Chapter 60: Fly with A Sword (1/2)

Chen Feng spent the next few days stabilizing his cultivation base. In the end, he spent a whole month practicing within the valley. Only then did he decide to leave.

“This is a really good place to practice cultivation. If not for the fact that I want to go out for an adventure, I would stay here and enter cultivation retreat,” said Chen Feng with a smile.

During the past month, Chen Feng had established a link with the Longevity Tower, successfully opened up his 1st sea of wisdom layer, his Heavenly Origin acupoint and even learnt how to drive a flying sword. Additionally, his cultivation base of level 1 of the Concealed stage was practically at the major success phase. At present, Chen Feng lacked the experience that could only be gained by combating other cultivators.

The increase in strength was naturally a good thing. For Chen Feng, however, he could finally feel the path he needed to take and an objective had formed in his mind.

To constantly grow stronger and discover his own identity.

“According to the mysterious voice, he is the Longevity Tower and the Longevity Tower is him. What a peculiar statement. I wonder what that means.” Chen Feng pondered those words with a frowning face.

“Regardless, this fellow had helped me improve my cultivation base and gave me a complete version of the Longevity Scripture. He even gave me the ability to control the Longevity Tower. This should be a good thing.

“However, ‘he’ seems to be in a terribly wounded state. Could it be that after I have grown stronger, I will have to go repair all the cracks and damage on the Longevity Tower? Surely, it won’t be as simple as that?

“Whatever, thinking so much about it is pointless. I should hurry up and improve my cultivation base.

Chen Feng shook his head and cast the issue aside. After clearing his mind, he willed himself into the Longevity Tower.

By now, the Four-eared Spirit Monkey was no longer radiating an atmosphere of wildness. Even the violent aura that it had been emanating had been retracted. Instead, there was a slight look of exhaustion on it.

“Tsk! Tsk! You are truly a powerful yao beast. Even though you have not had anything to eat and drink for so long, you don’t appear particularly listless,” said Chen Feng, who was unable to stop himself from smiling. Next, he retrieved a fresh, pink-coloured peach the size of a bowl and tossed it over.

The Four-eared Spirit Monkey opened its mouth, which produced a suction force, pulling the peach into its mouth. In but moments, it had swallowed the peach.

“Human, what do you want? If you want to kill me, then just kill me. Tying me up like this, what kind of hero are you?” the Four-eared Spirit Monkey said calmly, its eyes glinting, seemingly thinking about something.

“Nothing much. I just want you to submit to me,” said Chen Feng with a smile.

“Submit to you?!”

Hearing those words, the Four-eared Spirit Monkey instantly barked out loudly. It was as though it had just the funniest joke ever.

“With your current state, you have no way of making me submit to you. You want me to submit to you? Simple. Release me. As long as you can defeat me, I will submit to you. For us yao beasts, might is everything. As long as you can defeat me, you can be my boss,” the Four-eared Spirit Monkey barked out with a laugh.

“If that is the case, you can continue staying here. However, I will not mistreat you. Here, this is a bottle of Fasting Pills. It will be enough to last you for quite a while.” Chen Feng tossed out a bottle of medicinal pills before leaving the Longevity Tower.

“It seems subjugating this yao beast will not be as easy as it looks. It looks easy since all I need to do is be stronger than him. However, given my present level of strength, it is likely that I am truly no match for the monkey.” Chen Feng shook his head as a somewhat helpless feeling rose within him.

“If that is the case, I will first consider it as raising a pet. Once I am strong enough, I will subjugate him,” said Chen Feng with a smile.

Then, Chen Feng stepped on the Overwhelming Astral Sword and began driving the flying sword through the sky. Mountain peaks and the various ancient, towering trees zoomed by beneath his feet. Shifting his gaze towards the distant horizon, he observed the rolling mountains. Various flying creatures would dart in and out of his sight every now and again.

His eyes could gaze a thousand li into the distance, broadening his vision and stirring his heart. Chen Feng could not stop himself from releasing a loud laugh. His mighty laughter rose up to the clouds (1 li = 0.5 km).

At that moment, Chen Feng felt a harmonious feeling within his heart, his thoughts clear and his spirits lifted. As a result, his state of mind underwent a slight improvement.

“Driving a flying sword to cover ten thousand li in a single day while appreciating the white and ephemeral clouds, a journey through a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers. This is the dream of who knows how many men. To think that I can now attain it,” said Chen Feng in excitement.

However, Chen Feng quickly recollected himself.

“He, he! I am just driving a flying sword. This is merely a way of moving around. This is just the first step on my dao of cultivation. A Concealed stage cultivator like me is probably at the lowest level compared to those in this world, no?”

“Where should I go next? Hmm, let’s go deeper into Black Origin Mountain Range and explore around.” After saying that, Chen Feng sped up and his figure flew across another mountain in the blink of an eye.

It is said that there are Great Yaos and Yao Kings who can take on human forms deep within Black Origin Mountain Range. I wonder if it is true? If it is true, I will need to be very careful. Chen Feng thought to himself.
