Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius

A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.

Due to Jiu Long, the three of them couldn't return to the Eastern Region immediately.

If they brought such a giant demon back to the city, it would likely incite the entire Heroic Spirit City of human cultivators to attack them, just thinking about it was headache-inducing.

The three had no choice but to wait until Jiu Long could revert to human form.

Gu Feng was already a cultivator at the Golden Elixir Realm, with the added power of a seven-colored Golden Elixir within him.

Although his cultivation was only at the first level of the Golden Elixir Realm, it was estimated that few at the same level could rival him. Even when facing cultivators of the Elemental Infant Realm, he already had the ability to protect himself.

Gu Liantian inquired about what Gu Feng had experienced during his time in seclusion and the origin of his Innate Dao Embryo.

Gu Feng spoke slowly, revealing his entire plan, including how he intended to use Gu Liantian's destiny divine sense, in conjunction with Immortal Spirit Communication and the Sharing Flying Sword, to reap the "chives" of the cultivators in Heroic Spirit City.

Hearing this, Gu Liantian couldn't help but laugh and cry, somewhat admiring yet slightly reproachful as he said, "You rascal, you're so bold. No wonder a Sage Tribulation descended; you're defying the heavens, indirectly creating a cultivation method!"

Raising an eyebrow, Gu Feng was a bit bewildered. He had merely used his previous life's business experience and the population dividend of the cultivation world to engage in some opportunistic schemes.

However, upon reflection, Gu Liantian's words made some sense. After all, Gu Feng's approach was unprecedented and unparalleled.

If he were simply using this to earn spirit stones, it would be one thing, but it also accelerated his cultivation progress at an astonishing rate.

"Sigh..."

Gu Liantian let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Since you've already taken this step, there's no turning back. In the future, you'll have to explore on your own. Given time, your achievements might even surpass your father's."

The path of cultivation is exceptionally arduous, and once the bow is drawn, there's no turning back. Gu Feng had already embarked on his own cultivation journey, irreversible and unstoppable.

Although his entire set of cunning maneuvers still had significant flaws, he could only rely on himself to gradually perfect them later on.

Perhaps he could truly achieve great things, and founding a sect might not be out of the question.

Nodding, Gu Feng didn't think that far ahead; he just wanted to live as comfortably and with as much dignity as possible in this world.

However, all of this required strength as a foundation.

When it was mentioned that the Innate Dao Embryo was a gift from the remnant soul within his body, Gu Liantian's eyes were filled with melancholy.

After a long while, he stood up, gazing at the Boundless Sea behind him, lost in endless memories.

Gu Feng wanted to ask his father about his mother, who she was, and why she left a remnant soul within him. Even during the critical moment of his recent tribulation crossing, it was this remnant soul's last bit of strength that helped him resist the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth's Buddhist Chant.

But when he saw his father's somewhat desolate back, the words reached his lips but were swallowed back down.

Perhaps now wasn't the time. One day, when Gu Liantian felt it necessary to explain to Gu Feng, the truth would naturally come to light.

Thinking this, Gu Feng felt at ease.

Staring at the distant coastline of the Boundless Sea, Gu Liantian pondered for a long time.

After a moment, he turned around, his resolute face showing no trace of emotion. He looked at Gu Feng, his eyes filled with determination, and asked, "Feng, now that you're a cultivator at the Golden Elixir Realm, do you have any suitable cultivation artifacts or flying swords?"@@novelbin@@

Gu Feng was slightly taken aback, suddenly recalling the protective artifacts he had thrown out like beans during his tribulation crossing. He chuckled awkwardly, "I had prepared many, but during the tribulation crossing, in a moment of panic, I fed them all to the tribulation lightning. However, I still have a flying sword..."

As he spoke, Gu Feng retrieved the Bright Moon Shuttle given to him by the Immortal Messenger of the Divine King from his white jade Ring Storage.

As soon as the Bright Moon Shuttle appeared, it emitted a silver radiance, with the blade flashing coldly and exuding a strong aura of slaughter.

"What a sharp flying sword!"

Even Gu Liantian couldn't help but praise it upon seeing the artifact, quickly asking, "Where did you get such a treasure?"

With an embarrassed smile, Gu Feng truthfully recounted the incident of extorting the Immortal Messenger of the Divine King to Gu Liantian.

Hearing this, Gu Liantian's forehead was full of black lines, and he even admired the boy a bit, as he wasn't very attentive to serious matters but was quite adept at reading the situation and exploiting opportunities!

Not bothering to comment on whether Gu Feng's actions were right or wrong, Gu Liantian directly changed the subject, saying, "Now you can try refining this treasure, so you'll have something to rely on in future battles."

