Wu Feng watched Gu Chen with a slight smile, thinking his offer was perfect. From every aspect, Gu Chen had no reason to refuse.

If it were him, he would have agreed immediately.

After all, even in ancient times, a Coagulation Field powerhouse wasn't something as common as cabbage and held a high status, capable of leading an entire sect.

Not everyone could receive personal guidance from a Coagulation Field expert. Even though Wu Feng was only a remnant soul, his insights into the martial path were certainly enough to instruct Gu Chen.

Not to mention, the martial arts in the current nine provinces had declined compared to the ancient past. Just the martial techniques and methods Wu Feng knew were enough to benefit Gu Chen greatly.

Gu Chen's expression was grave. He admitted that his heart was indeed moved; however, this matter came too suddenly, and he felt he shouldn't agree on the spot.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Chen said, "I wonder if senior could give me a few days to think it over. As you said, we've only just met, and I might need some time."

Wu Feng, upon hearing this, paused slightly, shaking his head as he said, "Fine, perhaps I was too anxious. How much time do you need?"

After a brief thought, Gu Chen replied, "Three days. Give me three days. After I've thought it through, no matter what, I will return here to give you an explanation."

"Three days?" Wu Feng nodded slightly and said, "Very well, three days it is. I hope you won't disappoint me, young man."

As he said this, he sighed softly, seeming somewhat helpless.

Gu Chen, unmoved, bowed with his hands clasped and said, "In that case, I shall take my leave now. In three days, I will come to see you with an answer."

"Good." Wu Feng nodded and turned around, ready to return to the deepest part of this grey, hazy space.

Seeing Wu Feng turn away, Gu Chen did the same. After taking a deep breath, he was ready to leave the place.

But in the next moment, a sudden and shocking change occurred!

Shh-shh-shh!

Suddenly, dark qi transformed into sharp claws, spreading from Wu Feng's body and surging towards Gu Chen at an extreme speed, trying to capture him.

Unbeknownst to when, Wu Feng had turned back around. At this moment, his face was devoid of its gentle smile, and his whole demeanor had become extremely gloomy. His face was overcast and his eyes were cold to the extreme.

Seeing this, Gu Chen sighed softly; he knew it couldn't be that simple.

According to Wu Feng, having been trapped here alone for such a long time, with no one to talk to, not interacting with anyone, it would drive anyone insane over tens of thousands of years or even longer.

Even Gu Chen, upon self-reflection, would find it impossible to endure such loneliness; it was simply too heavy a burden.

It wasn't a matter of days, months, or even a year, but at least tens of thousands of years of being trapped without any hope, in a state of despair.

This made it even more difficult.

The fact that Wu Feng hadn't gone completely mad was already quite extraordinary.

Whiz-whiz-whiz!

The black tentacles formed by Wu Feng's divine sense lunged at Gu Chen, but fortunately, Gu Chen had never fully trusted Wu Feng. He had been wary of him all along, right up until the very end.

Therefore, in the final moment, he leaped backwards to evade Wu Feng's attack.

"As expected, you've been deceiving me all along."

At this point, Gu Chen understood that Wu Feng had never been truthful. The conditions he offered Gu Chen were too unreal, which was why Gu Chen hadn't believed Wu Feng.

"How did you see through it?"

With a calm face and cold eyes, Wu Feng questioned, believing that he had hidden his intentions well and his conditions were perfect. Why had Gu Chen not been deceived?

Indeed, Wu Feng had been deceiving Gu Chen all along. If Gu Chen had agreed, Wu Feng would have taken the opportunity to strike when Gu Chen was unprepared.

Wu Feng had always had only one goal, which was to completely erase Gu Chen's divine sense and then possess Gu Chen's body to accomplish a soul transfer.

One thing he didn't lie about was that even in ancient times, Gu Chen's talent was incredibly rare, and his martial foundation was extraordinarily solid. If he could possess such a body, Wu Feng was confident he could return to his peak in the shortest time and perhaps even break through.

Reaching the realm of Heaven-Man was not impossible either! That was Wu Feng's true goal.

Now that things had come to a head, Gu Chen's expression also turned cold as he said, "You were too anxious, constantly tempting me with benefits and repeatedly insisting you wouldn't harm me. If you had been slower, less anxious, perhaps I wouldn't have become suspicious."

"Moreover, that initial burst of cold wind made you very suspect. You were intentionally luring me to project more of my divine sense here because only then, by destroying my divine sense in this place, would you be completely sure of taking over my body."

A soul transfer is not easy, especially since Wu Feng was just a remnant soul, lacking much of his former strength, which made him even more cautious.

For Gu Chen's body, Wu Feng was an outsider, innately subject to rejection. As for Gu Chen, it was like fighting on home turf, giving him a significant advantage.

Therefore, Wu Feng needed to destroy or consume a certain degree of Gu Chen's divine sense here, gaining confidence to attempt the soul transfer.

"So that's it."

Wu Feng nodded, his expression remaining very calm. He didn't seem to have regrets, for in the end, he had intended to take direct action. The current situation wasn't much different from his initial objective.
