Chapter 656: Chapter 361: Venturing into Jingzhou Together_2 Chapter 656: Chapter 361: Venturing into Jingzhou Together_2 They flew on their swords with casual expressions, clearly not noticing the two of them.
Upon closer consideration, these people were traveling together, each strong and stable in breath, and heading toward the mountains, presumably a group of cultivators on a joint training mission.
At present, the two of them were unclear about their whereabouts. Since they had encountered local cultivators, it was natural to approach them for inquiries.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianfeng said to Sun Lingâer, âFairy Sun, let us stop those few and ask for some information!â
âHmm⊠that was indeed my intention!â Sun Lingâer replied.
Seeing she had no objections, Lin Tianfeng took the lead in stepping forward, with Sun Lingâer following closely behind.
A few miles distance was not long for them, and with their cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, flying at full strength took just a few breaths.
...
Soon, Lin Tianfeng and his partner arrived directly in front of the five Qi Refining Cultivators, blocking their path.
By the time they realized what was happening, they found a man and a woman suspended in midair, looking at them with open eyes.
The auras of these two were concealed, making it impossible to discern their realm, but clearly, they were Foundation Establishment Cultivators without a doubt.
In this moment, the Qi Refining Cultivators did not dare to ignore them for fear of angering their seniors and carelessly losing their lives.
Under the lead of a Qi Refining Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, the others quickly stepped forward and respectfully saluted the pair.
Then, the lead Qi Refining Cultivator, with a respectful expression, clasped his hands in salute.
âJunior Yan Xin pays respects to the two seniors!â
âHm!â
Lin Tianfeng waved his hand to signal them not to panic. Then he began to ask, âWhere are you several headed? What mountain range is this, and where is the nearest trading city?â
Lin Tianfeng bombarded them with a series of questions, leaving them puzzled. They thought it strange that Foundation Establishment Cultivators would ask such questions.
However, owing to the cultivation realm of the pair, the group did not dare to act unusually, let alone express their inner thoughts.
At this time, the leading Qi Refining Cultivator, with a consistent demeanor, respectfully answered, âResponding to the seniors, this is the Suolo Mountain Range. We are a few Loose Cultivators planning to group together and train in the Suolo Mountain Range.â
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianfeng felt a jolt in his heart and immediately recollected information about the Suolo Mountain Range.
A few breaths later, after some thought, he still came up empty-handed.
Clearly, the Suolo Mountain Range was not within Wei Kingdomâs territory.
Otherwise, every mountain range based area in Wei Kingdom would have been recorded in his map collection, or at least heard of.
Realizing this, Lin Tianfeng roughly understood that the spatial fissure had taken them to an unknown location.
This was something he had anticipated, but only now was his suspicion confirmed.
Regaining his composure, Lin Tianfeng resumed his usual expression and signaled for Yan Xin to continue answering his questions.
âRegarding the trading city that the senior asked about, a thousand li to the west from here is the Sole Trading City, the only trading city in the Suolo Mountain Range.â
No sooner had he finished speaking, Yan Xin hurriedly took out a map from his storage bag and respectfully presented it.
Lin Tianfeng accepted the map and reviewed it, finding that the geographic information recorded was quite comprehensive.
As he saw that the Suolo Mountain Range was actually situated in the midst of the Jingzhou Huafeng Country Cultivation World, and was one of the central Ten Nations of Jingzhou, he couldnât help but be astounded.
Even with some forethought, he hadnât expected the spatial fissure to be so terrifying as to have taken them to the distant central region of Jingzhou.
To think that even though he had lost consciousness during the fleeting moment of the spatial fissure, he didnât feel that much time had passed.
In just that brief interval, they had traversed hundreds of nations, which was simply unbelievable.
âDaoist Tianfeng, has something significant occurred?â
Seeing Lin Tianfengâs face turn shades of green and white, Sun Lingâer inquired with concern.
Lin Tianfeng came to his senses and immediately handed the map to Sun Lingâer, gesturing for her to take a look.
Quickly, Sun Lingâer looked over the map, and her expression also turned unsightly, clearly just as shocked.
Yan Xin, observing their change in expressions, feared he had offended them and asked with trepidation, âSeniors? Do the seniors have any doubts?â
Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng and his partner came back to their senses.
Thereafter, Lin Tianfeng casually took out thirty spirit stones and tossed them to Yan Xin.
