Big Data Cultivation

Luan Xiong True Sage was very resistant to being summoned like this, but he couldn’t scold the other party.

He really wanted to tell Feng Jun, "I couldn’t possibly tamper with the talisman. You can call your elders as easily as drinking water; if I were to meddle, would your elders agree?"

Anyway, he was indeed a bit apprehensive of the elders behind Feng Jun.

But he couldn’t let Feng Jun find his way to the Jinwu Headquarters. To be honest, with Feng Jun being so elusive now, he wasn’t comfortable with this guy reaching the mountain gate—the Jinwu Sect would be troubled having an outsider who could arrive at the headquarters anytime.

So all he could do was snort, indicating he had understood.

Feng Jun didn’t want the talisman because he truly wasn’t assured about any potential tampering with it. He repeatedly mentioned his sect elders, but if possible, he genuinely didn’t want to bother the Guardian lightly.

The Guardian’s attitude towards him was quite favorable, generally doing the task upon receiving payment. However, there’s a saying: "Cultivators focus on self-cultivation, not external aids. Relying on external forces is not beneficial for a cultivator."

Moreover, Feng Jun was particularly resistant to having his whereabouts known. He had been ambushed by Ouyang Beishan and caught in the pincer attack of the Insect Race, and he really didn’t want to experience it a third time.

It’s certainly an advantage that he could run around without restriction, but with his exposed abilities increasing, it’s impossible that no one would covet them. Hence, running around everywhere ironically became a hazard; if someone discovered his whereabouts and set a trap, it would be disastrous.

So after rejecting Luan Xiong True Sage, he bid farewell and left the Blazing Flame Plate.

This time, he went directly to the Void, hoping to utilize the half-day to find and take away Yang Jing True Sage.

The last time he sought assistance in the Void, Yang Jing True Sage intervened directly and nearly injured him, which made him quite furious, deciding to leave those people be for a while.

However, that was just an impulsive decision because, at the time, a thousand cultivators were facing the god descent attack of the Insect Race, and the pressure on him was immense as he was focused on urgently finding reinforcements.

He believed Xuanshui Sect to be trustworthy, which is why he tried it, and upon encountering that treatment, he was immediately infuriated.

Once the situation settled, he reflected on the incident more calmly—it was actually a misunderstanding. He simply didn’t have time to resolve it then, and Yang Jing True Sage didn’t express any obvious apology upon recognizing him.

Now that matters have concluded, he could return to take away Yang Jing True Sage. Anyway, since he wasn’t quite comfortable with it, he couldn’t wait for the deadline to bring him along.

Upon arriving at the Void again, he couldn’t find Han Hai and Yang Jing—they both indeed went to map the terrain, so he went directly to a treasure-finding spot of Xuanshui Sect, asking, "Who can contact Han Hai True Sage? Ask him to come back briefly."

This time, one of the True Immortals from Xuanshui Sect was at Nascent Soul High Stage, but given Feng Jun’s manner of speaking, even he couldn’t dispute it and had to dutifully activate the talisman.

Feng Jun waited for three days until Han Hai True Sage shot back at lightning speed, sending a divine sense signal a million miles away—but his direction seemed a bit off, "You all are... huh, it’s you? I thought something urgent happened."

Once the target was clear, he blinked instantly, "You mean... our agreement hasn’t reached three years yet?"

"Greetings, True Sage," Feng Jun raised a hand in salute, responding in a deep voice, "Matters in the Insect World have concluded, and you both must have completed your tasks. I wish to invite Yang Jing True Sage back to Tianqin."

"If you want to invite him, why summon me?" Han Hai True Sage spoke begrudgingly, "Just summon Master Yang Jing. Do you know how far I rushed back from?"

Feng Jun saluted again, appreciating Han Hai True Sage’s style, hence maintaining propriety, "True Sage, please calm down. I didn’t know he left a talisman here also."

Han Hai True Sage was taken aback. He and Master Yang Jing indeed finished their fight, and both assumed Feng Jun would come for them when the deadline approached, so Yang Jing True Sage went to map the terrain too—True Sages are meant for moments like this, right?

After encountering several terrifying creatures, they realized that even Nascent Souls were at risk while mapping the Void.

But fundamentally, Yang Jing True Sage came to the Void to help eliminate the ghastly spirits and logically should return to Tianqin after that. Staying to continue mapping felt a bit petty.

However, since both felt Feng Jun would only come after the deadline expired, they didn’t mind much, and Yang Jing True Sage even made a talisman specifically so that the juniors in the sect could summon him.

Han Hai True Sage thought there was nothing wrong with operating this way—which was true. However, complaining about Feng Jun due to this was unjust: is it his obligation to know that Yang Jing also made a talisman?

Hitching a ride is one thing, but hitching a ride while righteously blaming others crosses a line.

Han Hai True Sage isn’t someone who reasons absolutely, but he’s not completely unreasonable either; unable to blame Feng Jun, he could only glance at his fellow sect members, "You didn’t think to ask more questions!"

How could we know someone wants to find Yang Jing True Sage? The Xuanshui Sect members exchanged silent glances.

