Chapter 875
Aunt
When Chen Feng arrived at the exit of the Desolate Sky Mountain Range, the three magic ships of the Three Saints Sect had already docked there.
"Junior Brother Wang, come here quickly!"
Jiang Ming waved to Chen Feng from the French ship.
Chen Feng immediately flew to the Dharma ship. Many people had already returned from the Dharma ship, but everyone's expressions were unusually solemn.
Chen Feng asked Jiang Ming, "What happened?"
Jiang Ming answered in a low voice:
"Just now, Senior Brother Jiang and his group encountered people from the Blood Demon Palace."
Jiang Ming gave a brief explanation of the situation.
Chen Feng appropriately revealed a look of shock: "This Blood Demon Palace actually dared to kill my sect's Dao Integration Ancestor? Do they want to provoke a war between the two sects?"
"Who knows? The vice sect leader came over in person just now. According to him, the Dao Integration cultivator from the Blood Demon Palace is likely a fourth or even fifth-step Dao Integration expert. The sect has already begun to gather disciples who are away. It seems that a great war between the two sects is really about to begin!"
Jiang Ming's face was full of worry. In the great battle between the top forces, they, as disciples, were the most unsafe.
He had a very ordinary background, not as good as Wang Ping, so he was very worried about his situation.
Upon hearing the name "Vice Sect Master," Chen Feng was secretly alarmed.
Fortunately, I had retreated quickly enough. If I had encountered a fifth-step Dao Integration cultivator at the level of a vice sect leader, it wouldn't have been an easy thing to escape.
Chen Feng then inquired about the details of the incident from Jiang Ming.
But Jiang Ming didn't know much either, he only gave a general overview.
Time passed slowly, and the true disciples who had gone out all returned.
Once everyone had arrived, the three Dharma ships did not linger and immediately returned to the Three Saints Sect's mountain gate.
Compared to the lively atmosphere on the way there, the atmosphere on the French ship on the way back was not very good.
Everyone realized that what had happened likely meant that the Three Saints Sect would go to war with the Blood Demon Palace.
At that time, these disciples will have to fight for the sect.
Of all the people present, only Chen Feng remained unconcerned. After chatting with Jiang Ming for a while, he returned to his pavilion on the Dharma Ship and began cultivating the Dao of Severance.
But as soon as he returned to his room, a woman appeared silently in front of him.
Upon seeing the woman, Chen Feng was immediately taken aback.
The woman frowned: "What? You don't even call me 'Auntie' anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng finally remembered who the woman was, and he immediately said:
"How could this be? I'm just surprised that you're here, Auntie."
The woman before him was none other than Wang Lanyue.
She is currently the person with the highest status in the Wang family within the Three Saints Sect. She also has another identity: Wang Ping's aunt.
Someone like Wang Ping, who has poor talent and doesn't work hard in cultivation, was able to become a true disciple in a top-tier power like the Three Saints Sect, all thanks to this person.
Wang Lanyue's cultivation has reached the third step of the Dao Integration stage.
However, because Wang Lanyue had a conflict with the Wang family in her early years, she basically does not acknowledge that she is a member of the Wang family to the outside world.
The only thing that Wang Lanyue cared about was the child left behind by her sister.
This is why Wang Ping, a spoiled brat, was able to surpass the other geniuses in the Wang family and become the heir to the family head position.
With such a virtuous aunt, it would be strange if the Wang family didn't choose Wang Ping as their heir.
Wang Lanyue walked to the table and sat down, then said:
"I happened to be away this time, and knowing you were here, I came to check on you. Have you had any questions about your cultivation lately?"
Unlike Wang Yanran, Wang Lanyue was not cold and indifferent; she was very gentle in her attitude towards Wang Ping.
Whenever she had free time, Wang Lanyue would come to see Wang Ping and give him some guidance on his cultivation.
Chen Feng knew so much because when he interrogated Wang Ping, he focused on questioning Wang Lanyue.
After all, since it involves cultivators who have reached the Dao Integration stage, it would be easy to expose flaws if we did not interrogate them thoroughly.
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said:
"I do have some doubts. I just received the Dao of Severance from the Transmission Pavilion a few days ago, but when I practiced it according to the description in the Dao, I did not feel the rules mentioned in the Dao. What's going on?"
This was indeed Chen Feng's question. He had been practicing the Dao of Severance for several days, but he hadn't even scratched the surface.
Wang Lanyue comes from Duan Tian Peak and is extremely familiar with the Dao of Severance, so asking her is undoubtedly the best option.
Wang Lanyue didn't seem surprised; she began to explain:
“Laws and rules are different. Even if a cultivator has poor talent, he can still comprehend laws with the help of some spiritual objects. But rules belong to another kind of Dao. To comprehend rules, one needs comprehension and state of mind.”
