"Chu Feng, I'm truly sorry. Although I don't know why you want this lotus seed so badly, it's been sealed to the point where it's completely worthless now. It's indeed impossible for you to have it."

  "Alright, as compensation for you, let's split this Flame Lotus Iron evenly between us." Hong Qiang said with some embarrassment.

  In his view, this lotus seed was originally worthless and now it's sealed, it's just a mere ornament.

  So he felt ashamed that he had failed to fulfill his promise to Chu Feng, and so he wanted to use the Flame Lotus Iron to make it up to him.

  "Senior, this seal should be breakable, right?" Compared to Hong Qiang, Chu Feng didn't have too much emotion.

  "All seals in the world can be broken, but the seal of this lotus seed is different. It was sealed by Lie Yan Tie Lotus at the last moment, using all its power to seal it."

  "In that case, if Lianhua were to continue resisting me, I would also have to expend some effort in order to subdue her."

  "But precisely because it wanted to use all its power to destroy this lotus seed, it gave me the opportunity to resolve it as soon as possible."

  "So this seal is quite tricky, I won't hide it from you, currently I don't have the means to lift this seal." Hong Qiang shook his head in embarrassment.

  "I have a formation that might be able to break the seal on this lotus seed, but it requires a very high level of purity in the boundary power, I'm afraid I'll need your help, senior." Chu Feng said.

  "What formation?" Hong Qiang asked with some surprise, but also with a hint of skepticism. He didn't think that Chu Feng grasped the formation that could unlock this seal, after all, even he himself was powerless to do so.

  "This formation." Chu Feng spoke as he stretched out his hand, and with a few quick strokes in the air, a diagram of a formation appeared before Hong Qiang's eyes, shining brightly like stars.

  This is not just a simple shape of an array, but also records the subtlety of this array, and records how to set up this array. The record is both detailed and concise, allowing a master like Hong Qiang to see everything at a glance. With a little more study, he can thoroughly grasp the essence of this array.

  "Wait a minute."

  When Hong Qiang saw this formation diagram, he was stunned. His gaze couldn't bear to leave the formation diagram. As he spoke these words to Chu Feng, his eyes began to shine and he surprisingly displayed a special observation technique, carefully observing the formation diagram drawn by Chu Feng.

  Chu Feng knew that Hong Qiang was studying the formation, so he stood aside and didn't speak, not disturbing Hong Qiang, silently watching like this.

  Because Chu Feng knew that if this formation was activated, it would definitely be able to lift the seal on the lotus seed. In that case, the final seal of the Blazing Sun Lotus would have been for nothing.

  In fact, if Chu Feng himself came to unseal it, he would also be able to do so. However, because the power of the imperial seal boundary that he grasped was only at the insect level, the time required to unseal this lotus seed might take a very long time.

  But if it were Hong Qiang, it would be much simpler. At least when Hong Qiang uses this formation to open the lotus seed, he will be much faster than Chu Feng, so that's why Chu Feng asked for his help.

  "Amazing, it's really too amazing. I, Hong, have studied the art of boundary sealing for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such a miraculous unsealing formation."

  "No, it's not the first time, it's the second time. The first time was that sword, the one you gave me with sealing power."

  After a long time, Hong Qiang finally spoke again, and on his face, he wore an expression of surprise and excitement. He seemed very excited, as if he had discovered a rare treasure that was unparalleled in the world.

  In fact, a powerful formation is a treasure for a Boundary Spirit Master, so it's no wonder that Hong Qiang would have this reaction.

  "Chu Feng, isn't that sword also made by you?" Suddenly, Hong Qiang looked at Chu Feng, and he thought of a possibility, one that shocked him once again.

  "I won't deceive you, senior. It was indeed I who did it. I hope you won't blame me for taking liberties and not listening to your words to escape on time, but instead came here." Chu Feng said.

  "If it weren't for you, I would have died already. You saved my life, how could I possibly blame you?" Hong Qiang not only didn't blame Chu Feng, but was instead filled with gratitude.

  "Chu Feng, so you've become the Holy Spirit Master of the Imperial Realm?" Hong Qiang asked again, knowing that the sealed sword could only be condensed by the Holy Spirit Master of the Imperial Realm.

  "En." Chu Feng nodded.

  "Unexpectedly, in the end, I still underestimated you." Hong Qiang couldn't help but sigh in admiration, his face full of smiles. He was happy for Chu Feng, but more so, he had a newfound respect for him.

  "Senior, have you mastered this formation?" Chu Feng asked.

  "You've drawn it so meticulously, if I still can't grasp it after all these years, then I'd have lived in vain." Hong Qiang said with a smile.

  "Then, senior, can this formation unlock the seal on the lotus seed?" Chu Feng asked once again.

  "Possible, but it'll take some time. If I calculate correctly, if I put in all my effort, by the ninth round of hunting, perhaps I can unseal it."

  "It's just Chu Feng, I don't know why you value this lotus seed so much."

  "You wouldn't be thinking of those heavenly energies inside the lotus seed, would you?"

  "Chu Feng, these energies are highly concentrated, but they're also extremely violent and can't be refined at all. You mustn't have any ideas about them," said Hong Qiang.

  "Don't worry, senior. I won't do anything reckless." Chu Feng said with a smile. He indeed needed the heavenly energy inside the lotus seed, but he was afraid that Hong Quan would worry, so he said this.

  He said so in a sentence, and he did not deny using the energy of that day, but at the same time, he would not let Hong Qiang worry.

  After all, for Chu Feng, refining the lotus seed was not a risky matter. With the divine lightning present, even if it were an extremely violent energy, Chu Feng could still refine it.

  "That's good, that's good." As expected, after hearing Chu Feng say so, Hong Qiang finally put his mind at ease.

  "Senior, then I'll trouble you with the lotus seed. I have something to attend to now and need to head to the Boundary Master Alliance. Let's meet again at Qingmu Mountain during the Ninth Hunt."

  Chu Feng had been worried about the situation of the Jie Shi Alliance, and now that things were settled here, he naturally wanted to hurry over to the Jie Shi Alliance as soon as possible.

  "I didn't expect you young man to have connections with the Boundary Master Alliance. Alright, go ahead and attend to your business, but be careful." Hong Qiang reminded him.

  "The junior will comply." Chu Feng cupped his fists in salute and then turned around to leave.

  Hong Qiang did not send Chu Feng away, but instead remained here, waiting until Chu Feng's aura had completely disappeared before slowly opening his mouth:

  "The heavenly road in the Eastern Sea Domain is extraordinary and different from others. Compared with the other three sea domains' heavenly roads, it is several times more perilous."

  It is said that young people who can pass through that heavenly road will surely become great talents.

  "Today, I see that it's indeed the case, Chu Feng. I, the old man, am truly eager to see you shine on this stage of Wu Zong Sheng Tu as a representative of the Eastern Sea Domain." As he spoke these words, Hong Qiang was filled with anticipation.
