Chapter 930 Undergoing Tribulation (1/2)
“Heh! In the beginning, two hidden sects thought about stirring up trouble in our Absolute Mountain Range, but our academy dispatched some elders forward to kill off everyone they sent. Those killed include 20 Earthen Immortals. These days, what can 20 Earthen Immortals do?” The one who spoke was a high-level Human Immortal. He sported an ordinary face, but the words coming out from his mouth were anything but ordinary. And yet, even if others were to learn that he had said those words, no one would think that he was boasting.
His name was Wu Hua. It was an ordinary name, but his path of cultivation was extraordinary. He possessed astonishing talent and an exceptional combat power. He also possessed a spiritual root.
“It can be considered as making an example of them. Now that the entire world of cultivation is in a state of chaos, some sects are just outrageous. Take that Ghost King Sect as an example. They cultivate wicked secret techniques that actually involves devouring the souls of ordinary humans. A few days ago, I had joined up with several of my fellow brothers to investigate them. We ended up clashing with them once. I have to say, that Ghost King Sect does have some experts on their side.” This time, the one who spoke up was Marquis Scarletfire. He was something of an old friend by now. After the Planar War, he had successfully advanced to the high-level Human Immortal stage.
“This is all due to the Planar war. According to the records of old, the same thing happened in the past. Our Four Great Academies had slowly risen to power under such circumstances. The unfolding chaos will likely continue for a thousand years,” Lan Ling said.
At that very moment, Lan Ling’s disposition appeared to have changed somewhat. She appeared more ordinary and reserved. Even so, Chen Feng could sense the terrifying power inside her.
Originally, Chen Feng had assumed that, through the Planar War, advancing by one level to the mid-level Human Immortal stage was already quite a good accomplishment for Lan Ling. Unexpectedly, during that 100 years, she actually advanced by two levels, going up to the high-level Human Immortal stage. Her combat power was on par with Marquis Scarletfire.
Worthy of the bearer of a special constitution. Her rate of cultivation is so much faster compared to other cultivators. Chen Feng felt his heart stirring.
“A thousand years. Not necessarily. This time’s Planar War seems somewhat different compared to the past. So many sects with a legacy of several million years had fallen this time. Something like this has never happened before in ages past.”
“The Four Great Academies are taking the high road here. They just need to keep on recruiting highly-talented cultivators. That said, this chaos has actually affected our academy somewhat. Some fellow students who had been focused on cultivating themselves within our academy had chosen to return to their homes.”
This time, a total of 30 cultivators had come from Absolute Academy to visit Chen Feng. Most of them were those with good relationships with Chen Feng. After discussing with them for a bit, Chen Feng gradually came to understand the purpose of their visit. Some of the cultivators in Absolute Academy were already growing restless. They wanted to get a piece of the pie from this period of chaos, but the higher-ups of Absolute Academy did not agree with them. Due to that, they began searching for other avenues to accomplish that. Some decided to join forces to do it themselves and some returned to their sects. This group was quite sizable and they immediately thought of Chen Feng. In recent years, East Dragon Island’s reputation had been growing greater and greater. It was such that others wouldn’t dare look down on it.
“I understand your intentions. Recently, East Dragon Island’s forces have been engaged in some lengthy wars. It just so happens that we need to seek help. Your arrival is most timely. In three days, with Patriarch Golden Turtle leading the charge, we will be attacking Turbid Heaven Pavilion. When the time comes, your help will be needed,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
“Ha ha ha! Senior Brother Chen, don’t mention it.”
Originally, Chen Feng had wanted to personally join the battle against Turbid Heaven Pavilion. However, now that the students from Absolute Academy had decided to join the battle, Chen Feng decided to refrain from joining the battle. Turbid Heaven Pavilion can already be considered as a first-rate sect. Thus, sending his subordinates alone for the fight would definitely end with a bitter battle.
Absolute Academy’s side will be sending over 100 Human Immortals for this, helping him immensely. Thus, when the deed was done, sharing the rewards was only right.
Truth be told, Chen Feng had been waiting, waiting for the chaos in the world of cultivation to become even worse, waiting for the Three Palaces to play their cards. He had East Dragon Island accumulate a formidable power of its own. It had one purpose, to charge out during that critical moment. The billion plus spirit stones that Chen Feng had spent during all these years would not be for naught.
An endless stream of cultivators emerged from East Dragon Island’s territory, heading inland to seize even more territory. Chen Feng, on the other hand, headed into the far ocean region. That place had become unstable once again.
Chen Feng did not bring anyone with him. Going at it alone, he slaughtered formidable water yaos and water monsters without respite. In one year, the number of Yao Immortals to fall under Chen Feng’s hand numbered over 100. Due to that, everyone in the ocean region within a radius of 50 million kilometres came to know that the Island Lord of East Dragon Island was exceptionally formidable and ruthless. Several times, many Yao Immortals had joined forces to besiege Chen Feng. In the end, however, Chen Feng had killed them all, picking them off one at a time. Due to that, East Dragon Island’s power grew once again.
Chen Feng searched the oceans for danger zones to train himself. After devouring several maelstroms, the top-grade Dao artifact, Deepsea Maelstrom, finally levelled up to become a low-grade Immortal artifact. Not long after that, the Treasured Ocean Pearl and Aquafire Lance also underwent their Heavenly Tribulations to become low-grade Immortal artifacts.
One by one, the three Dao artifacts levelled up to become Immortal artifacts. Due to that, Chen Feng was finally incapable of holding himself back. The power within him charged out like an erupting volcano. After rising to its limits, it did not stop. And so, Chen Feng began his tribulation in the far ocean.
Undergo Heavenly Tribulation and advance to the Earthen Immortal stage!
