“I welcome all of you. You’ve made the right choice,” Chen Feng said smilingly. He was feeling overjoyed to hear that. When the chaos first erupted, Chen Feng, who saw tens of millions of water yaos rushing forward, had thought that a large-scale war would break out. In fact, East Dragon Island’s side had already set up a perimeter. Should a war erupt, however, East Dragon Island would surely suffer from considerable casualties. Chen Feng himself had already come up with some plans for the war. Unexpectedly, the situation would suddenly change. In Chen Feng’s opinion, this was the best possible outcome.
The four great Yao Overlords aside, there were also tens of Ascendant Immortals within this force. With this, the East Dragon Island Alliance’s strength had nearly doubled. If Chen Feng was willing to bring out the capital needed for it, he could even allow the water yaos to grow stronger quickly.
At that moment, East Dragon Island’s sphere of influence only reached a distance of 2.5 million kilometres into the ocean. However, by adding this force into East Dragon Island’s strength, its sphere of influence would rise up to a distance of 15 million kilometres or more. Naturally, a transitional period would be needed before that. Additionally, there were also other forces involved here. In Chen Feng’s opinion, though, given how strong the East Dragon Island Alliance was presently, it should have no issues reigning supreme in the ocean region.
Only, thinking about that reminded Chen Feng of the True Immortal’s clone that they had encountered in the far-ocean region. Due to that, Chen Feng’s inflamed heart immediately cooled down.
Heavenly Firmaments Palace has the Demon Plane’s Demon Emperor and the Poison Plane has the clone of a True Immortal. Even that pocket dimension in the Western Regions has a True Immortal. Heh! Although East Dragon Island has many cultivators, even a good number of experts amongst the cultivators, there are none that could actually fight against a True Immortal. If we are to get into a fight, our side will surely suffer. We managed to kill off a True Immortal from the Immortal Plane back then using that technique, but it will not be as easy next time. Chen Feng pondered.
Forget it! Thinking too much about it is pointless. I’ll just have to deal with it when the time comes. If it really comes down to it, I will just set up another Great Heavenstealing Technique. This is not a bad idea. Only, proper planning is required. It would be bad if I end up luring over the experts. Although the East Dragon Island Alliance’s strength was growing stronger, Chen Feng felt only more pressure.
Given the current situation, all he could do was to boost the East Dragon Island Alliance’s strength as fast as he could. The fastest way of doing so would be to steal the power of the Immortal Plane. Naturally, stealing the power of the various Celestial Planes would be even better. Only, the consequences of doing so was beyond the present Chen Feng.
Last time, we brought a True Immortal over. If we end up bringing a True Immortal over as well this time, with the strength that East Dragon Island’s side currently possesses, we should have no issues coming up with a plan to kill the True Immortal. Only, I am afraid that an even stronger force would appear.
“What are you thinking about?” Bi Qing, who was also there, noticed the look on Chen Feng’s face and he could not stop himself from asking.
Chen Feng then informed Bi Qing of what he was thinking. Hearing that, Bi Qing pondered the issue in detail for a moment. “While it is risky, it is worth trying. However, we do need to plan this thoroughly. Given the East Dragon Island Alliance’s present level of strength, by concentrating our power, killing off a True Immortal will be easy.”
Despite having thought about that, Chen Feng did not immediately put the plan into action. Instead, he sent forward a high number of men to help the tens of millions of water yaos who came over from the far-ocean region. Thanks to the deterring presence of the four great Yao Overlords, everything proceeded smoothly and no unrest broke out.
There were many islands in the ocean region, enough to serve as residences for the water yaos. The Yao Immortals swept aside the surface forces there.
However, the water yaos preferred living in the bottom of the ocean. More, some felt that they had been too hasty in running away. Add the fact that the cultivators from the Poison Plane had seemingly left, a good number of the water yaos chose to return in the end.
An ocean region spanning a distance of tens of millions of li and tens of millions of water yaos. Arranging everything for them would take quite some time.
