Mortal lifespan limits: 100 years for Qi Refining, 120 years for Foundation Establishment, 250 years for Golden Core...
But these are the limits, the theoretically achievable lifespans. In reality, very few people live to reach their natural lifespan.
Even ordinary people who take the longevity-enhancing elixir can approach 120 years of age.
However, the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to increase one's lifespan. Reaching the Golden Core level and living to the full lifespan of five hundred years is extremely rare, let alone exceeding that lifespan.
But this sprout can!
One leaf can add a hundred years to your life!
Of course, this is just a matter of supernatural perception; Ye Feng couldn't possibly break off the spirit sprout to examine it right now.
Time is precious and opportunities are rare, so of course we should continue to upgrade!
As the grand formation below activated, streams of Daoist energy converged once more.
Ye Feng, being in the Nine Venerable Hall, directly enjoyed the cleansing effect of the Daoist energy, and his newly advanced cultivation level was rapidly consolidated.
A minor improvement in cultivation level doesn't significantly boost combat power.
However, a leap to a higher level involves a qualitative difference!
Previously, Ye Feng could only rely on Yin Release or the Dark Flame of his left eye to fight against the Returning Void.
Now, with a casual wave of Ye Feng's hand, a faint, ethereal power follows him like a shadow.
If this were used to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be a double blow.
Moreover, as long as Ye Feng is willing, he can make his whole body ethereal and enter the ethereal space with a thought!
Even if an ordinary person advances to the Void Returning stage, they still need to undergo continuous cultivation and absorb Void Transformation energy to achieve complete Voidification.
But Ye Feng can do it directly!
However, during this tribulation, my cultivation level only reached the second level of the Returning to Emptiness realm...
"The foundation is still not solid enough! We've even regressed a bit!"
Time passed quickly, like the burning of an incense stick. He reached the second level of the Returning to Emptiness Realm, and his cultivation was consolidated!
"Transaction points -200 million, three layers of return on investment"
"Trading points -100 million, Body Refinement Divine Travel Realm Level 2"
......
Ye Feng sat cross-legged in the void, quietly cultivating.
Inside the Nine Venerable Hall, this change in aura went unnoticed by those outside.
But those who had connections with the Nine Venerable Hall couldn't help but open their eyes again.
The group exchanged glances without speaking, then focused their attention on the deduction.
An hour later,
The change in the aura above made the group unable to contain themselves any longer.
This time, even the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable opened his eyes and took a look.
It is true that by utilizing the Nine Venerable Hall and combining the Daoist essence of the various venerable ones, one can consolidate one's cultivation and regulate one's physical body.
But that breakthrough is not as simple as just consolidating it.
If that were the case, wouldn't these eight great immortals have already transcended the ninth level of tribulation?
This time, all eight of them were curious.
How did this kid do that?
With a solid foundation and deep roots, it's not surprising that they could improve their cultivation level by several levels after undergoing tribulation.
But to continue leveling up after overcoming the tribulation is truly unprecedented!
But now was not the time for investigation; they could only set aside their thoughts and continue their deductions.
...Another hour and a half later!
Another wave of advancement has arrived.
The eight immortal venerables, who considered themselves to be knowledgeable and seasoned veterans, were now genuinely starting to feel uneasy.
Everyone wanted to put down their calculations and go up to see if Ye Feng could reach the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm in a few days.
But reason told them that it was absolutely impossible!
Two more hours later...
Several powerful immortals' eyelids twitched, and they kept telling themselves in their hearts,
Almost there, almost finished with the simulation!
Sure enough, after half an hour, the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable finally stopped what he was doing, opened his eyes, and nodded to everyone.
The group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The occasional upgrade fluctuations coming from above made them want to devour people.
But we can't act recklessly now. The beasts can transform into humans, so they might be able to find out about this place from elsewhere.
If one only knows about the deduction process, the presence of a certain period of time marked on the Thousand Derivation Array Diagram will not affect the result.
But if Ye Feng's secret weapon is exposed, then things will really be difficult.
Following the established procedure, Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang delivered a speech, followed by the combined magic of several Great Immortal Venerables...
The Thousand-Difference Array Diagram, with a diameter of over nine thousand meters, along with the cultivators standing on it, all began to shrink.
Ultimately, it becomes a real scroll.
The Hall of Nine Venerables reappears, and all the deities return to their positions.
Then, with a flash of light, it disappeared from the spot!
These are several powerful immortals leading a formation diagram, heading off to subdue the demon...
One excitement has ended, but another is just beginning!
There were at least five or six Mahayana cultivators surrounding the Five Elements Sect members.
They wouldn't dare to make a move here.
However, they could stay close behind the group, and once they left the area of Dayan Immortal City, that would be the moment for them to make their move!
Staying in the Immortal City indefinitely is not an option.
If other Immortal Venerables were to travel to the Five Elements Immortal City...
