Chapter 880 Conclusion

Translator: podao001

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Chen Feng’s blood vessels burst – again and again – while cracking sounds rang out from his bones. The longevity-type primary energy within his body flowed at an even faster rate.

Bleeding from his seven orifices, Chen Feng became utterly stained in blood once more.

A pity, I am still incapable of wielding the full power of these Immortal artefacts. Do I really have to wake up Tower?

He’s not going to be happy about this.

Yet another power descended upon Chen Feng.

Boom!

Chen Feng found himself incapable of holding on any longer. Both his eyes turned blood-shot and he gave off a somewhat wild look.

If that’s the case, I’ll have to keep this Seal of Mountains and Rivers first.

As there was no longer anyone left to control the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, Chen Feng wanted to collect it. He could let the Longevity Tower devour it to further increase its power.

Given how far the situation had escalated, it would be very difficult to end it properly.

However, Chen Feng could no longer care about that. The other party had deployed two Immortal artefacts against him right from the start. This signified that Absolute Academy was indeed targeting him.

While others viewed Absolute Academy as an exalted Holyland, it was only so-so in Chen Feng’s eyes. This was a difference in their perspective of the world.

In the past, Chen Feng might have felt some sense of respect towards these Holylands. Since recovering his memories, however, even the Demon Plane, Nether Plane or Immortal Plane was something of a low-level world in his eyes, let alone one force within Eternal World.

Naturally, that was only relative to the Myriad Celestial Planes. While Chen Feng was aware of this situation, he did not look down on it.

However, it would appear that Chen Feng was not fated to utilize the Longevity Tower here. Just as Chen Feng was about to make his move, the Bluesea Realm rose upwards before rapidly shrinking. Before Chen Feng could even determine what was happening, the Bluesea Realm transformed into a circular bead and flew into the hand of a cultivator.

He had the appearance of a middle-aged man. He sported a high coronet on his head and was clad in starlight armour. In his hand was the Absolute Staff. It was none other than the founder of Absolute Academy, Heavenly Premier Absolute.

Heh, he finally showed up! Chen Feng did not reveal the slightest hint of surprise. He was aware that, if Heavenly Premier Absolute was in Eternal World, he could not possibly miss what was happening here.

However, Heavenly Premier Absolute was not alone. Beside him was another cultivator, clad in cyan-coloured robes. His eyebrows were somewhat long and his face slightly pale. It was Bi Qing.

The seven Earthen Immortals who were mobilizing the Bluesea Realm were taken aback at seeing Heavenly Premier Absolute. Instantly, looks of respect appeared on their faces and they quickly moved forward to salute him.

“Greetings to the first-generation Academy Head!”

“Humph! Some good deed you fellows are doing here!” Heavenly Premier Absolute’s sharp gaze swept forward and the seven Earthen Immortals instantly felt a chill running down their spines.

“Go back first. After you return to your residences, just stay there.”

Heavenly Premier Absolute waved his hand and the Earthen Immortals were quick to obey him. After leaving the place, they did exactly as told, staying in their own grotto-mansions, not daring to leave. At the same time, they felt regretful. If only they had known this would happen, they would not have taken action against Chen Feng, no matter what.

However, it was already too late for that. At that very moment, all they could do was stay there and wait.

All of them had been acting under the orders of the current Academy Head. However, no matter how strong the current Academy Head was, he was only a peak-level Earthen Immortal in the end. In the face of the absolute power known as the Ascendant Immortal stage, there was nothing he could do. Not to mention, the few Immortal artefacts in Absolute Academy’s possession were all items that Heavenly Premier Absolute had left behind.

The reason Absolute Academy’s standing was superior compared to the sects and families with legacies beyond millions of years was because it had several Immortal artefacts to serve as protection.

“Greetings, seniors.” Chen Feng stepped forward and said. During the interval, lasting several breaths’ worth of time, Chen Feng had fully healed all the wounds on his body. Seeing that rate of recovery, Heavenly Premier Absolute was secretly shocked. Only Bi Qing remained calm. At any rate, he was from the Celestial Clearblue Plane. He knew Chen Feng enough to know how powerful the longevity-type primary energy was.

“Come. Let’s head someplace else to talk. Before that, though, you should release those fellows you captured.” Heavenly Premier Absolute chuckled at Chen Feng.

Nodding, Chen Feng then waved his hand and the seven elders who had been controlling the Seal of Mountains and Rivers appeared before them. They cut quite the miserable sight.

Upon emerging, each and every one of them wanted to unleash hell. However, when they saw Heavenly Premier Absolute, they all turned meek. Instead, they stepped forward and respectfully saluted him.

“Just leave.” Heavenly Premier Absolute waved them off impatiently.

The seven elders glared at Chen Feng before quickly leaving.

“I say, senior. You’re letting them go just like that? Aren’t you going easy on them here?” Chen Feng smiled.

“Well, what do you want?”

“It’s not about what I want. They were the ones who instigated this whole thing. No matter how you cut it, I was only defending myself because I was left with no other options. Senior, you should give me an explanation for this, no? How about you give me the Seal of Mountains and Rivers?” Chen Feng pointed at the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.

“You sure know how to talk. The Seal of Mountains and Rivers is an Immortal artefact. If it’s a Dao artefact, I would allow it. However, the Seal of Mountains and Rivers is our Absolute Academy’s sect guardian treasure.” Heavenly Premier Absolute then waved his hand to collect the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.

“Stingy.” Chen Feng pursed his lips to the side.

