135: Han Feng
The old man's voice was extremely ancient.
It was as if he had lived here for millions of years.
He was melancholic and desolate.
And your appearance seemed to bring him some amusement.
"I come from a world called Dark Shadow Star, what about you?"
Upon hearing this, your brows furrowed.
And seeing your expression, the old man seemed to understand everything.
He sighed softly and began to speak to himself, "We outsiders are ultimately not favored by this world."
"I have seen countless outsiders like you and me in my life, and all of them were mysteriously killed, dying on the path to becoming an Immortal Venerable."
Hearing this, you were greatly shocked and immediately asked the old man why this was.
The old man seemed to have opened up, continuously pouring out everything he knew to you.
It turned out that in this world, there were quite a few outsiders like you.
Each of them possessed extraordinary Luck, and their path of Cultivation could be said to be smooth sailing.
But even with such Heaven-Defying Luck, these people would mysteriously die before achieving the Immortal Venerable Realm.
No one knew why this was.
Including the old man.
However, the old man had always been cautious, and after seeing an outsider mysteriously die tens of thousands of years ago, he began to suppress his Cultivation speed.
And he concealed his aura, hoping that others would not notice him.
He succeeded.
He successfully survived until now.
But at the same time, his lifespan was also coming to an end.
This forced him to attempt a Breakthrough to Immortal Venerable.
"However... I feel like I might have found a way to Breakthrough."
The old man took a deep breath.
Then his robes moved without wind, and his powerful Cultivation was revealed.
Immortal Lord Peak!
"Throughout history, no outsider has ever become an Immortal Venerable, but I, Mo Xiao, might be able to fill this void."
As soon as his voice fell, a powerful life force suddenly appeared beside Mo Xiao.
His white hair instantly turned black, and his wrinkles immediately disappeared.
"Come on!"
"Rumble!!!"
Terrifying Lightning Tribulation clouds instantly engulfed Mo Xiao.
Although you stood far away, you could clearly feel Mo Xiao's aura instantly weaken.
"Hahahaha, I succeeded, I succeeded!"
"The Lightning Tribulation can't kill me! I, Mo Xiao, shall achieve the Dao here today..."
Mo Xiao's voice came to an abrupt halt.
And in your perception, his aura also instantly weakened to the extreme!
A moment later, the Lightning Tribulation completely dissipated.
But where Mo Xiao had stood, there was now nothing.
He died!
This situation made your scalp tingle.
Because from your perspective, Mo Xiao was powerful, and his success rate for a Breakthrough was at least sixty to seventy percent.
With such a probability, while not a guaranteed Breakthrough, he shouldn't have died so miserably.
Then there was only one truth.
What Mo Xiao said was true!
Outsiders would be blocked by an unknown force when attempting to Breakthrough to the Immortal Venerable Realm!
This would cause them to fail their Breakthrough and die!
You were restless for a long time, only recovering several hours later.
You sighed softly, then began to collect the bronze swords in this space.
The two thousand seven hundredth year.
You successfully refined all the bronze swords in this world, and your Cultivation also Broke through to Immortal King fourth layer.
And there was nothing left here for you to linger over.
You left this world and, relying on your considerable Cultivation, joined the Taiqing Sect.
You became a Taiqing Sect Deacon.
Using the Taiqing Sect's information network, you began to inquire about the ten thousand spirits return to origin pill while also searching for Immortal Artifacts.
The three thousandth year.
You were thriving within the Taiqing Sect.
Because you were generous, many Taiqing Sect Disciples were willing to work for you.
At the same time, over these years, you also obtained many Immortal Herbs through the Year Wheel Gift.
The three thousand and fifth year.
Through a Taiqing Sect Disciple, you met an Elder from the Taiqing Sect's Pill Peak.
This person was named Han Feng, an Immortal Emperor Cultivator, and one of the top Alchemists in the Taiqing Sect.
Although this person was insatiably greedy, you gave him many benefits for the sake of his ability to refine the ten thousand spirits return to origin pill.
Han Feng agreed to refine the Medicinal Pill for you.
However, before that, he told you that the ten thousand spirits return to origin pill was a top-tier fifth-grade Immortal Pill, not only capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bones, but also able to Awaken hidden Bloodline Power, making it extremely precious.
The Immortal Herbs required were also numerous and expensive.
Furthermore, he would only act for you once.
Regardless of success or failure, there would be no further obligation between you.
You readily accepted his request and began searching for the Immortal Herbs needed for the ten thousand spirits return to origin pill.
The three thousand one hundredth year.
Nearly a century passed in a flash, and you successfully gathered all the Immortal Herbs needed for one ten thousand spirits return to origin pill by utilizing the various resources obtained through the Year Wheel Gift.
But who would have thought that when you found Han Feng, he greedily demanded more benefits from you again.
And he claimed that his Alchemy skills had greatly improved, and if he were to refine the Medicinal Pill for you now, the success rate would be much higher than before.
Helplessly, you had no choice but to agree to his terms.
But in your heart, this person had already sealed his fate.
The three thousand one hundred and first year.
Han Feng started his Alchemy furnace, and soon, a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance spread throughout the entire Pill Peak.
"It seems this person's Alchemy skills have indeed improved."
You rejoiced in your heart, intending to spare his life for now.
But Han Feng's next words greatly surprised you.
He told you that the Alchemy had failed.
At the final stage of forming the Medicinal Pill, due to the insufficient age of the Immortal Herbs you provided, the Medicinal Pill failed to take shape.
They failed to condense and had already become a pile of dregs.
A cold glint flashed in your eyes, but on the surface, you still smilingly "accepted" this result.
The three thousand one hundred and fifth year.
Han Feng went out to participate in an Alchemy conference, and the moment he left the Taiqing Sect, you immediately activated the Law of Space and followed him.
When he passed a desolate mountain, you made your move.
The Eternal Life Sword struck out, and the terrifying sword momentum instantly solidified, breaking through layers of the Void Realm, heading straight for Han Feng!
"Clang!!!"
However, Han Feng was, after all, an Immortal Emperor expert and a top Alchemist; he carried many Immortal Artifacts that protected him, and the moment the sword momentum touched him, it was blocked.
