Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 527: Chapter 258: Fate Cannot Be Defied (3)

A terrifying aura boiled out from his body, spreading in all directions.

The Three-tailed Wolf King, who was prowling beyond the outer ring, had a sudden change of expression. It arrived atop a pavilion, staring at Jiang Feng who was sitting on the plaza.

Its three tails swayed back and forth, sensing the changes in Jiang Feng’s aura. Barings its teeth, it howled a few times.

"Boom!"

A circular ripple surged outwards, raging toward the residential houses around the plaza. Many houses shattered under this wave, but those hiding fortune remained unscathed, and some even devoured the force of the ripple entirely.

Jiang Feng felt as if enlightenment was pouring into his mind.

He felt all the power, from top to bottom, merging with this world. But faintly, there still seemed to be an invisible barrier not yet fully broken through.

He flipped his palm over.

Spiritual power surged out, condensing into a sphere in his palm. Jiang Feng observed carefully and found that the spiritual power had actually become transparent. He tossed the sphere out.

"Boom boom!"

The ground of the plaza shook.

A large pit appeared ahead.

One must know, the Underground Palace was unbelievably tough—not only covered by a restriction array outside, but the bricks and stones inside were also of extraordinary quality. When the Cyan Snake King had previously entered, attempting to use Earth Escape to get out, the restriction array blocked its path. Even within, Earth Escape moved much slower than on the outside, and diving in, the Cyan Snake King’s scale armor even showed signs of shedding.

And now, a mere sphere of spiritual power could blast a large pit into the plaza. This was something Jiang Feng had been incapable of before. He felt this power now could rival the Lin Family’s three elders wielding the Seven-Star Sword Technique.

"Awoo!"

The Three-tailed Wolf King charged over from afar.

Its body landed on the plaza, scorching flames boiling around it. Seeing the large pit Jiang Feng had blasted into the plaza, its features twisted viciously and it howled, "Human, though you can freely enter and leave the Underground Palace, you must cherish everything here like I do. If you dare destroy anything—death!"

Having spoken, the Three-tailed Wolf King swung a paw at Jiang Feng.

"Senior, please calm yourself!"

Jiang Feng was startled. He quickly gathered spiritual power into his arm, slapping it against the Wolf King’s claws.

"Bang!"

Jiang Feng’s body was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall at the tunnel entrance. He saw four bloody claw marks on his arm—those left by the Wolf King’s claws.

"If this happens again—death!"

The Three-tailed Wolf King finished, then turned and headed back into the depths of the Underground Palace.

"This guy is getting stronger and stronger."

Jiang Feng’s heart still fluttered with fear, knowing that the Wolf King had only wanted to teach him a lesson—just a warning. But what he didn’t expect was that after all these decades, the Wolf King had become so terrifyingly strong.

That strike just now almost broke his arm.

"Destroying the Underground Palace was just an excuse. It just wanted to take the chance to warn me, stop me from causing trouble, like the last time when I led Xiao Zhan’s men in here."

Jiang Feng grumbled inwardly.

Having spent decades in the Underground Palace, how could he not know whether damage could be done here? Leaving a mere large pit in the plaza was hardly anything severe.

The Three-tailed Wolf King’s only aim was to intimidate him, to keep him from getting carried away after his power breakthrough and causing trouble for it.

But Jiang Feng could only swallow this silent loss.

Anyway, it was just some minor injuries—not a big deal. He also hoped he could maintain peaceful relations with the Wolf King.

So he checked his status panel.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 4,600,327

Cultivation Technique: Yang Technique (Perfection), Foundation Establishment Technique (Beginner+)

Skills: God-Binding Finger (Perfection), Alchemy (Proficient+), Rune Secret Spell Basics (Proficient+), Blood God Curse (Perfection+)

Realm: Half-Step Foundation Establishment

Divine Power: Immortality

"Half-Step Foundation Establishment? What’s going on? Didn’t I succeed in Foundation Establishment?"

Jiang Feng scrolled line by line, and when he saw the words "Half-Step Foundation Establishment" in his realm, he nearly exploded.

"How could this be—are you fucking with me?"

Jiang Feng grabbed his hair.

He’d finally saved up enough Fortune Points to upgrade the Yang Technique, spent a full 16 million points, and still hadn’t succeeded in Foundation Establishment?

"There must be something wrong somewhere."

"No rush, let me think carefully."

"Where exactly is the problem?"

Jiang Feng paced back and forth in the plaza.

Soon, he sat down in the center of the plaza again, taking out book after book from his space ring. Over the years, he’d had Xiao Zhan find him a lot of books about Foundation Establishment and cultivation.

He’d read quite a few of them.

He wasn’t ignorant about Foundation Establishment.

"Human Dao Foundation Establishment, Divine Dao Foundation Establishment, Earth Dao Foundation Establishment, Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment."

"Fuck, so that’s the problem!"

Jiang Feng slapped his thigh hard.

There were four types of Foundation Establishment.

Human, Divine, Earth, Celestial.

Human Dao Foundation Establishment is the weakest, Celestial the strongest.

Ever since he obtained the Foundation Establishment Technique in the Underground Palace, Jiang Feng had always wanted to achieve Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment—he’d been dreaming of this for years.

He knew his own aptitude was poor, so he had to lay a solid foundation.

Yet when breaking through, he’d actually forgotten all about this.

He’d only advanced his power and level to Foundation Establishment, but never laid the proper realm and foundation.

"The issue lies with the Foundation Establishment Technique all along."

"I was so focused on upgrading the Yang Technique, I forgot to change you."

"Well, then—I’ve still got over four million Fortune Points. I’ll put them all into you and see if I can succeed in Foundation Establishment and lay my foundation."

As clarity dawned on Jiang Feng.

He put all 4.6 million Fortune Points into the Foundation Establishment Technique.

The status panel changed.

Fortune: None

Cultivation Technique: Yang Technique (Perfection), Foundation Establishment Technique—Beginner (46/100)

Realm: Half-Step Foundation Establishment

"What the—"

"This..."

"Four million six hundred thousand Fortune Points, and I still can’t even reach the Beginner stage? What the hell is this Foundation Establishment Technique? Will I ever have hope of achieving Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment in this life?"