“Ha ha ha! Let’s go. There is something that will interest you later.” Heavenly Premier Absolute laughed.

After the three of them left, silence befell the place. Then, all the cultivators there burst into an uproar.

“Was I hallucinating just now?”

“Unlikely. That earlier is the first Academy Head!”

“Heavenly Premier Absolute!”

“The Academy Head! How strange! Didn’t he reach the Ascendant Immortal stage long ago? Shouldn’t he have ascended to the Immortal Plane?”

“Maybe it is possible to return?”

“By the way, did you fellows notice it? The Academy Head and Chen Feng appear acquainted.”

“No shit. Maybe the Immortal artefacts in Chen Feng’s possession were from the Academy Head himself.”

“Ha ha ha! The elders have really kicked the iron plate here. They’re in for it this time.”

“Serves them right!”

“To think that Chen Feng’s backer would be the Academy Head. Also, did you fellows notice? There was another cultivator standing beside the Academy Head. I am guessing that the cultivator is also an Ascendant Immortal.”

“Horseshit! If he isn’t an Ascendant Immortal, would he qualify to stand beside the Academy Head?”

“With this, Sword Immortal Azuretip and the others are in for a world of misery.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Great! This feels too great!” Marquis Scarletfire suddenly laughed loudly and he deliberately threw a look at Sword Immortal Azuretip’s group.

By then, the words ugly simply could not do justice to their faces. It was unparalleled. It was as though their mothers had all died at the same time.

“Humph! This is all your fault! Don’t you know you should have investigated Chen Feng’s background first? We are goners this time! You fellows aren’t going to be let off either!” the captain of the group of enforcers said harshly before leading the other enforcers away. Clearly, he wanted to draw a line between them and Sword Immortal Azuretip’s group.

“What do we do now?”

“Let’s head back first. We’ll talk there.”

After a brief discussion, Sword Immortal Azuretip’s group quickly left. All of them were feeling panicky.

...

“This is my grotto-mansion. It is a little simplistic. Please don’t take offence.”

Chen Feng followed Heavenly Premier Absolute into a grotto-mansion. It was not much bigger compared to his own. Even its design did not appear particularly special. It only had one thing of note and that was a higher concentration of spiritual energy.

After sensing his surroundings for a bit, Chen Feng smiled. “So, this is a precious geomantic spot. It is the central point in establishing a connection with the power beneath the ground. Cultivating here for one day is the equivalent of me cultivating in my grotto-mansion for 100 days.”

Chen Feng then stretched his hand out and a high amount of spiritual energy was quickly pulled over. In the end, the spiritual energy converged into a clump of energy on his palm.

One tenth of the power within the clump of energy was world essence power.

“This is an important reason why Absolute Academy can develop so rapidly. A cultivation paradise!”

“Kid, your eyes sure are sharp. Alright, come in and sit.”

The three of them entered the grotto-mansion and casually sat down. Heavenly Premier Absolute generously brought out a tableful of immortal wine and spiritual fruits. Spiritual energy hovered around them while water flowed. The lotus flowers beneath the small bridge there bloomed, giving off an artistic conception to the place.

“First, I will have to congratulate senior.” Chen Feng first turned to smile at Bi Qing.

When they had parted ways, Bi Qing was only a peak-level Earthen Immortal. With the blessing of the Celestial Clearblue Plane, he could temporarily push his cultivation base up to the Ascendant Immortal stage. At that very moment, however, Bi Qing was a genuine Ascendant Immortal.

“It’s nothing to congratulate. For me, advancing to the Ascendant Immortal stage is just part of the process for me. You, on the other hand, could so quickly reach the high-level Human Immortal stage. This is a surprise.” Bi Qing waved it off with a calm expression. In his past life, he was already a Heavenly Immortal. Reaching the Ascendant Immortal stage here is nothing to be too happy about.

“I think my rate of cultivation is quite slow, though. Still, now that senior has reached the Ascendant Immortal stage, it’s time you head back, no?” Chen Feng asked smilingly.

“I will not be going back for now. There are still some matters I want to do here. For us, going back can be done at any time. Isn’t it the same for you? And yet, here you are.” Bi Qing smiled.

“Very well. Senior, let’s talk about something else.” Chen Feng then moved forward to fill the wine cups for them.

As Chen Feng and Bi Qing were chatting, Heavenly Premier Absolute had been listening quietly. He then laughed. “You two are truly extraordinary characters. If I am not mistaken, you two are not natives of our Eternal World, right?”

“Ha ha ha! Just understanding is enough. There are some things that we cannot say.”

Despite facing two Ascendant Immortals, Chen Feng did not appear restrained or under pressure. Instead, he was able to act calmly, as though they were equals.

In truth, this was due to his mindset. During his younger days, cultivators at the Ascendant Immortal stage were only his subordinates or bodyguards.

“Kid, where did you run off to during the past few years? How did you come back? Also, how did the battle go?” Bi Qing then asked.

“I went to Domain World and came back through the Planar Battlefield.”

“You actually went to Domain World? That’s far!” Heavenly Premier Absolute laughed.

“Sigh! Although I did manage to net some harvest from this trip, it was also a near-death experience for me. I was almost incapable of coming back alive. As for those fellows, they had a most miserable ending. All of them died.” Chen Feng shook his head. He briefly informed them of what happened. Naturally, when it came to the cultivators from the Celestial Planes, Chen Feng described them in another way. As long as Bi Qing understood, it was enough.
