Through his conversation with Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial, Chen Feng found out about the situation there. Somewhere between hundreds of thousands of years ago or millions of years ago, many cultivators had chosen to enter this world. There were also various extrterrestrial creatures amongst them.

Back then, Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial had entered this cave with a group of cultivators. They had been looking for treasures only for a stream of ice energy to surge out from the depths of the cave and freeze them all. It had been hundreds of thousands of years since then. 

Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial's ability to reach the half-step Heavenly Immortal stage was already something shocking for Chen Feng. But at that moment, he found out that Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial had already reached this level 300,000 years ago. It gave him an even greater level of shock.

“Looks like senior managed to come across a great serendipity after leaving Eternal World. Only, where did Senior Extreme Clarity and Senior Jade Sun go to?” Chen Feng asked, smiling.

“Ha ha ha! Don't call me senior. As it is, your combat power is likely greater than mine. We should address one another as equals.” Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial waved it off.

“Extreme Clarity and Jade Sun have probably gone to another world. Back then, we had inadvertently found a spatial pa.s.sageway connected to outer s.p.a.ce. However, we were split up after going through the pa.s.sageway. Although this world is very dangerous, there are many good fortunes here as well. I managed to find some Heavenly laws here, which allowed my cultivation base to rise up quickly.”

“In other words, you also do not know what is inside this cave?” Chen Feng said, his gaze moving farther and farther ahead. As Chen Feng's gaze moved forward, the number of runes and restrictive arrays obstructing it grew higher and higher until they finally obscured Chen Feng's gaze completely.

“It is said to house Divine artifacts. Only, it has been a long time since then. I do not know if anyone ever made it inside.”

“There is a need to enter and check it out. Before that, however, you must recover your strength.” Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial had been sealed by ice for hundreds of thousands of years. Not only could his cultivation base not advance as a result of that, it was even exhausted somewhat.

That said, while Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial was sealed up, he did not lose any of his possessions. Besides, he had already formed his bodily world. By bringing out some spirit stones, he was able to quickly recover.

As Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial was recovering, Chen Feng pondered their situation. He did not think too much about this wondrous world. This universe was vast and there were countless of such wondrous places. Chen Feng instead pondered on what could possibly be inside the cave. According to Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial, just the stream of ice energy coming from within the cave was enough to freeze a half-step Heavenly Immortal. If the two of them were to encounter an attack of that level, would they be able to endure?

“I have been frozen for so long now. Also, there is no telling if there are any more dangers inside. Although the allure of Divine artifacts is quite something, one careless mistake would lead to death. I have no desire to be sealed for another hundreds of thousands of years.” After breaking free, Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial did not reveal eagerness towards the cave. Instead, he felt fearful of it.

“Has no one ever entered?” A skyful of runes flew out from Chen Feng's body to quickly disappear into their surroundings. At the same time, he was also utilizing his eye technique to observe everything inside the cave.

“In the past, before I entered, someone had managed to obtain a Divine artifact from this cave. That was the biggest reason why our group came here.”

“Someone's coming!” Chen Feng's face sank and he waved, sending a wave of dimensional power out to encase Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial. When Chen Feng then utilized a stealth technique, Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial acted in concert with Chen Feng by retracting all signs of life within his body.

An overwhelming atmosphere of power swept towards them. Next, a stream of light flashed out from afar and a mighty power swept through them like a tidal wave. It spent a good amount of effort probing the layer of ice.

“It's a Heavenly Immortal!” Chen Feng and Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial exchanged glances. There was a shocked look on Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial's face. He could not handle a cultivator at this level. Chen Feng, on the other hand, was not feeling too concerned about it. Instead, he secretly observed where the other party went.

However, this Heavenly Immortal was very fast. Despite the restrictive arrays in the cave, he was able to swiftly move away from Chen Feng's vision range.

“The other party did not notice us, right?”

“He's just a starter-level Heavenly Immortal.” Chen Feng shook his head. Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial, on the other hand, sharply sucked in a breath of air.

“It's good that we can avoid getting into a conflict with the other party. A Heavenly Immortal is indeed not to be trifled with. Careful, someone else is coming.”

Sou! Sou!

Two more streams of light shot past them. Seeing that left Chen Feng somewhat dumbfounded.

“What's going on here? Two more Heavenly Immortals? Or are there actually Divine artifacts in this place?”

“Come, let's go in and check it out.” Chen Feng was unable to sit still.

“Forget it. It's too dangerous.”

“Senior, back then, you had exuded great valour as you came here. Why would you shrink back now?”

“In the face of an unstoppable danger, backing away is the best decision.”

“In that case, senior can wait outside this cave first. I want to go check it out.” Chen Feng did not say anything more about Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial's decision to back out. If he had been the one frozen in ice for hundreds of thousands of years, he would also end up suffering from a trauma.

Watching Chen Feng's figure disappear into the cave, an entangled look appeared on Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial's face. It would appear that his courage and bravery was truly shrinking. Only, when he looked at the layer of ice around him, his face turned gloomy. With a sigh, he then walked out from the cave.

…

The illusion arrays here are even stronger than those outside. Chen Feng utilized the Longevity Steps to continuously s.h.i.+ft about, advancing in an erratic manner. Meanwhile, his eyes had become two pitch-black vortexes and runes would occasionally appear at certain spots of s.p.a.ce around him, only to be devoured by him. 

But due to that, the speed at which he was advancing was affected. Even though he had left the area with the ice, Chen Feng was still incapable of finding the three Heavenly Immortals who entered earlier.