Liu Wuxiang had already finished setting up the magic arrays to link up with his group in the Immortal Plane. By the time Chen Feng arrived at the island that Liu Wuxiang’s group was residing, hundreds of cultivators had already come over from the Immortal Plane.
Liu Wuxiang possessed his own force in the Immortal Plane. Although it was not a regular sect, it could also be considered as a formidable force. The ones that came over were all Human Immortals and Earthen Immortals. According to Liu Wuxiang, he could bring 100,000 men over this time. Amongst them, 1,000 were Earthen Immortals while the rest were Human Immortals.
Chen Feng was not particularly shocked to hear that. In the Immortal Plane, Human Immortals were but low-level cultivators. They were the equivalent of Sky Human stage cultivators who would fly all over the skies in Eternal World.
Although they did not have a single Ascendant Immortal, the cultivators from the Immortal Plane generally had stronger combat powers than cultivators from Eternal World. Thus, these 100,000 cultivators from the Immortal Plane was a considerable force for Chen Feng. Some of the Earthen Immortals could even directly face Ascendant Immortals.
After the cultivators from the Immortal Plane were done teleporting over, Chen Feng quickly left. Some men would be sent over to help make arrangements for them. On Chen Feng’s end, he had – by observing the cultivators who came over – managed to figure out some clues. They gave off the atmosphere of bandits. With that, Chen Feng was able to make some speculations about this Blissful Island that Liu Wuxiang spoke of.
For East Dragon Island, having more of such allies was a good thing. The more, the better. Besides, it was just a matter of time before they ascended to the Immortal Plane. Thus, forming connections with those from the Immortal Plane was a necessity.
East Dragon Island became a very lively place. In the beginning, there was an alliance with the ten million plus blood cultivators. After that, came an alliance with tens of millions of water yaos. And then came another 100,000 cultivators from the Immortal Plane. East Dragon Island’s strength developed rapidly, gaining itself several more Ascendant Immortals in the process. As for Earthen Immortals and Human Immortals, their number rose with every passing day.
However, due to the high number of cultivators there, the rate of consumption for East Dragon Island’s immortal energy rose up as well. That was especially due to the deepening of ties with its allies. Prince Blood Edge had also sent a group of blood cultivators over to cultivate in East Dragon Island. At any rate, the cultivation environment of East Dragon Island was much better compared to that of the Sky Pillars Mountain Range.
Hundreds of millions of cultivators were absorbing the immortal energy every day. Add the high number of breakthroughs involved, the rate of consumption grew even higher. In fact, it had become several times greater than Chen Feng’s expectations. That was also why Chen Feng was thinking of extracting immortal energy from the Immortal Plane again.
On the other hand, Heavenly Firmaments Palace had remained quiet. It even completely stopped all its expansion efforts. East Dragon Island sent forth a group of cultivators to secretly investigate the situation only to return empty-handed. Rather, one of their Ascendant Immortals was wounded there.
In the beginning, Chen Feng had wanted to personally investigate the issue. However, there were simply too many issues that he had to deal with in East Dragon Island. It was such that Chen Feng found himself incapable of diverting too much of his attention away. He instead relegated the matter to his subordinates. As for him, he worked together with Bi Qing to study the Great Heavenstealing Array.
This was due to the stroke of inspiration he had obtained by watching Liu Wuxiang. Liu Wuxiang was able to so easily come over from the Immortal Plane and bring over so many cultivators along. This meant that the restrictions of the Heavenly dao had loosened greatly. Due to that, cultivators from other worlds would be able to charge into Eternal World. In Chen Feng’s opinion, this was the best time to establish a link with the Immortal Plane.
Just as Chen Feng was about to start setting up the Great Heavenstealing Array, Bi Qing said, “Let’s not rush this. I recently made contact with a friend. When the time comes, he should be able to help out.”
“A friend? Is he reliable?” Chen Feng asked hesitantly. Back then, Bi Qing was a Heavenly Immortal. If so, his friend’s strength was unlikely to be much lower than that. When dealing with a power that far exceeded his, Chen Feng displayed caution.
