"What's even stranger is Feng Shan's cultivation," Zhao Muzi continued:
"Initially, when I heard of him, he was a Great Power at the Divine Power Tenth Realm, renowned for his cultivation and techniques on Taizhou Mountain, but now his cultivation has fallen to the Heavenly Union Realm."
"That's the reason Tianhe was able to bring him back from the Tianyuan Continent to 'Xunwang Heaven.'"
"Divine Power Tenth Realm?" Chen Yi's face showed some emotion: "Was his cultivation that strong?"
"Indeed, at that time, Feng Shan was truly formidable!" Zhao Muzi sighed:
"Divine Power Tenth Realm, it's rare even now on Taizhou Mountain to see such a Great Power with this cultivation."
Upon hearing what Zhao Muzi said, not only Chen Yi but also Ah Lang and others were equally astonished.
"That crazy old man just now, does he have the Divine Power of the Tenth Realm?" Sword Obsession clicked his tongue: "Truly unexpected."
Qing Feng chimed in: "Each realm is like a world apart, the path of Divine Power isn't something one can breakthrough through sheer hard work."
"Even when I raised the 'Great Dream Scripture' to the Divine Power Realm, the progress slowed significantly, taking ten years to take just the second step."
Saying this, she couldn't help but glance at Chen Yi, thinking to herself that he was a monstrous genius too.
Ah Lang pondered: "So, it's strange that Feng Shan's cultivation has been declining all along, do you know why, Taoist?"
Zhao Muzi shook his head, his hair and beard floating in the wind, and he mused: "Perhaps it is related to the mysterious power of Feng Shan's Divine Skills."
"Feng Shan's Divine Skills are extremely bizarre; regardless of his physical body or Divine Soul being destroyed, he can restore to full health."
Chen Yi realized in his heart and said: "No wonder, after I killed him earlier, he could still survive."
After pondering for a moment, he continued to ask: "Taoist, what do you intend to do with him?"
Zhao Muzi smiled and said: "My fellow disciple and I have confined him in 'Xunwang Heaven,' determined not to let him roam free again."
"Feng Shan, not only is his Divine Skill mysterious, but his actions are mostly erratic; he has caused significant trouble in multiple realms of Taizhou Mountain."
"If it weren't for Tianhe bringing him back, I wouldn't even know he had gone to the Tianyuan Continent."
That's for the best.
Chen Yi said: "Then I won't concern myself with him for the time being."
Since that Mad Old Man is so strange, it's better to let him stay in "Xunwang Heaven," avoiding him jumping out from time to time to cause trouble.
Zhao Muzi nodded, seeing Zhao Tianhe's figure reappear, then waved:
"Let's begin today's ceremonial gathering."
As the words were spoken, a few fruits, a jar of wine, and a portion of crystalline cake appeared in front of everyone.
Zhao Tianhe waved with a smile: "Please, everyone, enjoy without reservation, especially that cake, it's my senior brother's exclusive recipe, and it tastes quite good."
Without further prompt, Qing Feng had already popped the cake into his mouth, his eyes smiled into crescent moons.
"Senior brother is really stingy, how can such a small piece be enough for anyone?"
Chen Yi didn't hold back either, immediately following Qing Feng's example, he tossed the crystalline jade-like cake into his mouth.
Golden light suddenly appeared —
[At forty-six, already in the First-grade Void Extreme Realm, you received the Jade Lotus Seed Cake gifted by a Great Divine Power User.]
[Heavenly fortune, Reversal Points +10, one piece of Jade Lotus Seed Cake.]
[Note 1: As you are currently under the "Divine Power Big Dream Technique," the rewarded Jade Lotus Seed Cake has been placed in the Sumeru Bag.]
[Note 2: The Jade Lotus Seed Cake, made from White Jade Lotus Seeds and nine kinds of millennia flowers, steamed for forty-nine days, enhances the Divine Will in techniques upon consumption.]
[At forty-six, already in the First-grade Void Extreme Realm, you received the Nine Flower Cake gifted by a Great Divine Power User.]
[Heavenly fortune, Reversal Points +3, one piece of Nine Flower Cake.]
[... received Clear Spring Wine gifted by a Great Divine Power User, heavenly fortune, Reversal Points +4, one jar of Clear Spring Wine.]
[... heavenly fortune, Reversal Points +5, one Immortal Peach.]
Besides these ability-enhancing cakes, the rest were items consumed in the previous gathering.
Perhaps having tried them several times, Chen Yi did not feel much improvement after consuming them again.
But he didn't mind.
The enhancement provided by these fruits and cakes was secondary; the most important was—they were Zhao Muzi's bestowed "fortune"!
A single ceremony increased his Reversal Points by 22.
