Chapter 2657: Chapter 2649: The Reverse Strike

After knowing Ji Niang’s deduction result, True Sage Liu He was a bit impatient, "We need to go back soon, there are some treasures to gather, and we can’t afford any delay."

Glancing at Feng Jun, he had the impulse to take this person back to the Green Lotus Sect for another round of deductions—Ji Niang was not only his disciple but also his Dao companion. Wouldn’t it be better to increase the success rate by a few points?

But after another look at the two True Lords and considering the legends about Feng Jun, he shook his head, forcibly suppressing that impulse, silently blaming himself: After all, being a True Sage for too long, everything being smooth sailing, he had grown accustomed to being oblivious to others.

After thanking them again, he, with True Immortal Ji Niang, floated away.

Everyone watched them leave in silence, and for a moment, no one spoke.

Feng Jun felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he nodded towards True Immortal Cang Jing, "Elder Cang Jing, farewell."

"Farewell for what?" Elder Cang Jing grabbed Yi Jue’s arm, "Aren’t we going to the White Qi Realm? Count me in."

"But I..." Feng Jun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "We have business, why are you joining in the excitement?"

Cang Jing knew he was determined, only glancing at Yi Jue, "As sisters... the White Qi Realm also has my Xuanshui branch, you know that."

Yi Jue hesitated a bit because of the Soul Exit Pill matter; she always felt she owed Cang Jing something, "Mountain Master Feng... is it urgent?"

Feng Jun hesitated, looked at the two True Lords, "For the first task, only one of you needs to go, rotate for the next one."

Upon hearing this, the two people’s eyes lit up and without hesitation, they spoke in unison, "I’ll go!"

Then they turned their heads to look at each other, after a while, they both said, "Then let’s go together."

"Together... isn’t that a waste?" Feng Jun frowned, "Each person can only count half a time... This is not me being harsh."

Each having three tasks, making it six tasks in total, so if they went together, it could only count as half a task.

The two True Lords simultaneously expressed, "No problem."

"Then let’s go," Feng Jun took out his mobile phone, and the others followed suit, assuming the familiar posture—as if taking the bus for a long time, everyone knew what it was like to board.

The next moment, they arrived in the White Qi Realm. Feng Jun stood thinking for a while, then took out his mobile phone and swiped it twice, raising a hand to point in a direction, "Go over there... no need for speed."

Xuanyuan Buqi wrapped around him and set off, Qian Zhong looked at Yi Jue and Cang Jing, wrapped them up and followed suit.

The five people flew and stopped intermittently, occasionally changing directions, flying for eight to nine hours, covering almost two million miles. As night fell, Xuanyuan Buqi suggested resting, "The dangers here are not small, let’s not travel at night."

In fact, everyone felt it; along the way, there were indeed some formidable presences nearby. Although everyone was not afraid, it was, after all, just a domain. If Yi Jue and Cang Jing made a move, they might not handle it, but if the two True Lords made a move, the domain might be destroyed.

Therefore, the travel was stop-and-go mainly to avoid these presences.

Feng Jun released a Nascent Soul Pedestrian, inviting everyone in to rest. His Pedestrian was slightly lower in grade, not as good as Yi Jue’s, but Yi Jue was Qianxiu, her Pedestrian wasn’t accustomed to hosting Qianxiu, and Cang Jing had similar issues.

He took out wine and tea to entertain everyone. Xuanyuan Buqi disdained his wine and took out his own, while Qian Zhong offered his own tea. They chatted and bragged as they drank.

Xuanyuan Buqi requested to increase speed tomorrow, otherwise, it was too slow, while Yi Jue said increasing speed wasn’t possible, as this was just a domain, and going too fast might cause spatial tearing.

"True Lords have their own methods," this time, Qian Zhong surprisingly supported Xuanyuan Buqi, "just trust us."

However, her words drew Feng Jun’s opposition, "True Lords’ methods are too ostentatious, let’s take it slowly, the White Qi Realm isn’t that big."

As soon as he spoke, no one opposed, but Xuanyuan Buqi asked, "How far is it to the destination?"

Feng Jun pondered and answered, "It’s just a feeling, I’m not exactly sure myself, maybe one or two days."

This really couldn’t be blamed on him for being perfunctory, as the Big Boss couldn’t remember the exact location either.

Indeed, there was another secret stash here, but the Big Boss said that although its level wasn’t low, they still couldn’t guarantee if there was a Soul Exit Pill.

This drove Feng Jun a bit crazy, "I say, opening secret stashes is really a test of a person’s mind. Each time they see me open a stash, there comes a time when they can’t resist."

"The Defense Talisman around your neck, is it just for show?" The Big Boss dismissed it with a question, then added, "It’s not just that my memory is bad, it’s really that the Soul Exit Pill is such low-grade stuff... I wouldn’t use it myself, not worth remembering."

Listen to that, can you get any more pretentious? Feng Jun couldn’t help but say, "Then let’s not mess with this hidden treasure first, okay?"

"Why not?" The Yin Spirits opposed his suggestion, "Even if there’s no Soul Exit Pill, maybe there are better things, just sell them one or two pieces, can’t that work?"

