Chapter 6252: Claiming the Initiative in the Activated Bloodline Tower
Huangfu Zhantian eyed the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen inside the formation with narrowed eyes. These people might have been handpicked elites, but when it came to bloodlines, he wouldn’t pale in comparison to them.
He had participated in the Immemorial Bloodline Tower many times before back then, but not once had he ever succeeded in fully awakening it. Even though he did enter the tower, his gains from it had always been limited.
Yet, these juniors fully awakened it today. It made him, a prodigy from the older generation, a little bitter.
That being said, these people were his clansmen. He was earnestly happy for them despite his bitterness. He was curious to know who was the biggest contributor to the tower’s awakening. Those from the older generation had participated in previous tower activations, so the only new faces were the juniors.
His eyes eventually fell on three people—Huangfu Shangwu, Huangfu Jiangyue, and Huangfu Jiangxing.
Unlike others, he didn’t think it was Huangfu Jiangxing’s sole credit. He knew what their capabilities and limits were, having watched them grow up, so he was more inclined to believe it was their shared credit.
It was just that the other two weren’t taking credit for it.
“It would have been more amazing if Huangfu Shengyu and the others were still around. This generation of juniors is impressive. Has the era truly changed?” Huangfu Zhantian muttered.
Meanwhile, Wang Qiang was staring at the gleeful Huangfu Jiangxing with a disgruntled look. “W-w-why’s that little bastard acting so smug? Does he t-t-think he’s the biggest contributor to the tower’s awakening?”
He was angry because he knew it was Chu Feng’s credit, though he didn’t disturb Chu Feng over it.
That was because he noticed that while others were celebrating their success, Chu Feng continued to sit with crossed legs, focused on the formation even though its light had dimmed.
Knowing Chu Feng well, Wang Qiang realized that there might be more to the formation than what they saw, and Chu Feng was currently deciphering it.
...
The nine-colored lightning in the sky looked fearsome, but the crowd beneath displayed no fear, only excitement.
However, the excitement soon turned into confusion when the nine-colored lightning converged toward the peak of the Immemorial Bloodline Tower, forming a nine-colored lightning sphere that floated at the top.
This nine-colored lightning sphere might appear less impressive than before, but the energy harnessed inside it didn’t pale in comparison. It resembled the sun, lighting up the surroundings.
Soon, pillars of nine-colored lightning shot out from the sphere and began revolving, sweeping the surroundings.
This induced shouts of horror. Many people were so frightened that they peed their pants.
The aura emanated by the nine-colored lightning was so terrifying that they had no doubt they would die if they were struck by it.
However, the crowd soon calmed down when they realized that the pillars of nine-colored lightning passed through the earth and their bodies without causing any damage. It turned out to be an empty scare.
“Observe closely! The secret of the Immemorial Bloodline Tower lies here!” Huangfu Zhantian advised upon sensing something amiss.
All the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen gathered their attention to observe the phenomenon, including Huangfu Jiangxing.
“T-t-those fools! Do they think they c-c-can understand it?” Wang Qiang scoffed.
“We’ll go in together later,” Chu Feng told Wang Qiang via voice transmission.
“Brother, did you s-s-succeed?” Wang Qiang was overjoyed.
Those who had participated in the tower activation were weakened to some extent, but Chu Feng’s complexion looked the same as before. He didn’t look injured in the least.
“Easy-peasy.” Chu Feng winked at him.
He was satisfied with the massive rewards he got.
“That Huangfu guy m-m-mentioned that the lightning sphere contains some secret. Was he wrong?” Wang Qiang asked this question because Chu Feng wasn’t observing the lightning pillars.
“It does, but I have already grasped it,” Chu Feng replied.
“When?” Wang Qiang asked.
“Just now.”
“You g-g-grasped it at a glance?” Wang Qiang was stunned.
“That’s right. I previously advised you not to enter the tower because I thought you wouldn’t get anything from it if you don’t participate in its activation, but I later realized that the benefits aren’t just exclusive to those who activated the tower,” Chu Feng replied via voice transmission.
“What b-b-benefits are there?” Wang Qiang’s eyes lit up.
“I can’t say for sure yet, but it’s located on the ninety-ninth floor. We can take a look together,” Chu Feng said.
“S-s-sure...” Wang Qiang nodded.
