Chapter 6232: The Martial Power Formation’s Aura

“There’s nothing to hide. Zhan Haichuan’s feats are a legend in the Hundred Refinement Ordinary Realm, so you should have already heard about them. Needless to say, I am the reason why he possesses such great talent.

“I was severely injured back then. I don’t remember why I was injured and who did that to me, but I was indeed helpless against those ungrateful Ancient Era’s War Clansmen. So, I had no choice but to feign death and preserve a sliver of my soul. It took many years to transfer that sliver out of my carcass using a secret skill.

“But I didn’t have a body then, so what I could do alone was limited. To recover my power, I’ll have to first repair my carcass and fuse it into my main body. That was no easy feat. Fortunately, an opportunity soon presented itself.

“The Ancient Era’s War Clan created a treasure that strengthened one’s bloodline in hopes of tapping into my energy. My strength was limited then, but that treasure was tailored just for me. So, I found a way to seep into that treasure and make it mine. It took 50,000 years to incubate that treasure, and in that time, I gained full control over it.

“However, that treasure can only be used by the Ancient Era’s War Clansmen; I am unable to channel it myself. Thus, I planted a binding contract inside that treasure to slowly alter the minds of those who obtain the treasure and turn them into my puppets. But an incident happened while those fools were channeling the treasure, and the treasure left this formation realm.”

Chu Feng widened his eyes in realization.

50,000 years ago, a brilliant silver light enveloped the Hundred Refinement Ordinary Realm’s sky. A humongous silver spear of inestimable proportions appeared amidst the silver light, almost like a divine weapon that could destroy the entire world.

This weapon descended from the sky as a surge of silver light and landed inside a child’s body. That child was none other than Zhan Haichuan.

It turned out Zhan Haichuan’s talent was Old Cat’s credit.

“That treasure flew to the Ancestral Martial Galaxy and happened to fall into the newly-born Zhan Haichuan’s body?” Chu Feng asked.

“Yes. I thought I had failed until Zhan Haichuan went to the War Clan many years later. Everything went smoothly at the start; Zhan Haichuan successfully returned to the War Clan under my tutelage and obtained the materials I required. We secretly repaired my carcass and strengthened my soul before fusing the two.

“It was easier said than done. We prepared for many years before finally pulling it off. But just as the fusion was about to take place Zhan Haichuan suddenly turned against me because he was afraid I would massacre the War Clan. That was the only chance I had because the energy and treasures all came from me. There is no way to find more once they are depleted, making it nigh impossible to pull it off anymore.

“When I went to the Hundred Refinement Ordinary Realm to look for Zhan Haichuan, I wasn’t coveting his treasure but seeking him for vengeance. I didn’t expect him to be dead because of the injuries the War Clan’s Clan Chief inflicted on him.

“He deserved it, but his death does little to assuage my hatred. So I dug his grave to vent my frustration, but that despicable Zhan Haichuan set up a formation before his death to imprison me. I was only freed later when you arrived.”

Old Cat gritted his teeth in anger.

“Why didn’t you tell me the truth then?” Chu Feng asked.

“Hmph.” Old Cat clicked his tongue. “Do you think I’d trust you after my ordeal with the War Clan and Zhan Haichuan? I’m not going to get bitten by a snake twice.”

Chu Feng thought those words made sense. Anyone who had been through so much wouldn’t easily trust others once more.

“I had already given up on everything, but in the last two years, I suddenly sensed my carcass summoning me. Somehow, I regained connection with my bones. My carcass has regained its powers. It was much stronger than when Zhan Haichuan repaired it, and this reparation is permanent. This should have been impossible, but a miracle happened.

“I sought ways to return here, but I couldn’t breach the War Clan’s formation. It was then you made a name for yourself. I learned you were Jie Ranqing’s son and the most talented world spiritist in the present era. However, you were too elusive for me to track down, so I eventually gave up on that. I returned to Zhenlong’s remnant to see if I could find anything there.

“You can figure out what happened next. Zhenlong was still alive, and he made a breakthrough to Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist. I thought it was heaven’s will. What were the odds stumbling upon a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist just like that? Knowing this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I kneeled and told everything to Zhenlong, hoping my sincerity would move him.

“Little did I expect him to be moved by my sincerity. He came here to help me. You know what happened afterward,” Old Cat said.

Chu Feng fell into deep thought,

Old Cat thought Chu Feng didn’t believe him, so he added, “Brother Chu Feng, you can ask Zhenlong if you don’t believe me. Everything I said is the truth.”

“Old Cat, you have changed,” Chu Feng said.

“Changed? How so?” Old Cat asked.

“The way you address Lord Zhenlong changed. I bet you previously called him Lord Zhenlong. Fusing with your bones might not have fully restored your cultivation, but it must have partially restored your bloodline. You’re no longer the scared Old Cat now but an indomitable Ancient Era’s saint beast, so you stopped calling him Lord Zhenlong and instead addressed him directly by name.

“Similarly, you’re calling me Brother Chu Feng because you need my help, but you’ll go back to calling me Little Feng once things are over, right?” Chu Feng asked.

“Do I seem like that kind of person? I’m only saying that because we’re close! I’ll still address Zhenlong as ‘Lord Zhenlong’ when I meet him again. I might be more senior than even your ancestors, and Zhenlong is indeed unworthy of me addressing him as ‘Lord Zhenlong’, but I’ll never forget the favor I owe you two.”

Perhaps to show their close ties, Old Cat even levitated up and grabbed Chu Feng’s shoulders with his cat paws.

“Fine, I’ll give it a try.”

Chu Feng had been observing this martial power formation all this while and had already devised a method to decipher it. He swiftly constructed a formation, and it only took him moments to decipher the martial power formation.

“Chu Feng, you are too humble. Look, you succeeded in a single try! You live up to your reputation as Jie Ranqing’s son!” Old Cat lavished compliments on Chu Feng.

But Chu Feng fell into a daze.

A palm-sized metal tool emerged from the dissipated martial power formation. Inside the metal tool was a stronger martial power formation. To top it off, Chu Feng sensed a familiar aura from it.

It was his father’s aura.

“Damn.”

Chu Feng realized something.
