Chapter 62: Gathering of Loose Cultivators (1/2)

Looking at the harmless appearance that Ye Ziming was displaying, Chen Feng felt amused. Although he had no idea what was truly lurking within this person’s heart, the smile on his face was truly convincing.

“That is a good idea. If that is the case, I thank Brother Ye for your good intentions,” said Chen Feng with a smile.

“Excellent! In that case, we will become partners through life and death in the future. Come, then. Let’s go meet up with the others.” Having received Chen Feng’s agreement, the smile on Ye Ziming’s face grew.

“I wonder, how long have Brother Ye been here?” Chen Feng asked in a casual manner. He wanted to use this opportunity to gain some insight as to what was happening.

“Including today, it has been three days. I received news the moment the Six Great Sky Grottoes made their move. Truth be told, I was in no way slower compared to them. However, my personal strength is weak and I have no way of competing against them. I had spent the past few days making contact with quite a number of loose cultivators. By uniting them together, we can field a fairly significant level of power. I am, however, curious as to Brother Chen’s origins. You appear quite familiar with this place,” said Ye Ziming with a smile.

Even those from the Six Great Sky Grottoes have come. I wonder, will Bai Ziyan appear as well? Bai Ziyan’s graceful figure, her white, fluttering clothes appeared within Chen Feng’s mind.

The Six Great Sky Grottoes consisted of: Extensive Truth Sky Grotto, Watermoon Sky Grotto, Purplecloud Sky Grotto, Goldenlight Sky Grotto, Yin Yang Sky Grotto and Jade Ding Sky Grotto.

The past Chen Feng did not know about that. However, after his chat with Bai Ziyan, he had obtained a general understanding of the Eternal World. Not to mention, Chen Feng also had some books describing some of the details of the world on his person.

For ordinary humans, the Six Great Sky Grottoes were highly exalted immortal dao sects, ethereal and mysterious in quality. And yet, all the veterans of the cultivation world knew that the Six Great Sky Grottoes were but the lowest layer of existence within the cultivation world. Only those with Immortal Humans within the sect could be considered a true immortal dao sect.

Having said that, the Six Great Sky Grottoes were still existences with quite the deterring force when facing loose cultivators at the Concealed stage. Moreover, the Six Great Sky Grottoes were backed by true immortal dao sects. Thus, some loose cultivators would hesitate getting into a fight with the Six Great Sky Grottoes.

“He he, I had practiced cultivation here for quite some time. So, I am a little familiar with the terrain here. I wonder, where did Brother Ye come from?” Chen Feng responded with a smile.

“I come from the Central Plains.” When Ye Ziming said that, the smile on his face mysteriously vanished and his whole person fell into a state of silence. Seeing that surprised Chen Feng, who did not understand what had happened to Ye Ziming. However, Chen Feng did not further question him. Since he was unwilling to talk about it, Chen Feng chose not to say anything.

After making their way through around 10 li, they reached an open space. At that juncture, Ye Ziming’s face regained its smile and his whole body seemingly grew relaxed (1 li = 0.5 km).

“Fellows, I am back,” Ye Ziming called out loudly.

Only then did Chen Feng realize that there were several cultivators gathered there. There were males and females of varying sizes and attire. However, all of them shared one similar detail. All of them were loose cultivators. Additionally, they were all at the Concealed stage.

Seeing Ye Ziming and Chen Feng’s arrival, the cultivators turned their attention towards them. At that same moment, Chen Feng sensed tens of gazes falling upon him, all attempting to check his cultivation base.

Chen Feng quickly willed himself to seal up his sea of wisdom and Heavenly Origin acupoint, causing the energy movement within his body to furiously weaken. As expected, most of the gazes inspecting him turned contemptuous. Even so, there were several others whose eyes remained upon his person, seemingly wanting to see right through him.

“Ye Ziming, what took you so long? We have been waiting a long time for you. Also, is this someone you recruited? He has only just broken through to the Concealed stage. He will be of no help to us. Rather, he will end up becoming a burden,” one of them said with a sullen smile.

The one who spoke up was a 30-year-old or so cultivator with a pale face. His eyes flashed with ferocity and he cast a mean look at Chen Feng.

This person’s blood energy is exuberant while his primary energy is teeming. His divine sense is one level higher than mine. He should be at level 2 of the Concealed stage. Chen Feng thought to himself.

“Ha ha ha, Brother Liu sure can jest. With one extra member, our power increases. Besides, Brother Chen here is also a worthy cultivator. Surely, Brother Liu will not begrudge increasing the strength of our group?” replied Ye Ziming with a smile.

“Brother Ye is right. All of us here are loose cultivators. This is the time to band together. How else could we snatch the Spring of Life from the Six Great Sky Grottoes?” a two-metre tall fellow spoke out with a dull tone.

“The more we have, the stronger we become. I welcome the addition of this fellow Daoist,” said one of them with a smile.

“Well, then. Liu Sheng, enough. Ye Ziming has recruited a good number of people and increased the strength of our group considerably. Next up, we will need to stay united,” a sallow-faced cultivator spoke up. After he spoke up, the earlier cultivator shut his mouth. Clearly, he was somewhat fearful of the sallow-faced cultivator.

This fellow is strong.

Chen Feng gave the sallow-faced cultivator a glance. The impression he gave was that of a deep ocean. Not a wisp of aura emanated out from him. A perfunctory glance would have only informed Chen Feng that he was an ordinary human. However, the moment he cast a profound gaze at the sallow-faced cultivator, he felt a suction force emerge from the cultivator’s body, sucking in his gaze.
