Chapter 336: Apprehension

"No way! Senior Sister Bai Han, you’re a hundred and ten years old? How do you maintain your looks?" Su Miaoke was stunned when she heard this!

She had heard Chu Feng say before that your lifespan increases with your cultivation realm, but she never really had a concept of what that meant.

Now, seeing Bai Han, she was utterly shocked. It was just too astonishing.

A hundred and ten years old, yet she looked like she was thirty. How could that not be shocking?

If she hadn’t learned about all this, and someone else had said it, Su Miaoke would never have believed them. She would have just thought they were a lunatic.

"No need to be envious, Miaoke. Once you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can change your appearance as you wish," Bai Han said with a smile.

"Mhm, I heard Chu Feng say before that there are Elixir Pills in this world for eternal youth. Senior Sister, have you taken any of them?" Su Miaoke asked curiously.

"No, I’ve never heard of where to find such Elixir Pills. Junior Brother Chu, do you happen to know?" Bai Han asked, intrigued.

"I do. Such Elixir Pills exist. Ordinary people can maintain their youth forever after taking them, but it’s only an external improvement. For us Cultivators, they don’t have much use," Chu Feng said.

"Oh? Even if they’re useless to us Cultivators, that’s still heaven-defying. To let ordinary people stay young forever, with an unchanging face... I imagine countless ordinary women would be clamoring for them," Bai Han said.

"Yes, that’s true. But Master, was there something you wanted to see me about?" Chu Feng asked.

"It’s nothing specific. It’s just that the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony is about to begin, and Kunlun Mountain has become a chaotic place. Martial Cultivators from all over the country are rushing here. With you here, Master feels more at ease," the Celestial Sword Sect Leader said.

"Hmm? Master, what you’re saying is... you’re worried about something?" Chu Feng asked.

"Yes, I am a little worried. Although our Celestial Sword Sect has a long history and a strong reputation, and we don’t fear anyone, this period is rather chaotic. Plus, for this Martial Arts Grand Ceremony, every Martial Arts Sect from Northwest China is required to send two people at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm."

"I’m worried that someone will use this opportunity to make a move against the Celestial Sword Sect. With you here, you and your senior sister can go as the Martial Arts Venerables. I will guard the Sect myself, and then everything will be secure," the Celestial Sword Sect Leader said.

"Is there really someone who would dare to move against the Celestial Sword Sect?" Chu Feng was curious.

"What’s so strange about that? The number of Sects that would dare to move against our Celestial Sword Sect is not small. There are probably about five, and one of them is on the Great Northwest Snow Mountain."

"Oh? Which one?" Chu Feng asked curiously.

"The Seven Kills Sect. They have several thousand disciples, and experts as numerous as the hairs on an ox. From what we currently know, they have at least ten Human Martial Arts Peak Realm Cultivators, and two have even reached the Mid-stage Core Formation, with strength not much different from my own," the Celestial Sword Sect Leader said with a smile.

"That many at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm? What about the other ones? What are they like?" Chu Feng asked.

"The others are also very strong. They have at least five or six at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm, and many have more than ten."

"Not to mention the other disciples in their Sects; there are a great many of them, with countless prodigies. These Sects definitely have some old fossils hiding away. Their true strength is impossible to know. In short, they are very strong."

Listening to the Celestial Sword Sect Leader’s explanation, Chu Feng started to get a better understanding.

’So this so-called Human Martial Arts Peak Realm is actually the Core Formation Realm.’

’There are actually quite a few Core Formation Realm Cultivators among the various Sects and Martial Arts Families across the country.’

’But after the Middle Stage, the numbers drop off significantly. Still, if you add them all up, there are quite a lot.’

"I heard Sword King Valley is also very strong? And Medicine King Hall, what’s their strength like?" Chu Feng asked.

"Sword King Valley is notoriously powerful. Rumor has it they have over ten thousand Sword Cultivators. At the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm, which is the Initial Stage Realm of Core Formation, they have several dozen people. They also have about ten at Mid-stage Core Formation, and possibly even some at the Peak of Core Formation."

"Medicine King Hall may be more low-key than Sword King Valley, but when it comes to Core Formation Realm experts, Medicine King Hall is the strongest. They have even more than Sword King Valley," the Celestial Sword Sect Leader said.

"Back then, it was precisely because the Chu Family asked Sword King Valley for help that they were able to successfully withdraw from their conflict with the Qing Gang. Otherwise, the Chu Family would have been in real trouble," Bai Han added.

"That’s right. Back then, the Chu Family had a conflict with the Qing Gang and asked Sword King Valley to mediate. With Sword King Valley’s intervention, the battle ended, but it also forced the Chu Family into seclusion for decades," Chu Feng said.

"By the way, Junior Brother Chu, when did you reach the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm?" Bai Han asked curiously.

"Haha, it’s not convenient to talk about that. I didn’t grow up in the Chu Family, so it’s normal that you don’t know. I was raised in the countryside," Chu Feng said.

"Your various identities have already been investigated crystal clear by the major powers, so let’s not talk about that. However, I have something I want to ask you. With a Martial Cultivation Spirit Stone, is it possible to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm? Or even the Golden Core Realm?" the Celestial Sword Sect Leader asked.
