Chapter 6250: Stepping Stone Chapter 6250: Stepping Stone There were so many people that it took some time to distribute the tower tokens. After trying to intimidate Chu Feng, Huangfu Jiangxing and Huangfu Jiangyue returned to their war chariots. The yellow-bearded elder followed them. “Young master, miss, there is no need to lower yourself to educate an outsider. He’s merely your stepping stone,” the yellow-bearded elder said. “Didn’t you see? That fellow has a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist as his backing,” Huangfu Jiangxing remarked. “Of course I did. I didn’t expect there to be an expert of this caliber in this realm. But there’s nothing to fear when you have brought Lord Huangfu Zhantian here with us. With him holding the fort, what can a mere rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist hope to achieve? Even if not for him, I could have...” A cold intent shrouded the area before the yellow-bearded elder could finish his words. “I’m merely letting him know who is the master here lest he get over his head just because he has a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist as his backing, but what do you mean by those words? Do you think that I fear him? The likes of him posing a threat to me? What foolish words. If not for that Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist, I would have thought he was a weak mortal trash!” Huangfu Jiangxing glared at the yellow-bearded elder with cold eyes. He was the one emanating that cold intent. “Young master Jiangxing, that’s not what I mean.” The yellow-bearded elder realized that he had misspoken and hurriedly apologized. Huangfu Jiangxing harrumphed, his anger unabated. Huangfu Jiangyue spoke up, “Elder Huang, my little brother and I had to spend a long time convincing my father for this. Are you certain it is feasible? I hope that our effort doesn’t go to benefiting those bumpkins.” She knew that they could only attain greater rewards if they fully awakened the Immemorial Bloodline Tower, or else they would truly be giving out freebies to outsiders. The yellow-bearded elder took out an ancient scroll and said, “Rest assured, Miss Jiangyue. I have examined the records—the more cultivator bloodlines there are, the likelier it is to awaken the Immemorial Bloodline Tower’s true energy. With so many people here and the preparations we have made, we will surely awaken the Immemorial Bloodline Tower. The people gathered here are nothing more than your stepping stones.” “Elder, we will remember your contribution if we truly awaken the Immemorial Bloodline Tower’s true energy. For now, you should head out,” Huangfu Jiangyue said. The yellow-bearded elder quickly left. As soon as he stepped out of the war chariot, his earlier fawning expression vanished, and he scoffed in displeasure, “You’re throwing a tantrum at me even though I’m strategizing for you? Do you take yourself to be the clan chief’s successor? I would never fawn on wastrels on you if young master Shengyu was still around.” ... In the war chariot, Huangfu Jiangyue turned to Huangfu Jiangxing and advised, “Little brother, you need to learn to control your temper. Elder Huang has some influence in the clan too, not to mention he just advanced to Heavenly God level not too long ago. Lord Father plans to promote him to a guardian elder.” But Huangfu Jiangxing interjected, “He was Huangfu Shengyu’s lackey. He is only fawning on us now that Huangfu Shengyu is dead. I wouldn’t have even given him the time of my day if not for your insistence.” “Don’t be caught in trivialities if you wish to do bigger things. If we succeed, you might be able to advance to rank two True God level,” Huangfu Jiangyue told Huangfu Jiangxing. “So what if I advance to rank two True God level? I have already surpassed Huangfu Shengyu, but to father, I am still beneath him. Is it just because my bloodline pales in comparison? But my cultivation has already surpassed him!” Huangfu Jiangxing huffed. Huangfu Shengyu was a thorn in his heart. He had always towered over him from a young age. Even when the Huangfu Heavenly Clan chose Huangfu Jiangxing as the clan chief’s successor after Huangfu Shengyu’s death, his father still refused to dote on him the same way as he did on Huangfu Shengyu. Huangfu Jiangyue looked at Huangfu Jiangxing with a dissatisfied frown. “What’s the point of throwing a tantrum? It’s because of God’s Era’s prophecy that Lord Father spared no expense to help us awaken our bloodline and advance our cultivation. You and I might have advanced to True God level, but didn’t Huangfu Shangwu succeed as well? What makes you think Huangfu Shengyu wouldn’t have advanced to rank two True God level if he was still alive?” “Do you think I’m beneath Huangfu Shengyu too?” Huangfu Jiangxing questioned. “It’s not just me; everyone thinks the same. You’re young, so you don’t know how doted our mother was because of Huangfu Shengyu. It was because of Huangfu Shengyu that his mother became more doted than our mother. Huangfu Shengyu’s death is an opportunity for us. “Do you know why Huangfu Shengyu’s mother is still the one our father dotes on the most even though Huangfu Shengyu is dead? I’ll tell you why—it’s because we aren’t strong enough yet. Others won’t respect you just because you throw a tantrum; you need to win it yourself. “Why do you think our father agreed to this plan? Is it because he trusts us or Elder Huang? Not at all. It’s because Huangfu Zhantian spoke on our behalf. That’s why our father allowed us to get our way. But why did Huangfu Zhantian help us? It’s because our mother begged him. “This is a rare opportunity. Your bloodline may metamorphose if we awaken the Immemorial Bloodline Tower. You may just surpass Huangfu Shengyu. If you expect things to be handed to you on a silver platter, you should return now. I’ll do it myself!” Huangfu Jiangyue roared. Huangfu Jiangxing was silent for several seconds before he raised his head. “Big sister, I understand. I won’t let you and mother down. I’ll awaken the Immemorial Bloodline Tower’s true energy and replace Huangfu Shengyu in the truest sense. ... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 The Immemorial Bloodline Tower was activated after all the tower tokens were distributed, but the tower doors didn’t open straight away to let everyone in. Instead, a huge formation appeared around the Immemorial Bloodline Tower. The formations divided the surrounding land into several segments; the number of segments tallied with the number of tower tokens. The Huangfu Heavenly Clan instructed the tower token holders and their teams to step into the segmented lands. The crowd was excited, thinking that this was a free windfall. Chu Feng, however, earnestly observed the surroundings.
