38 I Want To Visit The Eternal Peak

"Is something wrong, senior?" Jia Changxun asked, slightly confused upon seeing Tian Yongheng suddenly look up at the sky.

"No, it's nothing. Continue with your own things, I'll be going back to cultivate now." He replied as he waved his hand, indicating for Jia Changxun to leave.

Although Tian Yongheng didn't say it, he knew that something was wrong. A Cultivator's intuition wasn't a coincidence like normal mortals.

Any good or bad feeling they had was similar to a revelation that something was bound to happen, be it either a calamity or fortuitous encounter. This was specially true for high level cultivators.

Jia Changxun stood up and bowed to him before leaving without saying a word. He also knew that he shouldn't question the actions and words of a Acquired Realm expert as a mere Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.

Tian Yongheng, on the other hand, couldn't help but ponder over the reason why he was feeling so uneasy.

He shook his head, all his thoughts vanishing as he came to a conclusion; the only reason for feeling uneasy is because he's too weak right now!

I have to quickly cultivate and increase both my strength and lifespan!

Ominous signs? They don't matter if one is powerful enough!

With that, he once again went into his cave abode to continue cultivating.

...

At this moment, the entire Yan Immortal Dynasty and all the Acquired Realm forces were in turmoil.

"An Acquired Realm expert died mysteriously without any traces and this news was delayed for so long!? Do you take me, Emperor of the Yan Immortal Dynasty, for a fool!?" Yan Zhangwei roared angrily, causing all the Acquired Realm cultivators in the court room to shudder in fear.

No matter how small Yan Zhangwei's status was in front of the three sects of the Yan Dynasty, he was still the Yan Emperor and a powerhouse at the Eighth Stage of Acquired Realm. To most Acquired Realm and below factions, he was a behemoth they couldn't dare to offend.

The inexplicable death of a Acquired Realm cultivator was a huge blow to not just the Yan Dynasty, but also other factions that were under them. Not to mention that the cultivator who died was a part of the group that was chasing after the final remnant of their enemies from a bygone age they had long forgotten about.

Was it caused by a traitor? Was the person they were chasing after too powerful? Did he have a breakthrough in his cultivation?

Countless thoughts flashed across their minds in a split second.

"Huuu...go and inform all the factions to be careful from now on. The instant they sense an abnormality, they should contact the Yan Dynasty through the Communication Jade." Yan Zhangwei instructed as he sighed, furrowing his brows.

All the people present left immediately, and soon, only Yan Zhangwei was left in the court room.

"How could this be...has that person from more than a thousand years ago really broken through? What realm is he at now? We know absolutely nothing...if he has entered the Innate Realm, then I'm afraid we can't do anything unless the supreme elders of the three sects intervene...it's really too much trouble." He muttered under his breath, a worried expression occupying his face as his brows furrowed even more.

At this moment, Yan Jingfei's graceful steps were heard in the court room. She appeared in front of him and bowed respectfully.

Her aura was much stronger than before, indicating that she had broken through to the Seventh Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.

Seeing his daughter, Yan Zhangwei was stunned for a bit before his lips curled up into a warm smile, his brows relaxing.

"Fei'er, you seem to have broken through really fast this time. It has not even been 20 years since your last breakthrough. Did you not encounter a bottleneck?" He asked, waving his hand.

Out of all of his 7 children, Yan Zhangwei adored Yan Jingfei the most. Her mother, who was also Yan Zhangwei's fourth and last concubine, was a mortal. She died just after Yan Jingfei was born.

Although Yan Zhangwei was both the ruler of an immortal dynasty and a cultivator, he was not like many other cultivators who were cold and indifferent even to their loved ones. He liked Yan Jingfei's mother very much, and did not want Yan Jingfei to feel lonely just because she was not with her.

That's why he always tried to give her as much fatherly love as possible, never saying no to any of her wishes.

"No, father. I got sudden enlightenment and made a breakthrough." Yan Jingfei replied as she stood up, hiding the fact that she could breakthrough so fast because she had already surpassed the Foundation Establishment Realm in her past life.

If one had already cultivated to the Immortal Ascension Realm once before, then even if they were reincarnated, their foundations would not be damaged and they could quickly recultivate to the same level. That was the reason why so many regressors, transmigrators and similar Chosen Ones could cultivate faster than the rest.

As for the reason why Chosen Ones who did not have any memories of their past lives and such could cultivate so quickly?

Opportunities. They had great providence, which allowed them to encounter great opportunities every time they went out, even if it was just to take a walk.

However, one had to be careful in that aspect too. Their foundations would be very unstable if they cultivated too rapidly, unless they had the perfect Constitution, Bloodline and Innate Talents.

This was the main reason why so many Chosen Ones fell after reaching a high level. They had simply cultivated too fast for their foundations to be stable enough.

But even these cases could be prevented with the help of higher powers, as the saying goes; All tricks are meaningless in the face of absolute strength.

Looking at her father, Yan Jingfei could not help but feel emotional.

In her past life, when the Yan Immortal Dynasty was on the verge of collapse and all her older siblings had already died, her father secretly told her the location of the Golden Core Realm cultivator's cave abode despite the opposition of the Innate Realm supreme elders of the three sects.

Had it not been for that, she would've also died at that time.

Things will no longer be the same. With me knowing the future...no, not just me. With the help of that mighty figure...

Father, I'll definitely protect you and the Yan Dynasty in this life!

She quietly vowed in her heart, her eyes showing a hint of determination.

"Father, I want to visit the Eternal Peak."

...

Southern Continent.

In a forest located in the middle of nowhere, demon beasts roamed around. there was a small cave inside the depths of the forest.

Suddenly, a young man looking to be in his early twenties stepped out of the cave, his upper body nude. His facial features were better than average and he had a muscular and toned physique.

He looked harmless on the outside, but his presence was comparable to that of an Acquired Realm cultivator's despite him only being at the Third Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.

He was Zhu Dong, the Chosen One and the reincarnation of the Myriad Paths Divine King.
