Chapter 6243: Even a Powerful Dragon Can’t Suppress the Local Snake
Purple flowers could be seen on the barrier’s outskirts. They were the Purpledream Ascensions that Jie Shanxian previously mentioned.
However, they were sparsely scattered around, suggesting that someone had already harvested more than half of them.
But Chu Feng was more focused on the words ‘Seven Realms Immortal Sect’.
“Seven Realms Immortal Sect? I remember there being a Seven Realms Immortal Pavilion among the Ancient Era’s races who previously attacked the Ancestral Martial Galaxy. Does that mean there is also a Seven Realms Immortal Hall, Seven Realms Immortal Mansion, Seven Realms Immortal Gate, and Seven Realms Immortal Sect? Wow, is the ultimate goal of all world spiritists to be the master of the Seven Realms? Hahaha!” Eggy teased.
Chu Feng turned to Jie Shanxian and asked, “Elder, have you heard of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect?”
“I haven’t, but it’s evident from the name that the Ancient Era’s race occupying this place are world spiritists. The gate wasn’t here before. They must have emerged from their seclusion. Furthermore, the Purpledream Ascensions left behind are all inferior products. They must have taken the good ones. We can’t look down on this Seven Realms Immortal Sect,” Jie Shanxian looked at the remaining purple flowers with regretful eyes.
Those words enlightened Chu Feng to why the Seven Realms Immortal Sect had only harvested half of the Purpledream Ascensions. It turned out the remaining ones were inferior products.
“But it seems possible to assimilate them,” Chu Feng approached one of the Purpledreams Ascensions and examined it before remarking.
“It’s possible, but I don’t know whether someone owns those flowers. Chu Feng, the Seven Realms Immortal Sect doesn’t seem to be a pushover, so it’ll be best to keep a low profile here. I’ll ask them for permission. If there’s no response, I’ll go ahead and assimilate the flowers. If they reply negatively, we’ll give up on the flowers.
“Remember, not even a powerful dragon can suppress a local snake. No matter how awful their words are, you mustn’t take it to heart. We aren’t here to cause trouble, all right?” Jie Shanxian instructed.“Rest assured, elder. My skin is thick. I can bear being insulted, though I am vindictive as well. Should they insult me, I’ll get back at them if a chance arises in the future,” Chu Feng replied.
Jie Shanxian chuckled at those words. She walked up to the gate, bowed respectfully, and spoke aloud, “I am Shan Jie, an unaffiliated world spiritist. I came here for the Purpledream Ascensions after hearing they are rare cultivation resources, but I don’t know if they belong to anyone.”
There was an answer from the gate.
“These Purpledream Ascensions are planted by our Seven Realms Immortal Sect, but we left them outside for others to harvest them. Feel free to assimilate them if you have the means to. My only fear is that you don’t have the means to do so and instead fall for their poison. I’ll say it right now—your only fate is death if you fall for the poison. We won’t save you.”
The person who replied was a woman. Even though she allowed them to assimilate the purple flowers, her voice was filled with disdain.
“All right.” Jie Shanxian didn’t thank the woman, and she didn’t look as respectful as before too.
Chu Feng could tell she was angry.
Jie Shanxian sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, “Chu Feng, don’t bother displaying your world spiritist bloodline. I can assimilate these inferior products by myself. You just have to wait for me by the side. I won’t take long.”
Chu Feng obediently stood by the side.
Jie Shanxian channeled a secret skill that enveloped all the Purpledream Ascensions with her spirit power. She didn’t hold back, so Chu Feng could tell how formidable her secret skill was.
“I told you that Purpledream Ascensions are poisonous, but instead of treading carefully, you choose to assimilate all of them. You must be tired of living,” the woman’s voice echoed from the gate.
Her eyes were not as sharp as Chu Feng; she couldn’t tell how formidable Jie Shanxian’s secret skill was.
“Ignorant people like to court their doom. Pay her no heed,” an old man’s voice echoed from the gate.
“Indeed. It’s a common problem among ignorant people to be greedy despite their incompetence. Forget it, she can die all she wants,” the woman sneered.
Her words sounded more like a reprimand rather than out of concern.
“These Ancient Era’s races are annoying,” Eggy snorted even though those people weren’t talking about Chu Feng.
Chu Feng had his eyes on Jie Shanxian. He noticed the change in her complexion, and her anger was beginning to surface.
The woman and old man inside the gate soon fell silent.
Jie Shanxian had revealed her prowess as a rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist, and under the effects of her secret skill, the purple flowers turned into auras that converged to her.
“Elder, you’re assimilating the flowers too quickly. Do you want to consider feigning being poisoned by the Purpledream Ascensions?” Chu Feng asked via voice transmission.
He was worried that Jie Shanxian would cause a huge commotion. Even though the Seven Realms Immortal Sect had said that they could freely assimilate the flowers, they might get greedy after seeing Jie Shanxian’s secret skill.
“It’s just a mere Seven Realms Immortal Sect; what’s there to fear? I’ll show them my prowess,” Jie Shanxian replied Chu Feng via voice transmission.
Chu Feng was right. Jie Shanxian had gotten caught up in her anger after hearing the woman’s contemptuous attitude.
“Elder… didn’t you say that a powerful dragon can’t suppress a local snake? We aren’t here to stir trouble,” Chu Feng advised.
“Stop talking! The likes of them can’t even be considered a snake. Let’s see what they can do about me even if I stir trouble,” Jie Shanxian scoffed.
“Why is this Jie Shanxian so brainless? You’re saying this for her own good, yet she’s putting you down.” Eggy was displeased by Jie Shanxian’s disrespectful attitude.
But Chu Feng didn’t lose his temper. He turned to Eggy and said, “Milady Queen, you’re right. Elder Jie Shanxian, despite her age, seems to have an innocent personality. She’s usually fine, but her rationality erodes as soon as she gets angry.”
It was frustrating, though it made her look adorable too.
Humans tended to become sharper with age; the more they went through, the more lessons they learned. Wisdom naturally followed.
It was rare for people to retain their original personality even after so many years like Jie Shanxian.
Soon, Jie Shanxian forged all the Purpledream Ascensions into a single pill. With the pill in hand, she turned to the gate and said, “I guess that’s all to the Purpledream Ascensions. Plant more higher-quality, poisonous ones next time. It isn’t much of a challenge otherwise.”
She chose to provoke the Seven Realms Immortal Sect.
After saying those words, she immediately left with Chu Feng, not giving the other party a chance to retort.
“Elder, should we disguise ourselves again?” Chu Feng asked.
“Why? Do you fear them? They can come after us if they dare. I’d like to see what right their Seven Realms Immortal Sect has to plagiarize our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s name! You aren’t allowed to change your face either. Don’t worry, I’ll back you up if anything happens!” Jie Shanxian said with a warning tone.
Chu Feng felt helpless. He felt like she was the junior between the two of them instead, but he could only reply, “I’ll listen to you.”
