That was indeed the case. The Longevity Tower had been constantly absorbing power from the space around it and Tian Yun and Liu Feng had noticed that as well. Not only did they not suspect a thing, they instead grew happy.

As time went by, Chen Feng then simply made use of a portion of the Longevity Tower’s power to devour the magnetic forces outside. As for Tian Yun and Liu Feng, they merely checked the Longevity Tower for a moment before turning their attention elsewhere.

The two of them were hoping that the Longevity Tower could grow even stronger. After absorbing a high amount of the magnetic forces, the Longevity Tower might be able to turn the situation around for them.

And so, the Longevity Tower kept on devouring the magnetic forces outside while Tian Yun and the others searched for a way out. Inside the tower, Chen Feng would either utilize the magnetic forces to cultivate himself or improve his magic treasures.

The other Yao Immortals and Ascendant Immortals inside the Longevity Tower had originally been looking at Chen Feng idly. However, as time went by, they could not hold back as well. Thus, they would either cultivate themselves or analyse the magnetic forces absorbed into the Longevity Tower to increase their understanding of that power.

Weng! Weng! Weng!

It did not take long before a series of rumbling sounds rang out from Chen Feng’s body. Surprisingly, the Magnetic acupoints within his feet had expanded in size. Additionally, even the magic treasures placed inside were showing signs of levelling up.

By then, the weakest amongst all the magic treasures inside Chen Feng’s body was already a top-grade Sacred artifact. Another breakthrough would allow them to become Dao artifacts. This was a great hurdle. Making their way through this hurdle would allow them to step into a whole new world, comparable to a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate [1].

In Chen Feng’s opinion, having these magic treasures level up to the Dao tier was not that difficult. He only needed some time. Originally, Chen Feng had only wanted to test to see if it was possible. Unexpectedly, after absorbing a certain amount of the magnetic forces, some of his magic treasures actually began transforming.

Weng! Weng!

Inside the Magnetic acupoints, the Lightstream Shield and Overwhelming Astral Sword were the first two to transform. Strands of the grand dao of magnetism began taking form. Seeing that, Chen Feng’s eyes lit up and he rapidly focused on them, putting a great deal of effort on refining them again and again. He even split out a portion of his soulflame to help with the refining efforts.

Finally, the two Sacred artifacts levelled up to the Dao tier.

The moment it happened, Chen Feng’s body swelled somewhat only to quickly recover. Power circulated within his body to continuously grow stronger.

The change in Chen Feng’s body caught everyone’s attention. Everyone except Bi Qing were surprised to see that.

The secret techniques recorded within the Longevity Scripture is truly good. Given how this kid could cultivate his magic treasures up one by one, he can be considered as a man of fortitude. Additionally, he also has the Longevity Tower. His future will be immeasurable. Looks like my divination back then is accurate, Bi Qing thought.

After the two Sacred artifacts advanced to the Dao tier, Chen Feng suppressed them inside his insight acupoints. This was not yet the time to be undergoing Heavenly Tribulation. Although his strength had grown, Chen Feng was still not satisfied. On the contrary, the rate at which he was absorbing the magnetic forces rose higher and higher.

Weng! Weng!

Two more magic treasures levelled up to the Dao tier. They were none other than the Sacred Voidsoul Sword and the Four-sided Spirit Mace. Truth be told, these two magic treasures had a very solid foundation. Only, they were not amongst the earliest magic treasures that Chen Feng had refined. Thus, he had been stockpiling their power before having them unleash it. Due to that, the moment these two magic treasures reached the Dao tier, the amount of power they displayed exceeded that of the Lightstream Shield and Overwhelming Astral Sword.

Following that, the Void and Actual acupoints within Chen Feng’s body began churning. Focusing, Chen Feng was able to grasp the auras of two grand dao. The grand dao of the void and the grand dao of the actual.

Unlike how the other cultivators would sense and cultivate grand dao powers, Chen Feng had actually comprehended several grand dao powers at the same time. Naturally, nearly all of them were sealed within the magic treasures, leaving only a little bit of imprints behind.

Those were all minor dao powers in Chen Feng’s opinion. What he wanted to cultivate was the grand dao of longevity.

“Unexpectedly, these magnetic forces could bring about such an effect. I have never encountered such a situation before,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

Chen Feng fell deep into a state of cultivation and a wave of energy fluctuations descended to envelop Chen Feng. Due to that, the flow of time within that area changed.

Chen Feng had utilized the Longevity Tower’s power to increase the flow of time by 100 times.

One day outside meant 100 days of cultivation for Chen Feng.

“The laws of time!”

Heavenly Premier Absolute and Patriarch Heavenly Sword exclaimed. Although the two of them had already begun making contact with the dao of spacetime, their ability to sense and understand that was terribly low. It may be the same path, but different people would have different accomplishments in terms of how far they could walk along this path.

The Longevity Tower’s action was a simple one, adding time. However, the way it applied the laws of spacetime was enough to give them strokes of inspiration.

Heavenly Premier Absolute and Patriarch Heavenly Sword thus entered a state of epiphany.

“Their ability to comprehend is quite high. If they ascend to the Immortal Plane, it should not be difficult for them to become powerhouses,” Bi Qing said with a chuckle.

After Chen Feng had concluded his cultivation session, he saw that Heavenly Premier Absolute and Patriarch Heavenly Sword were still immersed in their own cultivation sessions. It seemed it would take some time before they were done.

Originally, I invited these two fellows to help me out, but there had been no need for them to take action so far. First, they obtained my immortal techniques. And now, they obtained this benefit. I wonder, will they prove useful later? Chen Feng revealed a wry smile.

