Everlasting Chapter 986 Spiritual Root Recovers

Chen Feng had already wasted a million years and even his spiritual root was damaged. In order to catch up to them, he would have to work far harder.

“Don't worry about it, kid! As long as you can recover your spiritual root, your rate of cultivation will become 100 times faster. What's most important here is your foundation. By cultivating out the Chaos Const.i.tution, no one would be able to compare with you!” Tower laughed loudly. Perhaps it was because he was too happy, but the Longevity Tower managed to not only steal a large quant.i.ty of the Immortal Plane's essence power, it also stole over 1,000 immortal dao laws.

“Tower, what's the reaction from the Immortal Plane?” Although Chen Feng felt happy, he also knew that this was a critical moment. His spiritual root was only just beginning to recover. It required a lot of the Immortal Plane's essence power. If the Immortal Plane were to suddenly bring trouble down on him now, he would lose this chance.

While Chen Feng had indeed devoured a great deal of cosmic essence fragments in the past, those were all from life-bearing planets and worlds that were far inferior to the Immortal Plane. The difference in quality between the two was as big as the difference between Heaven and Earth.

What was happening right now could be considered as a once-in-lifetime opportunity. The recovery of his spiritual root gave Chen Feng hope. Thus, even if a True Immortal were to descend right now, he would not let up.

“Everything is calm there. Truth be told, the Immortal Plane is a very big place. With proper handling, the Immortal Plane would not be able to notice it,” Tower said nonchalantly.

By then, there were already close to 10,000 immortal dao laws floating within the Longevity Tower. Only, as Chen Feng was in the process of cultivating himself, they were not distributed away. Moreover, those were items that cultivators could only wish for. Chen Feng could not hand them out randomly. He had to select suitable cultivators for those immortal dao laws. Every single immortal dao law would allow a cultivator's cultivation base to rise by one level. By distributing so many immortal dao laws out, their power would surge upwards.

“Not enough! Still not enough! This is far from enough!” Chen Feng's words held two meanings. Firstly, the Immortal Plane's essence power was not enough. Secondly, the number of immortal dao laws was not enough.

For Chen Feng, the more of them he could obtain, the better. Hearing his words, though, made Tower displeased. “I am already doing my best here. Any faster and the Heavenly dao will notice.”

Truth be told, Chen Feng was also feeling frustrated. Although the cyan-coloured energy streams were not particularly pure, they were truly the essence of the Immortal Plane. This was something that would greatly benefit even cultivators at Bi Qing's level, but Chen Feng had seemingly become like a bottomless pit. He was simply incapable of filling it up. It felt as though he could devour the Heavens. His spiritual root's rate of recovery was very slow. Additionally, the hunger within him was growing ever stronger. 

One day after another went by and the surrounding ocean region, spanning a distance of five million kilometres, became filled with immortal energy. More, the concentration of immortal energy kept growing. There was even a high number of Heavenly Flower Talismans mixed within the immortal energy. Due to that, some of the cultivators who joined the East Dragon Island Alliance secretly felt fortunate. 

Naturally, there were more cultivators – from other parts of the world of cultivation – who felt envious. The East Dragon Island Alliance had been s.h.i.+ning too greatly in the past few years. The immortal energy that East Dragon Island obtained last time had yet to run out. And yet, it had decided to do this again, and on a larger scale to boot. They'd be lying to say that they did not feel envious at seeing the hundreds of millions of cultivators in East Dragon Island growing stronger with every pa.s.sing day.

“If that is the case, we'll take it slow. At any rate, we have already made preparations to kill off a True Immortal this time. Failure to bring over a True Immortal is actually not a good thing.” Chen Feng chuckled.

“By the way, do you think our actions here will alarm the Celestial Longevity Plane? Also, Eternal World's period of great fortune is coming. Will the cultivators from the other Celestial Planes come?

“Eh, Tower? Why aren't you saying anything? What's happening?”

While cultivating himself, Chen Feng was able to spare some time chatting with Tower. At any rate, Chen Feng was just devouring the Immortal Plane's essence to recover his spiritual root and re-cultivate out the Chaos Const.i.tution. Thus, he was focused on devouring the essence power. He would focus on cultivating himself in the future.

After speaking for a bit, Chen Feng noticed that Tower was not responding. Feeling curious, he sent his divine sense into the Longevity Tower and instantly noticed something special there.

In the past, all the immortal dao laws that Tower had extracted had the appearance of golden-coloured silky threads. At that very moment, however, there were some silky threads that shone with greater golden radiance than the norm, several times greater, in fact. Just by looking at the size of the threads, Chen Feng could already tell that the immortal dao laws were different. Examining them briefly, Chen Feng was able to sense an exalted aura and the profundity of the power of laws from them.

“Ha ha ha! The previous immortal dao laws are only useful for Human Immortals and Earthen Immortals, but even Ascendant Immortals would fight one another for these laws!” There was a smug smile on Tower's face.

“Incredible! Tower, to think that you can even get immortal dao laws of this level!” Chen Feng was so shocked that he nearly jumped to his feet.

“Ha ha ha! I just got lucky! Ha ha ha!” Despite saying that, it was clear that Tower was feeling very proud of himself.

“If so, how do they compare with the True laws?” Struggling to contain himself, Chen Feng then asked.

