Seven Years
Earth, South Pacific center, Nemo Point
This place is nearly two thousand kilometers away from the nearest land, and even ships don't sail to this area.
Many countries choose this area as a landing site for spacecraft debris.
Nemo Point is also known as the loneliest place in the world.
At this moment, in this sea area, the sky is covered with dark clouds, thunderclouds roll, and lightning strikes down from the sky continuously.
Below the lightning, a tall figure hovered in the sky.
This person was none other than Lin Wei.
Lightning bolts from the sky struck Lin Wei repeatedly, but they were all blocked by a golden bell-shaped Law Treasure beside her.
This treasure is an Postnatal spiritual treasure, which can automatically protect its owner without the need for a cultivator to activate it.
Further away, Chen Feng stood with his hands behind his back on the sea, with Xiao Ning beside him.
Xiao Ning's aura had clearly reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and she was currently sitting cross-legged beside Chen Feng, stabilizing her cultivation.
Several days ago, Chen Feng brought the two women back to Earth to help them break through their cultivation levels.
With Chen Feng's current wealth, helping the two women break through their limits would be a piece of cake.
He simply took out some spiritual items and pills, and that was enough to help the two women successfully break through to the next level.
Xiao Ning is only at the Golden Core stage; after breaking through, she only needs to stabilize her realm. But Lin Wei is breaking through to the Nascent Soul, and cultivators at this level must undergo a Heavenly Tribulation to break through.
To avoid attracting attention, Chen Feng brought Lin Wei to this area of the sea.
At this moment, Xiao Ning, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes. She glanced at Lin Wei, who was being struck by lightning in the sky, and her expression became extremely solemn.
The mere aura emanating from the lightning filled her with fear.
Xiao Ning turned to look at Chen Feng, and then she realized that Chen Feng hadn't even looked at Lin Wei was undergoing tribulation in the sky.
Instead, he kept staring at the water below.
Xiao Ning immediately looked down and saw several killer whales swimming around the two of them in the sea.
She was already a Golden Core cultivator, so naturally she wouldn't feel afraid of a creature like a killer whale. What puzzled her was...
Sister Lin Wei is going through a tribulation, yet Mr. Chen doesn't seem worried at all, and even has the leisure to watch orcas.
"Mr. Chen, will Sister Lin Wei be alright?" Xiao Ning couldn't help but ask.
Chen Feng did not answer immediately, but instead pointed with his finger. Immediately, several orcas in the sea below were enveloped in a beam of spiritual light.
After being enveloped in the aura, the orcas immediately began to swim happily.
One of them even broke the surface of the water, rubbing its huge head against Chen Feng's trouser leg.
After doing all this, Chen Feng replied, "Don't worry, these lightning tribulations won't harm her."
He wasn't worried about Lin Wei getting into trouble; the life-saving item he gave Lin Wei was something even Spirit Transformation cultivators didn't possess.
Not to mention, the tribulations on Earth are much weaker than those in the Painting Scroll World, making them easy to overcome.
Hearing Chen Feng say that, Xiao Ning relaxed.
She then looked at the orcas in the water and asked, "Did you just give these orcas a treat?"
Chen Feng smiled faintly, "It's not really a benefit, it just gave them some Spiritual Qi, which will allow these Spiritual Qi to live longer."
Chen Feng then patted the orca's head again. "Let's go."
The orca seemed to understand Chen Feng's words, and immediately submerged its head in the seawater before leading its family away.
Watching the orcas swimming in the distance, Chen Feng couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of Earth.
Although he visited many planets in the Painting Scroll World and saw many scenes that were like fairyland.
But he still feels that Earth is the most beautiful place, and he finds everything about it, from animals to plants, to be beautiful.
Every time he returns to Earth, he can forget all his troubles.
This is also why he doesn't want the Earth to be harmed; he doesn't want his homeland to be harmed.
Seeing Chen Feng staring blankly at the distant sea, Xiao Ning didn't dare to ask anything and could only stand obediently to the side and wait.
Before long, the distant lightning and thunder stopped.
The dark clouds slowly receded, and the sun shone again on the sea.
The next second, Lin Wei appeared in front of Chen Feng and Xiao Ning.
"Wow, so fast! Is this the teleportation of Nascent Soul Cultivator?" Xiao Ning asked with envy.
Lin Wei smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is a new ability I just acquired, but I'm still a little unskilled with it."
The breakthrough in her cultivation level put Lin Wei in a great mood.
After reaching the Nascent Soul, although her appearance remained unchanged, her aura was completely different.
After a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul, they undergo a complete transformation, which is related to the spiritual energy contained within the Nascent Soul.
Seeing the uncontrollable aura emanating from Lin Wei, Chen Feng spoke:
"For the next period of time, don't bother with anything else. Focus on meditation and solidify your spiritual state."
