Ning Chen then recounted in detail what had happened in the Yue Kingdom.

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xue Yangzi frowned slightly.

"Chen Beijing?"

Xueyangzi searched his memories.

But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any information about this person.

"Yes, this person's name is Chen Feng, but now everyone calls him Chen Beijing because he suppressed Yue Qianshan, hence the nickname."

Ning Chen cupped his hands in greeting as he spoke.

Xueyangzi smiled coldly:

"Destroy an entire mountain range? This Yue Qianshan guy really knows how to save face."

Xueyangzi, of course, did not believe such rumors.

Even with the aid of magical Law Artifact, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage could not destroy a mountain range.

This was clearly Yue Qianshan's excuse for his defeat.

"I'm going to the Yue Kingdom to investigate Chen Feng. You go and organize the army," Xue Yangzi instructed Ning Chen.

"Ancestor, are you going to fight Chen Beijing?" Ning Chen's expression changed.

Battles between cultivators can be life-or-death struggles.

Once a cultivator perishes, the country where the cultivator lived will also be annexed.

Ning Chen did not want Xue Yangzi to take any risks.

Xueyangzi spoke up:

"My Azure Nether Sword should be in this man's hands; he has already made an enemy of me!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Chen dared not offer any further advice, but instead bowed deeply. "I will obey the Ancestor's command!"

Xue Yangzi naturally wouldn't directly cause trouble for Chen Feng.

He would definitely need to investigate an unknown cultivator first.

Furthermore, the fact that the opponent was able to defeat Yue Qianshan proves that the opponent is likely a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

A few days later, the royal family of the Yue Kingdom.

Yue Qianshan, who was in seclusion, seemed to sense something and immediately opened his eyes.

He stepped out of his cave abode.

Not far from his cave abode dwelling, Xue Yangzi was standing there.

Upon seeing Xue Yangzi, Yue Qianshan's expression turned rather unpleasant.

"Fellow Daoist seems to have forgotten the rules. Your audacity in infiltrating the capital of my Yue Kingdom —do you perhaps intend to challenge me to a battle...?"

But Yue Qianshan had barely finished speaking when he exclaimed in surprise:

You've broken through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining!

Yue Qianshan had already sensed the aura emanating from Xue Yangzi.

Xueyangzi smiled slightly:

"By sheer luck and favor of the Great Dao, I have made further progress."

Seeing the smile on Xue Yangzi's face, Yue Qianshan felt a pang of unease.

The original Xueyangzi was a cultivator at the same level as him.

The two of them have been stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining for fifteen years.

Seeing Xue Yangzi break through, Yue Qianshan was naturally very jealous.

He left the Yue Kingdom last time in search of fortuitous opportunity for a breakthrough.

The most difficult part of Qi Refining from the eighth to the ninth level of Qi Refining is resolving resentment.

Without special spiritual objects to help resolve the issue, it is very easy to perish during the advancement process.

However, Xue Yangzi's path of cultivation is different from others.

Each time Xue Yangzi absorbed the Spiritual Qi of blood food, he would give himself psychological comfort.

This comfort comes from the belief that absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the blood food is to help those being refined transcend, thus putting one's mind at ease.

Yue Qianshan always felt that this method was nothing but self-deception.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yangzi actually withstood the test of resentment and broke through.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist. But even if you have broken through to a higher realm, is it really necessary to come to me alone to discuss this?"

Yue Qianshan was still somewhat dissatisfied.

This is within the territory of his Yue Kingdom.

If other cultivators were to intrude, it would constitute an invasion.

If he hadn't known Xueyangzi for so many years, he would have already taken action.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, please don't be offended. I've come here for Chen Feng." Xue Yangzi stated his purpose.

Hearing this, Yue Qianshan was not surprised.

Ningguo is very close to the Yue Kingdom, so news of his battle with Chen Feng will definitely reach Ningguo.

What does fellow Daoist wish to know?

"Did you really lose to Chen Feng? What is his cultivation level? Why did he come to the northern border of your Yue Kingdom?"

Xueyangzi asked three questions in succession.

Yue Qianshan replied:

"He was Qi Refining the sixth level of Qi Refining. I didn't lose to him back then, but I just didn't want to engage in a life-or-death battle."

"As for why he appeared in my Yue Kingdom, I guess he must come from a great power in the center of Yingzhou."

Upon hearing that he was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Xue Yangzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator poses no threat to someone at Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.

Xueyangzi asked again:

"Why do you believe this person comes from a great nation, Fellow Daoist Yue?"

This news greatly surprised Xueyangzi.

The great powers are located in the center of Yingzhou, and each of them has a large number of cultivators.

Their area is only in the northern part of Yingzhou, and is very far from the center of Yingzhou.

There are six kingdoms in the north of Yingzhou: Yue, Ning, Qian, Zhao, Sun, and Xue.

