Chapter 796 Opening a Passageway (2/2)

The Divine Phantom Mink and Hell Dog turned and the lances in their hands shot out simultaneously – one from the left and one from the right – to stab the void blade.

Boom!

It was something of an indirect collision between three Immortal artefacts. The resulting shockwaves resembled the explosion of a planet and a chaotic power of the void swirled about.

Even Chen Feng’s group was affected by the shockwaves. However, the shockwaves actually accelerated their rate of advance.

“We’re out!”

Ye Ziming cried out and the passageway disappeared all of a sudden. Next, Chen Feng found himself surrounded by nothingness. Turning around to check his surroundings, Chen Feng then saw stars flashing about far away. He released his divine sense and found asteroids floating about in the distance. Instantly, Chen Feng knew that they had arrived in outer space.

“We’re in outer space!” Chen Feng was shocked.

“We are indeed in outer space,” the Hell Dog said.

Generally speaking, in order to fly out from his or her home world to explore outer space, a cultivator must first be at the Earthen Immortal stage. Naturally, it was also possible to accomplish that with a cultivation base at the high-level Human Immortal stage. However, the chances of a high-level Human Immortal surviving in outer space was very small.

All else aside, even the occasional asteroid could potentially kill off the Human Immortal, let alone the turbulent void streams capable of tearing space. There were also highly destructive void storms and special danger zones filled with wonders and dangers littered across outer space.

Outer space was a vast and endless place. There were many areas that could kill off even Immortal Humans with cultivation bases surpassing the Ascendant Immortal stage. As for cultivators at Chen Feng’s level, the starter-level Human Immortal stage, heading to outer space was practically suicide.

Naturally, it would be a different story if that cultivator possessed high-grade magic treasures to protect themselves.

Suddenly, the semi-transparent lances in the Divine Phantom Mink and Hell Dog’s hands shook a few times before gradually dimming away, like a candlelight going out.

“This is?” Ye Ziming, who did not understand what was happening, felt somewhat confused.

“Those aren’t real Immortal artefacts. They’re just replicas split out from the real deal,” Chen Feng said.

“So, that’s how it is.” Ye Ziming nodded.

“Fellow seniors, you two should head to the tower and rest up,” Chen Feng said, waving his hand as he linked up to the Longevity Tower. Next, the Divine Phantom Mink and Hell Dog disappeared.

“What we need to do right now is to open up another spatial passageway and return to Eternal World. I believe Brother Ye will be able to do that, no?” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“That’s not a problem.” Ye Ziming nodded. Next, the geomantic compass in his hand quickly spun and strands of wondrous spatial laws emerged to rapidly construct a stable spatial passageway.

“Let’s go!”

The two of them entered the spatial passageway. This time, their trip with the passageway was practically identical to that of a teleportation array. Only, one was opened using the power of magic arrays while this one was opened using the power of a magic treasure.

After returning to Eternal World, the two of them found themselves somewhere within the Xu Family’s territory. However, they were already far away from Void City. After that, they found some other cultivators to make some inquiries and found out that the Xu Family cultivators were in the midst of reorganizing Void City. At the same time, they had also sent out some men to declare that Chen Feng and Ye Ziming were wanted men.

“Where should we go now? This is the Xu Family’s territory. If someone discovers us, I fear that we will get into trouble,” Ye Ziming said, a note of concern in his tone.

“No worries, we can head to my place,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“You mean, head back to the Northern Plains? By the way, Brother Chen, how did you end up coming to the Central Plains? Also, your cultivation base?”

“What? Have you not heard what happened at all? Forget it. Let’s talk about you first. How long were you locked up by the Xu Family?”

“On the second year after I returned from the Northern Plains, I was locked up. I have been a prisoner all this time,” Ye Ziming said with a bitter smile.

“You were imprisoned for so long? No wonder you do not know about my situation. Also, there is your cultivation base. As I recall, back when we parted ways, you were only at level 4 of the Concealed stage. And yet, you are now already at the Human Immortal stage. From what I can see, this monstrous rate of cultivation must be related to the geomantic compass in your hand, right?” Chen Feng said smilingly as he looked at the geomantic compass in Ye Ziming’s hand.

“Brother Chen’s guess is spot on. The reason I can reach this level today is all thanks to this magic treasure. It is also the reason why I was imprisoned.” Ye Ziming turned to look at the geomantic compass in his hand and a wry smile appeared on his face.

“Brother Ye is truly lucky to be able to obtain an Immortal artefact. Your ascension to the Immortal Plane should be just a matter of time. However, this geomantic compass should be somehow related to the Void Geocompass belonging to the Xu Family, right?” Chen Feng and Ye Ziming were bosom friends with a deep level of friendship. Thus, there was no such thing as a taboo subject between them.

Ye Ziming took a deep breath and said, “Your guess is correct. To be precise, this magic treasure in my hand is the Void Geocompass.”

“Oh!” Chen Feng nodded and he waited for Ye Ziming to continue.

“As I mentioned before, the Void Geocompass of the Xu Family is incomplete. This geomantic compass in my hand had been split out from the Void Geocompass in the past. It could be considered as a fragment, comparable to one third of the whole. This is also the reason why it could not truly block the attacks from the Xu Family earlier.

“Ever since I obtained this geomantic compass, it had become one with my soul. Thus, the Xu Family was incapable of simply snatching it away from me. If they were to kill me, this fragment of the Void Geocompass would simply disappear into the void. As it so happens, I am a member of a side branch of the Xu Family that had been subjected to bullying since a young age. Thus, they believed that the best way to deal with me was to temporarily lock me up. Once they find a way to snatch the geomantic compass from me, they would kill me. Then, their Void Geocompass would be returned to its full power and the Xu Family’s strength would rise by one whole level.”

“That’s why. Although I have managed to escape, the Xu Family will continue to pursue me to the very ends of the earth.”

“You just need to be strong enough. Then, not only will there be no need to fear their pursuit, you can also snatch the main fragment of the Void Geocompass from them. After fusing them together and making it yours, you will possess a complete Immortal artefact,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.
