Chapter 2742 - 2734: Huanqiong Domain (First Update)

Chapter 2742: Chapter 2734: Huanqiong Domain (First Update)

Feng Jun actually didn’t plan to go to Qingchuan again, but given his past behavior, always caring about the lower realm, he definitely had to make a gesture.

If these two agreed, he had other plans to halt his journey.

However, to his surprise, both true gentlemen advised her not to go to the Qingchuan Realm for the time being.

After all, the current instability in Qingchuan poses a significant potential risk. Although these two are confident they can protect him safely, why bother taking a risk when it can be avoided?

Qian Zhong’s attitude was clear, "I’m also very curious to know what’s going on in the Qingchuan Realm. But if the domain is turbulent, then why not wait a little longer for it to stabilize before going? You’re not intending to observe the domain turbulence, are you?"

"I indeed have a little interest in observing domain turbulence," Feng Jun answered with a smile, maintaining his persona as a ’seeker of knowledge’ steadily, "But I also understand that given my cultivation level, it’s really a bit of a stretch. Since the two seniors disagree, then forget it."

"We could visit other domains," Xuanyuan Yuese suggested amicably, "Just as Junior Yi Jue has returned, the deductions on the Feign Death Pill have also been paused. Which domain would you like to go to?"

Feng Jun originally intended to decline; the Big Boss wouldn’t go to another domain to reveal secrets in the short term. But upon reconsideration, he realized he could go and leave a footprint first, then return when convenient, which is also a process of accumulation.

Moreover, when Yi Jue was around, he would wander everywhere, but once Yi Jue was not around, he wouldn’t go out, which might seem unfriendly to these two—distance can exist objectively, but excessive guardimess lacks goodwill.

So he pondered for a moment, then nodded, "That could work, preferably somewhere with wonders to broaden my horizons. But wandering like this... doesn’t count towards escort times, right?"

"Times don’t matter," Xuanyuan Yuese replied with a smile; he didn’t believe that Yi Jue could get along with Feng Jun, but he couldn’t. "Do you have any requirements for the domain to visit?"

Of course, there were requirements—the higher the cultivation limit, the better. However, Feng Jun smiled, "Whatever the two great lords decide."

Just having caused such a stir in the Qingchuan Realm, he couldn’t really mention that request—it would too easily lead to associative imagining.

But not mentioning didn’t mean Xuanyuan Yuese didn’t have ideas; he thought for a while and suggested, "Shall we head to the Huanqiong Domain first?"

Huanqiong is considered quite powerful among lower realms, Feng Jun hesitated for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Alright... seems that there are slightly more cultivators there, is there some consideration behind the great lord’s suggestion?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhong also nodded, "There are also demon cultivators there, Daoist friend Yuese suggests that—are you worried we won’t have anything to do?"

"Why are you so stubborn!" Xuanyuan Yuese communicated with divine sense, "He carries fortune; if we’re not going to those domains with strong limits, should we go to places without even Nascent Souls?"

"May not necessarily yield good harvests," Qian Zhong refuted indifferently, but said, "However, with many secret realms there, involving different rules, it could broaden our horizons."

Feng Jun didn’t know what they planned, but he expressed enough ’fear’ of unknown risks, so he nodded and spoke with a smile, "Then I’ll trouble you two great lords, truly ashamed... I’m still more used to Elder Yi Jue."

Xuanyuan Yuese laughed heartily, "Actually, after spending time with us, you’ll know that true gentlemen also have seven emotions and six desires, and Junior Yi Jue is one realm and more above you... Mainly, it’s about getting comfortable with it, right, are you not going to prepare?"

"I do need to arrange things," Feng Jun nodded and blinked into the estate, "Let’s depart tomorrow morning."

Seeing him leave, Qian Zhong continued asking with divine sense, "If I remember correctly, your Xuanyuan family has a secret realm there, right?"

"It would certainly be more convenient with some juniors driving the place," Xuanyuan Yuese replied indifferently, "I don’t believe the Yao Family has no one there."

Qian Zhong gave him a look, said nothing, turned, and walked away.

Feng Jun’s arrangements were simple: just invite Jing Ling back to guard White Pebble Beach, but the next morning, he asked Zhang Caixin to bring over the Yin-Yang Mirror, as Elder Bian Ji made a visit to inquire about the Feign Death Pill again.

After the two discussed, it was nearly noon, showing that research really consumes too much time, even with Feng Jun having something in hand, otherwise Elder Bian Ji would just waste the remaining thousand-year lifespan, probably ending up empty-handed.

The two true gentlemen were patient, without rushing Feng Jun on the journey, waiting until Elder Bian Ji left before arriving outside the estate.

Xuanyuan Yuese, who had an anchor point for the Huanqiong Domain, with his capabilities as a true gentleman, didn’t need to return to Tianqin before descending again, but could directly reach Huanqiong from Kunhao.

However, to his annoyance, Qian Zhong clearly didn’t trust him, wrapping Feng Jun with long sleeves—if you dare to calculate him, then calculate me!

—Cultivators who live to such an age, if they lack even this level of precaution, would have already been devoured with not even residue left.

Besides Qian Zhong, Feng Jun also brought Yu Qingzhu this time, intending to use her spatial physique for quick escape in case of issues—Liu Yiyi was an adequate tool person, but just having her run around without cultivating seemed unfair.

Yu Qingzhu wasn’t resistant to this; being at the peak of the first layer of Outdust, only a step away from the second layer, visiting other domains could benefit her.

