Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1275 Protection
Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275 Protection
When Zhang Caixin, Sister Hong, and Feng Jing entangled Feng Jun, there was quite a bit of girlish coyness.
But when they heard Feng Jun speak in Mandarin, their expressions immediately stiffened. Without another word, Feng Jing hooked her arm around Feng Jun’s, while Zhang Caixin threw out a Defense Array Disk.
Before she could activate the disk, Feng Jun directly collected her and Sister Hong into the Spirit Beast Bag, then activated the defensive formation.
In all fairness, Feng Jun was being a bit overly cautious. He had circled around and now placed himself in between the Yin Spirits in the Spirit Beast Bag and a stretch of thunderous terrain.
Moreover, he was positioned in a stone forest with a high density of Obsidian, effectively hindering Divine Sense exploration.
However, he believed that caution was always necessary, as the cultivation level of that big boss was truly terrifying.
The defensive formation arose, and Feng Jun handed the Spirit Beast Bag to Feng Jing, directly holding her as he retreated back to the Earth Realm.
After releasing the two women, there was a slight delay before Zhang Caixin voiced a question, "Over there... what happened?"
Feng Jun smiled bitterly and helplessly, "There’s a big boss... who noticed me. There might be some overlapping encounters."
"Big boss..." Zhang Caixin furrowed her brows, contemplated briefly, then spoke, "If it’s Golden Core, you shouldn’t be so nervous. Could it be Nascent Soul? Does that plane really have Nascent Soul?"
Feng Jun’s mouth twitched a bit, speaking with a bitter smile, "Nascent Soul... Nascent Soul would be alright, but it’s at least Emergence Stage."
"At least Emergence?" Feng Jing was no longer calm, "Wasn’t that plane... supposed to have no Emergence Stage existences?"
"Remnant Soul," Feng Jun promptly answered, then let out another bitter smile, "Don’t underestimate the Remnant Soul, I even suspect it might be Divine Spirit Stage."
"Divine Spirit Stage..." Zhang Caixin calculated, "Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Emergence, Divine Spirit... So if a Golden Core sees it, it feels like a mortal seeing a Golden Core?"
Feng Jing also asked nervously, "Are you going back or not?"
"I definitely need to go back," Feng Jun replied with a smile, "If I don’t go back, things won’t progress over there."
"Then cultivate to Emergence Peak before you return," Feng Jing couldn’t help but suggest, "Increase your defensive strength somewhat."
"Yes, yes," Sister Hong nodded vigorously, "We made quite a profit this time with the Spirit Stones. Use them to cultivate and push to Emergence Peak."
Zhang Caixin also nodded, "Yes, even if encountering Divine Spirit Stage doesn’t work, if it’s a Remnant Soul... maybe it will be helpful."
Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, "That would be a huge problem. Have you considered that? I was originally at Emergence Third Layer, suddenly jumping to Emergence Peak. Even if they wanted to pretend not to see, it’s impossible."
The three women fell silent upon hearing this, Zhang Caixin exchanged glances with the two sisters, and thoughtfully nodded: indeed, sudden growth in cultivation level is quite conspicuous.
After a pause, Feng Jun spoke again, "Besides, cultivating to Emergence Peak within the Earth Realm is very difficult. Not only causing major phenomena, but it would also have a significant impact on the spiritual energy of this plane."
Zhang Caixin asked, "What’s its actual cultivation level? Could it be confusing... I mean, maybe it’s just a Nascent Soul Remnant Soul."
"It mentioned, anything below Emergence is like ants, surely it wouldn’t ridicule itself, right?" Feng Jun gave the answer, followed by a slight smile, "As long as you’re not by my side, I don’t have much of a problem with self-protection, worst case I retreat back... quickly."
Zhang Caixin and Sister Hong turned their heads in unison, looking at Feng Jing— they didn’t know the process of cross-dimensional travel.
Teacher Mei nodded, honestly responded, "It really is quick, a blink of an eye."
Sister Hong suddenly asked, "Is this Remnant Soul male or female?"
"Well..." Feng Jun hesitated a bit, then answered frankly, "It’s more likely female."
He truly couldn’t say male or female, as he didn’t even know what the opponent’s true form was—what if it wasn’t human?
The three women exchanged silent glances, none spoke, the atmosphere was quite enigmatic.
Finally, Feng Jing broke the silence, "Today, we both advanced. We should go back and celebrate; Caixin has also reached Qi Refining Peak, it’s delightful and deserving of celebration."
"It’s Qi Refining First Layer Peak," Zhang Caixin rolled her eyes, then looked at Feng Jun again, "Will you come?"
"As long as things don’t stop progressing, I’ll definitely go," Feng Jun smiled, then waved at them, "However, I’ll go over there first to set things up, so next time, the pressure will be much less."
After saying that, he took out a Spirit Stone in his left hand and started absorbing energy.
Now he was very accustomed to using Spirit Stones to replenish energy points. The pain and discomfort were within bearable limits, but once he started refilling, there was still some negative reaction.