Anyway... we can’t argue with the True Sage, so we’ll just accept it.

When Yang Jing True Sage returned, four more days had passed. It was evident that Xuanshui Sect’s cohesion was quite strong; at least when it came to elders rescuing the juniors, their speed was exceptionally fast.

He originally thought Han Hai True Sage encountered an opponent he couldn’t defeat — actually, Xuanshui Sect’s arrangement was just this way; in case of danger, call Han Hai True Sage, because his combat prowess was stronger. Only when Han Hai couldn’t hold, would Yang Jing be summoned.

Yang Jing True Sage rushed all the way and when he was about to arrive, he realized: so Han Hai wasn’t fighting, and by his side was actually that young man?

He originally didn’t have much opinion of Feng Jun, but he had this bad habit — he liked to rank seniority. He felt Feng Jun wasn’t very respectful to him, which made him somewhat unhappy. Plus, Feng Jun’s monstrous talent even shocked him, which made him a bit unwilling to yield.

Which cultivator who reached the Emergence Stage wasn’t a monstrous talent? But Feng Jun’s prominence now was far exceeding what he had back then.

He flew over and greeted with a smile, "So... Mountain Master Feng, was it you who sought me?"

"Yes," Feng Jun nodded, "Last time, concerning the lives and deaths of over a thousand cultivators, I didn’t have the time to elaborate. Now that there’s a chance, I came to ask... was that group of vengeful spirits resolved?"

Both True Sages were people of face, and with junior sect members around, Yang Jing True Sage sincerely nodded, "That’s right, finally resolved. We both just finished recovery and then you came, but left again... seemed in quite a hurry, didn’t you?"

"All in the past now," Feng Jun replied earnestly. He didn’t want to say much to this person because he didn’t appreciate the person’s disposition, "Since it has ended, and now I’m free, how about I escort you back?"

Yang Jing True Sage was stunned, blinked once, then smiled and nodded, "Alright then."

Without making any argument, Han Hai True Sage instead asked, "Wasn’t it agreed last time to handle affairs ahead of departure?"

"That was when I didn’t know how long you’d be fighting, and I... generally don’t come to the Void," Feng Jun looked at him deeply, "I came by because I had the time, seeing you had finished up, it’s normal to send you off ahead of time, isn’t it?"

Han Hai True Sage became displeased, "You ’generally’ don’t come to the Void... is that because you secretly resent Master Yang Jing for striking against you?"

"A bit," Feng Jun answered plainly. Actually, at a certain high status, anything could be openly discussed, "I know Yang Jing True Sage acted instinctively, but time was tight, I had no moment to explain... you were my first target for aid."

Yang Jing True Sage’s expression changed slightly; he realized the critical point of the issue: the flow rate of Void time had a multiplier difference. Feng Jun’s first assistance request was to them, but he struck with a palm.

No matter his thoughts when he struck, regardless of technical factors, the fact that Feng Jun first sought assistance from Xuanshui Sect was enough.

Thus, he silently nodded, "Alright, I’ve pretty much stayed enough. The mountain gate needs someone to oversee."

Actually, he found a treasure spot and really wanted to take Feng Jun to record it, but ultimately didn’t have the nerve to speak — having injured the person like this, let’s not embarrass anymore.

Of course, he wouldn’t let his labors come to nothing, thus through Divine Sense, he sent Han Hai True Sage a location.

Han Hai raised an eyebrow helplessly, he could feel his master’s mood, inwardly sighing: if done earlier, wouldn’t have come to this?

Feng Jun watched Yang Jing’s finger point again, still without defenses: within the Void, he didn’t need to worry about this.

In fact, bringing Yang Jing True Sage to the Ice Plate, he still didn’t worry about this: Xuanshui Sect had many sect members in the Void, unless the opposite party went insane, they wouldn’t strike against him.

Due to the seven days delay, placed in Tianqin, it was equivalent to half a day passing. When Feng Jun returned to Blazing Flame, it was already midday, and Qing Wei True Immortal was becoming impatient waiting at the shop.

After receiving the goods, Feng Jun intended to leave; Qing Wei cordially invited him to stay, mentioning everyone might arrive tonight, and they could head to the Insect World early tomorrow.

Feng Jun expressed this wasn’t possible; he didn’t anticipate that upon returning so many things had arisen — at least, he needed to deliver materials to the Big Planet.

Conscientiously speaking, he was busy to the point he had no time to charge the Stone Ring, each time he thought of this, he couldn’t help but sigh: everyone else cultivates through refining, I’m just wandering around, so it truly is Feng’s wandering cultivation tale.

Therefore, he planned to head to White Pebble Beach, to genuinely rest for two days, and meanwhile, charge the Stone Ring.

Soon after arriving at White Pebble Beach, as soon as he entered the mansion, he sensed the Big Boss’s Divine Sense ripples.

Nowadays, there weren’t many experts, and you’ve started being active again? Feng Jun walked into the Big Boss’s room, immediately receiving its Divine Sense.

"Didn’t you tell me your sect doesn’t understand Incense Fire Ascension? Then how do you restrain the Incense Fire Ascension method?"
