Unwilling to Accept Defeat

Having figured that out, Lu Feng simply dragged out a chair and sat down.

"It's no big deal."

"You've already torn it down. We can't exactly put it back together for them, can we?"

Hearing Lu Feng say that, Golden Hoop Immortal and the others finally relaxed.

Since Senior Brother Lu had said so, Second Senior Brother surely wouldn't scold them again!

"As expected of Senior Brother!"

"We love you most, Senior Brother!"

Lu Feng brought each of them a chair before asking casually,

"You tore down their Jade Void Palace. Didn't you do anything else?"

At Lu Feng's question, Golden Hoop Immortal immediately pulled out his storage bag.

"Not only did we tear down the Jade Void Palace, we emptied their Treasure Vault too!"

Lu Feng nodded.

"Not bad. At least you knew to collect a little interest."

After all, when you were already buried in debt, a little more was nothing to worry about.

Nezha and the other three were sitting comfortably at Lu Feng's place.

Meanwhile, over in the East Sea, Duobao had finally found his own opportunity!

He had searched for so long, crossing almost half the Primordial World.

Now that he had finally encountered his own opportunity in the East Sea, Duobao was beside himself with excitement!

Looking at the scroll in his hands, Duobao couldn't resist opening it to the first page.

In an instant, a beam of golden light pierced his mind.

Endless laws and Daoist arts surged forth, constantly intertwining before him.

Faced with these laws and Daoist arts, all within easy reach, Duobao soon immersed himself in cultivation.

Only at the very end did the countless laws and Daoist arts merge into a single cultivation technique and engrave themselves in his mind.

Sage Dao!

The instant he softly uttered those words, Duobao's previously stagnant cultivation began climbing steadily.

The waves of the East Sea beat ceaselessly against the shore.

Yet Duobao remained motionless amid the raging waves, quietly awaiting his breakthrough.

When he opened his eyes again,

his cultivation had already broken through an entire major realm.

In one leap, he had become a Quasi-Sage!

Only now did Duobao truly understand.

He understood why Qiongxiao and the others had gained so much strength after receiving Senior Brother's opportunities.

Now that it was his turn,

he finally understood just how difficult it all was!

The opportunities Senior Brother gave them were effectively small secret realms.

Only by gaining enlightenment within those secret realms could they reap any benefits!

Otherwise, they would die!

Elsewhere,

Lu Feng also received feedback from Duobao.

[Congratulations, host! A disciple's comprehension has reached ninety-seven percent, setting a new record!]

[The host is rewarded with fifty years of cultivation and one law of the Immortal Dao!]

[As eight Interception Sect disciples have now gained enlightenment, you will receive a surprise gift package!]

[Would you like to open it?]

With a gift package waiting, Lu Feng naturally chose to open it without hesitation.

Soon, amid a burst of firework effects, Lu Feng finally received his new reward.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Great Dao-level artifact-refining skill!]

Lu Feng's eyebrows twitched.

Well, damn. The system opened with its ultimate move!

Artifact refining was much harder than pill refining.

At present, Duobao was the only fellow in the Interception Sect who could refine artifacts.

After all, his name spoke for itself.

Lu Feng hadn't expected the system to give him such a huge surprise.

Judging by the system's usual habits,

the one who had broken through this time was probably Duobao.

Looking at that degree of integration, he was only one final step away from reaching one hundred percent.

That made Lu Feng even more eager.

Now that he had a new skill, Lu Feng certainly had to try his hand at it.

His own meager stock of materials wouldn't be nearly enough!

So Lu Feng turned his gaze toward Golden Hoop Immortal and the others.

"You tore down an entire Jade Void Palace. Why not give it to me?"

Hearing that Lu Feng wanted the Jade Void Palace, Golden Hoop Immortal froze for a moment.

"Senior Brother, what do you want it for?"

"My hands have been itching lately. I'll refine a few weapons for you."

"Tell me what you have in mind for your weapons."

When they heard that Lu Feng would personally make weapons for them, Golden Hoop Immortal and the others were absolutely thrilled!

Just imagining themselves fighting those Chan Sect fellows with weapons made from their own palace felt almost too good to be true!

Perhaps it would even boost their attack speed!

"Senior Brother!"

"It's all in this bag!"

They handed their storage bag to Lu Feng.

Then Golden Hoop Immortal and the others left without wasting a moment.

Lu Feng had told them before that the Primordial World was vast and opportunities were plentiful.

Obtaining just one wasn't enough.

Besides, their comprehension of their own resources had not yet reached perfection, so they still needed to venture out and temper themselves.

With Lu Feng's encouragement, how could Golden Hoop Immortal and the others possibly sit still on Golden Ao Island?

One after another, they eagerly prepared to travel the Primordial World.

As Lu Feng watched Golden Hoop Immortal and the others leave,

he began calculating how to bring the number of disciples who had obtained opportunities up to ten.

With Duobao now included, he only needed two more to obtain the surprise gift package the system had mentioned.

He just didn't know whether that final package would be a pleasant surprise or a nasty shock.

Lu Feng glanced at the sky, silently put away the chairs, and went back to study his new skill.

Kunlun Mountain.

Looking at the barren stretch in the center, the Chan Sect disciples had been unable to stomach their meals for several days straight.

Especially after learning that the Interception Sect disciples had even plundered their Treasure Vault clean, they had lost their appetites entirely.

When Guangchengzi awoke, this colossal mess was what awaited him.

Not only had their Jade Void Palace been torn down, but the Jie Sect Disciples had each been injured, and the Treasure Vault was gone too!

On this outing, they had lost everything inside and out, their dignity and even the trousers off their backs!

Whenever he thought of his Heaven-Overturning Seal, Guangchengzi's heart bled!

Who could endure so many losses in succession?

Just then, someone knocked softly on the door.

"Senior Brother, the Vice Leader has awakened."

Hearing that Daoist Randeng had awakened, Guangchengzi immediately hurried to his cave abode.

Although he was awake, Daoist Randeng still looked terribly unwell.

The successive blows had truly left his heart knotted with anguish, and he didn't even know how to explain things to the sect leader.

Now, after carefully reviewing everything,

Daoist Randeng realized how deep the Interception Sect's schemes ran!

First, they had solemnly declared the Interception Sect dissolved, then lured them into taking the bait, encircling its disciples and seizing their resources.

Finally, they had drawn in a group of Interception Sect members, and amid their defeat, they had fallen into their formation.

At the same time, the Interception Sect had sent people to plunder Kunlun Mountain.

It had been a premeditated operation through and through!

And they hadn't been given even the slightest chance to react!

Daoist Randeng had fought Duobao and the others from the Interception Sect before.

He knew they couldn't have devised such a scheme.

Thinking along those lines, it had to have been the work of that Senior Brother of the Interception Sect.

That Lu Feng had never shown his face from beginning to end.

Yet he had managed to bring everything under his control. Clearly, he was no ordinary figure.

Given all that, Randeng could count this as his defeat.

But even now, Randeng remained deeply unwilling to accept it.