Lin Wei nodded. "Okay, I'll go into seclusion later."
Lin Wei always obeyed Chen Feng's words.
"I should leave now," Chen Feng said, looking at the two women.
Now that he has helped the two women break through their cultivation levels, it's time for him to return to the Painting Scroll World.
Nine months in the modern world would have been equivalent to seven years in the Painting Scroll World.
I wonder how things are going on the other side of the Painting Scroll World after seven years.
Hearing that Chen Feng was leaving, Lin Wei asked:
"Aren't you coming back to the moon with me? Tosen has developed some new things, and other research institutes have also made great progress in the past nine months."
Chen Feng shook his head. "Next time."
He doesn't have much time left now. He must gather the spirit stones he needs for cultivation before returning to the Painting Scroll World.
"Alright, then be careful." Lin Wei could tell that Chen Feng seemed to have something on his mind, so she didn't try to stop him any further.
As soon as Lin Wei finished speaking, Chen Feng's figure disappeared on the sea.
After Chen Feng left, Xiao Ning asked, "Sister Lin, is Mr. Chen troubled by something?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei asked in surprise, "Why do you ask that?"
Xiao Ning's eyes flickered. "I just have this feeling."
Lin Wei sighed, "That's just how he is. He shoulders everything alone and never tells us anything."
Compared to Xiao Ning, she understood Chen Feng better and naturally realized that something was on Chen Feng's mind, and it wasn't just anything ordinary.
But Chen Feng wouldn't say, and she wouldn't ask.
"Is it because we're too weak to help him that he's not telling us?" Xiao Ning suddenly said.
Lin Wei smiled and said, "You're quite knowledgeable, girl. This isn't something you should be worrying about. We should go back."
Xiao Ning nodded emphatically and said nothing more, but she had already made up her mind that she would definitely help Mr. Chen in the future.
Lin Wei then took Xiao Ning and vanished in a flash of light.
After reaching the Nascent Soul, Lin Wei's escape speed increased many times over, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Painting Scroll World, the Azure Star.
Seven years have passed, and Canglan Star still wanders in the starry sky.
Planetary engines were running continuously throughout Canglan Star, and a large number of cultivators were busy at the base of each planetary engine.
These cultivators are from various powerful forces on Canglan Star, and they are specifically responsible for mining and refueling the engines.
After seven years of continuous travel, Canglan Star's speed in the universe is now comparable to that of Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The major powers on Canglan Star are currently unaware of how far it is from the Weiyang Star Region.
But for these people, as long as the planet is moving, they are safe.
As time went by, the people on Canglan Star no longer felt as threatened by the Void Spirit Clan and the Star Palace as they had before.
The struggle between the various factions resumed in the third year.
Even the Cultivation Alliance can't stop something like this.
No matter which cultivation planet it is, once the external crisis disappears, internal conflicts will inevitably erupt.
However, despite the struggle between the various factions...
However, they were still very responsible for the planetary launch sites they were in charge of, and no one dared to stop the engines from working.
Several years ago, a cultivation force from the Southern Region, due to a conflict with other forces, withdrew its cultivators from the planetary engine base, which indirectly caused the engine to shut down.
This incident directly enraged the Xingfeng Sect.
In less than a day, this Nascent Soul level force was completely wiped out.
Both the Cultivation Alliance and other forces possessing Nascent Spirit Transformation stage cultivation chose to support Xingfeng Sect's actions.
Xingfeng Sect's ruthless methods undoubtedly deterred other forces.
Following this incident, many factions immediately established a new rule: no matter what happens within their sect, the planetary engines must be kept running.
As for Chen Beijing, who single-handedly protected Canglan Star by resisting the Void Refinement cultivators, there has indeed been no news of him for the past seven years.
Many cultivators speculated that this Sect Master Chen might have been injured in a battle with a Void Refinement cultivator, and that he had been in seclusion to heal his wounds for the past few years.
Others believe that Sect Leader Chen is practicing some kind of powerful secret technique.
In short, there are all sorts of speculations, but without a doubt, Chen Beijing has already become a legendary figure on Canglan Star.
From Qi Refining cultivators to Nascent Soul cultivators, every cultivator on Canglan Star now knows the name Chen Beijing.
The Xingfeng Sect has also undergone significant changes in the past seven years.
In the past seven years, Xingfeng Sect has attracted many cultivators.
Currently, Xingfeng Sect has more than thirty Nascent Soul level cultivators.
There are countless Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The Xingfeng Sect had already begun recruiting cultivators long ago.
However, these recruited cultivators all joined the newly established department of the Xingfeng Sect, the Offering Hall.
Although the ancestral hall did not have the opportunity to access core power.
Even so, every now and then, cultivators would choose to come and join the Xingfeng Sect.
The reason is simple: the treasure trove of the Xingfeng Sect contains far too many wonderful items.
