Chapter 1513: Strong Alliance

Long Dayu’s eyes were burning. He felt like crying. Not only had he fallen into Ji Dade’s hands, but what did his old sworn brother call the friend of that little rogue? Uncle!

“I…” At that moment, Long Dayu truly wanted to curse. Why was it that every time a beautiful vision, aspiration, and hope emerged in his heart, it was brutally shattered?

Just moments ago, he had been thinking that if his old sworn brother met a relative, he could use their blood ties and kinship to make the man in the moonlight and Ji Dade call him something pleasant.

But now, his old sworn brother had called the other man “Uncle” first. How could he possibly stomach this? If they were talking about seniority, would he also have to call that person and Chu Feng “Uncle”?

“This chaotic life, this bleak seniority… I…” Long Dayu’s mental shadow grew infinitely large. He truly wanted to ask the heavens, “What are you trying to do?!”

He was speechless, choking back words, and didn’t want to say anything at all!

At this moment, the other two mighty beings were also shocked. Their sworn elder brother, the one who had lived through the most ancient times, actually called the man in the sky “Uncle.”

They, too, were in disarray, wondering if an old Ultimate had arrived.

Chu Feng was also silent. What a coincidence to meet a descendant of Old Gu! However, the situation didn’t seem bad; it was interesting. He glanced at the strange dragon, wondering how the seniority would be determined later.

In the sky, Old Gu was also quite shaken. So many years had passed, and a descendant had appeared?!

He was a prehistoric being; logically, it was difficult to encounter anyone from his own era, let alone relatives or old acquaintances he had met back then.

However, he quickly composed himself, becoming even more transcendent, and adopted the demeanor of an enlightened sage, an immortal-like elder.

And so, with the bright moon hanging high, Old Gu, the great cultivator, descended gracefully, as if flying down from the moon, carrying an otherworldly aura, and landed on the ground.

“Who are you? I don’t recall having a descendant like you,” Old Gu asked calmly.

The mighty being kneeling on the ground trembled and said, “I am Qi Feng. When I was very young, I accompanied my grandfather to meet you a few times. My grandfather was Qi Ming, your close friend back then.”

“Qi Ming!” Old Gu fell into distant memories, a sense of melancholy in his heart. He now knew whose descendant this was.

Qi Ming was indeed his friend, who had accompanied him on battlefields in the past, followed Li in campaigns, and was his good brother.

All those people and events from back then instantly resurfaced in Old Gu’s mind, filling him with a mix of bitterness and bewilderment, as many had died, some in battle, and others had simply passed away with the passage of time.

“Where is your grandfather?” Old Gu asked. After Li’s death, Qi Ming had secluded himself with his family because, after that great calamity, people were in a state of panic. Even the one who bore the great banner had died suddenly and disappeared. Who wouldn’t be afraid? All surviving followers had scattered and left.

“My grandfather passed away, perishing in the ancient era,” Qi Feng softly replied. His grandfather hadn’t died from an accident; rather, his lifespan had simply run out. Even for a Heavenly Venerate, enduring from prehistoric times to the ancient era was quite astonishing.

“I remember giving him many great medicines back then, all capable of extending life, but he still didn’t make it to this day,” Old Gu sighed softly, a hint of sadness in his voice.

His former close friend was gone forever, unable to endure until this era. It was regrettable, leaving him feeling helpless and resigned.

Old Gu was lost in thought for a long time, nostalgic and melancholic. How many old acquaintances from back then could he possibly see in this life? Most had probably perished with time!

Then, he looked at Qi Feng. This child had been famous even back then; otherwise, his grandfather wouldn’t have brought him before a group of old friends. His innate bone structure and talent were truly astonishing.

In that era, several old friends had examined his physique and praised him.

He hadn’t expected that after so many years, the child of yesteryear would now be old and frail.

Nevertheless, Old Gu was very pleased that Qi Feng had become a mighty being, significantly stronger than his grandfather, Qi Ming.

“Good child!” Old Gu helped him up, patted his shoulder, and said, “I see you’re somewhat frail. Follow me from now on. I have some potent medicines in my herb garden that can help your vitality flourish again, and perhaps even allow you to attempt to touch the Dao Fruit of a Great Primal!”

“Thank you, Uncle!” Qi Feng was excited.

For him, reaching the Primal Realm and becoming a mighty being was already his limit. While remarkable, he could no longer see any path for further evolution.

Now, this “Uncle” was actually offering to help him advance, which naturally thrilled him. How could a close friend of his own grandfather, a brother of Li, not possess profound capabilities?!

The other two mighty beings were also stunned. At their level, their potential was exhausted, and their vitality was depleted. What more evolution could there be? The path had long been cut off.

Now, someone was going to reconnect the broken path for their old sworn brother?!

“Uncle!” the other two mighty beings also said, respectfully bowing with great sincerity.

