Chapter 879
The Invitation of the Sea Fork Clan
After the cheers below subsided, Wang Fengnuo spoke again.
"I hereby declare the sect competition a complete success. The top ten disciples, please come forward!"
Although Wang Fengnuo is also a second-generation disciple, she has a special status and did not participate in this sect competition. She is now the senior sister of all the second-generation disciples.
Others are second-generation disciples, but she is a true second-generation disciple.
Her status as Chen Feng's goddaughter alone gives her a transcendent position within the Xingfeng Sect.
Soon, the top ten disciples arrived at the central arena.
All ten men were full of vigor and high spirits.
The top ten in this competition will not only receive generous rewards from the sect, but they will also become famous throughout the world.
The influence of Xingfeng Sect in the nine star regions is now extraordinary, and the results of this competition will naturally be reported to the outside world.
And their names will surely be remembered by the major powers of the nine star regions.
Once everyone had arrived, Wang Fengnuo prepared to distribute the rewards to them.
But just then, a voice rang out from the sky: "Not bad, not bad."
The sound was ethereal and indistinct, yet it reached everyone's ears.
Everyone present was instantly energized!
Everyone looked up at the horizon.
A man in white, with his hands behind his back, came stepping through the air from afar.
The man, dressed in flowing white robes, was handsome, and with each step he took, it seemed as if he were in harmony with the great Dao.
Everyone who saw the man was momentarily stunned.
Wang Fengnuo was the first to react, and immediately exclaimed with delight:
"Godfather!"
Wang Fengnuo's voice broke the silence in the room.
Wow!
It was only then that the tens of thousands of Xingfeng Sect cultivators in the arena realized who the newcomer was.
Everyone knelt down on one knee and shouted:
"We pay our respects to the Sect Master!"
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, their voices resounding throughout the heavens.
Excitement, exhilaration, fervor!
This was the common thought in the minds of all the cultivators of Xingfeng Sect at this moment.
The sect leader, who hadn't appeared for decades, has now surprisingly shown up at the inner sect competition!
Chen Beijing!
This name can be said to be the faith in the hearts of all Xingfengmen cultivators.
The young disciples in the arena, in particular, undoubtedly held the deepest admiration for Chen Feng.
Chen Feng's journey from an ordinary person to where he is today is nothing short of legendary.
In particular, Chen Feng is now hailed as the number one prodigy in the Nine Star Regions, and this title alone makes them excited.
Looking at the disciples kneeling below, Chen Feng felt a surge of emotion.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already reached a point where he was admired by thousands.
He waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted tens of thousands of people in the arena.
"This competition was very exciting, I'm very satisfied. Everyone performed very well," Chen Feng praised.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's praise, all the disciples participating in the competition showed excitement.
Chen Feng then turned his attention to the top ten in this competition.
He waved his right hand, and ten storage rings flew to the ten people;
"This is a reward I'm giving you separately, not counting those within the sect. After you ten, you can also come to me individually to ask me questions about cultivation."
The ten people looked at the storage ring in front of them, their faces filled with ecstatic joy, and they immediately knelt down to pay their respects:
"Thank you for the reward, Sect Master!"
The crowd below the arena was filled with envy.
What they envied was naturally not the treasures inside the storage ring.
Instead, it was an opportunity to ask Chen Feng for advice on cultivation matters alone.
If the sect leader takes a liking to him, wouldn't his future be soaring to great heights?
Chen Feng then gave a few more words of encouragement to everyone. He didn't stay long and left the main hall square after he finished speaking.
As the sect leader, he only needed to show his face; he didn't need to say much.
Back on the warship, Liu Qian and the others were still there.
Beaver said with a smile:
"Sect Master, now that you've shown up, these disciples will probably fight tooth and nail for a spot in the top ten during the next sect competition."
Beaver could foresee the immense impact Chen Feng's appearance would have.
The next sect competition is sure to be exceptionally fierce; who knows if the sect leader will personally appear to give awards next time?
Liu Qian, standing nearby, laughed heartily:
"Isn't this better? Otherwise, where will they get the motivation to work hard?"
Chen Feng looked at the group:
"Alright, I'll leave the rest of this to you. I'm going to check on Yin Yin first."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qian and the others all bowed respectfully.
"Respectfully seeing off the sect leader."
Chen Feng nodded, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.
Xingfeng Gate, behind the mountain.
The back mountain has been completely transformed into the cave dwellings of the Xingfeng Sect's high-ranking members, and Chen Feng's cave dwelling is also located here.
He first arrived at the front of his cave dwelling.
As soon as we arrived, the immortal corpse puppet came out from inside.
The immortal corpse puppet remained as aloof as ever, giving off an air of transcendence simply by standing there.
Chen Feng retrieved the fragmented soul that was attached to the immortal corpse puppet.
As the split soul entered his body, Chen Feng immediately felt his primordial spirit grow much stronger, and his control over his physical body became easier than before.
"Sure enough, the number of split souls has increased over the years."
