Chapter 142: Arrival in the Central Territory-Dumped While Cultivating Immortality in Old Age—Now That I’m Dead, System, You Finally Show Up?(With a single stroke, the landscape is brought to life.)

Want to enter the Mahayana realm?

That is simple. For Chu Feng, there were plenty of ways to go about it.

To say nothing else, his own Fortune Mall contained over a dozen types of medicinal pills that could assist others in stepping into the Mahayana Celestial realm. However, these pills were exorbitant, costing several hundred million fortune points each. It simply wasn't worth it.

"I've got it."

Quite unexpectedly, Chu Feng actually discovered a small method. For one million fortune points, he could acquire this technique. It was a secret art. Naturally, the greatest utility of this secret art was merely to increase the probability of successfully breaking into the Mahayana realm.

Chu Feng immediately exchanged for it and imparted it to Zhang Taiyin.

Upon receiving this secret art, Zhang Taiyin was overjoyed. He was so happy he nearly jumped for joy, prostrating himself before Chu Feng.

"Disciple Zhang Taiyin, thank you, Master."

Chu Feng waved his hand, signaling Zhang Taiyin to stand up. "Rise. There is no need to thank me. It is just a secret art; it can only increase your chances of entering the Mahayana realm. Besides, you provided me with that Immortal Blood Coral, which is of great use to me. Let us consider this a fair trade."

"However, I still need you to prepare a large quantity of Blood Jade Coral for me. The more, the better. Do you think you can manage that?"

"I can," Zhang Taiyin quickly replied. "This disciple will go and prepare it immediately."

Chu Feng nodded. "I only have five days. Whatever you can prepare, I will take."

"Yes."

With Zhang Taiyin's help, everything proceeded smoothly. Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Feng had obtained over ten thousand pieces of Blood Jade Coral. Among them was one piece of Immortal Blood Coral, over thirty pieces of top-grade Blood Jade Coral, over a thousand pieces of high-grade, five thousand pieces of mid-grade, and the rest were all low-grade. Each piece was brimming with potent life force and vitality.

Returning to the ship, Chu Feng immediately entered a state of cultivation. With the Blood Jade Coral in his possession, he also attempted to teach the first level of the Nine-Turn Profound Art to the women.

Time flowed slowly. Another three months passed in a flash. In order to focus on practicing the Nine-Turn Profound Art, Chu Feng and his companions did not disembark even as they passed by three small islands. They were entirely devoted to their cultivation.

He naturally consumed the Blood Jade Coral. When he brought the second level of the art to perfection, it underwent a transformation similar to the first level; the attribute that should have granted infinite strength instead evolved into the power to "create heaven and earth."

This single evolved divine ability alone increased Chu Feng's combat prowess countless times over. Unfortunately, the third level required one billion fortune points to purchase, and he currently only had two or three hundred million. He couldn't afford it; it was simply out of reach.

The more he practiced the Nine-Turn Profound Art, the more he understood its formidable nature. It was no empty rumor that this art could lead to the sanctification of the physical body. In all the myriad worlds, it was said that only two people had truly mastered it—Sun Wukong and Yang Jian—but even they had only reached the fifth level. Others who practiced it usually stopped at the second or third level, or even just the first.

Chu Feng was lucky this time to have encountered the Blood Jade Coral, which allowed him to succeed. He just didn't know if the coral would still be effective for the third level.

Out of the ten thousand pieces of Blood Jade Coral, he had used over six thousand, mostly by himself. Although Chu Feng taught the Nine-Turn Profound Art to the women, the unfortunate news was that none of the four managed to even reach the entry level. However, the Blood Jade Coral did have some effect; it greatly improved their vitality and physical condition. After absorbing it, they were so full of energy that they developed a delusion that they could suppress him.

But who was afraid of whom?

The period of cultivation had nearly turned him into a monk. He was parched. Now, it was finally time to be irrigated and nourished by the tide. Chu Feng immediately brought out all his skills to "educate" them properly, thoroughly suppressing them. In the end, he forced them to face reality by letting them experience the impact of billions of units of energy.

He had expected this to be a simple session of cultivation through combat, but to his surprise, there was an unexpected bonus: the efficacy of this session was better than any before. Could it be because of the Blood Jade Coral? Chu Feng quickly realized the key to the problem.

From then on, there was no stopping.

Two months later, they had spent a total of six months sailing on the ship and finally arrived at the Central Territory, the foremost of the five major territories of the Tianyuan World.

Upon reaching the port, Chu Feng and his group parted ways with the merchant ship. Their goal was clear: return to the Ji Clan. As an Imperial Clan on par with the Jiang Clan, the Ji Clan resided within the Central Territory, and its strength was, if anything, superior to the Jiang Clan's. However, Ji Ling'er clearly did not hold the same status and position in the Ji Clan as Jiang Yan did in hers. She was merely an ordinary direct descendant; otherwise, she would not have been accompanied by a mere Nascent Soul guardian.

Of course, Ji Ling'er’s return this time was a complete transformation. Her previous Primordial Spirit Body was indeed gifted, and combined with her Ji Clan bloodline, she was talented. However, there were over a dozen such existences in the Ji Clan, and her bloodline purity had been at the bottom of that group—a misfortune originally caused by Zhao Yan.

But that didn't matter anymore. With Chu Feng’s help and their diligent dual cultivation, she had been practicing the complete Great Grade Celestial Immortal Art and had long since been reborn. First was the improvement in her aptitude; her original Primordial Spirit Body had only been at the third stage, but now it was a top-tier fifth-stage divine body. Added to that was her Imperial Ji Clan bloodline. While previously considered average, her bloodline was now among the most elite in the entire Ji Clan.

Coupled with her cultivation at the peak of the Golden Core stage, her progress over just a few years was transformative. Furthermore, she had condensed an eleventh-grade Golden Core, which was even more powerful than the one Zhao Dongdong had once formed. Of course, through dual cultivation, Chu Feng’s own Golden Core had long reached the twelfth grade, and the Golden Cores of Jiang Yan, An Miaoyi, and Chen Wanwan had also undergone a complete metamorphosis.

As an Imperial Clan and one of the top powers in the Tianyuan World, the Ji Clan naturally occupied the best celestial grottoes. The Taixu Mountains were where the Ji Clan resided. The entire mountain range was rich in spiritual energy and protected by great arrays. Looking from afar, it appeared to be amidst clouds and mist, breathtakingly beautiful like a fairyland. At the foot of the mountains lay one of the largest cities in the Central Territory—the Taixu Sacred City—which was naturally under the control of the Ji Clan.

After arriving in the Central Territory, Chu Feng and his group headed straight there, taking only half a month to arrive.
