Chapter 831: Master Chu Feng

He looked up, let out a long roar to the sky, his heart filled with fervent aspirations: "Thirty years of glory, now dust and dirt; eight thousand *li* of clouds and moon!"

Someone was reciting, brimming with passion.

This was a mountainous area, lush with beautiful trees. Golden leaves covered the entire landscape. It was autumn once again, a season of abundant harvest, and after thirty years, the reclusive inhabitants here had begun to emerge from their seclusion, one after another.

On a mountaintop, a small figure stood—the very person who had just recited with such fervor.

However, later, he grew indignant, saying, "Damn it! Thirty years have passed, and I, this little Taoist, haven't changed a bit! Still so tiny?!"

On another hilltop, a silver-haired loli sat silently, her face clouded with melancholy. As if in a trance, she muttered, "Why? Why haven't I grown up yet? I'm not even as tall as my brother-in-law's thigh!"

Children who haven't grown up always wish to grow up quickly, while adults most fear the passage of time and the fading of youth. This irony was perfectly reflected in Ying Xiaoxiao and Chu Wuhen. Both of them constantly hoped their soul-light would surge and make them appear like adults. Yet, strangely, their spiritual energy was rapidly increasing, but the size of their soul-light remained largely unchanged!

A black swan, carrying a turtle shell on its back, elegantly strolled by, feigning leisure. It passed leisurely in front of them and said, "Have you ever seen a ghost grow old? They remain exactly as they were the moment they left their bodies."

"By the Heavens! Does that mean I, this Taoist, will be a big baby in split pants for a hundred years?" Chu Wuhen nearly burst into tears at that moment.

"Ahhh!" Hearing this, the silver-haired loli shrieked, "I'm over thirty years old, but I'm still like a little girl! They say I'm delicate and sculpted like jade, but I'm actually scrawny! My curves, my shapely figure, my long, fair legs, my slender waist that can be encircled with one hand, my ample bosom, my flawless, peerless beauty—I'm just... this tiny... I want to cry!"

Even the little Taoist was speechless. He cared about these things because he was an adult with an infant's soul; it was utterly humiliating. But this little aunt was furious because she lacked curves?!

"Curvy, you say? I have them," Ouyang Feng declared, taking his swan-like steps and floating away.

Indeed, its head protruded forward, and its rear was high, as it slowly ambled along. It certainly fit the description of being "curvy."

Then, Ouyang Feng turned back and added, "Oh, and long legs, I have those too."

With that, he gracefully strode away with his swan steps.

Ying Xiaoxiao stared, dumbfounded, then became furious. "You son of Juntuo, go to hell!"

Ouyang Feng's voice transmitted from afar, "Also, I possess shapely curves."

"Little Aunt, let's go get him! That guy is only two years older than me, but he always treats me like his uncle and makes fun of you. Let's attack him together!" the little Taoist egged her on.

"Let's go!" The silver-haired loli nodded.

The two instantly transformed into streaks of light and chased after him.

Seeing the situation turn sour, Ouyang Feng immediately called for help. "Old Donkey, Yellow Ox, Old Black! Come on, it's time to teach our big nephew a lesson again! Lend a hand!"

Then, the area erupted into chaos as they battled. This group of people had only recently emerged from seclusion, having been dormant for thirty years, barely showing their faces.

Back then, after Yao Yao hunted a divine beast and obtained enough divine blood, she used it to cleanse everyone of their yin energy, allowing them to cultivate in seclusion here.

Because the grey matter had cast a shadow over their hearts, making even Yao Yao somewhat wary, she earnestly pondered and studied the Lesser Six Paths Time Art. To everyone's surprise, she managed to complete a portion of it.

The Lesser Six Paths Time Art was now more complete than when Chu Feng first acquired it!

Much later, the battle finally ended, and the group dispersed.

In the clearing, a young boy lay on his back, utterly defeated. He was indeed formidable, but he couldn't contend with so many people ganging up on him. Even Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng joined in, along with others like the Tribulation-Free Ox Demon Divine Body, and his useless teammate, Ying Xiaoxiao, who always hindered him. The little Taoist was miserable.

"Little Aunt... you absolutely did that on purpose... you made me get beaten again!" Chu Wuhen cried out in indignation.

At this moment, Ying Xiaoxiao was distracted. In fact, she had been distracted during the battle itself, secretly observing her sister. She muttered to herself, "Why do I feel like she's becoming even curvier? Ugh... I don't want to live!"

Then, she spotted Qin Luoyin, elegantly strolling by with her long, beautiful legs, slender waist, and ample bosom... once again making Ying Xiaoxiao envious.

"Thirty years have passed, and I've become an old loli!" She ran off, covering her face.

"Hehe..." Maiden Xi appeared, grabbing her. "You have such pure, natural innocence! You're as beautiful as a porcelain doll. Come, let big sister knead and pinch your little face!"

Seeing Maiden Xi, Ying Xiaoxiao naturally found another object of disdain. Filled with indignation, she retorted, "Sister Xi, you're old enough to be a matron, yet you're still acting cute! How shameless!"

"I'll get you!" Maiden Xi immediately chased after her.

In the distance, deep within the mountain range, earth-shaking sounds rumbled. One could see earth and rocks tumbling, and mountains rising and falling, a truly alarming sight.

Indeed, the mountain peaks were rising and falling, fluctuating in height, constantly shifting.

However, everyone was accustomed to the sight. In recent years, the mountain depths had always been like this. They knew it was Chu Feng researching geomancy and terrain, setting up field arrays.

