188: Poking the protagonist's nest

Chu Feng, who had just finished his baptism, received a System notification, and question marks naturally popped up in his mind.

Who is this Ji Xianzi? A female?

What Opportunity of hers did I intercept?

Is this Destiny Value and treasure box a bit too much?

He had previously snatched Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s Golden Finger little gourd, causing tons of damage to Floating Slaughter Sword Master, and even with the critical strike charm, it was only a little over five million Destiny Value.

This Ji Xianzi, for no reason, had her Opportunity intercepted, and she was cut for ten million Destiny Value.

This is a full one hundred gu yan points! And ten High Grade heavenly mandate treasure chests!

Without a doubt, Ji Xianzi is an absolutely powerful Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, the kind that even Gu Yan Wudi and Xuan Wei Floating Slaughter Sword Master combined wouldn't be enough to fight her.

The Hongmeng Divine Alliance is truly a place where Dragons hide and tigers crouch.

I am indeed a weak and pitiful villain.

Chu Feng’s heart stirred slightly.

The incident happened suddenly, but with his wisdom, after a brief shock, he quickly reacted.

The purple Qi baptism just now felt a bit off.

If it was just a mere purple Qi baptism, how could it intercept the Opportunity of a powerful Heavenly Mandate Protagonist?

Clearly, that baptism had a problem.

Where was the problem?

Chu Feng’s eyes flashed, and he saw a fiery red phantom suspended in the distant sky.

“Welcome to the Hongmeng Divine Alliance.”

“Wudi Gu Yan? This honorific title is quite interesting, it gives me a feeling of very strong Luck.”

Seeing that the baptism had ended, the fiery red figure flashed over, her voice ethereal, and as her thought landed, her honorific title was displayed—Red Flame.

Chu Feng recognized the other party’s identity at a glance, and he slowly said, “Thank you for the baptism just now.”

Red smiled faintly, understanding, “No need, it was just a small effort.”

“I am now considered your guide. The higher your Rank in the Hongmeng Divine Alliance in the future, the more benefits I can obtain.”

She asked with some anticipation, “Have you become an Immortal Emperor?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng honestly replied, “No.”

Red frowned: “That shouldn’t be, this baptism is very strong, enough for you to give birth to an emperor source.”

“Can one become an Immortal Emperor with an emperor source?”

Chu Feng was not familiar with this aspect.

He had previously studied the Divine-Grade Cultivation Techniques he possessed.

The descriptions were surprisingly consistent—Immortal Emperor Realm, can be broken with a flick of a finger.

Red nodded: “That’s right, for Immortal Kings of the Great World, promotion is very difficult.”

“But in reality, as long as there is an emperor source and sufficient foundation, it’s very easy to advance to Immortal Emperor.”

Chu Feng understood.

The fundamental reason why Immortal Emperors are difficult to advance is actually limited by the world Rank.

The Great World has no emperor source, no matter how hard one Cultivates, there is no way to Break through the upper limit.

In the Supreme Realm, emperor source is not difficult to obtain, so Immortal Emperors can be achieved.

So, he asked the Soul-searching question: “What is an emperor source?”

Red was stunned: “You’re already a Quasi Immortal Emperor, and you don’t know what an emperor source is??”

Chu Feng was very honest: “My Cultivation is relatively easy, I haven’t paid much attention.”

Red was very sympathetic; it is very, very difficult for powerhouses born in the Great World to go to the Supreme Realm.

After all, the Immortal Realm is too backward, so it’s normal not to understand emperor source. She patiently explained: “An emperor source is actually the embryonic form of a Dao crystal formed after the Law reaches Major Achievement.”

“The power of an emperor source is terrifying, and the Great World generally cannot bear it.”

“Quasi Immortal Emperor is the process of refining the Divine Body to be able to accept the emperor source.”

Chu Feng was thoughtful: “Is it enough to just get an emperor source?”

“Yes, originally in a Great World like the Immortal Realm, unless the Immortal Realm advances, or one comprehends the Immortal Law, otherwise it would be impossible.”

“Strange, logically speaking, the baptism just now should have been completely sufficient to condense an emperor source.”

Red felt it was inconceivable.

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow: “Immortal Law?”

“Yes, the Immortal Law is an exception; it doesn’t have much requirement for the Divine Body and is the top-tier emperor source.”

“So in the Immortal King Realm, there are Immortal Kings with terrifying talent who can comprehend the legendary Immortal Law, condense it into the embryonic form of a Dao crystal, and then become an Immortal King.”

“An Immortal King has actually stepped halfway into the Immortal Emperor threshold, truly a Quasi Immortal Emperor, only needing sufficient Cultivation time to naturally succeed.”

“But you are already a Quasi Immortal Emperor, and joining the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, you don’t need to worry… Eh?”

Red suddenly froze.

She saw a terrifying Law aura flash from Chu Feng’s light image.

Immortal Law aura!

She immediately reacted and stammered, “You, you are a Quasi Immortal Emperor promoted from an Immortal King!?”

“That’s not right! Does an Immortal King still need to be promoted to a Quasi Immortal Emperor? How did you do it?”

She was stunned, truly stunned!

This doesn’t make sense!

