Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 256 Finally Reaching the Fourth Tier (Seeking Subscription)
"Don't be so reserved. Lift your head up. I, as the leader, won't do anything to you."

A gentle voice came from above, even carrying a hint of amusement.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng hesitated for a moment before raising his head and looking upwards.

A young Taoist priest sat in the seat above, wearing a nine-cloud crown with bright pearls that seemed to contain endless stars.

Wearing the Eight Treasures Longevity Purple Robe, every line of which flows with mysterious runes.

At this moment, the Qingping Sword swirled around him, as if playfully teasing him, emitting clear chimes.

He was one of the six great sages, the Tongtian Sect Master.

What's even more astonishing is that there are wisps of light flowing in the eyes of this cult leader, which are like sword beams and exude an extremely sharp aura.

Just one glance was enough for Chen Feng to feel a sharp pain in his mind.

Without a doubt, if this saint had murderous intent, killing him would be extremely easy.

Even if you use every trick in the book, you'll probably still fall into the other side's trap.

This was the first time he had encountered a powerhouse of this level, and he didn't even dare to use his Yuan Energy Palace lightly, for fear that the other party would notice something was amiss...

With his mind racing, Chen Feng immediately came up with an idea, his expression becoming serious.

"I wonder what your orders are, Master? Just say the word and I will go through fire and water, even at the cost of my life."

In any case, it is absolutely right to state one's own position first.

"Heh, you're quite clever, kid. Don't worry, the things I've asked you to do haven't reached the point where you'd be willing to die for them."

The Tongtian Sect Leader chuckled softly, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Then, he seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, his voice echoing throughout the entire palace.

"A long time ago, I noticed you because of an accident. You are very special. How should I put it? To put it simply, you are beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements. Even we saints cannot calculate any information about you. If it weren't for that accident, I would probably have misjudged you."

"So you could say that if you do something, as long as you do it discreetly, no amount of means can prove that you did it, and those with great supernatural powers won't sense it when you do it."

"Just now, I witnessed your extraordinary abilities. In an instant, your strength increased several levels, allowing you to withstand the full force of that demonic monkey's attack, and you seem poised to break through to the Golden Immortal realm at any moment..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but make some guesses in his mind. His special characteristics might be related to the Yuan Energy Palace.

The cult leader in front of us wants to use his special status to do something.

The next moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly appeared in front of Chen Feng, his face gentle.

"I don't care what opportunities or secrets you have, but I've confirmed one thing: you haven't been possessed by anyone. In other words, you are still a disciple of my Jie Sect, right?"

Chen Feng's pupils suddenly contracted. This speed was too fast, leaving no room for reaction. No wonder he was a saint.

Without any hesitation, he made a firm and resolute statement.

“That’s right. I, Chen Feng, have always considered myself a disciple of the Jie Sect. I have never forgotten this. I am willing to give everything for the revival of the Jie Sect.”

"Ah."

The Master of the Heavens chuckled again. As a saint, he could naturally tell that this was just a perfunctory remark, and shook his head.

"I don't need you to give everything, and I'm not that kind of person. You just need to follow your heart. If possible, you will have my support later. Don't have any worries, and you can show your strength as much as possible."

"I can give you anything you need that I have."

"Furthermore, the disciples of the Jie Sect in the Heavenly Court will all obey your command and serve you. From now on, you will be the swordsman of my Jie Sect in this era."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng fell silent.

It has to be said that the leader in front of us is offering far too much. The support of a saint, plus the accumulated resources of the Jie Sect, one of the three major sects, means that once accepted, the subsequent advancement will be meteoric.

But after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked the question.

"Then I would like to ask the leader, what do I need to give in return?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader tapped the Qingping Sword beside him and replied, "It's very simple. That is to bring the Jie Sect back to its former glory. I don't ask for too much. At least let those disciples return and stop suffering. At least let those disciples who were imprisoned by the Investiture of the Gods be freed."

The two simple objectives are to rescue the disciples who were suppressed and converted during the previous Investiture of the Gods war and to destroy the Investiture of the Gods list.

Without much hesitation, Chen Feng immediately nodded in agreement, his expression resolute.

"This is what disciples of the Jie Sect should do, and I have no choice but to do it."

In this world, having a saint as your backer makes things much easier.

