"Why must we go to the Path of Immortality?" Ling Feng said in a deep voice: "Uncle, we already have enough strength to protect Earth now. Even against Immortal Realm experts from other planes, we are not without a chance!"

Pangu smiled and said: "Ling Feng, I know you’ve done a lot of preparations over the years and have built quite an influence, but... until we unravel the secrets of the Path of Immortality, our homeland won’t achieve true freedom!"

"However, fortunately, you have grown to a level that astonishes me. With you here, Earth’s safety is more assured. That way, I can venture to the Path of Immortality without worries!" Pangu said with a smile, "Ling Feng, you should know better than anyone how important a peak combat power is to a plane!"

Ling Feng was silent, hearing a note of determination in Pangu’s words. He knew he couldn’t persuade Pangu anymore.

"Ling Feng, come here, I have something to tell you in private!" Pangu said, dismissing the others, and spoke to Ling Feng in a deep voice: "Ling Feng, I’m entrusting the White Star Organization to you. It’s a daunting task, because my initial purpose was to use the power of the White Star Organization to protect Earth. But then I discovered the life within the Ancient Ruins couldn’t leave, and I was determined to research how to break free from its constraints!"

"Unfortunately, I never found a perfect solution, but I hope that with the Chaos Supreme Treasure, you can use its power to bring the White Star Organization’s people out and have them stationed on Earth, thus adding another layer of security."

Ling Feng nodded: "I will!"

Pangu smiled again: "Actually, my journey to the Path of Immortality has another important reason, which is to find that guy Xuanyuan. He’s been on the Path of Immortality for ten thousand years and hasn’t come back. I think if I don’t bring him out, he might die of old age in there, and that would be too embarrassing."

"Alright, I won’t say much more. Now that you’re back, I can venture onto the Path of Immortality with peace of mind. As for the future development and direction of the White Star Organization, I leave it entirely to you," Pangu said, patting Ling Feng on the shoulder.

Ling Feng gave a solemn nod.

"Oh, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you!" Pangu said to Ling Feng with a playful wink: "It seems your little sweetheart has comprehended something from the Wordless Heavenly Scripture and has been in seclusion for many days now."

Ling Feng chuckled bitterly: "Uncle, what are you saying? Minxue and I are very pure in our relationship!"

"I understand!" Pangu said: "But you might want to be a little less pure. Cheng Minxue is a good girl, and a man shouldn’t let a girl who likes him end up in tears, don’t you think?"

...

After a private discussion, Pangu handed over the position of Sect Master of the White Star Organization to Ling Feng. The Four Great Hall Masters did not object, as Ling Feng’s current strength was no less than Pangu’s, making him the top expert in the White Star Organization.

Moreover, Ling Feng had saved their lives in the Ghostly Ruins, so they naturally had no objections to him.

Once Pangu entrusted the White Star Organization to Ling Feng, he quietly left. Ling Feng knew Pangu had gone to the Path of Immortality, and could not help but feel a surge of sadness.

The Path of Immortality, reaching its peak leads to the Immortal Realm! Yet, over the years, countless breathtakingly gifted super experts have set foot on the Path of Immortality, but few have achieved the Immortal Realm!

Even the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor, the Leader of Earth Huaxia, has been trapped on the Path of Immortality for ten thousand years without any news!

Pangu’s journey, like the Holy Emperor, might result in being trapped on the Path of Immortality.

But it’s his choice, his obsession. Ling Feng, although disagreeing, cannot stop him, because Ling Feng knows that Pangu is willing to venture to the Path of Immortality because he trusts in Ling Feng, believes Ling Feng can shoulder the responsibility of protecting Earth!

"I won’t let you down!" Ling Feng silently vowed.

Having just taken over the White Star Organization, Ling Feng has many tasks ahead. But the most important one is to use the Chaos Supreme Treasure to safely bring the experts of the White Star Organization out of the Ancient Ruins.

If that doesn’t work, everything will be in vain.

So, Ling Feng touched the tower mark on his forehead, and the Tower Spirit Prophet appeared before him: "Ling Feng, is there something you need?"

"How are you feeling now?" Ling Feng asked, knowing the Tower Spirit had previously mentioned needing some time to rest.

The Tower Spirit smiled: "I’ve recovered well. What’s going on? I assume you wouldn’t actively reach out unless it was important?"

Ling Feng nodded: "Prophet, I want to know if I can use the Chaos Supreme Treasure to take people out of the Ancient Ruins?"

Ling Feng had thought it would not be too difficult a task, as the Tower Spirit had previously sent You Ruo and others out of the Ancient Ruins.

Unexpectedly, the Tower Spirit frowned, making Ling Feng’s heart sink.

"Ling Feng, I do have the ability to take people out of the Ancient Ruins!" the Tower Spirit said in a deep voice after a moment.

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, hearing a different tone in the Tower Spirit’s voice.

"But my ability is not limitless!" the Tower Spirit sighed, "Were I in peak condition, I could easily take everyone from the White Star Organization, but I’m now severely damaged, which drastically reduces my power, and taking them would require much more effort!"

Ling Feng asked: "How many people can you take at most?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Three thousand people!" the Tower Spirit said: "With my current capability, I can only take three thousand people. Any more, and it’s beyond my capacity!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but frown—a mere three thousand was far too few when the White Star Organization counted tens of thousands, not to mention the Cheng family members he couldn’t abandon.

Seeing Ling Feng’s troubled expression, the Tower Spirit smiled: "Ling Feng, you don’t realize the treasure you have!"

"Huh?" Ling Feng was puzzled, not understanding the Tower Spirit’s meaning.

The Tower Spirit said: "You possess the Dragon Clan’s treasure, the Thousand Dragon Disk. You could absolutely use it to take people out!"

Ling Feng was shocked: "The Thousand Dragon Disk can take people out of the Ancient Ruins? Is that true?"

"As the master of the Thousand Dragon Disk, do you not know?" the Tower Spirit asked, a bit curious.

Ling Feng chuckled bitterly and shook his head: "Though I’m the master, the Thousand Dragon Disk holds many secrets, and... its Artifact Spirit has never shown up. I even suspect it might be displeased with me."
