Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 535: Chapter 261: Centennial Foundation Establishment

"On Penglai Island in Chishui County."

Xiao Junyi replied.

"Alright, I got it."

Jiang Feng actually knew nothing about Penglai Island, and he had barely even been to Chishui County.

"When will the National Preceptor depart?"

Xiao Junyi asked.

Jiang Feng looked at Xiao Junyi but said nothing.

"I humbly beg the National Preceptor to set out as soon as possible. If you’re late, I’m afraid... my grandfather will be in danger."

Xiao Junyi lowered his head and choked with emotion.

"I’ve suddenly realized a problem."

Jiang Feng rubbed his forehead and spoke.

"What problem?"

Xiao Junyi was a bit uneasy.

"If I leave Dragon Capital, who will protect you—no, who will guard Dragon Capital? If I leave and the Great Zhou’s lands fall into the Lin Family Cultivator’s hands, how shall I answer to your grandfather?"

Jiang Feng said seriously, his face grave.

"Well... National Preceptor, don’t worry. As long as you can rescue my grandfather, even if Dragon Capital falls to the Lin Family, you all can take it back later on."

Xiao Junyi replied with naive sincerity.

"No, I can’t leave. The reason your grandfather called all the Purple Bamboo Forest Cultivators away is because Dragon Capital has me guarding it, so he doesn’t worry about its safety. If I just walk away, I might ruin your grandfather’s plans."

Jiang Feng shook his head.

"That’s impossible, my grandfather needs—"

"You’re young, there are many things you don’t understand. I’ll send you down."

Xiao Junyi still wanted to persuade him, but Jiang Feng swept him down the mountain with his sleeve.

"Emperor!"

Two Martial Cultivators saw Xiao Junyi tumble from the mountain all the way to the foot, and were frightened out of their wits, scrambling to help him up.

"Don’t touch me!"

Xiao Junyi angrily flung their hands away. He was covered in mud, with weeds and fallen leaves caught on his crown. He looked up to the mountain top, mouth open wanting to call out to Jiang Feng, but swallowed his words, leaving dejected and helpless in the end.

"Just be a good emperor. King Xiao has the protection of Heaven; he won’t be harmed."

Jiang Feng saw that Xiao Junyi had no idea that Xiao Zhan was setting a trap for him, truly believing Xiao Zhan was trapped in the Ancient Ruins Array and on the brink of life and death.

"National Preceptor..."

Xiao Junyi glanced back at the mountain, then bowed low toward the summit, kowtowed several times, and only then returned to the royal chariot.

He hoped Jiang Feng would go to rescue Xiao Zhan.

"If Xiao Zhan wants to kill me, he will definitely be well prepared. Maybe he has already broken through to Divine Realm; even if I don’t go to him, he will come for me."

Jiang Feng understood clearly that unless he left Great Zhou and abandoned the Underground Palace, Xiao Zhan would always keep him in mind.

Even after he left, Xiao Zhan would still covet the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron on him, especially Qinglong Cauldron, the key to freely entering and exiting the Underground Palace. Xiao Zhan would never let it go easily.

Jiang Feng was out of options. He left Black Iron Mountain and entered the Underground Palace.

Once again, he sat cross-legged in the plaza.

His Spiritual Sense spread in all directions, and he saw the Three-tailed Wolf King wandering near the outer ring.

Man and wolf, their eyes met.

The Three-tailed Wolf King saw him seated in the plaza and seemed to realize something, a look of surprise flashing in its eyes.

It vaguely remembered that last time Jiang Feng sat cross-legged in the plaza, it was to break through his cultivation, ultimately reaching Half-Step Foundation Establishment.

Could he now possess the ability to ascend to Foundation Establishment?

After all, Foundation Establishment Realm was not easily attained.

Jiang Feng glanced at his Fortune Point.

After all these years together, he knew the Three-tailed Wolf King wouldn’t make trouble for him in the Underground Palace. He immediately allocated 600,000 Fortune Points to his Foundation Establishment Technique.

The panel information changed.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 5,000,177

Cultivation Technique: Yang Technique (Perfection) Foundation Establishment Technique - Beginner (5-100)

Skills: Alchemy (Proficient+) Rune Secret Spell Basics (Mastery+) Blood God Curse (Perfection+) Qi Condensing Pill (Beginner+)

Realm: Human Dao Foundation Establishment

Divine Power: Immortality

Jiang Feng felt the transparent Spiritual Power turn into an ocean, covering his entire Spiritual Sense area; it was as if his senses automatically upgraded into many spikes, and just opening his eyes was enough to strike terror into Qi Condensation Realm cultivators.

This kind of pressure, emanating from inside out, needed no spiritual power to augment it; a mere thought could generate a tremendous aura of oppression.

Jiang Feng finally tasted the flavor of Foundation Establishment Realm.

That solidity, the ease with which he could invoke Divine Power, was something he’d never possessed before.

He’d thought each Foundation Establishment would trigger a heaven-and-earth phenomenon or uncontrollable spiritual power surges, but found that at the moment of breakthrough, all bodily anomalies could be subdued by a single thought.

All Spiritual Energy was sealed within his body, not leaking a bit.

He gazed at the Three-tailed Wolf King.

The Three-tailed Wolf King’s bloody fur bristled, its whole body igniting with blazing flames, still thinking Jiang Feng was provoking it, a look of warning and wariness on its face.

"Brother Wolf, I wonder: with my current strength, can I enter the Underground Palace’s second layer?"

Jiang Feng suppressed his aura and asked with a smile.

Outer ring, inner ring?

After exploring the Underground Palace for a hundred years, Jiang Feng had long discovered that it wasn’t as simple as the Three-tailed Wolf King had said—just an outer and inner ring.

It seemed divided into several layers.

The area where he was now was the very outermost region of the Underground Palace.

After breaking through, Jiang Feng could tell that the Three-tailed Wolf King’s cultivation had also reached Foundation Establishment; as for the grade of its foundation, he wasn’t sure.

Yet the Three-tailed Wolf King had been able to roam the next layer long ago; Jiang Feng thought this was related to Foundation Establishment Realm strength.

"You haven’t even figured out the outer layer. Even if you enter the next layer, what then?"

The Three-tailed Wolf King replied disdainfully.

It turned and vanished from Jiang Feng’s sight.

Jiang Feng frowned. The Three-tailed Wolf King hadn’t directly forbade him entry; perhaps he should give it a try.
