Transmission Passage
Zhang Xingfeng felt dizzy for a moment but quickly regained his senses. The first thing he did was carefully observe his surroundings. Zhang Xingfeng concluded that this was a virtual space, a conclusion that shocked Zhang Xingfeng. If it wasn't a divine artifact that could create such a space, then it could only be the ability of a god.
"Hello, congratulations on gaining the ability to open teleportation channels!"
Zhang Xingfeng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him: It's Pangu! Zhang Xingfeng recognized him instantly. Obviously, the Pangu in front of him was just a scene left behind by Pangu, because Zhang Xingfeng could not feel any fluctuations. If it were Pangu's Divine Sense, then Pangu would be able to recognize Zhang Xingfeng.
In the very heart of Primordial Era primordial world lies the teleportation portal. To open it, one must reach the Heavenly Immortal stage; others only need to reach the Nascent Soul Realm. However, this very heart of the Primordial Era is the fifth region, Primordial Era by divine dragons. Don't worry, though; dragons in the Mortal World possess the highest cultivation, equivalent to Great Luo Golden Immortal. Once you reach the Heavenly Immortal stage, you can use Teleportation to directly enter the portal. Remember, do not fight them head-on!
Pangu's words brought Zhang Xingfeng a pleasant surprise. "My God, I was worried about how to bring Yu Yan and the others into the Cultivation World, but now there is such a teleportation channel. It's really exciting. There are even divine beast dragons in the fifth area?" Zhang Xingfeng began to have new ideas in his mind.
Pangu suddenly smiled, "Of course, there are some spoils of war from my battle with the Seven Fiends of the Demon Realm right there at the teleportation portal. This is a reward for the first person to pass through the portal. Reaching the Heavenly Immortal stage in the Mortal World is truly difficult, so these treasures are a small compensation. If you're not the first one to pass through, then you'll be disappointed... hehe..." Pangu chuckled.
"Spoils of war!" Zhang Xingfeng's heart skipped a beat. He had long suspected this. Back then, Pangu killed several of the Seven Fiends of the Demon Realm. According to Tianyu, only the eldest Heavy Profound Demon Emperor, and the seventh, Nitian Demon Emperor, escaped with serious injuries. Zhang Xingfeng knew that the eldest, Heavy Profound Demon Emperor, was already dead, but the identity of the seventh, Nitian Demon Emperor, was unknown. He figured that even if the seventh was alive, he was probably severely weakened.
Since the Seven Demon Emperors suffered such a crushing defeat, what happened to their divine weapons? What about the Azure Bracelet? Zhang Xingfeng searched the heavens but only found the Divine Fire Crystal Core; there wasn't a single other divine artifact or Azure Bracelet! Zhang Xingfeng didn't believe that Pangu had just carelessly discarded these treasures; he must have placed them somewhere. Now it seemed that Pangu had treated these treasures as rewards.
"Just a reminder, the Cultivation World and the realms of immortals and demons aren't as wonderful as you imagine. They're extremely chaotic. If you want to survive, you need to have your own strength. Let me remind you, there are a few minerals in the Mortal World that are quite precious in the immortal and demon realms. If you bring more of them, your cultivation will be much easier later! Hehe, as for what kind of minerals they are, I won't say, otherwise these minerals will soon become extinct! Hehe... That's all I have to say!" Pangu's image suddenly disappeared. Zhang Xingfeng felt dizzy again. When he regained consciousness, he was back in the primordial Primordial Era. Remembering Pangu's last words, Zhang Xingfeng couldn't help but sigh, "Master Pangu really is... a good person! How could I not know about the Cultivation World and the realms of immortals and demons? I also know which minerals and materials are precious in the Mortal World. Hehe, since Master doesn't want these minerals to disappear quickly, then I can't go against Master's wishes!!"
Pangu could not have known that it was because of this sentence that Zhang Xingfeng did not allow the people of the Tianxin Sect to completely mine the Mysterious Sky Stone and the Jianyu Stone, but only mined half of them.
"Teleportation channel, Tianxin Sect!" Zhang Xingfeng felt a surge of excitement. In truth, Zhang Xingfeng's feelings for the Tianxin Sect in the Cultivation World were extremely deep, far exceeding those for the Tianxin Sect in the Mortal World. You must know that Zhang Xingfeng had been in the Tianxin Sect in the Cultivation World for over three thousand years, and back then, he did countless things to make the Tianxin Sect's power even greater! However, the Cultivation World obviously had far more experts than the Mortal World, and even though Zhang Xingfeng had tried his best back then, he hadn't made much progress.
"I'm going back!" Zhang Xingfeng was completely overwhelmed by the emotions of a wanderer returning home.
