Chapter 2239

The Nine Provinces world, Mount Xihuang.

Xiao Feng, who was contemplating the laws of creation, was awakened by an external force.

He had been sitting in meditation here for two years; since he began Enlightenment, the various experts on the mountain had not disturbed him, and Feng Feng Shi had not spoken to him—any matters were communicated in the game.

I never expected that, in the end, he would be interrupted by that youngster down the mountain.

That person down the mountain is none other than the former Storm God Han Que from the game.

Not long after he returned to the Nine Provinces, he was taken by the Old Ancestor Fuxi and brought to Mount Xihuang to cultivate.

Over these two years, Xiao Feng's Divine Sense also detected him, and he has been secretly observing.

Han Que is at the Mountain Base; aside from flowers, grasses, and trees, there is almost nothing around him, yet he is trapped in an illusion, constantly feeling that demons and monsters surround him, brandishing his mountain-splitting blade and wits against the air.

I thought such days would continue forever.

I never imagined that after two years of struggling, that fellow would actually break through the illusion and enter Mount Xihuang!

"Hahaha, I finally came out! Old Ancestor Fuxi, I come to pay my respects!"

Han Que, long trapped in the illusion, finally emerged with difficulty, and he was overjoyed, letting out a long cry to the heavens.

It was just that shout that startled Xiao Feng and Feng Feng Shi, among others.

Han Que is not yet a controller; he has just stepped into the level of higher extraordinary life, and in this special environment of Mount Xihuang he cannot fly.

He hurriedly ran up the mountain, his emotions surging.

At this moment, Xiao Feng also realized that his contemplation was finished; after meeting his friend shortly, he would be about to leave.

But just as he was about to stop his contemplation and open his eyes, a voice came to his ear: "Make a move and give him a lesson."

Feng Feng Shi happened to go offline at this moment,

and made a request of Xiao Feng.

"Teach him a lesson? How?" Xiao Feng wondered.

Han Que is, after all, his friend; the guy just passed a trial, and for him to jump out and beat him up feels unjustifiable.

Moreover, this fellow is an ancestor of Han Zichen; given his current relationship with Han Zichen, he ought to show at least some respect.

Feng Feng Shi said: "Making noise on Mount Xihuang deserves punishment. My father will be returning soon; if you behave well, perhaps he will give you some pointers."

"Ah? Old Ancestor Fuxi is coming back?" Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise.

He then decisively replied: "Leave it to me!"

As for friendship, when it's time to strike, there's no need to be too polite.

Han Que was running quite fast; Xiao Feng and Feng Feng Shi's thought communication took only an instant, and he was already nearing the mountainside.

Xiao Feng immediately opened his eyes; with a thought, he reshaped his facial features using the primordial qi of all things, altering his appearance.

Then he rose to his full height, took a step, and arrived at a staircase on the side of the mountainside.

"Noise is not permitted on Mount Xihuang."

He pretended not to know the other, spoke coldly, and waved his hand.

Whoosh~

A gust of wind surged up; Han Que, who had just run halfway, was shoved flying by him, momentarily losing his footing and with a plop rolled back down to the Mountain Base.

"An immortal?"

Han Que was startled; seeing the white-clad man on the mountainside, he hastily scrambled up and bowed, saying: "Junior meant no offense; I was simply overjoyed and could not help myself—please forgive me!"

Xiao Feng gave a cold snort: "With such a mindset, temper it a few more years."

"Ah? Still need tempering?" Han Que, upon hearing, almost burst into tears.

Without waiting for him to think further, in his field of view something suddenly lunged out

a monster.

Han Que hastily raised his mountain-splitting blade and continued his battle of wits against the air.

"Huh?"

Xiao Feng also froze.

He merely gave a casual swipe, interrupting Han Que's ascent.

I never expected that, unable to keep his footing, the other would tumble back to the Mountain Base and re-enter the illusion zone.

"Er..."

He felt a bit embarrassed for a moment and glanced toward the house behind him.

The door had already opened; a green-robed Feng Feng Shi walked over slowly.

