Chapter 1893 - 1889: An Unexpected Incident
Upon hearing Little Pillow’s words,
the old Taoist was taken aback, and immediately felt a bit of a sting in his nose.
Truth be told, he had lived for so long, nearly a thousand years.
One could say he had long since seen through the secular emotions of this world.
Most of the time, he could remain calm, with nothing capable of moving him, nothing that could stir his heart.
Yet, Little Pillow’s understanding demeanor at this moment touched him somewhat.
Firstly, Little Pillow’s background was inherently tragic.
Because every grievance infant was like that.
Almost every grievance infant’s backstory was intertwined with a tragic history.
Otherwise, the powerful grievance would not form, and the grievance infant wouldn’t be born.
And so it was for Little Pillow.
After becoming a grievance infant,
he was parentless, without support, without relatives, without friends.
It was under such circumstances,
that he met Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took him in as a brother, and he recognized Chen Feng as his elder brother.
Under Chen Feng’s care, he once again had a family and relatives.
Given Little Pillow’s age,
although from the moment he was born until now, counting seriously, he was over forty years old.
But in fact, for these forty-plus years, he had been buried in a grave, never coming into the world.
So his mentality at this moment wasn’t very different from that of a three-year-old child.
However, he was so understanding, considerate of others, aware of not causing others to worry.
For instance, now, he was clearly injured, yet feared Chen Feng would worry about his condition, so he asked the old Taoist not to tell Chen Feng.
Simply because he didn’t want Chen Feng to worry about him.
He was very considerate of Chen Feng.
He thought that currently, the Chen Family was battling the Yan Hall.
Chen Feng was already overwhelmed.
He didn’t want his circumstances to occupy Chen Feng’s thoughts further.
He wanted Chen Feng to concentrate fully, putting all his attention on cultivation and the battle with the Yan Hall.
Truth be told, Little Pillow was so understanding, it was heart-wrenching how considerate he was.
The old Taoist sighed, reached out to rub Little Pillow’s head, and said, "Honestly, for Chen Feng to have accepted you as a brother is his honor!"
"Ah? Why do you say that? I feel very happy being with Brother Chen Feng, I feel meeting Brother Chen Feng is the happiest thing for me!"
Little Pillow was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile.
"Chen Feng thinks the same, having a brother as understanding as you, Chen Feng is truly very fortunate. Alright, continue with your cultivation, I’ll be heading back now!"
The old Taoist said with a smile.
"Mm!"
Little Pillow nodded very obediently, then walked into the dense grievance of the Extremely Yin Land, sat cross-legged, and began to recover.
At this moment,
Little Pillow could clearly feel that his body was like a dry sponge for a long time.
As soon as he entered this dense grievance,
large amounts of grievance converged toward his body.
His body was bursting with a strong desire,
a strong desire to absorb these grievances, to draw them all into his body.
Feeling his body’s desire, he simply didn’t try to control it, and directly allowed his body to absorb freely.
In no time,
a huge vortex formed centered around Little Pillow, gathering all the grievance from the surrounding, beginning to absorb it into his body rapidly.
Little Pillow closed his eyes, operated his own cultivation technique, and started refining these grievances for his use, while using them to repair his body.
Observing this scene,
the old Taoist nodded.
He had a premonition that after Little Pillow emerged this time, he might break through to the Heavenly Rank Late Stage.
In fact, it was quite consoling to the old Taoist that Little Pillow could grow to this step.
Because, according to historical records, the highest realm for grievance infants was only the Heavenly Rank Early Stage.
But Little Pillow was different from ordinary grievance infants.
He had undergone a mutation, his potential was limitless, with a promising future.
There’s a possibility that he could break through to even higher realms.
In any case, the Heavenly Rank was not his limit, just the beginning!
That’s why the old Taoist had always been meticulously nurturing Little Pillow.
Because if Little Pillow was raised well, he could become a primary combat power against the Ancient Demon Clan in the future.
Subsequently,
the old Taoist left Little Pillow there to cultivate.
As for himself, he left the Extremely Yin Land, letting the Tianqi Holy Pearl transport him back to Red Flame Mountain.
Red Flame Mountain,
was a volcano, and also a natural large furnace!
Back then, Emperor Tianqi relied on Red Flame Mountain to forge numerous magical treasures.
Even the Tianqi Holy Pearl was forged by Emperor Tianqi using Red Flame Mountain.
Although Red Flame Mountain now no longer held that formidable power of the past,
it still sufficed for repairing a Low Grade Divine Artifact.
And Chen Feng’s Flame Treasure Tower was currently thrown into this Red Flame Mountain,
constantly being forged by the crimson flames inside.
The old Taoist glanced at the condition of the Liehuo Pagoda, and it seemed somewhat better than at the start.
However, to directly elevate it to the level of a Low Grade Divine Artifact, some precious materials had to be added.
But the materials needed hadn’t been sent over by the Tie Sect yet.
So it was temporarily impossible to upgrade the Flame Treasure Tower to a Low Grade Divine Artifact.
For now, it was just letting the Flame Treasure Tower slowly absorb some fire element energy in Red Flame Mountain, repairing slowly.
What the old Taoist had to do was to keep an eye on the condition of the Flame Treasure Tower.
After all, the temperature of the flames in Red Flame Mountain was still very high.
And the Flame Treasure Tower itself had been severely damaged.
If one wasn’t careful, it could be incinerated by the fiercely burning red flames.
Therefore, the old Taoist had to keep a watch, monitoring the circumstances.
The old Taoist sat cross-legged at the crater of Red Flame Mountain.
Then closed his eyes, expanding his divine sense to perceive the situation of the Flame Treasure Tower within Red Flame Mountain.
This way, should anything unexpected occur, he could act quickly to retrieve the Flame Treasure Tower!
And so,
it’s unknown how much time passed.
Suddenly,
a very formidable aura fluctuation erupted within the Tianqi World.
This aura shot straight into the sky.
It naturally alarmed the old Taoist.
The old Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, looking toward the northeast.
Because that was where the powerful aura emanated from.
Feeling this aura,
a glimmer of joy flashed in the old Taoist’s eyes as he smiled, saying, "This kid finally succeeded in his breakthrough!"
Evidently,
this formidable aura was released by Chen Feng.
Having been in seclusion for so long,
with the support of the massive nature’s spiritual energy in Tianqi World,
he finally broke through to the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Rank.
The old Taoist’s mind moved, letting the Tianqi Holy Pearl transport him close to Chen Feng.
On the mountain peak there,
Chen Feng was sitting cross-legged, his eyes still closed.
The powerful aura, however, flowed out from his body like a tornado, sweeping outward all around.
Seeing this, the old Taoist was about to step forward to congratulate him,
but the next moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
Because he discovered, Chen Feng had not yet exited the cultivation state,
but his aura had already begun to release continuously outward.
This situation
seemed a bit like losing control!
