Xu Feng was halfway through, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it.
The Xuan Guang Jing was not an offensive Dao Artifact, but rather a cultivation aid Dao Artifact, its essence being a time converter.
As long as the Xuan Guang Jing was activated, one could cultivate within the mysterious light it emitted; ten years of cultivation inside would equate to only one year passing outside. In other words, the Xuan Guang Jing was a tenfold enhancement cultivation ground.
This was incredible! With this, the hundred-year challenge against Silverbeard could be achieved in just ten years, making it hard not to smile.
The only downside was that this Dao Artifact had a limited lifespan of ten years due to Jiang Wujue's inability to activate the Spirit Weapon afterward.
Xu Feng placed the booklet back in its original spot. These three Dao Artifacts were extraordinary treasures from Zheguo; Wuwei Academy could not possibly produce three Superior Dao Instruments at once, let alone a reverse Dao Artifact like the Xuan Guang Jing. The power of these three Dao Artifacts was too strong; with Xu Feng's Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, he couldn't even attempt to refine them.
Colorful Rooster looked around in confusion at the bare walls, unsure of what Xu Feng was doing. To it, aside from the skeleton, there was nothing else here.
Xu Feng bowed once more to Jiang Wujue's remains and said, "Senior Jiang, Zuo Qiumingjian has long ascended to the Immortal Realm. I can only return your relics to Golden Stone Workshop. I hope they can benefit from your assistance and produce an extraordinary talent who surpasses Zuo Qiumingjian."
Currently, Wuwei Academy had everything under wraps, and Xu Feng was unaware of the situation at Golden Stone Workshop. He dared not send the ring there immediately; he planned to wait until he advanced to Divine Separation Stage and gained the strength to confront Great Perfection Stage experts before heading to Golden Stone Workshop. This way, even if something unexpected occurred, he would have the ability to protect himself.
After leaving the stone chamber, Xu Feng found the mechanism that Arctic Chicken had used to open the stone door. He pressed down on the lever, and the stone door made a sound before slowly closing.
Following the passageway out of the stone chamber, he returned to the surface. The route was so concealed that without Arctic Chicken, it would have been impossible to find; there was no need to worry about others entering the stone chamber.
In Snowstorm Garden, those towering Conifer Trees suddenly seemed to lose their protection as snow fell upon them and no longer melted. Within a minute, these trees were completely covered by heavy snow, and Snowstorm Garden ceased to exist from that moment on.
Xu Feng sighed deeply, suspecting that the disappearance of Snowstorm Garden was related to his entry into Jiang Wujue's stone chamber. Ten thousand years ago, Jiang Wuzhen had refined tools here and set up a strange formation that led to the creation of Snowstorm Garden.
"We should head back," Xu Feng said as he took one last look at the Snowstorm Garden buried under heavy snow, setting off on the journey home with the Multicolored Rooster.
This trip to the Arctic Snowfield went smoothly thanks to the Multicolored Rooster's assistance. What was initially expected to take three to five months to find the Arctic Chicken was accomplished in less than a month, successfully obtaining the essence of the Arctic Chicken. Additionally, they unexpectedly acquired Jiang Wujue's Spatial Ring, making this trip incredibly worthwhile.
With a swift journey, three months passed.
Xu Feng returned the Multicolored Rooster to the Beast Wasteland. After meeting A Qi, he left behind some items useful for the beasts and spent two hours refining a vat of Dan Liquid specifically for Nascent Soul Stage beasts as a token of gratitude.
Upon returning to Daming Lake, it had already been half a year.
Due to Xu Ruchu's unexpected death, the Xu family's reputation in Minghu City had declined significantly. Strangely, their former rival, the Yue Family, had also become much more subdued, no longer seeking conflict with the Xu family. Whenever there were disputes, they would actively retreat and seek peace.
Outside the Xu family residence, Lu Liang was conversing with someone dressed in Pingdao Sect attire. The two were laughing and chatting happily. Soon after, several other members of Pingdao Sect emerged from within the residence, exchanged greetings, and took their leave.