Moreover, with the support of numerous resources, it is also very convenient to improve one's strength.

Most importantly, they are not worried about any threats. After their strength increases, they will naturally rely on the Yuan Energy Palace to solidify it and completely transform it into their own.

Even if he is tricked and dies, it won't be a loss, since there's always Chen Feng from another world as a backup plan.

In general, agreeing to it is beneficial from any perspective.

The Master of the Heavens smiled slightly, as expected. He flashed back to his seat and sat down casually.

With a light tap of the finger, the scenery within the palace instantly changed.

Suddenly, a misty purple aura rose up around it, like a light veil billowing and swirling into the clouds.

Suddenly, thousands of golden rays descended from the heavens, and cranes formed from celestial energy swept across the rosy light carrying lingzhi mushrooms. Spiritual springs fell from the void, and the splashing water droplets transformed into rare flowers and herbs wherever they landed.

Strange phenomena occurred frequently, and the sky was bathed in rosy light.

These rays of light seemed to have a life of their own, weaving and wandering through the air, sometimes coalescing into the shapes of various auspicious beasts, and sometimes transforming into ancient and mysterious runes.

At this moment, the environment inside the Biyun Palace changed, and the celestial energy was comparable to that of the deepest part of the Heavenly Court.

This is the method of a sage; with a mere wave of his hand, he can change the environment and create an ethereal atmosphere.

With each breath, one can feel the flow of celestial energy.

Without needing to control it, the Huanyu Guixu could start operating, and the original spiritual energy in the body was rapidly transformed into wisps of celestial energy.

"Alright, let's not delay any longer. Advancing to Golden Immortal sooner will allow us to achieve more in this great era."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately stopped hesitating, sat cross-legged on the ground, focused his mind, and began to circulate his own magic technique. His body seemed to transform into a vortex, with the surrounding immortal energy rapidly surging into his body, and his entire body began to gradually change under the influence of the immortal energy.

The Master of Heaven sat in the seat above, quietly watching this scene.

The next moment, a ripple appeared beside him, and Zhao Gongming appeared, bowed respectfully, and then looked at Chen Feng in the middle, asking with slight hesitation.

"Master, is it really a good idea to trust him so much?"

It should be understood that by doing this, Tongtian Jiaozhu was essentially betting everything on the person in front of him in this era. If he failed, there was no doubt that the Jie Sect would continue to suffer misery for hundreds or even thousands of years to come.

Faced with his disciple's question, Tongtian's eyes remained unmoved, and he continued to quietly look at Chen Feng in the center.

“I know, but I’m willing to believe the person in front of me. After the Great Tribulation of the Gods, the six of us were all sealed in this chaos. We can only rely on our clones to walk in the world, and there are many restrictions on us.”

"To break the current situation, we need to do something unusual. After hundreds of years of observation, I have confidence in this little guy. In every respect, he is the best choice."

And so, time slipped away silently.

Within the chaos, inside the Azure Cloud Palace.

Chen Feng, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. In an instant, a golden light flashed from his eyes, and the Myriad Manifestations Eye suddenly unfolded.

The next moment, the surrounding environment changed. Clouds gathered at his feet to form a white jade lotus platform. As the magic incantation flowed, countless glass-colored light patterns floated around the lotus platform, condensing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into visible silver threads that slowly flowed around his Taoist robe.

A golden Dao Fruit appeared out of thin air in his dantian, and as the Dao Fruit spun, countless profound runes floated out of his body.

The Yuan Energy Palace has a powerful effect; sharing it allows this technique to be perfectly integrated into this world without any conflicts.

At this moment, even the usually indifferent Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

After drifting along for decades, I finally achieved the fourth rank.

Fourth-order transcendent beings soar beyond the world, possessing long and seemingly endless lifespans, and their every move exudes an inexplicable power.

At this moment, all of its techniques were enhanced in an unimaginable way, and the Eight Extraordinary Techniques truly demonstrated their power.

When the Spirit Binding Technique is used, binding the souls of living people is no problem at all. The powerful regenerative ability of the Double-Handed Technique can rapidly heal any injury as long as the victim is not killed in one blow.

The entire physical body was also greatly strengthened.

It's no exaggeration to say that with his current abilities, he could suppress the Great Sage from before without any problem.

"Oh, it's done."