"In that case, I’ll become a walking human treasury," Feng Jun couldn’t help but gripe, "Who do you think can protect me?"

"It’s simple," The Big Boss said easily, "First, control the spread; second, develop a community of interests... As long as you have value, if someone harms you, there’ll be someone to protect you. In your Earth Realm, is the President always the most capable fighter?"

"Twisted logic," Feng Jun didn’t take its words seriously, but to say it’s completely wrong isn’t fair either, much like when he enticed the two True Sages, isn’t that also a risk?

Anyway, Feng Jun said he’d find it in a day or two, and he actually did. Just after noon the next day, the Big Boss found the location, "Right there, the range of four peaks, go straight over... Hey hey, why are you turning?"

"Stop, don’t turn," Feng Jun called out to Xuanyuan Bu Qi, "It’s within those four peaks."

"Seriously? You sure know how to pick places," Xuanyuan Bu Qi’s face turned a bit pale, "Inside are two Yin Spirits at the Emergence Stage, I’m not sure if I could handle it without messing up the domain."

The Spiritual Energy in the White Qi Realm is relatively dense, but the domain barrier isn’t much stronger than Kunhao. In fact, most domain strengths are similar, and Divine Spirit True Sages... basically all have the ability to destroy a domain.

Qian Zhong saw the two stop, so he also halted, and upon hearing their conversation, his face slightly darkened, "Two Yin Spirits at the Emergence Stage, that’s tough, if we break through the domain, we’ll have consequences to bear."

Feng Jun found it odd, "Aren’t you two seniors True Sages, can’t you control your power?"

"It’s not about controlling power," Qian Zhong said helplessly, "The problem is, the opponent are two Yin Spirits... If they were Emergence Stage cultivators, we wouldn’t be afraid, but controlling Yin Spirits at the Emergence Stage is too tricky."

This time, even Yi Jue spoke up in agreement, "Yin Spirits’ abilities are really uncanny, maybe you haven’t witnessed... can’t underestimate them."

I haven’t witnessed Yin Spirits? Feng Jun felt like laughing but ultimately stayed quiet, lost in thought.

But the two True Sages didn’t leave, instead quietly discussed how to deal with the two Yin Spirits.

The best way to handle Yin Spirits is obviously Thunder Techniques, followed by pure yang energy, and then fire techniques. Unfortunately, neither True Sage is adept at these... they’re both strong but really don’t have targeted attack methods.

Fortunately, both True Sages warned early, the stopping point was still seventy or eighty thousand miles from those four peaks, not too worried about being discovered by the opposition.

"The Profound Ice Technique seems applicable too," Qian Zhong turned to look at True Immortal Cang Jing, "As long as you grasp Absolute Deep Cold, it should be enough... Does your Xuanshui Sect have a branch here?"

"Absolute Deep Cold is a Divine Skill," Cang Jing looked frustrated, thinking what does "should be enough" mean? Divine Skills are at least for those at the Emergence Stage to master, "Our Elder here should primarily focus on the Instant Water Technique."

The Instant Water Technique, also called Bind Water Technique, water is soft but can be compressed and attacked rapidly, proven an invincible force. Not many practice this technique, but more than those mastering Absolute Deep Cold.

The reason is there’s no other choice, the former only requires rule mastery and a bit of insight, then it can be attempted. But the latter... requires a similar Profound Ice Physique, which is extremely rare, rarer than Yu Qingzhu’s Profound Yin Physique.

Speaking off-topic, with rigorous practice, the Profound Yin Physique might develop the Divine Skill Absolute Deep Cold, but the success rate is far lower than a Profound Ice Physique.

As for whether Cang Jing revealed the primary cultivation direction of the domain’s Elder? It’s not a big deal, even with so much hidden, cultivation at a certain level, by countless encounters, the primary direction is well-known worldwide.

What’s truly important are the trump cards—those must not be leaked. In fact... Cang Jing didn’t even know the Elder’s trump cards.

"This is troublesome," Qian Zhong smacked his lips in frustration, turning to Xuanyuan Bu Qi, "I remember your family has methods for Primal Chaos Qi, why haven’t you learned them well?"

Xuanyuan Bu Qi rolled his eyes, "Isn’t Mysterious Elemental Annihilation impressive? When it comes to killing, it’s far more efficient than Primal Chaos Qi."

"It won’t work on Yin Spirits," Qian Zhong replied nonchalantly, "Or, while Mountain Master Feng is here, find a junior adept in Primal Chaos Qi from your family?"

My family used to have them, Xuanyuan Bu Qi thought particularly grieved but unsuitable to reveal his family’s plight, could only say, "With that time, better let Mountain Master Feng find Luan Xiong... Jinwu Sect’s cultivation techniques counter Yin Spirits the best."

He hurriedly tried to evade, but made a big mistake, Qian Zhong got angry hearing this, "Are you sure you want to involve the Jinwu Sect?"

Xuanyuan Bu Qi shivered at these words, momentarily overwhelmed with emotion—a classic case of "hunting geese all day, only for the geese to attack my eyes."

Right then, Feng Jun coughed lightly, "Two seniors, I actually have a suggestion... Are you worried about controlling your power?"
