268: Chapter 268 Catastrophe and Opportunity

The vast medicinal garden had likewise become even more fertile.

Gao Feng carefully planted the seeds of the mid-grade Spiritual Plant "Purple Haze Grass" that he had exchanged from the Sect treasury.

He knew how rare this precious Spiritual Plant, which could be used to refine high-grade Medicinal Pill, was in the outside world.

Yet now, he could plant it as freely as growing cabbages!

Tianxin also began a brand-new Cultivate in her Immortal Cave.

She completely immersed herself in the profound world of The General Outline of Ancient Talismans, beginning to attempt the practice of high-grade Talisman techniques that only a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator could barely draw.

She knew that the gap between herself and Gao Feng was growing wider and wider.

She did not want to become a burden to him.

She wanted to strive to catch up to his pace!

She wanted to stand side-by-side with him at the Peak of this world!

...

Time flew by amidst this calm and fulfilling Cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, several more months had passed.

On this day, the Sect Master suddenly summoned Gao Feng and Tianxin to his closed-door cultivation chamber.

"You have come."

The Sect Master looked at the golden boy and jade girl before him, whose auras had become increasingly profound and powerful, and a faint, gratified smile appeared on his usually placid face.

"Sect Master, may I ask why you have summoned us here?" Gao Feng asked respectfully.

"The War of Ten Thousand Races is about to break out in full scale."

The Sect Master's expression suddenly became incredibly solemn, "We have just received the highest directive from the headquarters in the Core Great World."

"The headquarters plans to select a group of the most elite True Disciple from the various branch Sects to go to the headquarters for three years of intensive training."

"After the intensive training ends, you will be sent to various different world battlefields to participate in real cross-world warfare!"

"Cross-world warfare?!"

Hearing this, Gao Feng and Tianxin could not help but gasp!

They could never have imagined that the scale of this war would be so immense!

"That's right." The Sect Master nodded and said in a deep voice, "This is a catastrophe that will sweep across the heavens and myriad worlds! It is also an unprecedented, massive Opportunity!"

"On those different world battlefields, you will encounter all kinds of powerful enemies, and you will also encounter all kinds of Heaven-Defying Opportunity!"

"For you, this is a test with a nine-in-ten chance of death, but also an excellent Opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate!"

"Are you willing to go?"

"Disciple is willing!"

Gao Feng and Tianxin did not hesitate at all and answered in unison.

Their eyes were burning with raging flames!

They knew that this was an Opportunity they had to seize!

"Good!" The Sect Master nodded with satisfaction, "Set off in three days."

...

When Gao Feng returned to his serene Immortal Cave once again.

His heart remained unsettled for a long time.

The Core Great World!

Cross-world warfare!

These words, filled with mystery and the unknown, made his blood boil uncontrollably!

He walked to the window of the Immortal Cave, looking at the boundless, vast sky in the distance, his deep eyes flashing with an unprecedented light of determination.

"The Foundation Establishment Stage is just a beginning."

"The stage of the Core Great World is even larger! In the struggle for hegemony among the ten thousand races, I, Gao Feng, will surely be able to stand firm!"

"In the future, I will explore even more worlds! Perhaps, there might even be a possibility of returning!"

He thought of that azure blue planet.

He thought of the place where he had once lived.

An unprecedentedly powerful motivation grew wildly in his heart!

He had to become stronger!

Strong enough to traverse endless time and space, to go to any place he wanted to go!

He gripped the golden longsword in his hand that had long since merged with him, and slowly closed his eyes.

That supreme Body Refining Cultivation Technique obtained as a reward from the Sect—"Prison-Suppressing Divine Body Art"—flowed slowly through his mind.

A vast aura, even more overbearing and terrifying than the Vajra Subduing Demon Art, slowly rose from his body!

He knew that a brand-new journey, even more magnificent and splendid, was about to unfold slowly beneath his feet!

And he would surely use the sword in his hand to carve out his own path of immortal legend amidst these heavens and myriad worlds!

However, just as Gao Feng was immersed in infinite longing for the future, a brilliant stream of light tore through the sky like lightning and hovered with extreme precision in front of his Immortal Cave door.

It was an urgent jade Talisman with profound runes flowing all over its body, and the majestic aura it emitted caused the Spiritual Qi in the entire True Disciple area to pause slightly.

Gao Feng's heart stirred; he stepped out of the Immortal Cave and reached out to catch the jade Talisman.

As his Divine Sense probed inside, a vast and urgent torrent of information instantly flooded into his mind!

"Highest directive from the Wuxiang Sect headquarters: The War of Ten Thousand Races has broken out in full scale, and the Human Race defense line in the Meteor World is in critical condition! It is hereby ordered that all newly promoted True Disciple of the entire Sect must report to the Tian Xuan Mountain training camp within ten days! Those who pass the assessment will be immediately assigned to the cross-world warfare legion to reinforce the Meteor World!"

Just a few short lines, yet they were filled with the heaviness and killing intent of an impending storm!

Meteor World!

Cross-world warfare!

Unexpectedly, this day had come so quickly!

Gao Feng's gaze instantly became incredibly sharp; he knew that there was not much time left for them to prepare.

