Chapter 985 The Immortal Plane’s Essence

Translator: podao001

One month later, two more forces appeared in Eternal World. They were from the Nether Plane and the Ghost Plane. The two worlds had sent forth a high number of Nether Troopers, Nether Generals, Ghost Troopers and Ghost Generals. In fact, their number exceeded the number of blood cultivators from the blood Plane.

Back when facing the emergence of the blood cultivators, the cultivators of Eternal World had the option of banding together to kill off the blood cultivators. At that very moment, however, the situation had changed. In the face of this endless emergence of these heretical cultivators, they began feeling fearful. Thus, they banded together even more. Due to that, the East Dragon Island Alliance found itself with some more allies.

The intervention from the Nether Plane and Ghost Plane caused Chen Feng to push his plan for the Great Heavenstealing Arrays forward.

The reason behind this decision was the fact that Chen Feng could sense a formidable atmosphere of pressure. Naturally, Chen Feng had made ample preparations beforehand. All the Ascendant Immortals affiliated with the East Dragon Island Alliance followed Chen Feng’s instructions to stay within East Dragon Island’s sphere of influence. Every single one of the Great Heavenstealing Arrays was protected by formidable Ascendant Immortals. Prince Blood Edge and the four great Yao Overlords made a display of sincerity, leading a group of Ascendant Immortals forward and stationing them within East Dragon Island’s territory. They even took the initiative to request permission to guard the Great Heavenstealing Arrays. Of course, they had their own reasons for doing so. They wanted a share of the benefits from the Great Heavenstealing Arrays.

Chen Feng generously agreed. He also had his own reasons for doing so. This large-scale operation with the Great Heavenstealing Arrays would certainly trigger an unrest within the Immortal Plane. Thus, Chen Feng wanted to borrow their strength to fight off the cultivators from the Immortal Plane.

Nine Great Heavenstealing Arrays fell upon an island each. Every one of them occupied a unique location. For the sake of this operation, Chen Feng had utilized great magics to move the islands into the right positions. And although there was a distance of several million li between each Great Heavenstealing Array, there was a close connection between each of them, allowing them to form an even bigger great array.

Occupying the central position, Chen Feng then brought out the Longevity Tower. When he did so, light burst out from Xian Yun’s eyes before quickly fading away. Chen Feng seemingly did not notice that.

“Bi Qing, this Longevity Tower is just a replica, right?” Xian Yun asked, a calm look on his face.

“It has to be a replica. Didn’t the Celestial Longevity Plane’s real Longevity Tower disappear already?” Originally, Bi Qing had wanted to inform Xian Yun of the truth. However, considering how he had yet to get Chen Feng’s permission to do so, he decided to change the subject instead.

“A replica. Unexpectedly, I would be able to meet a cultivator from the Longevity Clan here. Ha ha ha! Bi Qing, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Xian Yun laughed.

“Our Celestial Clearblue Plane has a good relationship with the Celestial Longevity Plane while this Chen Feng is someone who is blessed with great luck. Even though this Longevity Tower is just a replica, in my opinion, its foundation is very good. I will need the Longevity Tower’s help in regaining my strength in the future. Naturally, when the time comes, I will also be needing your assist,” Bi Qing said with a chuckle.

“But of course! We are brothers who have braved through life and death together. We have been friends of tens of thousands of years now. Heh! If Third Bro and the others know that I’ve found you, they will surely be overjoyed.”

“Right, how are Third Bro and the others right now? I was originally thinking of trying to contact you guys after I reach the True Immortal stage. I didn’t think that you would actually come to this star region.” Bi Qing felt his heart stirring with emotions.

“They’re doing great. Their levels are already above mine. Only, they’ve been spending all these years in cultivation retreat. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have to come out all on my own.” Xian Yun shook his head, a look of regret on his face.

“Sigh! Who knows how long it will take for me to regain the strength I had back then,” Bi Qing said with a sigh.