“Friend, looks like you are following us.”

Sensing something amiss, Chen Feng abruptly fired out an attack. A fist silhouette engulfed the s.p.a.ce there as it surged forward. However, Chen Feng's face also sank and he rapidly took several steps back.

Chen Feng's attack was broken apart and two cultivators encased by multi-coloured streams of light appeared. The two cast an ambiguous smile at Chen Feng.

“A True Immortal?!”

“I doubt it. A True Immortal is not this strong.”

“Humph! The attack he unleashed earlier clearly contains True laws.”

“But there are also Heavenly laws.”

“If so, he must be a half-step Heavenly Immortal.”

Chen Feng maintained an impa.s.sive expression on his face as he watched the two cultivators argue. He was not letting his guard down at all. The casual attack from the two cultivators earlier had contained within it the power of sound and soul. It was a formidable killing move.

“Greetings, my name is Chen Feng. Why did you two attack me?” Chen Feng said.

“Kid, are you still going to put on an act here? You were clearly following us secretly. In order to avoid any unwanted situations, we should kill you now.”

“Agreed.”

The two cultivators attacked right after that. One of them, a tall cultivator, moved forward to send a punch towards Chen Feng. As for the other cultivator, he circled around to arrive behind Chen Feng.

The two of them showed a flawless display of cooperation. Clearly, this was not something new to them.

This was Chen Feng's first time facing two Heavenly Immortals and he felt some pressure from this. A simple attack from the other party was able to seal up their surrounding s.p.a.ce and any and all openings. And while Chen Feng was able to take on the cultivator attacking from the front, doing so would allow the one launching a sneak attack on him from behind to succeed.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in a highly mysterious and dangerous place, Chen Feng wouldn't have minded fighting them. At that very moment, however, Chen Feng did not want to become wounded, lest others took advantage of them.

Deploying the Longevity Steps, Chen Feng was able to disregard the sealing power created by the two cultivators' auras. Next, his figure flashed several times to evade their attacks. At the same time, a spark erupted, giving the two cultivators a feeling of danger. Due to that, the two of them pulled back at the same time and cast a wary look at Chen Feng.

“Fellows, please wait. If we fight to the death here, it will only benefit others,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“You mean to say there is someone else here?” The eyes of the tall cultivator swiftly lit up.

“Before you two arrived, someone else had already entered this cave. I believe there will also be others coming in after us. At any rate, the Divine artifacts inside are items that could even send Heavenly Immortals into a state of frenzy,” Chen Feng said casually. However, to the two cultivators, he sounded like an unfathomable expert.

“Ha ha ha! Fellow friend, thank you for telling us that. We brothers were indeed too reckless just now,” the two cultivators said, cupping their fists towards Chen Feng before turning around to leave. They did not inform Chen Feng their names.

Chuckling, Chen Feng shook his head. He did not continue moving forward. Instead, he stood still, waiting.

As expected, it did not take long before a stream of light flew towards him from the entrance of the cave. With a flash, a cultivator appeared before Chen Feng.

The cultivator was clad in animal hide, with a sword slung across his back and a copper staff in one hand. He sported thick brows and large eyes while a valiant aura emanated out from him.

Chen Feng easily determined that this cultivator was from Savage World.

“Friend, how long have you spent inside this place? Did you find any treasures?” the cultivator in animal hide spoke, his voice like rumbling thunder.

“The treasures are likely up ahead. Only, several experts have charged forward. Friend, if you want to go forward, you will need to exercise caution,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“If so, why did you stop here?”

“I am looking for allies. Earlier, two cultivators joined forces against me and I suffered from a serious loss.”

“How about me? I have killed over 10 Heavenly Immortals before. We can partner up and split the spoils equally.” The cultivator in animal hide opened his mouth to reveal clear-white teeth.

“My name is Chen Feng, from the Celestial Longevity Plane.”

“Man Niu, born in Savage World. I came here from the Immortal Plane.”

And just like that, Chen Feng swiftly found an ally.

This cultivator known as Man Niu was not to be underestimated. While he did not appear like a scheming type, he was a genuine Heavenly Immortal. Additionally, his fleshly body was very strong. Given the conditions of their present surroundings, his fleshly body would give him the greatest advantage here.

The two of them advanced, chatting and laughing along the way. Whenever they encountered any restrictive arrays, Chen Feng would make use of his eye technique to find the weak points of the restrictive arrays and utilize his movement technique to bypa.s.s them. Man Niu, on the other hand, simply charged through them. The runes and restrictive arrays laid out by a Heavenly Immortal burst apart in his wake, incapable of stopping him at all.

Now this is what you call smas.h.i.+ng through with brute force. I wonder, though. Between the two of us, which of our fleshly bodies is stronger? Chen Feng thought.

“Careful, looks like there is a disturbance up ahead.” Chen Feng abruptly slowed down and it did not take long before a wailing sound made its way towards them. It sounded like the wind.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Several streams of light suddenly appeared within Chen Feng's vision range and he quickly took action. As a result, two stone lances appeared in his grasp.

Bang! Bang!

Man Niu took a more violent approach, the copper staff in his hand smas.h.i.+ng forward and the durable stone lances were shattered apart.

In this world, the power of magic treasures could not be utilized. Due to that, Man Niu could only use the copper staff to smash the stone lances head on. He could not unleash the power of grand dao laws of the copper staff in the slightest.
