A couple of years later.
Tian Yongheng was immersed in his cultivation before he felt a familiar presence outside of Eternal Peak.
He got up and flew out of the cave abode, his gaze landing on the crowd of disciples doing their own things. During this period of time, the Sword Seeking Sect had completely submerged into the Eternal Peak and become its subordinate force.
More and more elite and outstanding disciples of the Sword Seeking Sect joined the Eternal Peak while most of their resources including some precious spells, arts and techniques were now also under the Eternal Peak.
Tian Yongheng didn’t deny these things, but he couldn’t just simply take from them without giving back anything, and thus, in addition to his protection, even the people of Sword Seeking Sect who were not disciples of the Eternal Peak could cultivate there and enjoy the rich and dense Spirit Qi.
Right now, there were more than a hundred disciples in the Eternal Peak. Around half of them were in the Acupoint Opening Stage while the other half in the early and mid stages of the Qi Condensation Realm, including Jia Changxun and Feng Zhen. There were also a few of them who were in the later stages of Qi Condensation Realm.
The main point was not their strength, it was their skills. They were all multi talented individuals, some of them well-versed in alchemy, some in formations and arrays, some in artifact refining, some in talisman refining, some in management and many more.
If they were here, then Tian Yongheng wouldn’t have to worry about the finances and resources of the Eternal Peak and he could just focus on his own cultivation. As they grew stronger, they could handle many things that he alone could not.
That was one of the main reasons why he established the Eternal Peak.
At this moment, he arrived outside of the Eternal Peak and saw Yan Jingfei there. Seeing him, she hurriedly bowed and payed her respects.
"Disciple greets master!"
"There’s no need for such formalities. Let’s go in." He replied as he waved his hand, a vortex of Spiritual Energy enveloping around Yan Jingfei as she was brought in immediately.
They stood outside of Tian Yongheng’s cave abode. Yan Jingfei couldn’t help but notice that the Spirit Qi here had increased yet again. Not just that, she also noticed that the geographical structure of the entire mountain range had undergone a huge change.
The hills and mountains were now taller and wider, rivers and ponds had become deeper, forests had stretched out and trees had also grown taller and thicker. Even the entire area of the Dao Field had expanded to around 20 miles.
It was a known fact that the more Spirit Qi a certain area had, the more prosperous it would become.
Suddenly, Tian Yongheng asked, "Are you cultivating the cultivation technique of the Yan Dynasty or have you already recovered the memories of that Immortal Goddess’ inheritance from your past life?"
"Master, although I don’t fully remember it, but I’ve indeed recalled some of its contents and have also switched to it from my original cultivation technique of the Yan Dynasty. I believe that I’ll recover it completely as my cultivation rises." She replied, looking up expectantly.
Master was an ancient Immortal God in his past life, if I can learn even a little bit from him, then I can surely surpass my prime in no time at all!
She thought, her eyes glistening with excitement.
Tian Yongheng saw right through her and sighed inwardly.
I can fool her by saying that I don’t have much memories of my past life, but she was also a powerful figure in the past!
She will undoubtedly find some flaws in my deception, which I can’t avoid, but at the same time, I can’t teach her my cultivation technique. Should I just teach her a spell or something like that?
After contemplating for a while, he finally decided to teach Yan Jingfei the Golden Lotus Heavenly Rain.
"I’m going to teach you a spell, so comprehend it carefully." He spoke calmly.
At his words, Yan Jingfei nodded multiple times excitedly.
She sat in a lotus position, waiting eagerly.
Finally, I can also become strong!
He came closer to her and pressed his index finger lightly between her brows, his Spiritual Energy flooding inside of her Sea of Consciousness with the knowledge of the Golden Lotus Heavenly Rain spell.
Yan Jingfei was taken aback a bit, seeing Tian Yongheng’s handsome face up close, her cheeks flushed red and her thoughts started to run wild.
"Focus." He reminded her.
"Yes..? Yes!" She immediately started to gather her thoughts and focused on comprehending the Golden Lotus Heavenly Rain spell.
Some time later, she couldn’t help but be astonished at the spell.
Using the power of Providence and combining it with the heaven and earth itself...
Such profoundness!
She had never seen or heard of anything like the Golden Lotus Heavenly Rain. It was actually way harder for her to cultivate and understand this spell than it was to completely comprehend the inheritance from her past life!
It is worthy of being called master’s inheritance!
At this moment, Tian Yongheng lightly flicked his finger at Yan Jingfei’s forehead, bringing her back to reality.
"You should go and comprehend this spell now alongside your cultivation. Build a cultivation place for yourself anywhere you deem suitable." He spoke.
"Yes, master!" Yan Jingfei stood up and bowed slightly, cupping her fists and then left.
Tian Yongheng just stood there for a few moments. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
"I should also go back to my cultivation..."
...
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit hall somewhere far away.
A beautiful woman looking to be in her early-thirties with a seductive and graceful figure was sitting on a high platform in a lotus position, her eyes only slightly open.
"...Is that all you know about him?"
Her mature and alluring voice resounded throughout the hall.
"Y-yes, Chamber Master. That is all the information I have managed to obtain. Please give me some more time, I’ll make sure to provide useful information this time round." Replied a middle aged man in a shaky and nervous tone of voice, sitting in front of her.
"How much more time do you need? More than 10 of our Acquired Realm cultivators including a soon-to-be Innate Realm expert all died in the hands of a single person. When was the last time such a power appeared around here?"
"Ten...no, please give me five more years! I won’t let you down, no matter what!"
"You have twenty years. Find out everything about that person, including his origins and background. Now go!"
Immediately afterwards, the man hurriedly left the hall after standing up and bowing for one last time.
At this moment, she emerged from the hall, looking down the mountain on which the hall was situated. There was fog surrounding the entire mountain.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional. Some of the Acquired Realm cultivators who died this time were her past fellow disciples.
She still remembered how they all used to meet whenever they had time to discuss various things and went to do missions together. That was when they were still newbie cultivators in the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment Realms.
However, they stopped doing that after they reached Acquired Realm and she, Su Yanlan was appointed as a candidate to be the Luminous Jade Chamber’s next Chamber Master. They were simply too busy and had many responsibilities to be idling around.
"Sigh...it’s already been a thousand years since then, huh?" She sighed softly, turning around and going back into the hall.
