Chapter 6239: Qin Jiu’s Bamboo Boat

With Jie Shanxian’s help, Chu Feng quickly broke free of the formation. Jie Shanxian proceeded to bring him somewhere safe.

Chu Feng pulled Jie Shanxian out of his formation realm.

Jie Shanxian was in a terrible condition. Cold sweat flowed profusely from her forehead. She had become so frail that even her concealment means had been dispelled, revealing her true face.

This was caused by the token inscribed with the words ‘Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’ she held. The token was from the present era, but it harnessed an old aura Chu Feng had never seen in anyone else in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

Thanks to this token, Jie Shanxian was able to save Chu Feng from the formation when even Old Cat had his hands tied. However, she paid a heavy price invoking the token, resulting in her current weakness.

“I’m fine.” Jie Shanxian had already gulped down her pills, so she rejected Chu Feng’s.

Sitting crossed legs in space, she took out an incense stick emanating the Ancient Era’s aura and lit it with a hand seal. The smoke rising from the incense stick flowed into Jie Shanxian’s nose, healing her.

“Woah, she has a lot of valuable treasures. The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion must have looted plenty of treasures back then,” Eggy remarked.

Jie Shanxian was severely injured, which also showed just how valuable the incense stick was.

Chu Feng looked at the ghastly pale Jie Shanxian and her trembling hand as it held the incense stick. It made his heart ache. She wouldn’t have landed in this state if not to save him.

“Elder, I don’t know how to thank you,” Chu Feng sighed.

Jie Shanxian suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him. “I would still have been trapped if not for you. Now that I have saved you, we are equals. But again, if not for me, you would have never entered the Ancient Era’s War Clan, met that Ancient Era’s saint beast, and obtained the Ancient Era’s War Clan’s secret skills. In that regard, you owe me more.

“How about this? You shall accompany me to retrieve an item that will recover some of my cultivation, and we will call it quits. What do you think?” Jie Shanxian asked.

“Sure.” Chu Feng accepted the offer.

Jie Shanxian’s decision to expend herself to rescue Chu Feng from the formation proved that she was trustworthy. It showed that she had her moral compass and wasn’t blindly loyal to her clan.

To the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, her actions were tantamount to a betrayal. It was a crime that would have warranted her death. Very few people would be willing to go against their clans like that.

For that reason, Chu Feng was grateful to her.

Jie Shanxian brought out a five-meter-long bamboo boat with a fling of her sleeves. This bamboo boat emanated the Ancient Era’s aura and harnessed tremendous spirit power, leaving no question it was a formidable treasure.

Shoosh!

A bamboo scroll and a map flew toward Chu Feng.

“I’ll leave the traveling since I need to treat my injuries. You may control the boat with the bamboo scroll. This boat can travel at a speed on par with teleportation formations, so you can head there directly,” Jie Shanxian said.

Her words affirmed how incredible the bamboo boat was.

Chu Feng was taken aback when he received the bamboo scroll and map.

There was nothing special about the map; it was an ordinary map indicating the location Jie Shanxian wanted him to head to. The bamboo scroll, however, emanated an aura identical to the bamboo boat, and inscribed on it were the words ‘Qin Jiu’.

“This boat is Qin Jiu’s treasure?” Eggy was startled.

“No wonder it felt familiar,” Chu Feng remarked.

On second thought, the formation on the bamboo boat felt weirdly familiar—it was designed with Qin Jiu’s flair.

Jie Shanxian noticed Chu Feng staring at the words ‘Qin Jiu’ and commented, “It looks like you know about the World Spiritist Emperor.”

“The World Spiritist Emperor’s name is Qin Jiu. He was the strongest world spiritist in the Ancient Era. I have indeed heard about him,” Chu Feng replied.

“Let’s get moving,” Jie Shanxian said as she flitted onto the bamboo boat, sat down, and continued meditating to recuperate from her injuries.

Chu Feng needed some time to channel the bamboo boat via the bamboo scroll, but once the bamboo boat was fully activated, its speed was even more exaggerated than how Jie Shanxian had described it.

While it was not as fast as traveling via the Nine Heavens Secret Domain, it had the benefit of being able to travel at incredible speeds without having to enter a teleportation formation. It was truly an amazing treasure.

“Woah, it’s able to move so quickly without entering a teleportation formation! It is good stuff indeed!” Even Eggy was impressed.

“Lord Qin Jiu is formidable,” Chu Feng complimented.

This bamboo boat shattered his common sense about what was possible with treasures.

“Chu Feng, tell me more about your grudge with that Jie Tianran,” Jie Shanxian said.

Chu Feng had previously told Jie Shanxian a summarized account of the circumstances surrounding his mother and his grudge against Jie Tianran without going into the details. Now that Jie Shanxian was asking for more details, he didn’t hesitate to share more since he didn’t think he was at fault.

“Do you know why I left the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion then?” Jie Shanxian asked.

“Does it have anything to do with Jie Tianran?” Chu Feng asked.

“You’re a smart one. Yes, it has something to do with him. Back then, an incredible prodigy had just appeared in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion—Jie Tianran. Everyone in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion harbored high expectations of him, which led to him being nurtured as the next mansion master.

“But I was not fond of him. From a young age, he has already displayed a willingness to resort to unscrupulous means to achieve his goals. I didn’t think it would be a good thing for him to take over the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. However, I didn’t have the means to overrule the decision of others, so I chose to leave.

“I have to admit he is a capable person. I have not met him for many years and don’t know how strong he currently is, but just from the protective formation itself, I can tell he is now extremely powerful. If what you said is true, I can only say that your opponent is a very dangerous one,” Jie Shanxian said.
