Chapter 6010: I Treat You As a Friend, But You Want To Be My Father-in-law?

Old Song closed his eyes and swiftly changed his hand seals.

The ten talisman humans leaped into the water at the same time as if having received an order. In just an instant, all of them vanished from view.

Boom!

Soon, the calm lake erupted like a volcano. A huge pillar of water gushed into the sky amidst rippling shockwaves.

Sensing something was amiss, Old Song quickly retreated with Chu Feng and Eighth Zhao while terminating his connection with the ten talisman humans. Even so, he was still a step too late, evident from how he spurted blood.

He staggered a bit when landing on the ground and ended up falling.

“Elder!”

Chu Feng and Eighth Zhao rushed forward to support him, but Old Song waved his hand to gesture that he was fine. He gulped down a few pills before sitting down with crossed legs to recuperate.

Chu Feng noticed that the pill Old Song ate contained bloodline power too, and it was a different bloodline power from what was in the jade bottle.

“Elder Song is injured. We don't have the means to help him, so the least we can do is let him recuperate in peace,” Eighth Zhao said as he pulled Chu Feng aside. “A strong monstrous beast must be lurking in the lake, or else Elder Song wouldn’t have sustained such injuries. What do you think, young friend Chu Feng?”

“I agree with you.”

Chu Feng was rendered speechless.

Isn’t that obvious? There’s no need to point that out.

“I think there might be another way out. You stay here and guard Elder Song. I’ll take a look around.”

Eighth Zhao wanted to rise into the air and search for more clues, but the recuperating Old Song suddenly spoke up, “This place is dangerous. You shouldn’t move around on your own accord. We should explore the area together after I recover.”

Old Song’s eyes remained closed, and his aura was a little withered.

“Elder, will the entity inside the lake come out to hurt us?” Eighth Zhao asked.

Old Song didn’t reply, a sign that he didn’t want to exert his strength to speak if possible. This showed just how severe his injuries were despite him saying that he was fine.

However, Chu Feng didn’t think this was a bad thing, as he thought that Old Song was a dangerous individual too. Whether Old Song was from the Ancient Era or not, there was no doubt that he had ventured into unorthodox means. He must have taken many innocent lives.

In fact, he thought that Old Song was stopping Eighth Zhao from leaving because he thought that it would be a waste to let Eighth Zhao die here. He probably wanted to refine Eighth Zhao into blood essence too.

Chu Feng was in danger as well. He had inherited the Ruler’s Bloodline and acquired the Genesis Bloodline. Even ordinary cultivators desired what he had, let alone unorthodox cultivators.

The more Chu Feng thought about it, the more scared he was.

I need to find a way to escape from this old man as soon as possible.

Chu Feng made use of the time while Old Song was recuperating to look around, and he soon found a clue on the sword mountain peak. The cracks and the pictures on the cliff face could be arranged to form runes, which provided a clue upon deciphering.

And it was not difficult to see through that.

Even Eighth Zhao quickly noticed it too, but instead of secretly examining it as Chu Feng did, he grabbed Chu Feng’s arm and pointed to the sword mountain peak, saying, “Young friend Chu Feng, there’s a clue on that mountain peak. Let’s take a look together.”

“All right.” Chu Feng nodded.

Moments later, Eighth Zhao’s face turned pale. “It’s over. That lake is the only exit. Doesn’t that mean that we’re doomed?”

Chu Feng continued studying the runes, not saying a word.

Eighth Zhao didn’t decipher the runes wrongly—they did indicate that the lake was the only exit. However, that was the superficial clue on the sword mountain peak.

There was a second clue that indicated the way out of the realm, as well as a third one. These clues were deeply hidden, but it didn’t take long for Chu Feng to decipher them.

To his shock, the third clue was about the final power inside God’s Era.

Those who wished to obtain the final power of God’s Era had to first activate an item before the next step would be revealed. Until the item was activated, everything would be in vain. It would still be possible to obtain other treasures here, but the final power would be out of reach.

However, the clue didn’t detail what the item was. It only stated that the item was at the entrance of God’s Era.

This baffled Chu Feng. He had examined the spirit formation gate and the teleportation passageway, and he was confident that he didn’t miss anything. Yet, he didn’t notice any treasures.

“Could the entrance refer not to the spirit formation gate in the Seven Realms Galaxy but to the lake? Or is it hidden inside this realm?”

Chu Feng thought that if the item was in this realm, it was most likely hidden in the lake. Fortuitous encounters came hand in hand with danger, and the danger inside the lake was beyond even a Heavenly God’s means to deal with.

However, he thought the likeliest place of all was still in the junior entrance.

This prompted him to change his mind. He wanted to leave this place and re-enter via the junior entrance.

It didn’t take him long to grasp the formation to leave this place. He would be able to leave as long as he finished constructing the formation. He knew he couldn’t construct it on the surface; it had to be done inside his body, so it was much more time-consuming.

While he was secretly constructing the formation while pretending to look around, he suddenly smelled something fragrant.

Eighth Zhao had appeared beside Chu Feng, and he took out a roasted chicken from his Cosmos Sack. The roasted chicken had been properly stored, and it was giving off a terrific fragrance.

Eighth Zhao tore off the drumstick and passed it to Chu Feng. “Young friend Chu Feng, you should have a bite while looking around. You won’t feel tired that way.”

“Thank you, elder.”

Chu Feng accepted the drumstick and took a bite. It was delicious.

“Elder, did you make it?”

“No, my daughter made it. How does it taste?” Eighth Zhao asked.

“It’s delicious. Your daughter is an incredible chef,” Chu Feng replied.

“Right? Young friend Chu Feng, my daughter is a talented cultivator and an excellent chef. She’s amazingly beautiful as well. It’s just that she’s too fierce, so I fear that she’ll struggle to find a man. Haaa!”

At this point, Eighth Zhao suddenly turned to Chu Feng with glowing eyes and said, “Why don’t I introduce my daughter to you?”

“Elder, that won’t do. I see you as a friend, but you want to become my father-in-law?” Chu Feng subtly turned Eighth Zhao down with a joking voice.

However, Eighth Zhao burst into laughter and said, “What’s wrong with that? I’m old enough to be your father-in-law. The important thing is that you two are a match for each other!”

Seeing how serious Eighth Zhao was, Chu Feng quickly clarified, “Elder, that won’t do. I have a wife.”

“I don’t see a problem. You can just part with her,” Eighth Zhao replied.