The two stood side by side looking down at Han Que below; she said lightly: "I asked you to give him a lesson, not to torment him. Now the illusion formation has restarted—without three or five years he won't get out."

"I..."

Xiao Feng was utterly embarrassed; he never imagined he had screwed Han Que over so badly.

"Alas, sorry, Brother Han." He thought to himself. At the same time, he secretly resolved to fully compensate his debt to Han Que by making it up to Han Que's clan, Han Zichen.

"When will Old Ancestor Fuxi return?" Xiao Feng asked Feng Feng Shi.

Feng Feng Shi replied: "He will return when Han Que goes up the mountain."

"?" Xiao Feng stared at her blankly, feeling that not only Han Que was being played, but he himself had been tricked as well!

"You don't have to go to such lengths to drive me away..."

Xiao Feng said in a low voice.

Feng Feng Shi's mouth twitched slightly: "I never expected you would kick him back to the Mountain Base."

"I..."

Xiao Feng was completely at a loss for words.

At that moment, the large willow tree beside them spoke: "You guys, bullying a youngster is a bit excessive."

Feng Feng Shi heard the words and said, "Willow Tree King, make your move."

It meant that the Great Willow Tree King should bring Han Que up.

Xiao Feng then muttered a complaint, "Compared to them, I'm actually the youngest young fellow..."

The Great Willow Tree King's willow branches swayed, as if responding, and it said, "This child has been tempered for five years, which is enough

Enough. I will lead him up the mountain to see how the Xi Ancestor treats him."

Then a willow branch glowed with a green light, gently swaying toward the foot of the mountain.

A surge of energy burst forth; Han Que at the foot of the mountain felt that the monster before his eyes was instantly pierced and killed by a flurry of willow leaves, which were like flying knives, each incredibly sharp.

"Is there an expert helping?" he thought, delighted, and hurriedly passed through the mist, exiting the illusion formation again.

This time he was more sincere, no longer shouting to the heavens, but instead respectfully bowed toward the mountain and said, "Junior Han Que, I seek an audience with the Dao Ancestor and immortals on Mount Xi Emperor."

Then he stepped slowly up the mountain, one step at a time.

Xiao Feng could clearly feel that Han Que's strength was much greater than when he first discovered him two years ago.

Obviously, the illusion formation at the foot of Mount Xi Emperor has a tempering effect, able to strengthen the cultivation and mental fortitude of those who undergo tempering.

Han Que walked back to his previous position, saw Xiao Feng and Feng Feng Shi on the mountainside, and greeted them with a bow: "I pay my respects to the two immortals."

"Still lecturing?" Xiao Feng asked Feng Feng Shi via divine sense.

Feng Feng Shi replied indifferently, "Up to you."

"Then let's forget it."

Xiao Feng decisively gave up, fearing that he might accidentally send Han Que back down the mountain again.

However, he did not immediately revert to his original appearance, but simply said in a calm tone, "Not bad, come up; the Xi Ancestor is waiting for you."

In fact, his inner excitement was no less than Han Que's.

After all, he had never seen the Fuxi Ancestor before; this was the first time he had the chance to witness him in person!

"Thank you, immortal!"

Han Que still didn't know that Xiao Feng was teasing him, thinking the immortal was solemn; after giving thanks, he walked up the mountain step by step with excitement in his heart.

When he arrived above the mountainside,

When he was on the platform of the Xi Emperor Palace, Xiao Feng felt as if some invisible power had been triggered.

Immediately afterward, the ground seemed to flow like water, and a translucent Bagua formation actually appeared.

The Bagua formation rotated half a turn, as if changing its trigram positions.

The next second, a wisp of green light condensed beside it, forming a human shape.

Upon seeing this figure, the Great Willow Tree King, the Carp Fish Sect, and the mustard greens all respectfully shouted, "Xi Ancestor!"

Feng Feng Shi also bowed and greeted, "Father."

Xiao Feng did not dare to be negligent, and hastily bowed to greet the Fuxi Ancestor.

As for Han Que…

He immediately knelt on the spot!
