CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: HEARTLESS IMMORTAL BONE

While Jiang Cheng and the members of the Heart Division were contemplating how to deal with Saint Bi Feng, the two thousand guests also returned to various places within the Thousand Spirit Domain.

The details of the grand ceremony quickly spread.

All two thousand participants of the banquet had significantly enhanced their strength.

It was as if they had collectively entered a Treasure Cave.

No, that wouldn’t do it justice.

Among these two thousand people, the least had advanced by three to four minor realms, and some had even advanced two major realms.

It was akin to changing one’s destiny and being reborn!

And this miraculous effect was entirely attributed to that banquet.

It was said that every fruit, vegetable, and beverage at the banquet greatly enhanced cultivation.

Not only that, before leaving, everyone was given a ring filled with cultivation resources.

The scene Jiang Cheng envisioned had come true.

Outsiders were not just envious now.

Many were so jealous their eyes turned red.

On what grounds?

These two thousand people didn’t pay a price; they merely took a jaunt to feast and drink.

It could be said they hardly put in any effort.

Yet they gained more than many who had spent hundreds of years in ascetic cultivation and trials.

Such comparisons are maddening.

Especially those who had been invited by the Feixian Sect before but deliberately declined.

For example, members of the Zhao family’s leaders and elders, genuinely regretful to the core.

This grand ceremony was actually a giant opportunity!

The opportunity had once been right in front of them, but they had pushed it away themselves, giving it to the steward Zhao Hongde for free.

When Zhao Hongde left, he was at the Gathering Yuan Sixth Layer; upon return, he was already at the Soul Splitting Third Layer.

Standing on par with some of the family elders...

There’s no reasoning this out.

Blame it on the generosity and grand gesture of the Feixian Sect.

Had they known they would have moved their entire family to participate!

If they had, the entire Zhao Family’s power would have increased dramatically, changing the fate of the family entirely.

Two elders of the Zhao Family grew more and more stifled with regret, to the extent that they unprecedentedly fell ill even at the Soul Splitting Realm.

Sadly, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Now, besides envy, jealousy, and resentment, the outside world looks forward with eagerly stretched necks, hoping the Feixian Sect will host another joyous occasion.

Like an annual, ten-year, or hundred-year celebration, or perhaps achieving the Saint Tier, or the Sect Leader getting married...

Surely, they would hold another grand ceremony then, wouldn’t they?

Billions of cultivators in the Thousand Spirit Domain declared, if invited, they’d definitely attend.

Ah no, even if not invited, they would travel overnight, spontaneously arriving to offer congratulations.

Hands don’t strike a smiling face.

The focus of mid to lower-level cultivators was on the banquet, but for the apex experts and major powers, these things held no interest.

What concerned them were two other details of the ceremony.

The Mingxin Sacred Land, normally aloof from outside affairs, had shockingly sent all their experts to support the Feixian Sect.

Besides this strong ally, the Feixian Sect had a Demon King level Tiger Demon as a guardian!

This Tiger Demon was the ’culprit’ that had ravaged the Purple Cloud Sacred Land a year ago.

These two pieces of information forced all major powers to reevaluate the Feixian Sect’s strength.

Especially the latter; that was undoubtedly Saint Tier combat power!

Many suddenly understood why Silence Sacred Land was wiped out.

If Brother Cheng learned of this reaction from the outside world, he’d likely regret letting the Three-Eyed Tiger go on stage.

Once again, his glorious achievements were overshadowed.

The pilots of the Eight Great Sacred Lands felt secretly relieved, thankful they hadn’t impulsively launched an attack; it would have been seeking death.

The only hope they had now rested on Saint Bi Feng.

This Saint Tier not only possessed immense power but had many methods as well.

With him around, the order established by the Nine Venerable Sacred Lands could continue to hold.

Little did they know, Saint Bi Feng was currently very busy.

His Dharma Body traversed seven domains, arriving at the Ten Thousand Bones Domain, billions of miles away.

"Bi Feng, are you telling the truth?"

"There really is a Void Immortal Realm, with its entrance under your control?"

Amidst the void, there stood three altars as grand as mountains.

Golden bones stacked layer upon layer, radiating a holy light amongst the clouds.

Upon these three altars floated three skeletons of white jade.

The central skeleton resembled a human but was twice the height of a regular human, and had two golden bone wings behind its back.

When it spoke, a faint glow sliced across the top of its head.

Standing proudly amidst the three altars, Bi Feng had a carefree smile.

"How dare I deceive the Golden Wing Saint King; the matter of the Void Immortal Realm is entirely true!"

Outwardly calm, he was, in fact, very cautious.

These three white jade skeletons were Saint Tier experts equivalent to him.

However, in the Lower Realm of Ten Thousand Realms, cultivation systems varied.

The beings of the Ten Thousand Bones Domain did not cultivate meridians, Qi Sea, or Divine Soul, only skeletons.

Their cultivation process involved shedding skin and flesh, refining pure skeletal forms.

This cultivation method was determined by the natural environment and racial characteristics there, unreplicable in other domains.

The three skeletons remained silent, seemingly communicating privately.

After a moment, the Golden Wing Saint King spoke again.

"You aren’t so generous as to willingly inform us of this news."

Bi Feng gently smiled: "The Saint King’s words are accurate."

"Opening the Void Immortal Realm requires a significant cost, naturally, it won’t let people in for free."

This explained why his Dharma Body had been roaming various domains in recent years.

For the Heart Division, unlocking the Void Immortal Realm was a perfect chance to enter the Immortal Realm.

For Saint Bi Feng, it equally presented a business opportunity.

Possessing the Bone Refining Banner, he effectively controlled one of the Void Immortal Realm’s entrances, allowing him to sell ’tickets’ at exorbitant prices.

Especially as the other eight tribes of the Immortal Remnant Race lacked his entrepreneurial mindset, leaving him without competition.

Just like the three Saint Kings of the Ten Thousand Bones Domain, believing there was only one entrance and unaware there were actually nine.

"State your terms."

"My demands are modest, merely three complete sections of Heartless Immortal Bone!"

At these words, the void, spanning tens of thousands of miles, began to storm and thunder.

The hollow eye sockets of the three Saint Kings burned with divine light.

"How did you learn of the Heartless Immortal Bone?"

This Heartless Immortal Bone was their supreme treasure in the Ten Thousand Bones Domain.

Back when the Bone Race Saint King ascended to immortality, he encountered a Thunder Tribulation, some accidentally losing parts of their bodies.

Some parts, after being tempered by the Thunder Tribulation, had transitioned from Saint Bone to Immortal Bone.

These fallen parts were revered as supreme treasures by the lower Bone Race.

They could be refined into magical treasures, even Sacred Artifacts.

Whereas the Heartless Immortal Bone was a special existence among Immortal Bones, capable of being refined and merged into a part of the Bone Race’s body.

The Bone Race’s skeletons were already the strongest across the Ten Thousand Realms, exceeding even true immortals at Saint Tier strength.

What’s more, at Immortal Tier.

If successfully refined into a part of oneself, it would mean having a body part with strength surpassing Celestial Immortals.

Moreover, it might even impart a portion of the Bone Race’s unique divine techniques.

However, skeletons accidentally struck down were rare, and those that transitioned into Immortal Bones were even more precious.

The Heartless Immortal Bone was a rarity among rarities within Immortal Bones.

For thousands of millennia, not one within the Bone Race had ascended to immortality.

One could imagine its value, yet Bi Feng openly requested three sections.
