Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1482 - 1479: Fellow Cultivator, Please Wait!

Exiting the Shen Family’s ancestral hall, Yang Fei pondered the familiar aura he sensed earlier from within the Myriad Life Coffin and couldn’t help but ask Shen Wanjing, "Senior Brother Shen, what material is this Myriad Life Coffin made of?"

Shen Wanjing glanced at him and chuckled, "What, are you thinking of crafting such a coffin yourself?"

Yang Fei shook his head and said, "No, but when I interacted with the Myriad Life Coffin, I felt a sense of familiarity."

Shen Wanjing appeared surprised, scrutinizing Yang Fei with puzzled eyes, "Really?"

Yang Fei thought carefully, then nodded, "Indeed, I can feel a familiar aura from it."

Shen Wanjing’s expression changed subtly, "Have you seen Myriad Life Wood?"

Yang Fei suddenly understood.

He hadn’t seen Myriad Life Wood before, nor had he even heard of it, but as soon as Shen Wanjing mentioned Myriad Life Wood, it reminded him of the Ancient Jianmu.

That’s it, the aura embedded in the Myriad Life Coffin indeed bears some resemblance to the Ancient Jianmu, hence the familiar feeling.

"Is Myriad Life Wood very precious and rare?" Yang Fei asked.

Shen Wanjing nodded, "Myriad Life Wood is a hybrid between the Ancient Jianmu and another type of ancient miraculous tree. After the Ancient Jianmu vanished from the Cultivation World, Myriad Life Wood became known as the most spiritual wood among all trees in the Cultivation World, with a wide range of uses. However, its growth cycle is extremely lengthy and with a very limited remaining quantity, hence it was overharvested during the early stages of cultivation and eventually became extinct. Now, there are no living Myriad Life Wood in the Cultivation World, and any remaining Myriad Life Wood material is inherited through artifacts crafted from Myriad Life Wood; thus, it is highly precious and rare."

Upon hearing mention of the Ancient Jianmu, Yang Fei felt immense happiness.

Years ago, the people from Lingxiao Sect had enlightened him about the Ancient Jianmu; now hearing this information again from Shen Wanjing, he was absolutely clear how precious the Ancient Jianmu he had left at White Jade City, used as the Array’s core pillar for the Four Spirits Blood Array, truly was.

If he remembered correctly, it had already sprouted. If it grew into a towering Jianmu in the future, it would be an unparalleled treasure in the current Cultivation World.

The only regret was that the growth cycle of the Ancient Jianmu was remarkably long. If he wanted to use Jianmu to craft a magic treasure akin to the Myriad Life Coffin, who knows how long he would have to wait? By then, the preservation of Li Xuanyu’s body would remain uncertain.

"Did you see Myriad Life Wood on Earth?" Shen Wanjing asked, staring at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei pondered, then nodded, "Seems like I did."

Shen Wanjing’s eyes flashed with a gleam, "Was it timber or a tree?"

Yang Fei replied, "Timber."

Shen Wanjing gave a sound of understanding, somewhat disappointed yet unsurprised, "If it’s merely a few pieces of timber, it’s not that extraordinary. If it were living Myriad Life Wood, that would be valuable."

Yang Fei didn’t want Shen Wanjing to know about the Jianmu for now, so he changed the topic and said, "Senior Brother Shen, my sister Xuanyu is staying with the Shen Family; I’ll trouble you to look after her while I head to Xifeng Valley, and then hurry back to Shang Qing Sect. I won’t linger."

"Are you really heading to Xifeng Valley?" Shen Wanjing furrowed his brows and said, "I may not convince Xi Hua Fairy to let someone go immediately, but if I write to her, she wouldn’t harm your friend’s life, she’d likely give me this courtesy. At most, your friend will suffer, but not face life-threatening danger. However, if you head there, should Xi Hua Fairy take a liking to you, even with her giving face to Shang Qing Sect and me, you’ll suffer."

