Chapter 146: Chapter 146: The Miraculous Mysterious Stone
"Yes, it was a young man."
The clan members nodded repeatedly and said, "I heard he has the early stage of the Golden Core realm and possesses Ice Attribute Spiritual Power."
"Early Stage of Golden Core? Ice Attribute?" Xiang Wentian’s face changed drastically again, and the image of Gu Chenfeng instantly appeared in his mind.
That’s right!
Xiang Wentian’s first thought was Gu Chenfeng.
Because, apart from Gu Chenfeng, there was no second Ice Attribute Cultivator in the Celestial Fire Kingdom, nor had he ever heard of any young man reaching the Golden Core realm.
Gu Chenfeng also went to the Martial King’s Mansion.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
"What is he doing at the Martial King’s Mansion?"
"Of course, to destroy the Martial King’s Mansion."
Xiang Wentian recalled his previous conversation with Gu Chenfeng.
"Could he not be joking?" Xiang Wentian was horrified, "Did he really kill the Martial King? Is it possible for Gu Chenfeng to slay a Nascent Soul Stage?"
"With the early stage of the Golden Core realm, can he slay the Martial King? How is this possible?" Xiang Yan listened, stunned, utterly disbelieving.
"Ice Attribute? Young man?" The Great Elder frowned his old brows slightly, as if he had thought of something, guessing, "Could it be Brother Gu?"
"Brother Gu?" Xiang Yan was initially dazed and then shocked, "Brother Gu is also at the early stage of the Golden Core and has Ice Attribute Spiritual Power. It might really be him!"
"It must be him! There’s no mistaking it!" Xiang Wentian was very sure, "In Celestial Fire Kingdom, he is the only one with the Ice Attribute. Gu Chenfeng mentioned before that he was going to destroy the Martial King’s Mansion; at the time, I thought he was joking, but it turns out it was true."
After hearing Xiang Wentian’s words, Xiang Yan and the elders became even more certain that the young man was indeed Gu Chenfeng.
After all, there was indeed no other Ice Attribute Cultivator in the Celestial Fire Kingdom.
An elder was extremely shocked and said, "It’s truly unimaginable how formidable Brother Gu’s strength is."
The clan members respectfully said, "Clan Leader, according to those who reported, the entire Martial King’s Mansion was frozen over, not a single person spared. The Ice Attribute’s chill is terrifying, spreading throughout Martial King City."
"Not a single person spared?" Xiang Yan and Xiang Wentian were both drenched in cold sweat from shock.
The entire Martial King’s Mansion was frozen over—how terrifying must that Ice Attribute be?
"Gu Chenfeng is really ruthless, isn’t he?" Xiang Wentian exclaimed in terror, "What kind of grudge is this? Did the Martial King’s Mansion kill his whole family? Or did Mu Qingyun steal his wife?"
"When I first met him, it wasn’t in the Martial King’s Mansion, and he even asked me where the Ancient Divine Sect was. I couldn’t see any trace of hatred."
"Um... Clan Leader, the Martial King is dead, and the Martial King’s Mansion has collapsed. Do we still need to leave Celestial Wave City?" The Clan Leader hesitated for a moment and asked respectfully.
"No need." Xiang Yan shook his head and said, "The Martial King is dead, and old Huo and the others have been slain by Brother Gu. There’s no one left who can threaten our Xiang Family."
"Since we don’t need to leave Celestial Wave City, can we go to Martial King City to take a look?" the Clan Leader quickly asked, feeling incredibly curious.
"Let’s go! Let’s go! I also want to see what kind of commotion Gu Chenfeng caused; maybe he’s still in Martial King City!" Xiang Wentian said excitedly, and dashed out of the hall.
"Young Master, wait for me." The Clan Leader quickly followed out.
"Hurry up, there must be a lot of people heading to Martial King City now. If we’re late, we won’t see anything," Xiang Wentian shouted without looking back.