The Immortal Corpse Puppet is himself, so Chen Feng is very clear about the situation of the Immortal Corpse Puppet.
For the past twenty years, the immortal corpse puppet has been absorbing immortal energy and cultivating immortal techniques.
Most of the magical arts obtained from the Sea Fork Clan have been mastered by the Immortal Corpse Puppets.
Now, with the combination of immortal energy and star power, the Immortal Corpse Puppet can even fight against a powerhouse at the third step of the Dao Integration Realm.
As his immortal energy increased, his divided soul also grew stronger over the years.
This is the power of immortal energy; it can nourish a cultivator's soul at all times.
Chen Feng was quite satisfied with this clone puppet.
If he needed to do something, he could simply send the immortal corpse puppet to do it, so he wouldn't have to take any risks himself.
Even if the immortal corpse puppet is gone, he will only lose a fragment of his soul at most.
Chen Feng immediately put the divided soul back into the body of the immortal corpse puppet, and then let the immortal corpse puppet return to the cave to continue its cultivation.
The immortal corpse puppet's strength can no longer be improved, but it can cultivate supernatural powers and spells.
If the Immortal Corpse Puppet has mastered cultivation, then it's equivalent to him having successfully cultivated.
Chen Feng had already planned to have the immortal corpse puppet cultivate the Dao of Severance.
The immortal corpse puppet's true form is an immortal lord, so using this physical body to cultivate Taoist techniques will definitely make things twice as effective.
Just then, a sweet voice rang out behind him: "Brother!"
Chen Feng turned around and saw Yin Yin, wearing a light yellow dress, standing behind him.
Twenty years have passed, and Yin Yin still looks like a young girl.
Upon seeing Chen Feng, he immediately rushed over and hugged him, saying, "Brother, I missed you."
Chen Feng patted her head: "How is your injury healing?"
Yinyin obediently said:
"The injuries to his soul have been fully healed."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng also showed a look of joy.
Yin Yin's recovery is undoubtedly good news.
"Brother, my next tribulation will come in thirty years," Yin Yin said, changing the subject.
Chen Feng frowned: "So fast?" A Dao Integration cultivator's personal tribulation only happens once every tens of thousands of years, and Yin Yin is going to undergo her personal tribulation in thirty years. This is not good news.
Yinyin explained:
"My personal tribulation was about to arrive back then, but it was delayed by using the Reincarnation Secret Technique. Now that my soul has recovered, this personal tribulation will naturally come again."
"Are you confident?" Chen Feng asked.
“Thirty percent,” Yin Yin replied.
"Only 30%?" Chen Feng's expression turned serious.
Yinyin smiled and said, "Thirty percent is already very high. Each personal tribulation is more dangerous than the last. I am going through my fourth personal tribulation, which will only be more dangerous than the previous ones. Others probably don't even have a ten percent chance of success."
"What exactly is this personal tribulation?" Chen Feng asked.
He had only heard of his own tribulations, but he didn't know what kind of tribulations they were.
"The tribulation of the self is a tribulation for the cultivator himself. When we cultivators comprehend and master the laws, we are essentially seizing the power of the universe, so tribulations will naturally come."
"When one's own tribulation arrives, primordial divine lightning will descend. But that's only the second part. At the same time as the divine lightning descends, the power of rules will also erode the cultivator himself."
"For example, when I am about to undergo my fourth tribulation, my primordial spirit and body will become extremely weak as the divine lightning strikes, and even my consciousness will be affected. I will have to endure this state for forty-nine days before I can be considered to have overcome the fourth tribulation and achieved the fourth step of the Dao Integration."
After hearing Yin Yin's description, Chen Feng felt a chill run down his spine.
He had heard of the Primordial Divine Thunder, a kind of divine thunder that was naturally born in the universe, and whose power was enough to cause permanent damage to a star field.
The cultivator undergoing their own tribulation not only has to withstand this divine lightning for forty-nine days, but will also be inflicted with a weakening buff.
At this moment, he finally understood why those Dao-merging old monsters in the Nine Star Domains would rather hide in the Void Realm and eke out a living than take the initiative to undergo their own tribulation.
This thing is definitely not something a human can cross.
"Is there any way to increase the success rate?" Chen Feng asked Yin Yin.
He wasn't at ease with only a 30% chance of success.
Yinyin nodded:
"Of course there are. There are many treasures and spiritual objects in the universe that can weaken one's own tribulation. The reason why we Dao Integration cultivators left the Nine Star Domains to explore the outside world back then was actually to find tribulation-crossing spiritual objects that could reduce the power of our own tribulation. I plan to set off to search outside the world in a few years."
"I'll go with you," Chen Feng said directly.
Yinyin said with a smile:
"Brother, no need. With my current cultivation level, there are few people outside the realm who can do anything to me."
Seeing Yin Yin's determined look, Chen Feng knew that his attempts to dissuade her were futile.
He suddenly thought of the Xuanhuang Realm.