On Fangyan Mountain, countless lush trees and forests flourished, and the Tianxin Sect's mountain gate lay within. Behind the gate, at the foot of Broken Heart Cliff, beside the lake, stood a bamboo house— Zhang Xingfeng's former residence. It was as if, in an instant, Zhang Xingfeng had returned to the bamboo house, fishing by the lake...
Zhang Xingfeng shook his head violently and said, "I never thought that even after two lifetimes of cultivation, I, Zhang Xingfeng, would still be so unable to see through this. Heh..." Zhang Xingfeng chuckled self-deprecatingly as he rode the Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion Abode towards the Three Islands of Tian Xin.
On the main peak of the Tian Xin Three Islands, in the Tianxin Sect, Zhang Xingfeng had already gathered the 77th generation disciples and several 78th generation disciples.
"All the disciples of my Tianxin Sect present here are equipped with Top-grade Immortal Artifact, and the disciples below the mountain are equipped with Low-grade Immortal Artifact. A few who have performed well have also been equipped with Mid-grade Immortal Artifact. I believe there will be no problem with them in terms of Tribulation Transcendence and other matters in the future. As for the foundation of my Tianxin Sect, which is the other two islands of the Tian Xin Three Islands, there are now tens of millions of people cultivating the Taiji Yin Yang Art. With development, the number will continue to increase. The future of the Tianxin Sect is already promising! Of course, those guys on the Azure Dragon Continent are no match for us. Even if there are more than ten thousand 79th generation disciples, we can completely sweep across the Azure Dragon Continent! Therefore, the Tianxin Sect is already at the absolute peak in the Mortal World! No force or individual dares to provoke us!" Zhang Yu spoke clearly and confidently, full of vigor.
Zhang Xingfeng nodded in agreement. This was perfectly normal. If he couldn't even handle things in the Mortal World, how could Zhang Xingfeng possibly face anyone?
"Ling Qi, how are the Aristocratic Clan now?" Zhang Xingfeng looked at his son. Zhang Xingfeng and Zhang Lingqi both looked to be in their twenties, yet their relationship was that of father and son. To most people, this was indeed rather strange, but among cultivators, it was quite normal. A young man could easily be several thousand years old, and in the Immortal Realm, someone could be hundreds of thousands or even millions of years old. In cultivation, time has no bearing on age; it is no longer a basis for comparing status. In the Cultivation World, everything depends on strength.
When Zhang Lingqi heard his father ask the question, he replied, "Father, everything is going well for the Aristocratic Clan now. We have a complete monopoly in the gambling, salt, jade, and fur industries, and no one can shake our position."
Zhang Xingfeng nodded, smiling with satisfaction. Suddenly Zhang Xingfeng sighed and said, "You dozens of you are the elite of my Tianxin Sect. You will all become elders in the future. Let me tell you, the Tianxin Sect's influence isn't limited to this place. It extends throughout the Cultivation World as well. So everyone must work hard. My time in the Mortal World is running out. Now I'll make some arrangements! Uncle Zhang's cultivation level is second only to Zhang Xingfeng's; he's already nearing the Integrated Body Late Stage Realm, and only a dozen years or so away from Tribulation Transcendence."
Uncle Zhang gave Zhang Xingfeng a wry smile, and Zhang Xingfeng said, "I feel at ease with Uncle Zhang here. Zhang Yu, Li Da, Li Er, and Chiyou You, you fellow disciples must work hard. Once you reach the Body Integration Realm, you will also become elders of our sect."
Seeing Lang Feng's appearance, Zhang Xingfeng smiled, clearly unaware of Lang Feng's situation. "Big brother, you and your sister-in-law are coming with me to the Cultivation World!" A smile appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face.
"Master, could you take me there?" Li Er looked at Zhang Xingfeng, seemingly very shy!
Seeing his appearance, Zhang Xingfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "You just don't take cultivation seriously! Alright, let me tell you, every time you want to go to the Cultivation World, someone must reach the Heavenly Immortal stage to open the teleportation channel. If Uncle Zhang reaches the Heavenly Immortal stage, it will probably be less than a hundred years. If you can successfully Tribulation Transcendence, then go with Uncle Zhang!"
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly stared at everyone around him and said, "Remember, all of you must undergo your Tribulation Transcendence here. You are absolutely not allowed to go to the Cultivation World without Tribulation Transcendence!" Zhang Xingfeng was thinking of a passage in the Heart Sutra at this moment, which is why he said this.
Lang Feng looked at Zhang Xingfeng strangely, Lang Feng wondering why he was leaving before successfully Tribulation Transcendence.
