Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

27: Chapter 27 Return and SeclusionPuff!

Chen Fufeng spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from the sky. His Aura became extremely unstable, and the Meridians throughout his body had suffered damage to varying degrees.

He hurriedly took out several first-grade High Grade Medicinal Pills for healing and swallowed them. Only with the help of their medicinal power was he barely able to stabilize his injuries.

His final sword strike could be said to have unleashed power beyond his limits, combining forbidden drugs with the Blood Burning Life-Risking Art to trade for a sliver of survival.

Yuan Feng also landed, covered in blood, with some places even revealing glistening bones.

Even with the protection of a second-grade mid-grade battle armor, he had still suffered significant injuries, even more severe than Chen Fufeng’s.

After all, he had been hard-hitting the attack of an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator. Even with the protection of the second-grade mid-grade battle armor, he was still injured.

His Aura had weakened significantly. Although the power gained from using the Blood Burning Life-Risking Art was formidable, the aftereffects were very severe. Yuan Feng estimated that it would take several months of recuperation.

However, he also gained a clearer understanding of his own strength. An Early Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator could pose a danger to him, but he also had a chance to survive in the hands of a Great Cultivator at this level.

”Brother Yuan, are you okay?” Chen Fufeng walked over, his heart trembling as he looked at the scarred Yuan Feng.

This time, Yuan Feng deserved over ninety percent of the credit for killing that old guy Qian Deshen. Without Yuan Feng drawing the fire, he would not have been able to unleash that crucial sword strike.

”Don’t worry, Old Chen, I’m not dying yet.” Yuan Feng waved his hand and looked towards the direction of Liyuan Commandery City. ”Let’s rest for a moment and then leave. It’s not very safe here. It’s better to go back to Luoyun Mountain to recuperate properly.”

Although Qian Deshen was dead, they didn’t know if the Qian Family would let it go, so running away was the priority.

”Hmm.”

Two hours later, the man and the ape stabilized their injuries. Regardless of whether they might relapse, they took the Storage Ring and ren shui vast sea pearl left behind by Qian Deshen and flew back towards Liming Town without looking back.

On the way, Chen Fufeng changed directions many times and disguised himself again before entering the town, altering his own Aura.

After wandering around, stopping and going, the man and the ape finally returned to Luoyun Mountain at sunset.

Yuan Feng went to the Back Mountain Cliff immediately. Physically and mentally exhausted, he jumped onto the old tree. A strong sense of sleepiness washed over him, and unable to support himself any longer, he fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Yuan Feng felt as if his consciousness had been pulled away, arriving on a bizarre and grotesque primordial continent. A figure, more towering and magnificent than mountains, stood between heaven and earth. Its Aura was as majestic as the firmament, its black fur as thick as Ancient Mountains. Stars revolved around this figure one after another, and a pair of eyes, brighter than the great sun, looked over.

”What is this?”

Yuan Feng’s consciousness sank into darkness. His demon body curled up, and the injuries on his body were slowly repairing. His unstable Aura gradually became steady, and his strong, powerful heartbeat resonated on the cliff, deafening.

Chen Fufeng quietly returned home. Ji Wanqing, who was coaxing the children to sleep, heard the movement and walked out vigilantly. The moment she saw her husband, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

”It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back.”

Meanwhile, Ruan Yurong, who was reading in Luoxia Garden, felt something. She pinched a Spell with her jade fingers as if calculating something.

Before long, a look of surprise appeared on her face, as if she had been startled by something.

”Divine Thunder... How could it fall on the Chen Family?!”

She stood up and went to the window, looking at the sea of clouds outside, lost in thought.

”The tides turn, the tides turn. Is there really a great person in charge of this destiny?”

...

Time flew by, and six months passed.

For the past six months, Yuan Feng had been sleeping on the Back Mountain Cliff. During this time, Chen Fufeng came several times. Seeing that Yuan Feng’s injuries had recovered and the Aura he emitted was even thicker than before, the worry in his heart dissipated.

When he had returned home earlier, it had made Ji Wanqing ache with concern. Fortunately, Ji Wanqing didn’t say much and didn’t ask what he and Yuan Feng had experienced on that trip to the Commandery City.

His own injuries had taken more than two months of recuperation to fully recover. The damage to his body from the forbidden drugs and the Blood Burning Life-Risking Art was too great; even with healing Medicinal Pills, it was not something that could be recovered overnight.

During his recovery, Chen Fufeng had also sorted through the gains from the trip to the Commandery City.

Apart from the Spiritual Qi, spiritual objects, and Cultivation Technique prepared for Chen Zhuxiao, there were also many Medicinal Pills specifically for Cultivators at various stages of Qi Refining, which could speed up the cultivation of Qi Refining Cultivators and shorten the time for breaking through Realms.

