Invitation from the Immortal Realm: Return

Zhang Xingfeng initially escaped using the Great Teleportation, but after some time he realized that the Black Sun Ancestor seemed to have disappeared, which he found very strange.

"Huh? Why didn't the Black Sun Ancestor chase after him? Just now, he seemed to still have power under the fourth move of my 'Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Drawing Art'?" Zhang Xingfeng seemed very puzzled. Could it be that the Black Sun Ancestor had taken pity on him and let Zhang Xingfeng go? Zhang Xingfeng knew that the possibility of this was zero.

"How come the power of that fourth move is so strong? What kind of energy is emanating from that mark? That energy is obviously much stronger than my Limitless Power. However, it is clear that the energy belongs to the mark, and I cannot absorb even a trace of it." Zhang Xingfeng was a little regretful, but then he smiled and said, "I was too greedy. I should be thanking my God for having such a powerful Method Formula."

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng closed his eyes and began to search with his Divine Sense.

After a long while, Zhang Xingfeng didn't move. Finally, a smile appeared on Zhang Xingfeng face, "Hmm, it's been so long since we've found any trace of the Black Sun Ancestor chasing us. It seems he really hasn't given up. Otherwise, he would have caught up long ago!"

Zhang Xingfeng finally confirmed that the Black Sun Ancestor was no longer pursuing them, so he immediately stopped using the Great Teleportation and instead piloted the Star Brilliance, quickly heading towards the Dead Zone with Yu Yan.

After lingering in the City of Heavenly Chasm, Zhang Xingfeng learned that Little Dragon had returned to the Tianxin Sect, and Tianchenzi had also taken Fairy Yuxian to the Tianxin Sect. The number of the Tianxin Sect disciples in the City of Heavenly Chasm had actually increased. It turned out that Little Dragon had sent many members of the Immortal Offering Group with A Jiao to assist Zhong Heng in handling matters in the City of Heavenly Chasm. Zhang Xingfeng immediately gave Zhong Heng a few instructions, left behind two hundred Top-grade Immortal Artifact he had casually crafted, and then went to the Tianxin Sect with Yu Yan.

Soon, Zhang Xingfeng and *** Yan finally arrived at Tianyan Star —their base camp.

The status of the Tianxin Sect has changed dramatically. Even the seven major sects treat it with great respect. The number of mortal planets from which the Tianxin Sect recruits disciples has also increased significantly. It is foreseeable what a prosperous state the Tianxin Sect will reach in a thousand years.

The return of Tianchenzi greatly excited many disciples of the Tianxin Sect. Sui Feng, who had already reached the Heavenly Immortal realm, dared not leave the sect's protective formation for even a moment.

He knew that once he left the sect's protective formation, his presence would be detected by the Immortal Realm, and he would be summoned there. Sui Feng sighed deeply, "If I had possessed Substitute Stone (Yuan Stone) during my Tribulation Transcendence, how could I have ended up in this predicament, confined to the sect's protective formation, unable to venture out even once!"

Since the arrival of the three Yan Bao brothers, their favorite thing to do has been to train the spirit beasts. Today, as usual, the three Yan Bao brothers were still training the poor spirit beasts on a sandy area of Fangyan Mountain.

"You idiots! You still can't learn how to absorb Spiritual Qi after all this time, damn it! If I had absorbed it here back then, I would have saved hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation to reach my current level. Be careful! Vortex, vortex! Still don't understand? Form a vortex within your bodies, create a huge suction force, absorb it frantically, vortex! The faster the better, vortex! Pangolin, damn it, what kind of vortex is that?! A vortex?! A vortex?!..." Yan Huo was finally defeated! These spirit beasts were still immature, and their method of absorbing Spiritual Qi was the most ordinary and natural one. They had no idea how to absorb Spiritual Qi the fastest.

Inside Fangyan Mountain, the Hu Zong Grand Array nearly tripled the Spiritual Qi within the Fangyan Mountain. Combined with the effects of the Spirit Gathering Formation, the internal Spiritual Qi was far more abundant than in the main area. Naturally, the cultivation speed of spirit beasts here was very fast. However, in the eyes of Yan Huo, who had already reached the Form Transformation Stage, it was simply too slow. The three Yan Bao brothers felt sorry for them; they could absorb energy nearly ten times faster, but these spirit beasts just couldn't learn! More importantly, within the Illusionary Heart Array, each spirit beast now had two hours of cultivation opportunities per day. It should be noted that the Illusionary Heart Array was now the sacred ground of the entire Tianxin Sect!

As soon as Little Dragon returned, following Zhang Xingfeng's instructions, he removed the original array base and rebuilt the Illusionary Heart Array using the dragon spirit's blood as the array base!

