Chapter 208 Fei Peng’s Immortal Cultivation

“He’s still too young. Even with my secret help, he can’t withstand such a massive influx of information.”

Li Fan looked at Ye Feipeng, who was still showing signs of pain even in his unconscious state, and mused to himself.

He pulled out a Spirit Enlightenment Fruit from his storage ring and gave it to him.

Then, he used Spiritual Qi to help him refine it.

Soon, Ye Feipeng’s expression relaxed.

Li Fan placed his hand on Ye Feipeng’s head, activating the Cloud Water Illusion Dream Skill again, carefully sculpting Ye Feipeng’s “past life” memories.

When Ye Feipeng woke up the next day, drenched in sweat, his expression was much calmer.

He wrote down a prescription and ordered his servants to fetch the ingredients.

While taking a hot bath, he planned his path to rise in this life.

Compared to the chaotic thoughts of yesterday, his mind was significantly clearer today.

“With the help of the Xuanhuang Clear Heart Mantra and the prescription, I should be able to remove the miasma from my body on my own.”

“But without Spiritual Qi, I can’t Cultivate, which makes it useless.”

“I absolutely cannot wait another ten years; I must seize this opportunity to leave this place early.”

In Ye Feipeng’s memory, about half a month later, a Daoist Cultivator would coincidentally descend upon the Li Realm.

This Daoist Cultivator was not the one who had always cooperated with Great Li, and therefore was unwilling to risk helping Great Li’s subjects smuggle themselves out.

Ignoring the desperate pleas of the Li Realm’s officials, the Daoist Cultivator was about to leave.

The Emperor suddenly remembered the white bone jade hand that had fallen into the imperial palace not long ago.

So, treating a desperate situation with a desperate measure, the Emperor claimed that Great Li possessed an ancient exotic treasure.

As long as the Immortal Master was willing to take a group of people to the Cultivation World, this exotic treasure would be presented with both hands.

Perhaps due to his apprehension of the immortal-mortal miasma, the Daoist Cultivator did not directly seize it.

Instead, after some thought, he agreed.

However, he had his own conditions.

He would only take children with Cultivation Aptitude, and the number could not be too many.

Thus, this Daoist Cultivator personally selected ten children from the descendants of Great Li’s powerful nobles and brought them back to the Cultivation World.

Ye Feipeng remembered that Xiao Heng of the Xiao family and Su Changyu of the Su family were among them.

And because his Aptitude was insufficient, he was not chosen.

That’s why he had wasted ten years in this Li Realm for nothing.

“In my previous life, when I was in the Qi Refining Mid-Stage, I once met Xiao Heng. At that time, he was already in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, far surpassing me.”

“On the path of Cultivation, one step fast means every step is fast.”

“Wasting ten years led to completely different achievements later on.”

“In this life, it will certainly not be like that.”

“As long as I can break free from these shackles, it will be like a fish leaping into the vast sea, and a bird soaring into the boundless sky.”

Ye Feipeng’s eyes gleamed as he stepped out of the wooden tub and closed his eyes to Cultivate the Xuanhuang Clear Heart Mantra.

Perhaps it was the benefit of Rebirth, but he felt that the efficiency of removing the miasma from his body in this life was much faster than in his previous life.

It only took him a little over ten days to almost completely remove all the miasma.

This made Ye Feipeng even more delighted.

However, for the next few days, Ye Feipeng stopped the process of miasma removal.

A Mortal with absolutely no miasma in his body would be too conspicuous.

If it aroused the suspicion of that Immortal Master, it would be bad.

This current state was just like a Mortal who naturally had very little immortal-mortal miasma in their body.

It ensured he would be chosen without drawing attention, the degree was just right.

“Having Rebirth, I must be even more careful and cautious.” Ye Feipeng constantly reminded himself.

Just as in his memory, five days later, that Daoist Cultivator descended upon the capital.

After another half a day, Ye Feipeng, along with over a thousand bewildered children, arrived at the square to be selected by the Daoist Cultivator.

Even as a person who had undergone Rebirth, his future fate was still in the hands of others at this moment.

This made Ye Feipeng inevitably feel a bit nervous.

Fortunately, when the Daoist Cultivator’s gaze swept over him, he paused, and finally chose him.

This made Ye Feipeng feel both relieved and excited.

Not long after, the other children who had not been selected all left.

On the vast square, only the Daoist Cultivator and ten uneasy children, including Ye Feipeng, remained.

The Daoist Cultivator summoned a flying boat and was about to take them away.

At this moment, Su Changyu suddenly shouted, “Immortal Master, please save my younger sister!”

Ye Feipeng’s heart stirred.