As for the Storage Ring of the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator Qian Deshen, the Restriction on it had dissipated on its own after its owner died, so a Qi Refining Cultivator could probe it with his Divine Thought without encountering any obstacles.

Chen Fufeng scanned it dozens of times. Inside this Storage Ring, apart from about twenty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, there were only over a thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and a bottle of second-grade Low Grade Medicinal Pills for recovering mana.

There really wasn’t anything good in it, which was consistent with a Cultivator who wouldn’t live much longer and had no value to his Family.

However, the Life-Bound Magical Artifact left by Qian Deshen, the ren shui vast sea pearl, was a good item. It was a second-grade mid-grade level, and the crack caused by Yuan Feng’s punch had long since repaired itself.

This item could only exert its maximum power in the hands of a ren water Cultivator. Cultivators of other paths could also unleash decent power when activating it, and sweeping through Qi Refining Realm Cultivators would not be difficult.

Over the past six months, Chen Fufeng had also set up the newly purchased Five Spirits Defensive Grand Formation, replacing the original Fog Shadow Maze Formation.

He had quietly taken this first-grade High Grade Formation to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Liming Town and sold it. The Spirit Stones from the sale were kept by him for emergencies.

At the same time, Chen Fufeng had also repaired and expanded the Family’s Scripture Pavilion and treasury, laying down several small Formations, just in case.

As for his children, his second son Chen Zhuxiao obtained the ”Heaven-Striking Thunder Domain Scripture” and had buried himself entirely in this Fifth-Grade Cultivation Technique.

He did not choose to break through immediately. Instead, he polished his Foundation in the Nourishing Origin Realm for nearly half a year. Only after gaining some insights into the Qi Refining chapter of the ”Heaven-Striking Thunder Domain Scripture” did he take out the Profound Chaos Faultless Truth-Shattering Divine Thunder Qi to refine it, seeking to step into the Qi Refining Realm and become a Divine Thunder Cultivator!

Currently, Chen Zhuxiao was still in seclusion refining the Profound Chaos Faultless Truth-Shattering Divine Thunder Qi and had not yet come out.

His third daughter, Chen Zhuqing, had been making extremely fast progress in Nourishing Origin over the past six months with the assistance of abundant resources. It wouldn’t be long before she reached Perfection and began Qi Refining.

The eldest son, Chen Zhuyun, who worried him the most, had already begun Blood Exchange. He did not live on the mountain now but lived at the foot of the mountain with his martial arts master, Master Huang.

The Blood Exchange stage in mortal martial arts was intended to cleanse old blood, forge new blood, stimulate human potential at a deeper level, and release more power.

With each Blood Exchange, a Martial Artist’s Qi and blood would increase by one or even several times. The number of Blood Exchanges determined the strength of the Innate True Qi born after breaking through to the Innate Realm.

The only thing Chen Fufeng could do was to provide support, both material and spiritual.

He also hoped that Chen Zhuyun could break the shackles and become an Innate Martial Artist, comparable to a Qi Refining Realm Cultivator, so that he could be more at ease in the future.

In a cultivation Family, those without talent were generally regarded as the Family’s scraps, but he did not want his eldest son to become like that.

People had their own aspirations. He did not dampen his eldest son’s spirit. As it seemed now, practicing martial arts was indeed a path suitable for Chen Zhuyun.

In addition to the Chen Family Main Lineage, the three children with Spiritual Roots who had been arranged to live in the mountains had made remarkable progress. Driven by rich resources, they had all entered the Late Stage of the Nourishing Origin Realm. With a bit more polishing, they would be able to reach Perfection in Nourishing Origin and begin Qi Refining.

After returning from the Commandery City this time, Chen Fufeng had more detailed plans for the Family’s various arrangements.

For the three branch and outer Family children, Chen Zhuyu, Jiang Yunlei, and Su Meng, he decided to grant them fourth-grade Cultivation Techniques.

Now that the Family was just starting and was in a period of rapid development, Early Stage Cultivators were particularly important, and naturally, those who could Cultivate High Grade techniques were the best.

He had made this decision after careful consideration. Yuan Feng was already at Peak Qi Refining with powerful combat strength. After waking up, he would likely go into seclusion to impact the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Chen Zhuxiao was cultivating a Fifth-Grade Cultivation Technique and using High Grade Spiritual Qi, following the Divine Thunder Path; he would be able to suppress the rest of the Chen Family in the future.

This fourth-grade Cultivation Technique was no longer so important; it was better to create a few more Cultivators with solid Foundations.

However, the Chen Family’s current fourth-grade Cultivation Techniques were incomplete, having only Metal, Water, and Fire attributes.

