Everlasting Chapter 993 High

What happened next shocked them so much that they lost the courage to move. When there was still a distance of one zhang between their attacks and Chen Feng, the attacks stopped. The attacks – from one Ascendant Immortal and eight Earthen Immortals – could not advance any further. Chen Feng, on the other hand, ignored them as he focused on inspecting the items inside the jade pillars. 

Bang!

Chen Feng walked forward to stand before one of the jade pillars. Stretching a finger, he tapped the jade pillar and it burst apart. A gourd, carved from jade, fell into Chen Feng's grasp.

“Sacred-tier medicinal pills, not bad,” Chen Feng said in a hushed tone before moving to the other jade pillar.

Bang!

This time, a scripture fell into his grasp.

Tsk, tsk. It's a minor immortal technique. Not bad. This can be considered as a minor harvest.

Bang!

Another pillar burst apart. This time, it was a heavy lance.

A low-grade Immortal artifact. Its quality is only so-so, but it contains a thick killing intent. Chen Feng tapped it with his finger for a moment before keeping it.

There were still tens of pillars left within the vast palace hall, but Chen Feng was no longer interested in the rest. He turned and left. It was as though he hadn't noticed those cultivators at all.

Long after Chen Feng departed the palace, some more cultivators entered. Only then did the nine cultivators recollect themselves. Looking at one another, they then began fighting one another once again.

Two hours later, Chen Feng made his way into a pocket dimension. Chen Feng had originally wanted to level some complaints at Tower. But after entering the pocket dimension, he forced his complaints down.

“How about it? I told you my senses are not too shabby,” Tower said smugly.

“Not shabby, not shabby at all.” Chen Feng nodded and his divine sense swept forward. Laid out before him were tracts of herbal fields. They were all in an orderly state, as though someone had been constantly taking good care of them all. 

“Come on out!” Chen Feng shouted. He did not immediately take action to collect the spiritual herbs there.

His earlier scan had informed him that there were ten million herbs that were over 100,000 years old there. The more ordinary herbs were practically countless. That said, Chen Feng was only slightly excited and he quickly recollected himself. While the number of spiritual herbs there was quite high, it was incomparable to the herbal fields inside the Longevity Tower. Chen Feng was someone with a fair bit of experience, after all. Thus, he was able to maintain his cool. 

After Chen Feng shouted, ten or so spirit creatures emerged from the herbal fields. Chen Feng knew that they were the spiritual herbs that had gained wisdom. To Chen Feng's surprise, several of them had already cultivated up to the Yao Immortal (Earthen) stage.

The spirit creatures seemingly knew how powerful Chen Feng was and they displayed a show of respect as they stood before Chen Feng.

“I want to give you fellows a better place,” Chen Feng said bluntly. At the same time, he strengthened the divine sense that he was spreading outwards.

“Great immortal, we have no issues with that. However, we do not have the final say here,” one of them, the spirit of a Snow Ginseng, said in a troubled manner.

“Is that so? In that case, tell your boss to come out!” Chen Feng's voice became like thunder, reverberating across the s.p.a.ce there. The spiritual herbs that had gained wisdom and cultivated out spiritual bodies were so terrified that they immediately ran back into their real bodies.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Silently, a ma.s.s of vines drilled their way out from the ground, bursting outwards all of a sudden to wrap around Chen Feng.

Chen Feng swiftly stamped and the ground quaked. Instantly, the soil became a hundred times firmer. His hand also swiftly grasped to catch all the vines there. Then, with a sudden pull, he caused the ground to crack apart and something the size of a small mountain was pulled out. This spirit's body was covered in countless vines. After emerging, it swung its vines about as it prepared to attack Chen Feng.

“Are you still not going to stop?”

Chen Feng shouted, utilizing a secret soul technique – the Soul Subduing Mantra – against it. As expected, the vine spirit immediately fell still and a hint of fear appeared within its eyes.

Chen Feng then sent a Great Longevity Palm forward to grab the vine spirit and bring it closer.

“Mercy!”

The ma.s.sive vine spirit promptly begged for mercy. Seeing that left Chen Feng at a loss at whether to laugh or cry.

So, it's a Vermillion Vine Spirit. It must have been cultivating for at least a million years. Unexpectedly, it managed to reach the Ascendant Immortal stage. A pity, it has no good cultivation techniques. Chen Feng then jabbed forward with a finger and a stream of longevity-type primary energy flowed into the vine spirit's body. Sensing the longevity-type primary energy, the ma.s.sive vine spirit became so excited that it nearly went down on all fours.

I need to be quick. There will be troubles if others come in. Chen Feng then brought out the Longevity Tower to outright move the entire s.p.a.ce inside. 

I managed to obtain some gains this time. However, if all the treasure h.o.a.rds are only at this level, so many experts would not have come to Eternal World. For even True Immortals to come, there must be some top-grade treasures. Chen Feng pondered as he quickly flew through the sky again, covering a distance of hundreds of thousands of li in the blink of an eye.

As Chen Feng was flying forward, a scarlet-red sword energy rose up into the sky, catching Chen Feng's attention. The sword energy had come from beneath the ground and it kept charging upwards, going all the way into outer s.p.a.ce. Some of the asteroids floating in s.p.a.ce there were immediately sliced into pieces. Even though there was a distance of five million kilometres between him and the sword energy, Chen Feng could still feel a bone-biting chill. If felt as though the stinging sensation of pain was a.s.sailing even his cheeks.

