Big Data Cultivation

Chapter 2507: Chapter 2499: Impact

In the deep night at White Pebble Beach, Feng Jun conversed with many cultivators for a while, roughly clarifying the situation.

Some cultivators were not satisfied, feeling it wasn’t clear enough, and wanted to discuss it with him more thoroughly, but Feng Jun suggested morning for further talks.

The crowd found it hard to persist over such matters, so this was how things stood for the moment, but scarcely anyone could catch any sleep that night.

In the middle of the night, Suzume and others came knocking on the estate’s door, along with Master Xiaosong from Taiqing and Qinggang Firmament Blade Holder.

There was no other choice, as there weren’t many True Immortals from Kunhao Realm at White Pebble Beach, just a few.

This time, Feng Jun returned without bringing Qu Jianlei and Guan Hongxiu along; though those two were willing to loyally serve as bodyguards, for Feng Jun, it was more beneficial for them to continue seeking opportunities in the Insect World—protecting the Energy Stone Mine was important too.

Qinggang’s Firmament Blade Holder arrived only after Yue Qing had left; his relationship with Feng Jun was just average, but he couldn’t not come. White Pebble Beach was the most renowned opportunity place in the current Kunhao, crucially important to the Four Great Sects.

Aside from Yue Qing being on good terms with Feng Jun, there was basically no one particularly close to Feng Jun from Qinggang, so the Firmament Blade Holder hurriedly came to succeed him.

Entering the estate at night, they were there not only to gather information but also to show support for Feng Jun, willing to offer various forms of assistance.

The Firmament Blade Holder straightforwardly stated his willingness to contact Yuangang sect, leading the pursuit of the attackers.

Master Sumiao bluntly stated that True Immortal Wuxiu had returned to the Higher Realm and would soon come down with others to investigate—Mountain Master Feng, do you have any suspicions about who might have made the move?

These people were very enthusiastic. Although Feng Jun found them rather noisy, he couldn’t treat them roughly and simply said the aura had locked onto him for several days, but he wasn’t particularly clear on its origins.

It was then that Master Xiaomeng spoke up, "Mountain Master Feng, the interruption of your advancement—are you okay?"

Only then did everyone realize Feng Jun was about to advance when his progression was interrupted. The Firmament Blade Holder cursed with a dark face, "Shameless scoundrels! It seems someone deliberately disrupted Mountain Master Feng’s cultivation path. We cannot let such villains go unpunished!"

"How could I tolerate such disgrace?" Feng Jun replied, expression like still water. This time, the attack reached his doorstep. If he couldn’t unmask the culprit, it would be an indelible stain on his cultivation journey, "I don’t want to be laughed at for hundreds of years!"

Master Xiaomeng nodded, looking seriously, "Indeed, that’s how it should be. I suggest inviting True Sage Luan Xiong. As long as True Sage doesn’t make a move, it won’t affect the Kunhao Domain much."

Feng Jun shook his head and solemnly replied, "Warfare in the Insect World is very intense, having discovered over ten Voidstep Insects. Although they’re distant, they know teleportation techniques akin to our own... Several True Sages still need to protect the human cultivators."

At this point, Mei Yeyu, who had been silent, interjected, "If something happens to Mountain Master Feng, could the cultivators from the Void return?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s face changed slightly, and the Firmament Blade Holder’s mouth twitched, "So, there’s even this layer of causality? It seems those making the move have grand ambitions!"

"Primarily, they’re blocking my advancement," Feng Jun responded thoughtfully, "Secondarily, the other party is determined to trap some Tianqin elites... Otherwise, they could have targeted me anytime, why the rush now?"

Kong Ziyi nodded, clenching a small fist, "This matter must be publicized."

Now, with a significant gap in cultivation level between her and Feng Jun, her status had dramatically changed. Still, following her ’Master’ Master Sumiao and her known close ties with Feng Jun, she could occasionally interject.

Of course, her advice benefitted Feng Jun greatly, changing the nature of the matter from "Mountain Master Feng being attacked" to "someone taking advantage of Mountain Master Feng’s seclusion to ambush, intending to trap human elites in the Void."

The former was a personal grudge, and while Feng Jun’s prestige was high, whether others were willing to assist depended on the circumstances. However, the latter targeted a group—currently over ninety individuals in the Void, including True Immortals.

If these people knew they almost got trapped in the Void and couldn’t return, how would they react?

Not to mention the individuals involved, their friends, and mentors wouldn’t let it go once they realized this!

Of course, while Kong Ziyi recognized this, others could also arrive at the same conclusion. She just voiced it first.

Master Sumiao nodded, her thoughts dispersing, "From this perspective, those who went to the Void have no suspicion."

When she mentioned people, she was actually referring to the forces behind those individuals.

The Firmament Blade Holder also nodded, "Indeed, the forces with many people going have absolutely no suspicion, but with only one or two individuals, it’s uncertain... Anyway, Xuanshui Sect certainly has no suspicion."

"Jinwu Sect has no suspicion either!" Master Xiaomeng couldn’t help but defend her sect, "Despite having fewer people going this time, Jinwu Sect has a good cooperative relationship with Mountain Master Feng; there’s no reason to cut off future plans."