"Comprehension is innate and cannot be changed. The only thing you can change is your state of mind. If you can bring your mind to the realm of spiritual wandering, you will be able to discover the rules."
"Actually, you don't need to rush. For you now, what's more important is to improve your cultivation level, not to practice Taoist techniques."
"What is 'spiritual travel in the void'?" Chen Feng asked, getting to the crucial point.
Wang Lanyue glanced at Chen Feng, somewhat surprised that her nephew had become so studious; he rarely asked her these kinds of questions before.
However, seeing that the other person had changed, she was still very happy, and she patiently explained:
"To wander in the vast emptiness is a manifestation of a state of mind that has reached an extremely profound level."
"When your mind reaches this level, you can merge your mind with the universe and see many things that you can't see normally, including the rules."
After listening to Wang Lanyue's words, Chen Feng fell into deep thought.
His mental state was indeed not good.
Although his previous experience in the illusionary realm had greatly improved his mental state, he was still far inferior to those ancient monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
“There’s no need to rush into cultivating Taoist techniques; let’s focus on improving our cultivation level first,” Wang Lanyue added.
Chen Feng nodded: "I understand."
Wang Lanyue then tossed out a storage ring: "There are some spiritual items inside that can help you comprehend the laws. You are now in the Nascent Soul stage, which is the time to lay a solid foundation, so don't slack off."
Chen Feng didn't refuse; he directly accepted the storage ring and said:
"Auntie, I originally planned to go into seclusion for a while, but something big happened in the sect recently, and I don't know if I will still be able to cultivate."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lanyue waved her hand:
"You can go into seclusion to cultivate. I will inform the Affairs Hall that no sect missions will be assigned to you."
"Thank you very much, Auntie."
Chen Feng thought to himself, "Having connections really makes a difference."
The Three Saints Sect is about to go to war with the Blood Demon Palace, but Wang Lanyue can prevent his nephew from participating in this battle.
No matter where you are, you still need your background and connections.
Chen Feng couldn't help but think of himself again. It seemed that he hadn't relied on anyone along the way.
No, Yinyin should be counted.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. There are still matters to attend to at the sect. If you need anything, just use the jade talisman to contact me."
Wang Lanyue didn't stay long; she gave a brief explanation and then left.
Chen Feng originally wanted to ask Wang Lanyue about things outside the Xuanhuang Realm.
As a Dao Integration cultivator, the other party must know some secrets.
However, considering that such a thing might arouse suspicion from the other party, he decided to wait until later.
Wang Ping's change cannot be too sudden; it must be done step by step.
At present, he has only changed some of Wang Ping's personality traits, and the reason for the change is quite sufficient, namely, the blow he suffered in the True Inheritance Competition, which led to a change in his mentality.
This model of a loser rising to power is acceptable.
But it would be very unusual for him to ask about things outside the Xuanhuang Realm. "Traveling in the vast void, merging with the universe."
Chen Feng recalled what Wang Lanyue had just said: "To travel in spirit is to merge one's mind with the universe."
Although his mindset was far from that point, he thought of the power of the stars.
Whenever he activates the star array within his body and draws upon the power of the stars in the heavens, he feels incredibly close to the universe, as if he were a part of it.
If I were in that state, would I be able to perceive the rules?
However, Chen Feng did not try it now.
With the power of the stars in the heavens, his aura will undergo a significant change.
There might be some powerful old monsters hiding on this ship; it's better to be safe and wait until we get back to Earth to test it.
A day later, the three Dharma ships returned to the Three Saints Sect without incident.
The Three Saints Sect was clearly different from usual at this moment.
The array at the mountain gate has been activated, and the entire Three Saints Sect has entered a somber atmosphere.
Besides these three Dharma ships, there were other Dharma ships that were successively returning to the sect from outside.
After the Dharma ship returned to the Three Saints Sect, Chen Feng returned to his cave alone.
But as soon as he arrived at the cave, he saw Wang Yanran standing in front of it.
Wang Yanran's expression remained indifferent. Upon seeing Chen Feng, she spoke directly:
"The sect's higher-ups have issued an order that all disciples above the Nascent Soul stage must go out and clear out the Blood Demon Hall cultivators within the Divine Continent. You will be coming with me on this mission."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng shook his head:
"No, I plan to go into seclusion to cultivate recently."
Wang Yanran frowned, about to speak, but Chen Feng interrupted her:
"I've already spoken to my aunt about this, and she's agreed."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanran looked surprised:
"Your aunt agrees that you can cultivate instead of going on missions?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Mm."
