Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 883 - 335: Great Tang Dao Sect Leader (Part 4)

Earlier, he was not on good terms with the former Blood River Sect Leader Wei Ancheng, and there were often contests between the two sides.Although Wei Ancheng’s cultivation realm was higher, Xing Feng’s talent and strength surpassed his peers, making Wei Ancheng extremely hard to handle.

Later, when Li Tianqing left Gepo Mountain, he was taken in with the help of Xing Feng. These two outstanding young members of the Southern Wilderness Witchcraft Sect made Wei Ancheng even more distressed.

Four years ago, after Wei Ancheng perished in the Earth Sea, Xing Feng officially became the new Blood River Sect Leader.

Li Tianqing also stayed at the Blood River Sect.

The Blood River was a public enemy in the Great Tang and Southern Wilderness, hunted by all, constantly in hiding.

Taking in Li Tianqing, the Blood River sect didn’t take it to heart; it was like lice not biting any more.

However, Xing Feng’s usual style was different from Wei Ancheng and most Blood River cultivators in that the Blood River Sect had been lying low in recent years, unlike before, slightly showing signs of recuperation.

"Returned?"

Xing Feng opened his eyes, relaxed his body, and simply sat at the bottom of the Blood Sea, inviting Li Tianqing to sit.

Li Tianqing also did not shy away and sat directly in the Blood Sea, with not a drop of filthy blood touching him:

"Yes, it went smoothly overall, got quite a bit of news. How is your treasure refining going?"

Xing Feng: "Still far from done."

The destruction of the Sea of Blood Map was an enormous loss for the entire Blood River Sect.

One of Xing Feng’s concerns as the new Blood River Leader is reproducing the Sea of Blood Map or refining a replacement treasure.

But it is easier said than done.

If it were that simple, the Blood River Sect wouldn’t possess only one Sea of Blood Map over the years.

In the Witchcraft Sect’s five veins inheritance, the Blood River Lineage is not known for artifact refining.

Fortunately, Li Tianqing of the Divine Dance Lineage aided with the Ghost God Sacrificial Array, giving some leads now.

Yet, the task remains daunting.

"Later, we’ll study it together again," Li Tianqing proposed.

Xing Feng: "How is Luo Yuan’s portal up north at sea?"

Li Tianqing: "The Tang Imperial Court values it highly, sending at least three cultivators of the Ninth Heavenly Layer immediately to seal the Void Gateway from the Mortal World to Luo Yuan."

Xing Feng nodded: "That’s good, as the Great Demons in Luo Yuan are busy battling the Jiuli people in the Earth Sea, sealing early ends it early."

Li Tianqing: "Are the battles between the Bili, Poli, Guangli, and Fuli tribes and the Luo Yuan Great Demons still tangled?"

Xing Feng: "More intense."

In the Earth Sea, the Jiuli people are not entirely united.

Among them, the Bili, Poli, Guangli, and Fuli tribes hold the greatest strength, vaguely posturing as the Earth Sea’s overlords.

The Fuli, Bili tribes are pressured with almost no foothold.

But years ago, chance connected the Earth Sea with Luo Yuan.

In Luo Yuan, disasters are everywhere, fiercer than the Earth Sea.

Various Great Demons roam within.

The four Bili tribes erupt in fierce battles with Luo Yuan’s Great Demons.

Thus, the Fuli and Bili tribes got a breather.

The Earth Sea unexpectedly connected with the Mortal World, and the Fuli and Bili tribes sought more development space.

But during the Earth Sea wars earlier, Shen Qubing of the Tang side coincidentally interacted with the Wu Li tribe.

Despite many Wu Li tribe experts contending with demons in Luo Yuan alongside the Bili tribes, they sent a surprise force to hit the Fuli and Bili hard.

"The person who opened the gateway between the Mortal World and Luo Yuan is Chen Yi, right?" Xing Feng asked: "What happened to him?"

Li Tianqing: "Entered Luo Yuan, whereabouts unknown, he may perish to demons."

Xing Feng: "That depends on his ability and luck."

Li Tianqing: "Are you planning to go again?"

Xing Feng: "Not now, later I’ll focus on seclusion for a while."

Li Tianqing smiled at this: "Perhaps I’ll go ahead of you."

After laughing, he continued: "Outside, in the Mortal World, two major incidents occurred recently."

He disclosed the news of the Netherworld’s reappearance and the Intermediary Path Country’s destruction in detail.

Xing Feng showed surprise for the first time: "You said, who killed Huang Xuanpu?"

"The Celestial Master Mansion, Xuanxiao Zi Lei Jun."

Li Tianqing: "When I first heard, I had the same expression as you."

Xing Feng transitioned from surprise to reflection, shifting to a more comfortable posture: "Huang Xuanpu reached Five Qi Towards Primordial?"

Li Tianqing: "Indeed, already achieved Five Qi Towards Primordial, yet Xu Yuanzhen first shattered his Dawn Elemental Body and Fleshly Body Primordial Elixir, then Lei Chongyun fully destroyed his Nascent Soul Yang God."

Xing Feng rubbed his palm: "Impressive cultivation, excellent skill! Even if Huang Xuanpu was wounded, he still had Ninth Heavenly Layer roots; to be slain by an Eighth Heavenly Layer Celestial Master Mansion Taoist in direct combat indicates the Taoist’s cultivation strength exceeded expectations."

Xing Feng suddenly paused, then shook his head with a laugh:

"No, that’s not right; it might not truly be beyond expectations—didn’t he withstand the Jiuli experts and Wei Ancheng in the Earth Sea earlier?"

Li Tianqing: "Yes, though back then he had the Celestial Master’s Sword and Celestial Master Seal with him, serving as protector for Celestial Master Tang Xiaotang.

This time, without the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures, he elevated his realm to the Eighth Heavenly Layer Third Layer, using the External Scenery of the Divine Court of Daoist Talisman Sect and Dragon-Tiger Strike of Long Hu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion against Huang Xuanpu’s Nascent Soul Yang God."

Xing Feng: "Good skill, impressive, if we had no grievances, I’d want to see it myself."

Remembering something, he asked: "That Lei Jun has come to the Southern Wilderness before, have you met him in person?"

Li Tianqing: "Heard early on, but never met."

He recalled: "Initially, during the big fight at Sleeping Dragon Lake with Wei Ancheng and Zonghan, over twenty years ago; he came to the Southern Wilderness then, but it was when Lei Chongyun still had Middle Three Heavens cultivation, just traveling with his Master Yuan Mobai.
