Chapter 6665: Seeking Refuge
“Chu Feng, don’t heap so much stress on yourself. Lord Jie Shanxian and my injuries have nothing to do with you. It’s all Jie Tianran’s doing. Cultivators are bound to encounter crises along the way. It’s already a miracle in itself that we are still alive now, and that is all thanks to you,” Daoist Starseizer said.
Jie Shanxian added with a confident smile, “Chu Feng, I have faith that you can restore our spirit power one day, but there is no need to rush it. Make sure to remain safe. We are counting on you.”
“Mm.” Chu Feng nodded.
He looked at his aunt and Jie Baobao, who were still sleeping. As much as he trusted his judgment, he couldn’t help but harbor a seed of doubt until they woke up.
Fortunately, his aunt woke up not long later.
“Tiannian, Chu Feng has reconstructed your bloodline using God’s Era’s powers. You should be able to cultivate now. Quick, give it a try,” Jie Shanxian said.
Jie Tiannian was taken aback, but she quickly inspected her own body and attempted to cultivate. She realized that there was a brand-new bloodline within her. Not only was it stronger than before, but it was also perfectly compatible with her.
With the deep insights she had accumulated over many years, she would surely be able to cultivate many times faster than before. This good news thrilled her so much that she even wept tears of joy.
She was ultimately a world spiritist prodigy. How could she not care about her spirit power? She felt like she had just been given a new lease on life.
“Chu Feng, how can I ever thank you?” Jie Tiannian looked at Chu Feng with teary eyes.
“You’re my aunt. I’m just doing what I should. Since you’re able to cultivate now, these should be useful to you.” Chu Feng took out a Cosmos Sack and handed it to his aunt.
It contained many cultivation resources, as well as the God’s Era’s powers for cultivation and recovery.
Jie Tiannian was taken aback. Her tears had barely stopped when they began flowing once more as if someone had opened their flood gates. She sensed Chu Feng’s concern for her in the Cosmos Sack. These were invaluable treasures.
Even Jie Tianran hadn’t been so generous to her back when he was nurturing her.
She felt a surge of familial warmth from Chu Feng, especially since she hadn’t been particularly close to Chu Feng before.
“Don’t cry, aunt.” Chu Feng felt his heart clench up.
Others might think Jie Tiannian had lived a privileged life, being born into a powerful clan and possessing exceptional talent, but in truth, she had lived like a puppet. Jie Tianran treated her like a pawn, controlling everything about her life, including her marriage. He even crippled her spirit power and attempted to kill her.
Her life hadn’t been easy at all.
Despite being respected by others, she didn’t have many friends. More often than not, others approached her with ulterior motives. It was rare for anyone to treat her with earnest sincerity. That was why she cried when she felt Chu Feng’s genuine concern for her.
And that was also why Chu Feng felt bad for her.
“I’m fine, Chu Feng. I’m just happy. I’m glad that Ranqing had a good son like you. I’m glad to have a nephew like you. People often say that we should have sons care for us when we’re old. My son was unreliable, but I was able to bask in Ranqing’s halo,” Jie Tiannian said.
“Don’t say that, aunt. Jie Tian has merely been misled by Jie Tianran. He isn’t a bad person at heart. At the very least, he cares about you. If not for him, I wouldn’t have been able to save you back then,” Chu Feng replied.
He used to look down on Jie Tian, but his impression of Jie Tian changed when the latter activated a forbidden skill to stall Jie Tianran to buy time for Chu Feng to rescue Jie Tiannian.
His words brought Jie Tiannian back to that day. Using that forbidden skill had caused Jie Tian’s soul to crack.
“Chu Feng, is Tian’er still alive?” Jie Tiannian anxiously asked.
Such severe injuries should have resulted in Jie Tian’s death, but Chu Feng learned that Jie Tian was still alive and had gone into closed-door training. At the very least, there was no news about Jie Tian’s death from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.
“Jie Tianran is a beast, but he wields exceptional means. I’m inclined to think that Jie Tian is alive,” Chu Feng replied.
Jie Tiannian’s face brightened up. No matter what, Jie Tian was still her son. There was no way she wouldn’t care about him.
Besides, Jie Tian was not irredeemable. His willingness to sacrifice himself to save her had touched her heart. She hoped that he was well and that someday they would be able to reunite.
“Wuuu~” another voice echoed.
Jie Baobao had awoken.
Chu Feng rushed over. Jie Tiannian, Jie Shanxian, and Daoist Starseizer followed suit.
“Chu Feng?”
Jie Baobao was surprised to see Chu Feng, as she had thought that she was dead.
“How are you feeling?” Chu Feng asked gently.
“A-am I still alive?” Jie Baobao asked in uncertainty, not daring to believe that she was still alive.
“Silly lass. You’re definitely alive, but you might have to cultivate again from the start. However, you don’t have to worry too much. Chu Feng has reconstructed your bloodline. It’ll take time for you to reach your previous level, but you’ll surely surpass your past self,” Jie Shanxian said.
Jie Baobao belatedly noticed the three people standing beside her.
“Lord Jie Shanxian? Lord Jie Tiannian? Lord Starseizer?”
Jie Baobao hurriedly got up and bowed to the trio.
“There’s no need for formalities. Get up. You don’t know how worried Chu Feng was while you were unconscious,” Jie Tiannian said as she pulled Jie Baobao back to her feet.
“Am I really still alive?” Jie Baobao asked.
“If you’re dead, doesn’t that mean that we’re dead as well?” Jie Shanxian asked.
“That’s not what I mean. I-I...” Jie Baobao hurriedly replied.
The realization that she was alive only heaped greater stress on her. These three people were legends to her, particularly Jie Shanxian, who was an old ancestor of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.
“You don’t need to be so nervous. We aren’t in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. From this day on, you’re just our junior,” Jie Shanxian said.
It took Jie Baobao a while to come to terms with the fact that she was still alive. However, this news didn’t console her. Instead, she felt embarrassed.
“Chu Feng, about what I said that day...” Jie Baobao stuttered, not daring to look at Chu Feng.
“It’s not important. All that matters is that you’re safe and sound.” Chu Feng patted Jie Baobao’s shoulder.
His tender gesture calmed down the tense Jie Baobao. She nodded obediently.
Chu Feng quickly shared the news with Ling Xiao and the others and urged them to head over to accompany her.
Moments later, he received a report. Ling Sheng’er had come to join him.