The Spiritual Qi of the spirit blood is incomparable to ordinary Spiritual Qi. It is the essence of the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool. In terms of efficacy, it is firstly pure, allowing direct absorption without the need for refining, and secondly, it is abundant, three to four times more abundant than the Spiritual Qi within Fangyan Mountain! One day of cultivation within it is equivalent to ten days of cultivation within Fangyan Mountain, or one month of cultivation outside! Such speed is bound to excite the disciples of the Tianxin Sect.

"Second brother, I can't take it anymore. These guys are too stupid. I can't teach them. You take over!" Yan Huo said helplessly to Yan Yu.

"Hahahaha... I didn't expect that you, Yan Huo, couldn't even handle something this simple!" Zhang Xingfeng laughed as he walked out from inside the sect's protective formation.

The three Yan Bao brothers were stunned when they heard the voice. After looking closely, they exclaimed with joy, "True Person, you're back!" Yan Huo immediately said, "That's great, True Person. I'll go tell Little Dragon and the others right away."

Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said, "Just gather Elder Little Dragon and the others. The other disciples can continue their cultivation as usual, understand? But it's okay if you don't go. Yu Yan has already gone to find Leyue, so I believe everyone knows I'm back."

Yan Huo nodded frantically and rushed outside.

Zhang Xingfeng glanced at Yan Yu, then at Yan Feng, and smiled, saying, "Not bad, not bad, you're both close to breaking through to the Form Transformation Stage. Hmm... Go and ask that Little Dragon for some dragon spirit blood. The spiritual Spiritual Qi in that blood is a treasure of the Blood Kill Gate, several levels higher and purer than demonic energy, which will greatly benefit your cultivation. By the way, it would be best if you went into seclusion for a while, so you can focus more and break through more easily. Hmm... When you go into seclusion, give me the three Yan Yang Thorn, and I'll help you refine Yan Yang Thorn again." Zhang Xingfeng said thoughtfully.

Yan Feng immediately said excitedly, "Thank you so much, True Person. With the help of the Dragon Spirit Blood, I believe that within ten years, the three of us brothers will definitely reach the Nascent Soul Realm (the Nascent Soul Realm of the Beast Race is equivalent to the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm)."

Zhang Xingfeng nodded, looked at the pitiful spirit beasts being trained, smiled, and said, "Were you just teaching these spirit beasts to absorb Spiritual Qi?"

Yan Yu nodded, then said dejectedly, "It's a waste that I think I'm so smart, but I just can't teach these unintelligent spirit beasts."

Zhang Xingfeng laughed and said, "You guys need to consider your opponents when doing things. It's normal for you to use schemes and tricks when dealing with cultivation experts, but when dealing with these mindless beastmen who haven't even reached the Form Transformation Stage, you don't need to go through all that trouble. Just be direct. There's no need to think so much."

Yan Feng and Yan Yu were both confused. "Be more direct?" Neither of them knew what Zhang Xingfeng meant.

"You guys!" Zhang Xingfeng shook his head, activated the Limitless Power, and immediately bound all the spirit beasts. The Limitless Power surged into the bodies of these spirit beasts, and Zhang Xingfeng used the Limitless Power to control the energy within these spirit beasts, causing the energy to form a vortex.

As Zhang Xingfeng demonstrated, he explained, "Just use your own power to force them into a vortex shape. Once these spirit beasts experience the benefits of absorbing Spiritual Qi quickly this way, they'll probably figure it out. Of course, if they truly lack any intelligence..." Zhang Xingfeng smiled and continued, "If they truly lack intelligence, they won't make any choices. In that case, I'll trouble you to continuously use your power to control their energy, forming a vortex shape, and keep doing it! Over time, it will naturally become a habit, and these undeveloped spirit beasts will naturally start forming their power into a vortex shape to absorb Spiritual Qi!"

Yan Feng and Yan Yu's eyes lit up. Yan Yu immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Brilliant! Yes, that's it! They won't do it, so we force them to do it this way. Over time, it will naturally become a habit! How come I didn't think of such a simple method? Sigh... I even went to the mortal planet to ask how mortals teach children. I used the methods for teaching children to teach spirit beasts, but who knew that these spirit beasts were even dumber than those newly-born children!"

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Zhang Xingfeng couldn't help but chuckle. He never expected that Yan Yu would learn how to teach children in order to teach spirit beasts; it was truly unexpected.

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng raised an eyebrow and instantly scanned the entire Fangyan Mountain with his Divine Sense. He then looked at Yan Yu and Yan Feng and said, "The elders have all arrived. Let's go to the main hall!" Immediately afterward, Zhang Xingfeng and Yan Yu went to the main hall together.

