Everlasting

Chapter 992 Wave of Fortune

Translator: podao001

In Chen Feng’s opinion, some of the 100,000 cultivators that Liu Wuxiang brought over would be able to quickly advance to the Ascendant Immortal stage. Liu Wuxiang, An Hun and the rest were one such example. There was only half a step left between their present state and the Ascendant Immortal stage.

Hearing those words from Chen Feng, Liu Wuxiang chose not to say anything else. Instead, he made up his mind on something.

One month later, Eternal World shook slightly and rumbling sounds rang out. In the beginning, everyone had assumed that it was just an earthquake. Quickly, however, they realized that something wondrous was happening.

“What is happening?” In just a flash, Chen Feng’s divine sense spread to a distance of five million kilometres. Next, a wondrous feeling surged into his mind. It felt as though Eternal World itself had come to life. Thick earthen power seeped out from the depths of the earth. Facing the momentum from this power of the world, Chen Feng’s cultivation base kept climbing.

Am I going to break through again? Chen Feng was somewhat shocked.

Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng!

Pillars of light of varying colours rose up from the seemingly endless Eternal World. The Northern Plains, Northernmost Regions, Southern Sea Islands, Western Regions, Eastern Provinces, Central Plains and various other places underwent a wondrous transformation. A sea transformed into mulberry fields, mountains collapsed, the earth split open. It seemed as though Eternal World was undergoing a massive change. The sky-vaulting pillars of light lasted for one joss stick’s worth of time before disappearing. But even then, Eternal World continued shaking.

“The time of fortune has come.” Chen Feng’s eyes shone brightly. The positions of all the pillars of light earlier were firmly fixed within his mind.

A great commotion was happening within Eternal World. Various immortal palaces emerged and legacies materialized. Treasures, weapons and artifacts belonging to geniuses kept appearing. This was the reason why the cultivators from other worlds had chosen to come to Eternal World.

“What a ferocious momentum!” Chen Feng had assumed that this large-scale incident would pop up one at a time in a gradual manner. Unexpectedly, tens of pillars of light would erupt at the same time. Every single one of the pillars of light represented a place of fortune.

Furthermore, the mountains and rivers kept transforming as more grotto-mansions and immortal serendipities emerged at a constant rate.

“This is something that Eternal World had accumulated for billions of years. With this wave of fortune, who knows how many cultivators will be able to ascend?”

“Humph! These things belong to our Eternal World. Let’s kill off the otherworlders first!”

“East Dragon Island allied itself with the Blood Plane. Let’s go to East Dragon Island and demand an explanation from them.”

“Forget it. Heavenly Firmaments Palace is allying with the Immortal Plane. Why aren’t you asking for an explanation from Heavenly Firmaments Palace?”

“That’s not the same thing. The Immortal Plane is an orthodox power. We will all be ascending to the Immortal Plane in the future.”

“Nonsense! If you ask me, the Immortal Plane is the most despicable one here. As an exalted existence, it is actually trying to take advantage of us here. Shameless!”

“Eh! Brother Liu, where are you going?”

“Rather than waste time talking, I might as well go try my luck. Perhaps I am a destined person, fated to obtain an Immortal artifact.”

“Wait, let’s partner up!”

...

Chen Feng peered into the distance. With his eye power, he could see several additional islands appearing on the ocean surface. Some played host to various vegetation, some had ancient buildings and some were completely bare.

The one closest to East Dragon Island was only half a million kilometres away. Without even waiting for the orders from the higher-ups, many of the cultivators from the East Dragon Island Alliance had already – incapable of stopping themselves – rushed forward.

“As expected, just a congregation of loose sands.” Chen Feng shook his head.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Several Ascendant Immortals appeared before Chen Feng to respectfully salute him.

“Go follow them. Do not intervene first. Observe the situation before doing anything,” Chen Feng instructed them.

“Understood!”

In Chen Feng’s opinion, although many places of fortune had appeared on Eternal World, the number of treasures that were truly at a high level was likely small.

There were differences between the sky-vaulting pillars of light earlier. Some were strong while some were weak. Take those islands that were close to East Dragon Island for example. Due to how weak the pillars of light there were, Chen Feng had no interest in exploring those places at all.

The transformation to Eternal World caused the world of cultivation to fall into a state of chaos. The two sides that were at war immediately stopped fighting. Instead, they rushed to snatch the treasures.

The large-scale war had ended, replaced by small-scale battles. Moreover, the number of fights there was even higher, leading to a greater number of casualties.

Nearly half of the hundreds of millions of cultivators from the East Dragon Island Alliance had left. Those who remained were either those with relatively weak cultivation bases or those with a steadier mindset. They believed that cultivating in East Dragon Island was the best choice for them. At that very moment, East Dragon Island was filled with concentrated streams of immortal energy. Additionally, a group of cultivators there had also obtained immortal dao laws. They were in the process of improving their cultivation bases. Thus, this was not a good time for them to head out and fight for treasures. Naturally, there were also some who were simply observing the situation before deciding what to do. It was a highly chaotic situation. It was indeed not the right time to be participating in this.

“Island Lord!”

The Ascendant Immortals from the East Dragon Island Alliance were incapable of holding themselves back anymore. Seeing that, Chen Feng nodded. Given the circumstances, there was no way he could hold them back.

As for Chen Feng, he continued to stay back. There was a reason for that. Firstly, he was observing the situation. Secondly, he was waiting for the Longevity Tower to finish its preparations.

