Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 595: Chapter 282: Unveiling the Secret (Part 2)

"The assessment is over. If there’s nothing else, everyone can go back!"

"Changyun, you and Jiang Liu’er stay behind. I have some matters to address!"

Xiang Pangyun sent the others away.

"Master, I’ll head back first."

Qu Yiguang nodded to Changyun and bowed to the other senior members.

"Junior Brother, I’ll wait for you at Xiaolin Peak to host a welcoming banquet."

Bai Yang waved at Jiang Feng.

Today he was truly amazed. Jiang Feng had become a Talisman Master in a little over a month. Luckily, he was clever enough not to offend Jiang Feng and even managed to build a good relationship with him.

"No rush. I’ll come find you once I’m done with my business."

Jiang Feng smiled slightly.

Bai Yang had been dragged here by Huang Li; if Huang Li regained her memory, she would definitely not spare him and those close to him.

Therefore, if it wasn’t necessary, Jiang Feng didn’t want to implicate Bai Yang.

"Hmph, better go back and train for a few more years."

Qiu Shan left in displeasure.

"Yes."

Ma Weidong dared not talk back and followed behind Qiu Shan.

Very soon.

On the second floor of the Main Hall, only Jiang Feng, Xiang Pangyun, and Changyun remained.

Xiang Pangyun smiled and said, "If I’m not mistaken, you’ve never saved Junior Sister, and you might actually have a grudge with her, right?"

Jiang Feng dropped his usual demeanor.

When Ma Weidong was undergoing the assessment, he never showed any signs of wanting to take the assessment. It wasn’t until Huang Li flew over with Bai Yang from a distance that he suddenly stood up to participate.

Xiang Pangyun had noticed this detail at the time but didn’t think much of it. He simply thought Jiang Feng hesitated before deciding to help Changyun save face by taking the assessment.

Now it seemed Huang Li must have startled him.

Otherwise, why would he ask so many strange questions after becoming a Talisman Master?

"What exactly did you do to offend Junior Sister? Jiang Liu’er isn’t your real name, right?"

Changyun followed up, asking.

Like Xiang Pangyun, he was cunning and shrewd.

Jiang Feng’s earlier comment about being protected by Junior Sister seemed like a self-justification, making him realize that Jiang Feng’s relationship with Huang Li was not simple.

"Disciple dares not deceive Master and Uncle any longer. That’s right, I’ve never saved Junior Sister, and my name isn’t Jiang Liu’er; it’s Jiang Feng."

Jiang Feng bowed to the two and then spoke with sincerity.

Huang Li was about to regain her memory, and Jiang Feng had no way out, so he could only be honest with them. Otherwise, if he continued to hide and Huang Li came for him, Xiang Pangyun and Changyun would also find out the truth.

So this was the only resort.

Jiang Feng could only confess honestly, hoping Xiang Pangyun and Changyun could help him, telling him how to avoid being threatened by Huang Li.

"Since that’s the case, why did you come back to Cyan Cloud Sect with me?"

Changyun asked angrily.

"I initially didn’t know she would be in your Cyan Cloud Sect. I’m not a cultivator from the Blood Domain; I come from the Central Earth side. I caused some trouble there, offending the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall, and I killed their old Hall Master. They set a web for me in Central Earth. To survive, under a friend’s guidance, I fled to the Blood Domain along the Nether King River. He told me that joining Cyan Cloud Sect would prevent the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall from touching me. I didn’t expect to encounter Huang Li here."

Jiang Feng explained everything clearly.

If Yagu Peak hadn’t recently suffered heavy losses and urgently needed a Talisman Master, Jiang Feng would not have dared to lay everything out and might have chosen to leave.

So at this moment, he kept observing the subtle changes in Xiang Pangyun’s expression.

If there was any problem, he would immediately retreat!

"So Little Junior Sister’s name is Huang Li. Do you know about her past? How did you offend her? Tell us everything you know!"

Xiang Pangyun asked eagerly.

"Alright."

The words were already out, and there was no point in Jiang Feng continuing to hide it. Huang Li would soon regain her memory anyway.

So, he began from their first meeting and continued to the incident at the Divine Sect Mansion, where he nearly chopped down Huang Li with a single slash, telling everything to Xiang Pangyun and Changyun.

"Dragon Capital Underground Palace, Divine Sect Mansion!"

Hearing this, Changyun and Xiang Pangyun were drawn in by these two places and suddenly lost interest in the conflict between Jiang Feng and Huang Li.

"Two abandoned battlefields, yet so many people fight so fiercely to get in."

