Everlasting Chapter 283: Sealed Zone (1/2)

Thunder Hegemon continued appearing every few days and Chen Feng quickly got used to it. The conversation length between the two also increased, encompa.s.sing every topic. In the end, they even talked about cultivation. It was then that Chen Feng realized that Thunder Hegemon was indeed no ordinary character.

Thunder Hegemon constantly displayed pinpoint insight towards cultivation. For Chen Feng, Thunder Hegemon's knowledge about cultivation was even higher and more insightful compared to the lecturers from Extreme Celestial Sect's Heir Hall. After conversing at length with Thunder Hegemon, Chen Feng was able to benefit considerably. Unknowingly, his cultivation base had also risen.

Is he really not bearing any malicious intentions against me? Chen Feng felt puzzled.

“Right, Senior Thunder. There are so many spiritual herbs here. Do you not need any of them?” Chen Feng deliberately asked.

“He he, these are all spiritual herbs in the peripheral areas. They are not worth mentioning. The good items are deep inside this mountain range,” Thunder Hegemon said smilingly.

“What? These spiritual herbs are not worth mentioning?” Chen Feng stared with widened eyes. The value of the harvests he obtained during the past few days had surpa.s.sed all the treasures within the Longevity Tower. There were over a thousand spiritual herbs that were over 1,000 years old. It was such that Chen Feng felt as though he was some countryside plutocrat. However, Thunder Hegemon had suddenly said that these spiritual herbs were not worth mentioning. That came as a shock to Chen Feng.

“That is right. Although these spiritual herbs are somewhat rare, they cannot actually be considered valuable. There are extremely few amongst them that are over 2,000 years old. By going slightly deeper, you will realize that the spiritual herbs here are but inferior plants!”

“All right, let's end our conversation here today. I want to check out the depths of this mountain range.” After saying that, Thunder Hegemon floated up and disappeared.

“Tower, what do you think? Did Thunder Hegemon deliberately say that?” Chen Feng calmly asked Tower.

“Of course.” Tower was quick to answer.

“However, I am still feeling very tempted,” said a smiling Chen Feng.

“In that case, just go and have a look. The grade of the spiritual herbs here is indeed too low,” said Tower scornfully.

Chen Feng was very decisive. After having made up his mind, he flew forward, moving past several mountains before landing.

“Indeed! The spiritual herbs here have a higher age.” With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Feng picked up a ginseng, which was as thick as an arm. It was just an ordinary mountain ginseng. However, it was over 2,000 years old. Feeling the vigorous medicinal power within it, Chen Feng could not stop himself from feeling shocked.

There were also many spiritual herbs that were over 1,000 years old in the peripheral areas. However, they were not as commonplace as this mountain. With just one glance, Chen Feng saw tens of spiritual herbs that were over 1,000 years old.

Seeing that, Chen Feng felt excited and he began digging them up.

“Humph, how lackl.u.s.tre. You are satisfied with this kind of spiritual herbs?” Tower said disdainfully.

“Yes, there must be even better spiritual herbs up ahead. Strangely, there are no restrictive barriers here.” Chen Feng felt puzzled as he flew forward once more.

After flying through 10 plus mountains, Chen Feng finally saw Thunder Hegemon again. He was seated cross-legged as he practiced cultivation on a mountain. He seemed unaware of Chen Feng's arrival.

“Most of the spiritual herbs here are over 3,000 years old. Some are close to 10,000 years old,” Tower said slowly.

“Close to 10,000 years old!” Chen Feng felt somewhat dumbfounded. He felt his throat going parched. Spiritual herbs at this level was already good enough to concoct out Sky-tier medicinal pills.

While it might be a little difficult to concoct Sky-tier medicinal pills with them, concocting out Earthen-tier medicinal pills would be a piece of cake.

The medicinal pills that Chen Feng was presently using were only at the Human-tier. Earthen-tier medicinal pills were items that Sky Human stage cultivators take.

Chen Feng a.s.sumed that his arrival would alarm Thunder Hegemon. However, after digging out tens of spiritual herbs, Thunder Hegemon continued to show no reaction. He continued to sit silently on the mountaintop. It was unknown just what kind of cultivation technique he was practicing.

“Heh, this fellow is pretending. He is constantly observing you,” Tower said with a chuckle.

“When you put it that way, he truly has bad intentions,” Chen Feng said.

“Most certainly,” Tower said confidently.

“No matter what his intentions may be, I cannot give up on these spiritual herbs,” Chen Feng replied with a smile. Every one of the spiritual herbs resting before him was a treasure. Chen Feng wanted so desperately to grow several more hands to help him. Thousands of years old, these spiritual herbs were qualified for even Human Immortals.

Naturally, there was the condition that Chen Feng could collect them all and keep them inside the Longevity Tower.

“Tower, these spiritual herbs should be somewhat useful for you, right?” Chen Feng asked Tower.

“Naturally. However, you should keep them for yourself. I can sense spiritual herbs of a higher grade up ahead,” Tower said.

“There's higher?” Chen Feng gazed ahead. As usual, there were rolling mountains laid out before him. However, Chen Feng could feel his heart palpitating.

“Didn't you say there should be a Demon King sealed here? If we go deeper, I fear there will be danger.” Chen Feng displayed caution.

“Heh! You said it yourself, it is sealed. Since it is sealed, it should be inconvenient for it to move around. Additionally, its level of strength should have been worn down. No need to fear, no need to fear,” Tower said with a chuckle.

“I should still focus on what is right before me,” Chen Feng said coolly. With a wave of his hand, the ground shook and ten plus 3,000-year-old Demonic Poison Flowers flew into the Longevity Tower, roots included.

After collecting 1,000 of the spiritual herbs, Chen Feng sat down cross-legged and began practicing the Demonic Heavengorging Art. He was visited by an extremely odd feeling. Recently, the rate at which he was cultivating the Demonic Heavengorging Art had become increasingly high. In the beginning, Chen Feng had a.s.sumed that it was because his cultivation base had risen. At that moment, however, Chen Feng sensed that was not the case.

Or is it connected to the environment here? Is a Devourer Beast sealed here? Chen Feng wondered.

Unknown to Chen Feng, as he was practicing the Demonic Heavengorging Art, the distant Thunder Hegemon snapped his eyes open. A brilliant light flashed across them before he closed them up again. It seemed he had discovered something.

After Chen Feng was done with his cultivation session, he noticed that Thunder Hegemon was standing quietly before him. The sight shocked Chen Feng.

“Senior Thunder,” Chen Feng said with a smile after getting up.
