"We respectfully welco the Ancestor!"
Several elderly and excited respectful voices were heard.
Outside the palace of the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
The chief, Xiao Hanfeng, imdiately appeared, his old face full of excitent and enthusiasm. He respectfully clasped his hands and said, "We respectfully welco Young Master Feng!"
Xiao Hanfeng’s respect was practically boundless.
To keep Gu Chenfeng’s identity a secret, Xiao Hanfeng could only refer to him as Young Master Feng.
Seeing Xiao Hanfeng so respectful, Gu Chenfeng chuckled softly, "It seems Chief Xiao is aware of my identity."
Xiao Hanfeng respectfully replied, "I was unaware of Young Master Feng’s identity earlier, and I hope Young Master Feng will not hold it against ."
Xiao Hanfeng was now very certain that the person standing before them, Gu Chenfeng, was the Ancestor of the dicine God Hall.
"Young Master Feng?"
"Chief Xiao... Elder Xiao actually ca out to greet him personally, and there is such a celestial beauty beside him. Who is that young man?"
"No way? Elder Xiao is so respectful to a re youth; what is the background of that young man?"
The crowd, utterly shocked, all turned their eyes towards Gu Chenfeng.
Never mind a re youth, even a strong figure from a powerful faction wouldn’t necessarily receive such a respectful reception from Xiao Hanfeng.
"It’s him! Do you rember the battle between the Su Family and the Shenxiao Pavilion? He is the one who, with one sword slash, killed a Nascent Soul Stage in the Golden Core Stage," a man suddenly exclaid, his eyes wide with recognition.
"Indeed! It’s him!" Another person exclaid, "I rember he’s called Gu Chenfeng! His power is terrifying; with a Golden Core Stage cultivation, he can kill a Nascent Soul Stage!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I rember it now too! He’s called Gu Chenfeng!" Another person said in shock, "With Elder Xiao being so respectful towards him, he must have an extraordinary background."
Upon hearing the exclamations of a few, all the cultivators outside the Artifact Refining Pavilion were petrified.
"Young Master Feng, please follow ." Xiao Hanfeng respectfully said, personally leading Gu Chenfeng into the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
Those outside remained in a state of shock.
Once inside the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Xiao Hanfeng respectfully said, "Ancestor, the Pavilion Master and Elders are in the rear hall. They have been back for so ti, just awaiting Ancestor’s arrival."
"Have their injuries not fully healed yet?" Gu Chenfeng pondered quietly, having already sensed the aura of the Pavilion Master and Elders of the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
A mont later.
Xiao Hanfeng led Gu Chenfeng and the Ice Phoenix to the rear hall.
Xiao Hanfeng respectfully said, "Reporting to the Pavilion Master, Ancestor..."
Before Xiao Hanfeng finished speaking, five elders suddenly appeared.
"Greetings to the Ancestor!" The Pavilion Master and four Elders of the Artifact Refining Pavilion bowed respectfully, tears of excitent rolling down their cheeks.
Although Gu Chenfeng’s appearance and cultivation had changed, they had already been inford by Xiao Hanfeng, so they weren’t overly shocked by Gu Chenfeng’s appearance.
They only needed to know that the young man before them was the Ancestor of the dicine God Hall.
Suddenly.
The five elders had just begun to bow when they were stopped by an unseen force.
"There’s no need for such formality." Looking at the familiar faces, Gu Chenfeng smiled gently, "I was already aware of the matters of that battle years ago, my thanks to you all."
In the past, when the Soul-Devouring Sect retaliated and sought revenge, the Artifact Refining Pavilion suffered heavy casualties, and both the Pavilion Master and Elders were grievously injured, nearly losing their lives.
Even after so many years, their injuries had yet to fully heal.
Gu Chenfeng’s words overwheld the five elders with gratitude and surprise.
The Pavilion Master, Mu Qingchen, quickly and respectfully said, "Ancestor, your words are too kind. The teachings and guidance you’ve provided us are as significant as a mountain. For the Artifact Refining Pavilion to assist the dicine God Hall is only appropriate."