Zhang Xingfeng was troubled by Lang Feng's Human-Weapon Dual Cultivation. He dared not leave Lang Feng alone here. He knew that when Tribulation Transcendence, one needed to rely on a celestial weapon. Lang Feng was not like Zhang Xingfeng, who had formidable strength. But most importantly, a cultivator who Human-Weapon Dual Cultivation could only possess one Law Artifact, namely the one used for Human-Weapon Dual Cultivation!
This is also why Zhang Xingfeng wanted to take Lang Feng with him. Zhang Xingfeng believed that as long as he had Heavy Profound Chisel protect Lang Feng's life would be fine. Although it wasn't the complete set of Heavy Profound Chisel, it was still two low-grade divine artifacts, which would easily withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. Of course, the prerequisite was that Zhang Xingfeng's strength would break through to the Heavenly Immortal stage.
In fact, Zhang Xingfeng's attack power had already reached the Heavenly Immortal stage. It was precisely because the power of Zhang Xingfeng's Void Empty Hundred Split move was so great that it exceeded the strength of the Heavenly Immortal stage that Pangu summoned him.
Seeing Zhang Xingfeng's expression, Lang Feng knew that his second brother must be thinking of him. He didn't say anything, and even if he asked, he would wait until after the meeting to ask!
Zhang Xingfeng looked at his disciples below and said coldly, "Listen carefully, every disciple must Tribulation Transcendence here. Only by Tribulation Transcendence can you leave, and when you leave, at least one of you must reach the Heavenly Immortal stage. Everyone must cultivate diligently!" At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng's gaze had already fallen on the few disciples he had taken in when he was young.
Of the six people— Zhang Yu, Li Da, Li Er, Chiyou, Chiyi, Chitong — Zhang Xingfeng felt much deeper affection for them.
The eyes of Zhang Yu and the others were also extremely firm. They knew that if they followed their master's strength, they would only be a burden to him.
Zhang Xingfeng looked into their eyes and knew what his disciples were thinking. He felt a little emotional. He remembered when he was a little kid, his disciples were already following him. Now he had already reached the Great Accomplishment stage.
Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said, "Everyone, you can leave now and focus on your cultivation. Don't worry, I still have a few years left in the Mortal World. Ling Qi and Brother Lang Feng, you two stay here!"
Following Zhang Xingfeng's command, the disciples left one by one, and Lang Feng and Ling Qi walked to Zhang Xingfeng's side.
"Ling Qi, the Azure Bracelet I gave you contains a great many immortal artifacts. I believe that so many immortal artifacts will be enough no matter when. Do you know why I didn't let the disciples of the Tianxin Sect use magic Law Artifact but instead used immortal artifacts?"
Zhang Lingqi said confidently, "Of course, it's to make the Tianxin Sect even stronger!"
Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and said, "No, it's for their Tribulation Transcendence. Tell me, with the strength of my Tianxin Sect, even if we Law Artifact, is there any force on the Azure Dragon Continent that can shake the foundation of my Tianxin Sect? Even if all the forces were combined, it wouldn't be enough!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Qi nodded repeatedly. Zhang Xingfeng continued, "Only by letting them come into contact with the immortal artifacts early on can they unleash the full power of the artifacts during their Tribulation Transcendence, thus increasing Tribulation Transcendence chances of success!"
Ling Qi nodded. He had an inexplicable admiration for Zhang Xingfeng. From the moment he was born, Zhang Xingfeng had already reached the pinnacle. He knew of Zhang Xingfeng 'Zhang Xingfeng legend and his status. Children usually admire their fathers, especially since Zhang Xingfeng was such a charismatic father. It was quite normal for Ling Qi to admire his father so much.
"Ling Qi, now you manage the Tianxin Sect and the Aristocratic Clan entirely. I have no worries about your level of skill and strength. However, you have one flaw: pride. Perhaps pride is normal, and you are proud right now, but I don't want it to become unbridled arrogance. You must know that cultivation places high demands on one's character!"
Ling Qi nodded in agreement. It was normal to be arrogant. Zhang Xingfeng had used countless spirit medicine on him, and his cultivation speed was definitely close to Zhang Xingfeng's. In addition, his status was so high that even the emperor would not dare to offend him. It would be strange if he were not arrogant.
Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said, "Ling Qi, now I will pass on a set of Cultivation Method to you. This is something that only the future sect leader of the Tianxin Sect can cultivate. Remember, only the sect leader can cultivate it!"
Seeing his father's expression, Ling Qi immediately nodded. Zhang Xingfeng continued, "This Cultivation Method is called 'The Immortal Forging Art,' and it's also a method for cultivating immortal artifacts!"
