As the old man with the wine jug spoke, the vitality in his body began to fade away at a terrifying speed.

No matter what means you use to spy on the secrets of heaven, it will cost you your lifespan.

Even a cultivator as strong as the Nascent Soul stage has no way to escape this backlash.

As his vitality continued to fade away, the old man with the wine pot looked even older. In just a moment, he had lost nearly four hundred years of his lifespan, and it was still slipping away.

Despite losing so much of his lifespan, the fog in front of the old man with the wine pot did not react at all.

The old man with the wine pot was horrified:
“I was just asking a sect from the outer sea, but I lost so much of my lifespan, and Tianji hasn’t given any feedback yet. What’s going on?”

The old man with the wine pot was horrified to the extreme.

The passing of lifespan is irreversible, and there is no way for him to stop it. This is also the disadvantage and risk of the Heavenly Secret Rope.

Once the deduction begins, it cannot be stopped, so the cultivators who use the Heavenly Secret Rope will not ask overly secretive questions.

As time passed, the skin of the old man with the wine pot began to wrinkle. At this moment, he had lived for nearly a thousand years.
He only had two thousand years left to live, which was cut in half in an instant. This almost destroyed his possibility of achieving divine enlightenment in the future.

The longer a cultivator lives, the greater the possibility of achieving divine enlightenment.

But the old man with the wine pot no longer cared about his future breakthrough to become a god. His heart was now completely filled with fear.

Because his lifespan is still passing away, but the deduction of the heavenly secrets by the Heavenly Secret Rope has not yet ended.

“What is going on? Why is this happening!” The old man with the wine pot wanted to give up the deduction and stop the loss of his life, but he found that he couldn’t do it at all.

The deduction of the secrets of heaven involved the law of cause and effect, which was not something that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like him could stop.

The old man with the wine pot was getting older and older, and a sense of death began to emerge from him.

Just at this moment, the fog in front of the old man with the wine pot changed, and a picture appeared in front of the old man with the wine pot.

This scene was exactly the one where Zhou Kuntai and Mu Bai went to the Black Sea branch to cause trouble for the Xingfeng Sect not long ago.

And the scene just freezes at the moment when Zhou Kuntai was killed.

The old man with the wine pot widened his eyes. He didn’t dare to miss any details because this was what he had exchanged for thousands of years of life.

Soon, the old man with the wine pot discovered a clue. The faces of the other people present were visible, but Chen Feng, who was standing on the aerospace mothership, was blurry.

This blur is very strange, as if Chen Feng, this space and this world are somewhat out of tune.

“This is…” The old man with the wine pot was shocked.

Although he had a wide range of knowledge, he could not see what this vagueness represented.

At this time, the picture began to zoom out.

Soon they arrived outside Canglan Star and finally stopped in front of a huge object with a large number of lenses on it.

Once this object appears in the picture, the picture may disappear at any time.

The fog in this blurry space completely dissipated.

Inside the Beast Taming Sect’s main hall, the old man with the wine pot opened his eyes at this time, and he returned to the Beast Taming Sect’s main hall.

However, in front of him, besides the red-faced old man, there were several other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect, and Cassia Seed was also there.

After discovering that the old man with the wine pot’s life was fading away at a very fast rate, the red-faced old man immediately notified Cassiae and the others.

So several people were waiting for the old man with the wine pot to wake up.

Seeing the old man with the wine pot awake, Cassia immediately asked: “Junior Brother Qiu, what did you deduce? Why did you lose so much of your lifespan?”

The other Nascent Soul cultivators also looked at the old man with the wine pot.

The old man with the wine pot spoke with difficulty: “Blurred figure. Outside the domain”

As soon as the old man with the wine pot finished saying this, the death aura on his body immediately became heavier, and then his entire body and soul turned into ashes and completely dissipated.

In the hall, when several people saw this scene, they all fell into silence, and their hearts were filled with horror.

Cassiae turned to look at the red-faced old man and asked, “Is there really no problem with this Heavenly Secret Rope?”

The red-faced old man said with an unpleasant expression: “Brother, this Tianji Tower was given to me by the Sect Master, how could there be any problem? And it can be used three times.”

The red-faced old man waved his right hand, and the rope that had fallen to the ground returned to his hand.

But at this moment, the Tianji Rope had been completely broken and was obviously no longer usable.

Cassiae said with a gloomy face: “It seems that the Xingfeng Sect is more complicated than we thought. Pass my order. From today on, no one from my Beastmaster Sect is allowed to go to the outer sea. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for the Xingfeng Sect will be expelled from the sect immediately!”

The other Nascent Soul elders nodded immediately upon hearing this, and at this moment no one had any objection.

