Big Data Cultivation

The day after Feng Jun was attacked, apart from family clan practitioners expressing their concern, sect practitioners also conveyed their regards, all showing attention to him.

Yang Jing True Sage of Xuanshui Sect indicated that if there is a need at White Pebble Beach, he wouldn’t mind coming down to help Feng Jun investigate the perpetrator.

However, Feng Jun really isn’t interested in Yang Jing True Sage; if it were Han Hai True Sage, he would be willing to communicate, even though Han Hai True Sage is notoriously difficult to deal with.

Yang Jing True Sage gives him a very subtle feeling, like a bureaucrat, although this term is a bit out of place for a cultivator. Still, when you think about it, White Pebble Beach is attacked, and he just condescendingly asks, do you need help?

If you need help, I’ll go down once, otherwise forget it!

Indeed, a True Sage should have the demeanor of a True Sage, but Feng Jun had interacted with him before — when you were searching treasure-finding spots all over the void, you didn’t show much of an attitude.

Compared to Xuanshui Sect, Taixu Sect did much better. After Wu Xiu True Immortal returned to Tianqin and explained the situation, Moran True Immortal directly stated he wanted to descend to the lower realm, and even Tuan Tuan True Immortal expressed wanting to come to Kunhao.

Then two True Immortals stepped forth and invited a Nascent Soul Eighth Layer cultivation level Qing Que True Immortal. The three descended upon White Pebble Beach that afternoon.

Qing Que True Immortal cultivates Heart Sword, extremely powerful in combat and capable of discerning right from wrong and understanding causality. Those in Taixu Sect who can invite him are few. However, he owed Tuan Tuan True Immortal a favor and came along this time.

Unfortunately, when they arrived, Feng Jun wasn’t there; he had gone to the Earth Realm.

Feng Jun had been dealing with various cultivators for half the day, knowing everyone meant well, but none could offer actual information or help, so he had to go back and ask the Guardian.

The Guardian was quite surprised to hear it was a spatial annihilation, "The root of the person who harmed you is so deep, you must have quite a face. Were you able to capture any of the annihilation’s aura?"

Feng Jun truly didn’t have the ability to capture that annihilation aura, but fortunately, when he was attacked, he had a Yin Spirit Bigwig nearby, so he offered a piece of Obsidian, "It contains a simulated aura."

The Guardian sensed it and then indicated with some helplessness, "I understand now, it’s an inter-domain locking. No wonder the space fluctuations by the Bidirectional Gate are so strange; this entity is hard to deal with... I can’t go over there either."

It seemed to fall into deep thought without reacting for a long time. Feng Jun waited for half a day and couldn’t help but ask, "What level is it?"

"Nascent Soul power, the person refining it at most is at the Emergence Stage," the Guardian answered without hesitation, "If it dared come to Earth, I would crush it with a snap... By the way, you seem to have a pretty good mirror; care to show it?"

Feng Jun thought for a moment and immediately knew what it referred to, then went to retrieve the Speculator, "This is a fragmented Sun-Mirroring Glass, and it seems... it can only view a distance of ten thousand miles."

"Ten thousand miles?" The Guardian snorted, took the mirror directly, and about ten seconds later, the mirror reappeared, seemingly with an added layer of mist, "Carrying a treasure without knowing... why not repair it a bit?"

"I want to, but at the time, several Emergence Stage cultivators were watching," Feng Jun expressed helplessly, "There were people standing guard over this mirror, so I thought to wait until my cultivation level is higher to repair it... the key is Spirit Stones are not handy."

"Spirit Stones not handy," the Guardian couldn’t help but repeat, then snorted, "This item is wasted for Emergence Stage use. Repairing it is indeed not easy, but I’ve temporarily patched it up. Do you have any good Emergence Stage friends over there?"

Where would I have True Sage friends? Feng Jun chuckled bitterly, "I do know a few powerful Emergence Stage cultivators."

"That’s enough," the Guardian wasn’t bothered that he referred to Emergence Stage as "powerful," just casually remarked, "Let them raise this mirror, and they will surely find the place where the attack originated."

Can that be done? Feng Jun was initially astonished, then showed a bit of hesitation, "But... even if I can trace the perpetrator, can I still keep the Speculator given its powerful function?"

"With your cultivation level..." the Guardian was also quite troubled, but still reassured, "Don’t worry, with what I have fortified, nobody can take it without asking."

"Many thanks, senior," Feng Jun expressed his gratitude with a hand gesture, and then hesitatingly asked, "How many Spirit Stones?"

"What?" The Guardian was stunned at first, then showed a bit of emotion, "What do you think I am... at least two thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"

"Alright, two thousand top-grade Spirit Stones," Feng Jun took out the two thousand top-grade Spirit Stones and placed them on the table, then thought to ask, "Senior, do Energy Blocks help with your Spiritual Energy recovery? I have quite a bit of that."

"Top-grade Spirit Stones for me are just repairs, extreme-grade is the start," the Guardian expressed impatiently, "Normal people drink water, in the desert, even urine must be drunk... but you can’t expect me to drink sewage, can you?"

Your analogy is quite something... Feng Jun shook his head with a wry smile, "Alright, I understand, I’ll find a sewage treatment system for you later, I must go now."

