Everlasting Chapter 106: Weird Old Man (1/2)
Seeing Chen Feng slowly move away from the group, the level 5 Concealed stage cultivator's eyes glinted and he slowly followed Chen Feng. As for the wrapped-up level 1 Concealed stage cultivators, he had long since let them go. They were once again left in a dangerous predicament.
Such was the temporary alliance of loose cultivators. The moment something popped up, they would split up and go their separate ways.
Heh! This fellow is secretly following me. What could he be planning? Chen Feng had already discovered the level 5 Concealed stage cultivator following him.
If he plans on harming me, I don't mind killing him off. Thought Chen Feng with a sneer. He did not view the cultivator as a threat at all.
”Eh? What is that aura?” Chen Feng, who was rapidly moving forward, suddenly halted his movements. He spread out his divine sense to secretly perceive his surroundings.
A vast, profound, lofty and unthinkable aura was spreading out from afar. It gave Chen Feng a certain feeling of familiarity.
”This aura resembles the one Tower displayed when he spoke for the first time,” said Chen Feng after pondering it for some time.
Weng! Weng! Weng!
Suddenly, Chen Feng felt ripples spreading out from down under. The surrounding mud began churning while the mud at some places burst to a height of tens of metres into the air.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Three red beams shot out from the side of a mud pool, heading right at Chen Feng. Those were the attacks from Mud Lizards hiding beneath the mud pool.
”Courting death!”
Chen Feng growled as beam after beam flashed out and the three long tongues were cut. The tongues wriggled for a bit before slipping back into the mud.
The aura came from up ahead. It seems there really is an immortal mansion emerging. Having reached that line of thought, Chen Feng stopped hesitating. A faint sword light glowed upwards to encompa.s.s his whole body and he quickly flew up. When the vile astral winds met the layer of sword light, they were immediately cut into pieces. The sword light was a product of the Overwhelming Astral Sword. Thus, blocking off the vile astral winds became a piece of cake.
As time pa.s.sed, Chen Feng's strength grew and he became more proficient in using this Prized artefact. Chen Feng had a feeling. If he could have more time to familiarize himself with the sword, he would be able to unleash its full power.
Seeing Chen Feng fly up, the cultivator tailing him grew shocked.
”The kid was truly hiding his strength. However, his cultivation base is too low. He is simply borrowing the power of a magic treasure. That magic treasure is at least a grade 6 Magic artefact. This is a good opportunity. Later, I can take advantage of the chaos to s.n.a.t.c.h it.”
Despite having flown forward through tens of li, Chen Feng failed to find Ye Ziming and Lu Ta. Meanwhile, there was a cultivator tailing him. Thus, Chen Feng felt irritated and began considering stopping his advance to finish off his tail. However, the ripples of aura coming from up front was gradually growing stronger and Chen Feng was unable to resist the allure of an emerging immortal mansion (1 li = 0.5 km).
As Chen Feng was feeling conflicted, a change occurred to the earthen mound that the cultivators from Sword Tower and Jade Talisman Court had cordoned off.
The earthen mound, 100 metres in height, suddenly shook. The powerful ripples of energy it radiated sent the cultivators from Sword Tower and Jade Talisman Court flying away. Some of them were unlucky enough to be sucked in and reduced to ashes.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
The restrictive barriers that Sword Tower and Jade Talisman Court set up around the place were immediately broken, like dried twigs.
”This is bad! Retreat! Hurry up and retreat into the distance!”
”A change is happening to the immortal mansion. Could it be about to open up?”
Cultivators from the two sects shouted out ceaselessly. There were nervousness, excitement and fear in their faces.
”Look! The earthen mound is rising up!” Someone suddenly noticed the change happening to the earthen mound.
Rumble! Rumble!
The 100-metre earthen mound kept rising upwards. It was seemingly growing out from the earth. As the earthen mound kept rising higher, the surrounding mud pools began churning and the stench from the sticky mud sprayed up incessantly. It felt as though a tsunami had arrived. Even the Mud Lizards hiding within the mud were roaring as they fell out from their hiding spots. Of course, the majority of the yao beasts were knocked unconscious by the sudden shockwaves emitted by the earthen mound.
Mighty shockwave after shockwave spread out into the surroundings and it did not take long for the entire Blackwind Marshes to quake. Even the areas beyond Blackwind Marshes were quaking.
”It is causing too much of a ruckus. I fear the entire Northern Plains will be roused by this.” The leaders from Sword Tower and Jade Talisman Court exchanged glances and realized that the situation had spiralled beyond their grasp.
”Now that the restrictive barriers are broken, the other cultivators will come soon. News of this will probably spread throughout our entire Northern Plains in less than a day. In fact, even the cultivators from beyond our Northern Plains might be lured over.”
…
”A mountain is rising up ahead!” Chen Feng flew swiftly as he regarded the distant rising earthen mound.
”Impressive. In just one breath's worth of time, it has risen by several metres. Could that be the immortal mansion?” A voice suddenly spoke from beside Chen Feng's ear.
