Chapter 880
Revisiting the Old Place
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Feng expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Upon hearing this question, Chen Feng immediately smiled.
Seeing Chen Feng suddenly smile, Tang Xiaoxiao asked nervously:
"Sect Master... well, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. I just..."
"There's nothing I can't say, of course there is," Chen Feng replied straightforwardly.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao and Wang Fengnuo, who was standing next to her, widened their eyes in disbelief.
Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask:
"who is she?"
Tang Xiaoxiao was incredibly excited at this moment; this was huge gossip!
Wang Fengnuo didn't try to persuade Tang Xiaoxiao to shut up anymore; she was also very curious.
Her godfather had always been perceived by her as a cultivation fanatic.
From the moment she was born, her adoptive father was either in seclusion or on his way to kill someone.
This also instilled in Wang Fengnuo a deep sense of awe for Chen Feng from a young age.
Now that she heard that Chen Feng actually had a woman he admired, she naturally wanted to know who it was.
Chen Feng calmly said:
"You wouldn't know him even if I told you, and you may never see him."
"Huh?" Tang Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand what Chen Feng meant.
Chen Feng waved his hand: "Alright, if there are no other questions, you can go down now."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao immediately dared not say anything more and obediently retreated.
Not long after Tang Xiaoxiao left, Chang Yan, sporting a shaved head, strode in.
Upon seeing Chen Feng, Chang Yan immediately knelt on one knee: "Chang Yan greets Sect Master!"
Chen Feng nodded:
"You're very good. I watched the previous matches."
Chang Yan replied loudly, "Thank you for your praise, Sect Leader!"
Chen Feng picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then asked, "Do you have any questions about cultivation?"
Chang Yan answered without hesitation:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, I cultivate the Dao of the Physical Body, but for some reason, a year ago my physical body could not be improved at all. Even taking pills and spiritual items was of no use. Please give me some guidance, Sect Master!"
As soon as Chang Yan finished speaking, he felt a terrifying divine sense sweep towards him.
The sheer power of this divine sense caused Chang Yan's entire body to tremble uncontrollably.
The divine sense came and went quickly; in just an instant, Chang Yan felt the sensation of being seen through disappear.
This relieved him.
Chen Feng's voice slowly drifted over:
"Although the pills inside the gate can be used by both demons and humans, you are a born stone spirit, and your growth is extremely slow. You have already reached your limit. Your soul can no longer support your current physical body. If you want to break through, you can wait for ten years. When the time comes, you will naturally break through."
Although it was the first time Chen Feng had ever seen a naturally occurring spiritual creature like a stone spirit.
But with his current divine sense, he could easily detect the problem with the other party.
This creature has a very long lifespan and an exceptionally strong physical body, but its spirit is not very strong. Moreover, for a naturally born spiritual creature to improve its spirit, it cannot be done simply through cultivation.
The soul of this creature can only be gradually eroded by time; when the time comes, it will naturally grow stronger.
Chang Yan has now reached his limit.
Upon hearing this, Chang Yan knelt down again:
"Sect Master, I can't wait that long, but is there no other way?"
Wang Fengnuo, who was standing nearby, then transmitted his voice to Chen Feng:
"Godfather, Chang Yan's Stone Spirit Clan was destroyed by the Sea Fork Clan, and he has always wanted revenge."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng understood.
Naturally born spiritual objects are treasures that cultivators fight over. Whether they are used to refine spiritual treasures or to be enslaved to guard cave dwellings, they are the best choice.
He considered it normal for the Stone Spirit Clan to suffer such an fate.
Chen Feng looked at Chang Yan and said, "I can help you stimulate your soul to grow stronger, but this process is very painful. Can you bear it?"
Chang Yan's eyes were firm:
"This disciple can withstand it, please, Sect Master, make a move!"
"Okay." Chen Feng didn't waste any words and immediately pointed, sending a stream of star energy into Chang Yan's body.
Chang Yan suddenly felt his soul shatter into countless fragments, and an unimaginable tearing pain came from the depths of his soul.
Just when Chang Yan thought he was about to be annihilated.
A strange energy reconnected his shattered soul.
Before Chang Yan could even breathe a sigh of relief, his soul shattered once again.
And so, Chang Yan began to pant heavily and then let out screams!
Chen Feng calmly said:
"If you faint now, the stellar energy I injected into your body will dissipate automatically. Only by constantly breaking and rebuilding your soul can it grow stronger."
Chen Feng wasn't deliberately torturing Chang Yan. Other treasures couldn't enhance the soul of a naturally born spiritual being. The only way to improve it was to continuously reorganize the soul.