Like Chen Zhuyu, whose Spiritual Root had an affinity for the Wood attribute, the Chen Family currently had no fourth-grade Cultivation Technique with the Wood attribute. He had to settle for letting her practice the third-grade Jia Wood Cultivation Technique ”Ground-Supporting Nanmu Art,” which could form the immortal foundation [Ground-Supporting Nanmu].

Jiang Yunlei’s Spiritual Root had an affinity for the Metal attribute. The Chen Family had two fourth-grade Cultivation Techniques available for him to practice: the Geng Metal Cultivation Technique [Golden Firmament Jade Dew Art] and the Xin Metal Cultivation Technique [Xin Radiance Drinking Moon Art].

Chen Fufeng did not intend to let Jiang Yunlei practice the Li Family’s Legacy Cultivation Technique. Currently, the Chen Family could not be exposed, so he could only let him practice [Xin Radiance Drinking Moon Art].

As for Su Meng, her Spiritual Root had an affinity for the Water attribute, similar to Chen Zhuqing. Furthermore, the two had become familiar with each other during this period, appearing like sisters.

Therefore, Chen Fufeng decided to let both of them practice the fourth-grade Kan Water Cultivation Technique [Kanze Sun-Trapping Art].

In the Cultivation World, most people practiced third-grade Cultivation Techniques. Above that, fourth-grade Cultivation Technique Cultivators were considered elites, Fifth-Grade Cultivation Technique Cultivators could be Prodigies, and sixth-grade Cultivation Technique Cultivators were peerless Prodigies.

A fourth-grade Cultivation Technique was already a very good Legacy for a small Family.

If the Chen Family could obtain fourth-grade Cultivation Techniques for the Earth and Wood paths in the future, they would possess a complete five-element fourth-grade Legacy, which would be considered to have deep Foundations among Foundation Establishment families.

On the Back Mountain Cliff, Yuan Feng, who had been sleeping for half a year, woke up.

He stretched, and cracking sounds echoed on the cliff.

He seemed to have had a very long dream, in which he appeared to have seen some incredible creature.

”Panel.” Silently chanting in his heart, he summoned the System Panel.

[Name: Yuan Feng

”Has seen the source of the Bloodline?”

Yuan Feng frowned slightly, his thoughts spinning rapidly. When he was sleeping, he seemed to have seen an unimaginable creature, one before whom even a Purple Mansion True Person would be like an ant.

Stepping on the Eight Desolations, head crowning the Nine Heavens, surrounded by galaxies, eyes like Star Domains, truly like a True Immortal descending into the world; that kind of prestige was boundless.

”If I can grow to that level, tsk tsk, I’m afraid a sneeze could destroy the world, right?” Yuan Feng touched his chin and giggled twice.

Subsequently, his gaze fell on the Divine Ability column, and his heart stirred: ”Divine Ability Mountain and Sea Shift, could this be something I awakened while sleeping?”

Divine Ability, the standard equipment of a Purple Mansion True Person, with power far exceeding Spells, was an incredible means and the most powerful method of a Cultivator.

And now, he had not yet reached Foundation Establishment, but he already possessed two major Divine Abilities. Although the Size As Desired Divine Ability could only change size, it was still a type of Divine Ability.

Moreover, as a Divine Ability, the mystery of Size As Desired was far superior to ordinary size-changing Spells, allowing it to be used as one wished; even if he became ten thousand feet tall, his appearance would not change.

”Mountain and Sea Shift, the name alone is very domineering. I wonder what kind of power it will have after being unleashed?”

Yuan Feng looked at the three words ”Mountain and Sea Shift” and suppressed the urge to try it out. If he destroyed the entire Luoyun Mountain, that would be a huge mess.

This kind of method must be used as a trump card, used suddenly at a critical moment, which would surely catch the enemy off guard, and perhaps even result in a one-hit kill.

After observing his own changes, Yuan Feng left the Back Mountain Cliff and found Chen Fufeng.

”Old Chen, I’m preparing to go into seclusion to comprehend the mysteries of Foundation Establishment. I won’t come out until I break through to Foundation Establishment. You kid, be a bit more low-key during this period, don’t always cause trouble, or else you’ll have people coming to your door.”

Chen Fufeng’s old face flushed red. What did he mean by being low-key? Besides, he wasn’t the type to cause trouble.

Moreover, they had even joined forces to kill a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator. As long as Foundation Establishment didn’t appear, who could compete?

”Got it, Brother Yuan. You can rest assured and go into seclusion. Everything in the Chen Family is on me.”

Just like that, Yuan Feng returned to the Back Mountain Cliff, feeling the throbbing from the depths of his Bloodline, calmed his heart, and entered into seclusion.

The Chen Family, under Chen Fufeng’s leadership, developed discreetly, acted low-key, and waited for the day Yuan Feng came out of seclusion.
