Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System

Yun Hong said in a grave and heartfelt tone.

"Hmph. The Great Yuan royal family owes its current position to Yuanchu Mountain. If they don’t know what’s good for them, we can just arrange for a change in dynasty."

Zhang Xuan said nonchalantly.

But despite his words, he didn’t go and make trouble for Guo Fang and the others.

Instead, as he sensed the aura within the Martial Arts Hall, he said, "A cycle every three hundred years. You must understand, Yuanchu Mountain can only win; we cannot lose. Anyone suspected of being a demon, regardless of their status, must be eradicated."

"Yes!"

Yun Hong nodded.

A cycle every three hundred years. This wasn’t the first time he had heard this phrase from Zhang Xuan. Li Mao had also told him before that this was the timeline for the resurgence of the strange and malevolent.

For thousands of years, Yuanchu Mountain had been eliminating these strange phenomena, trying to destroy the vine-like roots scattered Within the Great Yuan Territory. But the thing just kept growing, and once the corresponding time node was reached, they would spring up like mushrooms after rain.

A node every three hundred years.

Qin Yu, Yan Zhen, and the others just happened to be caught at this very time node.

...

「West Warehouse.」

After a long journey of changing conveyances, Chu Lingguang finally arrived at West Warehouse.

West Warehouse was a barren region of Great Yuan. Five thousand li of snow-capped mountains crisscrossed the land, a place where not even a blade of grass grew and humans were rarely seen.

Although he was a Captain, Chu Lingguang’s subordinates numbered just over a hundred men.

Most of them were people who had been punished and exiled to West Warehouse to serve as city-guarding foot soldiers.

The so-called West Warehouse City had a population of no more than two thousand, most of whom were the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Anyone capable of leaving had long since vanished.

Chu Lingguang came here to assume his post, but the official orders from above only arrived on the second day.

There was no welcoming ceremony. Everyone serving here knew they were all people who had made mistakes. West Warehouse would be the last place they would ever live.

After several consecutive days of exhausting travel, although Chu Lingguang was still angry and unwilling, his heart was no longer as frantic as before. On his first day in office, he carefully observed his one hundred and thirteen men.

"Do you want to practice the Spear Technique?"

Chu Lingguang asked.

The men were a bit lost, exchanging glances with one another.

"My master instructed me to promote our sect’s Martial Arts. When I was stationed elsewhere before, I often practiced the Spear Technique with my men. If you’re willing, you can practice the Spear Technique with me every morning from now on."

Chu Lingguang instructed the men.

The duties of the Captain of West Warehouse were very simple: patrol the base of the snowy mountains once a day to prevent any foreign enemies from crossing them and entering the Great Yuan Territory.

But something like that had never happened in recorded history. According to historical records, behind the snowy mountains was a boundless white world with no signs of human life.

"WHOOSH!"

「Early the next day.」

Chu Lingguang practiced his Spear Technique at the foot of the snowy mountains. It was still the Basic Thirteen Spear Techniques. As he practiced, the Star System Spiritual Power within his body began to resonate with his spear forms.

The Thirteen Forms of Spear Technique displayed an unusual charm at the foot of the mountains. The thin Spiritual Qi from the surroundings gathered toward him, drawn by his movements.

"BUZZ!"

The final responsive power awakened within Chu Lingguang’s body.

Having reached Perfection in his Qi Refining arts, his cultivation was now just one step away from the Qi Refining realm. During his long, sleepless journey over the past few days, he had been constantly resonating his Star System Spiritual Power with the outside world as he traveled.

It was this resonance that had suppressed his murderous intent, preventing him from going on a rampage on his way to his new post.

The timing was perfect.

With the help of his Qi Refining arts, he finally achieved a breakthrough. Not only did all his power transform into Spiritual Power, but even his Spear Technique and all his other Martial Arts began to resonate with his Star System Spiritual Power.

This resonance stirred the entire snowy mountain range.

Above the peaks, the morning mist flowed down like a river.

Under the influence of Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique, the thin Spiritual Qi gathered outside West Warehouse City, condensing into droplets like rain.

"BUZZ!"

The Star System unfurled.

Within the Star System, a vortex of Spiritual Power appeared.

The power in Chu Lingguang’s Sea of Consciousness trembled, and within that small ocean, the Light of Divine Wisdom erupted in a blinding flash.

The Sea of Consciousness Power pierced through the Star System, carrying with it his Spiritual Power, and emerged beside Chu Lingguang. The Nine-foot Tyrant Spear in his hand flew from his grasp uncontrollably.

With his cultivation breakthrough, a force of Telekinesis unique to Chu Lingguang was born.

The Sea of Consciousness Power and the Star System Power had reached their most perfect point of resonance. Chu Lingguang could now use the power of his Spiritual Sense to channel his Spiritual Power, forming an invisible force of Telekinesis.

He could control weapons from a distance, causing the Nine-foot Tyrant Spear to fly up before him and shoot toward the mountainside, reaching a distance of three hundred meters.

When the Nine-foot Tyrant Spear reached a distance of three hundred meters, it began to wobble, losing its killing power.

"SWOOSH!"

With a thought from Chu Lingguang,

the Nine-foot Tyrant Spear reversed direction and flew back to him, hovering in the air before his face.

"This is Telekinesis."

"I’ve finally become a Telekinesis Master."

"Once I master this power, I’ll be able to perform Sword Flight just like the experts from Yuanchu Mountain."

Chu Lingguang muttered to himself.

"Sir, there’s a letter for you."

Just then, a young soldier named Zhaxi found Chu Lingguang.

West Warehouse was located in the Northwest Region of Great Yuan. The altitude here was extremely high and the ultraviolet radiation intense. The natives living here had rugged features and a bloodline strikingly similar to that of the Turkic people.

Zhaxi was one such person.

Chu Lingguang made a casual gesture.

The letter in Zhaxi’s hand flew into his own.

Zhaxi’s eyes lit up.

He had practiced the Spear Technique under Chu Lingguang. In his eyes, Chu Lingguang was a powerful Practitioner, and summoning the letter from a distance was like watching a magic trick.

"RIP!"

Chu Lingguang tore open the letter.

’News of my demotion to Captain of West Warehouse couldn’t have been hidden from Guo Wei. This letter is probably from him.’
