Chapter 6613: Cultivation
“If I had this secret skill, I could have killed Xian Yu’er and Chu Feng at the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s ancestral land and ended this mess. Milord, I know that you have once consulted Lord Netherworld Master about this secret skill, and you know how to minimize the risks of practicing this secret skill. I promise that I won’t use this secret skill unless necessary,” Xiahou Jue said.
“Practicing this secret skill still poses significant risk even if you use Lord Netherworld Master’s method. Otherwise, we would have propagated it to all Netherworld Sectmembers. A secret skill to bring down one’s opponent along with oneself during a crucial moment is a powerful weapon and deterrent,” Baili Xukong replied.
“Milord, please grant my wish.” Xiahou Jue kowtowed.
Baili Xukong could tell that Xiahou Jue had already made up his mind and that he would secretly practice the secret skill despite his disapproval. Rather than let Xiahou Jue fumble by himself, he would rather guide him along to maximize his chances of survival.
“Haa, fine. Since you insist on practicing it, I want you to make a promise to me,” Baili Xukong finally relented.
“Please speak, milord,” Xiahou Jue said.
“You can only resort to the secret skill if you’re faced with a powerful enemy or a quandary beyond your ability to solve, and you’re unable to escape. If there is even a sliver of hope that you may survive, you are not to use it,” Baili Xukong said.
“Yes, milord.” Xiahou Jue nodded vehemently.
“Also, I’ll be watching you while you practice the secret skill. If anything goes awry, I’ll step in right away and stop you, even if it means destroying a portion of your cultivation.”
Xiahou Jue’s eyes lit up with delight despite the risks. “Yes, milord!”

Meanwhile, Chu Feng was still busy plundering in the Seven Realms Galaxy. He had reunited with the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild’s leader and the lunatic, as promised.
There were some differences in the God’s Era’s power fragments that had entered the Seven Realms Galaxy. Chu Feng had previously directed the lunatic and the guild leader to the realms where the power fragments could be more easily extracted.
As for the remaining power fragments, they were not necessarily any more potent than the ones they had obtained thus far, but the difficulty in extracting them was much higher.
The guild leader and the lunatic were unable to extract them despite using the method Chu Feng had imparted to them.
They weren’t the only ones who had reunited with Chu Feng.
Jie Nianqing’s previous subordinates had also joined forces with him. They numbered in the hundred thousands, and all of them had already resolved themselves not to interfere in Chu Feng’s vengeance against the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Some of the more extreme ones even aided him.
This showed how loyal they were to Jie Nianqing, or else they wouldn’t have turned against the entire Seven Realms Sacred Mansion over her.
These people had been previously augmented by Jie Tianran, so they weren’t weak.
There were at least tens of thousands of pinnacle True Dragon World Spiritists and a large handful of rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists. They had contributed significantly to the extraction of power fragments.
Of course, Chu Feng hadn’t just been busy extracting power fragments. He had also been making good his declaration by massacring anyone who appeared before him in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s robes.
The massive influx of origin energies harvested from the massacred led to the swift growth of his Asura World Spirit Army. The Asura King and some of his subordinates had already reached rank nine True God level.
The Asura King had been the first one to reach rank nine True God level, but the accumulation required to reach Heavenly God was so great that his subordinates caught up to him. That said, there was no doubt that the Asura King would be the first to make a breakthrough eventually.
And it wouldn’t be long before that day came, given the rate at which Chu Feng was feeding origin energies into the mysterious formation gate.
At present, Chu Feng and the others were making their way to another realm, but Ling Xiao and several others looked uneasy. They had seen the Netherworld Sect’s declaration of war against Chu Feng, and they knew how powerful the Netherworld Sect was.
Even so, not a single person backed down. From the moment they defected to Chu Feng’s side, they were already prepared to die.
“Chu Feng, did Jie Tianran request help from the Netherworld Sect?” the guild leader asked.
“Probably. The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion should have gathered some intelligence about us in the meantime and learned about Yu’er’s strength. Since their Saint-tier elders have their hands full dealing with other matters elsewhere, the next best alternative is for them to request help from the Netherworld Sect.
“We have to tread carefully from now on. Make sure to remain within my line of sight. It’s possible that the Netherworld Sect has already prepared an ambush in one of the realms and is waiting to catch us,” Chu Feng said.
“The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion might have harvested more of God’s Era’s power fragments than us, but we have also claimed a considerable amount. There aren't many power fragments left, and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion is bound to concentrate their forces on the remaining places. Why don’t we just give up on the remaining power fragments and reunite with the others at the Ancestral Martial Galaxy?” the guild leader suggested.
Chu Feng’s group had also been gathering intelligence.
They knew that the Dragon Breath Clan and the others, who had been stationed in the Ancestral Martial Spiritist Sect’s main city, had begun launching attacks against the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion upon learning about Chu Feng’s declaration of war.
“I recently noticed something. The power fragments that are more difficult to extract are more likely to contain pieces of information. I have already obtained some of them, but I’m still not sure what these pieces of information are hinting at. I’m guessing they are related to God’s Era’s two remaining powers.
“If I can gather more information pieces, I might get an advantage when it comes to acquiring the other two powers. Worst comes to worst, I’ll use my hidden card to bring us to safety,” Chu Feng said.
“I see. Then we have to proceed no matter the danger,” the guild leader said.
“We’ll heed young master Chu Feng’s will,” Ling Xiao’s grandfather and the others said.
...
Meanwhile, Xiahou Jue sat in the middle of Baili Xukong’s palace with closed eyes, while Baili Xukong watched him with nervous eyes.
