Chapter 1024

As Bi Qing entangled the white-clad cultivator, Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong swiftly caught up. This time, the Longevity Tower firmly locked down the white-clad cultivator"s aura, making it impossible for him to escape. Next, Chen Feng mobilized the Longevity Tower to encase the white-clad cultivator while Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong displayed the combat power of True Immortals. After a series of attacks, the white-clad cultivator ended up becoming wounded.

“Fellows, let"s stop fighting for now. I have something to say.” The white-clad cultivator began growing anxious. Should this continue, he would surely die.

“There is nothing to talk about here. Hand over the items and you can save yourself from death,” Chen Feng said coolly. Thanks to the Longevity Tower"s power, they were completely in control of the situation. Even without Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong, Chen Feng would still be able to defeat the white-clad cultivator.

“Stop attacking first! Stop! I really have something to say!” the white-clad cultivator shouted again and again. And so, Chen Feng and the others backed away slightly while keeping the white-clad cultivator surrounded.

“Say it, then.” Chen Feng smiled.

After pondering for a moment, the white-clad cultivator said, “I am willing to hand over the items I obtained, but the three of you must guarantee that you will let me go.”

“Tell us about yourself first,” Bi Qing said.

“I am True Immortal Heavenly One from Heavenly Firmaments Palace. The two of you are distinguished personages from the Celestial Planes. Would you care about someone like me?”

“No point saying that. Where are the items? You can leave after handing it over.” Chen Feng went straight to the point.

“Here!”

True Immortal Heavenly One waved his hand and a flying sword flew out before coming to a halt right before Chen Feng. Light flowed across the body of the flying sword, with a faint b.l.o.o.d.y light mixed within it. It also contained grand dao laws and the power of carnage. Surprisingly, it was a top-grade Immortal artifact.

“Immortal Slaughter Sword, a top-grade Immortal artifact.” Chen Feng reached out to take the sword.

“However, are you thinking of sending us off with just this sword? Looks like you are trying to fool us.” Chen Feng tapped the sword with his fingers and sensed the power within it. Satisfied, he then sent it into the Longevity Tower. Strands of divine-tier power then entered the Immortal Slaughter Sword and the imprints within it were instantly wiped away. After several scouring processes, the sword became an ownerless object. Transforming into a stream of light, it then entered Chen Feng"s body.

“That"s right! Do you think we"re just here as decorations?” Huo Yunlong said coldly.

“Ha ha ha! Don"t be hasty, you two. I still have some here.” True Immortal Heavenly One silently swore, but there was nothing he could do about it but bring out another two flying swords. Appearance wise, they looked similar to the one Chen Feng took earlier. Only, the attribute of the powers within them were somewhat different.

“Two more top-grade Immortal artifacts. Looks like you obtained quite a number of goodies here.” Huo Yunlong collected the flying sword, a fiery look on his face. This was a top-grade Immortal artifact. It was something that he had been dreaming of obtaining for the longest time.

“Fellows, you can let me go now, right?” True Immortal Heavenly One said with a smile.

“Sure, but I want one more thing that"s on you,” Chen Feng said.

“Fellows, aren"t you going overboard here?” The expression on True Immortal Heavenly One"s face changed.

“Not at all.” Chen Feng suddenly flipped his palm and the Longevity Tower charged down on True Immortal Heavenly One.

Sou!

True Immortal Heavenly One unleashed a wave of power that was several times stronger than before to suddenly disappear. It was an evasion technique. Surprisingly, he had managed to escape through Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong"s blockade. But the Longevity Tower was like a wall. When True Immortal Heavenly One collided against the Longevity Tower, he caused it to shake violently. Even so, he had failed to escape.

Bang! Bang! 

Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong attacked simultaneously, their attacks landing furiously upon True Immortal Heavenly One"s body. Next, True Immortal Heavenly One was sucked into the Longevity Tower.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Chen Feng"s team of three entered the Longevity Tower at the same time. Without a word, all three then launched ferocious attacks at True Immortal Heavenly One, continuing until his body was blown up. His body was thus transformed into essence power and stored inside, his blood devoured by the Blood Mustering Bead and his soul power devoured and refined by Chen Feng.

Following that, a high number of items fell out.

“This fellow sure obtained a lot. There are a few more top-grade Immortal artifacts here. A pity, there are no pseudo-Divine artifacts.” Huo Yunlong picked up two spiritual beads. They contained hints of pseudo-Divine power, but there was still some distance between the spiritual beads and the pseudo-Divine tier.

“Chen Feng, this sword is quite good. I want it.” Bi Qing picked up a sheathed sword. Unsheathing it slightly caused thick streams of sword energy to surge out from it.

“No problem. This is the loot that the three of us obtained,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.

In addition, there were two other magic treasures. One of them was a pair of Yao Eyes. A top-grade Immortal artifact, it was forged using the eyes of a yao beast.  By refining them, the strength of Chen Feng"s eye technique would rise by at least several notches. 

The other one was a pill ding. It could be used to concoct Immortal-tier medicinal pills.

“It"s the Pill Ding of Reincarnation, capable of concocting the Reincarnation Pill. Only, the Pill Ding of Reincarnation should be a Divine artifact. This one must be a replica.” Chen Feng was very satisfied with the two magic treasures.

“Looks like True Immortal Heavenly One must have gone ahead of us to collect all the good items. Still, for him to be able to collect so many top-grade Immortal artifacts proves that he was quite the extraordinary character.”

