though the latter was on bad terms with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

In the world of cultivation, where strength was law and personal interests took priority over everything else, tens of thousands of years of friendship, kinship, and companionship could easily shatter in the face of greed.

Bonds were just so fragile in the face of profits.

However, it was different for Chu Feng. Profits were not that important to him; what he cherished more were the bonds he forged along the way.

Having a friend like Chu Feng like having a priceless treasure.