“Reliable. He is also a Heavenly Immortal. He will be sending his clone over. This fellow is someone who had gone through life and death with me. He has been spending all this time searching for my reincarnation. I only managed to make contact with him by accident,” Bi Qing said confidently.
“The clone of a Heavenly Immortal. Then, he will at least be as strong as a True Immortal.” Chen Feng quickly considered the matter. In his opinion, it should still be manageable. Besides, Bi Qing had helped him too much. Refusing would be bad.
Moreover, since the fifth floor of the Longevity Tower was opened, the Longevity Tower had managed to recover its memories and even recovered some more of its strength. With the Longevity Tower there, Chen Feng was confident. In fact, he was even thinking of killing off another True Immortal. Killing a True Immortal would bring about a great deal of benefits. At the very least, it would help them nurture another batch of experts.
“In that case, I will have to trouble senior for this,” Chen Feng said. Chen Feng, on the other hand, secretly discussed it with Tower and they planned what they should do.
“I’ll say the same thing. As long as you can get the other party to come in, everything will be fine,” Tower said with a chuckle. Last time, they had only managed to kill off the True Immortal by sending him into the Longevity Tower.
By devouring a portion of the True Immortal’s strength, the Longevity Tower’s strength rose as well. Only, according to Tower, in order to quickly recover its strength, the Longevity Tower required divine objects, a high number of divine objects.
Thinking about it gave Chen Feng a headache. The Longevity Tower was a Divine artifact. Levelling it up was not as easy as levelling up the other magic treasures on his person. Speaking of which, during this period, the grade of the magic treasures on Chen Feng had also risen. Several Dao artifacts had already reached the threshold of the Immortal tier. This operation with the Great Heavenstealing Array would certainly push several of the magic treasures on him to the Immortal tier.
Time passed by quickly. After Chen Feng had finished preparing two Great Heavenstealing Arrays, Bi Qing’s friend arrived.
This time, the scale of the operation was even bigger than before. Chen Feng planned on setting up nine Great Heavenstealing Arrays in total, using up to 30 Ascendant Immortals as workers for this operation. The number of top-grade spirit stones used for this was practically uncountable.
“Greetings, Senior Xian Yun.”
The name of Bi Qing’s friend was Xian Yun, a Heavenly Immortal. Naturally, this Xian Yun was just a clone. Even so, he still possessed the cultivation base of a True Immortal. Elegant and refined, he wore white clothes, giving off the atmosphere of spring. Even though he was not giving off any domineering aura, Chen Feng could still feel a formidable pressure affecting the very depths of his heart.
This fellow is quite extraordinary. Only, I wonder if he is stronger or the fellow from the Poison Plane is stronger? Even now, Chen Feng still did not know High Prince Five Poisons name.
In Chen Feng’s opinion, though, as someone whose original body was a Heavenly Immortal, Xian Yun should be somewhat stronger.
“No need for formalities. I have heard that you guys are setting up the Great Heavenstealing Arrays. I would like to see it for myself,” Xian Yun said smilingly.
“Senior, please give me your advice,” Chen Feng was quick to say.
It would appear that the relationship between Xian Yun and Bi Qing was indeed very good. Xian Yun personally took action to help Chen Feng set up the Great Heavenstealing Arrays, even bringing out some rare spirit stones for them. With the participation of a True Immortal, they were able to quickly set up the Great Heavenstealing Arrays. These arrays were even more complete and stronger compared to the previous one.
Chen Feng outwardly expressed his gratitude for Xian Yun’s assistance. However, he also secretly asked Tower to check the great arrays. In the end, Tower found no issues with the great arrays.
Is he actually sincere? Does he not hold any malicious intentions? Makes sense, he is a Heavenly Immortal. Someone like that should not think too much about a minor place like this. I am just thinking too much. Chen Feng secretly felt ashamed.
With that, the East Dragon Island Alliance could be considered to possess a True Immortal of its own. Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Only, there was still this faint and indescribable feeling lingering within his heart, making him feel somewhat depressed.