"If I could attend a few more ceremonies, I wouldn't worry about my cultivation and the advancement in the Divine Power Realm."
Soon, Zhao Muzi, as during the last gathering, asked if anyone needed clarification.
Ah Lang was still the first.
"Daoist, I wonder how the Eighth Prince is doing now?"
"A few days ago, I divined for him," Zhao Muzi sighed:
"His journey won't be smooth, but fortunately, there is no danger to his life. He should return from the Netherworld River soon."
Ah Lang's expression relaxed, nodding: "I've been unable to train in that Flame Secret Realm recently, do you have any other recommendations?"
Zhao Muzi replied: "There are two realms, one is my 'Xunwang Heaven', and with your current physical body cultivation, you should be able to withstand the grind of Xun Wind."
"The second is the upper reaches of the Netherworld River, where it meets Taizhou Mountain, a place of fierce danger."
Ah Lang thought for a moment and chose the perilous location instead of the safer 'Xunwang Heaven'.
"Two Void Extreme Realm Blood Cores."
"Owe them..."
"Ah Lang, considering this time, you've already owed quite a bit," Qing Feng smacked his lips and said:
"Next time after training, don't forget to hunt down a few Demon Kings."
Ah Lang smiled and nodded, storing the Jade Scroll Zhao Muzi handed him, then sat to the side savoring Clear Spring Wine.
"What about the others?"
Then Sword Obsession, Xiao Liuer, and Xiao Lan each asked for what they wanted, and Zhao Muzi provided them one by one.
Sword Obsession only wanted to quickly breakthrough the Sword Dao to the Divine Power Realm, so he too sought a secret realm for training.
Xiao Liuer wanted to temper her physical body in 'Xunwang Heaven', and before Zhao Muzi could nod, Qing Feng directly agreed.
Chen Yi just learned that Xiao Liuer was also a cultivator of the Divine Power Realm physical body like Ah Lang, except she was one realm lower than Ah Lang.
And the half-demon Xiao Lan inquired about the cultivation technique she acquired at the last ceremony, and upon receiving the answer, she generously traded a Master Realm Demon Blood Core to Zhao Muzi.
"Mr. Chen, it's your turn."
Chen Yi pondered for a moment and waved his hand to release a trace of Silver White Sword Intent, sketching an intricate 'eagle' character in mid-air.
—It was actually the Divine Secret Skill used by people of 'Extreme Pure Heaven' to control the mind!
"Do any of you recognize this mark?"
Ah Lang, Sword Obsession, and the others scrutinized it but shook their heads, "It looks like an array formation talisman, but I'm not familiar."
Chen Yi specifically glanced at the half-demon, seeing her equally puzzled, he then turned to the two Daoists Zhao Muzi and Zhao Tianhe.
"Ghost Nightmare Divine Power!" Zhao Muzi slightly furrowed his brow, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness, asking:
"Do you know where you saw this mark?"
"I encountered it by chance."
Chen Yi relaxed and added: "Besides the divine power this mark represents, I also wanted to ask Daoist if you have heard of 'Extreme Pure Heaven'?"
"'Extreme Pure Heaven'?" Zhao Muzi thought for a moment, suddenly exchanged glances with Zhao Tianhe, and looked at Chen Yi asking:
"What you mean by 'Extreme Pure Heaven', could it be 'Pure Land of Bliss'?"
Chen Yi hesitated, and said: "I'm not sure, just when I encountered this 'eagle' mark, that person mentioned 'Extreme Pure Heaven'..."
"It's likely them, people of 'Pure Land of Bliss'!" Zhao Tianhe's face darkened, saying:
"Chen Yi, could you tell us what you've discovered? Consider it a trade with me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Muzi waved his hand and placed a grindstone-sized blood core on the table, looking at Chen Yi:
"Regardless of details, just tell us what you know."
Chen Yi looked at the solemn expressions of the two Daoists from 'Xunwang Heaven', then at Ah Lang and others who looked puzzled, asking:
"Can I first ask... do you have a grudge against 'Extreme Pure Heaven', or..."
Zhao Muzi said coldly: "Life and death enemies!"
Qing Feng was taken aback, suspiciously looking at her senior brothers: "Senior brothers, why didn't I know?"
Zhao Tianhe gestured for her to speak later, still fixating on Chen Yi, saying:
"I hope little brother can agree, the 'Pure Land of Bliss' and people of 'Xunwang Heaven' harbor deep grudges; perhaps we will encounter them in the future!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Ah Lang and others grew more serious.
Seeing the expressions of the group, Chen Yi immediately stored the blood core into the Sumeru Bag, and the much reduced space of the Sumeru Bag flashed past.
"Since that's the case, let me tell you about this 'Extreme Pure Heaven'..."
