Everlasting Chapter 321: Accept Task (1/2)

Chen Feng refined three strands of Enigma Flame Extract in quick succession. After the size of his Fire acupoint had nearly doubled, Chen Feng stopped.

These Enigma Flame Extract are good items alright. I wonder if I can extract them on my own. For now, though, I should return and check things out. After that, I will go take the promotion a.s.sessment for the core disciple rank. If I don't, I will end up entering the elite disciple category for the Grand Compet.i.tion. That is simply an act of bullying. Having reached that conclusion, Chen Feng then turned to look at Sage Enigma Flame, who was still in the process of cultivating himself. Likewise, there had been no news from Tower. Next, Chen Feng's hands moved to form several hand seals and a pa.s.sageway appeared before him. Chen Feng then stepped out.

This time, Chen Feng did not appear from the top of the mountain. After having acquired the knowledge on how to control the grotto-mansion's seals, Chen Feng could now exit using the grotto-mansion's main gate.

After leaving Sage Enigma Flame's grotto-mansion, Chen Feng did not tarry. He immediately flew back to his mountain.

Before Chen Feng could enter his mountain, he saw Lu Ta and Luo Bo flying out. When they saw Chen Feng, they revealed looks of shock. However, they were quickly replaced by looks of joy.

“Senior Brother Chen, you are back!” Luo Bo exclaimed.

“Thank goodness you are fine!” Lu Ta breathed a sigh of relief.

“What is wrong with you two? I am fine,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“We were thoroughly worried when you were taken away by the enforcement elders. In the past, none of those captured by the enforcement elders could make it back safely. Besides, we heard what happened back in the Hall of Elders. Is Sage Enigma Flame really your master?” Luo Bo asked curiously.

“Yes. I spent the last few days cultivating at my master's place,” Chen Feng replied with a grin.

“That's great. Great. Ha ha ha! Senior Brother Chen, I didn't think you could have such a powerful master. You should know, Sage Enigma Flame is a highly famed character in the world of cultivation. Even in our sect, he is a legendary character. With this, Senior Brother Chen no longer have to worry about the Zhao Family's attempts to trouble you,” Luo Bo laughed out.

“I came back this time to take the promotion a.s.sessment for the core disciple rank,” Chen Feng said, a grin on his face.

“a.s.sessment for the core disciple rank? Senior Brother Chen, the Grand Compet.i.tion is just around the corner. Isn't this a bad timing to be doing that?” Luo Bo said dubiously.

“He he, only by doing this will there be compet.i.tion and pressure. There are practically no more opponents for me amongst the elite disciples,” Chen Feng said.

If Lu Ta and Luo Bo were to hear that from any other elite disciple, they would have considered it an act of arrogance. However, for Chen Feng, those words ring true. Additionally, the two of them knew how strong Chen Feng was. They knew that Chen Feng's words were true.

“To get promoted to the core disciple rank, you will need to complete some tasks. Furthermore, the difficulty level of these tasks is very high. I fear Senior Brother Chen might not be able to complete the tasks before the Grand Compet.i.tion begins,” Luo Bo said.

“Oh, some tasks? I'll go check it out first. If there is not enough time, then there is nothing I can do about it,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.

After that, Chen Feng chatted with them for a while before heading towards the Core Hall.

The Core Hall looked smaller compared to the Elite Hall. However, with just one glance, Chen Feng could see that the Core Hall was built entirely using Starlight Stone. Even from afar, Chen Feng could sense waves of the power of stars emanating from the hall.

Almost all the cultivators going in and out of the place were cultivators that had overcome Lightning Tribulation. Only then did Chen Feng feel some pressure bearing down on him.

These are the core disciples, carefully cultivated by the sect! If you compare it, those who have yet to overcome Lightning Tribulation cannot actually receive the sect's attention!However, only with pressure can there be compet.i.tion. With compet.i.tion, there can be progress. Hopefully, these core disciples can surprise me, Chen Feng thought.

“Aren't you Junior Brother Chen? What brings you here?” Suddenly, someone greeted Chen Feng. Turning, Chen Feng saw that the newcomer was an acquaintance, Luo Mingdao.

“Senior Brother Luo, it is you.” Chen Feng laughed.

It had been a while since their last meeting. Luo Mingdao's cultivation base had risen to a higher height. He seemed close to reaching level 2 of the Sky Human stage.

Chen Feng was slightly surprised by this. When a cultivator reached the Sky Human stage, overcoming each Lightning Tribulation will increase his or her lifespan by 1,000 years.

There were some cultivators who could not continue advancing despite cultivating themselves throughout the 1,000 years. Even so, the majority of them would still choose to cultivate themselves steadily. When they believe that their strength had reached the sufficient threshold, they would a.s.sail their next Lightning Tribulation.

When Chen Feng first met Luo Mingdao, he had only just overcome his 1st Lightning Tribulation. At present, however, it seemed Luo Mingdao was close to undergoing his 2nd Lightning Tribulation. Chen Feng could not help but feel surprised.

“Junior Brother Chen, you have been in the limelight lately. Your purpose for coming here must surely be for the promotion to the core disciple rank, right?” Luo Mingdao said, casting a smile at Chen Feng.

In the beginning, Luo Mingdao had thought that Chen Feng's backer was Bai Ziyan. However, even though Bai Ziyan can be considered a talent, her cultivation base was too low. Anyone from the Department of Elders was stronger than Bai Ziyan.

However, a master had suddenly appeared for Chen Feng. Moreover, this master of his was someone that cannot be casually offended in Extreme Celestial Sect, Sage Enigma Flame. Luo Mingdao knew, Chen Feng's position in Extreme Celestial Sect will be stable in the future.

“Yes. The Grand Compet.i.tion is about to begin. I want to rise up to the core disciple rank before that. Only then will I be able to experience the might of our sect's core disciples,” Chen Feng said with a smile.

“If I am not mistaken, Junior Brother Chen is presently at level 7 of the Concealed stage. Tsk, tsk. It seems the number of Concealed stage disciples within the core disciple rank will no longer be just four, but five.” Luo Mingdao laughed.

“All right, then. I still have some matters to attend to. I will not be chatting with Junior Brother Chen anymore. However, as of late, the tasks involved for the promotion to the core disciple rank have seemingly become more difficult. I fear Junior Brother Chen will be incapable of completing your tasks before the Grand Compet.i.tion.” After saying that, Luo Mingdao cupped his fists and bade Chen Feng farewell.

“Until next time, Senior Brother Luo,” Chen Feng replied with a smile.