Long Dayu saw this scene and felt completely unwell!

He stood frozen, unsure what to say. The helpers he had brought had… “betrayed” him, calling the other man by an honorific. How could he bear it?

What should he do? Should he follow suit and call him “Uncle” too?

The strange dragon couldn’t stand it. What terrible luck to encounter such a vexing situation!

Especially since Ji Dade was still “patting his head” at the moment.

Perhaps a better way to put it was that Chu Feng wasn’t using force; instead, he was gently stroking his head with a benevolent smile.

This made it even worse for him. “You’re so ‘benevolent’—are you trying to become my elder ahead of time?” Long Dayu bristled!

“Xiao Yu, don’t be afraid,” Chu Feng said gently.

Long Dayu was petrified, then almost exploded with rage. Was this directly a demotion for him? “Dayu” had become “Xiao Yu”? He wanted to curse them all!

The “De” generation really wasn’t good news, Long Dayu fumed internally!

But what could he say? He dared not speak his anger. All three of his old sworn brothers were calling Old Gu “Uncle.” Life was simply unlivable!

“You are… a Great Primal level, a true mighty being?!” Qi Feng was shocked, having already discerned what kind of Dao Fruit Old Gu had achieved.

Throughout history, how many mighty beings had achieved the Dao Fruit of a Great Primal? They were incredibly rare, and such beings were terrifyingly powerful!

Most importantly, the vigorous life force Old Gu was exuding was incredibly vibrant, completely unlike what a prehistoric elder should possess. This made Qi Feng’s eyes burn with even greater fervor, and he resolved to follow this “Uncle.”

Old Gu was direct. He introduced Chu Feng, telling them that this was a brother he had befriended in this era.

“Let’s stick to our own terms. I’ll still address you all as seniors!” Chu Feng immediately said, to avoid embarrassing the three mighty beings. These people had lived through extremely ancient times; if they truly had to call him “Little Uncle,” they would probably feel awkward and certainly wouldn’t be willing in their hearts.

Moreover, the three of them had originally come to intercept him.

“Little brother, you truly are extraordinary! You’re already close to the Eternal Venerate Dao Fruit?!” one mighty being exclaimed.

“To be precise, he’s close to the Dual Eternal Venerate Dao Fruit. He can already contend with mighty beings, and even slay them directly!” Old Gu revealed the true situation.

At this moment, the three mighty beings were utterly shaken, barely able to believe it!

An Eternal Venerate was already a myth; few had succeeded throughout history. And this person was actually going to achieve… a Dual Eternal Venerate Dao Fruit?

The most crucial point was that he was still so young!

“Therefore, my brother’s future is destined to be extraordinary, but the process will also be very difficult. He requires mighty-being-level exotic soil for his evolution.”

Old Gu was quite direct, explaining the situation and seeking support from the mighty beings.

The three mighty beings had already shed their hostility. They shared a certain karma and were now considered allies. Besides, facing a formidable individual with a Great Primal Dao Fruit, who would dare to be hostile?

There was no need to overthink it; Old Gu alone could sweep aside multiple mighty beings.

In the eyes of the three powerhouses, both Old Gu and Chu Feng were worth investing in—beings to be revered in the future!

“Unfortunately, the Primal-level exotic soil I accumulated was given to my disciple, but he failed in his evolution and perished,” Qi Feng sighed.

Even for a powerful Heavenly Venerate, achieving the Primal Dao Fruit was incredibly difficult. His disciple was quite brilliant but still perished in the recent ancient times.

However, Qi Feng also stated that he still had more than half a portion of Primal-level exotic soil.

“Good!” Old Gu nodded. Although it wasn’t a full portion, it was still quite good.

The other two mighty beings, thankfully, did not disappoint; they each possessed a portion of Primal-level exotic soil.

In moments, the three mighty beings had given Chu Feng two and a half portions—a truly astonishing gain.

“Xiao Yu, look, let’s keep our own terms. I won’t call you nephew-grandson; we’re still brothers,” Chu Feng said, letting go of Long Dayu. He acted very warmly, patting his shoulder and trying to get closer.

He knew that Long Dayu was richer than those old sworn brothers; the strange dragon had amassed an unknown amount of treasures for this era.

As for the three mighty beings, their path forward was cut off. They had long given up on advancing further and were simply waiting for their end amidst decay, lacking ambition and having accumulated no treasures.

Long Dayu gritted his teeth. “Keeping our own terms, and you still call me Xiao Yu? I really want to beat you to death!”

Just then, Chu Feng suddenly turned to the three mighty beings and said, “I’m a person who clearly distinguishes between favors and grievances. If others are good to me by one point, I’m good to them by ten. Seniors, I have some things here that will be of great use to you.”

He took out three jade boxes. Upon opening them, brilliant golden light burst forth, as if three suns had bloomed, and an incredibly dense life force surged out, astonishingly potent.