Speaking of the future, Master Sumiao remembered the unfinished topic from earlier. She turned her head to look at Feng Jun, "Has your advancement been seriously affected this time? I don’t think you need to personally participate in the matter of chasing the culprit."

"I have already completed my advancement," Feng Jun released the aura of the Fifth Layer Golden Core and replied in a deep voice, "I must participate in the pursuit of the culprit this time, but let’s talk about it when daylight comes."

"Oh?" The Broken Blade Steward glanced at him and exclaimed lightly, "You stabilized your realm this quickly?"

Master Xiaomeng also looked at Feng Jun and couldn’t help but express her amazement, "Have you been advancing for more than just a few days?"

Feng Jun smiled but didn’t want to say more, "The advancement went relatively smoothly this time, without too much commotion."

Everyone knew that he wanted to conceal some things, and some secrets couldn’t be randomly inquired about, but still, Master Sumiao couldn’t help but sigh, "How could you call this smooth? It was basically cheating... You’ve only been in seclusion for less than four months, right?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun couldn’t quite suppress his desire to show off, "This was the longest advancement I’ve had."

The others were speechless, but eventually, the Broken Blade Steward stood up first, "Then let’s head back and inform everyone about the situation. We can discuss the specifics when it’s daylight."

The crowd left and then spread the news, emphasizing not only that Mountain Master Feng was attacked, but also the fate of the Void travelers, causing an uproar on White Pebble Beach.

If this had happened before this trip sending people into the Void, the cultivators wouldn’t have reacted so strongly, because although Feng Jun could send people into the Void, previously, he only sent Sect Practitioners.

Whether it was the Seven Gates and Eighteen Ways or the Four Sects and Wutai, in any case, there were very few Clan Practitioners, and Loose Cultivators were even rarer. Other than Sect Practitioners, others not only coveted the Void treasure hunt but also harbored resentment, always feeling that Mountain Master Feng was "groveling" to the Sects.

But this time, most of those Feng Jun sent were Clan Practitioners and Loose Cultivators, with fewer Sect Practitioners. Only the Xuanshui Sect went in large numbers, and Mountain Master Feng even lent his female attendant Liu Yiyi to Ancestor Huang Fu.

This indicated that Mountain Master Feng held no prejudice against Loose Cultivators, and everyone might have the chance to treasure hunt in the Void in the future.

So this time, Clan Practitioners and Loose Cultivators were also furious, especially the families like Dantai, Gongyang, and Wei who entered the Void, their members voicing even louder demands, gritting their teeth, wanting to uncover the hidden culprit.

This wasn’t because Clan Practitioners lacked intelligence, but because Feng Jun’s reasoning was honest. The black hand not only targeted Feng Jun but also had a clear intention to harm the Cultivators entering the Void.

Some even suggested that with so many Clan Practitioners entering the Void this time, it might have been done by the Yinsha Sect or their superior Wanhuan Sect; their suspicion was indeed significant.

Xuanshui Sect also had a few disciples at White Pebble Beach, intending to benefit from the aura of the Golden Core companions. Upon learning the news, they notified the sect overnight — this time, more than twenty fellow members entered the Void.

Feng Jun, on the other hand, was still discussing with the Big Boss on how to find out the culprit. The Big Boss hoped he could borrow a few True Sages for the investigation, but Feng Jun expressed that if he could find out on his own, he really didn’t want to trouble the True Sages.

Prior to this, he had indeed troubled Tuotuo and Luan Xiong True Sage, both of whom were quite pleasant — but that was with reason.

True Sage Jiu Si previously had a grudge with Feng Jun, and this was an opportunity to resolve it, while Luan Xiong, whether it was carving territory in the Void or entering the Insect World, was all helped by Feng Jun, which isn’t a small favor.

To trouble those True Sages now seemed a bit inappropriate to Feng Jun, as these favors were not something easily owed.

The two argued all evening without reaching a conclusion. At dawn, a true person from Yuangang came over, informing Feng Jun that they had already reported the situation, and Yuangang Sect took it quite seriously.

However, Yuangang Sect also stated that they were currently focusing all their efforts on conquering the Insect World and were quite stretched thin, so they hoped Feng Jun could temporarily hide in the Insect World — there, Yuangang Sect guaranteed no one would dare touch him.

This was essentially empty talk, but for Yuangang Sect to offer such an explanation, along with a promise of protection, was a decent attitude. After expressing his gratitude, Feng Jun casually helped this person with some deductions.

Soon after, feedback from other powers also arrived. Dantai and Gongyang’s out-of-world disciples indicated: true immortals from the clan were rushing over.

The Wei family’s reaction was that their domain protection formation was currently being escorted by three true immortals.

The domain protection formation is also a defensive formation, but unlike ordinary defensive formations, which are linked with the earth veins and geographical formations, this type of defensive formation can also connect with the domain,

When this formation defends, it also consumes Spirit Stones, but to break this formation is equivalent to simultaneously attacking the domain.

This type of defensive formation is very rare. Only the Wei Family, forming a domain of their own and rarely coming out, researching domains extensively, can master such a defensive formation. However, limited by materials, the Wei Family does not have many sets of this formation either.

The fact that the Wei Family sent someone to escort a set over this time made their intention to show friendship very clear.
