Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 596: Chapter 283: Advancement to Fourth-Grade Talisman Master

Jiang Feng initially felt lost in confusion, but once he understood the origins of the Dragon Capital Underground Palace and the Divine Sect Mansion, everything became clear to him.

It turns out the Blood Domain Divine Sect is the true Divine Sect.

The Divine Sect became the most powerful sect in the Blood Domain due to a successful grand scheme they pulled on all the major sects two hundred years ago. Over the years, conflicts between the major sects and the Divine Sect have surely existed, yet no one has managed to overthrow the Divine Sect.

However, the Blood Domain Divine Sect is different from the Central Earth Divine Sect, and Jiang Feng had no personal grudges with them. Even if the Divine Sect dominated the Blood Domain, it had nothing to do with him.

But that was before.

Now that he had become a Talisman Master of Cyan Cloud Sect, if Cyan Cloud Sect bore a grudge and planned revenge against the Divine Sect, it would pose a colossal danger to Jiang Feng.

He crossed through the Forbidden Forest, following the Nether King River downstream, only to seek refuge and shake off the people from the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall.

Unexpectedly.

He jumped from one small pit into another big one.

The people from the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall were temporarily shaken off.

But he encountered Huang Li within Cyan Cloud Sect, whose strength was close to the Golden Core Realm. If it weren’t for Huang Li’s memory loss, forgetting past events, their encounter at the Academy would have been the end of Jiang Feng.

Now that things had come to this, if Cyan Cloud Sect were to go against the Divine Sect, it would indeed be the greatest of misfortunes.

So, Jiang Feng cautiously asked, "With such a deep enmity, haven’t the major factions thought of joining forces to remove the Divine Sect?"

"Of course they have!"

"We cultivators fear no battle!"

Xiang Pangyun declared firmly.

"All factions fought against the Divine Sect for a hundred years, paying a bitter price, yet they never managed to destroy the Divine Sect. Eventually, for the sake of legacy, the forces that were wronged by the Divine Sect formed an alliance. If the Divine Sect dared to attack any faction, everyone would join forces to retaliate, united as one."

"After a century of development, although they have somewhat restored vitality, the Divine Sect has also become so powerful that no one can defeat it collectively."

Changyun sighed.

"But why aren’t these matters recorded in the Blood God Book?"

Jiang Feng asked again.

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Pangyun and Changyun both laughed, but the laughter sounded rather desolate.

"The Blood God Book originated from the Divine Sect; how could the Divine Sect write about their own scandals in it?"

Xiang Pangyun mocked.

"The Blood God Book is the Divine Sect’s fig leaf; over the years, all major factions have been too angry to speak out."

Changyun said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng felt inwardly relieved.

Now that the Divine Sect stood alone in dominance, forces like Cyan Cloud Sect, although they harbored resentment against the Divine Sect, dared not do anything against them. Similarly, with all factions united, the Divine Sect didn’t dare take action against them either.

Thus, Cyan Cloud Sect seemed relatively safe; at least in the short term, he didn’t have to worry about a conflict between Cyan Cloud Sect and the Divine Sect that would involve him.

Therefore, the biggest problem at the moment lay with Huang Li.

So Jiang Feng feigned indifference, saying, "With the Divine Sect being so malicious, deserving of everyone’s wrath, I’m just not sure how to deal with the grudge between me and Junior Sister?"

"Hahahaha!"

Xiang Pangyun and Changyun laughed again.

"What the entire Cyan Cloud Sect lacks most now are Talisman Masters. Even if you are only a First-Grade Talisman Master, the sect won’t easily give up on you, especially since the grudge between you and Junior Sister happened before you both joined Cyan Cloud Sect. Now that everyone has become a family, you should let go of past grudges and reconcile with a smile."

Xiang Pangyun advised earnestly.

"Master Uncle is right, but... I’m just afraid Junior Sister might not be able to let this grudge go."

Jiang Feng was not optimistic.

Of course, he could easily let bygones be bygones, as he wasn’t the one who suffered the loss earlier.

Moreover, in the presence of others, he had deceived Huang Li once again, and there was no guarantee that Huang Li wouldn’t harbor a grudge. Even if she didn’t dare to kill him openly, any covert actions would undoubtedly bring endless trouble to him.

"When the time comes, you can apologize to Junior Sister. If it doesn’t work, we two will back you up. For the sake of the sect, Junior Sister certainly won’t make things difficult for you."

Changyun said lightly.

"This... sigh, you don’t understand her. Back in Sunset Town, her father was tricked out of town by a few residents and died outside the city. She held a grudge against everyone for it. After advancing in her cultivation, she killed everyone in the town. I don’t believe she will let go of her grudge and reconcile with me after regaining her memory."

Jiang Feng shook his head.

Hearing this, Xiang Pangyun and Changyun only then realized the seriousness of the situation.

The two contemplated for a moment, and Xiang Pangyun said, "How about this? I’ll personally explain the grudge between you and Junior Sister to the Sect Leader. I will ensure no matter what, I’ll ask the Sect Leader to protect you."

"The Sect Leader is wise and fair; he won’t favor anyone in your dispute with Junior Sister, so rest assured!"

Changyun chimed in.

Jiang Feng continued shaking his head.

He said, "I’m just a First-Grade Talisman Master. If Huang Li defies the Sect Leader and kills me in secret, the most the Sect Leader would do is punish her symbolically. It wouldn’t serve as a deterrent unless..."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Changyun asked.

"Unless I become a Second-Grade Talisman Master or a Third-Grade Talisman Master."

Jiang Feng said seriously.

"With your potential, you’ll eventually be promoted to second-grade, even third-grade. Don’t rush it now; I will find ways to keep you safe. If you remain uneasy, you can stay beside me, and I can assure you, no one will harm you."

Xiang Pangyun assured him with equal seriousness, worried that Jiang Feng might develop a heart demon from fear, hindering his future promotion.

"Thank you, Master Uncle. Even if you want to chase me away, I will stay by your side. However, being a First-Grade Talisman Master won’t do; I need to at least be a Second-Grade Talisman Master to feel secure."
