This is a power that Xu Feng cannot contend with, very similar to the force behind the sword strike just delivered by Hua Qian Zhi.
Hua Guinian used Earth Immortal Essence to instantly unleash that astonishing sword.
Earth Immortal Essence is a type of water-like elixir refined from the essence blood of powerful cultivators, with each drop containing one-tenth of the attack power of its owner.
Depending on the realm of the essence blood owner, Earth Immortal Essence is categorized into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. Cultivators above the Divine Separation Stage possess immense strength and are elusive, referred to as Land Immortals. Earth Immortal Essence specifically refers to the super potent elixir refined from the essence blood of cultivators at the Divine Separation Stage, Integration Stage, and Transcendence Period.
Hua Guinian obtained a lower-grade Earth Immortal Essence from a Divine Separation Stage cultivator. Under an attack equivalent to one-tenth of a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator's strength, Xu Feng was struck away by a single sword. If it weren't for Ultraman, Supreme Quality Armor, and the buoyancy of seawater reducing the impact, Xu Feng could have been killed by that strike. Even after narrowly escaping death, Xu Feng had to consume two Seventh-Level Healing Pills at the bottom of the sea just to stabilize his injuries.
At this moment, after being lightly struck by this unknown figure who appeared out of nowhere, Xu Feng found himself completely unable to fight back. He couldn't even summon his Wings of the Strange Dragon and could only barely tread water to avoid sinking.
Wiping away some blood, he finally got a clear look at the figure before him. It was a tall White-Faced Monk dressed in black Daoist robes, with eyes like cold stars. Xu Feng couldn't discern his cultivation level but felt an unfathomable strength emanating from him. Even A Si, who was beside Shen Gongzi, paled in comparison to this person's presence.
Could this person be a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator?
The severely injured Hua Qian Zhi saw the Black-Clad Monk appear and hurriedly knelt down, saying, "Master, I have embarrassed you. Please punish me."
Hua Qian Zhi's master is Huo Jinxing!
Huo Jinxing is a true disciple of Zheguo's Sinking Sand Valley. Over two hundred years ago, Huo Jinxing traveled far and wide and encountered the newly born Hua Qian Zhi in Liuxiang Kingdom. Seeing his excellent talent, he brought him back to Zheguo as his disciple. Over the past two hundred years, Hua Qian Zhi has indeed lived up to expectations—intelligent and eager to learn—finally achieving Yuan Ying at the age of two hundred and one, becoming a rising star in Sinking Sand Valley.
Looking at Hua Qian Zhi's messy hairstyle, Huo Jinxing became furious and said, "Qian Zhi, now you understand that there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. In a barren place like Liuxiang Kingdom, there are only a handful of Yuan Ying Cultivators. Losing to those old monsters is somewhat understandable; I never expected you would be defeated by a Golden Core Disciple. This truly disappoints me."
Hua Qian Zhi felt deeply ashamed and stammered, "Disciple... disciple..." unable to finish his words.
Xu Feng stood awkwardly aside; having suffered two heavy blows in succession, he was now left vulnerable and at their mercy.
Huo Jinxing calmly said, "Kill him."
Hua Qian Zhi, upon hearing this, glanced at the severely injured Xu Feng but hesitated, unsure whether it was out of fear or reluctance.
Huo Jinxing snorted coldly and said, "You were defeated by him. If you don't kill this person, your cultivation will be stuck. Fine, I'll help you one more time. As for your mindset, you'll have to wait until we return and ask Senior Brother for guidance."
Without even looking at Xu Feng, Huo Jinxing soared into the sky with Hua Qian Zhi. With a gentle flick of his sleeve, a snow-white crescent-shaped light ring shot out, aimed directly at Xu Feng's head, intending to obliterate him in one strike.
Xu Feng had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the light ring flew toward him, his heart sinking.
The light ring approached rapidly and in an instant reached Xu Feng's forehead, a chilling sensation seeping into his skin. Just as the light ring was about to explode his head, it suddenly stopped and inexplicably vanished.
Immediately after, a giant hand three meters tall appeared in the sky. With a gentle wave, it sent Huo Jinxing and Hua Qian Zhi flying over ten miles away, leaving no trace behind.
After a full minute, Huo Jinxing emerged from the sea, holding the unconscious Hua Qian Zhi in his grasp.
Huo Jinxing flew out above the surface of the water but did not go far. His face was filled with terror as he knelt in mid-air and pleaded, "Lord of Fragrance, I was wrong. I shouldn't have interfered in the matters of Liuxiang Kingdom. It wasn't easy for me to reach the Divine Separation Stage. Please give me another chance, Lord of Fragrance. I will remember this deeply and will never set foot in Liuxiang Kingdom again." He bowed three times.
"Get lost!" came a brief and impatient voice from the sky.
"Thank you, Lord of Fragrance! Thank you, Lord of Fragrance!" Huo Jinxing exclaimed joyfully as he scrambled away with Hua Qian Zhi.
Xu Feng stared blankly at the empty sea surface in shock. That giant hand had appeared and vanished in an instant, effortlessly forcing Huo Jinxing—at the Divine Separation Stage—to kneel and beg for mercy.
Lord of Fragrance!
"Thank you, Lord of Fragrance, for saving me," Xu Feng bowed toward the place where the giant hand had appeared. The sea surface returned to calmness as if nothing had happened; occasionally a few fish leaped from the water, creating ripples.
After waiting for ten minutes, Lord of Fragrance still did not appear. Xu Feng took a seventh-level Healing Pill and sat quietly on the water's surface. A person of Lord of Fragrance's caliber is not easily encountered; his intervention might not be solely to save me but rather to maintain the order of the Liuxiang Kingdom.