âIâm taking your map, and these spirit stones are for compensation. If thereâs nothing else, you may leave!â Lin Tianfeng stated and waved his hand, indicating that they could depart.
Seeing the situation, Yan Xin and the others let out a sigh of relief and, after bowing to Lin Tianfeng and his companion, they quickly left the area.
After everyone had left, Lin Tianfeng opened his mouth to Sun Lingâer and asked, âFairy Sun, we ended up in Jingzhou Huafeng Countryâs Cultivation World, and it seems hardly possible to return home in a short time!â
âJust arrived and without any encumbrances or dependents, do you have any plans for what to do next?â
Upon hearing this, Sun Lingâer looked startled, then fell into deep thought.
Lin Tianfeng was right; looking at the current situation, it seemed impossible to return to the Wei Kingdomâs Cultivation World anytime soon.
After all, she was a Loose Cultivator, truly without attachments; it made no difference where she cultivated.
And this Huafeng Countryâs Cultivation World was the central state of Jingzhou, with countless dangerous and Secret Realms, and powerful Sects and noble families abound. The overall standard of cultivation was naturally incomparable to the barren Wei Kingdom.
Even though the journey to explore the Cave Mansion Ruins had yielded her nothing, and she had been transported here against her will by a Spatial Fissure,
for her, the situation was set, and arriving in the vast land of Huafeng Country could also be seen as an opportunity.
When it came to cultivation or seeking adventure, she really didnât mind where it happened.
Thinking about this, Sun Lingâer then replied, âIt has come to this; there is not much we can do!â
âIn my opinion, we might as well settle down and cultivate here, and when the opportunity arises, itâs not too late to return to the Wei Kingdomâs Cultivation World!â
Hearing her words, Lin Tianfeng nodded, knowing that what Sun Lingâer said was true!
Thinking too far ahead for now was not very realistic; it was better to focus on cultivation and, in passing, inquire about Lin Tianhuâs whereabouts.
When conditions allowed, he naturally wanted to return to his family.
Realizing this, Lin Tianfeng then said, âFairy Sun, you speak truly; that is also what I am thinking.â
âHowever, Iâm afraid I wonât be able to fulfill the promise about exploring the Cave Mansion Ruins for the time being!â
âGiggle⊠Daoist Tianfeng, youâre too serious!â
Sun Lingâer giggled and then continued, âUnder those circumstances, I would have made the same choice as you.â
Her words were sincere, giving no indication that she cared about the enormous treasure.
What he didnât know was that her truthful words deeply touched Lin Tianfeng, causing him to hold Sun Lingâer in even higher regard.
At this time, Lin Tianfeng had calmed down and then said, âFate plays tricks on people, and by chance, we both ended up here.â
âFrankly, settling down for cultivation in this unfamiliar land wonât be easy.â
âAfter all, this is not the Wei Kingdom; here, Foundation Establishment Cultivators are mere common fish, and securing resources will inevitably involve some fighting and killing.â
âGiven that, Fairy Sun, why donât you and I join forces and try our luck together in this land?â
Lin Tianfengâs expression was determined, filled with lofty ambitions.
Hearing this, it did not take long for Sun Lingâer to agree to Lin Tianfengâs proposal.
She was well aware of the high level of cultivation in Huafeng Countryâs Cultivation Realm and the many hidden opportunities that lay there.
After all, danger and opportunity always co-exist.
The two of them were only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage; in the impoverished Wei Kingdom, they were considered strong in most places.
But here, Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage were everywhere, so indeed, they didnât amount to much.
Given this, the two understood each other, having shared life-and-death experiences together and coming from the same nation.
From various angles, teaming up indeed seemed safer and more likely to encounter fortune.
More importantly, the budding feelings she harbored for Lin Tianfeng in her heart were the biggest reason she followed him.
Understanding this, Sun Lingâer didnât hesitate and agreed to join Lin Tianfeng in his endeavors.
Her decisiveness greatly pleased Lin Tianfeng.
Even in a land far from his clan, his heart could still sense that warmth unique to the Wei Kingdom.
In light of this, Lin Tianfengâs fondness for Sun Lingâer grew stronger.
With their agreement set, Lin Tianfeng and his companion did not delay and decided to first head to Suolo Trading City to rest and regroup.
As for their subsequent cultivation arrangements, they would adapt to the situation as it unfolded.
If an opportunity arose, the two naturally would work together to seize it, and would share any dangers as well.
In the coming decades, they were bound to support each other, leaving indelible memories on this land.
