Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: Dialectical Analysis

Feng Jun really didn’t expect that after all he had said, Tian Wangun ultimately chose Fleeting Water.

Beneath her aloof exterior, she harbors a restless and discontented heart.

But for Feng Jun, it really doesn’t matter. He acknowledges that Tian Wangun is a rare beauty, but beauties are not exactly a scarce resource.

After their conversation, he handed over the Fleeting Water’s Mortal Transformation Cultivation Technique to her, with no ceremony of accepting disciples — that is a procedure to be followed after she enters the Qi Refinement Realm.

Tian Wangun, however, took it seriously. When Feng Jun asked her if she needed him to explain the Cultivation Technique, she perused the book and replied, "It’s all quite understandable. I’ll come to consult you when I encounter something I don’t understand."

Speaking truthfully, having such a disciple is quite a headache for a master.

However, Feng Jun has one good trait — when he decides to let something go, he lets it go. He immediately went back to testing his Teleportation Formation Technique.

The Array Plate for the Teleportation Formation has been borrowed from Huang Fu Flawless for over a year now. But this technique is far more challenging than a Spirit Gathering Array or the like; his progress in deciphering it is slow, and he often thinks: if it’s too hard, why not just buy it?

A set of Array Plates only costs forty thousand Spirit Stones, slightly expensive but with great effects.

His recent resurgence of interest in testing is mainly because a Golden Core has moved into his territory, limiting the things he can do.

He would like to go mine the condensing Spirit Stones, but dares he?

Even the remaining pits are noticed by Kong Ziyi, so how could he dare to provoke the Divine Sense of a Golden Core Master?

That day, Feng Jun returned home late, first beckoning to Liu Feifei, "Has Tian Wangun started cultivation yet?"

"No," replied Liu Feifei with disdain on her little face, "it’s been three days and she still hasn’t started."

Feng Jun chuckled and patted her head, "It’s all right, the beginning is the hardest. Who knows, you might end up worse off than her in the future."

Panic flickered in Liu Feifei’s eyes, "I’m so foolish, you’ll surely give me more time... right? I will cherish it."

It’s true what they say, ’The children of the poor learn to run their households early.’ They develop early survival wisdom, grasping any opportunity. Tian Wangun may be from a small clan, but being pampered to always have her way, she has become spoiled.

But today’s focus is not on Tian Wangun. No sooner had Feng Jun entered the small courtyard than Master Sumiao called him on a walkie-talkie, "Come over for a moment."

Feng Jun was speechless about this situation. Master, if you want to find me, a Divine Sense message would suffice, why bother with a walkie-talkie?

But he also knew that Master Sumiao was very curious about all the novelties in Mount Zhige; for him, this was a form of good protection, especially since it was care from a Taiqing Sect Master!

Plus, it could promote the sales of walkie-talkies, right?

So he hurriedly went out to the modest office, "May I ask what you need, Master?"

"Nothing major," Master Sumiao answered casually, casually pulling out a crown glimmering with colorful light, "We’ve obtained the Phoenix Crown. Can your tests proceed now?"

Is this the Phoenix Crown? Feng Jun felt somewhat dazed: How had it been obtained so quickly?

But the next moment, he dismissed such mundane thoughts. With Lu Wan Feng’s Intermediate Level out-of-body Cultivation Level, obtaining the Phoenix Crown wasn’t abnormal. Not obtaining it would have been.

So he stepped forward, picking up the Phoenix Crown, "Alright, I’ll go back and start researching right away. Zi Yi, come with me."

Feng Jun was indeed eager to see how much the Phoenix Crown could suppress the Chaos Yin-Yang Curse.

Zi Yi passed a questioning gaze to her grandmother, but Master Sumiao just gave a nod: Go on with him. With me here, what are you afraid of?

Feng Jun had Kong Ziyi stay in a small pavilion in the front yard, while he entered the room.

Once in the room, he began the matching process, to see how he could reduce the curse on Kong Ziyi’s body.

The Taiqing Elder’s token, virtually placed on her, didn’t work well, and seemed like a perfunctory effort at suppression.

Then Feng Jun virtually placed the Phoenix Crown on her, and the effect was immediate; the curse was suppressed by more than half in an instant.

It was evident that a kingdom’s fate was more effective at suppressing the Yin Yang Curse than a sect’s fate.

So... if you could get the Jade Seal, would it be possible to completely eliminate the curse?

Feng Jun didn’t want Master Sumiao to go after the Jade Seal, not only because it could lead to widespread suffering, but also because there was another point to consider — if even the Jade Seal couldn’t solve the problem, wouldn’t all the effort be in vain?

He retrieved Magistrate Han’s Official Seal — yes, this Official Seal was borrowed from Magistrate Han of Zhige County, genuinely borrowed.

Magistrate Han is about to leave for his winter duties in the capital, where he will give a report on his work. Having formed a good private relationship with Mountain Master Feng, borrowing the official seal for a few days is no issue—after all, as a cultivator, he has no use for such a seal.