Moreover, Feng Jun also promised her a "business trip subsidy"—having taken this trip, he would give her grandfather a "Life Potion."

He has already provided many Members of Luohua with the "Evergreen Elixir" for their relatives to use, but Elder Yu’s age is truly quite advanced. Despite Yu Qingzhu having found many treasures to extend his life, she still thinks about the Life Potion.

Fortunately, Feng Jun has brought too many good things to Huaxia. Even if these treasures are discovered, most people wouldn’t dare have thoughts of forcibly taking them. They can only try to pull strings and go through the backdoor; those without connections just have to queue up honestly.

Even Yang Yuxin’s elder brother-in-law only got two doses of the Evergreen Elixir, one for him and one for his wife, but they still have to queue up for the Life Potion.

It’s fortunate that Gu Jiahui is kind-hearted, and she sent two doses of the Evergreen Elixir to her second uncle’s family; otherwise, those brothers would probably have argued.

These are all side notes, though. The key is when Feng Jun took Yu Qingzhu, he used the Spirit Beast Bag.

He himself is unafraid of Weimian’s Force, and neither Yi Jue nor the Big Boss followed. He brought her along solely out of concern for the safety of those two senior figures—don’t think this is unnecessary worry; Feng Jun seriously considered this issue.

If by any chance a True Master accompanying him is accidentally killed, he can hardly imagine what kind of insane revenge he would face.

However, the previous experience with Liu Yiyi also served as a reminder to Feng Jun—that the cultivation level at the Out-of-the-Dust Stage is somewhat lacking.

If it weren’t for Yi Jue’s meticulousness, Liu Yiyi would have surely died, and once she was dead, Yi Jue and the Big Boss would have been in greater danger.

Yu Qingzhu had some reservations about entering the Spirit Beast Bag, but after the Big Boss’s analysis, she could only reluctantly accept it.

After all, entering the Spirit Beast Bag was ultimately a rather unpleasant experience; not only was everything pitch black, but she couldn’t hear anything, and it even gave a sensation of time standing still. She was very skeptical about how Liu Yiyi could have endured inside the Spirit Beast Bag for so long.

Unknown how much time passed, there was a sudden brightness ahead, and she was released. As far as the eye could see, there was a densely packed crowd.

In that moment, she felt so ashamed and annoyed that she wished she could die right there on the spot. After all, she was a cultivator at the Out-of-the-Dust Stage, yet she appeared in such a manner.

However, before she could react, the aura emitted by the numerous cultivators ahead informed her: No one here was below the rank of Golden Core.

Feng Jun lightly coughed, "This is my disciple from White Pebble Beach... Qingzhu, greet the seniors."

Yu Qingzhu, feeling a bit silly, cupped her hands and made a formal bow, "Yu Qingzhu from White Pebble Beach, pays respects to all the senior figures."

"You may dispense with the formalities, young friend," a high-stage Nascent Soul cultivator waved his hand and laughed heartily. "There’s no need for such courtesies; Xuanyuan Family and White Pebble Beach are one family... someone bring a thousand intermediate Spirit Stones here as a greeting gift."

Yu Qingzhu certainly wouldn’t rashly accept the Spirit Stones; instead, she prudently retreated behind Feng Jun.

Feng Jun waved his hand, "Alright, when seniors gift things, you dare not refuse... Qingzhu, you take it and thank Elder Hulie."

Initially, when Xuanyuan Buwei brought them over, more than seventy cultivators had already gathered at the anchor spot, all junior members of the Xuanyuan Family.

Among these juniors were over ten Nascent Souls, and the rest were all Golden Cores. The Nascent Souls included one high-stage, three intermediate stages, and the rest were all initial stages, while the Golden Core Masters were primarily high and intermediate level, and a few initial level ones were unusually young, clearly the elites of the clan.

Upon seeing this, Feng Jun was genuinely taken aback, while Qian Zhong appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly was on high alert—these Nascent Souls and Golden Cores didn’t pose much pressure on her, but if they formed a battle array, it would be quite uncertain, especially with the presence of Xuanyuan Buwei.

Xuanyuan Buwei, however, pointed out the name of the high-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and asked Xuanyuan Hulie to introduce his juniors to Feng Jun.

There was actually an unspeakable matter here: Xuanyuan Hulie was not from the Xuanyuan Family’s secret realm in Huanqiong; he was born in the main branch of a little domain from the Xuanyuan Family and was informed in advance by Xuanyuan Buwei to come and preside over affairs at Huanqiong Domain.

To put it bluntly, in this domain’s Xuanyuan Family secret realm, there was only one high-stage Nascent Soul elder, who was almost at the end of his lifespan. Though he could still preside over matters, inevitably it gave off a feeling of "the sun setting on the western mountains."

To ensure the Xuanyuan Family wasn’t underestimated, Xuanyuan Buwei personally appointed Xuanyuan Hulie to sit here, even if there was only one high-stage Nascent Soul, at least he was relatively young and theoretically had the potential to reach the Out-of-Body Stage.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Hulie was very familiar with this domain’s Xuanyuan Family, and it posed no problem for him to introduce them, especially those Nascent True Immortals, about whom he could speak at length.

However, precisely because he could speak at length, some awkwardness inevitably occurred, particularly with one Nascent Soul Third Layer cultivator from Xuanyuan Youdao whom he specially introduced.

"Youdao, though cold-hearted... condensed his soul at the age of four hundred ten, now barely over five hundred years old, youngsters can befriend him more."

The words were fine, but the issue was this emotionally detached "Youdao of Xuanyuan Youdao", she was Kunxiu!