"Lu Daoyou, do we have guests?" Xu Feng asked as he turned the corner onto the street.
Seeing Xu Feng approach, Lu Liang cheerfully replied, "Xu Daoyou! What brings you here? It's been a while since I last saw you." Only a few people knew about Xu Feng's journey to find the Arctic Chicken.
"No particular reason; I came on my own. Don't forget, I am a Golden Blade Disciple of the Xu family."
After the battle at Sealing Magic Gorge, Xu Ruchu's private army was disbanded and integrated into the Xu family's inner court. Golden Blade Disciples like Xu Feng would occasionally be assigned tasks and sent out on missions. Lu Liang assumed that Xu Feng was out on a mission.
"You seem quite familiar with Pingdao Sect," Xu Feng remarked tentatively.
Lu Liang smiled and said, "The Pingdao Sect has been coming frequently these past few months, so we've gradually become familiar with them. I believe they will come again."
A voice floated in from the Xu Family Courtyard: "Xu Feng, you're back! Come in quickly." It was the voice of Grand Elder Xu Duo Chou.
Lu Liang couldn't help but look at Xu Feng with a higher regard. The moment Xu Feng returned, even Xu Duo Chou was alerted; it seemed their relationship was quite good.
Xu Feng responded, "I'll be there shortly," exchanged pleasantries with Lu Liang, and headed towards the Elder Council.
While Xu Feng was outside, several core members of the Xu family had already learned whether he had brought back Arctic Chicken Blood, which was crucial for Xu Ruchu's chance of survival.
Xu Mo and Xu Duo Chou were waiting for Xu Feng in the Elder Council.
"Thank you for your hard work. Did you get it?"
"I got it."
After this brief exchange, the three entered a secret chamber.
Inside the chamber, Farmland divided the Arctic Chicken Essence Blood that Xu Feng brought back into three portions. After taking a drop for testing, he infused each portion into three talismans and then injected them into Xu Ruchu's body.
Xu Ruchu appeared peaceful, as if asleep; there was no reaction at all after the three portions of chicken blood were injected.
Farmland then took out a potion and sprinkled it around Xu Ruchu. He said, "The essence blood of the Arctic Chicken is very effective and arrived just in time. Right now, elder sister Yuan Ying is too weak to show any effects. I have already injected all the essence blood into her body. Next, we can only let the essence blood nourish her slowly until she regains consciousness before we can use other powerful soul medicines."
As soon as Yuan Ying regained consciousness, he could autonomously heal himself and save his own life. It was just like someone in a long-term coma; once they woke up, everything else would be manageable.
As for when the eldest sister would wake up, that was entirely up to her.
The four of them exited the secret chamber. Xu Mo said, "Xu Feng, this time As Before has a glimmer of hope, all thanks to you finding the Arctic Chicken Essence Blood. You didn't let me down."
Xu Feng replied, "The eldest sister has suffered so much; it's all due to Xu Feng's inadequate protection. I dare not seek credit."
Shen Mo said, "Everyone has their fate. As Before was destined to face this calamity; how can you blame yourself?"
Xu Mo took out a box and handed it to Xu Feng, saying, "In this battle at Sealing Magic Gorge, the Pingdao Sect hunted down an Azure Blood Serpent. This is a unique dragon pill made from the blood and flesh of the Azure Blood Serpent. It will greatly benefit your cultivation. Our Xu family received three pills, and this one is for you."
Xu Feng quickly declined. He originally did not lack for pills, and the Xu family had lost over ten Divine Separation Practitioners recently, making it a critical time for powerful pills. Xu Feng said, "The family head is being too polite. Xu Feng is only fulfilling his duty. If the family head insists on rewarding me, then I dare to ask for an opportunity to enter seclusion."
Xu Mo asked, "Are you planning to enter seclusion?" It had been less than a year since Xu Feng last entered seclusion.
"Indeed," Xu Feng replied.
