Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 519: Chapter 256: The Girl from the Past, Her Time Has Come (Part 2)

"It’s entirely unnecessary, I’ve appreciated its many forms, just let it go!"

Han Dong shook his head, smiled slightly, and fell asleep on Jiang Feng’s shoulder.

Jiang Feng placed the prepared blanket over Han Dong. After Han Dong was sound asleep, he carried him back to the stone house.

"Whew!"

Just as Jiang Feng gently placed Han Dong on the bed, a formidable aura entered the range of Jiang Feng’s spiritual sense.

The other seemed unaware of him.

Heading straight for Dragon Capital.

Jiang Feng frowned.

He lived on White Tiger Mountain, unknown to others, except Xiao Zhan, who had long ordered people not to approach White Tiger Mountain to disturb the couple’s cultivation.

Central Earth cultivators entering Dragon Capital would proactively avoid White Tiger Mountain.

Suddenly, a potent aura flashed over White Tiger Mountain and rushed toward Dragon Capital, causing Jiang Feng to sense something amiss.

Over these years.

Great Zhou, Lin Family cultivators, and Blood Sea loose cultivators had always coexisted peacefully, with no large-scale conflicts.

Great Zhou’s territory has occupied most of the land beyond the Blood Sea, except for a few perilous places like Red Earth Forest and Forbidden Forest, which are closed off by prestigious families not daring to touch them, and most are within Great Zhou’s realm.

Lin Family cultivators and Blood Sea Immortal Venerable have long resided in Divine Sect Mansion, enclosing it within a hundred-mile circle turned into a Divine Sect Forbidden Area, including Sunset Town.

That’s a Great Zhou forbidden area.

Xiao Zhan’s forces have been roaming nearby for years but only served as surveillance, never daring to intrude.

Lin Family cultivators and Blood Sea loose cultivators have focused on the Divine Sect Mansion, seemingly mastering a way to breakthrough the restriction array inside, spending more time there. Rumor has it that Blood Sea Immortal Venerable has obtained a great opportunity and will successfully establish a foundation within twenty years.

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Zhan was tense and visited Jiang Feng at White Tiger Mountain three times for discussions, but Jiang Feng is more focused on Han Dong and advised Xiao Zhan to stay calm and not to act rashly.

Though both believe once Blood Sea Immortal Venerable breaks through and becomes a Foundation Establishment Powerhouse, he might break his promise and invade Dragon Capital to seize Underground Palace resources.

But those are just rumors.

Becoming a Foundation Establishment Powerhouse isn’t easy.

Even Jiang Feng, after more than seventy years, is still at Qi Condensation Perfection, showing no signs of breaking through.

But now when an aura heedlessly went toward Dragon Capital from White Tiger Mountain, regardless of the rumors of Blood Sea Immortal Venerable’s success, Jiang Feng couldn’t ignore the person.

The other couldn’t discover his spiritual sense.

His spiritual sense followed, but once the other entered Dragon Capital, Jiang Feng’s sense couldn’t extend further and had to leave White Tiger Mountain.

He flashed figuratively.

Activated the restriction array around the stone house, left Qinglong Cauldron in the room, and entered Dragon Capital together.

"Indeed, it’s for the Underground Palace."

Upon entering Dragon Capital, Jiang Feng’s spiritual sense enveloped the person.

Seeing the person performing Earth Escape from the South City Gate’s civilian area, escaping underground, successfully finding the underground passage, reaching the Underground Palace’s exterior, and observing the restriction array encasing the palace, the person frowned slightly and took out a talisman, throwing it at the array.

The restriction array rippled.

Then it devoured the talisman.

"Hiss."

The person gasped.

Her talisman, a mid-grade spirit talisman with the ability to break restriction arrays, was unexpectedly devoured by the Underground Palace’s restriction array without any noticeable disruption or breakthrough signs.

"Hmph!"

After the shock, she refused to believe it, took out another talisman, and threw it at the restriction array.

Whoosh!

At the same time, a white sword light flashed.

She invoked her flying sword, slashing at the restriction array.

"Bang!"

The talisman was devoured.

The flying sword was trapped by the restriction array. Her expression was grim, attempting to retrieve the sword, but a force propelled it—a bang reverberated as the sword bounced back, forcing her to cast a Dharma Seal, forming a Body-Protecting Shield. The sword’s rebound nearly broke the shield, almost injuring her.

