314: King Hun Tian's true intentions are revealed!

Time flew by.

Guo Feng sat in the ancient pavilion, doing nothing in particular, just relaxing, admiring the moon, the mountains, and the night view.

Anyway, whether he sat or lay down, he was making money!

The moon set, the sun rose.

The sky began to clear.

Suddenly, in the sky, the clouds changed drastically, even forming a huge vortex.

Seven-colored clouds, like flowers, seemed to be falling to the ground.

In the separate courtyard where Lord Huntian was, golden lotuses suddenly emerged.

But they appeared very blurry.

Streaks of lightning wandered among the clouds.

A violent roar resounded between heaven and earth.

"Could it be that Lord Huntian is about to break through to Immortal Rank?"

Seeing such a huge commotion, Guo Feng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

As he spoke, the entire mountain peak began to tremble.

The frequency of the vibrations became faster and faster.

But—

It was like when a husband and wife were playing music in harmony, but suddenly one party finished earlier than expected.

The myriad abnormal phenomena in the sky receded like a tide.

It was as if all efforts had failed.

"Alas!"

Just then, Lord Huntian's sigh reached Guo Feng's ears.

Then, Guo Feng saw Lord Huntian suddenly appear in front of him.

He couldn't discern Lord Huntian's current mental state.

Because he felt that Lord Huntian was like a person in a shell.

Making it impossible for anyone to see through him.

He couldn't even clearly see his appearance.

"Failed?" Guo Feng asked.

"This is the closest I've ever been to Immortal Rank, but I still failed."

Lord Huntian shook his head, "Your breakthrough spiritual fruit is very useful, but I already know that my realm is bound by some kind of rule."

"What rule?"

Guo Feng couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know."

Lord Huntian sighed, "But I can already confirm that in the Spirit Realm, or rather on Earth, one cannot break through to Immortal Rank."

He then looked at Guo Feng, "So, I need you to investigate whether those at the ninth-grade ninth-level were brought to the Chaotic Empire after they had already broken through, or if they reached their limit, were just a hair's breadth away, and then were taken away."

"Why would you think that?"

Guo Feng raised an eyebrow, "What I heard was that they were taken away once they broke through to Immortal Rank."

"No."

Lord Huntian shook his head, "Once one breaks through to Immortal Rank, if he wants to run, or runs in advance, it's really hard to lock him down. Moreover, you don't understand, there's an extremely difficult point when breaking through Immortal Rank from ninth-grade ninth-level. I have a feeling they went voluntarily."

He then said, "In short, we can assume this for now, and you just need to verify it. Also, you need to investigate the situation of the Chaotic Empire."

"Oh."

Guo Feng didn't quite understand Lord Huntian's thoughts, but since he said so, if there was an opportunity to investigate, he wouldn't mind doing so.

However, if it was too difficult, he certainly wouldn't take risks for Lord Huntian.

After all, they weren't close.

"Alright, here are the Five Elements spiritual items I've collected: essence of white gold, essence of green wood, essence of black water, essence of crimson fire, and after earth essence."

"These things are all very rare, and it took me a lot of effort to collect them."

"Take them."

Then, as Lord Huntian spoke, with a wave of his hand, a total of twenty-five colorful, faintly glowing crystals, containing a strong Five Elements Qi, like mica, fell onto the table in the ancient pavilion.

Guo Feng knew about after earth essence, but he had never seen the others.

However, the essence of crimson fire contained intense fire energy, which was countless times higher in quality than lieyang stone.

He knew that these things were indeed very precious.

But he had given Lord Huntian fifty strengthening fruit, which were worthless to him.

However, to others, they were priceless treasures.

So, he didn't feel like he was taking advantage.

He smiled, "Then many thanks, Lord Huntian."

After speaking, he unhesitatingly collected all twenty-five expensive Five Elements essences.

With these things, it would be more convenient for him to cultivate Five Elements Qi later.