It not only has rare resources from the cultivation world, but also many things that are not found in the cultivation world.
Chen Feng killed so many Spirit Transformation cultivators, obtaining a vast amount of resources, which resulted in the Xingfeng Sect's treasury containing many rare treasures.
To exchange for items in the treasure vault, you only need to complete the tasks assigned by the sect.
Completing tasks earns you contribution points, which can then be exchanged for items in the treasure vault.
Xingfeng Sect Headquarters.
A young girl in a blue dress was walking towards the Xingfeng Sect Cabinet.
The girl was around fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was already a Foundation Establishment level cultivator.
Her appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, but her eyes were very expressive.
Many cultivators and martial artists from the Xingfeng Sect in the vicinity bowed and greeted the young woman.
"Greetings, Steward Wang."
"Greetings, Steward Wang."
The girl smiled back when these people greeted her.
Before long, the girl entered the inner chamber.
In the cabinet's main hall, Liu Qian was sitting in the main seat, holding a tablet computer and looking at something.
Seven years have passed, and Liu Qian has become an old man with a full head of white hair.
But his eyes remained as bright and clear as ever.
As soon as the girl entered, she complained, "Uncle Liu, I knew you were still in the cabinet. Didn't I tell you to get some rest?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qian immediately looked up, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face:
"Oh, it's Feng Nuo. You've returned from the Western Regions?"
The girl in front of them was none other than Wang Hu's daughter, Wang Fengnuo.
Seven years have passed, and she, who was only eight years old at the time, has grown into an adult.
Although Wang Fengnuo's aptitude for cultivation was poor, with the vast resources of the Xingfeng Sect, he only took a few years to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment.
Wang Fengnuo is now working as a steward in the administrative department.
This was also Liu Qian's arrangement.
Although time was passing, Liu Qian clearly felt that his lifespan was not long, and he had been selecting successors for the Xingfeng Sect in recent years.
Among them were Wang Fengnuo, as well as some descendants of the Mo and Ge families.
These people have been with the Xingfeng Sect since its inception, so Liu Qian naturally prioritizes training them.
Wang Fengnuo said, "I've already met Aunt Beaver. Her engine base is operating normally and there's nothing seriously wrong. It's just that there are many races fighting on the Demon Race side."
Liu Qian nodded. "That's normal, as long as they don't interfere with the engine's operation. Has Beaver been guiding your cultivation?"
Wang Fengnuo nodded immediately. "Yes, Aunt Beaver also gave me a Law Treasure."
As he spoke, Wang Fengnuo took out a long sword that was entirely blue from his storage ring. It was clearly a high-grade Law Treasure.
"Well, now that you're back, go see your father. He's inside the gate." Liu Qian glanced at the longsword but didn't pay it any mind.
Although he was just a mortal, his knowledge was far greater than that of ordinary cultivators, so Liu Qian naturally wouldn't care about a Law Treasure.
"Uncle Liu, you should rest for a few days. There's nothing much going on inside the gate right now, and you're getting on in years; you can't overwork yourself."
Wang Fengnuo's smile faded, and he began to dissuade her again.
Liu Qian smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'll go and rest after I finish these things."
Seeing that Liu Qian agreed, Wang Fengnuo's expression improved, and she then cautiously asked:
Have you heard anything from your godfather lately?
Upon hearing this, Liu Qian shook his head solemnly. "Don't ask too many questions about the sect leader's affairs."
Wang Fengnuo immediately pouted. "I just haven't seen him in a long time, so I asked. He's been in seclusion for seven years."
Since Wang Fengnuo recognized Chen Feng as her godfather when she was eight years old, she has never seen Chen Feng again.
She felt both strange and familiar with her godfather.
From a young age, her father instilled in her the idea that her adoptive father was powerful and that she should listen to him and be loyal to the Xingfeng Sect.
Therefore, Wang Fengnuo's feelings for Chen Feng are more of an admiration.
This feeling deepened as she grew up, because her adoptive father seemed to be respected everywhere, whether within the Xingfeng Sect or in the cultivation world, both inside and outside the capital.
Even on this trip to the Western Regions, her aunt Beaver asked her about her godfather.
But all she knew was that Chen Feng was in seclusion, and she had no idea when he would emerge.
Liu Qian said, "You just need to focus on your own work. I'll get the news as soon as the sect leader emerges from seclusion."
However, almost as soon as Liu Qian finished speaking, a clear voice came from outside the door.
What are you talking about?
Liu Qian and Wang Fengnuo immediately looked up and saw Chen Feng stepping into the cabinet.
Seeing the figure walk in as before, Liu Qian immediately smiled, then stood up, bowed, and said:
"Liu Qian greets the Sect Master!"
Chen Feng was taken aback when he saw Liu Qian with his full head of white hair.
He immediately reached out and helped Liu Qian up. "You've had a tough time all these years."