The resources there are far richer than those in the Nine Star Regions, and there are even experts at the fourth and fifth steps of the Dao Integration Realm. There must also be treasures there to help one overcome one's tribulations.
Whether it was for his own future tribulation or for Yin Yin's sake, he needed to go to the Xuanhuang Realm to investigate.
Just as the two were talking, Liu Qian ran over from a distance:
"Sect Master!"
Seeing Liu Qian's anxious look, Chen Feng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
At this time, Liu Qian should be preparing the supplies for his trade with the Moro tribe.
If he's taking the initiative to come to him now, it must be something important.
Liu Qian took out a golden invitation from his person:
"The Sea Chariot tribe just sent an invitation, saying that it was personally written by their ancestor."
Yinyin, who was standing next to him, suddenly said:
“Brother, the Sea Fork Clan took action immediately upon seeing you appear. I’m afraid they have spies on Canglan Star.”
Chen Feng smiled and said, "It would be strange if he didn't have eyeliner."
He had just appeared at Xingfengmen Square when the invitation from the Sea Chariot Clan arrived. It was certain that the invitation had been prepared long ago, just waiting for his appearance.
Chen Feng took the invitation and began to read it. Soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Yinyin asked, "What does it say?"
Chen Feng handed the invitation to Yin Yin: "Take a look for yourself."
Yinyin took it and looked at it, also somewhat surprised:
"It's actually someone from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land!"
This invitation was written by Cang Wanjun himself.
The invitation mentioned that in six months, people from the Tianxuan Holy Land of the Xuanxing Domain would arrive in the Nine Star Domains.
Chen Feng and Yin Yin are hereby invited to travel together to the Haicha Clan to welcome the visitors from the Tianxuan Holy Land.
Chen Feng asked Yin Yin:
"Do you know anything about this Heavenly Profound Sacred Land?"
Yinyin nodded: "Tianxuan Holy Land is one of the major forces outside the realm. Its strength ranks among the top three. It is rumored that there are beings at the fifth step of the Dao Integration stage in this holy land, and there is more than one."
"Back then, it was because the Heavenly Profound Holy Land intervened that other forces gave up their plunder of the Nine Star Domains."
"Are there no beings beyond the Dao Integration Realm?" Chen Feng asked.
Yinyin shook her head with a wry smile:
"Brother, what are you thinking? The strongest beings in the surrounding star fields are only at the fifth step of the Dao Integration stage. Whether there are beings above the Dao Integration stage is unknown."
Hearing that the surrounding star field only had the fifth step of the Dao Integration stage, Chen Feng felt relieved.
It seems that a force like the Xuanhuang Realm, with three beings above the Dao Integration Realm, is extremely rare.
He had previously thought that the major powers outside the nine star regions all possessed experts above the Dao Integration level.
"Why do you think the Heavenly Profound Holy Land suddenly sent people to the Nine Star Regions?" Chen Feng asked.
Yinyin thought for a moment: "I'm afraid they're up to no good. Last time, Cang Wanjun made it clear that the Tianxuan Holy Land doesn't seem to want to protect the Nine Star Domains anymore."
“Brother, if you don’t want to go, I can go instead.” Yinyin looked at Chen Feng.
She knew that Chen Feng didn't like doing things like welcoming others.
Chen Feng shook his head: "It's alright, I'll go. I also want to see what cultivators from beyond the realm are like."
He was searching for the Northern Underworld; perhaps the people of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land could know some information.
They could even inquire about the Xuanhuang Realm to see if the other side knew about it.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, brother." Yin Yin didn't say anything more.
After catching up with Yin Yin, Chen Feng returned to the main hall of the sect.
He began to meet with the top ten disciples of Xingfeng Sect who had made it into the final competition.
With Chen Feng's current cultivation level, it's naturally not a problem for him to give guidance to some Golden Core cultivators.
In less than fifteen minutes, Chen Feng had finished instructing most of his disciples.
Soon it was Tang Xiaoxiao's turn.
"Xiao Xiao greets Sect Master!" Tang Xiao Xiao bowed respectfully to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng nodded to Tang Xiaoxiao: "No need for formalities."
After Tang Xiaoxiao got up, she kept looking at Chen Feng with a curious gaze.
Chen Feng ignored Tang Xiaoxiao's gaze and said with a smile:
Do you have any questions about your cultivation?
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't voice her question, but instead said to Chen Feng, "Sect Master, I have no doubts about cultivation. May I ask you a question?"
Wang Fengnuo, who had been standing to the side, was immediately surprised when he heard Tang Xiaoxiao's words.
She coughed twice as a reminder.
But Tang Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear and continued to stare intently at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng smiled:
"Sure, go ahead and ask."
He was also curious about what the little girl wanted to ask him.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Feng and asked, word by word, "Sect Leader, I'd like to know, do you have a woman you admire?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Fengnuo's eyes widened immediately;
"Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Tang Xiaoxiao was also very nervous, but she was born to love gossip, especially gossip about the sect leader.
That's why I mustered up the courage to ask this question. (End of Chapter)
