Chapter 1868: with translation of chapter title

Xiao Feng sent He Xianzi to the Origin Mi Jing to wait for her lover; when they went, Feng Feng Shi hadn't arrived yet, so he abandoned He Xianzi and left on his own.

The Machine Clan and Divine Clan players haven't finished climbing the first stage's challenge, so there's no need to linger too long inside.

When exiting the Origin Mi Jing, Xiao Feng returned to the lakeside; the Black Water Divine Turtle hadn't returned to the water yet, and was standing there dazed.

"Um, Dao… Dao friend, you…"

He stammered, speaking a bit nervously, wanting to ask Xiao Feng which Dao Ancestor he was close with, and ask for a spot to listen to lectures at the Daoist venue.

But Xiao Feng just smiled: "She doesn't like being disturbed." Then he refused.

Afterwards he opened the entrance to the Chaos Secret Realm and returned to his own private little world.

When the Chaos Secret Realm opened, the Black Water Divine Turtle sensed the incredibly rich spiritual energy inside, and was utterly shocked.

"This… this is a secret realm he himself opened up! His cultivation has just reached the God King level, yet he possesses such tremendous power! This person is terrifying… Wait! I remember now—he's the 'Human Adventurer Xiao Feng' spoken of by several ancestors!"

The Black Water Divine Turtle muttered to himself, then suddenly had an epiphany.

No wonder when I just heard Xiao Feng introduce himself I felt familiar; now, upon thinking, it all clicked.

This is an existence that even Sovereign-level ancestors greatly dread; during the Primeval God era, it fought the Savage Beast Clan's Sovereign and the Three-Era Qiongqi.

Although it didn't win, the story spread widely, becoming one of the Three-Era Qiongqi's laughingstocks.

Since the ancestors of each clan entered seclusion, the Sovereigns have instructed their subordinates and disciples: one must not provoke the Human Adventurer Xiao Feng, for if one does, one's own death is trivial, but bringing calamity upon the clan is a crime worthy of myriad deaths.

Thinking of this, the Black Water Divine Turtle felt a pang of fear; fortunately it hadn't acted arrogantly like that fool, the Mighty Power Demon, otherwise things would have gotten serious.

"Human Xiao Feng coming here probably wants to go to the Void Sea. The Void Sea is our clan's holy land; although a Dao Ancestor guards it, the Dao Ancestor doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs, and the Sovereign ancestors are all in seclusion, so ordinary powerhouses likely aren't his match. I must return to send a warning, lest my fellow Daoists stir up big trouble."

The Black Water Divine Turtle thought to himself.

Immediately afterward, its body shrank to three or four meters, and it sped toward the entrance of the Void Sea.

Immediately after, the body shrank, becoming three or four meters in size, and rushed toward the direction of the Void Sea entrance.

……

Xiao Feng returned to the Chaos Secret Realm, seizing the time to begin entering a cultivation state.

The closer he got to the Void Sea, the more he wanted to gain a few more levels, fearing his strength wouldn't be enough and that he'd encounter obstruction and be unable to contend.

He cultivated with multiple focuses; his enlightenment and will-tempering never ceased, even during his recent clash with the Red Mighty Power Demon, he never stopped tempering.

Returning to the secret realm was solely to increase his cultivation.

Twelve hours of seated meditation passed quickly.

Not long after, Xiao Feng finished today's cultivation, and his level increased somewhat.

The essence of the Spirit-Gathering Divine Tree gives him one level each day; adding what he gains from his own cultivation and the conversion of Qi Luck, his level surges rapidly, heading straight to chase Feng Feng Shi, and he will soon surpass her.

After his cultivation ended, Xiao Feng flew to the treetop to check on the little Xuan Die.

This little brat sleeps all day; whenever he comes, he's curled up in the cocoon snoring loudly. That carefree appearance makes one envious.

However, when looking at her, Xiao Feng often thinks of the senior Xuan Die, inevitably feeling guilty.

"Ah, if only Senior Xuan Die were still here."

Xiao Feng sighed lightly.

Recently many things have happened; although someone could confide in, my friends' strength isn't enough, so the feeling when communicating is still not quite the same.

If it were Senior Xuan Die, she would surely give him some pointers, making his cultivation clearer. Moreover, on the Void Sea side, when he arrives, Senior Xuan Die would certainly tell him which powerhouses to watch out for and which to avoid provoking.

But now… he can only rely on himself to figure things out.

The little brat hadn't woken up; Xiao Feng walked out of the palace, greeted Cai Yi, then opened the secret realm and appeared outside.

After he left, the little girl inside the cocoon curled the corners of her mouth slightly; hearing his light sigh, she felt greatly relieved.

But soon she composed her expression again, fearing to be discovered.

"Da Bai, let's keep on the road!"

After leaving the secret realm, Xiao Feng immediately summoned He Xianzi and set out on the road to the Void Sea.

"Okay, big brother… By the way, big brother, why are you calling me my old name again?" He Xianzi also had a satisfying day today, her tone quite lively.

Xiao Feng replied: "I don't know; maybe I suddenly felt nostalgic."

"Is that so? Well then, I'll reluctantly let you ride me today." Seeing his somewhat emo look, He Xianzi immediately transformed into a beautiful immortal crane for him to ride.

Xiao Feng mounted, and He Xianzi flicked her wings, shooting off like lightning.

Flying, flying…

The journey is always so boring.

They flew straight toward the Void Sea.

Before they knew it, twelve hours were almost up.

Around the last ten minutes of the journey, Xiao Feng suddenly sensed a powerful aura nearby.

Upon careful discernment, the aura felt quite familiar, very much like the Black Water Divine Turtle he'd seen yesterday!

No… not right!

To be precise, it's the Black Water Divine Turtle himself!

"Big brother, that isn't the old tortoise from yesterday, is it? How did he get ahead of us?" He Xianzi whispered.

Several thousand kilometers ahead of them, a miniature Black Water Divine Turtle was flying along.

He seemed to have sensed Xiao Feng's aura as well, and began to slow down.

Not long after, the two met in the air.

"Fellow Daoist Black Water Divine Turtle, what a coincidence, we meet again." Xiao Feng greeted him first.

It's been a day, and meeting across tens of millions of kilometers is truly quite a coincidence.

The Black Water Divine Turtle also returned the greeting: "Yeah, Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng, where are you off to play?"

"The Void Sea, and you?"

Well, me too, I've recently started missing home; I'll go back and take a look.

Oh? Yesterday you were still saying...

So it's just a sudden bout of homesickness; this is a spur-of-the-moment homecoming." Black Water Divine Turtle chuckled.

Xiao Feng smiled and said: "Alright, then you keep on your journey; I'll go back to cultivate first."

After speaking, he opened the entrance to the Origin Mi Jing and entered the blue-stone platform area of the Origin Mi Jing.

Black Water Divine Turtle watched him leave, silently muttering: "His mount is too terrifying! I flew at full speed all day, yet he could still catch up! No way, today I must activate the Law Secret Technique for speed; I can't let him catch up again, otherwise it'd be too embarrassing!"

Saying that, he released a special speed-boosting method and flew at an even greater speed.

However… the divine turtle is ultimately a turtle; its aptitude for speed is still somewhat lacking. Even after using the Law Secret Technique for speed, it cannot match a ninth-grade spirit beast, He Xianzi, which is two cultivation realms lower than it.