In his memory, this Su family younger sister’s Cultivation talent seemed even more terrifying than Xiao Heng’s.

In his previous life, before he died, he vaguely heard that she seemed to have already achieved the Golden Core realm.

Although the Daoist Cultivator was a bit impatient, he still went to the Su residence.

Upon returning, he had a joyful expression.

Thus, an infant still in swaddling clothes was added to their group.

Before departing, the Daoist Cultivator distributed the Xuanhuang Clear Heart Mantra and accompanying medicines, instructing them to Cultivate on their own first.

After flying over Great Li for more than ten days, the flying boat finally broke through the Immortal Severing Grand Formation and arrived in the Cultivation World.

Feeling the dense Spiritual Qi around him, Ye Feipeng immediately fell into deep intoxication.

Carefully guiding the Spiritual Qi into his body, Ye Feipeng officially began his transformation into a Daoist Cultivator.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when a thunderous roar suddenly exploded in his ear.

It startled him awake from his Cultivation.

“What Cultivator dares to help Mortals smuggle themselves out?!”

The thunderous sound echoed in his ears, making Ye Feipeng dizzy and causing his heart to skip a beat.

A bad premonition suddenly arose.

“Fellow Daoist, please listen to my explanation…” He heard the Daoist Cultivator who brought them out frantically explain.

However, the other party seemed to have no intention of showing mercy.

“Less nonsense! Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance law, traitors to the realm, die!”

“Boom!”

Following the other party’s cold voice, Ye Feipeng only felt that the flying boat he was on seemed to be hit by something, shaking violently.

“This is truly too much! If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have the ability!”

The deafening sounds of colliding Daoist Moves continued to come, and the stirred Qi waves blew like a hurricane.

The flying boat instantly became as fragile as duckweed in the wind, swaying precariously, as if it could fall at any moment.

Inside the cabin, all the people from the Li Realm, except Su Xiaomei who was still sleeping soundly, had awakened from their Cultivation.

Although they had some Cultivation Aptitude, they were still just children around ten years old.

Moreover, they were all pampered children from wealthy families who had never even seen Mortal fighting.

Let alone the scene of Daoist Cultivators clashing before their eyes.

They all had pale faces, were panicked, and at a loss.

Only Ye Feipeng performed better; though startled, he remained calm and looked out of the flying boat.

He saw that the two Cultivators seemed to be evenly matched, and the battle was fierce.

The momentum was immense, and brilliant light filled the sky.

It was impossible to see the specific battle scene clearly.

But judging from the aftermath of their clash, these two were at least Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

“This flying boat beneath our feet was never a powerful Magical Artifact to begin with.”

“It was directly hit by that Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator who suddenly appeared, and it’s already severely damaged.”

“Now, under the impact of the two sides’ battle, it could completely break at any moment.”

“Furthermore, it seems that the smuggling has been exposed.”

“Staying here is a dead end!”

Ye Feipeng forced himself to calm down and thought rapidly.

“I also operated this flying boat in my previous life; as long as there are no Restrictions, any Qi Refining Stage Cultivator can pilot it.”

Thinking of this, Ye Feipeng rushed straight to the bow of the ship, leaving the other children from the Li Realm looking at each other in dismay.

After all, Xiao Heng was a bit more alert and followed forward to see if there was anything he could help with.

Su Changyu was the oldest among these children.

However, he hadn't even finished dispelling the miasma from his body and was still just a Mortal.

Knowing that he couldn't help much, he didn't follow to join the excitement.

He just took care of Su Xiaomei while comforting the others.

“Fatty, what are you doing?” Xiao Heng walked into the bow and saw Ye Feipeng touching the Void Realm in front of him with both hands.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he seemed to be struggling immensely.

Ye Feipeng didn’t answer, only desperately trying to control the flying boat beneath his feet.

“Oh, I see. You want to control the flying boat and then escape.” Xiao Heng observed for a while and suddenly understood.

“Why isn’t it moving?”

Ye Feipeng felt irritated and his mind went blank, causing him to fall to the ground from exhaustion.

“Let me try!”

Ye Feipeng was about to curse Xiao Heng to vent his frustration, but he suddenly noticed the flying boat beneath him trembling slightly.

“Isn’t it very easy?”

“You can control the flying boat?”

The two voices sounded at the same time.

Ye Feipeng’s face first showed a hint of shock, then upon hearing that, he couldn’t help but feel a touch of jealousy.

However, at this moment of life and death, he couldn’t afford to care about such things.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Ye Feipeng quickly urged, “Quick, pilot the flying boat and leave here.”

Xiao Heng’s innocent voice came, “Where should we escape to! Everywhere looks the same; I can’t tell the direction at all!”