Soul Flowers, capable of strengthening decaying souls, effectively extended lifespan.

The three gasped, all showing expressions of shock. This grand gift was incredibly valuable to them; it was precisely the life-extending medicine they needed most.

Long Dayu looked on, surprised. Ji Dade actually had such things? And he was so generous.

Of course, he wasn’t envious. He had even consumed a complete Thirty-Three Heaven Grass back then. Now, he was full of vitality and had such abundant lifespan that he didn’t need these.

“Xiao Yu, do you have any Primal-level exotic soil?” Chu Feng asked with a smile.

“No!” Long Dayu refused flatly.

His three old sworn brothers immediately showed strange expressions. They knew perfectly well that the Great Dragon must have surplus exotic soil; he had prepared far too thoroughly.

“Really? I was hoping to offer you a grand gift, half selling and half giving it away, sigh!” Chu Feng sighed.

In his hand, several jade boxes appeared. When opened, they revealed brilliant fruits. Some were suffused with chaotic energy and had no distinct attributes, while others contained sealed phantoms of celestial dragons!

“These are… Bloodline Fruits?!” Long Dayu’s eyes instantly turned red. He couldn’t tear his gaze away, his eyes almost bulging out. This left him both shocked and yearning.

Qi Feng even gasped in surprise, “These are from Li, the fruits from that ancient tree Li Ancestor obtained back then?”

“To be precise, they later fell into the Mad Martial Artist’s hands. We essentially snatched food from a tiger’s mouth, intercepting them halfway,” Old Gu explained.

Everyone present felt their hearts pound. Bloodline Fruits could purify a being’s bloodline, optimizing and restoring the strongest bloodline within them—an incredibly astonishing effect.

Throughout long ages, many ethnic groups had intermarried, meaning that many beings actually harbored fragments of various bloodlines within them.

If the correct Bloodline Fruit was chosen, it could naturally and dramatically enhance the strongest bloodline, even restoring ancestral blood, a truly unfathomable power.

Long Dayu immediately ceased his sorrow and sense of grievance, instantly changing his attitude. He patted his chest and told Chu Feng that he had two extra portions of Primal-level exotic soil which he could give him!

Mighty-being-level exotic soil, if found in the outside world, would undoubtedly be a priceless treasure, a heavenly artifact. No lineage would exchange it; it was truly a strategic resource.

However, the individuals present were either mighty beings or had sufficient resources. For them, this Primal-level soil simply couldn’t compare to Soul Flowers or Bloodline Fruits.

Moments later, Long Dayu directly bit into a non-attributed Bloodline Fruit. Chaotic energy diffused, and he was incredibly excited and intoxicated.

“So fragrant!” While munching on the fruit, he happily opened his spatial artifact, took out two portions of Primal-level exotic soil, and gave them to Chu Feng.

His three old sworn brothers were speechless. “Weren’t you so stubborn? You compromised so quickly? You actually even exclaimed… ‘So fragrant!’”

“Xiao Yu, we’re still brothers. Back when I was picking the Bloodline Fruits, I was thinking of you, specially setting aside some for you. At that time, I even thought of creating a ‘Four Beauties’ combination,” Chu Feng said.

“Call me Dayu. Let’s not mention the ‘scapegoat’ incident again. From now on, we’re still brothers!” Long Dayu declared with an air of great magnanimity.

In just a moment, several mighty beings had joined forces, forming an incredibly powerful combat unit!

That very night, they set off without delay, heading straight for the cultivation grounds of the three isolated mighty beings of the Yuan Clan, intending to annihilate them all.

It was simply crushing; there would be no suspense!

The moonlit night was soft, its glow like water reflecting the mountains and forests. The group headed straight for the first cultivation ground.

The next moment, before Chu Feng even had to act, Old Gu, as a Great Primal-level powerhouse, directly punched through the mountain gate and charged in first.

The other three mighty beings sealed the void, cutting off all escape routes.

The Yuan Clan’s mighty being couldn’t even send out a distress signal. In a brief instant, he was struck down and killed, his blood staining the cultivation ground.

“Not much of a challenge,” Old Gu said. “I think once we’ve dealt with the isolated Yuan Clan mighty beings, we can choose something more difficult, like the Demon Clan, the Sub-Immortal Clan, the Spirit Clan, and so on.”

“This… indiscriminately starting wars isn’t good. How about this: I think Brother Dade is also getting on in years. How about you and I go together to the Zhou, Ji, and Li clans, among others, and help him find a marriage? We won’t even need to attack their gates for exotic soil. Marrying into one of these top ten ancient races would definitely be a huge gain. They’ll diligently cultivate Brother Dade!” Long Dayu proposed.

His attitude had changed incredibly fast. He was no longer sad or indignant; he had already started offering suggestions.