“What"s inside this small box?”

“It looks like an ordinary box.” Chen Feng stretched his hand to pick up a palm-sized stone box.

“Eh?” After picking it up, Chen Feng exclaimed.

Given Chen Feng"s present level of strength, he could already lift up a mountain, easily. And yet, the small stone box was so heavy that he found his hand lurching down. He was almost incapable of keeping it held in his grip.

“I think there must be something good here.” Chen Feng smiled and opened the stone box. Next, motes of star light floated out. Instantly, the three of them felt as though they had entered an expanse of s.p.a.ce filled with bedazzling stars. It was such that they temporarily lost their bearings.

After some time, the motes of starlight disappeared and the stone box fell still. Chen Feng then reached into the box to take out a scroll made from unknown materials. There was a drawing on it. Only one chi square, it seemingly weighed hundreds of thousands of kilogrammes. The stars drawn on the scroll flashed with starlight, seemingly moving. Chen Feng, who was regarding it, was almost entranced by the drawing.

“What is this? Could this be a magic treasure?” Chen Feng inspected it carefully, but failed to find any clues. Then, he handed it over to Bi Qing.

After Bi Qing inspected it, he handed it to Huo Yunlong instead. And after Huo Yunlong inspected it, he returned it to Chen Feng again.

“It"s probably a magic treasure.”

“I don"t get it.”

Neither Bi Qing nor Huo Yunlong was able to figure out the background of the scroll. They only knew that it was certainly an extraordinary item.

“Better to let Tower check it out.”

“It"s a pseudo-Divine artifact,” Tower said after giving it a glance.

“A pseudo-Divine artifact? Surely not. I"d believe you if you tell me it"s a map, but a pseudo-Divine artifact? I can"t see which part of it looks like a pseudo-Divine artifact,” Chen Feng replied, puzzled.

Tower did not reply. Instead, he sent a stream of power into the drawing. Instantly, the one chi square drawing expanded in size to hover above their heads. Starlight flashed from dazzling stars and they felt as though they had ventured deep into outer s.p.a.ce.

“It is both a map and a pseudo-Divine artifact,” Tower said.

“A good item! A good item!” Huo Yunlong became completely entranced by the star map.

“But where is the profundity of this item?” 

Not even Bi Qing could figure out the profundity of this item, let alone Chen Feng. The pseudo-Divine tier was far above the Immortal tier after all.

However, that did not mean Tower could not figure it out. Tower had existed for countless years. And while he had yet to fully recover his powers, his ability to discern was still there. Moreover, given the Longevity Tower"s present level of strength, going all out would allow it to devour even a pseudo-Divine artifact.

“This pseudo-Divine artifact must be something that a Heavenly Immortal left behind. There are Heavenly laws within it. There is a mystery hidden within this star map. It is probably a treasure map for some treasure h.o.a.rd. The average cultivator would have a very hard time finding it, let alone figure out the star ways,” Tower said.

“In other words, you can figure out the mystery in it?” Chen Feng felt delighted. At that very moment, the three of them had become convinced that this star map was the biggest treasure within the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain. Earlier, True Immortal Heavenly One would rather hand over so many top-grade Immortal artifacts than reveal any information regarding this item.

Tower nodded and another stream of light rushed into the map and several characters – glowing with light – appeared one after another. At the same time, faint-looking ancient star ways flashed out.

“Bedazzling Star Map. Worthy of its name!” Looking at the characters, Chen Feng laughed.

“However, I don"t know these star ways. I don"t even know which star region they are referring to.”

“Don"t ask me. I am not omnipotent. Besides, I have yet to fully recover my strength,” Tower was quick to say.

Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong nodded and said nothing. Chen Feng, on the other hand, felt his mind racing. He knew that Tower must surely know the place. Only, for some reason, he did not want to tell them about it.

“Let"s go back. We managed to obtain a great harvest this time. Ha ha! As expected, we can only get treasures when there are True Immortals around.” Huo Yunlong snickered. Having obtained some top-grade Immortal artifacts, Huo Yunlong felt very satisfied. He kept the Seed of the Fire Essence back into his body and his cultivation base began falling to the high-level Ascendant Immortal stage. Immediately, however, a formidable force charged out from him and he exclaimed before rus.h.i.+ng away. After landing on a relatively large asteroid, he stopped moving.

Tribulation clouds gathered. Huo Yunlong was undergoing his tribulation.

“Undergoing tribulation now?” Chen Feng and Bi Qing exchanged glances. Then, they rushed forward to occupy two other asteroids to keep an eye out for Huo Yunlong.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! 

The Heavenly Tribulation began and tribulation powers engulfed Huo Yunlong. After giving it a glance, Chen Feng then turned to observe their surroundings. In Chen Feng"s opinion, Huo Yunlong should have no issues overcoming this tribulation. After scanning around with his divine sense, Chen Feng then realized that there was something special about this group of asteroids. 

The battle they had waged against a True Immortal earlier was already powerful enough to destroy a medium-sized planet. And yet, looking around, Chen Feng saw that the chaos left in the wake of their battle had already disappeared. More accurately, a wondrous power had allowed the place to recover to its original state.

Seeing Chen Feng turn his gaze towards him, Bi Qing nodded. Clearly, he had also noticed it.

Although it"s somewhat strange, I think there should be no danger, Chen Feng thought. During the course of their earlier battle, they had destroyed countless asteroids. And yet, nothing had happened. Additionally, Chen Feng was not sensing any danger.
