The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 469: The Auspicious Sign of Fortune

“Is that the Yunmeng Goddess Statue?”

“Yunmeng City is far from here, how could the Yunmeng Goddess Statue appear in this place?”

“This… this is definitely the Yunmeng Goddess Statue, right?”

Except for Xuening, who was deep in reverent contemplation, Su Jingzhen, Shen Yifeng, and Ye Zhiqiu were all utterly bewildered.

Although Su Jingzhen had only visited Yunmeng City once and hadn’t gained any insights while under the Yunmeng Goddess Statue, he could still recognize it at a glance.

The size, proportions, and posture were not just similar; they were all identical.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Yifeng’s gaze shifted back to Xuening.

A look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

His attention returned to the drop of Five-Color Blood Essence that Xuening had condensed.

None of them knew what Xuening would do next, but they all remained silent, fearing they might disrupt her train of thought.

After all, they were completely unfamiliar with this place.

At this moment, Shen Yifeng and Su Jingzhen instinctively looked back.

Through their divine consciousness, they sensed that the cultivators from various top-tier factions had already passed through the area shrouded in gray mist and had successfully entered the Dantai Ruins.

Even though Qingzhou was considered a desolate region in the grand scheme of the cultivation world, the combined strength of all the top-tier factions was still formidable.

Shen Yifeng couldn’t help but sigh, “This time, the Dantai Ruins may face a true calamity.”

From what they had seen so far, the treasures within the Dantai Ruins far exceeded their initial expectations.

Many factions, whose original intention was merely to bring their disciples here for training, might change their plans after witnessing those treasures.

If the story they had heard—that the Dantai Clan was destroyed by powerful beings from outside the region—was just a lie, then this time, the factions entering the ruins would make that lie a reality.

At the very least, the pavilions, towers, and spiritual plants within the ruins would likely be lost.

Most of the wonders in the cultivation world were created by cultivators.

But most of the beauty in the cultivation world was also destroyed by cultivators.

“Master…”

At this moment, Su Jingzhen turned his gaze to Shen Yifeng.

To be honest, he still couldn’t stop thinking about some of the things he had seen earlier.

To say he didn’t want them would be a lie.

Shen Yifeng naturally understood what he meant.

But he still gently shook his head.

“Don’t worry about it. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you’ll realize that many things that you don’t need are merely superfluous.

It is better to avoid forcing yourself to obtain them through karma, only to have them gather dust in a storage ring.

Every drink and every peck is tied to karma; every gain and loss is part of cultivation.”

As Shen Yifeng spoke, his tone remained exceptionally calm.

Su Jingzhen, and even Ye Zhiqiu beside him, were once again stunned.

Su Jingzhen suddenly felt that his cheap master might actually have some depth to him.

Not in terms of his strength.

But in his understanding.

He suddenly felt that the ominous karma or curse that Shen Yifeng bore was truly defying the heavens.

Otherwise, just based on Shen Yifeng being able to say such profound words with such calmness, his strength shouldn’t be merely at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

And Ye Zhiqiu’s gaze towards Shen Yifeng had already shifted from shock to admiration.

At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu gently closed her eyes, as if she had gained some insight.

Moments later, Ye Zhiqiu opened her eyes.

She then respectfully performed a disciple’s salute to Shen Yifeng.

“Oh?”

Shen Yifeng was slightly puzzled.

Ye Zhiqiu solemnly said, “Thank you, Senior Shen, for enlightening me.

After this journey, I can return and form my Core.

Perhaps I can even make some progress in my alchemy.”

This is how it is with highly perceptive cultivators.

Sometimes, a single word, a single scene, or a single thought can lead to enlightenment.

And when enlightenment comes, it is all-encompassing.

In this regard, Shen Yifeng indeed deserved Ye Zhiqiu’s respectful salute.

At least at this moment, Shen Yifeng could be considered Ye Zhiqiu’s enlightenment teacher.

Shen Yifeng smiled and said nothing.

But Su Jingzhen was shocked that this old man could say such philosophical words.

But he still didn’t agree in his heart.

As a transmigrator, his philosophy was to take whatever he wanted.

Even if people say that a forced melon isn’t sweet, Su Jingzhen didn’t care.

Whether it was sweet or not didn’t matter; as long as he could get it, he was happy.

And no matter if those treasures would gather dust in a storage ring or not, as long as he put them inside, he’d be satisfied.

However, at this moment, he thought it better not to contradict Shen Yifeng’s moment of showing off.

He’d go along with it for now.

After all, with Xuening leading the way, they had the upper hand.

Those treasures he had coveted earlier were not irreplaceable.

It’s possible that what Xuening could bring them would be the true wonders and unparalleled fortunes.

If Su Jingzhen’s cultivation was powerful enough to dominate the entire Dan Holy City, he might not hesitate to expel all the other forces and enjoy everything here for himself.