How can an Immortal King be promoted to a Quasi Immortal Emperor?

This is a special Realm!

Immortal Kings are extremely rare!

The only way she could think of was to become an Immortal King, then cripple one’s Cultivation, and then, while retaining the Immortal Law, re-Cultivate to the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm!

Could it be that since he couldn’t advance in the Immortal Realm, he did such a crazy thing?

This kind of ordeal, even with Heaven-Defying talent, would take at least a million years!

At this moment, Red believed she had seen through the truth.

She finally understood why Chu Feng was so powerful as a Quasi Immortal Emperor.

Chu Feng frowned in thought, not answering: “Since the Immortal King is the top-tier emperor source, why can’t I advance to Immortal Emperor?”

Red opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but she couldn’t answer either.

An Immortal King, after receiving the hongmeng purple energy, why didn’t he advance to Immortal Emperor?

This was already her blind spot.

“Perhaps the Hongmeng Hall can help you find the answer.”

She thought for a moment and quickly said, “Come on, let me briefly introduce you to the Hongmeng Realm and the Hongmeng Divine Alliance.”

“The Hongmeng Realm is the world within the hongmeng book, a special world created by our Hongmeng Divine Alliance, where many miraculous places exist. The higher your Rank, the more benefits you can obtain in the Hongmeng Realm.”

Her figure flashed, like a meteor, descending downwards.

Chu Feng followed, looking down.

Below was a vast floating palace, roughly the size of a Xuan Realm.

Outside the palace, an island floated.

At this moment, Red’s voice continued: “Below is the Hongmeng Hall.”

“The Hongmeng Hall contains a large number of ancient texts.”

“Most importantly, every ten thousand years, you can come here to claim precious treasures.”

“Treasures are distributed based on your Realm and Rank.”

Chu Feng’s figure flashed, and he had already followed Red to the front of the Hongmeng Hall.

Divine light spilled down, passing through the exquisite eaves, illuminating this majestic hall.

The roof of the hall was refined from extremely precious divine materials, constantly radiating Law light.

The great hall’s doors were wide open, and inside it was empty, with only a giant ball of light, shining like the sun.

Chu Feng said indifferently: “Is there no one?”

Red explained: “Of course there are, the Hongmeng Realm is a self-contained space. If you want to see others, you need to advance to Rank Six to enter the Grandmist Realm.”

Rank Six?

Chu Feng was thoughtful, wouldn’t it be just right if Floating Slaughter Sword Master successfully demonized and then he killed Floating Slaughter Sword Master?

Red’s voice came again: “However, although the Hongmeng Divine Alliance is the most top-tier Supreme force above all Realms, the number of people is actually not as many as you imagine.”

“For example, the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist you asked about earlier.”

“Because there are also factions within the alliance, I’m not sure about the exact number, but it’s close to a hundred.”

“Many others are like Floating Slaughter Sword Master, seeds with Protagonist characteristics. Even if they can join, they often can only advance to Rank Three, which is their limit. There is still a fundamental difference from a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist.”

Red finally brought up the question Chu Feng had asked earlier.

Nearly a hundred!

Chu Feng’s eyes remained still, but his demonic heart unconsciously leaped.

This was like poking a Protagonist’s nest!

With the Hongmeng Divine Alliance as a filter, they were all high-quality Protagonists!

Nearly a hundred Heavenly Mandate Protagonists, it seemed like a lot.

But in reality, the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, as the top-tier Supreme force, has existed for an unknown number of years.

This world is far, far larger than he imagined!

Above the Immortal Realm, the Supreme Realm, and above the Supreme Realm, there might even be nested worlds!

Infinite worlds, endless time, yet only nearly a hundred Heavenly Mandate Protagonists, it’s definitely not many.

Aside from excitement, Chu Feng also inexplicably felt a sense of crisis!

His fate was inherently at odds with Heavenly Mandate Protagonists.

As long as it was a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, there would definitely be an irreconcilable life-and-death feud!

Nearly a hundred Heavenly Mandate Protagonists were not just leeks.

They could also transform into evil Dragons, swallowing him whole without leaving a trace!

Joining the Hongmeng Divine Alliance was like dancing on a tightrope!

One misstep, and it would be eternal damnation!

But Chu Feng inexplicably felt very excited!

He loved this feeling!

He was terrifyingly calm now!

Even if ten thousand Su Ji and Willow God stood naked in front of him, his Dao Heart would not be disturbed.

Chu Feng quietly calculated his chips.

Thirteen heavenly fate shards.

One supreme destiny crystal.

Seventy-five High Grade heavenly mandate treasure chests.

One Heavenly Mandate piglet waiting to be slaughtered.

Even with Immortal Emperor combat power, joining the Hongmeng Divine Alliance would gradually become insufficient.

“I need to Break through to Immortal Emperor as soon as possible to increase the prize pool and unlock stronger identities.”

“Otherwise, if a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist comes knocking, it will be very troublesome.”

Chu Feng looked at the Hongmeng Hall, stepping forward.

At this moment, Red’s figure suddenly paused.

An unexpected message came from her hongmeng book: “Sister, who is Wudi Gu Yan? Tell him to come see me.”
