Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Reminiscing the Past

Yan Rufeng calculated the time, and there were less than ten days left before the contest between the two major bases. He couldn’t continue his secluded cultivation. One Nascent Soul had taken him over two months, and cultivating another would take even longer. Yan Rufeng looked at the numerous Spirit Veins within Southern Yue, shook his head reluctantly, and left Southern Yue on his Flying Sword.

Ordinary cultivators who reached the Nascent Soul Stage had only one Nascent Soul in their Dantian, but Yan Rufeng was different. To advance to the Emergence Stage, Yan Rufeng needed twelve Nascent Souls. This could be seen from when he was in the Golden Core Stage, where he had twelve Golden Cores to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

Therefore, no matter the level, Yan Rufeng’s cultivation always required twelve times, or even more, the Spiritual Energy and time of an ordinary person.

The biggest characteristic of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage was that the life essence in their Dantian, formed by Spiritual Energy, was known as the Nascent Soul. After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, a cultivator could be said to have an additional life.

In the cultivation world, fraught with danger and opportunity, cultivators who defied heaven and changed fate had to stay vigilant, constantly battling against heaven, and incidents of killing and robbing treasures often occurred.

If a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage was ambushed or outmatched, they would usually have to abandon their physical body to let the Nascent Soul escape. After escaping alive, they would use the Nascent Soul to cultivate anew. Although the threat to a standalone Nascent Soul was greater, it was still better than perishing entirely.

Of course, not everyone was that fortunate. In the past, when Yan Rufeng was in the cultivation world, countless Nascent Soul Stage experts who fell by his hand or were killed by others did not have their Nascent Souls escape alive.

In a world where Emergence Stage cultivators were as common as dogs and Nascent Souls were everywhere, Yan Rufeng’s cultivation journey was not smooth. He had faced danger and was on the brink of death. On one occasion, a master from the Emergence Stage destroyed one of his Nascent Souls. Fortunately, that person didn’t anticipate that Yan Rufeng had twelve Nascent Souls within him. To protect himself, Yan Rufeng instantly fused his remaining eleven Nascent Souls and forcefully advanced to the Emergence Stage, then killed that person.

Sitting cross-legged on the Flying Sword, Yan Rufeng closed his eyes tightly and recalled everything that happened in the cultivation world...

It was a sunny morning, with a gentle breeze and calm waters. Thinking he was already dead, Yan Rufeng opened his eyes and found himself lying on a wooden bed. When he turned, a fair and elegant woman suddenly appeared before him.

The woman, dressed in purple, stood before Yan Rufeng with a gentle smile. Yan Rufeng looked at the woman, whose complexion was as fair as snow and whose eyes were clear as a pool, and weakly asked, "Is this the underworld?"

"Haha!"

The purple-clothed woman laughed like silver bells, her voice melodious. "Sir, this is not Rashamon Hell; this is the Dragon Abyss Sect."

"Dragon Abyss Sect?"

"Ah..."

Just awakened, Yan Rufeng’s head throbbed painfully as his mind was flooded with a vast amount of information.

After digesting the vast information, Yan Rufeng realized that he had not truly died. His soul had traveled to an unknown cultivation world...

Yan Rufeng couldn’t bear to recall the joyful times in the cultivation world. Now on Earth, with the beauty long gone, only by sealing away these memories could he truly miss her.

His slightly long black hair fluttered back and forth on Yan Rufeng’s cheeks. Despite being in seclusion for over two months without grooming, the elegant Yan Rufeng remained handsome and dashing.

Flying along on his sword, Yan Rufeng opened his Divine Sense and couldn’t help but marvel at the changes in this world over the past few months.

"In just two months, those once weak Spirit Veins have now formed a climate. Perhaps Spirit Stones have already been produced around these Spirit Veins..."

Yan Rufeng did not linger but sped towards the Zhongzhou Wolong Abyss.

Hovering above Wolong Abyss and seeing the grand ancient architectural complex below, Yan Rufeng couldn’t help but praise Zhou Tong.

"Zhou Tong is truly remarkable. Under her design and construction, this Wolong Abyss indeed mirrors the grandeur of the Dragon Abyss Sect from the cultivation world. When I see Zhou Tong later, I must praise her well..."

