Chapter 2237: Chapter 2239: Competing for Favor

The Crimson Phoenix Sect and Qinggang Sect both reacted, and within the Taiqing Sect, True Immortal Chaocheng was a bit at a loss; he didn’t know much about Feng Jun, only having heard from Wu Xiu not to provoke this person.

He’s not bored enough to provoke Feng Jun, but now he can only use Divine Sense to contact Jing Quan, "Uncle Master, what should I do?"

Jing Quan sighed quietly and replied with Divine Sense, "Just follow the example, can’t you do that? You’re just following the trend!"

Of course, I can follow the trend, True Immortal Chaocheng was somewhat helpless, "I want to know what exactly he did, so I can decide the intensity."

"I’m not quite sure either," Jing Quan replied helplessly, "but everyone is doing it, what are you afraid of?"

The two were communicating when suddenly, Master Sumiao released Divine Sense, "All Taiqing disciples, go and help Mountain Master Feng protect...and remember not to exceed the five-mile boundary."

"We Heavenly Heart disciples will courageously take the lead," Ji Buseng’s voice sounded extremely passionate and enthusiastic, "Listen to my command, go and help Mountain Master Feng protect!"

Then a Master laughed aloud, "Since the friends of Tianxin Platform are going, how could we Wuyou Platform be absent?"

"Wanfu Platform disciples never fall behind, Mountain Master Feng is doing big things, we should lend a hand!"

The Four Sects and Wutai all responded, those clan disciples were a bit dumbfounded, everyone knew that something good might appear, but the opportunity in White Pebble Beach...was it suitable for clan disciples to dive in?

But soon, Gongyang Youqing discovered the opportunity, "Go to the land bought by Mountain Master Feng’s subordinates...it’s not far either!"

The land bought by Sister Hong and them is really openly accessible to outsiders, currently only developed ordinarily, with roads, houses, and infrastructure such as water, electricity, and telephones already complete, but the popularity isn’t too high.

The Gongyang Family reacted quickly, and the Dantai family’s reaction wasn’t slow either, at the critical moment, Dantai Yuhu was quite decisive, "All disciples, bring some goods, head there to sell..."

Feng Jun had gone to the Earth Realm, wanting to summon all his people, unsure if simply burying a lung would attract Domain Care, but since there’s a possibility, he wouldn’t miss the chance to share with everyone.

He summoned quite a few people in Luohua, even those like Li Shishi, Zhong Lijing, Hua Hua, and Xu Leigang who had never been to Kunhao, were brought over—time was tight, and there was no more time to think it over.

Because he summoned quite a number, it took him about half an hour.

When he arrived at White Pebble Beach, he was suddenly stunned: why were there so many people watching?

Fortunately, outsiders didn’t dare offend him, so he led his group inside, "Immortal Yi Jue, this is?"

When Zhang Caixin, Good Scenery, Yu Qingzhu, and others appeared, the surrounding spectators breathed a sigh of relief—Mountain Master Feng indeed brought his entire team over, apparently, the chance of Domain Care was very high.

"I’ve already leveled the land," Yi Jue said with a smile, "As for their arrival, it might be because they heard that Domain Care could appear here, so they hurried to protect you."

"Protector..." Feng Jun shook his head with a wry smile, just guessing with his backside, he could tell why they came.

Calming himself, he spoke solemnly, "This is the method I found to increase Spirit Mechanism for Kunhao, Domain Care... I can’t guarantee; however, even if there is, there’s no need to crowd so close, right? You should benefit within a radius of ten thousand miles."

"Being closer means benefiting more," Kong Ziyi said with a smile, she was still at the seventh layer of the initial stage, faintly touching the threshold of the eighth layer, she wasn’t afraid of straightforward words with her association with Feng Jun starting from insignificant times, "We’ve kept a five-mile distance."

"Suit yourselves," Feng Jun waved indifferently, cultivators seeking opportunities is a normal reaction, the other party knows its boundaries, so he wouldn’t argue further, "As long as you don’t blame me if there’s no chance."

Saying so, he picked up the walkie-talkie, instructing Qu Jianlei to bring over the people staying in the manor, like Gao Qiang, Yun Buyao, Mi Yunsan, and even Chen Junsheng and the Cauldron Seedlings received earlier all came along.

Then under everyone’s gaze, he formed a series of hand gestures and released them.

Someone took a capture stone, intending to record his hand gestures, but was warned by True Immortal Jing Quan, Jiu Wei, Hua Sheng, and Chaocheng—all said, we’re here to protect, are you trying to play tricks?

The hand gesture process only took about five minutes, Feng Jun released them, and one or two minutes later, a faint yet vast aura descended from the sky, falling upon those present, feeling exceedingly refreshed.

The sense of aura at the scene, none could surpass Yi Jue; she squinted to feel briefly, then sighed lightly, "There’s great joy in heaven and earth, Mountain Master Feng really received the Domain’s favor."