With that, Gu Liantian took out a jade slip, handed it to Gu Feng, and said, "The jade slip contains the secret cultivation method of the Gu Family's unique technique, the Void Shattering Hand. Now that your cultivation is profound, you are qualified to delve into this path. Be sure to study it well in the future, and don't disgrace the Gu Family!"

Pausing for a moment, Gu Liantian seemed to recall something and took out a golden orb, which was the defensive artifact he used to resist Ancestor Wan Ku earlier.

Waving his hand to erase all his imprints on the artifact, Gu Liantian handed it to Gu Feng, saying, "This is the Great Yan Fiery Sun Pearl, a defensive Earth Rank artifact I acquired during my travels in the Western Region in my youth. It has accompanied me through many battles, and today I gift it to you."

Receiving the jade slip and artifact, Gu Feng was filled with gratitude, quickly bowing his head. After safely storing the jade slip, he bit his tongue, mobilized the seven-colored Golden Elixir in his spiritual sea, and directed a strand of divine sense towards the two artifacts before him.

The true core within the seven-colored Golden Elixir, like a seven-colored flame, quickly imprinted Gu Feng's mind onto the two artifacts.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Gu Feng effortlessly refined the two artifacts.

At this moment, within Gu Feng's spiritual sea, the radiance of the seven-colored Golden Elixir blossomed endlessly, with the Innate Dao Embryo suspended above it.

The Bright Moon Shuttle slowly revolved around the seven-colored Golden Elixir, nurturing itself with the True Core emanating from the elixir, while the Blazing Sun Pearl quietly stayed beside the Innate Dao Embryo, extremely restrained.

Now that Gu Feng's seven-colored Golden Elixir had reached perfection, he was no longer the useless Qi Refining Realm third-tier sequence he once was. Accomplishing these tasks was naturally a piece of cake for him!

He intended to seize the momentum and thoroughly comprehend the Void Shattering Hand and the ancient sword formation gifted by Ye Tianchen. Suddenly, Jiu Long beside him let out a howl towards the sky, releasing a mass of black mist, and in no time transformed into the familiar appearance of a man in black.

The three of them exchanged no more words. Being in a remote and hard-to-find overseas location, it was safest to leave quickly.

Without further ado, Gu Liantian and Jiu Long took off in a flash of light. Gu Feng, using sword flight for the first time, felt a bit nervous as he mobilized his True Core to drive the Bright Moon Shuttle within his spiritual sea.

Feeling his body lighten, Gu Feng pointed towards the sky. Although the Bright Moon Shuttle did not leave his body, it emitted waves of silver light within his spiritual sea, which then burst through his body and shot straight into the clouds!

At this moment, Gu Feng truly understood what sword flight meant—traveling ten thousand miles in a day!

This was on a completely different level compared to the Sharing Flying Sword he developed!

If the Sharing Flying Sword was like a human-powered bicycle driven by external formations, then true sword flight was akin to a rocket propelled by nuclear fusion fuel!

There was a fundamental difference!

In the sky, the three of them flew side by side, with Gu Feng getting playful, recklessly charging and diving amidst the powerful winds, causing Gu Liantian and Jiu Long to roll their eyes.

Before long, the three entered the territory of the Eastern Region Divine Continent.

The three streaks of light did not linger and headed straight towards Heroic Spirit City!

Upon returning to Heroic Spirit City, Gu Liantian gave a few instructions, telling Gu Feng to focus on his cultivation during this time and avoid causing any more trouble. He had governmental affairs to attend to and needed to deal with the third and fifth elders in the Elders group with feigned civility, so he said no more and flew towards the City Lord's mansion.

Gu Feng bowed in acknowledgment, then returned to Qiong Feng Pavilion with Jiu Long. Everything at home was as usual, and the roof tiles Gu Feng had damaged were already repaired by people arranged by Manager Wu, as if nothing had happened.

"Young Master! This old servant was worried sick all night, it's good that you're alright!" Manager Wu was the first to bow down, tears streaming down his face.

After comforting Manager Wu, Gu Feng felt gratified. Having lived together for many years, their relationship was far more than just master and servant. He quickly reassured him, "No worries, I'm not that fragile. See, I'm as lively as ever now, aren't I?"

From a distance, Fang Feixue saw Gu Feng descending with a flash of light and timidly asked, "Are you alright?"

"Are you concerned about me?" Gu Feng had already changed into a clean white robe, his eyes full of teasing.

A blush appeared on her face, and Fang Feixue quickly put on a serious expression, feigning anger, "Who cares about you? You're just being self-indulgent! Huh, your cultivation level..."
