Chapter 960 - 960 Chu Yunfan’s Loss of Combat Power, Federation Shaken!
960 Chu Yunfan’s Loss of Combat Power, Federation Shaken!
Not long after Chu Yunfan and the others left, the cave was once again enveloped by the power of countless thunderbolts. Just like countless years ago, time did not seem to have passed.
It was just like before.
After leaving the Thunderstorm Sea, Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu went their separate ways. Tang Siyu and the Thunder Winged Beast went straight to the Tang ancestral home. Chu Yunfan, on the other hand, rode on Ebony Dragon King—who had transformed into his original form—and flew directly to Special Ops’ headquarters in Kunlun City.
Ebony Dragon King’s cultivation was worthy of being in tier five of the Divine Abilities Stage. Flying at full speed, he was extremely fast. It did not take long for him to reach Kunlun City.
After arriving in the city, the first thing Chu Yunfan did was to organize a search for all the herbs needed for the Phoenix Rebirth Pill.
With the current power of Special Ops, ordinary medicinal herbs were easy to get. Even if they couldn’t be bought, someone would send them over.
Who didn’t know how popular Chu Yunfan was now? He was now known as the number one expert of the Federation.
He had many supporters on the Internet too. If he were to run for the position of president, he would obtain huge support and even have the hope of securing the position.
After all, Chu Yunfan was currently the number one person in the Federation in terms of strength. In terms of contributions, he had made a lot of heroic contributions since he came into the world, especially at the battle in First Prison.
That incident had made Chu Yunfan’s reputation soar to the sky.
Killing more than fifty Divines in one battle was a terrifying feat. Even the Federation might not have killed so many Divines over the past few decades.
In this battle alone, Chu Yunfan had made a great contribution. The only thing that restricted him was his age. After all, he was only in his twenties.
In this era, the average human lifespan could reach more than one hundred and twenty years. Compared to the Common Era, it was about the same concept as the age of thirteen or fourteen, or even younger.
However, Chu Yunfan’s future was definitely limitless. If he wanted to, he could even become the president of the Federation in the future.
Coupled with Special Ops that Chu Yunfan controlled, his current status was even higher than that of the great ancestors of the six great families. He was truly at the top of the Federation.
As long as he wanted it, someone would collect all the medicinal materials he wanted. Chu Yunfan’s identity to the outside world was that of an alchemist. He had graduated from the alchemy department of Federation University, so it wasn’t strange for him to collect medicinal materials.
However, the most important Phoenix Grass was nowhere to be found. Even after using Special Ops’ various channels, they failed to locate it.
Chu Yunfan couldn’t do anything about this. The Phoenix Grass was not an ordinary herb, and the environment it grew in was different from that of ordinary herbs.
It grew only in some of the more extreme environments of volcanoes, where Fire Spirit Energy was more dense. Only then would there be a certain chance of the Phoenix Grass growing there.
This herb was not even included in the Federation’s knowledge of medicinal herbs. Only Chu Yunfan, who had inherited the memories of the Alchemy Emperor, knew a little about it.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to search for it himself. Fortunately, Special Ops had all kinds of information, and he could get whatever he wanted.
Chu Yunfan began to search for places where Phoenix Grass might grow. Because the conditions for the herb to grow were very harsh, there were not many places in the Kunlun Realm that were suitable for it.
Soon, he had locked onto a few volcanic zones. In these zones, there was not only one volcano, but many that were in an active state and would erupt from time to time. Only in these active volcanoes would the Phoenix Grass grow.
He began to search through these volcanic zones one by one. Although his cultivation level was temporarily suppressed, the strength of his physical body was still at the Divine Abilities Stage.
He could even fight against magic weapons with his bare hands.
Though the temperature of the crater was extremely high, it was nothing to him. Even if he was directly hit by a volcanic eruption, it would not matter.
In addition, Ebony Dragon King was accompanying him, so it was not a big problem.
To Ebony Dragon King, this wasn’t something he was unwilling to do. In fact, he was more than willing to stay by Chu Yunfan’s side for a while longer.
As he accompanied Chu Yunfan on his search for the herb, Chu Yunfan gave him some pointers on his cultivation.
Although Chu Yunfan’s cultivation level wasn’t as high as Ebony Dragon King’s, he had inherited the Alchemy Emperor’s memories, so he was able to see the problems that Ebony Dragon King encountered from a higher point of view.
Therefore, it was easy for him to offer many solutions to Ebony Dragon King’s problems.
Ebony Dragon King had been cultivating for so many years, and the problems he had encountered were not small. Under Chu Yunfan’s guidance, all of them had been solved.
He was extremely excited, as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun was finally shining through. His cultivation had not changed for decades and had been at a standstill.
Now that Chu Yunfan was helping to guide him in his cultivation, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to tier six of the Divine Abilities Stage.
Under such circumstances, even if he had to do manual labor for Chu Yunfan, he was willing to do it. On top of that, although the environment of the volcanic zones was extremely harsh, the fire energy within it was also extremely rich. It was much easier to cultivate here using the Celestial Devouring Art.
Under such circumstances, Ebony Dragon King was naturally willing to do so.
However, while Chu Yunfan was walking through the volcanoes in search of the Phoenix Grass, on the Internet, news regarding Chu Yunfan was suddenly pushed to the forefront.
It was all because of a post that had become popular on the Internet. It revealed a shocking piece of news.
Chu Yunfan, who had been at the heart of the storm recently—known as the number one expert of the Federation—was suspected to have lost his combat power.
Although the post didn’t say with one hundred percent certainty that he had lost his combat power, a lot of information released showed that he probably had.
Everyone could see that the person behind this post wasn’t an ordinary person. This was because there was a lot of information that ordinary people couldn’t see. Some of them even had photos taken from satellites. These were all classified information to begin with, not to mention using satellites to observe the chief of the Federation’s Special Ops.
This wasn’t something ordinary people could do.
There were also some newly invented machines in the Federation that were used to test the strength of martial artists. They used some unknown method to test Chu Yunfan’s energy fluctuation, but it was actually zero.
Although they knew that the person who released the news was unusual, everyone was still shocked by the news.
