Chapter 1055 The Fifth Floor of the Longevity Tower

Translator: podao001

The sudden advent of the Heavenly Tribulation brought about a world-shaking change to the four cultivators’ plan.

Regardless of how powerful the four cultivators may be, they would not intervene in the tribulation of another cultivator. Doing so would affect the grand dao laws and trigger their own personal Heavenly Tribulations.

The first power of devastation easily broke through the barrier of the world that the four cultivators had created. Following that, an even stronger Heavenly Tribulation descended. Due to that, the dimension entrapping the Dark Kirin shook violently, on the brink of breaking apart.

“Let’s go! We’ll leave this place first!” The four cultivators were aware that interfering in this tribulation would only cause the Heavenly Tribulation to lock down on them instead. Thus, they promptly decided to leave.

“Let’s finish off the small fries from earlier first.”

Chen Feng himself was surprised to see how swiftly they made up their minds. That said, he was already prepared. After triggering the Heavenly Tribulation, he had already made use of the power of the Longevity Tower and the two pseudo-Divine artifacts to flee. As for the Dark Kirin, he would have to take care of himself.

“Four mid-level True Immortals.” Huo Yunlong sighed. “Will we be able to escape?”

“I thought you were going to ask if we should stop to fight them,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.

“That’s suicide.”

“Not necessarily.” The Longevity Tower then appeared in Chen Feng’s hand and waves of faint-yellow halo of light appeared. Next, the starlight around them – formed by the Bedazzling Star Map – sped up, jumping through space again and again to leave the four True Immortals in the dust.

“You’ve grown stronger?” Huo Yunlong grew puzzled.

Chen Feng did not answer. At that very moment, the fifth floor of the Longevity Tower was slowly opening up and wisps of light flowed out from it before fusing with the Longevity Tower [1].

The Longevity Tower’s power rapidly increased.

The fifth floor of the Longevity Tower holds some treasures. There are also some memories there and power left behind by Tower back in his heydays. Now that it has completely opened up, suppressing True Immortals will not be an issue for it. The change to the Longevity Tower also bolstered Chen Feng’s strength. It was his lifebound magic treasure, after all. An increase in strength for either side would result in the increase in strength for the other as well. At that very moment, Chen Feng, who was a starter-level Ascendant Immortal, felt as though he had become like an inflated balloon. His strength skyrocketed. And yet, there was no danger of blowing up from overloading.

Boom!

The fifth floor of the Longevity Tower opened up completely. An aura, containing a most exalted, most ancient and most supreme quality, gushed out from it, causing Chen Feng to tremble with excitement.

Sou!

With a thought from Chen Feng, both he and Huo Yunlong entered the Longevity Tower. As for the two pseudo-Divine artifacts, they were lying silently on the floor in utter submission.

The spiritual objects within the Longevity Tower began changing. The magic treasures there began levelling up and the spiritual herbs within the herbal fields, encompassing an area of a million mu, began growing. Even some of the spirit stones became slightly different. The living creatures inside the Longevity Tower exuded formidable waves of vitality as almost all of them advanced to a higher level. Some were able to advance through several levels in one go without suffering from an unstable foundation.

Chen Feng had become extremely excited. Next, he saw a piece of wood hovering within the fifth floor.

“Longevity Wood.”

Chen Feng’s eyes lit up. This piece of Longevity Wood was at least half a million kilometres long and it contained a concentrated and vigorous life force. The invisible atmosphere of power it exuded caused Chen Feng’s heart to beat violently. He had yet to take a single breath since approaching the piece of Longevity Wood, but the longevity-type primary energy within his body was already affected. It circulated swiftly and vigorously, becoming even stronger with every passing moment.

This is a core part of the Longevity Tree. Tower did not lie to me. Chen Feng was excited. As he cultivated the Longevity Scripture, he needed the Longevity Wood the most. Although the Heavengulping Absorption Technique could ensure that Chen Feng would not be lacking in energy for cultivation, the best energy for him would still be the longevity-type energy within the Longevity Wood.

Chen Feng felt an impulse to rush forward to cultivate on the Longevity Wood. Cultivating there for one day would be the equivalent of cultivating for a hundred days.

However, Chen Feng endured it. He swiftly linked up to the Bedazzling Star Map and longevity energy surged forth like a river into it.

It was unknown just how long this piece of Longevity Wood had been kept inside the Longevity Tower. Even though only wisps of the longevity energy would escape from it every day, the many years it spent there caused the entire space within the fifth floor to be filled with the longevity energy.

Not to be forgotten, inside the Bedazzling Star Map were the cultivators and ordinary humans from Eternal World. Staying inside the pseudo-Divine artifact had already allowed their cultivation speed to rise by leaps and bounds. And now, with the support of the longevity energy, many of the cultivators broke through. Even the ordinary humans became healthier and stronger. Believing it to be a blessing from the Heavens, they knelt down in worship.

“This is longevity energy.” Huo Yunlong was first taken aback. The wounds on his body healed up at record time. However, there was no time for him to become delighted as he focused and began cultivating himself. This was a rare opportunity. He had only just broken through to the True Immortal stage not too long ago. With this longevity energy, he would definitely be able to stabilize his cultivation base.

There is truly a great deal of benefits from following this guy. Perhaps, it will not take long before I advance to the mid-level True Immortal stage as well. Then, when I return to the Immortal Plane, I will also become a powerhouse. Huo Yunlong felt proud.