"Indeed!" Jing Quan was the second to feel this aura, nodding, "Spirit Mechanism increased...there’s indeed a possibility."

The third was True Immortal Hua Sheng, he squinted, displaying a look of deep indulgence, "Domain feedback indeed."

The reactions of the three of them were relatively quick, but the others were somewhat bewildered – is this what opportunity looks like?

Everyone could feel a slight oddity in their bodies, knowing it was different from usual. But if this counts as a domain-level opportunity, isn’t it... isn’t it underestimating the meaning of the word "domain"?

As for the great joy between heaven and earth... does this really count as great joy? Or is it that we have misunderstood the concept of "great joy"?

Of course, these are just silent thoughts among them; no one dared to express them directly – it’s normal for those with lower cultivation levels not to feel the benefits, but casually questioning them would really show ignorance.

Not easily voicing these thoughts is the right choice. As time passed, the descending aura from the sky increased little by little, with its concentration and coverage slowly expanding.

After about ten minutes, someone suddenly mumbled under their breath, "The ground, the ground is shaking!"

The ground was indeed slightly trembling, and a large pit that had previously buried the lungs actually began to rise gradually. Initially, the rising speed was not very fast, about a millimeter per minute, but later the speed increased.

After an hour, the ground had risen more than a meter. Two hours later, it had risen over ten meters. In the end, it was rising almost a meter per minute. By this time, the ancient aura surrounding it was already thick as substance, incredibly sticky.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth poured in as if it cost nothing, and then people began to break through.

The first to break through was Kong Ziyi. She was surrounded by Taiqing Sect members and only occupied about one square meter, yet sitting cross-legged on the ground, she broke through directly.

The second breakthrough occurred with a person at the seventh layer of the Tianxin Platform, followed by the third, fourth...

The fifth to break through was Zhang Caixin, successfully entering the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement.

The ninth to break through was Ji Buseng, who directly advanced from the Initial Golden Core Stage to the Mid-Stage Golden Core.

This commotion lasted a whole day and night. The pit dug by Feng Jun for burial had turned into a small mountain more than two thousand meters high and three thousand meters in radius, smooth as can be, resembling a... grave mound!

A radius of three thousand meters made many people have to retreat slightly, as a range of five miles is only two thousand five hundred meters. The particularly troubling part was that the mountain continued rising, though at a much slower pace, almost invisible to the naked eye.

And now, in this area, over a hundred people had advanced, making almost everyone realize – this was indeed a tremendous opportunity.

Those who advanced were advancing; for those who didn’t, many impurities in their bodies were cleansed, making future advancement much easier. Importantly, this was Kunhao Realm’s domain care. The reduced difficulty in advancing might not be just once and could benefit them for life.

Feng Jun, however, knew that the opportunity had reached its peak, and thus spoke in a deep voice, "Only those who still feel the advancement sensation can stay; the others should disperse."

Master Sumiao was a bit surprised. Ji Buseng advanced, yet she was just a bit short, "Disperse already?"

"This is a long-term mechanism; there’s no rush for now," Feng Jun, aware of the shenanigans between these two, replied, "Master Sumiao’s future advancement will also be much easier; I believe this should be satisfying enough."

Having cultivated for four hundred years, Master Sumiao was not naive, so she nodded and led the disciples away.

As the Taiqing disciples left, the spectators gradually dispersed, leaving only those close to Feng Jun.

Yan Yuxi looked at the abruptly risen small mountain in front of her and couldn’t help but ask, "I helped you dig such a large pit, and it turned into a mountain. What did you bury here?"

Feng Jun smiled, "Some things are better to remain unknown than known. Why insist so much?"

"I’m worried it might get stolen," Yan Yuxi couldn’t help but retort, "I noticed you set up a formation, but does it work without Spirit Stones supplying it?"

"Don’t worry about that," replied none other than the prestigious True Immortal Jing Quan from Taixu, known for expertise in earth veins, spiritual energy, and heavenly mechanisms theories, "It’s already protected by domain consciousness; who could steal it?"

True Immortal Jiu Wei also nodded, being skilled in deduction, "A day ago, yes, someone might have stolen it, but now the aura has formed. Domain consciousness... do you think it’s so easy to fool?"

"Since it’s secure, I can rest assured then," Yan Yuxi nodded and looked again towards Feng Jun, "Mountain Master Feng, my Yan clan’s secret realm also needs such protective measures. I wonder if the thing you buried still exists?"

"You’re overthinking it," Feng Jun replied confidently, "That thing cannot be used to protect secret realms."

"As long as it can enhance domains," Yan Yuxi spoke solemnly, "My Yan clan has other domains... wait, where did Mountain Master Feng go?"

While she was speaking, Feng Jun had already disappeared without a trace.