Having started as Menial Laborer, he and Tianxin did not have a Foundation as deep as those children of aristocratic families, but they had reached this point relying on repeated life-and-death battles and had long been regarded by the Sect upper echelons as young combat forces to be cultivated as a priority.

This intensive training was both a test and an Opportunity!

"Tianxin!"

Gao Feng did not hesitate at all and immediately sent a sound transmission to Tianxin in the neighboring Immortal Cave.

A moment later, Tianxin's beautiful figure appeared in his Immortal Cave, her face also carrying a trace of solemnity.

Clearly, she had also received the same Sect directive.

"Gao Feng, we only have ten days left." Tianxin's voice was crisp, yet carried a hint of urgency.

"It's enough!" Gao Feng nodded, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "We must use these ten days to elevate our combat power to the extreme!"

The two looked at each other, both seeing the unspoken tacit understanding and determination in the other's eyes.

Without any extra nonsense, they immediately began their respective preparations for battle.

Gao Feng entered that mysterious portable space once again.

At this moment, although his Foundation Establishment Stage One Early Phase cultivation was stable, his Physical Body, having suffered heavy damage and undergone a Breakthrough in the battle at Demon Suppressing City, still had room for polishing.

Although his bones and muscles, tempered over the years, were tough enough to withstand a full-force strike from a Peak of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining Cultivator, it was far from enough on the upcoming cross-world battlefield.

His gaze fell upon the thriving patch of mid-grade Spiritual Plant "Purple Haze Grass" in the medicinal garden.

This Spiritual Plant contained extremely pure plant essence and was an excellent Materials for refining body tempering pill.

"This is it!"

Gao Feng did not hesitate to pick several stalks of mature Purple Haze Grass, sat cross-legged on the spot, mobilized the golden Spiritual Qi within his Dantian, and began to refine the Medicinal Pill.

Without a Pill Furnace, he used his own powerful Spiritual Qi as fire and his Divine Sense as a hammer to purify, compress, and perform Fusion on the medicinal power of the Purple Haze Grass bit by bit.

This was a refining technique that consumed an immense amount of mental energy and Spiritual Qi, but for Gao Feng, who had a vast sea of golden spiritual liquid as his backing, it was not a difficult task.

Three days later.

Three Medicinal Pill, entirely wreathed in purple rosy clouds and emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, floated quietly in his palm.

Purple Haze body tempering pill!

This pill could not only rapidly recover injuries to the Physical Body in critical moments but also instantly stimulate blood and Qi, allowing his close-combat explosive power to rise to another level!

This was the trump card he had prepared for his own survival.

Meanwhile, waves of powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations also permeated Tianxin's Immortal Cave.

She knew well that her Peak of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining cultivation did not hold an advantage in the upcoming True Disciple intensive training.

Her greatest reliance was her Talisman attainments, which far exceeded those of her peers.

For three full days, she completely sealed herself inside the Immortal Cave, focused single-mindedly, and immersed all her mental energy in the drawing of Talisman.

When she walked out of the Immortal Cave again, although there was a trace of fatigue in her eyes, there was even more full confidence.

In her Storage Pouch lay twenty Thunder Explosion Talismans capable of threatening a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, five Defense Talisman capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and three of the most precious Escape Talismans that could be used to flee at critical moments!

These were the powerful aids she had prepared for herself and for Gao Feng.

Just as the two had finished their preparations and were about to set off, a sound transmission Talisman flew in quietly.

"Gao Feng, Tianxin, come to my Xuanchen Peak immediately for a talk."

It was the voice of Inner Sect Elder Xuanchenzi.

The two did not dare to delay and immediately set off.

On Xuanchen Peak, clouds and mist swirled; Xuanchenzi, dressed in a cyan Daoist robe, possessed an immortal demeanor and was standing quietly under an ancient pine tree.

"Disciple pays respects to Elder Xuanchen!" The two bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities." Xuanchenzi turned around, his gaze sweeping over the two, a trace of approval revealing itself in his eyes, "Your growth is even faster than this old man imagined."

He did not engage in too much small talk and went straight to the point: "I have summoned you here this time because there are some things I must instruct you on."

"The intensive training at Tian Xuan Mountain is full of hidden talents." Xuanchenzi's expression became serious, "What you are about to face is not just Genius from other branch Sects, but also many children from cultivation aristocratic families of the Core Great World. They have been piled with countless resources since childhood; their Cultivation Technique, Magic Treasure, and secret arts are far beyond what you can imagine. You must not take this lightly."

"And as for the Meteor World," he paused and continued, "According to intelligence from headquarters, the main force of the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Races this time is the Demon Flame Race, the Rock Yao Race, and the Shadow Demon Race. The Demon Flame Race is born with control over demonic fire, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas; the Rock Yao Race has a formidable Physical Body and immense strength. But the ones you need to be most vigilant against are the Shadow Demon Race and the Star Race!"

"The Shadow Demon Race comes and goes without a trace, most skilled at assassinations on the Soul level, making them impossible to guard against! And the Star Race, although few in number, is born proficient in spatial secret arts, making them eerie and unpredictable. You must be extra cautious!"

"Take these."