Wang Yanran gave Chen Feng a deep look: "Originally, I planned to take you out to gain experience, but since you intend to cultivate, then stay in the sect."
Wang Yanran didn't say much and then left.
Watching Wang Yanran's departing figure, Chen Feng shook his head.
After the sect issued the mission to go out and eliminate the Blood Demon Hall cultivators, the woman came to him immediately and asked him to go out with her.
It was clearly an attempt to protect his safety.
At this moment, Chen Feng felt a little envious of Wang Ping.
Not only does she have a sharp-tongued but kind-hearted older sister, but she also has an aunt with the cultivation level of the Dao Integration Realm. This kind of second-generation rich kid doesn't have to worry about anything from the moment they are born.
The feeling of being cared for by family members also deeply moved Chen Feng.
His only relative on Earth was an aunt.
But I haven't seen that aunt for decades, and she's no different from a stranger to me.
Chen Feng had never experienced family affection before.
Without giving it any further thought, Chen Feng headed towards the Bamboo Heart Secret Realm.
Chen Feng is a true disciple, and there are no restrictions on his entry into the Bamboo Heart Secret Realm. He can cultivate there indefinitely, which is a perk of being a true disciple.
After entering the Bamboo Heart Secret Realm with the token, Chen Feng concealed his presence and headed towards the entrance of the Haotian Secret Realm.
Upon arriving near the entrance, Chen Feng scanned the area with his divine sense.
There are two auras near the entrance, both of which are at the Refinement of Void level, and they are obviously assigned to guard this place.
The Haotian Secret Realm had already been investigated last time, so the Three Saints Sect naturally wouldn't take it too seriously. Therefore, they only sent two Void Refinement cultivators to guard it.
It was naturally impossible for two cultivators at the Void Refinement stage to discover Chen Feng.
Without much effort, Chen Feng entered the Haotian Secret Realm through the spatial passage.
The Haotian Secret Realm remained empty, just as before; there wasn't a single person inside.
Chen Feng went directly to the location of the immortal array.
After entering the immortal array, Chen Feng returned to Earth through a spatial passage.
Solar System, Lunar Base.
Two years have passed, and the lunar base has changed a lot.
First of all, the base area has been expanded more than ten times.
Numerous experimental fields have also been established around the surrounding base.
Besides the Xingfeng Group's base, there are other bases established by other countries on the moon today.
The emergence of controlled nuclear fusion technology has given these countries the ability to establish bases on other planets.
The largest number of bases are located on Mars and the Moon.
In addition to military use, there are also civilian tourism bases. Some private enterprises have even built unique space hotels within the bases to facilitate visitor accommodation.
These bases are all very far from Xingfeng Group's bases, and some spaceships don't even dare to fly over Xingfeng Group's bases.
This is also a tacit understanding maintained by various countries.
Xingfeng Group does not participate in politics; it only focuses on research and development of space military applications.
This is what many countries hope to see, and they do not want to break this pattern, so naturally they will not provoke the Xingfeng Group.
At this moment, a large group of robots are building new buildings inside the lunar base.
In the past two years, Lin Wei has recruited many new researchers to Xingfeng Group.
These buildings were prepared for these researchers.
Lin Wei did not impose too many restrictions on these researchers, but allowed them to come and go as they pleased, just like in a regular company.
These researchers were also given seven days of leave each month so they could return to Earth.
As for the issue of leaks, Lin Wei wasn't worried at all.
She used tactics on these people when she was recruiting them.
Whenever these researchers reveal the secrets of the Wind Group to outsiders, their memories are immediately sealed away.
This method is quite simple for a Nascent Soul cultivator like Lin Wei.
Inside the base's living area, Lin Wei and Li Xiaorou were sitting in a café drinking coffee.
The base's living quarters were built in the last two years and are equipped with complete living facilities.
It includes food, lodging, entertainment, and more, serving as a place for the base's researchers and soldiers to relax daily.
"Sister Lin Wei, when is the boss coming back?" Li Xiaorou asked Lin Wei.
Lin Wei smiled helplessly:
"Didn't I tell you already? He's cultivating, and I don't know exactly when he'll be back. Why do you have to ask every time you come over?"
"I just missed my boss. I haven't seen him for two years." Li Xiaorou pouted.
Lin Wei comforted her:
"Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you as soon as he gets back."
Just as the two women were chatting, a voice suddenly rang out from the side:
"Why are you only serving coffee? Didn't you bring anything else?"
Upon hearing this, the two women immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw that someone was standing by the table at some point.
Upon seeing Chen Feng, Li Xiaorou's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up and gave Chen Feng a hug;
"Waaaaah, boss, you're finally back!" (End of Chapter)