"Alright, take the after earth essence and cultivate the Earth Sovereign True Body; I will help you with spiritual energy."

Lord Huntian said, looking at Guo Feng.

Guo Feng, however, hesitated a little.

Cultivation was inherently the most private matter for a person.

Moreover, sometimes, cultivation was also the most vulnerable time.

Lord Huntian seemed to have seen through Guo Feng's thoughts and smiled, "Cultivating the Earth Sovereign True Body is very troublesome, but if you succeed, your benefits will be great."

"Your biggest problem when challenging Zhang Tai Dou beyond your rank is that your physical strength is insufficient. If you didn't have special recovery methods, his every move and strike could kill you from the recoil."

"What if you encounter someone stronger?"

"If your physical strength is insufficient, one strike will kill you, and you won't even have a chance to recover."

"The Earth Sovereign True Body requires constant breaking and rebuilding, integrating Earth Sovereign Qi into your bones, and even your bone marrow. It will take an unknown amount of time for you to complete it on your own."

He also said, "And I can help you quickly integrate it into your bones. At that time, your bones will have extremely strong defense, making it very difficult for ordinary people to kill you."

"When the Earth Sovereign True Body integrates into your bone marrow, you will be able to generate an undying power. Unless your brain or spiritual consciousness is destroyed, it will be very difficult to kill you."

"Of course, this process is extremely slow; even I haven't fully integrated it into my bone marrow."

"But at least, for every bit it integrates, your defense will become stronger by a bit!"

He then looked at Guo Feng, "I can at least help you reduce ten years of arduous cultivation."

"Uh..."

Guo Feng had also learned about the Earth Sovereign True Body.

But he really didn't know that cultivating the Earth Sovereign True Body was so difficult.

However, the more Lord Huntian said this, the more worried he became that Lord Huntian would do something to him.

From beginning to end, he was extremely wary of Lord Huntian.

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands, "Senior Lord Huntian, I apologize, but I haven't planned to cultivate the Earth Sovereign True Body yet, and thank you for your kind intentions."

"You don't trust me?!"

Lord Huntian's voice carried a hint of coercion, his gaze piercing through the aura.

Giving Guo Feng immense pressure.

It seemed that with the slightest mistake, he would be directly killed by Lord Huntian.

Guo Feng's heart instantly leaped to his throat.

But he still shrugged, "Senior Lord Huntian, this isn't about trust or not; it's just that I really haven't planned to cultivate the Earth Sovereign True Body."

"Hmm, alright."

Lord Huntian nodded, then smiled, "Guo Feng, it seems we are both the same kind of people, unwilling to easily trust anyone."

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out sharply towards Guo Feng.

A violent roar resounded in Guo Feng's ears!

His body was even suppressed by a terrifying force!

In an instant, he lost control, and he saw Lord Huntian's hand, glowing, slowly insert into his chest.

"You, what are you doing?"

Guo Feng asked with great difficulty.

"I have two ways to control you. One is to invade your spirit while you are cultivating; this is the most cost-effective."

"But this requires you to be completely unguarded, or not resist at all."

"The other method is to engrave a cage formation on your heart."

"To completely enslave you."

"Guo Feng, my lifespan is running out. I must break through to Immortal Rank within three years."

"Otherwise, I can only grow old and die."

"I told you before that there's an extremely difficult point when breaking through Immortal Rank, which is that when you are at the ninth-grade ninth-level, your lifespan will be consumed at ten times the speed."

"I can't wait any longer."

"I must ensure that you are under my control!"

Lord Huntian's cold voice echoed in Guo Feng's ears, and at the same time, his fingertips penetrated Guo Feng's sternum.

Touching Guo Feng's heart!

"No—"

Guo Feng was terrified. If he were to be controlled by Lord Huntian, he would completely lose himself.

He would rather die than compromise.

He suddenly thought of something, then cursed in his heart, "System, you idiot..."