“Don’t worry. You will surely be able to do it,” Xian Yun comforted him.

Boom!

All nine Great Heavenstealing Arrays began operating and nine pillars of light charged into the sky. Every single great array was protected by Ascendant Immortals. This time, Chen Feng had decided to go all out. For the sake of improving the East Dragon Island Alliance’s strength, he did not concern himself with how his actions would violate the Heavenly dao and how it would affect his future path of cultivation. In his opinion, with enough power, he would be able to break even the Heavenly dao.

The nine pillars of light smoothly linked up with the Immortal Plane and concentrated immortal energy began descending. This time, the Great Heavenstealing Arrays seemingly had an easier time compared to the previous one. Chen Feng believed that this was due to the weakening of the Heavenly dao laws.

After the streams of immortal energy were spread out, all the cultivators within East Dragon Island’s territory began cultivating themselves. This time, Chen Feng had enlarged the barrier to a distance of five million kilometres. That way, the entire East Dragon Island Alliance, tens of other forces and hundreds of millions of cultivators, would be able to benefit from this.

As East Dragon Island had developed to this degree, there was no need for it to fear that other cultivators might come trouble it. Even if Heavenly Firmaments Palace were to send its men to attack, the forces from the East Dragon Island Alliance would be sure to put up a good fight against them.

However, even after the designated area – spanning a length of five million kilometres – was filled with immortal energy, there were no movements from Heavenly Firmaments Palace. It seemed as though Heavenly Firmaments Palace was simply unaware of what was happening in East Dragon Island. That said, some other forces did attempt to take advantage of the situation. Either that, or try to sneak in to obtain some benefits.

The forces in East Dragon Island had already received Chen Feng’s instructions on what to do in the face of such occurrences. And that was to attack. No hesitations. More, it was the very brutal type of attack. At any rate, given the East Dragon Island Alliance’s present level of strength, it could already sweep through the Central Plains unchallenged.

As predicted, after they beat back several forces, killing off hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the process, the entire world of cultivation grew shocked. Due to that, the forces that wanted to attack East Dragon Island behaved themselves. Having borne witness to the might of the East Dragon Island Alliance, they began feeling fearful. They feared that the East Dragon Island Alliance would come after them in the future in retaliation for their actions.

Chen Feng sat in the central position of the great arrays, the Longevity Tower placed right before him. Although the Longevity Tower appeared motionless, it was in fact in the process of stealing the essence of the Immortal Plane. And so, after just a few days, the surrounding ocean region had become filled with immortal energy. Additionally, there were already over a thousand immortal dao laws inside the Longevity Tower.

The stealing process was much easier than before. Firstly, it was because the Longevity Tower’s strength had risen. Secondly, it was the weakening of the Heavenly dao laws. Thirdly, this was the function of the Great Heavenstealing Arrays.

The immortal energy had many effects for ordinary cultivators. Just living in a place with immortal energy without cultivating for a time would cause their bodies to undergo a cleansing process of the bones and marrow. Naturally, what Chen Feng wanted the most was immortal dao laws. Those items were useful even for Earthen Immortals. As for True laws, he could forget about it. That was something that had to be cultivated out. Of course, that was not to say that immortal dao laws were not comparable to True laws. There were distinctions even amongst immortal dao laws.

High-level immortal dao laws were far superior to True laws. Only, given the Longevity Tower’s present level, it could only steal some low-level immortal dao laws. Even so, those immortal dao laws were enough to greatly benefit Human Immortals and Earthen Immortals. Rather, it would not be an exaggeration to say that those immortal dao laws would allow their cultivation bases to rise by leaps and bounds.

“Humph! This is wasting so much of my strength, but it cannot give me anything good,” Tower said with a somewhat displeased tone. Even though he was able to extract the immortal dao laws using this method, they were practically useless for the Longevity Tower.

