Chapter 5372: The Peculiar Response of the Sculpture

The juniors of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion turned their attention over when they saw Jie Yu arriving together with Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing. Some of them were surprised, but most of them expressed their hostility.

Miss Shenger, Ive brought the person whom you have requested here, Jie Yu said.

The juniors of the Ling Clan and the Jie Clan were standing separately. After Jie Yu escorted Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing to Ling Shengers side, he went to stand together with the other juniors of the Jie Clan.

This young master over here is Chu Feng?

Ling Moer cast her gaze on Chu Feng. Clearly, she had already heard about Chu Feng.

Chu Feng, this is my older sister, Ling Moer. Well be entering the Ancient Palace together, Ling Shenger said.

Chu Feng pays respect to Miss Ling Moer, Chu Feng politely greeted her.

Its my pleasure to meet young master Chu Feng, Ling Moer replied with a courteous smile.

The other juniors of the Ling Clan were perplexed. They couldnt understand why their two lofty young misses were being so courteous to an outsider, but they dared not to question them.

Jie Yu, who are they? someone from the Jie Clan asked.

They are the guests of our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Miss Shenger invited Chu Feng to participate in the Ancient Palace in view of his outstanding talents, Jie Yu said.

What? How can an outsider be worthy of entering the Ancient Palace together with us?

The Jie Clan was shocked when they heard those words, but they only voiced their dissatisfaction amongst themselves. None of them dared to step forward to confront Ling Shenger.

Young misses, I have an unreasonable request to make, Chu Feng said.

Feel free to speak, young master Chu Feng, Ling Moer replied with a smile.

She seemed a lot more amicable than Ling Shenger.

This is my brother, Bai Yunqing. Hes the disciple of the Totem Dragon Clans First Guest Elder. Were on extremely close terms, so Im thinking of

Before Chu Feng could finish his words, Ling Moer had already interjected, Young master Chu Feng wishes to bring young master Bai together with us?

Yes. May I know if its possible? Chu Feng asked.

Of course it is. Ling Moer nodded.

Bai Yunqing and Chu Feng were delighted to hear that. Jie Yu was also surprised, not expecting Ling Moer to accede to such a request.

That wont do! a man from the Jie Clan suddenly spoke up. It was a junior who possessed the strength of a Blue Dragon God-cloak World Spiritist.

Do I need your permission to invite a friend in? Ling Shenger asked with cold eyes.

The other party was intimidated by Ling Shenger, which prompted him to turn his gaze toward Ling Moer instead. Miss Moer, you should know that its against the rules to allow an outsider into the Ancient Palace.

The man spoke in a calm tone that suggested that it was a negotiation rather than a criticism.

I have already spoken to Lord Shuang Yu about this matter. She says that its fine as long as the others are fine with it. Do you have any problems with this? Ling Moer replied with equal politeness as if she was willing to negotiate this matter.

Her politeness only emboldened the opposition.

I have a problem with that! We cant allow an outsider to enter the forbidden land of our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion! The man turned to the other juniors of the Jie Clan and asked, What do the rest of you think?

Thats right! We dont agree too!

Some juniors agreed with the man. There was only a small number of them, but it brought a frown to Ling Moers face.

What are you arguing about here?

It was then that a few more people descended from the sky. The leader of the group was at Purple Dragon God-cloak whereas the others were at Blue Dragon God-cloak.

Jie Yu sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing, saying, Hes Jie Zhou.

Young master Jie Zhou, you arrived just on time! Miss Moer and Miss Shenger have invited an outsider into the Ancient Palace.

A couple of juniors from the Jie Clan immediately stepped forward to explain the situation to Jie Zhou.

Surprisingly, Jie Zhou didnt react vehemently upon learning about the situation. Instead, he stepped forward with a smile and said, I am Jie Zhou. Its a pleasure to meet Brother Chu and Brother Bai.

Jie Zhou was actually taking the initiative to greet Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing!

Chu Feng returned the greeting too.

Following that, Jie Zhou turned to Ling Moer and Ling Shenger and said, Since they are your guests, our Jie Clan have no qualms about this matter.

The faces of those who had opposed Chu Feng and Bai Yunqings entry to the Ancient Palace turned awful, but none of them dared to say a word about it. This showed how much influence Jie Zhou had here.

In truth, there were many people from the Ling Clan who opposed it too, but they didnt dare to say a word, especially now that the Jie Clan had given in too.