“Alright, kid. Southeast, 15 million kilometres. There is the aura of an Immortal artifact there.”

“Very well, let’s go!”

After getting the confirmation from the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng moved out. The Longevity Wings spread out and he quickly covered a distance of 15 million kilometres.

It was a mountain range. There was already a high number of cultivators gathered there. However, due to the layers of restrictions around the mountain range, most of the cultivators there were incapable of entering. Upon arriving, Chen Feng inspected the place for a moment and found that only some Earthen Immortals could enter.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of cultivators there, Chen Feng shook his head. Even Human Immortals were incapable of entering. Those Sky Human stage cultivators would only be able to watch the show. Additionally, this show was not that safe to watch. One careless mistake would result in death.

Chen Feng had no intentions of revealing himself. He instead utilized a secret technique to cloak himself. Next, he utilized his eye technique to quickly make his way through the restrictions. Restrictions of this level was not that effective against him. Thus, he was able to quickly enter. The moment he appeared, he had to face the attacks from two Earthen Immortals.

Chen Feng did not block the attacks. Neither did he retaliate. Instead, his figure flashed to disappear from sight.

“An expert!”

“This is bad!”

The two Earthen Immortals exchanged glances, both feeling shocked and grateful.

After arriving, there was no need for Tower to guide him anymore. Chen Feng was able to quickly lock down the aura of the Immortal artifact there. He bypassed layer after layer of restrictions to finally appear before the Immortal artifact.

“Low-grade Immortal artifact!” Chen Feng shook his head, feeling somewhat disappointed.

The item before him was a sword. It hovered in mid-air, emanating a faint-golden light and an aura that contained both killing intent and sword intent.

Decades ago, Chen Feng would have become excited upon seeing this Immortal artifact. He would think how he should go about obtaining it. The present Chen Feng, on the other hand, already possessed a Divine artifact and Immortal artifacts. There was also a batch of Dao artifacts just waiting to level up to the Immortal tier. Due to that, the allure of this low-grade Immortal artifact was no longer that great to Chen Feng. Speaking of which, Chen Feng himself was already strong enough to block the attack of an Immortal artifact.

That said, even if he would not be using it, he could still give it to his subordinates. Either that or present it to his friends. Besides, he could also break apart the Immortal artifact and let the Longevity Tower devour it. That could increase its power slightly.

And so, Chen Feng reached out with his hand and grabbed the sword. Although he had swiftly made his way in, his divine sense was constantly keeping an eye on his surroundings. He knew that there were some other items of note besides the Immortal artifact here. Only, he had no intentions of taking those items. Should he do so, the hundreds of thousands of cultivators outside would likely start cussing.

Frankly speaking, even the Earthen Immortals and Human Immortals of the East Dragon Island Alliance might not be interested in the treasures here.

After Chen Feng grabbed hold of the sword, a formidable force – like a tidal wave – charged into the sword. Chen Feng managed to subdue the sword in less than one breath’s worth of time. Without even inspecting it, he tossed it into the Longevity Tower.

“Tower, if you need it, just go ahead and devour it.”

“Forget it. Items at this level are not worth my attention,” Tower replied lazily.

“As I recall, you would rush out to devour even some low-quality spirit stones in the past.”

“Hey, times change.”

“Hand over the item!”

Just as Chen Feng was about to leave, several Earthen Immortals broke their way in. One of them immediately attacked Chen Feng.

Chen Feng casually raised a hand to shatter the sword beam shooting towards him. With a grasping motion, be brought forth a dimension. Following that, a massive combat puppet strode out from the dimension.

“The combat power of a high-level Earthen Immortal. Fellows, be careful.” After saying that, Chen Feng’s figure disappeared in a flash.

“That fellow looks familiar.”

“That’s the Island Lord of East Dragon Island! Why did we end up bumping into him? How unlucky!”

“The item here has been taken away. We should go check out some other places.”

“We should deal with our present issue first!”

Back then, Chen Feng had sealed up this combat puppet. After it was released, the combat puppet sensed that the Immortal artifact that it was supposed to guard had disappeared. Thus, it directed its fury at the cultivators there.

“Guys, join forces! Let’s defeat this combat puppet first!”

Although all of them were silently cursing Chen Feng, none of them dared to go trouble him. They could only curse Chen Feng for bullying the weak. Truth be told, they were more or less at the same level. Additionally, they had been cultivating longer than Chen Feng. And yet, even an Ascendant Immortal would have to exercise caution when facing Chen Feng.

It\'s just an Immortal artifact. Is this considered bullying? Chen Feng shook his head. He was already 5,000 kilometres away from the mountain range. After another joss stick’s worth of time, he entered a palace.

The palace that had emerged from the ground – splitting open the flat lands in the process – was a pseudo-Immortal artifact. Rising upwards, it shone with a dazzling, multi-coloured light. After bypassing the restrictive barriers there, Chen Feng saw several Earthen Immortals joining forces to fight an Ascendant Immortal. Not too far away were a few jade pillars. Sealed within the jade pillars were magic treasures, medicinal pills, scriptures and some other items. As Chen Feng was trying to get a better view of the items there, the two sides attacked Chen Feng at the same time.

One Ascendant Immortal and eight Earthen Immortals. Back then, they had entered this place at roughly the same time. Thankfully, the eight Earthen Immortals were on the same side. Due to that, they were able to cooperate well and fight the Ascendant Immortal. However, Chen Feng’s appearance changed everything. Thus, without even discussing it beforehand, both parties came to the unanimous decision to finish off this newcomer first.
