A Qi, that bastard, turned a good deed into something worthless.
A Qi left, leaving behind a dozen Transformation Period beasts to guard the cave.
The entrance was sealed by a formation, preventing Spiritual Energy from escaping. Xu Feng sat down and began to gulp down the spiritual spring.
He Xunji's strike nearly cost Xu Feng his life. After fleeing back, Xu Feng was further injured.
Ten days later, relying on a large amount of Spiritual Energy and pills, along with the help of his Five Elements Body, Xu Feng managed to heal the injuries caused by the Golden Rod and restored his strength.
He Xunji was the first opponent to force Xu Feng to use all his skills and return empty-handed. To defeat He Xunji, he would need to reach at least the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement for any chance of success.
Xu Feng had always been able to defeat enemies above his level, but now faced with the freak that is He Xunji, he found himself unable to handle him. It seemed this world was not just about Xu Feng; there were always greater mountains and more capable people beyond. The saying had been passed down for so long because it was true.
Calming himself, Xu Feng began to focus on his cultivation, determined to advance to the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement in one go; otherwise, there would be no need to leave seclusion.
A Qi's spiritual spring was created by the Lord of Fragrance opening a hole in the Spiritual Vein, drawing in Spiritual Energy that was denser than that found on Snake Island. However, it was nearing depletion now.
Xu Feng activated his Control Technique, absorbing vast amounts of Spiritual Energy into his body, transforming it into the essence of power.
This time he was cultivating the Earth Element Cultivation Method. After refining Power King and Walker, both his Earth Element and Wood Element reached the peak of Early Stage of Great Achievement, on the verge of breaking through.
Having created the Control Technique on Snake Island, Xu Feng reached full mastery of the Wood Element at Early Stage of Great Achievement in just fifty years. The Control Technique combined the wisdom and bravery of Wuwei Xianzun with the ingenious ideas of Jin Liaoyuan, while also demanding extraordinary talent for cultivation. His progress was unprecedented.
Xu Feng's cultivation soared rapidly, with breakthroughs possible at any moment.
In the blink of an eye, thirty years passed. Xu Feng successfully pushed his Earth Element to Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, taking his first step into that realm.
Twenty years later, Xu Feng broke through in Wood Element as well.
From then on, every twenty years he achieved a breakthrough until his Wood Element also advanced to Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. A total of one hundred ten years had passed by then.
In the one hundred and twentieth year, the spiritual spring of the Water Curtain Cave completely dried up, becoming a deserted cave.
Xu Feng did not break out of the cave but continued to stay inside to cultivate. After another fifteen years, he fully mastered Walker's Wind Catching Steps before leaving the Water Curtain Cave and returning to the Red Flower Forest.
Wind Catching Steps was Walker's signature move, a hidden skill. After successfully cultivating Wind Catching Steps, Xu Feng's speed, enhanced by the Arrow Meridian, surpassed that of Gambling King He Xunji. Moreover, when using the Wings of the Strange Dragon, Xu Feng had yet to encounter anyone who could catch up to him. Even if the Three Statues from Wuwei Academy intervened, they would still be far behind.
With the Wood Element advancing to Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, Xu Feng's Yuan Ying had grown tall enough to reach his chest. The power of his Five Elements Yuan Ying alone could kill those at the Divine Separation Stage, and Xu Feng was now over six hundred years old.
The Butcher's Blade and Golden Law Bow performed exceptionally well at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. The Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation primarily depended on Soul Power; it had only slightly improved, increasing from one hundred twenty Flying Swords to one hundred fifty.
Forty Flying Swords were already capable of killing Power Kings, and with one hundred fifty Flying Swords, there was no doubt that he had no rivals below the Transcendence Period.
A Royal Beast came out to greet Xu Feng; it was the crow that had once been by A Qi's side. This creature had gained many benefits from following A Qi and had even advanced to become a Royal Beast.
The crow said, "Deputy Cave Master, the king defeated the Bull Demon King fifty years ago and has now moved to Black Rock Cave. The Red Flower Forest is under my management now."
Impressive! After a hundred years apart, A Qi had expanded his territory and defeated the Bull Demon King. Was his next target going to be Sun Wukong?
"Crow, go tell the Cave Master that I have matters to attend to and will leave first. I will visit him again when I have the chance," Xu Feng thought about Wuwei Academy's sinister intentions and added, "By the way, how is Lin Fangxin?"
The crow replied, "Lin Fangxin advanced to Great Perfection Stage twenty years ago and has already returned to Liuxiang Kingdom."
Xu Feng was overjoyed. With Lin Fangxin advancing to Great Perfection Stage, Koukou Group's strength had further increased. In Zheguo, they were already among the top ten in Xian Dao strength. Together with himself, their power was quite formidable.
After bidding farewell to the crow, he flew out of Beast Wasteland directly towards Bailu Mountain.
This time, Xu Feng did not change his form but appeared in his true appearance. His unique Wings of the Strange Dragon unfurled in the skies above Liuxiang Kingdom, dazzling under the sunlight.
Two Divine Separation Stage cultivators watched as Xu Feng flew past and whispered, "It's Xu Feng! You quickly go back and inform Gambling King that I'm here following him."
Xu Feng's strength had greatly increased, and he easily overheard their conversation. He coldly smiled and let them be.
With his current power, it was better if the Gambling King did not come; if he did, there would be no return.
Xu Feng lightly flapped his wings and flew to Bailu Mountain, immediately causing a wave of cheers. The many experts from Koukou Group lined up in the square to welcome him.
"Group Leader!"
"Group Leader!"
