Chapter 975 Distress Call from Liu Wuxiang

Translator: podao001

Those six Ascendant Immortals were not the only ones cultivating inside the Longevity Tower. In order to improve the East Dragon Island Alliance’s strength, Chen Feng had decided to invest a great deal more into this. He had selected some of the more talented members from the East Dragon Island Alliance and have them cultivate inside the Longevity Tower. Every once in a while, a batch of cultivators would be rotated in. Cultivating inside a Divine artifact. It was something that even Ascendant Immortals and True Immortals would kill for. Additionally, Chen Feng was also providing them with some cultivation supplies.

Chen Feng had only just said that when the Longevity Tower shook slightly. Next, two cultivators flew out. Without saying a word, the two flew into the far-ocean region.

“Ha ha ha! Those two are elders of my Eternal Academy! They are going to advance to the Ascendant Immortal stage!” Heavenly Premier Eternal, who would usually display a calm demeanour, revealed a proud smile.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Three more cultivators flew out. One of them was from East Dragon Island while the other two were from Heavenly Sword Faction and Extreme Celestial Sect.

“In the past, even catching a glimpse of an Earthen Immortal was a rarity, let alone an Ascendant Immortal, but now Ascendant Immortals have become like cabbages,” Heavenly Premier Absolute said with a smile.

The stronger their forces became, the more delighted they became. That said, this also proved that a great chaos was about to unfold within Eternal World.

Patriarch Carefree and the other five Ascendant Immortals’ breakthrough to the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage was already a sure thing. Thus, Chen Feng did not feel too concerned for them.

While the talented, handpicked cultivators were given the chance to cultivate in the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng also did not forget about the others. He brought out the Immortal Skylodge Palace for them. Upon establishing the East Dragon Island Alliance, Chen Feng had placed the Immortal Skylodge Palace on East Dragon Island to help defend it. At the same time, the immortal palace also served as Chen Feng’s place of residence in East Dragon Island. Speaking of which, Chen Feng was an Island Lord, after all. At that very moment, he was the Alliance Lord, a highly exalted position. Thus, a certain display of his position was necessary.

The immortal palace contained a world of its own. Thus, there was quite a number of cultivators cultivating inside it as well. Naturally, only those that Chen Feng trusted were allowed to cultivate there.

This action from Chen Feng motivated the other Ascendant Immortals. In order to improve the strength of their disciples and family members, the Ascendant Immortals also chose to invest in this path of development. Those with immortal palaces would bring them out and those with immortal pills, spiritual herbs, etc would bring them out. Seeing that caused Chen Feng to secretly tut to himself. As expected, these old geezers sure have some assets.

Next up, the East Dragon Island Alliance dispatched some cultivators out, joining forces with the blood cultivators to begin attacking the world of cultivation at an increased pace. In just a short time, they had managed to take over a territory spanning a distance of several million li. In the beginning, the East Dragon Island Alliance’s actions of allying with a force from another world triggered some unrest. Some other forces banded together, calling the entire world of cultivation to take military action against East Dragon Island. However, in the world of cultivation, strength was the most important criteria. Moreover, the world of cultivation was still in a state of chaos. Due to that, the calls for a military action against East Dragon Island failed to do anything. Rather, the East Dragon Island Alliance made use of their actions to take over some more territories instead.

To Chen Feng’s surprise, after East Dragon Island entered an alliance with the cultivators from the Blood Plane, Heavenly Firmaments Palace’s actions ceased. The momentum behind their expansion efforts ceased as well. Even when the East Dragon Island Alliance made use of the opportunity to snatch some of its territories, Heavenly Firmaments Palace remained still.

In the beginning, Chen Feng had considered heading out to investigate the issue. However, after reconsidering it, Heavenly Firmaments Palace not doing anything was for the better. That way, he would have time to develop his own forces.

And so, Chen Feng ignored Heavenly Firmaments Palace. Truth be told, East Dragon Island already had its hands full with the situation in the Central Plains. At any rate, the Central Plains was simply too big. Some hidden sects and alliances there were simply too large. While none of them could take on the East Dragon Island Alliance on their own, their combined might was quite concerning. It would be a serious problem if they attacked the East Dragon Island Alliance while they were fighting a war with Heavenly Firmaments Palace.

The cultivators cultivating inside the Longevity Tower kept experiencing breakthroughs and even the sects that joined the East Dragon Island Alliance later had Ascendant Immortals pop out from the Longevity Tower. Seeing that, Patriarch Carefree and the others ended up smiling happily. They were all aware of what it meant to have an Ascendant Immortal.

When the number of Ascendant Immortals in the East Dragon Island Alliance reached 50, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Rather, Chen Feng even felt a desire to gather up all the Ascendant Immortals to flatten Heavenly Firmaments Palace.

Next up, no large-scale events occurred. Thus, after staying in East Dragon Island for some time, Chen Feng’s thoughts began running amok again. He wondered if he should return to the Spirit Essence Tower for an adventure.

The Spirit Essence Tower had a total of 18 floors. So far, Chen Feng had already gone all the way up to the 14th floor. Back then, Chen Feng, who had only just reached the Earthen Immortal stage, had felt a mountainous pressure on the 14th floor. Due to that, he was unable to advance any further. It was for that reason that he had chosen to leave the Spirit Essence Tower back then. The present Chen Feng, though, had advanced by another level and had become over 10 times stronger.

