[Ding, host disciple Cao Youqian has achieved minor success in the Chaos Body Refining Technique, rewarding the host with the completion of the Wonton Body Refining Technique.] [Ding, host disciple Cao Youqian has achieved minor success in the Overlord Divine Body. Since the host’s divine body is already fully developed, reward the host with +10 to the Dao Essence.] Upon hearing the system’s prompt, Chu Feng’s face showed a hint of joy as he murmured, “I didn’t expect that brat Da Qian to achieve minor success with the Overlord Divine Body so quickly. I thought he would need more time to cultivate. It seems that this time, when he suppressed the Child of Fate, he gained a considerable opportunity. But then again, since Da Qian has grown stronger, it’s only a matter of time before Chen’er grows stronger as well.” Thinking of this, Chu Feng’s mood brightened greatly. Tonight, he must drink a few more cups to celebrate. Inside Thunder Accumulation Valley, After a month of seclusion, Song Zhaoyi broke through to the Heaven Origin Realm and continued training alongside Cao Youqian within the valley. “Brother Qian, after leaving Thunder Accumulation Valley, where do you plan to go?” Cao Youqian’s face showed thoughtful expression. “I plan to visit various dangerous places to temper my body. Only then can I become stronger.” Upon hearing this, Song Zhaoyi’s eyes shifted slightly as she asked, “Brother Qian, have you heard of Gangfeng Gorge?” Cao Youqian pondered in his mind and then murmured, “Gangfeng Gorge... you mean the one outside the Yellow Springs Abyss?” Song Zhaoyi nodded slightly. “Yes, that’s the place. Before reaching Heaven Origin, I couldn’t go to Gangfeng Gorge. The fierce winds blowing from the Yellow Springs Abyss can harm the divine soul. Cultivators below Heaven Origin who enter Gangfeng Gorge face death without survival.” After listening, Cao Youqian said, “That’s indeed a good place to cultivate. Let’s take a detour and head to Gangfeng Gorge. Hopefully, I can break through to the Spirit Nurturing Realm there. Next time I meet Senior Brother, I want to be able to fight him.” Tilting her head, Song Zhaoyi asked, “Brother Qian, why do you always want to fight Senior Brother? Do you have a bad relationship?” Cao Youqian’s fair face flushed slightly with embarrassment. He coughed twice feigning innocence. “Cough... cough... Of course, Senior Brother and I have the best relationship. But since he’s the strongest of the younger generation, no one else is qualified for me to challenge.” Seeing Cao Youqian’s gaze grow firm, Song Zhaoyi clenched her pink fists. “Brother Qian, you definitely can do it. You are the strongest in my heart.” Cao Youqian smiled slightly without much explanation, his resolve to grow stronger becoming even firmer. ... Thousands of miles away, at the port of Qingjiao Island in the East Sea, A young cultivator with an expressionless face and sharp eyes sneezed twice in a row. “Achoo! Achoo!” “Senior Brother, are you alright?” Liu Yuer saw Xiao Chen sneezing and couldn’t help but ask with concern. Xiao Chen shook his head. “I’m fine. It’s probably that Da Qian fellow wanting to beat me up again.” ??? Confusion filled Liu Yuer’s eyes. “Senior Brother, why do you have such ill will toward Junior Brother Qian? You think about beating him every day?” Xiao Chen smiled. “There are very few peers in this world who can withstand a few of my sword strikes. I can’t keep going to Master to look for suffering every day, can I?” Liu Yuer couldn’t help but chuckle. “Senior Brother and Junior Brother Qian really have a good relationship.” Xiao Chen didn’t explain but walked toward a ship at the dock, the treasured ship bound for Penglai Island. Liu Yuer put away her smile and followed closely. After paying the fare, they entered a private room on the ship’s third floor. As passengers boarded one after another, an elderly voice came from the ship. “Honored guests, the next stop is Penglai Island. Along the way, we will pass through a stormy sea area. Please do not leave your rooms lightly. If you need anything, ring the bell inside your room. If anyone leaves their room or cabin without permission and anything happens, the Chasing Wind will not be responsible.” After the old man finished speaking, a loud voice rang out. “Weigh anchor, set sail!” Soon, the treasured ship left the dock, heading deep into the East Sea. Once inside the cabin, Xiao Chen and Liu Yuer sat cross-legged and began cultivating. Seven days later, a tremendous commotion woke them up. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and walked toward the window of the room. Outside, dark clouds covered the sky and towering waves surged. Even though the Chasing Wind had defensive formations protecting it, it was like a fallen leaf drifting helplessly on the vast sea, swaying with the giant waves. “Senior Brother, look! A water tornado is coming this way!” Liu Yuer’s voice suddenly rang in Xiao Chen’s ear. He instinctively scanned around and saw a water tornado sweeping toward the treasured ship from the southeast direction. Xiao Chen could clearly sense that the ship was uncontrollably drifting southeast. Soon, the ship erupted in noise. Liu Yuer looked at the hundreds-of-zhang-high water tornado and turned pale with fright. Just as everyone was worried, a figure leapt high from the ship, slashing his blade at the water tornado. “Sea Overturn!” Clang! The blade struck down, instantly splitting the water tornado in two, crashing into the sea with a roar. The figure calmly landed back on the treasured ship as if nothing had happened. Seeing the slash, Xiao Chen murmured, “Nirvana cultivator.” Liu Yuer said, “I didn’t expect there to be a Nirvana cultivator stationed on just a single ship. Looks like the power behind the Chasing Wind isn’t small.” Xiao Chen smiled and said, “To do business here on the East Sea, it can’t be some ordinary people. According to the old fisherman, passing through this sea leads to Penglai Island. Let’s continue our cultivation for a few more days.” “Mm.” Liu Yuer nodded, and the two resumed cultivating. The appearance of the water tornado was just a small incident for the Chasing Wind. Three days later, the Chasing Wind’s speed noticeably slowed. At noon, the old voice sounded again. “Fellow Daoists, Penglai Island has been reached. The next return of the Chasing Wind will be in half a year. Those needing to board the ship, do not forget the time.” As soon as he finished speaking, the ship’s defensive formations were deactivated, and the huge iron anchor dropped into the sea. Within moments, the Chasing Wind came to a halt beside the port. Xiao Chen and Liu Yuer disembarked together. They didn’t bother with elaborate disguises, only concealing their aura, blending among the crowd just like other Heaven Origin cultivators. Just outside the port, a shifty-looking Dao Foundation cultivator approached them with a smiling face. “Honored guests, I suppose you’ve come to participate in the Penglai Sword Discussion?” Xiao Chen replied calmly, “So what if we have? So what if we don’t?” “...” The cultivator was momentarily stunned, then said, “My name is Huang San. I’m a local helper here on Penglai Island and know everything about this place. For ten low-grade spirit stones a day, I can arrange whatever you want—where to stay, what you want to know—all can be done.” Xiao Chen casually took out ten spirit stones from his storage ring and tossed them over. “First, take us to find a place to stay, and also introduce us to the Sword Discussion.” ==================================================================================== Get access to 20 chapters in advance and enjoy 2 daily updates by supporting the series.
