Chapter 602: Contempt! Meeting Acquaintances!
Usually,
the Hundred Flower Sect was always covered by a powerful restrictive Formation, and only the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master among others could freely leave the Hundred Flower Sect.
To cultivate in such a sealed manner was a tradition of the Hundred Flower Sect.
Just now, Shen Feng broke the Formation and quickly restored it; although he was quick, Gao Huiying still sensed it.
Shen Feng had not intended to keep it completely hidden, for he knew that breaking the Formation would inevitably cause a disturbance.
However, he had tampered with something in the room, so Gao Huiying and the others probably wouldn't suspect that it was he who had broken the Hundred Flower Sect's Formation.
It should be known that the Formation had cost the Hundred Flower Sect a great price to set up, as they had to invite several Grandmasters of Formations to arrange it jointly.
Because of the arrangement of the Formation, the Sect had seen a shortage of all sorts of cultivation resources for over a hundred years, which shows how big a price the Hundred Flower Sect paid.
This Formation was not something that just anyone could break. Gao Huiying distinctly felt the Formation being breached, then immediately restored by someone. A person with such skills was definitely a formidable expert with extremely profound knowledge in Formations, which was why she respectfully used the term "Senior" to address him.
Seeing that no one responded after a while, Gao Huiying slowly furrowed her eyebrows, unable to sense the presence of other powerful beings in the world, she said, "Zhuyu, immediately conduct a thorough search of the entire Hundred Flower Sect."
Jiang Zhuyu nodded in agreement, then quickly ordered various Elders to mobilize along with their Disciples.
All members of the Hundred Flower Sect joined the search, and soon, the final results came forward.
After listening to the reports from various Great Elders, Jiang Zhuyu shook her head at Gao Huiying, indicating there was no issue within the Hundred Flower Sect.
One of the Elders suddenly spoke up, "By the way, Sect Master, I did not dare to search Senior Shen's courtyard."
At these words,
Jiang Zhuyu looked towards Gao Huiying.
The breach and restoration of the Formation that enveloped the entire Hundred Flower Sect was undoubtedly a slap in the face for them.
Gao Huiying pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go and see."
Under her leadership, Jiang Zhuyu, Hu Fangmei, Xue Wanyue, among others, all made their way towards Shen Feng's courtyard.
On arriving in the courtyard, they quickly saw the characters "Do Not Disturb" written on the door of the room. At the same time, Gao Huiying and the others sensed Shen Feng's presence inside the room, and only his presence.
Hu Fangmei said in a low voice, "It seems the Senior is cultivating. There is no need for us to disturb the Senior for such matters."
Ever since learning that Shen Feng was a Fourth Grade Spirit Chef, her respect for him was exceptional.
Gao Huiying gave a slight nod and said, "It seems that the Grandmaster in Formations with such profound ability must have left the Hundred Flower Sect. Could the earlier incident have been just a prank by that Senior?"
She then sighed and said, "Everybody disperse."
"Someone capable of instantly breaking and restoring this Formation must have formidable cultivation; surely not someone our Hundred Flower Sect can afford to provoke."
"Even if he truly wanted to enter our Sect, we wouldn't have the power to stop him. Since that Senior doesn't wish to reveal himself, I think he must have left."
Jiang Zhuyu and Hu Fangmei among others all quite agreed. They had not suspected Shen Feng to be the one who broke the Formation, believing him to be cultivating in his room!
...
Meanwhile,
in the night sky some distance away from the Hundred Flower Sect, a figure was rapidly Soaring Through the Sky.
About an hour into soaring through the sky,
Shen Feng's figure suddenly halted in the night sky. During the process of soaring, his perceptive force had been constantly extended outward.
He suddenly perceived two familiar auras, which was why he momentarily paused and his figure rapidly descended toward the ground.
Once his feet were firmly on the ground, he saw that not far ahead was a dense forest, and those two somewhat familiar auras were coming from within the woods.
Shen Feng had not expected to encounter two somewhat familiar auras halfway after leaving the Hundred Flower Sect, and he walked towards the dense forest.
After approaching a certain distance, a bonfire could be seen flickering within the trees.
An old woman in a gray robe and a rather good-looking woman were sitting in front of the bonfire, chatting about something.
After getting a clear view of their faces, Shen Feng finally understood why the auras felt familiar, weren't they the Supreme Elder Li Qiufeng and Sect Master Wang Qianlan from the Green Jade Gate on Earth?
Upon recognizing the two, Shen Feng was slightly taken aback. It was after they had left that Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan had chosen to embark on the stone path.
Realizing that Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan's cultivation levels were now at the middle stage and the initial stage of Nascent Variation, respectively,
how was this possible? If they had just arrived in the Lower Realm, their cultivation couldn't have increased this much.
Shen Feng had to find out what had happened to them on the stone path, so he continued walking towards Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan.
As he kept getting closer,
Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan saw Shen Feng as well, but their stupefaction lasted a bit longer.
Only when Shen Feng came up in front of them did they gradually come back to their senses, showing no intention of standing up to greet him; instead, their eyes held a hint of disdain.
They had walked the stone path for a year and a half before arriving in the Lower Realm, where they had been cultivating for a full five hundred years.
After arriving in the Immortal Realm,
Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan truly grasped the vastness of the cultivation world, and as they learned of the many levels beyond Foundation Establishment, they increasingly found the Shen Feng they knew on Earth to be unimpressive. As their own cultivation levels gradually rose, they sometimes really wanted to meet again the man who once stood above all on Earth and eventually became its ruler.
A gentle breeze passed by.
The bonfire flickered unceasingly.
Now, as Nascent Variation Stage powerhouses, Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan had already undergone earth-shattering changes. Noticing that Shen Feng's aura was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, they shook their heads in disdain.
Shen Feng naturally saw their expressions and wanted to avoid dwelling on the matter, asking, "How many years have you been in the Lower Realm?"
Faced with Shen Feng's straightforward question,
Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan frowned slightly; a tinge of annoyance flashed through their hearts. In their view, now that Shen Feng had seen them, he should be showing more respect! However, remembering that Shen Feng had saved their lives twice and that they were able to come to the Immortal Realm thanks to him, Wang Qianlan answered, "We have been in the Immortal Realm for five hundred years."
Upon hearing this,
Shen Feng showed an expression of realization; It was not surprising that Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan had raised their cultivation to the Nascent Variation Stage in five hundred years.
But why had Li Qiufeng and Wang Qianlan emerged from the stone path so much earlier than him?
Were the Undead Monster Scorpion, Void Mysterious Turtle, Gu Hengyuan, and others also already out of the stone path, or were they still inside?
With these doubts in mind, he asked again, "What did you encounter on your respective stone paths?"
What do you think?