As he absorbed the energy of the Spirit Stone, he grimaced at the three women, baring his teeth as he spoke, "Not leaving yet? Waiting to see me make a fool of myself? Hurry up, hurry up, I don’t want you to see me looking less handsome than usual..."
The three women were all cultivators who had been initiated, and naturally could feel the spiritual energy from the Spirit Stone rapidly dissipating. Seeing him force himself to remain calm, an overwhelming sense of compassion welled up within them.
Zhang Caixin couldn’t help but speak up, "Is it very uncomfortable? What are you doing, do you need help?"
In the time it took for those two sentences, just ten seconds, a Spirit Stone had already been completely absorbed, changing from bright red to gray-white, crumbling to the ground in powder.
Feng Jun took out another Spirit Stone, continued absorbing, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up... Right, remember to keep the Spirit Stones I gave you safe, don’t let these things spread across Earth."
Zhang Caixin nodded decisively, "Don’t worry, I won’t waste any... unless I die."
Feng Jun had left them a hundred Spirit Stones, allowing them to buy things at the Fang Market, and they had already spent thirty stones or so. The remaining sixty were all managed by Zhang Caixin, which is why she spoke so.
Of course, this was the collective wealth of the three, and she was merely speaking on their behalf.
The second Spirit Stone was also completely absorbed, Feng Jun took out another Spirit Stone, "Mainly, be cautious of Chen Shengwang and Shen Qingyi, and of course, be wary of the official government’s forces... I say, why are you not leaving, insist on watching me make a fool of myself?"
The three women couldn’t help but give some more reminders before leaving, and Feng Jun was already on his fifth Spirit Stone.
They kept looking back as they walked away, and after taking about a hundred steps, Feng Jing couldn’t resist muttering, "Cai Xin, what’s he doing, why does it seem so painful?"
She thought Zhang Caixin was a "Great Cultivator" in Qi Refinement, maybe capable of understanding this.
Zhang Caixin’s expression was peculiar as she glanced back and muttered under her breath, "I don’t know either, but... I have a feeling that we can cultivate happily because it’s built upon his silent sacrifices."
"That is indisputable," Feng Jing replied naturally. Although she was quite laissez-faire, she was also very sentimental, "Without his sacrifices, what would give us happiness... Do you know the Nobel Prize?"
Zhang Caixin rolled her eyes, feeling somewhat annoyed, "Never heard of it."
Feng Jing ignored her whimsical temper, "How many people pursue Nobel Prize winners? Let’s not say how many Nobel Prize winners there are in the world. How many people like Feng Jun? Not many."
"World-class," Sister Hong understood her meaning and readily stated, "No matter the industry, being the world’s best in anything is impressive, even if polishing toenails to global perfection is extraordinary."
"Therefore," Feng Jing looked back again, speaking meaningfully, "Cai Xin, we all know you have great talent, but does Elder Feng really have poorer talent than you? To let us cultivate in peace, how much hardship has he endured behind the scenes, do you... know?"
Zhang Caixin was silent for a while before nodding, "Thank you, Sister Mei... I didn’t mean to deny his efforts, but your reminder makes me grateful indeed, it seems I have overlooked some things."
Sister Hong knew Feng Jing was helping her wake her sister, but her attention remained on Feng Jun, "This fellow... absorbed more than twenty Spirit Stones in five minutes, what is he trying to do?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
Twenty Spirit Stones in five minutes, over two hundred in an hour, five thousand in a day and night.
This level of consumption is enough to rent a Golden Core Cave Mansion—and more than enough.
What is Feng Jun doing? He’s striving to replenish energy points, having finished treating Kong Ziyi, now no longer needing to control his energy points, his next target is potentially defeating a remnant soul at the Divine Spirit Stage.
A cultivator at the Divine Spirit Stage is truly terrifying, Feng Jun isn’t sure if he can use Weimian’s Force to obliterate such a fearsome entity—even if it’s just a remnant soul.
Of course, objectively speaking, Nascent Soul, Emergence, and Divine Spirit are all on the same cultivation level. Truly reaching Fusion Stage is genuinely at the union level, where ordinary Weimian’s Force can’t resist.
Feng Jun internally acknowledges that theoretically, he could wipe out this Yin Spirit, but it’s purely theoretical; whether it’s actual is unknown.
Regardless, he must safeguard the Earth Plane; no one demands it of him, but like Hua Hua feeling obligated to resist alien invasion, he takes it upon himself.
This pertains to sentiment, but exactly how much energy should be accumulated is practical.
Unfortunately, Feng Jun himself doesn’t know how many energy points are enough, so he can only absorb like crazy.
The Earth Realm’s first firewall, I take full responsibility.
He absorbed a whopping five hundred Spirit Stones until the Stone Ring on his hand turned from orange to purple-black, feeling unable to absorb more, he took out his mobile phone and tapped the screen.
Next came another scene from Thunder Plain; the Yin Spirit seemed not to notice his tiny gesture.
Then, instead of returning to his quarters, he went to the Thunder Cultivators’ gathering point to test various lightning strike data.
Two days later, he returned to his quarters where the Yin Spirit directly asked, "How come you returned alone?"