Of these six states, only the Zhao state possessed two cultivators.

Each of the other countries has only one cultivator.

The six northern kingdoms were in a semi-alliance relationship.

They regularly engage in blood-food trade every year to support the cultivation of immortals in their country.

Yue Qianshan said unhurriedly:

"I wonder if you have heard of the special weapon-forging method of the Xingfeng Sect? This item is not something that our six northern kingdoms can possess; it can only come from the great central power."

"Chen Feng also relied on that special item to fight me."

Yue Qianshan did not tell Xue Yangzi the truth.

Actually, he wanted Xueyangzi to test Chen Feng.

Ideally, both sides should fight to the death.

In this way, he can reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Upon hearing this, Xueyangzi fell into deep thought.

He naturally knew about the Xingfeng Sect's special hidden weapons, so he immediately sent Lei Potian over.

But Lei Potian not only failed to destroy the Xingfeng Sect, he also lost his Qingyou Sword.

Xueyangzi then said:

"Since that's the case, why don't you join forces with me to kill Chen Feng and divide the treasures on his body equally?"

Yue Qianshan immediately waved his hand:

"I've been in seclusion recently and can't make a move, and besides, my feud with Chen Feng has been resolved."

Xue Yangzi gave Yue Qianshan a deep look.

"Alright, then I won't disturb you any longer, fellow cultivator."

After finishing his sentence, Xueyangzi turned and left.

Yue Qianshan watched Xue Yangzi's departing figure in silence.

At this moment, Yue Yao walked out from the other side.

"Ancestor!"

Yue Qianshan glanced at Yue Yao: "What do you think of this matter?"

Yue Yao thought for a moment and then said:

"Ancestor, Senior Xueyangzi shouldn't be causing trouble for Chen Feng. He clearly doesn't believe you."

From their conversation just now, Yue Yao felt that Xue Yangzi didn't believe her ancestor's words at all.

That's why I made this judgment.

Yue Qianshan sneered:

"He knows I'm lying, but he'll still go after Chen Feng."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yao was somewhat surprised. "Why is that?"

"You don't understand him. This Xueyangzi is naturally arrogant. Although he appears to be a benevolent savior, he is actually more ruthless than your ancestor."

"Just wait and see, the show won't be long before it gets interesting!"

Yue Qianshan knew Xue Yangzi quite well.

From the moment Xue Yangzi came to him to inquire about Chen Feng, he understood that Xue Yangzi was already preparing to cause trouble for Chen Feng.

Regardless of whether the information he provided is true or false, Xueyangzi will take action.

Moreover, they may very well join forces with cultivators from other countries to take action.

The most important reason for this is that Chen Feng is a cultivator with no known origin.

Absorb the Spiritual Qi of a cultivator.

It yields far more Spiritual Qi than the blood and food obtained from slaughtering several cities.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi within a cultivator's Spirit Aperture contains very little resentment, making it extremely tempting to other cultivators.

Furthermore, the Xingfeng Sect only has a few thousand martial artists, so Ning Kingdom could easily destroy them by sending a large army.

Even the most powerful cultivators are powerless against an army of hundreds of thousands.

"Then, Ancestor, what should we do?" Yue Yao asked.

Yue Qianshan smiled and said, "Of course we'll just watch the show; we won't get involved on either side."

Yue Qianshan naturally wouldn't get involved, as he knew that Chen Feng was most likely from overseas and was an ancient Qi cultivator.

Killing Chen Feng will definitely not be easy.

"By the way, how's the Cultivation Method I had you practice last time?" Yue Qianshan suddenly looked at Yue Yao with a serious expression.

Yue Yao's face immediately turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "I'm already cultivating."

"Yes, that's Cultivation Method I obtained from a secret place. You should practice it diligently; it will greatly benefit you."

After saying that, Yue Qianshan returned to his cave abode.

Yue Yao looked at Yue Qianshan's cave abode, a look of sorrow on her face.

In the secret room.

Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes; his body was enveloped in a vast expanse of Spiritual Qi.

"Seventh level of Qi Refining!"

After a month of cultivation, Chen Feng finally broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

He had almost completely exhausted the spiritual elixir.

Although some was left, this spiritual liquid was far from enough for him to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining.

During this month, Chen Feng not only improved his cultivation level, but also practiced sword control techniques.

However, he practiced his sword control techniques in the modern world.

He cannot cultivate sword control techniques in the Painting Scroll World.

The main reason is that he cannot erase Xue Yangzi's spiritual consciousness within the Qingyou Sword.

His advantage lies in his physical body, while his spiritual awareness is no different from that of other cultivators.

Chen Feng then walked towards the teleportation portal and returned to the modern world.

He wanted to see if there were any changes to the painting.

Each time Chen Feng broke through his cultivation level, he would check the painting to see if it had changed.

The last time the painting changed was when he first entered the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

He has finally reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is considered the late stage of Qi Refining.

