Chapter 6019: The Gap Between Prodigies

“Rest assured. I, Chu Feng, am a present-era cultivator too. I’ll be on your side. Since the Ancient Era’s cultivators have challenged us, it’s only right for us to give them a response. However, we aren’t unreasonable barbarians, so we’ll only go after those who have provoked us.

“I’ll have to trouble you to draw out those who have provoked you, including those who have uttered words of humiliation or laughed in agreement.”

There were around a hundred people, but Chu Feng memorized all their appearances with a glance, including the three red-cloaked juniors. He would be able to recognize them from their clothing details, even if they were to conceal their faces.

“Brother Qin, how strong are they?” Chu Feng asked.

Knowing the enemy’s strength was important too. Chu Feng wasn’t fond of recklessly rushing into things without gathering information beforehand.

“The strongest red-cloaked man is at rank nine Half-God level, whereas the other two, like me, are at rank seven Half-God level. The three of them are the strongest ones among the Ancient Era’s juniors,” Qin Xuan replied.

“Rank nine Half-God level?” Chu Feng was surprised to hear that. “Brother Qin, you’re at rank seven Half-God level?”

“That’s right,” Qin Xuan replied.

Chu Feng was surprised to hear that. It was the sfor Yuwen Yanri too.

All powers were now staking all their resources to nurture their juniors. Given Qin Xuan’s talent, he shouldn’t have advanced so slowly.

“Brother Qin Xuan, didn’t the Heavenly DImmortal Sect give you more cultivation resources?” Yuwen Yanri asked.

He knew that such questions could be sensitive and shouldn’t be asked in public, so he relayed it via voice transmission so that only Chu Feng and Qin Xuan could hear it.

“They didn’t,” Qin Xuan replied.

“Did they not give you more cultivation resources, or do they not intend to focus on nurturing the juniors?” Chu Feng asked.

“Our Heavenly DImmortal Sect has no plans to put more resources into nurturing the juniors. I did hear about other powers skewing their resources toward their juniors after the revelation from God’s Era, but our Heavenly DImmortal Sect has refrained from making that move. I suppose our sectmaster has his considerations,” Qin Xuan said those words out loud with a smile.

The crowd wasn’t surprised. They were already aware of this matter.

However, Chu Feng couldn’t help but think deeper into this matter. He was aware that the Heavenly DImmortal Sect was channeling its cultivation resources toward its headquarters, so it was peculiar that they weren’t using it to nurture their talented juniors.

If so, who were the cultivation resources for? What were they planning?

“Brother Yuwen, what’s your cultivation? You must have obtained the bulk of the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s resources, so I’m guessing that your cultivation should be well above mine now?” Qin Xuan asked aloud.

“I have made sadvancements in my cultivation thanks to the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s aid. I am now at rank one True God level,” Yuwen Yanri replied in public.

He didn’t think that there was a need to conceal such information. Rather, it would boost the reputation of his Divine Body Heavenly Mansion.

“Rank one True God level?”

The crowd was astonished to hear that.

In the past, those who could reach early Half-God level as juniors were considered top prodigies, whereas only a small handful of unbelievably talented cultivators could reach mid Half-God level as a junior.

Yet, Yuwen Yanri reached rank one True God level as a junior. This was huge!

That was a level that those from the older generation had to cultivate for many years before stepping into it. It had been unthinkable in previous generations for anyone to reach such a height as a junior!

“Congratulations, Brother Yuwen!”

Qin Xuan clasped his fist to congratulate Yuwen Yanri, but Chu Feng could still sense a hint of envy in his demeanor. Even though Qin Xuan’s talent was beneath Yuwen Yanri, they, at least, appeared to be on par on the surface.

Yet, the gap between them has widened to an unbelievable level now.

Soon, Qin Xuan turned to Chu Feng and asked, “Brother Chu Feng, what’s your current cultivation level?”

The crowd plunged into silence.

Everyone was curious to know how powerful the strongest junior in the world of cultivation was.

“Rank eight Half-God level, Saint Dragon God-cloak,” Chu Feng replied.

Many looked conflicted upon receiving the answer. To them, it looked like Yuwen Yanri had surpassed Chu Feng.

However, Qin Xuan exclaimed in awe, “Brother Chu Feng’s cultivation speed is impressive. Unlike the rest of us, you don’t have the backing of a galaxy overlord and have to rely on yourself to acquire cultivation resources. I fear that I will never be able to catch up to you in my lifetime.”

Those words enlightened the crowd.

Yuwen Yanri had the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s full backing. That was a behemoth that had dominated a galaxy for many years; it must have built up a strong foundation and stockpiled an unbelievable amount of resources over the years.

In contrast, Chu Feng had no backing whatsoever. While sspeculated that he had an expert behind him, those were just blind guesses.

What was known about his background was that he and his father were from an Upper Realm’s Heavenly Clan in the Ancestral Martial Galaxy, but that Heavenly Clan was weak compared to the world of cultivation’s upper echelon, not to mention that it had vanished. Many thought that Chu Feng had hidden them away to protect them.

Any one of them here could probably easily crush that Heavenly Clan.

Knowing the unfavorable conditions Chu Feng was in, the others felt respect for him too. It was amazing how he was able to grow so much by himself.

Was rank eight Half-God level weak?

It might be when compared to Yuwen Yanri, but it was still a seemingly unattainable level for other prodigies. Many of the prodigies present had the full support of their respective powers too, but they couldn’t even reach Qin Xuan’s height, let alone Chu Feng.

“There’s nothing to fear about those Ancient Era’s bastards now that young master Yuwen and young hero Chu Feng are here. But the ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate has closed, so how can we go after them?”

“Young hero Chu Feng, do you have a solution?”

The crowd turned to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng’s reputation as a prodigy wasn’t based solely on that battle in the Nine Heaven’s Zenith. He had wreaked havoc in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion and bested Jie Tian in the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s remnant.

Even though Yuwen Yanri was stronger now, they still pinned their hopes on Chu Feng when it cto opening the ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate.

“Don’t worry. There is a way to activate the spirit formation gate.”

Chu Feng had been assessing the palace while chatting with the others, and he had already acquired the method to open the ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate. He walked past the crowd and headed straight up to the spirit formation gate.

With a wave of his hand, he constructed a formation and activated it. It didn’t take long for the ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate to be activated.

Delighted and excited exclamations echoed from the crowd.

They hadn’t expected Chu Feng to open the spirit formation gate that had stumbled all of them so easily. Sof those here were talented world spiritists too, and they had tried everything that they could before Chu Feng’s arrival, but it was to no avail.

“Looks like there’s a huge gap between prodigies too,” slamented.
