CHAPTER 566: CHAPTER 576: SEVEN STAR CAVE

After his rebirth, Chu Feng had never felt as inferior as at this moment. Facing the powerful Qin Shan, he was utterly powerless to resist.

Because he had cultivated for too short a time.

Qin Shan is a Four-star Sword God, utterly beyond the current Chu Feng’s reach. Whether in status or strength, he could easily crush Chu Feng.

"Husband~!" Han Xiaoying held Chu Feng’s hands, face to face, gazing deeply into his eyes.

"I..." Chu Feng guiltily lowered his head; his wife was entangled by that shameless Qin Shan, and he could not protect her.

This made Chu Feng feel extremely self-reproachful and incredibly frustrated.

Vengeance for blood-deep hatred could wait, but Han Xiaoying’s current situation was extremely dangerous, leaving no ample time for Chu Feng to resolve it.

"Mmm..."

He suddenly widened his eyes.

He never expected that Han Xiaoying, who usually preserved her purity and was as aloof as a fairy, would suddenly kiss him. This touched Chu Feng deeply.

"Husband, I have made up my mind. It’s uninspiring to be a Medicine Farmer in Medicine Mountain. Over this period, I have completed many tasks and finally accumulated twenty thousand contribution points. Furthermore, now that I have reached the Sword Saint Cultivation level, I can actively apply to guard the demons inside the Seven Star Cave!"

"You want to go to the Seven Star Cave? No, no, it’s too dangerous!"

Chu Feng was utterly shocked.

In the distant past, the Divine Martial Continent was originally one with the Divine Demon Continent.

Billions of years ago, it is said that the Destructive Black Lotus from the Upper Realm fell into this world. Since then, various kinds of demons began to appear in this realm. Initially, they were only partially demonized humans or beasts.

As time passed, they absorbed more demonic Qi and completely transformed into demons.

These demons are exceptionally bloodthirsty and brutal, and killing and eating humans is merely their daily routine.

Half-demon half-human, known as Demon sub-species.

These half-demon half-humans can possess human appearances when normal, making it difficult for outsiders to discern their true nature.

Only in their frenzied state do they reveal their ferocious and terrifying demonic form.

Whether demons or demon sub-species, they pose a severe threat to human safety.

And these demons possess immensely powerful strength and are difficult to deal with.

Eventually, the reclusive supremely powerful beings, said to be of the Immortal Gods level, took action and forcefully drove the demons to the desolate lands of this realm to prevent them from continuing to invade the human-inhabited Divine Martial Continent.

The supreme beings, utilizing various natural dangers and barriers, and even moving mountains and creating seas, finally completely separated the Divine Martial Continent from the Divine Demon Continent.

For instance, the world-famous Ancestral Demon Sea, boundless and vast, its width unknown to anyone. Or the insurmountable Heavenly God Mountain, and the Ancient Wilderness filled with unknown and endless dangers, among others.

These are the natural barriers separating the Divine Martial Continent from the Divine Demon Continent.

Even so, some powerful demons still manage to slip through the many barriers and enter human territories.

Even if it is just a weakest demon, once it breaks into human territories, it would cause a terrible disaster.

For this reason, the major human forces have long reached a consensus.

Each responsible for guarding a front line, defending tightly, not allowing any demons any opportunity to exploit.

Between the two continents, although there is a natural barrier separating them, the demons are extremely cunning. Among the demons, there are also some extremely formidable beings.

They have tried every possible way to establish a passage between the two continents.

Just like humans digging secret tunnels.

After countless years of effort by the demons, they have indeed managed to open up several secret passages that directly bypass those natural barriers to enter the Divine Martial Continent.

The Seven Star Cave is one of them.

This cave is located precisely in the Outer City area of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

To prevent demons from running out of the Seven Star Cave and wreaking havoc within the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, many masters are dispatched every year to guard the cave.

Because guarding the Seven Star Cave is very dangerous, the sect provides very generous treatment to every disciple willing to guard the cave. Not only can they be exempted from all miscellaneous tasks, but they can also enjoy the cultivation resources that are only available to Inner Sect Disciples.

Elixirs, Heavenly Materials, and Earthly Treasures, etc., are all distributed according to the treatment of Inner Sect Disciples.

Moreover, guarding the Seven Star Cave is one of the few methods by which one can be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple without having to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.

Of course, the requirements to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple are extremely strict.

One needs to slay a very formidable demon in the Seven Star Cave, establishing great merit for the sect while also proving their powerful strength. Only then is it possible for the sect to promote them to the Inner Sect.

You should know that even the lowest-rated demons possess the strength of a Sword Saint level human.

As for the formidable ones, they are beyond the reach of even a Nine-star Sword God.

The Ten Thousand Sword Sect is quite clever.

If someone truly manages to kill a formidable demon, understanding the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill becomes less important. That’s because even the Inner Sect Disciples who have comprehended the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill may not necessarily be able to slay a formidable demon.

There is not just one top swordsmanship in the world.

Almost every sect has at least one top swordsmanship.

Han Xiaoying possesses the Seven-star Sword Veins, and has also cultivated the Seven Killings Sword Skill. She was undoubtedly one of the most devilish Heavenly Prides during her time in the Dan State Branch.

Now, having entered the Main Lineage of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, she has become a lowly Outer Sect Medicine Farmer.

She certainly cannot accept this huge disparity in status.

She has been constantly trying to change her status within the Main Lineage.

"My lord, I also know that the Seven Star Cave is very dangerous. However, I believe that I can definitely survive it. When you have the strength in the future to confront Han Shan, you can come into the Seven Star Cave to rescue me."

Han Xiaoying looked at Chu Feng seriously, her tone very determined.

"Xiao Ying, I know I can’t stop you! I understand even more that your entering the Seven Star Cave is to avoid Han Shan’s entanglement, to prevent me from having a more intense conflict with Han Shan."

"If you must enter the Seven Star Cave, I won’t stop you. Take these Talismanic Elixirs with you. Remember, you must stay alive, and at most within five years, I will definitely go into the Seven Star Cave and rescue you!"

Chu Feng set a time frame for himself.

He must surpass Han Shan within five years.

Other geniuses, even with five decades let alone just five years, might not be able to have this certainty.