He was looking forward to the painting changing.

Inside the warehouse of Xingfeng Mining in the modern world.

Chen Feng appeared here.

He immediately turned his gaze to the painting in front of him.

Upon seeing the contents of the scroll, Chen Feng was immediately taken aback.

The original content of the scroll depicted the scenery of Hengduan Mountain and Liuyang Town.

The scenery depicted in the painting has now changed.

The scroll depicts numerous mountain ranges of varying sizes, clearly representing the terrain of the northern border of the Yue Kingdom.

Moreover, Chen Feng also discovered that the scroll had undergone special changes.

That is, the original scroll painting was always in the style of ink wash painting.

At this moment, the Hengduan Mountain region in the painting came into color.

The entire Hengduan Mountain were ablaze with a variety of colors.

With these splashes of color, the Hengduan Mountain seem to come alive.

"This"

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised, and he began to scan the scroll with his spiritual sense.

In an instant!

After Chen Feng discovered that this area of color had been touched by his spiritual sense, a three-dimensional image of the Hengduan Mountain had formed in his mind.

The three-dimensional image was as if it were engraved on his spirit.

Within the Painting Scroll World, in the Hengduan Mountain, amidst a dense forest.

A ripple like water appeared, and Chen Feng stepped out of the teleportation channel.

Looking around at everything, Chen Feng's face lit up with joy.

"I see!"

He has figured out the function of the three-dimensional images in his mind.

He only needs to sense the image of the Hengduan Mountain in his mind to enter any location in the Hengduan Mountain through the scroll.

Furthermore, Chen Feng can open a teleportation channel at any location in the Hengduan Mountain to return directly to the modern world.

This is equivalent to him having the ability to teleport within a certain area.

This change undoubtedly increased his means of survival.

In the past, if they encountered a powerful enemy...

Chen Feng's only option was to return to the abandoned mine and then use the fixed teleportation channel there to return to the modern world.

Now, he no longer needs to go to the abandoned mine.

As long as he remains within the Hengduan Mountain, he can create a passage back to the modern world.

The only problem is that the modern world can still only be accessed through scrolls.

This change in the painting made him understand completely.

The change in the painting was due to his improved spiritual level.

As long as his cultivation level improves in the future, the range of color coverage will become even larger.

Chen Feng then took out his phone to check the time.

His pupils contracted slightly when he saw the time.

Because time has passed, things have changed.

In today's modern world, one day is equivalent to seven days in the Painting Scroll World.

The original five-fold time difference has become seven-fold.

This change has both advantages and disadvantages for Chen Feng.

The advantage is that he has enough time to cultivate, and the transportation of various supplies will also be faster.

The downside is that as one's cultivation level increases, the rate at which time passes will likely increase significantly.

He was a cultivator, but Wang Hu and the others from the Xingfeng Sect were all mortals.

"Let's take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work out, we'll have Lin Wei look into it."

Chen Feng wasn't thinking about that question.

Just as he was about to leave, several people quickly approached Chen Feng.

"We greet the Sect Master!"

The newcomers were none other than Mo Chen and Mo Yuandao.

The two were patrolling this area when they unexpectedly encountered Chen Feng here.

Chen Feng was taken aback. "Who are you?"

Chen Feng didn't really know many people from the Xingfeng Sect; he was either cultivating or busy in the modern world.

Aside from core members of the inner sect like Liu Qian and Wang Hu, he hadn't actually met many people from the Xingfeng Sect.

"I am Mo Chen, the head of the Mo family. I witnessed the sect leader's extraordinary talent at the mountain gate before!"

Mo Chen was very nervous at this moment, as this was the first time he had met Chen Feng.

Although he had only caught a fleeting glimpse of Chen Feng last time, he still remembered his appearance.

Even though Chen Feng wasn't in Transcendent State, he still recognized the person in front of him as Chen Feng.

"Oh, it's you. I was just browsing around."

Chen Feng was naturally aware of the Mo family; they had become a vassal force of the Xingfeng Sect.

Upon hearing that Chen Feng was just here for a stroll, Mo Chen quickly said:

"Sect Master, this is territory under the jurisdiction of my Mo family. I can show you around."

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, "No need, you guys go ahead with your work, I'm going back."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he headed towards the direction of the Xingfeng Sect.

Mo Chen and Mo Yuandao both bowed respectfully to Chen Feng's departing figure.

"Respectfully seeing off the Sect Master!"

Until Chen Feng's figure completely disappeared.

Mo Chen and the other person straightened up.

"I didn't expect the sect leader to be so easygoing." Mo Yuandao smiled.

Mo Chen also said with a smile:

"I've heard Liu Qian talk about the sect leader's character; he is indeed quite easygoing, which is a good thing for our Mo family."

Who wouldn't want their leader to be an easygoing person? Mo Chen was no exception.