"Impressively stronger than the restriction arrays within the Divine Sect Mansion, how to enter?"

The woman looked defeated.

She then took out a colorful flag, tossed out two more talismans, and used her flying sword, attempting to forcefully break the restriction array and raid the Underground Palace.

"Bang!"

The talisman was swallowed again; the colorful flag nearly got seized by the array’s suction power. The flying sword’s final strike couldn’t breach the defense layer, bouncing back again. Although prepared and caught it timely, she underestimated the counterforce, being repelled backward and slamming into the passage wall, causing cracks and bulges in the courtyard above.

"How dare they, wait for me!"

The woman was furious.

Once confirmed she couldn’t breach the extreme array.

She utilized Earth Escape to return the original path, flying southward.

"It’s her."

"Nearly eighty years have passed, yet she’s not only alive but has become a cultivator."

"Her cultivation method belongs to the Lin lineage. Could she have joined the Lin Family?"

As she departed, injured by the Underground Palace’s restriction array, Jiang Feng finally recognized her identity.

She was the girl among the father-daughter pair he met years ago on his first southern journey, journeying with Duan Baiwang’s caravan to the south.

Jiang Feng remembered the girl was named Huang Li, and her father was known as Old Huang, a sincere and warm-hearted person who wished to look after Jiang Feng on the lonely journey but was refused, causing Huang Li to feel he might be a bad person.

During the journey, Jiang Feng learned from Old Huang that he was from Sunset Town, wanting to return with Huang Li to enjoy retirement.

Unexpectedly, Sunset Town became a cursed place.

After entering, Old Huang emerged as a dried corpse, Huang Li witnessed the whole process, and Jiang Feng recalled her strong desire for revenge from her gaze.

He thought she wouldn’t survive long under Sunset Town’s harsh environment.

Unexpectedly, after all these years, not only did she survive, she became a cultivator with Qi Condensation Twelfth Layer at less than a century old.

This is explosive talent among Lin Family cultivators.

Uncertain if she gained huge opportunities, her current strength speaks volumes.

But her appearance brought Jiang Feng hope, perhaps allowing Huang Li to extend Han Dong’s longevity and help him break through to the Innate Level to become a cultivator.

So when Huang Li left Dragon Capital.

Jiang Feng left a trace of aura on her.

Both being Qi Condensation Perfection, there’s a notable disparity, as Huang Li couldn’t even detect Jiang Feng’s spiritual sense. The aura left on her unnoticed.

Watching her figure depart, Jiang Feng considered briefly and pursued, placing a mark on Huang Li again.

Understanding his subtle actions, Huang Li couldn’t detect them, but her superior might perceive them clearly—the mark and aura intended for those behind Huang Li.

Huang Li receded.

Jiang Feng returned to the stone house to continue caring for Han Dong.

Two days later.

Huang Li returned to Sunset Town, entered a courtyard.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as she entered, a sword qi suddenly lunged—although unprepared, even with preparation, she couldn’t block it, only shrieked before the sword qi pierced her.

She thought her end was near.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly fierce sword qi was genuinely gentle, like pure spiritual power nourishing her body, causing her heart to ache—a concealed discomfort—as it exited from behind.

Then, a voice emerged behind.

"No see for decades, long time no see!"

"Hmph!"

A cold voice echoed from the house.

"Disciple greets Master."

Huang Li knelt and bowed before a silhouette seated cross-legged within the house.

"Go to the mansion to train, don’t come out until you’ve taken hundred steps at the square."

Blood Sea Immortal Venerable ordered angrily.

Huang Li was sent to Dragon Capital to investigate the Underground Palace and accessing Jiang Feng’s strength, yet observing Huang Li’s Qi Condensation Peak cultivation oblivious to being marked and tracked by Jiang Feng—informed Blood Sea Immortal Venerable meant a warning through Huang Li.

"Yes!"

Huang Li kowtowed and bid farewell, exiting Sunset Town and flying toward Divine Sect Mansion.

"Soon, we’ll meet."

Blood Sea Immortal Venerable gazed toward Dragon Capital, murmuring leisurely.
