Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Full-Strength Cultivation

“Great Commander, we have searched all over Xuanming Mountain, but found no trace of Wind Shadow.”

“We haven’t found anything either, not a single clue.”

One after another, the guards returned to report, with none having any news of Feng Wuchen; it was as if he had vanished into thin air.

Ye Yongli’s face was extremely dark and unsightly. If he couldn’t capture Feng Wuchen, he had no idea how to explain to the Palace Master of Moon God Palace, let alone to Gu Xingfeng.

“Great Commander, we have been searching for three days and haven’t found Wind Shadow. Could he have already escaped Xuanming Mountain?” a guard speculated.

“Impossible!” Ye Yongli asserted with certainty: “He was hit by my palm strike and is severely injured, still carrying the wounded Bright Moon. It’s simply not possible for him to escape Xuanming Mountain, he must be hiding somewhere you haven’t looked.”

However, Ye Yongli was too self-assured; Feng Wuchen was indeed struck by his palm, but that strike was not enough to cause him serious injury.

“Continue searching, don’t miss any corner!” Ye Yongli ordered coldly.

“Yes!” The guards were most reluctant in their hearts, but none dared to defy the order, and could only search again helplessly.

The Sect Master of Glazed Light Sect had an extremely grave expression, wondering: “With so many people searching Xuanming Mountain and yet unable to find that young man, where can he be hiding?”

“Glazed Light Sect Master, rather than wasting time here, it’s better to start searching quickly,” Ye Yongli said indifferently, with a tone of giving orders.

“Ye Yongli, it’s not your place to dictate what my sect should do. Don’t forget your own status, being just a commander of Moon God Palace,” the Sect Master of Glazed Light Sect said coldly, for as the Sect Master of Glazed Light Sect, how could he allow a commander to ride roughshod over him?

“If we can’t find Wind Shadow, none of us can offer a good explanation.” Ye Yongli frowned.

“That’s your problem, not mine,” the Sect Master of the Glazed Light Sect said expressionlessly and then promptly vanished with a flicker.

“This old bastard!” Ye Yongli’s face twisted with ferocity, becoming incredibly gloomy.

The Sect Master of Glazed Light Sect was not weak in strength, comparable to Ye Yongli. If that were not the case, Ye Yongli would have attacked already.

“The Commander is so much more powerful than us but only knows to rest instead of searching, making us tire ourselves to death.”

“Indeed, the more powerful one is, the easier it would be to search. Wind Shadow can even kill a Heavenly Monarch; if he wants to hide, where could we possibly find him?”

“What can we do? He’s the Commander. Alright, let’s just search quickly, and if we can’t find him, then so be it. We’ll just go through the motions.”

A few guards grumbled quietly to themselves.

Yet right beside them, on a towering ancient tree, a large group of rainbow-colored butterflies gathered to form a graceful silhouette.

“Brother Feng hasn’t been caught by them; no wonder they have been around Xuanming Mountain these days. This is great!” Tianlan thought cheerfully and laughed in her heart.

“Butterflies, oh butterflies, go quickly and search for Brother Feng’s scent,” Tianlan muttered as her jade hands formed several seals.

Dozens of rainbow-colored butterflies then flew off in all directions.

“Who’s there?” At that moment, a chilling voice erupted.

The comer was Ye Yongli, who had sensed a fluctuation of aura and promptly arrived.

“I am a disciple of Sky Martial Sect.” Sensing the overpowering presence, Tianlan quickly replied, recognizing at a glance that the newcomer was the Great Commander of Moon God Palace.

Caught by Tianlan’s beauty the moment he saw her, Ye Yongli was momentarily stunned, then smiled lightly: “So you are a disciple of Sky Martial Sect. My apologies, miss, for frightening you.”

Tianlan, dressed in a azure gauze dress with a distinguished demeanor and stunningly beautiful appearance, seemed to be unsullied by mud, extremely beautiful, with the most eye-catching feature being her proud figure, as if the bunnies were about to leap out.