Xu Feng had interacted with Xiang Ge and Huo Jinxing, and he vaguely understood that the strength of the Liuxiang Kingdom was actually quite weak. If a master at the Divine Separation Stage were to cause trouble, no one in the Liuxiang Kingdom could contend with them. Yet, the Liuxiang Kingdom remained intact, and the few old monsters from the Six Major Sects and “he” from A Qi must refer to Lord of Fragrance.
While Xu Feng was concentrating on healing, two figures—a man and a woman—appeared high in the sky, enveloped by clouds. Without extraordinary strength, it was impossible to see them.
The man was a Middle-Aged Cultivator, dressed oddly in a green robe tied at the waist with a green vine, his left arm bare while only his right sleeve remained.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, slender and delicate, as if she had been blown into this lofty height by the wind.
“Uncle Feng, is this your Xu Feng?”
“Yes, elder sister. He went from Refining Qi to Golden Core in just twelve years; remarkably, he reached the Late Stage of Golden Core in less than half a year.”
“The speed of his Five Elements Cultivation is indeed extraordinary.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, within a hundred years, he will surely advance to Yuan Ying.”
“A hundred years,” the beautiful woman sighed softly. “This will be the third Five Elements Cultivation practitioner; I hope he can endure the trials and advance to Yuan Ying, unlike the previous two who failed at the last moment. Father's time is running out.”
The strangely dressed cultivator reassured her, “Elder sister, don’t worry. The Immortal Lord has unparalleled talent; it won't be so easy for him to fall. I have been watching this Xu Feng for over ten years; he should not disappoint you.”
“I hope so.” The two disappeared into the white clouds.
After some time adjusting on the sea, Xu Feng gradually stabilized his injuries but was too weak to fight again. He was unaware of how the war between the Five Faction Alliance and Wuhua Island was going; given his serious injuries, it was unwise to get involved again. Who lived or died would depend on their own fortunes.
Only a few people present knew about this overseas Great War involving Xu Feng and Hua Qian Zhi. Other cultivators did not dare to follow. With great effort, Xu Feng released his Wings of the Strange Dragon, flying to the nearest deserted island.
After three days, Xu Feng's injuries had mostly healed. When a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator strikes, even a casual blow is enough to take half of Xu Feng's life. His recovery during those three days was largely due to the effects of the Seventh-Level Healing Pill.
Flying to Wuhua Island, it was already nighttime. The waters around Wuhua Island were calm, and the chaos from the Great War had been cleaned up, leaving only severed stumps and split boulders as remnants of the battle.
There were still a few patrolling disciples on the island. From appearances, this Great War had not dealt a fatal blow to Wuhua Island. Given the strength of the Five Faction Alliance, they would have to suffer significant losses themselves to flatten Wuhua Island.
It seemed both sides had reached some agreement to avoid mutual destruction.
Xu Feng circled around under the night sky before turning towards Bailu Mountain.
By dawn, Xu Feng arrived at Bailu Mountain. The place had changed completely; all the dilapidated buildings had been torn down and rebuilt, and the ground and objects were tidied up neatly. Groups of scattered cultivators gathered at the foot of the mountain, ranging from those in the first and second layers of Refining Qi to those in the mid to late stages of Foundation Establishment, though it was unclear what they were doing. Noticing their lack of hostility, Xu Feng paid them no mind.
Three newly recruited Refining Qi disciples patrolled along a designated route. In the training ground, Gao Jingsong was instructing disciples on practicing Combat Techniques.
"Group Leader, look! It's Group Leader back!"
As Xu Feng flew into the training ground, several disciples rushed over, repeatedly calling out "Group Leader" with proud smiles on their faces.
Hearing the commotion, Gao Jingsong and Lin Fangxin hurried over. The other practicing disciples also paused their training.
"Hello everyone," Xu Feng greeted them with an air of leadership.
"Hello, Group Leader! Hello, Group Leader!" they echoed Xu Feng's words.
Xu Feng looked at the approaching disciples and said, "No need to come see me; there's nothing special about me. Hurry up and practice so we don't embarrass our Koukou Group when we go out."
Gao Jingsong chuckled, "Don't worry, Group Leader. Even if one of our cooking disciples goes out now, no one would dare challenge him."
Xu Feng was surprised and asked, "Why?"
Lin Fangxin took over the conversation and said, "The Group Leader defeated Hua Qian Zhi in the battle at Wuhua Island, shaking the Liuxiang Kingdom. I don't know who spread the news, but the Group Leader has established the Koukou Group and founded a sect at Bailu Mountain. Our Koukou Group's disciples have become the most sought-after, with hundreds of people wanting to join. It's impossible to hide the fact that so many people have moved from Mist City to Bailu Mountain from those who are paying attention."
Xu Feng realized why there were so many low-level loose cultivators at the foot of the mountain; they were all trying to join Koukou Group.
Gao Jingsong said, "Group Leader, it's great that you are back. Three days ago, during the Great War against Hua Qian Zhi, both factions were at a standoff, and no one dared to watch. After the ceasefire, we couldn't find you anywhere. It was rumored that both you and Hua Qian Zhi were seriously injured and went off to heal in different places. Yi Jiuzhou was worried and went overseas alone to look for you yesterday."
"Mm." Xu Feng nodded and said, "Jingsong, arrange for someone to contact Spirit Beast Manor and have them send two White Eagles over. Tell two disciples to ride the White Eagles to bring Yi Jiuzhou back." The Wan Jian Sect originally had Golden Eagles, but they were all killed in the battle at Nine Dragon Pool.
Gao Jingsong assigned two disciples to contact Spirit Beast Manor for the White Eagles and then flew overseas directly to search for Yi Jiuzhou.
Gao Jingsong instructed the other disciples to continue their training while he and Lin Fangxin followed Xu Feng into the inner hall.