A Nascent Soul cultivator used the Heavenly Secret Rope to deduce the Xing Feng Sect, but actually ended up exhausting his own lifespan, and the information he provided in the end was very little. This is enough to fully illustrate how terrifying the Xing Feng Sect is.

Moreover, everyone was feeling a little sad at this moment. This was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even in their Beast Taming Sect, there were not many Nascent Soul cultivators. Every loss was a huge loss for the Beast Taming Sect.

At this time, an elder asked Cassiae:
“Brother, Junior Brother Qiu mentioned the outside world before he died. Could it be that this Xingfeng Sect came from outside the world?”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became serious again.

It’s a different story when it comes to matters outside the domain. This is no longer something that their Beast Taming Sect can handle. Matters outside the domain are handled by the Cultivation Alliance.

Cassiae said in a serious voice: “This matter cannot be spread outside. Everything will be discussed after the sect master and his men come back.”

Cassiae did not want to report the matter directly to the Cultivation Alliance, because it involved too many deep issues. He had to wait until the Beastmaster and others returned before making a decision.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and soon everyone dispersed.

Before leaving, many people looked at the place where the old man with the wine pot had disappeared, and they were filled with emotion.

Even if you have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, if you take a wrong step, you will still end up dead.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The news of Chen Feng’s instant killing of a Nascent Soul cultivator was still spreading rapidly both at home and abroad.

But for Chen Feng, who was at the center of the storm, he didn’t pay any attention to anything.

Half a month ago, after he returned to Xingfeng Sect from the Black Sea Branch, he began to deal with matters within the sect.

He has been in seclusion recently and has paid little attention to the affairs within the sect. Now that he has some free time, he can finally ask about the affairs within the sect.

Luo Yinxue stayed in the Northern Territory for seven days and then left. During these seven days, Chen Feng also played the role of a good host and accompanied her to visit various places in the Northern Territory.

One day, Chen Feng came to the nuclear plant.

Today’s nuclear power plant has expanded a lot compared to a few years ago, and the number of employees alone has exceeded 3,000. These 3,000 people have received professional knowledge training.

In the North, although many people study modern knowledge, they basically only focus on one field.

This is also because the functions of each department of Xingfengmen are different. For those who want to learn modern knowledge, they will first determine which department of Xingfengmen they want to join before they carry out systematic learning.

With Taiyi’s help, more and more people in Xingfengmen are mastering modern knowledge.

“Master, we have initially developed a three-phase bomb with a yield of one million tons. We have only produced six so far, one of which was used for testing. However, the materials required for this three-phase bomb are too precious, and we no longer have any in stock.”

Inside the nuclear plant, Yue Yao reported to Chen Feng about the three-phase bomb.

For Yue Yao, who had experience in making three-phase bombs, it didn’t take her too much time to make a three-phase bomb with a yield of one million.

“Give them all to me first. I’ll ask Liu Qian to send the materials to you later.” Chen Feng nodded and then spoke.

A three-phase bomb with a one hundred-ton equivalent not only requires precious materials, but also the spirit stones used must be top-grade spirit stones. This kind of weapon cannot be mass-produced and can only be used on a small scale.

Hearing Chen Feng’s words, Yue Yao immediately asked excitedly: “Master, are you going to use the three-phase bomb? Can you take me with you? I want to see the actual combat of the three-phase bomb. Don’t worry, I will definitely not make trouble.”

Although Yue Yao had already tested the power of a million-ton three-phase bomb, she had never seen how much damage this thing could cause to cultivators.

Now that Chen Feng has taken away all the three-phase bombs with a yield of one million tons, they will definitely be used. Naturally, she does not want to miss the opportunity to observe the actual combat of the three-phase bombs.

“No, just stay inside the door.”

Chen Feng took these three-phase bombs naturally in preparation for his trip to the Inner Sea. Now that the affairs of the Xingfeng Sect have been almost dealt with, it is time for him to go to the Inner Sea.

This time he only planned to bring Zeng Jiao with him, and not the others.

Yue Yao was a little disappointed when she heard this: “Okay.”

Chen Feng glanced at Yue Yao’s frustrated expression, and then said, “If I use it, I will record it and show it to you when I come back.”

Yue Yao, who was originally in a low mood, suddenly brightened up when she heard Chen Feng’s words: “Really?”

“Well, wait for me to come back and do your work well.”

“Okay, then I’ll be waiting for your news, Sect Master!” Yue Yao’s face was full of smiles, and at this moment she smiled like a child.

After leaving the nuclear plant, Chen Feng returned to the Xingfengmen headquarters.