Chang Yan struggled to his feet, his voice trembling:
"Thank you very much, Sect Master!"
Chang Yan did not linger any longer, but instead strode away from the main hall with difficulty.
After Chang Yan left, Wang Fengnuo couldn't help but ask:
"Godfather, how long will he be in pain?"
Chen Feng shook his head: "I don't know, it depends on him. It could be as quick as a month or as slow as half a year."
"So long." Wang Fengnuo's pretty face paled involuntarily.
Just by looking at Chang Yan's pained expression, she could feel how much pain he was in.
After all, even a tough guy like Chang Yan could scream in pain.
Wang Fengnuo hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Godfather, the one who wiped out the Stone Spirit Clan was a deacon of the Sea Fork Clan. He only had the Nascent Soul cultivation level. Why don't I go talk to Aunt Beaver and ask her to capture that Sea Fork Clan member?"
Chen Feng glanced at Wang Fengnuo and said:
"Feng Nuo, you must remember, our Xingfeng Sect is not a charity. If a talented disciple with grudges comes along, and we help him get revenge, then what use are these disciples to us?"
"All we can give him is a good platform. If he can work hard to cultivate, he can naturally take revenge on his own. Moreover, taking revenge on his own is more meaningful than having someone else take revenge for him."
Wang Fengnuo nodded obediently: "Godfather, I remember."
Chen Feng then stood up and stretched:
"We still have some time, take me around to see what Canglan Star is like now."
Wang Fengnuo's face immediately lit up with joy:
"Yes, Godfather."
The news of Chen Beijing's reappearance at Xingfeng Sect spread throughout the major forces of the Nine Star Regions within a few days.
The sect leader of Xingfeng Sect hadn't shown his face for decades, and his reappearance naturally attracted the attention of many forces.
All the major powers sent people to visit Xingfengmen.
Some forces want to become vassals of Xingfengmen, while others have other motives.
Chen Feng was naturally unaware of all this; at the moment, he was leisurely strolling around the northern territory.
The Northern Territory today is a world that combines cultivation and technology.
There are no ancient buildings to be seen here; only modern concrete houses.
For ordinary people living in the North, life is undoubtedly the best.
Numerous factories solved the employment problem for these ordinary people.
In addition, the North sells a variety of modern goods, allowing ordinary people here to enjoy a better life after their hard work.
Food and clothing are no longer concerns for ordinary people living in the North.
Their current concerns are how to save money to buy a house in a good location in the North and how to send their children to Xingfengmen.
Chen Feng visited all the factories in just half a day.
Overall, the factory's operation was basically on par with the modern world, and the mortals living in the North in the early days found it difficult to master the equipment inside. However, with the spread of education, over the past century, newly born mortals have learned a great deal.
Chen Feng had anticipated this situation.
For a civilization to develop rapidly, education is of paramount importance. As long as education is done well, the civilization will not be bad.
After visiting the factory, Wang Fengnuo took Chen Feng to a small town and city where ordinary people live.
The mortals of the North no longer live in the village-style communities they once did.
In recent years, many new cities and towns have been built in the Northern Territory by ordinary people. These were all built by ordinary people themselves, and the Xingfeng Sect did not interfere.
Chen Feng and Wang Fengnuo arrived at a small town.
This small town has a population of about 30,000. The town has a main road, and on both sides of the road are rows of two-story buildings.
If Chen Feng hadn't noticed that the people in the town were still dressed in ancient attire...
Chen Feng almost thought he had returned to a small county town on Earth.
"Godfather, look!" Wang Fengnuo pointed in a direction, which was the very center of the town.
There stands a white jade statue in the open space.
The statue depicts a man with his hands behind his back, gazing coldly at the sky; the sculpture is remarkably lifelike.
There were also many offerings placed in front of the statue, which was naturally in the likeness of Chen Feng.
Looking at the statue in front of him, Chen Feng couldn't help but recall the past, when most of the statues erected for him by the mortals of the Northern Territory were made of stone and wood.
Now it has been transformed into a jade statue.
Just as Chen Feng was gazing at the statue, a golden aura suddenly surged from the jade statue, and this golden aura quickly entered Chen Feng's body.
As the golden energy flowed into his body, Chen Feng immediately felt a sense of ease.
He immediately looked inside his body, but after a long examination, he found no changes in his own body.
"The power of faith? But why is it golden?"
Chen Feng naturally knew what the golden energy emanating from the statue was—it was the power of faith he had absorbed back then.
I remember that he was only at the Nascent Soul stage at that time. He accidentally discovered that the power of faith could replenish the number of teleportations. After that, he went to various places in the Northern Territory to absorb the power of faith.