Watching Xiang Wentian’s departing figure, Xiang Yan frowned and said, "This Gu Chenfeng is no ordinary person. In all my years in Celestial Fire Kingdom, I’ve never heard of anyone at the Golden Core stage being able to slay someone at the Nascent Soul Stage."
The Great Elder shook his head with a wry smile, "Not to mention slaying someone at the Golden Core stage, even the peak of the Golden Core late stage cannot contend with the Nascent Soul Stage. Gu Chenfeng is indeed extraordinary."
"It’s Young Master’s fortune to know such a talented individual, and it’s also a blessing for our Xiang Family. It will definitely benefit us in the future."
"The Great Elder speaks truly," the Second Elder said with a cheerful smile, "Without Gu Chenfeng’s help, our Xiang Family would have been destroyed. Such a talented person will definitely achieve greatness in the future."
"Perhaps, in the future, we may need Gu Chenfeng’s assistance to help us return..."
The Second Elder had not finished speaking.
Xiang Yan gestured for him to stop and then said solemnly, "Let’s wait until Tian’Er has awakened. If he can’t awaken, nothing we say matters."
At this point, all three elders fell silent.
...
"Whoosh!"
A white streak of lightning streaked across the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
That white lightning was none other than Gu Chenfeng.
At this moment.
Gu Chenfeng was seated on a mysterious black stone slab, healing.
The black stone slab had been given to him by Tianjizi from Clouds Beyond Heaven, capable of changing its form at will.
To be safe, Gu Chenfeng was quickly leaving the Celestial Fire Kingdom.
The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect had decisively left, and Gu Chenfeng guessed they were going back to summon reinforcements. If he didn’t leave now, when would he?
No matter how strong Gu Chenfeng was, he couldn’t hope to contend with experts of the Soul Emergence and Integration Stages from the Heavenly Dao Sect.
This much, he was self-aware.
The Heavenly Dao Sect didn’t know that Gu Chenfeng was a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect, so finding him wouldn’t be so easy.
"So many years have passed; I wonder how the Medicine God Hall is doing, and if anyone still remembers me." Gu Chenfeng said to himself, feeling a bit of anticipation.
After leaving the Celestial Fire Kingdom, Gu Chenfeng quickly flew toward the Medicine God Hall.
The Medicine God Hall was located on the Ancient Celestial Mountain in the southern part of the Cultivation Realm, known as the most ancient mountain range in the Cultivation Realm, where ordinary people dared not enter.
At his current speed, it would take Gu Chenfeng at least three days to reach the Ancient Celestial Mountain.
"The Medicine God Hall at the Ancient Celestial Mountain is quite far. It’d be nice to have a spirit ship for comfort," Gu Chenfeng said with a bitter smile, "I’d better find a teleportation array. Before heading to the Medicine God Hall, I need to make a stop to retrieve my things."
But just as Gu Chenfeng finished speaking.
The black stone slab he was seated on suddenly emitted a black light.
The next moment.
Under Gu Chenfeng’s astonished gaze, the black stone slab rapidly transformed.
In no time, the black stone slab had turned into a massive and mighty black spirit ship.
This scene left Gu Chenfeng stunned.
Even in the Divine Realm, after nine cycles of transformation, Gu Chenfeng had never seen such a miraculous stone.
Gu Chenfeng exclaimed in shock, "What kind of stone is this, capable of transforming into such a large spirit ship! If I get the chance, I must visit Clouds Beyond Heaven; perhaps I’ll find an Ancient Magical Treasure."
"Whoosh!"
The colossal and formidable black spirit ship suddenly accelerated, turning into a black lightning bolt, speeding off with incredible speed.
"This terrifying speed rivals that of the Soul Emergence Stage!" Gu Chenfeng was overjoyed beyond measure.
It was just an offhand comment, but to his surprise, the mysterious stone understood human speech and transformed into a spirit ship.
"With such astonishing speed, there’s no need for a teleportation array. Little Black, quickly head to the Southern Observation Wilderness!"