The nine-colored lightning sphere dissipated shortly after, and many spirit formation gates manifested at the base of the Immemorial Bloodline Tower. It was finally possible to enter the tower.
Huangfu Zhantian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been observing the nine-colored lightning sphere despite not having entered the formation, but he was unable to see through it.
“Did you notice anything?” Huangfu Jiangyue asked her little brother.
“Did you?” Huangfu Jiangxing returned the question.
“I’m afraid not.” Huangfu Jiangyue shook her head.
“I didn’t notice anything too. Is Huangfu Zhantian too sensitive? It could have just been a simple display,” Huangfu Jiangxing said.
“That’s possible. He has never fully awakened the Immemorial Bloodline Tower either, so his deduction might be off the mark,” Huangfu Jiangyue agreed.
Huangfu Zhantian was an important figure in their Huangfu Heavenly Clan, not just because of his high cultivation but because of his Heavenly General-tier Heavenly Bloodline too.
According to their father, Huangfu Zhantian had been practicing a unique profound skill that slowed the advancement of his cultivation, but the moment he mastered it, his cultivation would grow by leaps and bounds.
If not for that, Huangfu Zhantian wouldn’t just be at rank one Heavenly God level. Even so, his fighting prowess was superior to ordinary rank one Heavenly God level cultivators.
But Huangfu Zhantian’s talent was only notable among the older generations. His powerful bloodline was commonplace in their generation. For instance, both Huangfu Jiangxing and Huangfu Jiangyue’s bloodlines were at Heavenly General-tier too.
Due to that, their respect for Huangfu Zhantian was only skin deep.
Let’s go, big sister,” Huangfu Jiangxing said as he made his way toward the Immemorial Bloodline Tower.
Those who were standing around began surging into the Immemorial Bloodline Tower as well, including Chu Feng and Wang Qiang.
The Immemorial Bloodline Tower was different from how the crowd expected it to be. Inside it was neither a majestic palace nor a deep cavern but a lush forest.
A mysterious power in the forest restrained their ability to fly and restricted their visibility, but the crowd still rushed into the forest because they were worried they might miss the benefits.
Initially, Chu Feng’s group advanced quickly, lagging only slightly Huangfu Jiangxing’s group, but all of a sudden, Chu Feng stopped. His body had suddenly become incredibly weak, and he coughed violently.
“What’s wrong, brother?” Wang Qiang rushed forward to support Chu Feng.

“I might have impaired my bloodline while activating the bloodline tower,” Chu Feng replied.
Those words put Wang Qiang’s mind at ease as he knew that couldn’t be true.
Oblivious to the truth, Huangfu Jiangxing sneered, “Trash.”
Despite being in the lead, he had been secretly paying attention to the crowd behind him, including Chu Feng. Thinking about the respectful gazes he received earlier and how useless Chu Feng was, suffering such severe damage just from activating the tower, he decided not to waste his effort observing Chu Feng.
He didn’t think that Chu Feng could pose a threat to him anyway.
Chu Feng’s teammates stopped to look at him anxiously. They were not worried about him but losing their lead and missing the benefits, since his delay had allowed other teams to overtake them.
They initially put up with it, but when they were the only ones left outside the forest, someone finally lost his patience and said, “Young friend, I’m sympathetic about your plight, but we are here to benefit from the tower. Why don’t you hand the tower token to me if you can’t advance any further?”
The one who had just spoken was a rank four True God level old man. He initially planned to rob Chu Feng’s tower token and treasures, but he dropped that thought upon realizing that the latter was backed by a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist.
That was the only reason the old man was still speaking politely now.
You old t-t-thing! You received my brother’s incentive, s-s-so just do your job and don’t think about anything else,” Wang Qiang scoffed.
“Young friend, you’re mistaken if you think you can order us around like dogs over that bit of incentives. We wish to benefit from the tower too,” the old man said.
“I’ll be fine very soon. Give me a moment. I won’t delay you by much,” Chu Feng said.
“Young friend, you’re a cultivator too. You should understand the importance of clinching the initiative. The others have already ventured into the forest; we’re the only ones left here. We will be left with nothing at this rate. How about this? I’ll return the incentive I received from you, and in return, you’ll hand the tower token to me.”
Despite the old man’s amicable tone, he didn’t take out the items at all. Instead, he unleashed his rank four True God level aura.
He was not negotiating with Chu Feng but threatening him!
