chu Feng walked back to the southern cliff city.
"I have collected 10 blood esensse, it should be enough for me to enter the late mortal realm" thought chu Feng.
when he entered the clan, he went to meet his father.
chu Zhen was training on his courtyard, Chu Feng entered his father courtyard and saw his father entranced in his swordplay.
" father " called chu Feng.
"Oh, feng'er you have come back " said Chu Zhen with a smile on his face, then he said "you stayed in the forest for 3 days, how did it go?
" not bad, I collected 10 blood esensse, they will be enough to sustain my cultivation for at least one month " said Chu Feng proudly.
"I collected the blood essence of 8 from one horned rabbit and 2 from silver crown ape ".
" Hmm, not a bad harvest for your first time hunting " chu Zhen nodded.
"but don't push yourself" said Chu Zhen with a gentle look in his eyes.
" yes, father " said Chu Feng.
" Oh right, I forget to tell you about something,
every 50 years there will be a competition between the geniuses in the mortal zone " smiled chu Zhen, " after 3 years from now, the competition will start , the age limit for the geniuses is 15 years old , the competition is called the mortal dream , and it will be held in the center of the mortal zone. ".
" this competition, why it's called the mortal dream ?" asked Chu Feng with interest.
"because it's the only way for a mortal zone cultivator to achieve a breakthrough to the spirit awakening realm "
"you see the Qi in the mortal zone can't support the cultivator to breakthrough to spirit awakening realm "
" there are two sects from the outer zone that supervise this competition "
"those sects are :
1- heaven sword sect
2- broken moon sect".
said Chu Zhen with passion in his eyes.
"feng'er, you are a genius, and you deserve this chance to change your fate " said Chu Zhen.
with his back straight , eyes sparkling with determination, Chu Feng said " don't worry father , I promise you that I shall make those self-proclaimed geniuses my stepping stones for me to become the winner in this competition, and if anyone tries to stop me, then I will make them wish to be dead".
" good to hear this from you, now go cultivate" said Chu Zhen.
"yes father " said Chu Feng, then he walked out of his father courtyard heading to his room.
