In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and no one had come looking for Chu Feng’s trouble.

Nor did anyone force him to hand over the Treasure Tree.

This left Chu Feng feeling quite surprised.

Logically speaking, with Xuanming and Ouyang Yu, the two Supreme Elders, joining forces to cause problems, it definitely shouldn’t have been all talk no action. They wouldn’t have passed up any opportunity to strike at Chu Feng.

Later, Chu Feng sought out Elder Zi Xu for information and learned that it was the Supreme Lord of Wanfa Sect, his master, who had settled the matter.

It was said that the ordinarily gentle Elder Wanfa had slammed the table in front of many elders of the sect.

He even declared that anyone who dared to harm his disciple would have to deal with him seriously.

This commotion by the Supreme Lord of Wanfa Sect prevented Xuanming and Ouyang Yu from pressing further, and the Sect Master was even less willing to see infighting among the supreme elders of the sect, thus he stepped in to mediate.

This matter that stirred up storms within the sect eventually fizzled out.

"I didn’t expect that my master, who is so gentle and approachable, could also have moments of glaring and slamming the table. It’s my fortune to be able to be a disciple under him," Chu Feng said, feeling moved and somewhat amused after hearing about it.

It seems like the honest appearance of my master in desperation must have been particularly adorable.

It’s worth mentioning that Chu Feng exhibited astonishing strength in Hell Valley, earning the respect of his fellow senior and junior disciples.

Not to mention others, Senior Brother You Hu used to be incredibly arrogant, merely snorting haughtily when greeted by Chu Feng, considering it a response.

The stance he held before Chu Feng could be said to be the epitome of arrogance.

But this time, when Chu Feng returned, You Hu immediately showed a warm and eager smile upon seeing Chu Feng, stepping forward to greet him actively and engaging in a conversation.

Strength earns respect.

All these changes were won by Chu Feng through his own formidable strength.

Now that the trouble was resolved, Chu Feng didn’t waste time and began to cultivate intensely. Aside from mastering swordsmanship, he even consumed Elixirs like candy, smashing his cultivation to the peak of Sword Saint.

Just one more step forward would allow him to break through to the Sword God Realm.

At that point, he would be able to activate numerous magical treasures.

His combat power would definitely multiply several times over. Perhaps, he could even start seeking revenge against Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

Last time, he had obtained the Divine Dragon Wood he had been desperately searching for; his Heavenly Divine Weapon, the Demon Slaying Sword, was also steadily being repaired. Inside it was a Sword Spirit that was a Dragon Soul, which had suffered severe injuries.

To completely recover, it might take some more time.

In the mountains, there are no years; in cultivation, there are no decades.

Before he knew it, five years had passed. Chu Feng’s status in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect became increasingly prominent.

For five consecutive years, he secured the first place on the Earth Rankings.

The second year, there were still challengers who could compete with him, at least managing to fight with him on the stage for a dozen or so rounds.

This year, no one dared to challenge him on the number one stage of the Earth Rankings.

Even against a Three-star Sword God, Chu Feng was a one-move wonder.

In these five years, he devoted every day to rigorous cultivation. The greatest progress was probably in his swordsmanship.

Of the four sword skills he learned, both the Glazed Tile Sword Skill and the Hymn Sword Technique had already reached the Ninth Level. Needless to say, the Glazed Tile Sword Skill had long reached the Ninth Level, condensing a Dharma Bell Sword Soul.

Now it has become even more perfect, and its defensive power has increased a lot.

After reaching the Ninth Level in the Hymn Sword Technique, what condensed was remarkably an Elf Sword Soul. It can double the power of other sword skills. This is truly awesome.

Chu Feng’s Transformation Sword Skill has also reached the Eighth Layer, but he has not yet been able to break through to the Ninth Layer.

Others cultivate for decades, hundreds of years, without reaching the Eighth Layer. It only took him five years to achieve such heights, enough to be proud of himself among many.

Chu Feng also reached the Eighth Layer of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.

The Seventh Layer involves Sword Force, which refers to the utilization of the massive potential of heaven and earth. A single sword strike possesses the might of heaven and earth, as if the cosmos itself aids him.

The Eighth Layer is known as the Reverse Sword or Yin Yang Sword. It goes against the heavens, specifically designed to shatter the enemy’s momentum and aura, capable of breaking the enemy’s Sword Domain. It’s incredibly powerful.

It is precisely because of the Eighth Layer that Chu Feng can effortlessly kill experts at the Three-star Sword God level.

In a confrontation with him, at the swing of his sword, the enemy’s Sword Domain instantly collapses.

Without their Sword Domain, even a mighty Sword God becomes as weak as a chicken in an instant.

The Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, indeed the most top-notch swordsmanship of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, just at the Eighth Layer, is already so formidable. If one could comprehend the Ninth Layer, who knows how monstrous it would be?

Chu Feng can’t help but think of the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

He is someone who has mastered the Ninth Layer of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill. Although he has never seen him in action, his strength must be terrifying to the extreme.

Currently, with Chu Feng’s cultivation, he can break through to the Sword God Realm whenever he wishes.

Heeding the advice of Pu Li, he has been suppressing his cultivation, waiting until both the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill and the Transformation Sword Skill are advanced to the Ninth Layer and the Sword Soul is condensed, before breaking through to the Sword God Realm.

If he is to do it, he must aim to be the strongest and the best.

Over these five years, Chu Feng occasionally took the time to visit the Vermilion Bird Imperial City to deal with some major affairs of the Longevity Hall.

After five years of development, Longevity Hall’s business is booming more than ever, and it now boasts over sixty Pill Masters.

All aspects of its operations have also become very mature.

Chu Feng is already planning on opening branches.

His idea is to spread the branches of Longevity Hall throughout the Four Great Heavenly Kingdoms, ensuring at least one branch in every imperial city of each Heavenly Country.

As for those ordinary empires and kingdoms, Chu Feng does not hold them in high regard.

Longevity Hall has always followed a high-end route.

This day, while Chu Feng was crafting an Eighth Grade Talisman Pill, Pu Li and his son, Pu Fazheng, came to seek an audience.

In five years, Chu Feng has only managed to craft one Eighth Grade Talisman Pill.

And it was his best, the Flame Burst Pill.

It shows just how high the difficulty of crafting an Eighth Grade Talisman Pill is?

Coming out of the Alchemy Room, Chu Feng greeted with a smile, "Greetings, Sect Master!" Although he now holds an extraordinary status within the sect, far surpassing Pu Li, he has always held great respect for Pu Li, Elder Shoumei, Ge Qing, and Hei Dimo.

Never putting on airs.

Compassionate and unforgetful of favors upon rising to prominence – that is the true nature of a real man.

"You’re always so polite every time we meet, it makes me embarrassed. Now, you’re an Inner Sect Disciple of the sect, and just a step away from becoming a Sword God, you will definitely secure a spot as a True Disciple. Let’s be less formal in the future!"

Pu Li said with a smile.

He has seen Chu Feng grow step by step.

Besides having monstrous talents, Chu Feng is also extremely diligent and hard-working, thus continually surpassing other heavenly talents.

"Chu Feng, I’ve come to ask for your help with a matter!" Pu Li said with a smile on his face, while Pu Fazheng behind him seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh, what might that be? As long as Chu Feng can do it, I will not hesitate!" Chu Feng had already guessed a bit.