But right now, he wasn’t at that level, was he?

While Su Jingzhen and the others were deep in their own thoughts, Xuening also began to take action.

Her expression remained as devout as ever.

With another movement of the seal in her hand, the five-colored divine light surrounding the drop of blood floating before her grew even more radiant.

In the next moment, a series of lights began to glow on the statue of the Yunmeng Goddess, echoing Xuening’s drop of blood.

The light source on the Yunmeng Goddess statue emanated from its chest.

The beam of light instantly descended, enveloping Su Jingzhen and the others completely.

At this moment, even Shen Yifeng, powerful as he was, could feel a warm and harmonious energy seeping into his body.

Shen Yifeng’s expression shifted, the anticipation in his eyes burning even brighter.

Under this sacred light, he felt as though a portion of the ominous force within him had been driven out.

“Could it be… that today I am truly blessed with such a great fortune?”

Shen Yifeng knew well that this level of power was still far from being able to lift the curse upon him.

But in that instant, he undeniably glimpsed a sliver of hope.

Ye Zhiqiu also closed her eyes once again, embracing the fortune that was hers in that moment.

Among the four of them, only Su Jingzhen’s face showed a hint of confusion once more.

Aside from the warmth, he felt nothing special.

This situation was exactly the same as when he was at Wind Bell Square in Yunmeng City.

The first time everyone saw the Yunmeng Goddess statue, they would receive some form of fortune or gain some insight.

But back then, he hadn’t felt anything special either.

At that time, he attributed it to a lack of affinity with the Yunmeng Goddess statue, or perhaps the timing wasn’t right.

This time, upon seeing the Yunmeng Goddess statue again, he wasn’t sure if it was the same one.

But this time, Xuening had even used the five-colored blood essence to forcibly construct a bridge for them.

At the very least, this should count as a bridge of destiny, right?

Even the statue was radiating divine light.

Everyone else was immersed in their own fortune.

Yet he still felt nothing!

Who wouldn’t be frustrated in such a situation?

“But if Master and the others can really achieve their wish here, it would be a good thing.

When we came here, there were too many treasures on the road, and it would take others a while to get to this location.”

With these thoughts, Su Jingzhen’s mindset gradually calmed down.

Xuening’s state did not last long.

Soon, the confusion in her eyes seemed to dissipate entirely.

Her aura suddenly surged to a higher level.

She was already at the peak of Foundation Establishment’s late stage.

After connecting with the divine light on the Yunmeng Goddess statue for such a brief moment, her aura now reached the Golden Core stage.

Su Jingzhen’s heart stirred once more.

“Is it really that smooth?”

When the opportunity arrives, it seems that breaking through was incredibly simple for anyone.

After her breakthrough, Su Jingzhen’s thoughts immediately turned to Xuening’s status.

[Emotional Connection with Xuening: Mutual Appreciation]

Level Bonus: 3x

Cultivation Bonus: 3x]

[Remaining Points Available: 557]

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s excitement grew even more.

Apart from anything else, future bonus points would be nine per instance, which means a lot more points could be gained.

As Xuening broke through, Su Jingzhen suddenly felt a similar fluctuation in energy.

His gaze shifted, and he saw Ye Zhiqiu’s aura surge.

She, too, had advanced directly from the late stage of Foundation Establishment to the early stage of Golden Core.

Previously, she had already sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough from Shen Yifeng’s words. She had mentioned being able to form her Golden Core after returning.

Now, thanks to the divine light from the Yunmeng Goddess statue, this time was shortened.

This was a natural progression.

With two new Golden Core cultivators in their group, Ye Zhiqiu and Xuening now had some self-defense capability, which was significant given that Golden Core cultivators were among the stronger members in the Dan Holy City.

This meant that no matter what happened afterward, Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng could be more at ease.

At the moment Xuening completed her breakthrough, the divine blood before them seemed to dim slightly.

The light source on the chest of the Yunmeng Goddess statue also extinguished at that moment.

As Xuening looked at the Yunmeng Goddess statue again, her gaze remained devout, but it seemed to hold something more.

Xuening then turned her gaze towards Shen Yifeng and Su Jingzhen.

“Brother Su, I can sense that Grandfather and Little Ling are in the grand hall ahead.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifeng and Su Jingzhen’s expressions changed once more.

The grand hall ahead looked extremely majestic.

A colorful auspicious light seemed to hover above the hall.

Shen Yifeng knew that this represented the fortune of a force.

The fact that the Dantai clan’s fortune manifested such a colorful auspicious light indicated that their foundation remained strong.

This had nothing to do with any destruction.

Shen Yifeng had been staying at the Evil Moon Sect’s headquarters before.

At least, he had not seen such a strong fortune at the Evil Moon Sect’s headquarters.

His heart grew heavy once again.

To him, this situation seemed too unusual.