This trump card helped him overcome many crises back then.
However, as his cultivation level increased, he stopped absorbing the power of faith.
Now, so many years later, this power of faith has turned golden.
"Who are you?" An old man with a cane walked over from a distance, looking at Chen Feng and his companion warily.
When the old man saw Chen Feng, he was immediately stunned.
He then immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice:
"Lord of the Nuclear Bomb!"
Upon hearing this address, Chen Feng's lips twitched.
This is an old name from so many years ago. So many years have passed, yet the mortals of the North still refer to themselves like this.
Wang Fengnuo, standing next to her, barely managed to suppress her laughter; she was also aware of her godfather's reputation as the "Nuclear Bomb True Lord."
For those old-timers in the Xingfengmen (行风门) movement, this title still carried a lot of prestige.
But now, the nuclear bomb master seems ridiculous.
Chen Feng ignored Wang Fengnuo, who was trying not to laugh, and used his spiritual power to lift the old man up:
"No need for such formalities, sir."
The old man was clearly very excited; his face turned red.
"Lord Zhenjun, it really is you! I never thought that I, an old man on the verge of death, would be able to see you again. Lord Zhenjun, please wait a moment, I will go and call people to come and welcome you!"
With that, the old man leaned on his cane and ran into the town.
At this moment, he was no longer old, and his steps became very powerful.
Wang Fengnuo said with a smile:
"Godfather, although you haven't shown your face in the mortal world for a long time, these mortals still love and respect you very much. They talk about you the most in their lives."
Chen Feng watched the old man's departing figure and calmly spoke:
"I didn't actually do anything."
Chen Feng did not consider him a savior.
At first, he was just using the mortals of the North to develop the Wind Gate.
After all, he only paid the miners three copper coins a day back then.
However, for ordinary people living in this world, his exploitation is a rare kind of happiness.
When everyone is bad, if one person suddenly becomes good, that person will undoubtedly become the greatest benefactor in the world.
If someone from Earth were to work in a factory in the North, he would be branded as a heartless capitalist who exploits his employees within three days.
But that's not the case in this world; that's the difference brought about by different environments.
"Let's go. We've seen enough of the Northern Territory; it's time to check out the Southern Region." Chen Feng said, then walked out of the town.
Wang Fengnuo quickly caught up:
"Godfather, don't you see the people in this town?"
"There's nothing to see," Chen Feng said without turning his head.
Southern Region, Star-Breaking Cult.
A century later, the Star-Breaking Cult still exists.
The current Star Breaking Sect is located in Star Breaking City in the Southern Region and is considered one of the top forces in the Southern Region.
There are reasons why a once small force has grown into a top force in the Southern Region, and many cultivators in the Southern Region know why.
When Chen Beijing, the former leader of Xingfeng Sect, traveled to the Southern Region, he once impersonated the patriarch of Poxing Sect.
This alone is enough to ensure that the Star-Breaking Cult will not decline for thousands of years.
Breaking Star Sect, Main Hall.
A middle-aged man was sitting in the main seat of the Broken Star Sect's main hall.
The man was holding a cell phone and sending messages.
In today's Canglan Star, mobile phones have become an indispensable item for cultivators. This thing can be used not only for communication, but also for entertainment.
Even a powerful cultivator like a man at the Nascent Soul stage would occasionally take out his phone to surf the internet.
With satellite network coverage, the internet has long been widespread on Canglan Star.
Just then, two figures walked in from outside the hall.
The middle-aged man seemed to have noticed the newcomer and said without turning his head:
"Didn't I tell you? Don't bother me unless it's important?"
Just then, a woman's voice rang out in the hall:
"Godfather, is this the place where you hid your identity? It doesn't look very nice."
A calm male voice replied:
"It wasn't that great, but I was very weak back then. If I hadn't hidden my identity, I probably would have been hunted down to my death."
"Really? There's someone capable of hunting you down, Godfather?"
The man sitting in the main seat heard this conversation and realized something was wrong, so he immediately looked up.
A man and a woman appeared in the main hall.
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, surprised, and asked, "Who are you people?"
This main hall is the core of their Star Breaking Sect, protected by array formations both inside and out.
He was astonished to learn that someone had silently slipped through the formation and entered the main hall.
"Are you the current leader of the Star Breaking Sect?" Chen Feng asked the middle-aged man in front of him.
After leaving the Northern Territory, Chen Feng brought Wang Fengnuo to the Southern Region.
His first stop was naturally the Star Breaking Sect, where he had first arrived in the Southern Region.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man carefully examined Chen Feng and asked somewhat uncertainly:
"You are... Ancestor Chen!" (End of Chapter)
