Tian Yun and Liu Feng controlled the Longevity Tower to keep on flying through space, covering a distance of billions of li in the blink of an eye. Next up, it went even faster and one planet after another zoomed past them. In the end, Chen Feng’s group could even see the entire star region. 

The amount of power that the two could unleash using the Longevity Tower far surpassed the amount of power that Chen Feng could unleash.

However, Chen Feng was not worried. He simply smiled. No matter what happened, the Longevity Tower was still his in the end. In the Longevity Clan, Ascendant Immortals like Tian Yun and Liu Feng were low-ranking characters. Even calling them nameless mobs would not be an insult to them.

Without gaining the recognition of the Longevity Tower, getting their hands on the Longevity Tower was useless for them. The only other option for them was to forcibly refine the Longevity Tower. However, now that the Longevity Tower had recovered to the Immortal tier, not even a True Immortal can think about refining the Longevity Tower.

As the number one Divine artifact of the Celestial Longevity Plane, the Longevity Tower did have some other tricks up its sleeves.

“I wonder where we have gone to this time? Right, hurry up and mark our location! It will be bad if we fail to find our way back later!”

“We have already made our way past two star regions. Every star region is billions of times bigger than Eternal World. Heh! Given our present level of strength, it will take us at least 10 years to make it back.”

“Not 10 years, but 20 years. Earlier, the Longevity Tower had performed a spatial jump as well. That jump took us through another two star regions.”

“The other cultivators are still chasing us. They really are persistent.”

Compared to Tian Yun and Liu Feng, who were in a desperate situation, Chen Feng’s group was relatively relaxed. At that very moment, they were munching on spiritual fruits and drinking immortal wine. They were having quite the leisurely chat there. In the end, even the Yao Immortals – the Hell Dog, Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm, tree yao and tiger yao – joined in.

“Seniors, you three are at the Ascendant Immortal stage with a vast amount of experience. I hope you can give my subordinates some pointers,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“That’s not a problem. This can be considered as just having a chat,” Heavenly Premier Absolute said humbly.

“Kid, you sure don’t hold back.” Patriarch Heavenly Sword was more blunt.

That said, Bi Qing, Heavenly Premier Absolute and Patriarch Heavenly Sword had still given the four Yao Immortals some pointers. Although they were yao beasts, the path of cultivation was quite similar. Besides, how could the Yao Immortal (Earthen) stage be compared to the Ascendant Immortal stage? Not to mention, there was also Bi Qing there. In his previous life, Bi Qing was a Heavenly Immortal.

This chase continued for three years. It left Chen Feng with a feeling of helplessness. He had originally assumed that Tian Yun and Liu Feng would have a plan. Unexpectedly, once they started running, they did not stop at all. Thankfully, there were others there to accompany Chen Feng as he worked on his own cultivation. If it weren’t for that, Chen Feng would have wanted nothing more than to rush out, grab them and ask them how much longer they intended on running.

Boom!

The Longevity Tower entered a void storm, but it did not stop. On the contrary, it absorbed the power of the void storm, allowing it to move at an even faster velocity.

“The two buffoons! Do they think that they can be reckless just because this is the Longevity Tower?” Chen Feng’s face took on a serious look.

During its prime, the Longevity Tower would not have cared about this small void storm. Even now, the Longevity Tower was so durable that very few attacks could damage it. However, the ones inside the Longevity Tower might not be able to hold on. Even if they could, one mistake during this excursion into a void storm would mean getting lost in space.

Chen Feng’s speculation was spot on. Although they managed to charge out from the void storm in the end, they ended up becoming lost. Most importantly, the Longevity Tower had seemingly entered a special place.

Tian Yun and Liu Feng kept trying to control the Longevity Tower, but they were no longer capable of properly directing its course as they had previously.

“A strange power. Magnetic forces!” Tian Yun and Liu Feng exchanged glances, a grim look finally appearing on their faces. 

“Magnetic forces!”

Chen Feng’s group also revealed somewhat shocked looks.

Outer space was a very mysterious and unpredictable place. Anything and everything were the norm there. Even void storms were a very common phenomenon there.

There were some places that not even Heavenly Immortals could escape from, let alone Ascendant Immortals.

Before them was a region of space generated by magnetic forces. In truth, it was more or less similar to the magnetic field of a planet. Only, this one was stronger and more unpredictable. The essence was the same but the variability was very high.

With the exception of Chen Feng, everyone there had gone out to explore outer space many times before. Chen Feng himself did have a bit of experience in that regard. Thus, he quickly realized that they might be in a spot of trouble.

There was no telling just how big the magnetic region was. Due to the magnetic forces there, their ability to see and sense through their divine senses had been affected. In the end, even the Longevity Tower began wobbling.

Tian Yun and Liu Feng worked hard and resorted to various techniques, but the Longevity Tower was still incapable of leaving this magnetic region. On the contrary, it simply flew deeper and deeper.

In the end, Tian Yun and Liu Feng’s powers became severed depleted. Seeing no other options, they stopped and focused on recuperating their powers instead and allowed the Longevity Tower to simply fly forward aimlessly.

“Those two fellows have run out of strength. This is the best time to take action.” Heavenly Premier Absolute suggested.

“No rush. There is no need to waste energy by taking action now. Is senior worried that we might not be able to get out?” Chen Feng laughed.

