Chapter 1435: Cultivating A Hammers Immortality
Under Chi Li's attentive service, Lou Benwei immersed himself in song and dance for a long time, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being a handsome young man.
After experiencing all the variations, he finally clapped elegantly, satisfied, stood up, put away the long chair, and stretched comfortably.
"Ha..."
"Today, this scoundrel has enjoyed enough. We'll discuss more another day!"
Although it was just an offhand remark, Chi Li was greatly frightened.
She quickly stopped dancing, knelt down, and bowed, her eyes filled with panic.
"Please forgive me, my lord!"
"Allow this humble woman to perform another song and dance, surely it will satisfy my lord..."
As she spoke, Chi Li's voice grew softer, biting her red lips with difficulty.
Having witnessed Lou Benwei's earlier display of power, she could no longer gauge his strength, and her awe reached unprecedented heights, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
Her frightened expression looked pitiful, adding a touch of charm.
Despite her stunning beauty, Lou Benwei didn't pay much attention. Instead, he looked up at the sky.
"No need."
"Don't be so nervous. This scoundrel indeed has important matters to attend to."
He did have an appreciation for beauty, but he wouldn't forget important tasks for the sake of a lady. His brothers were busy in various realms, and he didn't know their progress, so he had to check on them.
With this thought, Lou Benwei embraced Chi Li, tore through the space before him with one hand, and disappeared into the ripples.
His profound cultivation was unmatched by any living being, and his ability to casually tear through space was unfathomable. Even though the starry sky was filled with streams of light returning to Yunxing, no one could sense any disturbance.
In just a few breaths, Lou Benwei had vanished into the depths of the universe.
Meanwhile, the countless streams of light drew closer to Yunxing, illuminating the entire sky as if it were daytime, even as night deepened.
In a secluded village, Yi Feng stood at the village entrance, gazing at the starry sky with a calm expression.
After many experiences, his perspective and understanding had improved significantly. He was now accustomed to various cultivator techniques, so he just stood there quietly, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
After delivering his message, he had nothing else to do and thought of this small village to spend a few quiet days, perhaps making some dragon beard noodles to change his taste.
Unexpectedly, all his old friends had disappeared.
Seeing the streams of light illuminating the night sky, Yi Feng guessed that the cultivators of Yunxing might be having some event, which was why his friends had left the village.
Before he could think further, several streams of light suddenly descended before him.
Recognizing the hearty laughter of Luo Hongfei and others, Yi Feng stepped forward to inquire.
"Old friends, what's got you so happy?"
Hearing his voice, everyone turned and saw Yi Feng, greeting him warmly with clasped fists, all speaking at once.
"So it's Brother Yi..."
"Brother Yi, where have you been lately? We haven't seen you around."
"Brother Yi, you missed an epic battle!"
Yi Feng grew even more curious and somewhat surprised.
"A battle?"
Seeing Yi Feng's puzzled look, they proudly explained everything.
"Indeed, it was a battle of unprecedented scale!"
"Elder Luo is right! We followed the Star Lord to the demon realm and fought the demons in a fierce battle!"
"Many great powers joined forces and finally annihilated the demons, ridding the entire galaxy of a great threat. It was exhilarating!"
"To witness such a battle and see the prowess of those great powers in our lifetime is truly an honor!"
"Too bad Brother Yi wasn't there to see those astonishing divine abilities!"
"Indeed! Even you, Brother Yi, would have been astounded by those great powers!"
...
The more they spoke, the more excited they became, their faces flushed.
After listening for a while, Yi Feng gradually understood.
"You annihilated the demons?"
"Not bad."
Hearing this, they grew even more excited, emphasizing the terror of the battle. However, Yi Feng didn't share their excitement and soon lost interest in hearing more.
Long Tian leading the charge to annihilate the demons and rid the galaxy of a threat was commendable for a Star Lord.
Overall, it was acceptable.
But...
With his level of skill, he managed to do that?
That was a bit surprising.
Could it be that the demons weren't that strong after all?
Others might not know Long Tian's cultivation level, but Yi Feng knew it well. With his mediocre skills, Yi Feng had easily defeated him before.
And yet, he managed to annihilate the demons.
Didn't that mean the demons would be no match for Yi Feng?
Yi Feng > Long Tian > Demons?
Based on the facts, it seemed logical.
So, they were just fighting a bunch of weaklings?
What was there to be excited about?
Thinking this, Yi Feng felt increasingly bored and uninterested in their excited recounting of the battle.
He strolled back to his small courtyard and sat quietly.
Yi Feng felt somewhat lonely, unable to share in everyone's joy, and various doubts surfaced in his mind.
If defeating the demons was considered an epic battle...
Then the cultivators of Yunxing must not be that impressive.
If that was the case, then he must be far stronger than anyone could imagine.
If so, what level of cultivation had he reached?
Various doubts filled his mind, leaving Yi Feng confused. He suddenly recalled the system's suicide mission and the task of finding his last disciple...
He began to doubt.
Was there still a need to complete these tasks now that he was so strong?
With his current strength, could he withstand the impending apocalyptic calamity?
Was the apocalyptic calamity really as terrifying as the system had described?
After pondering for a long time, Yi Feng still couldn't be sure. Just as he fell into silence, a wave of drowsiness hit him, and he couldn't help but yawn, then cursed in frustration.
"Ha..."
"Really, I'm done..."
"Any other cultivator can go without eating or sleeping, but I have to eat every day, and lately, I've been getting more and more tired. Yesterday, I slept until noon!"
"What the hell kind of immortality is this?!"
Complaining incessantly, Yi Feng cursed the system's entire family.
But with tears welling up and overwhelming fatigue, he couldn't hold on any longer. He stopped thinking and went inside to sleep, forced into a health-preserving mode.
He fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until well past noon the next day.