Xu Duo Chou nodded and said, "You have a hundred-year agreement with Silverbeard. With your current cultivation level, challenging him would be exceedingly difficult. Silverbeard won't even give you the chance to challenge him; your strengths are too far apart. Entering seclusion now might not be a bad idea. If you can advance to the Divine Separation Stage within a hundred years, you might be able to preserve your life under Silverbeard."
No one had high hopes for Xu Feng. Even though Xu Duo Chou knew that Xu Feng could challenge opponents above his level, Silverbeard was an established Great Perfection Stage expert with a long-standing reputation. No matter how much Xu Feng defied the odds, it was impossible for him to defeat a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator with his Early Stage of Spirit Separation cultivation level, especially since he had not yet advanced to the Divine Separation Stage.
Seeing that Xu Feng was determined to enter seclusion, Xu Mo said, "In that case, return to Shaoyang Mountain. I will arrange the best cave for you. With the help of a master, if you could advance two levels last time, there's no reason you can't reach the Divine Separation Stage this time."
Xu Feng said, "Is someone helping?"
Xu Mo replied, "Xu Feng, you don't need to hide it from me. Last time you spent an extra ten years in seclusion; you naturally know the reason better than I do."
Xu Feng suddenly realized that during his last seclusion, he had been manipulated by the Lord of Fragrance through A Qi, who secretly hid Celestial Sovereign's Blood within him. As a result, he ended up cultivating for an additional ten years before emerging. The past decade had been puzzling, and now hearing Xu Mo speak, it was clear that the Lord of Fragrance must have had contact with Xu Mo and granted him an extra ten years.
Xu Feng was momentarily speechless and didn't know how to explain.
Xu Duo Chou said, "You have contributed a lot to our Xu family. Since you don't want any pills this time in seclusion, I'll give you a manuscript instead. This manuscript contains my insights after advancing to the Divine Separation Stage; it will be beneficial for your breakthrough to the Divine Separation Stage."
A book flew in front of Xu Feng, and he accepted it without hesitation. "Thank you, Grand Elder."
The insights from a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator were ten times more valuable than refining a Divine Separation Practitioner.
Xu Feng vowed to slay Silverbeard within a hundred years. Based on past experiences, as long as he broke through to the Divine Separation Stage, the Gale Sword Formation would undoubtedly become more powerful, making it possible to kill Silverbeard. However, he feared that Wuwei Academy was the top sect in Xian Dao; killing someone from Wuwei Academy would surely face immense resistance. Even if successful, he would be hunted down relentlessly.
Silverbeard had killed Xu Ruchu, and Xu Feng was filled with rage; he could not quell his hatred without killing Silverbeard.
Xu Mo immediately wrote up a document and signed off on a hundred-year seclusion period, allowing Xu Feng to return to Shaoyang Mountain for his cultivation.
Xu Feng took the document and turned to leave.
Watching Xu Feng depart, Xu Mo asked, "Elder, do you think Xu Feng can advance to the Divine Separation Stage within a hundred years?"
Xu Duo Chou said, "This child has a deep mind. His promotion to Separation of Spirit is naturally not in question. However, it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat Silver Beard within a hundred years."
Xu Mo replied, "Xu Feng is talented. Fortunately, As Before has recruited him into the Xu family. As long as we can keep him, our Xu family will soon be among the top ten in Xian Dao."
Xu Duo Chou continued, "The Pingdao Sect and Li Hua Palace are already preparing to join forces against Wuwei Academy. In a hundred years, with these two sects backing him, even if Xu Feng cannot win, he won't lose his life to the enemy."
Xu Mo sighed, "Regardless, Xu Feng has limitless potential. It would be wise to win him over. If only—"
Xu Ruofei hurried in and said, "Master."
Xu Mo instructed, "Go notify Shaoyang Mountain to clear out Purple Cloud Peak so that Xu Feng can enter seclusion there."
Xu Ruofei was taken aback; Purple Cloud Peak is the training ground for the family's experts striving for the Great Perfection Stage. Allowing Xu Feng to cultivate there is a privilege that the entire family would fight hard to obtain.
"Understood." Xu Ruofei did not dare to ask further and promptly left.
