Chapter 613 - 290: Lending a Hand
Fa Zheng and the others parted on bad terms.
Lin Tianlin looked at Huang Li with a meaningful tone, "Girl, remember this—no matter what grievances there are between you and Jiang Feng, from now on, you’re not allowed to trouble Jiang Feng. I promised him I’d ensure his lifelong safety and never let anyone harm him."
"Yes, I understand."
Huang Li kept staring at Jiang Feng.
Though she was unwilling, with Lin Tianlin’s words in front of her, she could only swallow her anger, but she would never know—Lin Tianlin’s words weren’t saving Jiang Feng, they were saving her.
After leaving this message, she left.
"Disciple takes her leave."
Wu Jingming hurried to catch up. As he left, he glanced at Jiang Feng, an inscrutable smile on his face.
"Sect Leader, Elders, this disciple will also take his leave."
Jiang Feng cupped his hands to everyone present.
The crowd nodded in response.
Jiang Feng walked out of the Main Hall.
Lin Tianlin’s voice rang out from behind, "Pass down my command—henceforth, Jiang Feng is not just a First-Grade Talisman Master of Yagu Peak, but also a Direct Disciple of my Cyan Cloud Sect! He will enjoy the highest privileges—he may freely select from every Secret Technique Manual across all seven Academy floors!"
"We respectfully obey the Sect Leader’s order!"
The various Elders replied in unison.
Jiang Feng contributed two Innate Magical Treasures to the sect and received such treatment—no one thought it excessive, instead, they felt it justified.
If they knew that the Qinglong Cauldron and Dragon Bone Bow still belonged to Jiang Feng, who knows what they’d think. And if they found out Jiang Feng was a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master in Cyan Cloud Sect, how would they treat Jiang Feng then?
Jiang Feng left the Main Hall and returned to his cave residence on Yagu Peak.
The first thing he did was check his panel information.
Name: Jiang Feng
Fortune: 29,500,211
Cultivation Technique: Foundation Establishment Technique - Perfection (4-300) Longevity Skill - Minor Achievement (8-100) Middle Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual - Proficient (18-100) Upper Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual - (Beginner)

Cultivation Realm: Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment (Earth Dao Foundation Establishment)

Divine Power: Immortality
"Pa!"
Jiang Feng slapped his palm down heavily.
His expression was excited as he said, "It increased by over twenty million—in the end, the problem was with the Qinglong Cauldron and Dragon Bone Bow. The Blood Domain Divine Sect had their eyes on me long ago, only pretending to ignore me to get the Qinglong Cauldron and Dragon Bone Bow. If I hadn’t been able to use Fortune to divine fortune and misfortune, I’d almost have been fooled by them."
"Now, in their eyes, although I have no Innate Magical Treasures on me, it was also because of me that Cyan Cloud Sect’s strength increased. If an opportunity arises in the future, they’ll definitely try to scheme against me."
"I could hide within Cyan Cloud Sect and never go out, but I can’t always live in constant fear."
"Strength—only with great strength can I fear no one."
After thinking it through, Jiang Feng decided to raise his cultivation once more.
So he added twenty million Fortune Points onto the Longevity Skill.
The panel information changed.
Name: Jiang Feng
Fortune: 9,500,211
Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill - Great Success (108-200)
Cultivation Realm: Eleventh-Layer Foundation Establishment (Earth Dao Foundation Establishment)
"My cultivation rose by two layers!"
"That’s still not enough!"
"Go on, rise!"
Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and tossed all his Fortune Points into the Longevity Skill.
The panel information changed.
Name: Jiang Feng
Fortune: None
Cultivation Technique: Foundation Establishment Technique - Perfection (4-300) Longevity Skill - Perfection (3-300) Middle Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual - Proficient (18-100) Upper Part of the Divine Sect Treasure Manual - (Beginner)
Skills: Alchemy (Mastery) Rune Secret Spell Basics (Great Success) Qi Condensing Pill (Proficient)
Cultivation Realm: Twelfth-Layer Foundation Establishment (Earth Dao Foundation Establishment)
Martial Arts Realm: Second-Layer of the Wending Realm
Divine Power: Immortality
Jiang Feng closed his eyes and felt an unprecedented surge of spiritual power within him. With that, any threat from Huang Li—for all of Lin Tianlin’s help—was now resolved on its own.
What a pity.
This layer of danger had already vanished once he became a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master, with a Golden Core Powerhouse backing him. Jiang Feng could no longer gain Fortune Points from Huang Li.
This also proved that although Huang Li resented him, she no longer dared to scheme against him.
"If my cultivation breaks through the twelfth layer, it’ll be Golden Core. I must achieve Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment before that—otherwise, after forming the Golden Core, there won’t be any opportunity to solidify my Foundation Establishment Base."
"And my Martial Arts Realm strength—that’s my trump card. I absolutely can’t neglect it."
Jiang Feng reflected inwardly.
From the moment he learned that Foundation Establishment had four bases, he resolved to achieve Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment.
But both Earth Dao Foundation Establishment and Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment would trigger rare phenomena.
Earth Dao Foundation Establishment brought nine phoenix cries in the heavens.
Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment would be dragons soaring, phoenixes dancing, and all monsters kneeling in worship.
The Blood Domain hadn’t seen Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment in a thousand years. The last person to achieve it, as recorded in the Blood God Book, was a guy named Bian Yi.
This person became a Nascent Soul Powerhouse in less than three hundred years, a nightmare for countless sect experts. Later, no one knew what happened—he vanished over the Sea of Blood.
There were rumors that he and Sea Dragon fought for three years in the Sea of Blood, finally being killed jointly by the Great Demons within the Sea of Blood.
The truth is unknown.
Jiang Feng only knew that when achieving Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment, he absolutely must not let anyone know it’s him, or else the consequences would be unimaginable. Even hiding in Cyan Cloud Sect forever wouldn’t guarantee safety—there’d still be myriad dangers.
Therefore, he had to plot carefully, make sure nothing could go wrong. He not only needed to build his Celestial Dao Foundation, but also avoid all dangers. Otherwise, even with Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment, it would be meaningless if he couldn’t defend himself.
Jiang Feng stayed in his cave for over ten days.
Fa Zheng and his group were still in Cyan Cloud Sect. These days, Wu Qiyang often sought out the geniuses of Cyan Cloud Sect to spar with, showing off and leaving many injured at his hands.