“They are two different items. True laws are something that a True Immortal cultivated out. They are like the yao cores formed by yao beasts or the demon cores formed by demonic beasts. Immortal dao laws, on the other hand, is a manifestation of cosmic essence power. Essence wise, they are both the power of laws. Only, their forms are different. These immortal dao laws are indeed quite good. They could increase the strength of Ascendant Immortals, but they are only capable of helping out in the early phases of the Ascendant Immortal stage. If you truly want to compare, they are still inferior to True laws. At any rate, True laws are the core items that True Immortals have to painstakingly cultivate out.” As Tower was explaining all that, tens of immortal dao laws – s.h.i.+ning with golden light – entered the Longevity Tower again.

“Wasting so much of my energy. Kid, you got lucky. Even in the Immortal Plane, these immortal dao laws are objects of compet.i.tion.”

“I only fear that Heavenly Firmaments Palace would not let us continue this for long.” Chen Feng shook his head. Next up, he stopped talking. Instead, he focused on absorbing the cyan-coloured energy streams. Compared to the immortal dao laws, the Immortal Plane's essence power was undoubtedly more important.

The spiritual root was a very mysterious existence. It could not be seen, but it could be sensed, clearly. As large amounts of cyan energy flowed into Chen Feng's body, he clearly sensed his spiritual root sprouting and growing. Only, it was doing so very slowly. This slow rate of growth made Chen Feng highly displeased. At the same time, Chen Feng was also aware that he could not rush this. The moment he sensed his spiritual root recovering, Chen Feng had decided. Even if he were to fail this time, he would think of some other method to devour the Immortal Plane's essence. Either that, or the essence of the other Celestial Planes.

Boom!

A clump of lightning exploded and Devastation Lightning emerged from nothingness. This was a power generated from the Heavenly dao. However, before the Devastation Lightning could display its might, it was gulped down by the Longevity Tower. The Devastation Lightning was a great supplementary item for the Longevity Tower.

“The Heavenly dao has found out. Still, our harvest this time is high enough.” Chen Feng nodded. Unbeknownst to Chen Feng, as the Longevity Tower was stealing the Immortal Plane's essence power, Xian Yun's eyes had narrowed for a brief moment.

Capturing the Immortal Plane's essence power and immortal dao laws. It could even so casually devour Devastation Lightning. While many magic treasures are capable of such a feat, for this Longevity Tower to accomplish all that so easily at its present level… something is up.

According to the information I received, a True Immortal who came here from the Immortal Plane was killed. This proves that there is something going on here. Bi Qing did not tell me about that. Looks like he does not fully trust me. Even though Xian Yun was outwardly chatting with Bi Qing, he was secretly considering other matters.

“Insolence! You dare commit sacrilege against the Immortal Plane?!”

Finally, golden-armoured cultivators appeared. Chen Feng did nothing. This time, it was the group of Ascendant Immortals placed in charge of the defence of the Great Heavenstealing Arrays who fought against the golden-armoured cultivators.

As Chen Feng had arranged to station them there, they had to contribute. Moreover, Chen Feng truly had no time to take action. He was already in a critical juncture.

“Looks like we don't have much time left.” Chen Feng shook his head regretfully. The hunger within him showed no signs of abating. That said, some essence power had been stockpiled inside the Longevity Tower. Thus, he would be able to handle it for a while. Only, he was still far away from reaching the minor success phase for his cultivation of the Chaos Const.i.tution.

Chen Feng waved his hand and hundreds of golden light spread out. Hundreds of cultivators then benefitted from it. These cultivators' strength was needed for what was coming next. Thus, all Chen Feng could do was to improve the strength of those cultivators under his command as best he could. Naturally, Chen Feng had still chosen to grant the immortal dao laws to those directly under him first. 

Chen Feng worked quickly. In just a few breaths' worth of time, 10,000 immortal dao laws had entered the cultivators there. After doing that, Chen Feng stopped. A cultivator had managed to make his way towards Chen Feng. This cultivator was completely clad in black armour, with a pair of bat-like wings on his back. He moved silently, seemingly existing in a separate s.p.a.ce. Only, Chen Feng had noticed him the instant he attacked.

Chen Feng did not panic. Instead, he waved his hand to send the Divine Malla Vine out, entangling the cultivator with it. Following that, several wind blades shot out from the great arrays to instantly slice the cultivator into pieces.

“As expected, the more people we have, the more power we can exert,” Chen Feng said.

Turning his attention to observe the battles between the Ascendant Immortals guarding the great arrays and the cultivators from the Immortal Plane, Chen Feng shook his head in frustration. The Ascendant Immortals were still too weak.

No longer in the mood to cultivate, Chen Feng then began utilizing the great arrays. The nine great arrays became as one and the power it displayed was strong enough to even stop a True Immortal. Under Chen Feng's direction, several golden-armoured cultivators were killed in the blink of an eye.

And so came a brief moment of tranquillity. Knowing that a more ferocious attack would come next, Chen Feng did not waste any time. He sent the various magic treasures that were inside his body into the Longevity Tower. He had a very clear objective, to fuse the immortal dao laws into his magic treasures to level them up.

In the past, Chen Feng had collected a high number of magic treasures and placed them inside his body to increase his own strength. At that very moment, what Chen Feng wanted was not quant.i.ty but quality. Having several magic treasures fuse together would result in one magic treasure, one that was far stronger than the rest.

The first to become an Immortal artifact was the Domain Geocompa.s.s. After breaking through the threshold, the Domain Geocompa.s.s underwent its tribulation right above Chen Feng.