No wonder Ye Yongli was somewhat lost in his gaze.

Tianlan gave a faint smile and then turned into a swarm of rainbow-colored butterflies and flew away.

“Sky Martial Sect actually has such a beautiful woman.” Ye Yongli stood transfixed, watching the place where Tianlan disappeared, as if his soul had been hooked away.

…

After a few days of healing, Bright Moon’s injuries have recovered by fifty percent, and her originally pale beautiful face has regained some of its rosiness.

“The injuries have healed quite a bit; it’s time for us to go back,” Bright Moon said, turning her gaze towards Feng Wuchen.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen slowly opened his eyes and said, “You go back first, I plan to cultivate here, hoping to break through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm as soon as possible.”

“Break through the Heavenly Monarch?” Bright Moon looked at Feng Wuchen in great astonishment.

It seemed as if the words “break through to the Heavenly Monarch” uttered from Feng Wuchen’s mouth were as easy as turning over his hand.

Bright Moon herself had spent several years in the later stage of the King Realm before breaking through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, which illustrates the difficulty of this advancement.

Having recently joined the Tianying Pavilion, Feng Wuchen’s cultivation level had soared to the late stage of the King Realm, provoking intense envy among the Tianying Pavilion assassins.

“You’re about to break through to the Heavenly Monarch?” Bright Moon asked.

Feng Wuchen shook his head and said, “Not yet, how can it be so easy to break through to the Heavenly Monarch? However, I have a treasure, the Purple Gold Soul Devouring Stone, which can help a Heavenly Monarch strengthen their cultivation by one level.”

“Purple Gold Soul Devouring Stone?” Bright Moon’s expression changed dramatically.

From the shocked look on Bright Moon’s face, it was obvious she was aware of the mightiness of the Purple Gold Soul Devouring Stone.

“Indeed,” Feng Wuchen said with a smile.

Feng Wuchen had already started cultivating with the Purple Gold Soul Devouring Stone a few days ago, which considerably improved his cultivation level.

However, due to Bright Moon’s recovery from her injuries, Feng Wuchen had to interrupt his cultivation.

“If that’s the case, I won’t disturb your cultivation any longer. Be very careful,” Bright Moon said after a moment of daze, then rose to leave.

As soon as Bright Moon left, Feng Wuchen’s figure also vanished.

When he reappeared, Feng Wuchen was already in the fifth layer space of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.

“Avatar Technique!”

Dozens of Primordial Spirit Avatars condensed and crazily absorbed the pure energy of the fifth layer space.

Once every Primordial Spirit Avatar had absorbed energy to their limit, with a single thought, Feng Wuchen instantly moved to the seventh layer space and immediately entered a state of cultivation.

Only by utilizing time so perfectly could Feng Wuchen break through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm in the shortest time possible.

…

Tianying Pavilion.

The calm yet eerily murderous Sun Moon Lake welcomed a special visitor today.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

Several Heavenly Monarch level assassins flashed onto the lake surface, intercepting the newcomer.

“Spirit Emperor Temple’s honorable Gu Xingfeng!” one of the Heavenly Monarch powerhouses said with a frown, instantly recognizing Gu Xingfeng.

“Swoosh!”

In the next second, the newcomer blinked past the Heavenly Monarch assassins with incredibly terrifying speed, surpassing their reactions completely.

In the blink of an eye, the visitor had already reached the grand entrance of the Tianying Pavilion palace.

“You can’t stop me,” the visitor said coldly, “Perhaps Zhufeng would have the ability to do so.”

“Honorable Gu Xingfeng of the Spirit Emperor Temple requests an audience with the Pavilion Master of the Tianying Pavilion, on urgent matters,” Gu Xingfeng then stated arrogantly, his voice resonating throughout the Tianying Pavilion.

“Ah, so it’s the honorable Gu Xingfeng,” a faint chuckling of Ying Hun came from within the palace.