It looks like the prophesied child isnt a bad person, Bai Yunqing told Chu Feng via voice transmission.

He was overjoyed. In truth, he didnt bear too much expectation about entering the Ancient Palace since he understood the implications here.

It does look like hes a good person for the time being, Chu Feng replied with a smile.

Ling Moer and Jie Zhou took out a stone key each and slotted it into the sculpture in front of the Ancient Palace. They twisted their keys, and a brilliant light glowed from the sculpture. Slowly, a formation surfaced and enveloped Jie Zhou and Ling Moer.

The sculpture opened its mouth and two containers resembling a teapot flew out and floated toward Jie Zhou and Ling Moer. There was a slight difference in their containersLing Moers container was made out of silver, whereas Jie Zhous container was made out of gold.

Be it in terms of the material or the luster, Jie Zhous container was clearly of a higher quality.

The others stepped forward to do the same.

Ling Shenger received a golden container too, but its luster paled in comparison to Jie Zhous. However, Chu Feng keenly noticed that there was a disruption in Ling Shengers aura when she stepped into the formation, though the others didnt seem to have noticed it.

That girl intentionally sabotaged her own result, or else she would have received a better container, Chu Feng said.

Oh? Why is she doing that? Eggy asked.

I dont know either.

Should I try to conceal my ability too?

For what? Youre here to teach the juniors of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion their place. Not only must you not conceal your ability, but you must also actively flaunt it. Worse comes to worst, well just flee from here. You still have your Divine Deer to fall back on, right? Eggy said.

All right, Ill listen to you, Chu Feng said.

He wanted to conceal his own strength so as to not draw unnecessary attention, but he thought that Eggys words made sense too. Thus, he decided to go with her.

Jie Yu entered the formation too and received a copper container. It was a decent result, considering that most people received a mere iron container. Some of them even got an ordinary ceramic container without the slightest luster.

Once the others had received their containers, it was finally Chu Fengs and Bai Yunqings turn. They had the lowest priority here as outsiders, but it didnt dampen their excitement at all. They knew that the better the containers were, the better the cultivation resources they could store, and they were curious to know what kind of container they could receive.

Boom!

When they stepped into the formation, the sculpture trembled a little. This tremble surprised the crowd, especially Jie Zhou. A sliver of worry flashed across his eyes.

A few moments later, the sculpture opened its mouth and released a silver container, which floated toward Bai Yunqing.

Theres only one container? Does that mean that Chu Feng is unqualified to enter the Ancient Palace?

The crowd discussed amongst themselves.

Even Ling Shenger and Yao Luo were confused too. It was hard to believe that someone who was talented enough to awaken the Life Crystal as and when he wished would be unqualified to enter the Ancient Palace.

But again, there was no reason for the sculpture to release only one container now when it usually released two at once.

Heh

No one said a word, but contemptuous laughter could be heard from both the Jie Clan and the Ling Clan. They didnt want Chu Feng to enter the Ancient Palace in the first place, and such an outcome was what they desired.

At the same time, Jie Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief.

Weng!

A blinding light suddenly poured out of the sculptures mouth, then a whiff of black aura gushed out. It was a black container.

Despite its unusual appearance, the container looked nigh indestructible. It was hard to tell what material it was made of, and it didnt have a luster either. However, the black aura shrouding the container hinted that it was a treasure.

Right after the container emerged, the sculpture turned to look at Chu Feng and asked, Whats your name?

This sight shocked the crowd. They couldnt believe what they were seeing.

I am Chu Feng, Chu Feng replied.

Two beams of golden light shot out from the sculptures eyes to inscribe something on the black container. Upon closer examination, the inscription formed the words Chu Feng. Only then did the black container float to Chu Fengs side.

The crowd was dumbfounded, including Ling Moer.

Only Ling Shenger and Yao Luo were able to remain relatively calm, but they could hardly conceal their delight too. It was not unheard of for the sculpture to bestow a black container, speak, and inscribe a persons name on the container, but it had only happened once before.

And that was when Lord Jie Ranqing challenged the Ancient Tower and reached the final floor.

Young miss, Chu Feng sure is formidable, Yao Luo said.

Why else would I invite him? Ling Shenger replied in glee.

In contrast, Jie Zhou no longer looked as amicable as before. As much as he tried to conceal it, he couldnt hide his awful complexion. His body was also shaking ever so slightly.