As soon as Yan Rufeng landed from his Flying Sword, he was spotted by Murong Xue, who was idling nearby.

Murong Xue was momentarily stunned upon seeing someone suddenly descend from the sky.

Yan Rufeng smiled calmly. "Fatty Girl, you’ve become even prettier in these two months."

"Rufeng..."

Murong Xue snapped out of her daze and weakly asked, "Are you a god?"

"I’m not a god!"

Murong Xue walked to Yan Rufeng’s side and examined him closely.

"Why are you okay after falling from the sky?" Murong Xue asked, pointing to the sky with her large, almond-shaped eyes.

"Fatty Girl, you’ll understand soon. My phone is dead. Can you send a message in our classmates’ group and ask everyone to come to the main hall?" Yan Rufeng said kindly.

After sending a message to the classmates’ group, Murong Xue followed Yan Rufeng to the main hall.

Upon hearing that Yan Rufeng had returned, everyone at Wolong Abyss gathered towards the main hall.

For a time, members of the Yan Family, Mu Family, and Li Xiaofei all arrived at the main hall.

In the main hall, Yan Rufeng stood in the center but did not see Zhou Tong.

"Li Xiaofei, where is Sister Tong?"

Li Xiaofei spread his hands helplessly. "Rufeng, she left shortly after the project was completed."

"She left?"

Yan Rufeng felt a heavy weight in his heart and an immense sense of frustration.

"Xiao Fei, you must find a way to get her back. With the Heavenly Dao changing so quickly, it’s very dangerous for her to be outside."

"Rufeng, what do you mean by the Heavenly Dao changing, and why is it dangerous?" the class monitor asked in confusion.

Su Moran then said, "Uncle Master Meng, what my master meant by the changes in the Heavenly Dao is that people on Earth can now cultivate!"

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible," the class monitor said, waving his hand in disbelief.

Murong Xue suddenly said, "Class monitor, nothing is impossible. Today, I saw Brother Rufeng fall from the sky."

"Fatty Girl, are you sure Rufeng fell from the sky?"

Murong Xue nodded firmly. Everyone present, except the Yan and Mu families, was surprised and asked Yan Rufeng.

"Rufeng, what’s going on? Can you explain it to us?"

Yan Rufeng didn’t explain. Instead, he waved his hand, instantly unlocking the governor and conception vessels of everyone without cultivation present, and their minds were also filled with vast amounts of information.

After a while, a gasp of amazement came from the main hall.

"I never thought I, Murong Xue, could also cultivate, haha..."

Everyone, having reached the Qi Refinement Realm, understood what Yan Rufeng meant by the changes in the Heavenly Dao.

"Rufeng, rest assured. As the class monitor of Class Three, I am obliged to protect the personal safety of our classmates. Regarding Zhou Tong, don’t worry. I’ll ensure she returns within three days," the class monitor vowed, patting his chest.

Yan Rufeng’s lips curled into a smile. "With the class monitor’s guarantee, I’m relieved. Once you bring Sister Tong back, everyone can cultivate peacefully here at Wolong Abyss. I won’t be gone for long."

"What? Brother Rufeng, are you leaving again?" Murong Xue pouted unhappily.

"Yes, Rufeng, since you’re here, can’t you stay a few more days before leaving?" asked Yan Rufeng’s mother, Mu Ru.

Immediately, Yan Mo, Mu Yang, and others also expressed their desire for Yan Rufeng to stay a few more days.

Having no other choice, Yan Rufeng agreed.

Upon hearing Yan Rufeng’s return, Xiaxia was extremely happy and excited. She immediately drove quickly towards Wolong Abyss.

In the main hall of Wolong Abyss, the class monitor said she would bring Zhou Tong back to Wolong Abyss and left alone. Others, having just entered the Qi Refinement Realm, were eager to improve their cultivation upon sensing the rich Spiritual Energy in Wolong Abyss. They all left the main hall to cultivate diligently in preparation for the changes in the Heavenly Dao.

Soon, only Yan Rufeng remained in the main hall, feeling a bit perplexed.

"Haha!"

"What’s going on? They wanted me to stay just so I could be alone in the hall?" Yan Rufeng sighed helplessly.

"Brother Rufeng, who said you’re alone? I’m here with you..."

Xiaxia ran cheerfully to Yan Rufeng’s side.