“You can’t say that. Improving East Dragon Island’s strength equals improving my strength. Improving my strength equals improving your strength, no? Besides, if you are not satisfied, you can try to extract the essence power of the Immortal Plane. That way, I can cultivate out a Chaos Constitution,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“Easier said than done,” Tower grumbled. Despite that, a stream of faint-cyan energy did enter the Longevity Tower.

“This is the essence of the Immortal Plane. But there are some golden-coloured energy streams mixed within it. Looks like it is not pure.” Chen Feng jabbed forward with a finger and a clump of the faint-cyan energy stream was pulled over. The clump of energy swirled around the finger a few times before getting absorbed by Chen Feng.

Instantly, Chen Feng felt refreshed. Speaking of which, Chen Feng had already devoured a large amount of essence power before. However, he was still unable to tell if he would be able to cultivate out the Chaos Constitution. This time, after absorbing the clump of faint-cyan energy, he sensed something breaking open within his body.

“So easy?” Chen Feng stretched his palm forward and a black hole appeared on his palm. As a result, a portion of the essence power that the Longevity Tower had to arduously steal from the Immortal Plane was taken and devoured by Chen Feng instead.

A considerable amount of essence power of the Immortal Plane had already entered Chen Feng’s body, but he felt as though something had been lit on fire within him. Due to that, a feeling of hunger grew within him instead.

“Kid, you... eh?”

Originally, Tower had been somewhat displeased with Chen Feng’s actions of taking away the essence power that he had to painstakingly steal from the Immortal Plane. After that, however, he nearly jumped to his feet. Putting aside the matter of stealing the essence power of the Immortal Plane, Tower instead utilized a type of immortal technique to inspect Chen Feng’s body.

“This kid! Isn’t his spiritual root already completely damaged? Why is it recovering? If so, doesn’t that mean he would really be able to cultivate out a Chaos Constitution? Is that even possible?” Tower became truly astonished.

“What’s so surprising about this? I was born with the Chaos Constitution to begin with. Although it was damaged, by cultivating and repairing it, it will become even stronger than before,” Chen Feng replied coolly, giving off the atmosphere of one stampeding through the universe to conquer the desolate.

“Tower, what are you spacing out for? Can’t you see that I am in need of a lot of the Immortal Plane’s essence power?” The black hole on Chen Feng’s palm began devouring energy at an increased pace and the cyan energy stream that was stored inside the Longevity Tower was completely absorbed by him.

“Good!” This time, Tower did not become furious. Instead, he became excited. Seemingly affected by Chen Feng’s actions, the Longevity Tower erupted with a greater display of power. Instantly, it extracted over 1,000 immortal dao laws and a tangible stream of cyan energy.

“Good, kid! I can finally see the light of hope! Looks like the choice I made back then was the right one!” Tower could not stop himself from becoming excited. Even his body, the Longevity Tower, trembled as a result.

“Your choice? It was purely coincidence that the both of us ended up falling together back then. Without me, you can forget about recovering to this level,” Chen Feng deliberately teased Tower.

“My ass! Without me, you are just a nameless cultivator!” As expected, Tower became enraged.

“Fine, fine. Now is not the time to be quarrelling. Hurry up and bring out your abilities to get more. I have a feeling that True Immortals will surely be coming over. Should they bring any Immortal artifacts over with them, I will just give them to you,” Chen Feng said even as he continued cultivating.

Although the amount of cyan energy that Chen Feng had absorbed was not that great, it was already the equivalent of millions of Immortal crystals. Given his normal rate of cultivation, this was something that would have taken him years to accomplish. And yet, the present Chen Feng did not feel satisfied at all. Instead, the hunger within him only grew.

“Good! By absorbing more essence power, I will be able to accomplish greater results. The things that I lost back then, I will surely get them back!” Chen Feng’s thoughts began raging while his essence, energy and soul power multiplied. Thinking about how his friends from back then had already become Heavenly Immortals, he felt an even greater sense of urgency.