The 12th, 13th and 14th floor of the Spirit Essence Tower were filled with Heavenly Tribulation powers. Thus, Chen Feng speculated that the same should be true for the 15th floor. As the Essence Spirit Bead in his hand had already become a mid-grade Immortal artifact, levelling up further was quite difficult for it. But Chen Feng possessed other magic treasures on his person. The environment there was the best for them to level up. Additionally, Chen Feng also wanted to see how strong he had become. Back then, Chen Feng had to rely on the Longevity Tower’s power to stay on the 14th floor. Now that he had advanced to the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage, Chen Feng believed that he should be able to endure the harsh environment with his fleshly body alone.

Once the thought appeared in his mind, it continued to swell, becoming unstoppable. Thus, Chen Feng began making some arrangements to leave for the Spirit Essence Tower. Unexpectedly, as he was about to head out, something interrupted his plan.

“Eh?” Chen Feng waved his hand and the fragment of an item appeared on his palm. This item did not appear particularly large. And yet, it contained a formidable magnetic power. Furthermore, it was even heavier than a 10,000-zhang-tall mountain.

“Liu Wuxiang is contacting me. That’s strange. Didn’t he return to the Immortal Plane already?” Chen Feng felt puzzled. When he received the message that Liu Wuxiang sent over, Chen Feng’s face took on a serious expression.

“He actually came to Eternal World, but is now trapped. He is in danger!” After considering it for a moment, Chen Feng quickly made up his mind. Making use of East Dragon Island’s teleportation array, he travelled straight to a large city in the Western Regions.

Speaking of which, this was Chen Feng’s first time in the Western Regions. The Central Plains was a bustling place while the Northern Plains was comparatively more remote. As for the Western Regions, it was comparatively more desolate. On the other hand, it was much larger, at least twice the size of the Northern Plains. Even though there were also many sects here, there were not many first-rate forces. That said, when compared to the forces in the other regions, some of the forces here were more mysterious.

Chen Feng did not dawdle. After exiting the teleportation array, he swiftly left the city. Making sure he had the right direction, he then flew forward.

Although this was his first time visiting the Western Regions, he had the map of the entire Eternal World committed into his sea of wisdom. Additionally, Chen Feng’s divine sense could scan up to a radius of five million kilometres. Thus, he would not get lost in Eternal World.

This Liu Wuxiang is quite a mysterious fellow. There is an Immortal artifact sealed inside him and he cultivates a very high-grade immortal technique. Even his cultivation talent is quite good. I think he also has some special genes within him. His rate of cultivation should not be lower than mine. I wonder, what level has he reached now?

There is also the matter of him trapped here in Eternal World. The one behind it must be at least an Ascendant Immortal. Looks like I should exercise caution. Chen Feng pondered the issue and it did not take long before he reached the place that Liu Wuxiang mentioned.

Laid out before him was an endless desert. The winds and sands rolled about and hurricanes that could move even boulders weighing up to 5,000 kilogrammes moved about the place. The Western Regions was truly a desolate place. At the very least, there was no one staying anywhere within a radius of half a million kilometres from Chen Feng’s position.

“It’s here.” After saying that, Chen Feng used his eye technique. With that, the panorama before him immediately transformed. A thick layer of barrier appeared before his eyes.

“The barrier of a pocket dimension.” After saying that, Chen Feng took a step forward. Like flowing water, his body slowly melded into the barrier. Chen Feng was capable of deploying the Heavenstealing Technique. Thus, he was not fearful that his actions of entering the pocket dimension would be found out. In his opinion, even if he were to be found out, he could simply fight the other party.

After making his way through the barrier, Chen Feng entered a whole new world. Unlike the highly desolate desert outside, this place was full of life.

It is indeed a pocket dimension. Only, it is slightly bigger compared to the pocket dimensions I had encountered in the past. Eh? No, this is more like a bodily world! Chen Feng’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Silky black lines emerged from space to swirl around Chen Feng. With his sharp eyes, Chen Feng was able to tell that the black likes were formed from wondrous runes.

“Shifting Runes!”

Chen Feng was shocked. Should the black lines make contact with him, he would be shifted over to another place.

“Chen Feng, be careful!” A wave of divine sense suddenly made its way into Chen Feng’s sea of wisdom.

It’s Liu Wuxiang’s voice.

The black lines then moved to intersect one another, but Chen Feng had disappeared. Next, he re-appeared somewhere 50 kilometres away, the Steel Enigma Sword in hand. With a quick slash, all the black lines pursuing him were cut apart. Following that, Chen Feng waved and the Dragon Tiger Seal appeared in his hand.

The Dragon Tiger Seal rapidly grew in size, releasing a sky-shaking roar as it did. This Immortal artifact was forged by devouring a high number of the essence of tigers and souls of dragons. Thus, this roar of tigers and dragons could be used to kill off countless Earthen Immortals. Even Ascendant Immortals would be affected by the roar.

Boom!

Like a massive meteor, the Dragon Tiger Seal smashed down heavily against the ground, causing the entire pocket dimension to quake.

“Good, Brother Chen! Good job!” Liu Wuxiang’s voice came again from afar.

Hearing Liu Wuxiang’s voice, Chen Feng felt relieved. “What exactly is going on here?”

The Dragon Tiger Seal rapidly shrank to fly back into Chen Feng’s hand, where it radiated power – the power of an Immortal artifact – to block the surrounding power of laws.

This was something of a small world that a high-level cultivator had created, containing its very own laws. Thus, outsiders would end up facing a suppressive effect inside.

“Be careful! This is a world that a high-level Ascendant Immortal created. His will is still inside. Additionally, there are also some cultivators from the Immortal Plane here. Back then, we got careless and fell into their trap!” Liu Wuxiang said.

“We? You did not come here alone?” Chen Feng asked.

“Of course not. I have three friends here with me. They are all from the Immortal Plane.”
