Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 559: Chapter 269: Killing the Old Master, Fortune Soars_3

"But this Upper Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual is said to only allow cultivation up to the Divine Realm Peak. Pouring so many Fortune Points into it seems a bit wasteful."

"I’ve offended the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall. If I want to seek protection, I must possess extraordinary talent to gain the shelter of other powers. I can’t neglect Martial Arts Realm cultivation, nor abandon my cultivation foundation."

"Then I’ll raise everything!"

After weighing the pros and cons.

Jiang Feng added twelve million Fortune Points into the Foundation Establishment Technique.

The panel information shifted.

Fortune: 10,771,755

Cultivation Technique: Foundation Establishment Technique—Minor Achievement（23-150）

Cultivation Realm: First-Layer Foundation Establishment (Divine Dao)

"No way, it takes fifteen million Fortune Points just to break through the Minor Achievement stage?"

"Damn, my Foundation Establishment Base hasn’t changed. At least I have to upgrade the Foundation Establishment Technique to Great Success to stand a chance of advancing."

"If I use up all my remaining Fortune Points on the Foundation Establishment Technique, my base still won’t change. Looks like my only option is to boost the Divine Sect Treasure Manual."

Jiang Feng pondered for a moment.

Then he put over 770,000 Fortune Points into the Divine Sect Treasure Manual.

The panel information changed.

Fortune: 10,000,000

Cultivation Technique: Divine Sect Treasure Manual—Upper Part (Great Success+)

Martial Arts Realm: Divine Realm (Peak)

"This... upgrades so quickly?"

Jiang Feng was dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, he was doubting his place in the world, lamenting the slow climbing of his cultivation realm, but in the next instant, he was speechless, shocked by how fast his martial arts power had changed.

"How can this be?"

"Is strengthening my power actually easier than firming my foundation?"

Jiang Feng’s mouth hung open. He felt that investing all his Fortune Points into the Divine Sect Treasure Manual would give him unexpected Martial Arts Realm power.

Luckily, after cultivating for over a century and weathering many storms, he knew everything could be a scam—except Fortune Points would never deceive him.

Martial Arts Realm power rising this fast must have other hidden reasons.

Unable to figure it out right now, he put another two million Fortune Points into the Divine Sect Treasure Manual.

Fortune: 8,000,000

Cultivation Technique: Divine Sect Treasure Manual—Upper Part (Great Perfection)

Martial Arts Realm: Divine Realm (Peak)

Seeing the panel change, Jiang Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He’d cultivated the Upper Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual to Great Perfection, but his Martial Arts Realm power was still at Divine Realm Peak?

He felt baffled.

Unable to resist, he circulated his martial power and discovered that although he was still at Peak stage, his current peak was much stronger than just moments ago. If he used his current power to unleash the Mysterious Nether Spear Technique, he could catch the old master off guard, break through the Thousand Swords Lock Dragon Array, and ensure that he wouldn’t be injured by the Thousand Rain Sword.

It was still "peak," yet there was an essential change.

"For Martial Arts Realm cultivators, even at the same level, strength can differ enormously. It seems you reach the peak, but breaking through is even harder than for cultivators?"

"Maybe that’s the strength and weakness of Martial Arts Realm experts."

"Once you step into a new domain, you can soar forward within it, but trying to break through again is harder than reaching heaven itself?"

"The way Xiao Zhan’s strength skyrocketed back in the day—apart from his secrets—could it be because of this too?"

Jiang Feng pondered for a long time, feeling it was possible, but there was no actual evidence.

"No matter, I’ll focus on solidifying my foundation first!"

Jiang Feng then put eight million Fortune Points into the Foundation Establishment Technique. He needed outstanding talent to gain the protection of other forces.

As for advancing in the Martial Arts Realm, Jiang Feng could only seek out the middle and lower parts of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual.

The panel information changed.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: None

Cultivation Technique: Yang Technique (Perfection), Foundation Establishment Technique—Minor Achievement（103-150）, Divine Sect Treasure Manual—Upper Part (Great Perfection)

Skills: Alchemy (Mastery), Rune Secret Spell Basics (Mastery), Qi Condensing Pill (Proficient)

Cultivation Realm: First-Layer Foundation Establishment (Divine Dao)

Martial Arts Realm: Divine Realm (Peak)

Divine Power: Immortality

After a brief rest in the cave and replenishing his Vitality, Jiang Feng continued on his way toward Red Earth Forest.

He took a wide detour, just to avoid running into Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall members.

And as he left the cave, that giant hunting falcon—with wings outstretched nearly the size of all of Sunset Town—soared up with Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall disciples from the location of the Divine Sect Mansion, flying straight toward the place where the old master had fallen.

"He’s badly injured—he can’t get far."

"If he’s fleeing, he’ll likely head deep into the Forbidden Forest, or toward the Blood Domain to seek shelter."

"Now’s our best opportunity to kill him—we can’t let him escape!"

Inside the palace atop the hunting falcon, the Saintess spoke with murderous intent.

"Junior sister, you’re hurt, rest first. Don’t worry, I’ll take revenge for Master and bring Jiang Feng to you."

The handsome senior brother Lü Su replied confidently.

"He has a Divine Dao Foundation Establishment base, and he’s a dual cultivator in both immortality and martial arts. Master only fell to his trap because of that."

The Saintess reminded him.

"Don’t worry—even if Jiang Feng can also cultivate Demon Dao, this time he has nowhere to run."

Lü Su replied solemnly.

"Mhm."

The Saintess looked deeply moved.

"Caw!"

The giant hunting falcon flapped its wings, each beat sending gales sweeping downward, making it impossible for the cultivators below to even look up.

The falcon, possessing Foundation Establishment-level power of its own, needs the background of Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall to swagger around in the Blood Domain, but here in Central Earth, it’s fearless. Each flight causes a huge disturbance, teaching local loose cultivators a lesson.

"Brother Hunting Falcon, the Dragon Bone Bow in Jiang Feng’s hands is an innate magical treasure—its arrows never miss, and he won’t rest until the target is dead. Be careful. Senior Brother Bai died under his arrow."