In short, Feng Jun combined Magistrate Han’s official seal with Kong Ziyi, and the effect seemed quite significant.

That goes without saying, a dynasty’s celestial fate can better alleviate the curse compared to that of a daoist sect.

After some contemplation, Feng Jun’s complexion gradually darkened, "This is really... indeed the case."

Kong Ziyi had been waiting outside all along, listening attentively to the sounds coming from inside the room—it was a matter concerning her life and death, after all.

Hearing Feng Jun’s words, she couldn’t help but ask, "Mountain Master Feng, is it difficult to handle?"

Feng Jun liked her straightforward way of speaking, so he smiled, "No problem, it’s not that difficult to handle, but I must explain to you first, I do have some ideas on how to proceed, however... they cannot be realized in the short term."

He indeed had some ideas, because after much analysis, he believed that the curse inflicted upon Kong Ziyi was actually a force from another plane.

He had such suspicions before, but lacked sufficient theoretical foundation. However, this test made it clear—suppression by the dynasty’s celestial fate was even more effective than that of Taiqing.

What is a dynasty’s celestial fate? It is the celestial fate of the indigenous people of a plane, whereas the celestial fate of the Taiqing Sect does not only come from the plane itself—Taiqing has branches extending to other planes, with Taiqing being one of them.

If we talk about Taiqing’s celestial fate, it’s countless times stronger than that of the dynasty. It’s precisely for this reason that Master Sumiao looks down upon Donghua Country’s celestial fate, only restraining herself because of Feng Jun’s repeated reminders.

But if the dynasty’s celestial fate is more effective, that indicates the curse is based only on this plane.

As for Master Sumiao and Ji Buseng’s encounter with the nebula beyond the heavens, it’s said it shouldn’t belong to the plane where Donghua is located. In fact, it’s not like that.

Golden Core masters taking their disciples on trial adventures will mostly not leave their plane—looking at it from another perspective, if they really left their plane, they wouldn’t be dealing with a void tide, but would be surrounded by the void everywhere.

This is Feng Jun’s personal understanding, and the current experimental results support his theory.

For him, problems based on a plane are relatively easier to handle, given that he possesses the Golden Finger.

But specifically dealing with it still has its difficulties, as Kong Ziyi is a living person, not an object.

If it were an object, erasing the plane’s force from it would be too easy, but it’s much harder with a living being.

Feng Jun is not certain if, after teleporting Kong Ziyi to the Earth Plane, he would be able to erase the plane’s curse while her life force remains.

One difficulty is this, and another not so difficult issue is... the Stone Ring now is filled with energy points, and forcibly traversing planes would likely kill a Golden Core, with Kong Ziyi’s death being certain.

Feng Jun also considered whether he should get a high-rank Spirit Beast Bag, put her in it, take advantage of Feng Jing’s spatial attribute to bring her safely to the Earth Realm, then impose a slight restriction to let the force of the Earth Plane gradually erode the curse from her body.

Just as the celestial fate carried by the Kunlun Formation Pillar naturally dissipated after a short time in the Mobile Phone Plane.

But on second thought, the force on the formation pillar was from a different plane and did not fit with the native plane, which is why it dissipated so easily. On the other hand, the curse Kong Ziyi suffers from is more akin to karma from this plane, and the celestial fate of the Earth Plane may not be able to erase it.

In short, bringing a conscious Kong Ziyi over means not only borrowing a high-rank Spirit Beast Bag but also possibly exposing Feng Jun’s roots, and the success rate of doing so is also not very high.

After considering the whole situation, Feng Jun felt that this treatment plan didn’t have any advantages and decided to abandon the idea. He focused on how to bring Kong Ziyi to Earth in just the right way so that she’d be on the brink of death but still salvageable.

Kong Ziyi had long been used to disappointment, so now hearing that it was "simply not feasible in the short term," she didn’t care in the least, but instead nodded with a smile, "That’s not a problem at all. If you had said you could cure me quickly, that would have surprised me instead."

After a pause, she asked again, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"It’s mainly that the timing is not right for me," Feng Jun was about to decline, but suddenly remembered something, "Actually, my treatment plan is somewhat risky, it is possible for something to go wrong... after all, it’s an unconventional method."

Kong Ziyi nodded, not surprised by his statement at all, "I understand, I have tried all conventional methods... Of course it would be good to be cured, but if something unexpected happens, I won’t blame you."

You might not blame me, but I can’t afford the wrath of a Golden Core, let alone two! Feng Jun sighed inwardly before asking, "So I want to ask, does the Taiqing Sect have any enemies?"

"The Taiqing Sect has no enemies," Kong Ziyi shook her head and answered naturally, "Sects like the Qinggang Sect are just minor verbal disputes from time to time, stemming from differing philosophies... Those who dared to make an enemy out of Taiqing are already dead."

She stated this domineering claim casually, showing a confidence that only comes from a solid foundation.

Then she asked curiously, "Why do you ask about enemies?"

Feng Jun stroked his chin, pondering before speaking, "I was wondering... if I could get some intermediate-level out-of-touch people, so I could experiment?"