“Tower, I didn’t think you’d have so many treasures stored inside here.” Chen Feng beckoned and a crystal bottle the size of a palm flew into his hand.

“Paramount Water of Thousand Layers. This is a treasure even amongst divine objects. I can use it to improve the Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin’s power,” Chen Feng said with a smile.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, right after he said that, the crystal bottle in his hand abruptly burst open and the Paramount Water of Thousand Layers surged out like an ocean to disappear the very next instant. The Longevity Tower had completely devoured it.

“Tower, what are you doing?” Chen Feng grew furious.

“I need it,” Tower replied indifferently.

Shaking his head, Chen Feng said nothing else about it. Instead, he suddenly inhaled and the surrounding longevity energy surged into his body. Chen Feng had completely forgotten about the pursuers outside. Instead, he focused whole-heartedly on his cultivation.

In his opinion, the Longevity Tower would surely grow stronger this time, so much stronger. Thus, he could ignore the possibility of his pursuers catching up to them. Rather, even if they did catch up, they would just end up dying.

Not long after Chen Feng began cultivating, the Longevity Sword took the lead in flying out from Chen Feng’s body, followed by the Longevity Blade, Longevity Lance and the other Longevity weapons. At that very moment, they were all low-grade Immortal artifacts. Their strength corresponded to Chen Feng’s cultivation level. That said, they were much stronger compared to the magic treasures on the same level as them.

As Chen Feng continued with his training, the Longevity weapons would constantly fly about. Occasionally, some would fly into Chen Feng’s body, staying still for a moment before flying out again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The various magic treasures stored inside the Longevity Tower, all of varying levels, kept blowing up, transforming into fragments. The essence and power within them fused into the Longevity weapons, complementing the surging streams of longevity energy to accelerate the Longevity weapons’ rate of improvement.

Huh! Will this rate of cultivation become a problem? The thought flashed across Chen Feng’s mind. This rate of cultivation was simply too fast, tens of times faster than the past. That was especially true whenever each of his magic treasures levelled up. His rate of cultivation would become a hundred times greater than before.

However, the thought was swiftly inundated by the increase in his cultivation base. Thinking back to how he had wasted one million years, Chen Feng believed that, no matter how fast his rate of cultivation may be, it was only natural.

A high number of magic treasures disintegrated. At the same time, rare spirit stones, ores and spiritual objects also disintegrated before fusing with the Longevity weapons. This was the Longevity Scripture’s technique for improving the Longevity weapons.

Chen Feng destroyed a total of 300 Immortal artifacts for this. All of them were fused into the Longevity weapons, boosting them to the precipice of reaching the mid-grade Immortal tier. This rate of improvement could already be considered as furiously fast. Even so, Chen Feng remained unsatisfied.

𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Chen Feng had wanted to continue improving the Longevity weapons when his heart suddenly palpitated. The power of darkness within him moved on its own to finally form the semi-transparent silhouette of the Dark Scripture.

So, Senior Dark has succeeded in overcoming his tribulation. Next, Chen Feng linked up with the Longevity Tower to break his way through space and swiftly arrived before the Dark Kirin.

“The mid-level True Immortal stage. Congratulations,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“Now that I possess this level of strength, if I encounter those four cultivators again, I will have them suffer.” The Dark Kirin grinned and waved his hand to open up the Dark Scripture. A black hole then appeared to furiously devour the surrounding power of darkness.

They were already not too far away from the Spiritual Fountain of Darkness.

“Earlier, I had lured away the four cultivators, but I believe it will not take long before they return. Their appearance here is likely not a coincidence, right?” Chen Feng said.

“I can sense that they are native cultivators of the Dark Plane. For them to appear here, they are clearly after me. More accurately, they are after the Dark Scripture,” the Dark Kirin said.

“I was thinking. There is no way the other party would simply choose to not collect the Spiritual Fountain of Darkness. If so, we will likely encounter some more interesting events later.” After saying that, Chen Feng then utilized the Magic Eyes of Darkness. As their surroundings were filled with the power of darkness, the power of Chen Feng’s eye technique could be pushed to its very limits.

“What is this?”

Chen Feng saw only darkness before him as his body buoyed. Surprisingly, he had lost his bearings. Chen Feng then made use of various methods but to no avail. If felt as though his soul was drifting within the deepest part of space, incapable of determining its bearings. More, it had even lost the ability to sense the flow of time.

Loneliness and panic. In that state, there was no difference between one second and billions of years.

Swiftly, however, the surrounding darkness disappeared and Chen Feng recollected himself. His Dark acupoint spun into action to devour all the power of darkness that had invaded his sea of wisdom.

Chen Feng had been so terrified that his body broke out in cold sweat. This was a first for him.

Just now, the Dark Kirin had taken action to pull Chen Feng out from that state.

“Earlier...”

“That’s the Magic Eyes of Darkness.” The Dark Kirin sounded somewhat excited.

“Magic Eyes of Darkness?!” Chen Feng grew even more shocked.

“I had assumed that there is a Spiritual Fountain of Darkness here. Looks like I was wrong. To think that there would be an eye of darkness here. Judging by the earlier aura, the one who left it must be at least a high-level True Immortal or stronger.”

“So, it is an eye left behind by a cultivator who cultivated the power of darkness. Even though I cultivate the Dark Scripture, I had still become lost within the eye technique. No wonder the four cultivators did not collect it. Approaching it would likely mean becoming trapped in darkness for eternity.” Chen Feng was shocked.