"Back then, each sect and faction was used by the Divine Sect to cross the Sea of Blood into Central Earth, thinking there was supreme opportunity, only to find out in the end it was all for the Divine Sect’s benefit."

Xiang Pangyun and Changyun spoke with a melancholy tone.

They seemed very informed about the Dragon Capital Underground Palace and the Divine Sect Mansion.

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Feng asked.

"Over two hundred years ago, although the Divine Sect was strong in the Blood Domain, it wasn’t yet capable of covering the sky with one hand like now.

Back then, they frequently entered and exited Central Earth, and every time disciples returned, their strength increased significantly. Over time, each sect and faction believed there was supreme opportunity in Central Earth, competing to go explore. The Divine Sect took advantage of this, using the allure of opportunity to coerce the sects and factions to rush into the underground palace and mansion, fighting over the opportunity inside.

In the end, the major sects suffered heavy casualties and gained nothing from the underground palace and mansion. Eventually, people discovered that the Dragon Capital Underground Palace and Divine Sect Mansion were traps set by the Divine Sect, luring people inside and sealing them with arrays and restrictions from outside, intending to trap everyone inside to death.

The few who managed to escape were mostly all killed by them.

To get out, the sects and factions tried everything, but since they initially fought amongst themselves for the opportunity, they suffered heavy losses. Even when they united afterward, they couldn’t break the Divine Sect’s defense.

To prevent their magical treasures and cultivation techniques from falling into Divine Sect’s hands, they destroyed everything they could, leaving what they couldn’t destroy inside the underground palace. Together, they set up layers of restriction arrays to prevent Divine Sect from obtaining it."

Xiang Pangyun reminisced slowly.

"To unify the Blood Domain, Divine Sect spent a fortune in Central Earth, using many refining materials to construct the underground palace and Divine Sect Mansion.

Inside, there were traps with arrays.

Outside, there were flying swords and magical artifacts blocking, with defensive arrays stopping them.

Whether it was the Dragon Capital Underground Palace or Divine Sect Mansion, experts from our Cyan Cloud Sect have all been there.

Among those trapped back then, there were many Dharma Kings.

These people, although unable to break through the defense arrays set up by Divine Sect in advance, blocking the outside flying swords and magical artifacts, could gather the power of the crowd inside Divine Sect Mansion and Dragon Capital Underground Palace to set up layers of more complex restriction arrays.

Knowing they couldn’t get out and wanting to vent their anger, they even left some cultivation techniques and magical artifacts to lure the Divine Sect disciples in.

Our Cyan Cloud Sect left behind a cauldron in the Dragon Capital Underground Palace, an innate magical treasure called the Qinglong Cauldron."

Changyun followed up.

"My father was trapped in the Dragon Capital Underground Palace. Back then, he was only in his thirties and already had a Foundation Establishment cultivation. He wielded the Civil Servant Sword and was one of the leading figures among the younger generation in the Blood Domain. If he were still here, he’d surely be able to take a piece out of the Divine Sect!"

Changyun clenched his fist and spoke fiercely.

"Qinglong Cauldron, Civil Servant Sword?"

Jiang Feng’s mouth dropped open.

The Qinglong Cauldron was a magical artifact of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

The corpse sitting inside the civilian house of the underground palace, was it Changyun’s father?

"Don’t even think about obtaining them. The restriction arrays set up by our ancestors aren’t so easily breached. To prevent experts from various sects from rescuing others, Divine Sect created many more layers of restriction arrays, leaving various traps. If you don’t grasp the key, you won’t make it in, and even if you do, it’s a brush with death."

Xiang Pangyun assumed Jiang Feng was tempted by the innate magical treasures.

"Speaking of keys, I truly admire those Dharma Kings at the time. The restriction arrays they left in the Divine Sect Mansion require mastery of a body technique to pass through. And that body technique, they jointly created it to lure Divine Sect disciples in. They even took care to tell the body technique mantra to people outside, yet the body technique can hardly be cultivated, and almost nobody can learn it."

Changyun continued.

"You’re talking about the Three-legged Body Technique. It’s not that it can’t be learned, but to master it, one needs a powerful spiritual root and must practice night and day. To retaliate against Divine Sect, so that their best disciples would come to train in something most useless, the Dharma Kings came up with this trick."

"Hahaha, the Divine Sect really suffered for this. To obtain the treasures and wealth left by the various sects and factions, they tempted many disciples to train in the Three-legged Body Technique. I remember a person named Liu Jinhu, reportedly with an upper-grade spiritual root, ended up failing because of the Three-legged Body Technique and only achieved Human Dao Foundation Establishment."

Amid their excitement, Changyun laughed heartily.
