Chapter 5983: A Place Where Chu Feng’s Mother Can’t Enter
“You brat! You are actually this formidable?” Xia Xingchen’s eyes lit up in delight.
However, Huahua s.n.a.t.c.hed the formation sphere back and said, “Something must have gone wrong. We’ll do it again.”
Xia Xinghen quickly interjected, “Huahua, you can’t do that. As an elder, the least you should do is to keep your promises.”
“It’s fine, elder. We can do it as many times as you like.” Chu Feng was fearless.
Huahua quickly reverted the formation sphere to its original state before pa.s.sing it to Chu Feng once more. She glared at him as she said, “I’ll be keeping a close eye on you this time.”
“Look well, elder,” Chu Feng said with a smile.
He grabbed the formation sphere with both hands, just as he did before, but this time, he deliberately slowed down the deciphering process. Thus, Huahua and Xia Xingchen saw that the spirit power he emanated wasn’t just pure spirit power; it was a formation.
Chu Feng had pre-constructed a formation inside his body using the Initiate Tome to decipher the formation sphere.
The formation sphere unraveled this time too.
“Have you deciphered this formation before?” Huahua asked.
“It’s my second time,” Chu Feng replied.
“When was the first time? Who taught you?”
“No one taught me.”
“That’s impossible. Someone of your spirit power can’t possibly breach this formation with your strength! Tell me, who taught you this method?”
“The first time I breached this formation was earlier when you pa.s.sed the formation sphere to me for the first time.”
“I... I don’t believe you!”
“Elder, I’ll be honest. I have means that allow me to decipher formations above my spirit power. I can’t put its power to full use on the battlefield, but if it’s deciphering a remnant’s formation, I believe I can be of help to you with sufficient time,” Chu Feng replied.
“All right, Huahua. Regardless of whether you believe Chu Feng or not, he did decipher your formation under your watch. You need to keep your promise,” Xia Xingchen said.
Huahua was still skeptical about Chu Feng, but she admitted defeat and said, “Fine, you can come with us, but I’ll make things clear first. I don’t expect you to help me; all I ask for you is not to get in my way. You are to strictly follow my instructions.”
“No problem,” Chu Feng agreed with a smile.
With that, Chu Feng, Xia Xingchen, and Huahua boarded a flying s.h.i.+p and swiftly made their way to the remnant. This flying s.h.i.+p was fast not just in ordinary s.p.a.ce but inside teleportation pa.s.sageways too.
Xia Xingchen spent most of her time chatting with Huahua, possibly to put in a good word for Chu Feng. The two of them spoke via voice transmission, so Chu Feng had no idea what they were talking about, but it seemed to be a pleasant chat judging from their occasional laughter.
Chu Feng didn’t idle around either. He sat down on the deck and began studying the other formations in Heaven Tome.
While Initiate Tome was formidable, it took too much time to construct that it was not practical to use it in a battle. Thus, he had to grasp the other formations in Heaven Tome too.
“Brat, are you training?” a voice echoed.
Chu Feng opened his eyes and saw Xia Xingchen’s beautiful face. She was bending down from a standing position to meet Chu Feng at eye level, and her face was very close to his.
Chu Feng had to concede that Xia Xingchen was gorgeous; her face, her physique, and her disposition were top-notch, and she had a likable personality as well. No wonder the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s Sectmaster l.u.s.ted over her.
“I’m just taking a rest. Elder, do you need me for something?” Chu Feng asked.
“You brat. Can’t I have a casual chat with you?” Xia Xingchen sat down in front of Chu Feng and scooted closer to him, only stopping when their legs touched. “Aren’t you curious to know what kind of remnant we’re heading to?”
“I’m not curious. I’m just here to help out anyway,” Chu Feng replied.
Huahua, who was steering the flying s.h.i.+p not far away, harrumphed. “You speak as if you have been through countless remnants. That’s a remnant that even your mother failed to clear.”
Xia Xingchen nodded. “Elder Huahua is right. Your mother couldn"t clear that remnant. The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion was helpless there. The experts in the earlier years of the present era, including those from the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect, couldn"t clear the remnant either. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been intact till now.”
“Oh? What’s its origin?” Chu Feng asked.
“No one knows. We don’t know what’s inside either. However, we address it as the Mobile Palace,” Xia Xingchen said.
“Mobile Palace?” Chu Feng’s interest was piqued.
“That’s right. The remnant exists in the form of an ancient palace, but the palace moves on its own accord. It disappears now and then, and no one knows where it’ll appear next. There have been attempts to bind it with formations and leave imprints on it, but those don’t work. There’s no way to restrict or track its movements.
“It has been many years since its last disappearance, and Huahua was lucky to have found the most recent location of the Mobile Palace. So, don’t you think you should thank me? If not for me, Huahua wouldn’t have brought you along,” Xia Xingchen said.
“Thank you, elder,” Chu Feng said. “Not even my mother was able to reach the innermost area of the remnant?”
“It’s not just that. No one has ever been able to enter the remnant before this, but Huahua and I managed to do it. This is the first time it has ever happened in history, but we had to turn back because of you. Do you get why Huahua was so angry now?”
“I understand.” Chu Feng nodded.
However, he couldn’t help but wonder how Huahua and Xia Xingchen managed to enter the remnant when so many experts had failed before them. It was not to say that Huahua and Xia Xingchen were weak, but they weren’t the strongest in their generation.
How did they succeed when people more formidable than them had failed?
“Now that I have told you everything I know about the remnant, it’s time for you to share your stories. Are those rumors about you real?” Xia Xingchen suddenly grabbed Chu Feng’s arm and asked.
“Elder, what have you heard?” Chu Feng asked.
Xia Xingchen told Chu Feng everything she had heard, and Chu Feng answered her questions one by one. Some of the details were exaggerated, but he didn’t deny his accomplishments.
“Brat, you’re incredible! Your accomplishments and growth speed surpa.s.s even your mother when she was your age. I knew that you were meant for great things the first time I saw you, but I didn’t expect you to be this overpowered!”
Xia Xingchen wasn’t stingy with her compliments at all. She was considered a powerhouse herself, yet she was acting like a young lady before Chu Feng. Her gleaming eyes were filled with admiration.
