Chapter 1850: Chapter 1853: Disciplining the Chief Steward

As the head steward of the Dragon Immortal Commerce, it’s not that he hasn’t seen strong figures at the Half-step Celestial Being level.

But the oppressive power felt from Chu Fengmian’s aura surpassed any Half-step Celestial Being he had ever encountered.

The head steward felt that before Chu Fengmian, he was like an ant, and Chu Fengmian could easily crush him with a finger. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This pressure was causing his Dao Heart to begin collapsing.

However, at that moment, Chu Fengmian’s aura gradually receded, finally allowing the head steward to catch his breath.

The head steward had acted arrogantly, but Chu Fengmian planned to teach him a lesson, though Chu Fengmian still wished to conduct transactions with Dragon Immortal Commerce, so he naturally wouldn’t harm the head steward.

A small lesson would suffice.

"Please, senior, I will take you to meet my master now."

The head steward regained his composure and respectfully spoke to Chu Fengmian, the disdain on his face vanishing completely.

Chu Fengmian was far more terrifying than any Half-step Celestial Being he had seen, possessing unfathomable strength.

If Chu Fengmian’s aura pressured him even a few breaths longer, the head steward would be driven insane, his Dao Heart shattered, becoming a ruined figure.

Just through aura alone, nearly driving a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor Peak expert mad, such a feat is simply astonishing.

Of course, the mystery of this method is known only to Chu Fengmian himself. Chu Fengmian’s realm is merely that of a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, with actual strength only reaching the peak of Half-step Celestial Being; he hasn’t reached the Heavenly Human Realm.

To use aura alone to drive a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor Peak demon god insane is nearly impossible.

However, this head steward before him is a demon god of the Dragon Clan, and Chu Fengmian possesses the Sky Dragon Claw, infused with the aura of Tai Chu, bearing the majesty of the Ancestor Heavenly Dragon.

The suppression inherent in the bloodline, combined with the power gap, would alone drive the head steward insane through aura pressure.

With Chu Fengmian’s current bloodline, he could almost suppress any Dragon Clan member, which is why Chu Fengmian didn’t fear Azure Dragon Sect.

Though Chu Fengmian’s suppression of the Dragon Clan can only affect dragon demon gods within the same tier, Half-step Celestial Beings of the Dragon Clan can still be suppressed by Chu Fengmian’s bloodline.

But once they truly step into the Heavenly Human Realm, transcending into immortality, even if Chu Fengmian is an outlier of heaven and earth, it’s impossible to maintain the suppression.

The power gap overrides everything.

Since there are no Heavenly Human Realm experts in Azure Dragon Sect, Chu Fengmian naturally has no fear.

Having been disciplined by Chu Fengmian’s aura, the head steward now treats Chu Fengmian with utmost respect, reverently leading Chu Fengmian deep into Dragon Immortal Commerce.

Here, they have reached the core of Dragon Immortal Commerce, but the head steward oversees the entire Dragon Immortal Commerce, managing everything.

He naturally has the qualification to bring people here.

The head steward led Chu Fengmian and Princess Hai to a palace within Dragon Immortal Commerce; the palace doors tightly shut, with numerous forbidden array formations arranged upon them.

Chu Fengmian glanced over, recognizing immediately that the palace’s array formations, even a Half-step Celestial Being attempting to forcibly enter would suffer greatly.

It seems this must be where the master of Dragon Immortal Commerce cultivates.

"Please wait, senior. I will go ahead and notify the master."

The head steward said to Chu Fengmian, then cast a magic technique, stepping into the palace.

Soon, the head steward emerged from the palace, and the palace doors opened with him.

"Please enter, senior."

Upon entering the palace, Chu Fengmian immediately caught whiff of a unique fragrance.

This fragrance, upon smelling it, made Chu Fengmian’s mind feel at peace, with the function of calming the spirit.

Usually, the effect of this fragrance isn’t noticeable, but when used in cultivation, it can stabilize the cultivation and fend off the Heart Demon.

"A millennium-grade dragonwood fragrance, a treasure."

Chu Fengmian noticed from a glance that a censer at the center of the palace was the source of this fragrance.

Dragonwood fragrance is a scented material made from a unique wood, used to stabilize the spirit, especially effective for the Dragon Clan, hence its dominance during ancient times.

Thus, it was named dragonwood fragrance.

A millennium ago, Chu Fengmian had seen quite a bit of dragonwood fragrance, with Sword Dao Sect disciples burning dragonwood fragrance during cultivation.

The higher the age of the dragonwood fragrance, the better the effect. Regular dragonwood fragrance affects only True Emperor level martial artists, while century-old or millennial dragonwood fragrance is effective for Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor Peak experts.

As for millennium dragonwood fragrance, it has exceptionally good effects even for Half-step Celestial Being experts, making this grade of dragonwood fragrance incredibly rare and can fetch astronomical prices.

The palace’s master is actually using dragonwood fragrance for cultivation, speaking volumes of their status.

Nonetheless, Chu Fengmian is not in need of dragonwood fragrance; it is ultimately an external aid, suppressing Heart Demons, considered an outside way.

To truly deal with Heart Demons, the best method is an invincible Dao Heart; when the Dao Heart is invincible, Heart Demons naturally won’t invade.

"What an insightful person."

Just as Chu Fengmian spoke of the dragonwood fragrance, a voice suddenly echoed from deep within the palace, surprising Chu Fengmian.

For this voice was a female’s.

Is the master of Dragon Immortal Commerce actually a woman?

As Chu Fengmian was bewildered, the master of Dragon Immortal Commerce already emerged from the depths of the palace.

This master looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, bearing a dragon prestige, indicating she too is a dragon demon god.

However, in terms of strength, the master of Dragon Immortal Commerce is far more formidable than the Heng Long Young Master Chu Fengmian had once seen.

This is only the strength displayed by the master of Dragon Immortal Commerce, Chu Fengmian can sense that she holds a dormant power within.

The master of Dragon Immortal Commerce is merely a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor Peak demon god, yet if her true power were unleashed, she could defeat Half-step Celestial Beings.

Chu Fengmian felt somewhat surprised.

Apart from Chu Fengmian himself, it’s the first time Chu Fengmian saw a prodigy who could defeat Half-step Celestial Beings from the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor realm.

Although Chu Fengmian hadn’t seen the master of Dragon Immortal Commerce act with his own eyes, from inferring the hidden power within her, this young woman’s strength undoubtedly exceeds many Half-step Celestial Being experts.