“That I am not worried about. In the past, whenever I head out to outer space, I would end up spending several hundred years in space. Sometimes, it would last for over a thousand years. I can just consider this to be a wondrous trip. Besides, this is a Divine artifact. Heh! I am able to explore outer space in a Divine artifact. Who knows how many people will grow envious of me?” Heavenly Premier Absolute laughed as well.

“That’s true. If we cannot charge out, we can just cultivate here for hundreds of thousands of years or maybe millions of years. Once we are strong enough, we will be able to charge out. That said, I don’t want to wait that long. Besides, the magnetic forces here are astonishingly strong. There is also not much spiritual energy here to support our cultivation needs.” Chen Feng shook his head.

“That is the truth. Ascendant Immortals are considered the apex existences within most life-bearing worlds. However, in the face of these harsh environments, Ascendant Immortals are still quite weak. Besides, even if we possess a body that cannot die, we will still need to eat and drink. Unless we attain the legendary ageless body. Hmm, I think even the ageless body would require some form of energy to subsist, no?”

“An ageless body is just a concept. For example, a body might be able to survive for 100 million years. However, once it has exhausted its energy reserves, after 200 million years, say, that body will still degrade and rot away,” Bi Qing said.

“Those fellows actually caught up to us. I wonder, are they lucky or not?” Chen Feng shook his head.

Four Ascendant Immortals, Nameless Brahma, Zi Doutian, Ascendant Immortal Max Yang and Ascendant Immortal Alpha charged into the magnetic region. The moment they arrived, they knew that something was amiss. They quickly tried to go back only to fail.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Tian Yun and Liu Feng flew out from the Longevity Tower. They did not grow worried after seeing the four Ascendant Immortals coming after them. Instead, they laughed loudly.

“A magnetic region! How did we end up here?”

The four Ascendant Immortals displayed various moves. In the end, however, they ended with the same results as the Longevity Tower. Despite having linked up to their Celestial Planes and making use of the power of their respective worlds, they were still incapable of leaving. That said, there was a power encasing each of the four Ascendant Immortals. That power was the support given to them by the Divine artifacts of their respective Celestial Planes.

“Tian Yun, Liu Feng, what are you two laughing at? All of us have entered this place. None of us can get out!”

“Humph! It’s all because of you fellows! You’ve been hounding us for the past few years like dogs. How about it? Had enough fun?”

“Attack!”

Ascendant Immortal Max Yang attacked. However, due to the surrounding magnetic forces, the attack he unleashed could not do too much.

“Enough! I suggest we join forces to charge out before starting anything else,” Nameless Brahma said.

“Tian Yun, Liu Feng, what do you fellows think?”

“Humph! There are four of you and only two of us. If we join forces, the two of us will be in a disadvantage.”

“What is this? Are you fellows scared now? Back then, weren’t you acting all high and mighty when you were killing the others?”

“Fine. We’ll join forces. However, I believe that everyone here understands that the chances of us charging out are too small.”

“A bunch of idiots.” Chen Feng then chuckled.

Sigh, idiots indeed. Everyone is here for the Longevity Tower. Although this situation is peculiar, it is not dangerous. Joining forces is not the right thing to do here. Who knows? The other party may be planning something else.

“Let’s talk about what we are facing here.”

“There are many conditions for the formation of a magnetic region. The explosion of a large planet, the existence of special asteroids, the side-effect of void storms, the aftermath of a battle between experts, the existence of high-level magic treasures or a man-made phenomenon.”

“I don’t think this is man-made. Maybe there is something here.”

“We’ll just have to observe the situation. Those fellows have joined forces to explore this place.”

Chen Feng and the others who were still inside the Longevity Tower were throwing wild speculations around. As for Tian Yun and the others, they began analysing the energy streams outside. 

In the end, they concluded that the magnetic region here must have been created by a giant magnet. Although this magnet was not as precious as a Divine artifact, it could already be put on the same level as an Immortal artifact.

Due to that, their eyes grew fiery once more. If they can find this magnet, they can use it to forge out some magic treasures and cultivate certain secret techniques. If they really could not use it, they could also use it to exchange for something they needed.

Tian Yun and the others began having those thoughts. They had seemingly forgotten their present situation.

Still, even though their surroundings were peculiar, they had not encountered any dangers. Thus, they grew relaxed.

As for Chen Feng, he sat down cross-legged in the Longevity Tower, the Magnetic acupoints on his feet circulating slowly. Minute strands of magnetic forces silently made their way through the Longevity Tower and into Chen Feng’s body.

After Chen Feng was done refining the magnetic forces, he sent them into the insight acupoints to continuously temper and refine the magic treasures placed within them.

“This kid. He could still think about doing this at a time like this.” Patriarch Heavenly Sword gave a wry smile.

“These magnetic forces are good items. They help with cultivating secret techniques and tempering magic treasures. They are not the kind of things you can usually find.” Chen Feng smiled and his Magnetic acupoints operated at an even faster rate. Due to that, even more magnetic forces surged inside before entering Chen Feng’s body.

“The magnetic forces here are truly not to be underestimated.” Bi Qing managed to sense something.

“There are some movements within them. Looks like we will be seeing something interesting this time.” Bi Qing chuckled, a thoughtful look on his face.

“Will those fellows outside notice your actions?” Seeing the increasingly furious rate at which Chen Feng was absorbing the magnetic forces, Heavenly Premier Absolute could not help but feel worried.

“You think too little of the Longevity Tower. Still, even if they do notice this, they will not suspect anything. The Longevity Tower is a Divine artifact. Absorbing power from the outside world is a very normal thing for it to do.” Chen Feng was not worried in the slightest.