The main hall of the Tianxin Sect was bustling with noise because the Supreme Elder Zhang Xingfeng had returned.

"Sect Master Bi Yan, what do you think my second brother gained from his trip to the Demon Realm? Sigh... I wanted to go with him, but he wouldn't let me. I wonder what wonderful experiences he had in the Demon Realm. It's a pity I've never been there before!" Little Dragon sighed beside Bi Yan.

Bi Yan was very fond of Elder Long, her master's brother. Elder Long was highly skilled and now possessed a top-tier defensive artifact, which even Immortal Monarch couldn't handle. In addition, Elder Long had two offensive artifacts, making him an invincible master with super strong offense and defense.

Most importantly, Elder Long wasn't very cunning. He liked novel things and was pure of heart. Although Bi Yan was Little Dragon's junior apprentice, Bi Yan was clearly much more mature and composed than Little Dragon. He also cared about Elder Long a lot.

"Elder Long, our master has his reasons. Besides, our Tianxin Sect needs someone to be in charge. With you here, would the other seven major sects dare to come?" Bi Yan advised.

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon immediately raised his head and proudly said, "That's right! Don't you even look at what I'm wearing! Dark Gold Divine Armor, this is a top-level defensive artifact. The highest cultivation level in the Cultivation World is only the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal. I'm just standing there, and even if he attacks, he can't do anything about it!" Little Dragon seemed very arrogant, but what he said was true.

Bi Yan was also very happy. Now, the Tianxin Sect had the three Yan Bao brothers, all experts who were about to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, as well as Little Dragon, who, although at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, was comparable to an Immortal Monarch in strength. Moreover, Tianchenzi's power had also reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and with Zhang Xingfeng's two divine artifacts, one for defense and one for offense, they were confident that they could even face Nine Heavens Profound Immortal.

With such strength, what sect in the Cultivation World can compare? Most importantly, the Tianxin Sect possesses a protective formation, and within it resides the exceptionally skilled Zhang Xingfeng!

"Senior Uncle!" Elder Bi Tong greeted Zhang Xingfeng respectfully as he entered the main hall.

"Greetings, True Person Xingfeng." A representative from the Immortal Worship Group immediately greeted him respectfully.

At this moment, everyone in the hall noticed that Zhang Xingfeng had entered, and they all began to greet Zhang Xingfeng respectfully.

"Xingfeng, it's good to see you back. Your master has been waiting for you for so long!" Tianchenzi said with a smile.

Zhang Xingfeng chuckled inwardly. He had already learned from Yan Yu that as soon as Tianchenzi returned, the entire Tianxin Sect treated him like an ancestor. After all, Tianchenzi was of a very high seniority and was Zhang Xingfeng's master. The entire Tianxin Sect immediately hoped that Tianchenzi would temporarily take Zhang Xingfeng's place and handle some important matters! Although Bi Yan usually made the decisions, when it came to important sect matters, Tianchenzi still had to be invited to intervene.

Tianchenzi came back wanting to live a peaceful life with Fairy Yuxian, but now it seems that a peaceful life is impossible. Now that Zhang Xingfeng has returned, Tianchenzi naturally sees the dawn of liberation and smiles broadly.

After speaking with everyone, Zhang Xingfeng finally sat down in his seat.

Zhang Xingfeng looked at everyone and said, "This time, I was away for a long time. When I returned, I was delighted to see the current prosperity of the Tianxin Sect. Of course, as the sect leader, Bi Yan deserves much credit. Bi Yan, I see that you have successfully Tribulation Transcendence. I estimate that in a few years, the power within your body will have completely transformed into immortal essence. This is a mid-grade defensive artifact that I obtained, and I am now rewarding it to you!" Zhang Xingfeng took out one of the two suits of armor; Zhang Xingfeng had reserved the other one for Yu Yan.

Immediately, a buzzing sound filled the air – a divine artifact! How many people in the Cultivation World possess divine artifacts? You must know that even in the Immortal Realm, generally only experts at the Immortal Monarch level possess divine artifacts! And it's divine armor, you must know that defensive divine artifacts are generally more popular than offensive ones.

Bi Yan immediately walked to Zhang Xingfeng's side with delight and respectfully accepted the artifact.

"Thank you, Master!" Bi Yan said in a trembling voice. He already possessed two Top-grade Immortal Artifacts, which he thought was already quite good, but now his master had bestowed upon him a divine artifact. This couldn't help but excite him. At the same time, Bi Yan also felt that his master was truly unfathomable. Top-grade Immortal Artifact were given to him casually, and now he had a divine artifact as well.

Zhang Xingfeng looked at the people below, smiled, and then took out another mid-level divine weapon shaped like a knife!

The eyes of everyone below immediately lit up!