After the battle at Jumping Fish Island, Xu Feng had been driven into the Abandoned Sea and had not emerged for three hundred years. After finally coming out, he was severely injured by the Gambling King and fled to Beast Wasteland to enter seclusion, remaining there for over a hundred years. In these four hundred years, Koukou Group had been heavily suppressed by Wuwei Academy, unable to establish a presence in Zheguo or recruit new disciples. Their business was bleak, relying solely on the spirit stones left by Xu Feng to survive.
Fortunately, during these few hundred years, the core members of Koukou Group had significantly improved their strength. Not only did Yi Jiuzhou and Lin Fangxin both advance to the Great Perfection Stage, but there were also four talented disciples under them who had reached the Great Perfection Stage. Along with Han Lei and the others, Koukou Group now boasted nine experts at the Great Perfection Stage.
The only regret was Gao Jingsong. As Vice Leader, he had worked tirelessly and had not had much time to cultivate; he still remained at the Divine Separation Stage.
The square gathered most of Koukou Group's disciples, all of whom were present except those in seclusion.
Unfortunately, Yi Jiuzhou was still in seclusion. This guy had come out once forty years ago when his strength had already reached the peak of Early Stage of Great Achievement. This time in seclusion, he was likely to advance to Mid-Stage of Great Achievement.
Yi Jiuzhou was Koukou Group's super powerhouse, the strongest among them, spending the most time in seclusion and ignoring everything else except cultivation.
Among the six or seven hundred people present, half were at least at the Golden Core stage. This group was undoubtedly a giant in Liuxiang Kingdom and stood out as a bright new star in Zheguo.
Xu Feng looked at how his three-person foundation had developed into this scale and felt great comfort in his heart. He wanted to shout some slogans to everyone but couldn't find suitable words for a moment, so he simply said, "Brothers, I have returned!"
I have returned! I have returned!
Such a simple phrase required immense courage and strength to say it aloud.
A hundred years ago, Xu Feng returned secretly, not daring to reveal his true identity. Now, he finally boldly proclaimed four words that resonated for miles and stirred the mountains and rivers.
"I have returned!"
Everyone could hear the significance behind these four words. In the face of the relentless pursuit by Wuwei Academy, Xu Feng would not have dared to make such a declaration without corresponding strength.
Xu Feng waved his hand and walked into the inner courtyard of Bailu Mountain under the intense gaze of the crowd.
That night, instead of going to the secret chamber in the back mountain, Xu Feng summoned experts from Koukou Group for an impromptu meeting.
The nine attendees included Gao Jingsong, Lin Fangxin, Han Lei, Lu Zhongxiang, Zeng An, and four newly promoted Great Achievement disciples.
After Xu Feng killed Power King, Han Lei and his companions publicly revealed their identities and took residence at Bailu Mountain.
Lin Fangxin returned twenty years ago and brought back a Wood Element Dao Artifact from Walker, becoming the second cultivator from Liuxiang Kingdom to possess a Dao Artifact after Xu Feng. However, this was a Black Market Good, and he dared not take it out unless absolutely necessary.
Xu Feng gave Gao Jingsong Power King's ring, which contained an Earth Element Thunder Hammer, perfectly suited for Formation Master Han Lei. Gao Jingsong immediately passed it on to Han Lei.
Thus, Han Lei obtained his second Dao Artifact.
Xu Feng did not give it directly to Han Lei but had Gao Jingsong pass it on to establish Gao Jingsong's position as Vice Leader.
The other four Great Achievement Stage Cultivators also received high-quality Supreme Treasures.
Xu Feng still had a black-and-white Yuan Ying, which was also Water Element like Gao Jingsong's. If Gao Jingsong refined the black-and-white Yuan Ying, he would likely advance to Great Perfection Stage. However, this method of refining Yuan Ying was considered unethical. Given Xu Feng's past with the black-and-white Yuan Ying, it was difficult for him to let Gao Jingsong handle it. As someone from The Right Path, Gao Jingsong would probably find it unacceptable as well.
During the meeting, Xu Feng detailed the situation at Wuwei Academy using information left by Power King, revealing many secrets unknown to outsiders.
After listening to Xu Feng's account, everyone gained a deeper understanding of Wuwei Academy.
“Group Leader, after the Gambling King destroyed a mortal village, he has pushed Wuwei Academy to the brink of collapse. Now, Wuwei Academy is gradually losing the trust of the Daoist practitioners, and there are signs of internal division. In my opinion, Wuwei Academy is facing both internal and external troubles and has no energy to manage us anymore.”
“Right, now Shennong Valley, Li Hua Palace, and Peace Blade Sect have all turned against Wuwei Academy. The only ones still aligned with Wuwei Academy are Azure Cloud Pavilion from Yue Ren Mountain Villa, but their strength has greatly diminished.”
Xu Feng said, “I killed Power King and Walker; Blade King also died because of me. Wuwei Academy will definitely not let me go. They just can't spare the time and energy right now, but sooner or later they will come to kill me. Therefore, I cannot stay at Bailu Mountain for long. It will be easier to act when the time comes. Before Wuwei Academy falls, everyone should avoid Zheguo and focus on defense and recuperation.”
Lin Fangxin suggested, “Group Leader, why not let A Qi…”
“No!” Xu Feng decisively extinguished Lin Fangxin's idea. There is a clear distinction between humans and demons. If A Qi comes to help, Koukou Group will inevitably be drawn into opposition against Xian Dao.
Everyone expressed their opinions and orderly organized various affairs of Koukou Group. The night quickly passed.
The next morning, a disciple patrolling the mountain hurriedly reported, “Group Leader, someone from Zheguo has suddenly arrived and wants to see you.”
Xu Feng pondered thoughtfully; they came so quickly. He asked, “Who is it?”
“He Xunji from Gambling King.”