The main reason they stayed here was to wait for Chu Feng's field array research to yield results, for him to make a breakthrough and become a Grandmaster, so they could then go steal medicine!

For Chu Feng, these thirty years had been exceedingly fulfilling.

He had forgotten everything else, single-mindedly researching field arrays. All other thoughts had faded away as he immersed himself completely in the world of field arrays.

For him, the thirty years had brought immense gains; his field array mastery had steadily improved!

Studying field arrays involved spiritual energy. At his level, inscribing field array runes was done with soul-light and spiritual power. This meant that his spiritual energy growth was not delayed by his field array research.

Currently, Chu Feng's soul-light energy had long since reached the perfected Golden Body stage!

Over the thirty years, his spiritual power had steadily increased, reaching a peak where it could no longer break through, as it was about to involve the issue of becoming a Quasi-Saint.

Historically, there had never been Quasi-Saints in their twenties or thirties, unless they utilized special arts in this world to devour and fuse the divine particles of others. Otherwise, relying solely on self-cultivation through breathing techniques, no one at this age could directly break into the Quasi-Saint realm.

A Quasi-Saint is still a Saint; just bearing the word 'Saint' implies a world of difference!

Any Quasi-Saint taking action would completely overwhelm a Golden Body expert, whether there was one or a hundred.

To cultivators at the Golden Body level, a Quasi-Saint was as vast as the heavens, as weighty as a sea of stars—the difference was simply too great!

Of course, Chu Feng's biggest achievement was breaking through to the Grandmaster level in field arrays. He had accomplished this five years ago!

In twenty-five years, he had progressed from Field Array Master to Grandmaster, an astounding record!

Even Yao Yao had been surprised, showing an unusual expression, because even the Saint Master back then had not been so fast. Chu Feng's speed had absolutely broken all records.

Moreover, according to the situation in their original cosmic star sea, it would normally take at least two or three hundred years or more to go from Field Array Master to Grandmaster.

In other words, Chu Feng had shortened the time required to one-tenth.

Actually, this was not particularly unusual. Chu Feng's field array talent had manifested early on, proving more heaven-defying than his cultivation talent. Even the energy inheritance tower on the moon was astonished. Already during that period, Chu Feng had broken records. Otherwise, how could that tower have directly given Chu Feng the mysterious silver page that the Saint Master had obtained?

Many of the Saint Master's field array techniques were learned from that very silver page!

Now, deep within the mountain range, the various peaks rose and fell as if dancing. To the Big Black Ox and the others, this had become commonplace. Chu Feng had been like this for several years since becoming a Field Array Grandmaster!

He was controlling the earth energy, studying geomagnetism, and meditating on various runes.

At the same time, Chu Feng was also manipulating many astonishing field arrays, constructing models, and so on.

*Boom!*

Finally, a strange phenomenon occurred deep within the mountains. Streams of light shot out, soaring skyward, like ascending immortals. Light and rain interwoven, brilliant and beautiful.

A violent earthquake shook the ground!

Then, with a *crack*, heaven and earth split apart. The mountain depths completely disintegrated. All the peaks exploded, and countless geomagnetic lights emerged, like immortal-path light rain diffusing throughout the entire world.

*Boom!*

In an instant, the ground sank, and all the shattered peaks vanished.

"Chu Feng!"

"Brother-in-law!"

A group of people cried out in alarm, because a massive abyss had appeared where the mountains once stood, swallowing everything. A terrifying symbol flashed deep underground.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!*

Billions of rays of light surged out, dispelling the darkness. Countless mountains rose from the ground again, instantly becoming as tall as the sky, many times higher than their original height.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Was he casually making mountains grow and reshape themselves?

They knew this was due to Chu Feng's field array research causing various changes in the earth energy.

Everyone realized that Chu Feng's field array mastery had reached an astonishing level.

Indeed, all the peaks rose simultaneously, geomagnetism emerged, and light shone across the sky. Chu Feng sat cross-legged on the highest peak, his figure manifesting.

Compared to before, he hadn't changed; he still looked the same.

With a *whoosh*, he took a step, and earth energy surged. He vanished from his spot, then abruptly emerged from the soil in front of the others.

People gasped, taking a cold breath. The phenomena of the field array domain were too bizarre, astonishing them.

"No wonder some say that when Field Array Grandmasters bury themselves, even if they are buried in the East Sea, their descendants find them in a desert in the far west tens of thousands of years later. This is truly unfathomable, moving freely beneath the earth," even Ying Wudi exclaimed.

"Little brother-in-law, you certainly are quite enlightened," Chu Feng said with a smile.

In an instant, Ying Wudi's face turned completely dark, and he stopped talking to Chu Feng, ignoring him.

"So, does this mean you're officially coming out of seclusion?" the Big Black Ox asked with a hopeful expression.

Old Donkey also grinned broadly, a sly look on his face, saying, "Can we go pick immortal medicine now?"

Chu Feng nodded. "Prepare yourselves. We can set off now!"

"Hee-haw, hee-haw!" Old Donkey brayed excitedly, doing several backflips.

Chu Feng's face darkened. With a point of his finger, Old Donkey vanished from his spot, sent deep underground. After a long time, he finally crawled out, covered in dust and dirt, coughing incessantly, his mouth full of soil.

Seeing this, Northeast Tiger and the others, knowing Chu Feng's field array mastery had greatly advanced, were greatly invigorated. They all rubbed their fists together, eager for action.

"Brother Chu Feng, everything relies on you from now on! You clearly have the bearing of a Grandmaster. Let's go, let's go gather divine medicine!"