Immortal sword! Mid-grade, or is it high-grade? The Longevity Wings on Chen Feng's back flapped rapidly as he flew even faster.

“It should be a high-grade immortal sword. This is a good item. It contains an unyielding sword intent. There is also the hint of an ageless atmosphere coming from it. If you can fuse it with your Longevity Sword, it will save you millions of years' worth of time,” Tower slowly said.

“I know. But this is a high-grade Immortal artifact. Who knows how many experts would be lured over?” 

After arriving, Chen Feng found that he was the first to arrive. Of course, he did not put those at the Earthen Immortal and Human Immortal stage into the equation. When there was still a distance of 5,000 kilometres between those cultivators and the immortal sword, they had to stop, incapable of approaching any further.

Chen Feng watched as an Earthen Immortal refused to give in and forced himself to continue charging forward. As a result, the sword energy there shredded him into fine bits.

It is giving off a formidable killing energy. And yet, there is also an air of righteousness within it. An upright sword intent stained by blood. What is the origin of this sword? Step by step, Chen Feng advanced, ignoring the streams of sword energy filling the air and the sword intent a.s.sailing his soul.

“Little brother, hurry up and retreat! This is not a treasure that the likes of us can obtain!” An old cultivator called out to Chen Feng out of goodwill. Even though he was a high-level Earthen Immortal, he was still incapable of approaching the immortal sword. One more step and the pressure exerted by the sword intent would throw his sea of wisdom into chaos.

“Thank you, senior. But I want to take a closer look at it.” Smiling, Chen Feng clasped his hands to salute the old cultivator.

As he was the first to arrive, Chen Feng knew that this was the time to take action. By quickly collecting the immortal sword, this whole thing could be quickly concluded. However, should the other Ascendant Immortals arrive as well, a ferocious battle would surely erupt. This was a high-grade Immortal artifact. Even True Immortals would take action for it. 

Chen Feng kept moving forward at increasing pace. Instantly, the skyful of sword energy enveloped him and only a blurry figure could be seen in the end. The old cultivator and the others there became dumbfounded.

“Is he actually an Ascendant Immortal?”

“To think that there is such a formidable youngster.”

“I'll try to venture forward again. Even if I cannot obtain the immortal sword, cultivating within this place filled with sword energy and sword intent can still allow my cultivation base to skyrocket.”

“That's right! For sword cultivators, this place is a very good place of cultivation.”

A youngster strode forward. It did not take long before he hit his limit, but the armour he wore shone with light to block the surrounding sword energy and he continued advancing.

“An Immortal-tier armour. He has quite the background.”

Someone exclaimed. However, the youngster was unable to make it far before stopping. A high number of cracks had appeared on his armour. Anymore and his armour would likely break apart.

Without the armour, he would meet certain death amidst the streams of sword energy. Considering that, the youngster felt cold sweat breaking out all over his body and he quickly retreated.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, was moving faster and faster. The streams of sword energy that could kill even Ascendant Immortals struck Chen Feng's body to create sparks of brilliant light. It looked as though an unending stream of meteors was colliding against him.

When there were only 50 kilometres between him and the immortal sword, Chen Feng found that he could no longer defend against the might of the immortal sword. With a thought, he entered the Longevity Tower. Next, the Longevity Tower jumped to arrive atop the immortal sword.

The Longevity Tower had devoured a high-grade Immortal artifact before. Add the fact that it possessed the body of a Divine artifact, this immortal sword – no matter how powerful it may be – was incapable of stopping the Longevity Tower.

“Good! Tower, hurry up and collect it!” Chen Feng smiled. It will be done once they bring the sword into the Longevity Tower.

However, it was not as simple as that. Just as the Longevity Tower was about to take action, some other cultivators took action. Two mid-level Ascendant Immortals appeared, one from the left and one from the right. They appeared before the sword and stretched their hands out to grab it.

“Hurry!” Chen Feng shouted.

“No rush.” Unlike Chen Feng, Tower responded calmly.

Weng!

The actions of the two Ascendant Immortals triggered a counter attack from the sword and two tangible beams of sword energy shot out, sending the two Ascendant Immortals flying. One of them was nearly cleaved into two.

“That guy is a cultivator from the Lightning Plane. As for the other one, I do not know. Looks like Eternal World still has a lot of hidden characters. These fellows will only take action during critical moments,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“This is a high-grade Immortal artifact that has emerged after a long time. It has acc.u.mulated a great deal of malevolent energy. Collecting it will not be easy. Let's wait for a while longer and let others check it out.” Next, the Longevity Tower silently hid itself within the streams of sword energy, leaving not a single trace of its existence behind.

“Why go through all the trouble? Just take it,” Chen Feng mumbled. He was fearful that some unexpected variables might pop up if they waited too long.

“What do you know, kid? Collecting this sword will definitely exhaust some of my strength. There are other good items around. What happens if we fail to get any more?”

“Fine, fine! I'll listen to you. This sword is not that attractive to me. If you like it, you can just devour it to restore your strength.”

“Forget it. This is an intact Immortal artifact, after all. We should keep it.”

Sou! Sou!

Two more cultivators appeared. The two of them were sword cultivators at the Ascendant Immortal stage. Like a sword, one of them broke through the surrounding streams of sword energy to arrive before the sword. The other cultivator, though, seemingly melded with the sword energy.

“Star wanderers!” Chen Feng was somewhat shocked. Judging by the auras coming from their bodies, Chen Feng was able to instantly determine their origins.

“These two fellows are stronger than the previous two. I wonder, will they fight each other first?”