Tongtian sat in the seat above, watching the scene unfold with a smile on his lips.

Sure enough, he hadn't misjudged the person. The person before him possessed terrifyingly strong skills and an extraordinary physical body. Coupled with his undetectable characteristics, he was undoubtedly the best candidate to destroy the Investiture of the Gods.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately came to his senses, his eyes regained their composure, and he solemnly bowed to the Tongtian above.

"Thank you, Master."

This time, he was quite sincere. Although he could still reach the fourth rank on his own, he had saved a lot of time.

Tongtian waved his hand casually: "It's nothing. This is all your own ability. Since I asked you to do something, I naturally wouldn't do it empty-handed."

The next moment, with a casual wave of his hand, a cyan immortal flame appeared and obediently came to Chen Feng's front.

"Your eyes are quite peculiar; they seem to be able to absorb flames to enhance them. However, they are still somewhat lacking. This flame is a seed of the Azure Lotus Heart Flame from when I attained enlightenment. Now, after so many years, it has been cultivated quite well, so I'm giving it to you."

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed inwardly, "This is a saint! He's so incredibly generous. The intensity of this flame is stronger than all of my own flames combined!"

Once refined, the Eye of All Things will receive a significant boost, making it possible to fight against an ordinary fourth-tier opponent with just these eyes.

Unexpectedly, Tongtian's actions did not end there. He summoned another spear that emitted a chilling flame. The spear was surrounded by a pale blue flame, which was not scorching but had a bone-chilling coldness, causing even the surrounding air to condense into tiny ice crystals.

The spearhead is as sharp as frost, and the cold flame gathers at the tip into a point of cold light, like a cold star falling on the spearhead. Faint ice crystal patterns flow on the spear body, like a frozen galaxy.

"A mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Ice Soul Radiant Star Spear. I see that your skills are impressive, but you don't have a suitable weapon. I have one left here, so I'll give it to you. It contains a spear technique. You can practice it after you refine it."

"In addition, this spiritual treasure can also be used as a vessel for severing the three corpses. You haven't reached that level yet, but I'll give you the method in advance. It's inside the spear. Take a close look."

"Finally, your master Jiang Huai has passed away and can no longer teach you. From now on, you will be my last outer disciple, which will also make things easier for you in the future."

At this moment, as he reached out and took the two items, Chen Feng couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't calm down even after catching his breath.

No, the person in front of me is giving way too much.

You have to understand that in the past, he painstakingly planned and fought countless battles to obtain even a tiny bit of something, and all those things combined were not as valuable as these two things in front of him.

A single spirit fire, a single spirit treasure—I couldn't afford to exchange them even if I sold myself.

With a thud, Chen Feng knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed.

"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

He's not a pedantic person; the idea that one should only kneel to one's parents and not to heaven is pure nonsense.

A man's knees are worth gold, and now is the time to cash in on that, especially since those two items are worth many times more than gold.

With Tongtian becoming his master, there was absolutely no problem with kneeling in worship.

Report your favor on the golden platform, and bring Yulong to die for the king.

At this moment, Chen Feng truly intended to wholeheartedly serve the Jie Sect.

Seeing this, Tongtian nodded in satisfaction and casually helped Chen Feng up.

"Alright, I'm not one for such formalities. You don't need to perform such a grand ceremony when you see me in the future. That's all. You can go back now. Your position in the Heavenly Court has already been arranged. The Jie Sect and Ziwei have some ties, and with your current strength, you can sit comfortably in your position."

"By the way, your senior sister, the Holy Mother Wudang, is also in the Heavenly Court. You can help her by taking that position. If you want to see me in the future, just come to this Chaos Mouth. I will sense it. Don't forget to find a way to destroy the Investiture of the Gods."

After Chen Feng bowed and took his leave, Tongtian waved his hand, and the Qingping Sword appeared, carrying Chen Feng and Zhao Guangming away from there.

After doing all this, Tongtian looked at the empty hall and his expression returned to calm. Then he sighed softly, his voice echoing in the hall.

"Even a sage is ultimately human; he cannot be truly ruthless in the Great Dao. Since we have already torn off the pretense, there will be no more sentimentality among the Three Pure Ones. As for those two in the West, I have already made my move in this era. Let's see whose methods are more skillful..."