None of them expected that the last few big shots would actually take Ye Feng away as well.
But that's fine too; perhaps it's even safer that way.
Zhou Yongcheng looked at his junior brothers and sisters, and they all nodded at him with firm eyes.
Take a deep breath and say:
"Let's go! Let's go out and meet a few top-tier figures!"
He put away the three small golden cores again, and the group formed hand seals, preparing to activate their escape techniques.
Just then...
"Brother Yongcheng, wait for me!"
Zhou Yongcheng turned his head in surprise, and upon seeing the person who had arrived, his eyes flickered.
"Your brother!"
The newcomer was none other than Frost Heaven Spirit Lord, Ling Fenghan!
"It's been almost five hundred years since we last saw each other after Senior Fire Dragon passed away, hasn't it?"
"Four hundred and eighty-six years!"
Ling Fenghan's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said,
"Back then, you were at the Void Returning stage, while I was only at the Nascent Soul stage. Now, we are both Integration stage cultivators!"
"You have great talent, so you'll naturally advance faster!"
"Haha...you're just too slow!"
Having five elemental roots is naturally much slower than having a single elemental root.
Zhou Yongcheng smiled slightly and offered no explanation.
"Let's go! It's been so long since I've been to the Five Elements Sect. Let's have some fun this time!"
"Today is not a good day, let's invite you another day!"
Ling Fenghan was clearly trying to help them, but Zhou Yongcheng also had his own pride.
As both are top-tier cultivators, he has no reason to rely on the name of the Ice God Sect to save his life.
Moreover, even if Feng Han were to be reborn as a Nascent Soul cultivator, just one of these Mahayana cultivators would be enough to hold him off.
Zhou Yongcheng, on the other hand, only needed to lead his junior brothers and sisters to escape for their lives.
If something unexpected happens, he can still self-destruct another spiritual root... Even if the second self-destruction of his spiritual root is only barely equivalent to burning spiritual root points before, it will still be enough to deal with the situation, and he will not be without the ability to fight!
Seeing Zhou Yongcheng's resolute gaze, Ling Fenghan stopped being polite and let out a cold snort.
"That's not up to you!"
After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and twenty people instantly appeared around him, each of them at the peak of the Integration Stage.
These are the guards of the Ice God Sect!
The alliance token appeared in mid-air, instantly suppressing the cultivators from both the Black and White Sects and the Flame Demon Sect.
"I am acting on the orders of the Nine Venerables to investigate the whereabouts of the strange beast at the Five Elements Sect! Fellow Daoist Zhou, you... won't make things difficult for me, will you?"
———
"Can you rest assured now?"
"Thank you very much, Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang! Ye Feng is deeply grateful!"
In fact, the Nine Venerable Palace has always been above the plains and has never left.
Only when he was certain that Liang Yuyan and the others were safe did Ye Feng feel relieved.
"Young Ye, you were at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage before, but now you've suddenly reached the sixth level of the Void Return stage. How did you manage to do that?"
Taiyi Immortal Venerable Zhang Tiancheng, who had long been unable to contain himself, finally asked the question.
Ye Feng answered calmly and directly.
"It was in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm that the spirit of the palace gave me a few fruits. Each fruit could level me up, so I ate a few and leveled up!"
"What kind of fruit is it? May we take a look?"
Seeing their anxious expressions, Ye Feng was speechless.
I'd like to see that too...
"No, I've finished eating!"
Ye Feng's words were clearly made up on the spot and had no credibility.
But everyone firmly believed it...
Aside from the involvement of the temple spirits, they couldn't think of any other possibility.
But that opportunity might not be the fruit itself.
It might be useful for those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage and are about to return to the Void stage, but for immortal venerables like them, it's not necessarily the case.
So no one was too bothered by it.
"Gentlemen, now that the location calculation is complete, let's split up and move out as soon as possible!"
Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang remained concerned about the exotic beasts, interrupting the crowd's speculation and discussion.
"Ye Feng and I will head east, while you all take the array diagrams and head west. Let's try to capture at least three this time!"
The Thousand Transformations Array Diagram is extremely popular; any direction in which it is carried will inevitably be avoided by mythical beasts.
With Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang accompanied by a Void Returning cultivator, the other party naturally had no scruples.
In this way, we will surely achieve great success!
Just as the assembled venerables nodded, and Ye Feng was about to join them on their journey, the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable suddenly spoke.
"Why don't I go with Young Friend Ye?"
Ye Feng: ....
"I am a fourth-level Loose Immortal, which makes me easier to approach. Moreover, if there are any unexpected changes, I can make some predictions on a small scale!"
The Great Evolution Immortal Venerable's words were reasonable and well-founded, and all the other venerables felt that this was the more appropriate approach.
Immediately afterwards, the Thousand Evolutions Array Diagram was handed over to Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, was swept away by the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable with a flick of his sleeve...