He first returned to White Pebble Beach, wanting the Big Boss to try using the Speculator directly, but before he could communicate, a divine sense had already been transmitted over, "It is indeed Mountain Master Feng who has returned; this space fluctuation feels somewhat familiar."

Feng Jun sensed it and discovered it was a familiar divine sense, so he laughed, "Oh, it’s you – turns out it’s True Immortal Yuan who has graced us with your presence. I didn’t manage to attend your Nascent Soul Condensation Ceremony, I hope you understand. Oh, True Immortal Moran is also here?"

As he spoke, he flashed out. Besides, the fact that these two descended the following day indicated very firm support, so he could not afford to be negligent.

The two True Immortals greeted him and solemnly introduced the sect protector, True Immortal Qing Que.

True Immortal Qing Que had a medium build and a lean figure, his eyes seemed half-open, but he didn’t have the sharp aura of a sword cultivator, yet he exuded an indescribable power. As True Immortal Moran said, Uncle Master Qing Que cultivates the heart sword and seldom uses his eyes to observe people.

Interestingly, this person at the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer was not an Elder but rather a protector.

In most sect systems, protectors are not direct disciples, but True Immortal Qing Que found the Elder’s tasks too cumbersome and voluntarily applied to be a protector. Taixu Sect initially did not agree, so he left under the pretext of traveling for sixty years, only accepting protector missions during this time.

The Taixu Sect couldn’t persuade him and just regarded him as a protector without an official appointment. Anyway, many eccentrics and easy-going disciples belonged to Taixu Sect, so they didn’t mind having one more.

Upon hearing that it was a person specially arranged by True Immortal Yuan, Feng Jun would not dare to neglect, and he greeted them warmly again.

Qing Que Protector was not as unapproachable as rumored, but he wasn’t particularly enthusiastic either. He expressed straightforwardly, "I am not good at deduction; I rely on my dao heart to judge right and wrong. Mountain Master Feng, feel free to ask your questions, but don’t ask why!"

"Naturally," Feng Jun smiled and nodded, "Regarding my current situation, I wonder what advice Qing Que Protector might have?"

"None," True Immortal Qing Que shook his head and answered earnestly, "When you need to choose between two or three options... then ask me."

When it’s time to choose, do I still need to ask you? Feng Jun secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. However, he had heard of the heart sword and knew that the other person wasn’t really arrogant, it’s just that the true nature of the heart sword is like that.

At this moment, Master Xiaomeng quickly walked over with a smile on her face, "Mountain Master Feng, I have some good news to share with you. You Xuan True Sage, upon hearing the news here, said he could make a visit to the Lower Realm, although there’s a slight inconvenience..."

Feng Jun and the three True Immortals of Taixu were stunned. You Xuan True Sage to descend to the Lower Realm?

After a pause, Master Xiaomeng spoke again, "Just before, you received help from True Sage Luan Xiong, and You Xuan True Sage mentioned that if True Sage Luan Xiong still has the means to keep an eye on things, then he would not interfere, as ultimately each sect has its own domain."

She didn’t know how You Xuan True Sage operated in the Higher Realm; she only knew that he was another True Sage from Jemwu Sect, and she’s honored that two True Sages from an upper sect are lending face to Mountain Master Feng.

Feng Jun vividly remembered You Xuan True Sage’s ways. He blinked and couldn’t help but ask, "How did he find out? As far as I recall, he doesn’t like getting involved."

"Doesn’t like getting involved... What kind of evaluation is this?" Master Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, but didn’t think much of it, "It was our Crimson Phoenix Sect that reported it, somehow it drew the True Sage’s attention."

Feng Jun really didn’t want to accept You Xuan’s favor, and besides, Luan Xiong indeed had a closer relationship with him, so after some thought, he expressed, "The True Sage’s concerns make sense. How about I first consult True Sage Luan Xiong to see what he thinks?"

Since the Guardian suggested seeking help from the Emergence Stage, he might as well look for Luan Xiong again. After all, when it comes to seeking help, it’s better to rely on those you know. He had already sought Luan Xiong’s help once, and it wouldn’t hurt to ask again.

Just then, not far away, a burst of spatial fluctuation appeared, and Feng Jun instinctively flickered away, directly moving two miles away.

He was really spooked by all kinds of spatial trapping methods. Two miles wasn’t within a safe range, but it was better than nothing. However, he soon visibly relaxed.

After the fluctuation, a figure appeared in that area, shrouded in thick white mist, making it hard to discern.

A voice came from within the mist, "Luan Xiong is fighting in the Insect World, no need to look for him."

"Greetings to Han Hai True Sage!" Feng Jun cupped his hands respectfully and spoke. He had met Han Hai True Sage more than once and knew that this was how he existed, even when in the void, surrounded by a cloud of mist.

"Han Hai True Sage?" The three True Immortals of Taixu exchanged glances, wondering how many True Sages this man knew.

They all knew that Ren Tu True Sage of Taixu had dealings with Feng Jun, but they were less clear about those like Luan Xiong and You Xuan from Jemwu Sect.

And now, here comes Han Hai True Sage of Xuanshui Sect, said to be Xuanshui Sect’s greatest genius in three thousand years, and he directly descended to the Lower Realm?