He found Liu Qian who was working in the cabinet.

Liu Qian was dealing with matters within the sect with Mo Chen. When they saw Chen Feng coming over, they both immediately saluted: “Master.”

Chen Feng looked at Liu Qian and asked, “What’s going on recently?”

Liu Qian immediately said: “No, the outer sea is very peaceful, but there are several leaders who want to see the master, but I rejected them all.”

Chen Feng smiled slightly. He was not surprised by this.

It is very common to curry favor with the powerful in the world of immortal cultivation. He killed a Nascent Soul cultivator and nominally became the strongest being in the outer sea.

“There is also news about the Inner Sea. Our intelligence personnel just delivered the information about the Inner Sea yesterday. Master, please take a look.” Liu Qian took out a jade slip.

Chen Feng took the jade slip and probed into it with his spiritual sense. Soon a long list of information appeared in his mind.

After reading the contents, Chen Feng put the jade slip down, his brows slightly furrowed: “The Ranking”

Liu Qian said at the side: “The Fengyun Ranking is a list set by Tianji Tower, which is specially used to evaluate the rankings of the major forces in the Inner Sea. This time, Tianji Tower ranked us 21st, but it caused a stir in the Inner Sea.”

Liu Qian’s face was very solemn. Although it seemed that their Xingfeng Sect had become famous once by entering the Fengyun List, it also brought a lot of trouble.

There are many forces in the Inland Sea now that want to cause trouble for them.

Because as long as these forces can defeat them, they can directly enter the 21st place on the list. If it were not for the restrictions inside and outside the country, these forces would have come to them long ago.

Chen Feng said: “I have heard that this Tianji Tower is not simple. Now it seems that they have been investigating us for a long time. What about the situation of the Beast Taming Sect?”

The jade slip did not record anything about the Beast Taming Sect.

Compared to this list of the hottest names, Chen Feng is more concerned about the Beast Taming Sect.

After all, two Nascent Soul cultivators died in the Beastmaster Sect this time. If the other party intends to retaliate, he must be prepared early.

Liu Qian said:

“The Beast Tamer Sect’s actions are very strange. According to our intelligence personnel, the Beast Tamer Sect recalled all its disciples some time ago and forbade them to go out. They have not publicly expressed their intention to deal with us. Our people are still investigating.”

Chen Feng nodded when he heard this. It seemed that his previous guess was correct. After killing the two Nascent Souls of the Beast Taming Sect, the Beast Taming Sect would definitely be wary.

The Beastmaster Sect will not take action before investigating their cards clearly.

“I need to go to the Inner Sea, and the matters inside the sect will be left to you.” Chen Feng spoke to Liu Qian.

Liu Qian was shocked: “Master, the inner sea is extremely dangerous, and without our satellite coverage, if you are in danger, we can’t even provide support!”

Normally, if Chen Feng went out, Liu Qian would not worry too much.

With Chen Feng’s strength and Xingfengmen’s current influence in the outer sea, almost no one dares to provoke Chen Feng, and Chen Feng will not encounter any danger.

But it would be different if Chen Feng went to the inland sea.

The place is still very unfamiliar to the Xingfeng Sect. Although Liu Qian sent a lot of people to the inland sea to inquire about intelligence, those people are insignificant compared to the vast inland sea.

Mo Chen also advised: “Yes, Sect Master, you are now at the center of the storm. If those forces know that you are going to the Inner Sea, they will definitely take action.”

Both Mo Chen and Liu Qian already knew that the last time Chen Feng killed a Nascent Soul cultivator in seconds he relied on the Xingfeng Sect’s latest weapon, the Xingfeng Sword, and not Chen Feng’s own strength.

Chen Feng is just a Jindan cultivator. Although Jindan can become a hegemon in the outer sea, it is insignificant in the inner sea.

There is no telling how many ancient sects there are, and the number of Nascent Soul cultivators is far beyond what is available in the outer sea. It is extremely dangerous for Chen Feng to go to the inner sea.

“I have made up my mind. No need to persuade me anymore. I will be back in one month at the shortest and three months at the longest.” Chen Feng did not tell Liu Qian that he had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Now he has deeply understood that only hiding can bring unexpected results.

Seeing that Chen Feng had made up his mind, Liu Qian stopped trying to persuade him and took out another jade slip:

“Master, this is the identity information of our intelligence personnel in the Inner Sea. I hope you can contact them after you arrive in the Inner Sea so that we can know your situation.”

Chen Feng took the jade slip and patted Liu Qian on the shoulder: “Don’t worry, over the years, have you ever seen me do anything that I’m not sure of?”

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot. (End of this chapter)