The Grand Elder, Mo Qianjun, respectfully said, "If not for Ancestor’s assistance back then, we wouldn’t have the cultivation we do today. Ancestor’s great kindness and virtue, we shall never forget."
Mu Qingchen continued, "During that battle, our cultivation was too weak and we couldn’t offer much help. In the end, it was the tily arrival of the Ice Phoenix that secured the dicine God Hall."
The Ice Phoenix coldly remarked, "So many years have passed, the cultivation of that old creature has likely reached the pinnacle of the Mahayana Stage, or even more. If the master does not quickly enhance his cultivation, we may not be able to match him."
"Don’t worry," Gu Chenfeng replied with a faint smile, showing not an ounce of fear or worry.
Mu Qingchen suddenly realized sothing and urgently said, "Ancestor, this isn’t the place for discussions. Please, Ancestor, co inside."
"Yes, yes, yes, Ancestor, please co in," Mu Qingchen swiftly gestured respectfully.
Inside the great hall.
Xiao Hanfeng respectfully served tea to Gu Chenfeng and the Ice Phoenix.
Taking a gentle sip of tea, the Ice Phoenix spoke, "The wicked spirit of that old creature from the Soul-Devouring Sect is truly formidable. Even after all these years, with even the Ancient Fire of the Demon God Race aiding, you all still struggle to fully recover."
"His wicked spirit is indeed terrifying," Mu Qingchen nodded and said, "We are grateful for the Ancient Fire of the Demon God Race; otherwise, we would’ve likely perished long ago."
The Grand Elder, Mo Qianjun, smiled, "To have recovered to this extent, we are already content. At least we can see Ancestor’s return in our lifeti."
"Indeed! I thought we’d never have the chance to see Ancestor in this lifeti," the Second Elder happily laughed, his voice slightly choked.
"It’s rely a wicked spirit," Gu Chenfeng grinned, then fully activated his Devouring Power.
"Late Stage of Nascent Soul!" Mu Qingchen and the Elders exclaid in shock.
Xiao Hanfeng said Gu Chenfeng was only at the Golden Core Stage?
Since when did he beco Late Stage of Nascent Soul?
"Late Stage of Nascent Soul? This..." Xiao Hanfeng’s old eyes nearly flew out, his heart was a tempestuous sea of emotions.
Xiao Hanfeng could hardly believe that Gu Chenfeng managed to break through from the Golden Core Stage to Late Stage of Nascent Soul in such a short ti.
What a terrifying speed of cultivation!
In the blink of an eye.
A dominant and formidable Devouring Power swept through the entire hall.
"What kind of power is this?" Mu Qingchen and the Elders were once again in shock.
As they were curious and amazed.
Gu Chenfeng extended his hand and grasped through the air, using the domineering Devouring Power to forcibly engulf the remaining wicked spirit within Mu Qingchen and the others.
"Such overwhelming Devouring Power! The wicked spirit is being forcibly devoured," the group of Mu Qingchen widened their eyes.
In just under ten seconds.
Gu Chenfeng withdrew his Devouring Power and smiled mildly, "Alright, I’ve devoured all the remnants of the wicked spirit in your bodies, you should recover in no ti."
"The pain of erosion has disappeared! The wicked spirit has truly been entirely devoured by the Ancestor, thank you, Ancestor!" Mu Qingchen exclaid in astonishnt and joy.
"The wicked spirit in is gone too! The Ancestor’s devouring spiritual power is terrifying!" Mo Qianjun was both astonished and exhilarated.
"We’ve been at the Demon God Race for so many years, the Ancient Fire couldn’t fully devour the wicked spirit, yet the Ancestor did it in an instant," the Second Elder and the others were equally shocked and overjoyed.
With the wicked spirit completely devoured, their injuries could fully heal, and their cultivation could return to its peak.
Gu Chenfeng then smiled and said, "I ca today for two things, the first of which is to teach you how to refine Immortal Artifacts once you’ve recovered, as the dicine God Hall has already begun collecting materials for it."
"The second thing..."
Before Gu Chenfeng could finish, a voice echoed in the hall, "I beseech the Ice Phoenix to save my little daughter!"
