“Feeling better now?”
“Feeling better.”
Yu Feng washed the blood from his face and stepped out of the dumpling shop.
“Which of your lives since your rebirth has lasted the longest?” Jiang Li asked out of curiosity.
“The time before last, when I broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage. I lived for seven years.”
“You reached the Nascent Soul Stage in just seven years?” Jiang Li was surprised. It was not shocking that Yu Feng had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage. The surprising thing was that Yu Feng, with only three spiritual roots and without his guidance, managed to reach the Nascent Soul Stage in just seven years.
Unless he didn’t focus on his foundation and recklessly sought new realms.
Yu Feng explained awkwardly, “After all, the higher the realm, the fewer death tribulations I encounter. I wanted to become strong as soon as possible so that I wouldn’t reincarnate again.”
He had tried to change the death cycle of his parents, villagers, and friends with each rebirth, but without success. After a while, he stopped trying to change things, avoided conflicts whenever he could, and finally reached the Nascent Soul Stage, only to be unfortunately injured and have to start all over again.
Yu Feng thought that he would be stuck in a continuous cycle of reincarnation, experiencing death again and again until the end of time. Jiang Li’s presence, however, showed him that he didn’t need to escape all the time, that things could be changed.
He was sincerely grateful to Jiang Li.
The old woman was the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who should have resisted the tide of beasts. Now that the tide of beasts had disappeared, the Foundation Establishment Stage had disappeared as well. The horse bandits were gone, the village was saved, and Yu Feng’s memories of the future had turned upside down.
“You can’t go on like this. If you don’t lay a good foundation and rush to breakthrough, eventually, you will find that cultivation becomes increasingly difficult and ultimately you will only reach as far as the Divinity Transformation Stage.”
“Isn’t the Divinity Transformation Stage strong enough?”
“Can you guess how many cultivators from the Body Integration Realm would bear you malice based on your luck?”
Yu Feng didn’t guess. Even if there was just one Body Integration Realm cultivator who didn’t like him, he would have to start over again.
Half a year passed. Under Jiang Li’s guidance, Yu Feng made rapid progress and successfully became a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In that half-year, Yu Feng faced numerous perils.
For example, he couldn’t just drink well water when he was thirsty. The well was home to a demon beast who would devour anyone who came to fetch water.
Yu Feng poisoned the well water, killed the demon beast, and sealed the well. This saved the people who would have come after him.
There was another time where Yu Feng was sleeping in a tree in the forest at night, and a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, who didn’t sleep, was hunting demons in the forest and almost killed him.
When the other person saw that Yu Feng had almost died under his sword, he didn’t apologize. Instead, he felt that Yu Feng was in his way, grunted coldly, and left the forest.
“Elder Jiang, is this the direction?”
“Yes.”
Yu Feng was heading towards a treacherous place plagued by miasma all year round, which had lots of heavenly treasures that were helpful for Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Cultivation Stage.
Even though the treasures were good, this place was dangerous. Without the right methods, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who entered here would surely die.
Having just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Yu Feng needed some medicinal herbs to stabilize his realm. This dangerous place had what Yu Feng needed.
A beautiful figure swept past Yu Feng, causing him to be momentarily stunned and blurt out.
“Sister?”
The woman thought Yu Feng was calling her and turned her head to look. When she found that she didn’t know him, she continued on her way.
“Wake up, wake up.” Jiang Li waved his hand in front of Yu Feng’s eyes, and after a long while, he finally came back to his senses.
“You know her?”
“Yes, her name is Wu Lian. She was my senior sister.”
Yu Feng explained that he used to have a master, and Wu Lian was his senior sister in that sect.
Wu Lian always cared about this junior brother and would always save him the best things for him. Seeing Yu Feng frowning all day long, she approached him like an older sister, comforting him, which moved Yu Feng greatly and gave him a lot of warmth.
Unfortunately, their good times didn’t last long. Their sect was destroyed, their master killed, the disciples scattered and fled. Neither Wu Lian nor Yu Feng could escape that disaster.
Yu Feng had tried to change their fate, but found that he couldn’t change the destiny of their master or Wu Lian.
“If possible, I hope Senior Sister Wu Lian can live.” Yu Feng said firmly.
Jiang Li pondered for a moment, “Do you like her?”
“Cough, cough, it’s more like admiration, it’s called admiration.”
“Oh.”
“Wait, stop moving forward.” Jiang Li suddenly called out to Yu Feng.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Feng was confused.
Jiang Li pointed to the sky, then to the front, “There are Body Integration Realm cultivators fighting in space, causing a meteorite to fall from the sky, it’s going to hit over there.”
“What? This kind of thing has never happened before!” Yu Feng was greatly alarmed.
Although he had never been here, he had heard of this dangerous place. How could a meteorite fall in the future?
“We must have done something to trigger a series of events, resulting in a meteorite falling here.”
Jiang Li was speechless, he couldn’t believe they’d stumbled upon a meteorite fall.
He saw two Body Integration Realm cultivators battling, one practiced the Blood River Technique, and the other was skilled in poison.
“We should run… no, Sister Wu Lian is still over there!”
Just as Yu Feng was about to run away, he remembered that Sister Wu Lian was up ahead. Faced with the meteorite, Wu Lian was doomed!
He had to save her!
“Senior Jiang, can we go save Sister Wu Lian?”
“We should.” Jiang Li nodded. The meteorite incident was caused by them indirectly even if not directly. If the girl whom Yu Feng likes dies for this reason, Yu Feng would feel guilty all his life.
Hearing this, Yu Feng immediately hastened his pace.
“Wu Lian… the senior up ahead, please wait.” Yu Feng wanted to call Sister Wu Lian, but then remembered he had not yet joined the sect and did not know Sister Wu Lian, so he called her senior instead.
Sister Wu Lian was at the Golden Core Stage.
Noticing Yu Feng’s call, Wu Lian stopped, wondering what this junior cultivator wanted.
Jiang Li went invisible.
“What’s the matter?” Wu Lian had excellent hearing. She heard Yu Feng change his way of addressing midway, which made Yu Feng seem very strange to her.
“Senior, a meteorite will fall soon. Please hurry and leave this place.”
“Meteorite?” Wu Lian looked up, the sky was clear, showing no signs of a fallen meteorite.
At this time, the meteorite was still too far away for Wu Lian to see.
“Yes, I have cultivated a technique that can sense fortune and disaster, and turn misfortune into good luck. Now I sense a meteorite falling.”
When someone suddenly tells you that catastrophe is imminent, and that person’s cultivation level is lower than yours, of course, Wu Lian did not believe what Yu Feng said.
Seeing that Sister Wu Lian didn’t believe him, Yu Feng clenched his teeth and said, “In quarter of an hour, if no meteorite falls, I will accept whatever punishment you decide.”
Yu Feng spoke with sincere feelings. Wu Lian, half-believing, left the place with him and fled far away.
Ten minutes later, Wu Lian saw a fiery meteorite streaking across the sky, flying towards here.
Seeing this, Wu Lian grabbed Yu Feng and sped away.
“Senior…”
“Don’t speak, or you’ll bite your tongue!”
Five minutes later, the meteorite crashed to the earth with light and fire, making a thunderous rumbling noise, and bring up a huge wave of dust.
Wu Lian used a spell to cover herself and Yu Feng, neglecting all formalities, huddled together, as the dust and rocks whistled past them, which was particularly terrifying.
“Senior…”
“I know you were right, you don’t have to keep emphasizing it!”
“No, what I want to say is, why don’t we dig a hole and hide?”