Yang Fei was unsure what kind of special background or abilities Xi Hua Fairy had, yet Shen Wanjing and Li Shuya, both formidable figures, were reluctant to provoke her.

However, Sun Xingyu was his brother, after becoming involved with the issues between Li Xuanyu and Umekawa Taro, had offended the Tianzhu Peak family, consequently fled from Shang Qing Sect, only to fall into Xi Hua Fairy’s hands. For emotional reasons and moral obligation, upon learning Sun Xingyu’s whereabouts, he must rescue him.

Considering he had the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl as a trump card, Yang Fei decided to go to Xifeng Valley.

Even if captured by Xi Hua Fairy, he could use the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to escape.

Seeing Yang Fei resolved, Shen Wanjing didn’t persuade further, saying instead, "Very well, you young one are loyal and righteous. If I were to persuade you otherwise, it would be persuading you to abandon loyalty and righteousness. If you don’t go, I would dismiss you in my heart."

After finishing, he flipped his palm, producing a jade token from thin air, and drawing symbols in the air with his finger as if writing on it, then handed the jade token to Yang Fei, "Show this jade token to Xi Hua Fairy when you meet her; once she sees my letter, at the very least she won’t kill you."

These life-saving talismans were certainly things Yang Fei needed to keep. He quickly accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Shen. Farewell for now, until we meet again."

"Do you need me to send someone to escort you on such a long journey?" Shen Wanjing asked.

Yang Fei hurriedly shook his head, "No need, I can’t live under the protection of Shang Qing Sect and Senior Brother Shen forever. I must eventually face the wide world and survive independently, and it’s a good opportunity to experience this world’s customs."

Shen Wanjing praised, "Not bad, we cultivators can only rely on ourselves ultimately. But the cultivation world is exceptionally treacherous; if you truly reach a life-and-death juncture, prioritize safety. Remember, only with life can there be a future."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Shen. I will remember it." Yang Fei cupped his hands in salute.

Leaving the Shen Family, Yang Fei indeed wanted to stroll through Shifang City, to truly feel the lively bustle of the Cultivation World here, but considering he had to find Sun Xingyu, he dismissed the idea.

He steered the Spirit Boat flying over Shifang City, heading in the direction of Xifeng Valley.

Standing aboard the Spirit Boat, Yang Fei gazed at the vast city stretching beneath him, reflecting on the deeds Taoist Wuji carried out to save his wife Jiang Shifang, feeling deeply touched within.

Suddenly, his heart tightened, and a chill gleam flashed across his eyes.

Someone was watching him.

Since arriving in the Southern Domain, he had always been in the company of figures like Wan Daorong and Shen Wanjing, and hadn’t been secretly watched by any cultivator during his journey.

Now, just alone and yet to leave Shifang City, someone was stealthily observing him.

More importantly, he was already at Middle stage Core Formation Cultivation, with his Divine Sense surpassing others at the same realm; normally, cultivators with a lower realm wouldn’t dare to spy on him, yet the Divine Sense that just observed him was elusive. When Yang Fei attempted to track with his Divine Sense, he could only pinpoint a general direction, unable to lock onto the opponent, indicating the person’s realm was higher than his.

The Cultivation World truly wasn’t safe.

For him, a cultivator with Middle stage Core Formation, to be watched as soon as he stepped out, was indeed displeasing.

Remaining vigilant, he used his telekinesis to speed up the Spirit Boat’s flight.

Flying high above Shifang City, Yang Fei repeatedly felt the sensation of being watched.

These cultivators probing his depths all had a higher cultivation than him, which somewhat discouraged him.

It seems the Cultivation World truly had masters aplenty; his realm, though considered powerful, was nothing in a city like Shifang where cultivators gathered.

Soon, having steered the Spirit Ship out of Shifang City, he detected no longer being watched and felt slightly relieved.

Yet, after a short period, his eyes narrowed as his heart suddenly felt a warning.

"Fellow, please wait!"