Ye Feipeng was instantly furious, “Just pick a direction and…”

Before he finished speaking, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

As if he had thought of something, Ye Feipeng suddenly looked out of the flying boat, carefully distinguishing the surrounding scenery.

On the sea not far away, there were nine whirlpools of varying sizes.

The seawater was turbulent and particularly conspicuous.

“This sea area, I seemed to have been here in my previous life when I tried to return to the Li Realm.”

“The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Town Guardian island cannot be visited now; not far to the northwest of here, there seems to be an uninhabited island.”

“Let’s go there to avoid the limelight first.”

Immediately discerning the direction, he pointed to Xiao Heng and said, “Quick, fly there!”

Hearing this, Xiao Heng immediately stumbled and controlled the flying boat, fleeing from the battlefield.

And the two Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed to be in the midst of a fierce battle, completely unaware of the quietly escaping people from the Li Realm.

Ye Feipeng couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

After flying for more than a day, they finally saw an island, neither too big nor too small, covered in dense jungle.

“We’re here, we’re here! Fly into this forest and hide first.” Ye Feipeng quickly called out.

Xiao Heng had only recently Broken through to the Qi Refinement Stage, and piloting the flying boat for such a long time had already left him somewhat exhausted.

Seeing Ye Feipeng say this, he felt relieved and carefully landed the flying boat in the jungle.

Ye Feipeng had everyone pick some branches and leaves and place them on the surface of the flying boat as camouflage.

Afterward, the group returned to the cabin to discuss the next steps.

“To encounter such a thing right after arriving in the Cultivation World, how unlucky!” Xiao Heng sighed.

“It’s good enough that we’re alive. Didn’t you hear that our smuggling was discovered?” another child, about the same age as Xiao Heng, said.

Ye Feipeng said, “For now, we can only hide on this island for a while. Once the commotion dies down, we’ll figure out a way to leave here.”

Everyone sighed, their small faces full of distress.

“That’s all we can do. Fortunately, there’s water and fruit trees on this island. We won’t have to worry about food for a while.” Su Changyu let out a long sigh.

With an uncertain future, everyone was in a bad mood.

As night fell, they quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Ye Feipeng suddenly felt something and woke up from his dream.

He quietly went outside the flying boat and saw a streak of light coming from the horizon, arriving in an instant.

Its target was directly the concealed flying boat.

“Oh no!” Ye Feipeng’s heart leaped.

Before he could react, the light had already landed in front of him.

“Quick, help me in…”

The newcomer was precisely the Daoist Cultivator who had taken them away from the Li Realm.

However, at this moment, he was covered in blood and his aura was weak, seemingly severely injured.

But he was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Ye Feipeng dared not be presumptuous, responded, and was about to step forward to help him.

But he saw the other party suddenly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood and fall forward to the ground.

Then, after a few twitches, he stopped moving.

“Senior!” Ye Feipeng immediately let out an exclamation.

At this moment, in the sky above, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

“Foundation Establishment cultivator Fan Li, Cultivated for one hundred sixty-five years. Achieved Foundation Establishment with the wondrous item [Gloomy Staff]. Battled in the Congyun Sea and died of severe injuries.”

“Now his body is dead and his Dao is gone, returning his Dao to Heaven!”

The brilliant spectacle was like fireworks, illuminating the sky.

Ye Feipeng was completely stunned by this sudden sight.

“Dead…?”

He was dumbfounded.

He never expected that this Cultivator named Fan Li, who had narrowly escaped death, would actually die right in front of him.

An ordinary bamboo staff slowly appeared beside him.

Looking at the corpse of this Foundation Establishment cultivator, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Ye Feipeng’s mind.

He held his breath and quietly approached.

When he reached the corpse, he remained motionless for a long time.

After a while, he slowly squatted down and, using the light from the fireworks above, quickly fumbled through the corpse.

“What are you doing?!”

In the quiet night, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Ye Feipeng was startled and almost fell to the ground.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Heng looking at him, who was currently searching the corpse, with a shocked expression.

“Shh!” Ye Feipeng couldn’t help but make a silencing gesture.

Xiao Heng also reacted at this moment.

He leaned in and whispered, “How did this Immortal Master die?”

“He probably fought that person from earlier to a mutual destruction, and after finally flying here, he couldn’t hold on any longer. He just died like that.” Ye Feipeng casually replied, continuing to search the corpse.

“Why isn’t there even a storage ring?” After searching for a long time, he couldn’t find what he wanted.

Ye Feipeng couldn’t help but complain in a low voice.

“Storage ring? Is it this?” Xiao Heng picked up a ring from the ground and couldn’t help but ask.

There will be another chapter later.