After ending the cultivation session, Chen Feng no longer had any Sacred artifacts within him. The weakest magic treasure within him was now a Dao artifact. Chen Feng’s body contained tens of Dao artifacts now. Naturally, if he were to add the Longevity weapons into the mix, that number would rise even further.

Following the improvements in his magic treasures, Chen Feng’s fleshly body became terrifyingly strong. It was as though his body was forged from magic treasures. Naturally, the thing that delighted Chen Feng the most was the change to his insight acupoints.

Every one of the insight acupoints had become like a small space. Thanks to the unrelenting efforts from Chen Feng, he could finally store items inside his insight acupoints.

This meant that every insight acupoint was now like a spatial pouch. However, there was still a need for Chen Feng to slowly figure out the profundity of the insight acupoints.

There were so many Dao artifacts inside Chen Feng, who was only a Human Immortal. If news of this were to spread, who knows how many jaws would drop from shock. Additionally, Chen Feng was also in possession of Immortal artifacts and even a Divine artifact.

After concluding his cultivation session, Chen Feng forcibly suppressed the energy fluctuations coming from his body. At any rate, his strength had grown too quickly. Next, he utilized the Longevity Tower to inspect what was happening outside. What he saw caused him to reflexively laugh out.

“Worthy of the title Ascendant Immortals. They could actually withstand the feelings of solitude and continue to look for a way out all this time. The way I see it, even if they have to search for 100 years, they will not feel bored.”

One day, as Chen Feng was observing them, Tian Yun suddenly dashed backwards. Next, bloody light burst out from his chest as a crack appeared there. It was possible to even see his heart through the wound.

Next, though, immortal energy surged forth and the wound on Tian Yun’s chest disappeared.

“What happened?” The others cried out in shock.

Although they had been trapped here with no way out for quite some time, they had also not encountered any dangers.

Chi! Chi!

Two soft sounds rang out and Nameless Brahma and Ascendant Immortal Max Yang were attacked as well. As Nameless Brahma was faster to react, he only suffered from a crack on his back. Ascendant Immortal Max Yang, on the other hand, was not so fortunate. The attack severed one of his hands.

An Ascendant Immortal’s arm was not something that just anything could sever or even damage. However, the surging magnetic forces actually managed to sever and obliterate Ascendant Immortal Max Yang’s arm, leaving not a drop of blood essence behind.

Boom!

Instantly, the semi-transparent silhouettes of Immortal artifacts appeared over the bodies of all the Ascendant Immortals there. There was even the power of Divine artifacts mixed in.

They had been too careless just now. Thus, they had not been able to utilize this power to defend themselves in time.

Tian Yun and Liu Feng were encased by the semi-transparent silhouette of the Longevity Tower.

“Concentrated magnetic forces capable of slicing through everything.”

“Someone is secretly attacking us.”

“Not necessarily. It could simply be by chance.”

Next up, they encountered more of the invisible magnetic attacks. This time, however, they had already prepared themselves for it. Thus, they were not terribly wounded. Only, the magnetic forces grew stronger and stronger. While they were not fearful of the magnetic forces, the blades formed from the magnetic forces were terrifying. These formidable magnetic attacks could even easily slice apart a planet.

Taking several of the magnetic attacks was quite tough. Although they did manage to block the attacks, the need to constantly block the attacks was gradually sapping away their strength.

Tian Yun and Liu Feng promptly entered the Longevity Tower. They relied on the Longevity Tower’s body – the body of a Divine artifact – to block the attacks. Even if the attacks were a hundred times stronger, they would still be incapable of making their way through the Longevity Tower.

“I have a plan,” Tian Yun suddenly said.

“What?”

“Borrow the help of the Longevity Tower to link up to the Celestial Longevity Plane. By doing so, I believe we should be able to leave this place.”

“Didn’t we already do that earlier?”

“That’s because we are not exerting complete control over the Longevity Tower. This is a Divine artifact. We have yet to unleash its true power. The way I see it, it should have no problems getting out from this place.”

“That makes sense. We can give it a shot.”

As Tian Yun and Liu Feng were about to take action, Chen Feng suddenly appeared before them both, a smile on his face. Seeing that, both Tian Yun and Liu Feng became startled.

“Young Clan Lord, it’s you!” The expression on their faces flickered for a moment before they stepped forward to salute Chen Feng.

“Ha ha ha! You two didn’t think you would see me here, did you?” Chen Feng said with a smile, a very harmless-looking smile.

“Yes, we had assumed that…”

“Assumed that I am dead, or close to dying. At any rate, without the Longevity Tower, I am just a minor and dispensable character, no?” Chen Feng’s face suddenly turned dark.

“How could we? Young Clan Lord, you are overthinking it.” There was a somewhat contorted look on Tian Yun’s face.

“I hope so.” The expression on Chen Feng’s face turned normal again.

Pondering for a moment, Tian Yun then asked, “I wonder, how did Young Clan Lord appear here?”

“It’s very simple. The Longevity Tower is my magic treasure. Isn’t it only right that I can enter it?” Chen Feng replied nonchalantly.

“So, it’s because of that.” Tian Yun and Liu Feng exchanged glances and a savage grin appeared on their faces.

“If that’s the case, then you should die!” Both of them attacked Chen Feng at the same time.

“As I had expected.” In the face of their attacks, Chen Feng merely took one step back. Next, two sword beams, one cyan and one white, shot forward from behind Chen Feng to stop the attacks from Tian Yun and Liu Feng.

A wooden staff then swept forward to knock Tian Yun and Liu Feng back.

“Oh, no! This is an ambush!” Tian Yun and Liu Feng were quick to react. Knowing that they had entered a trap, they were quick to retreat as they attempted to rush out from the Longevity Tower.

Boom!

Two energy waves descended to smash them down. This was the Longevity Tower’s power.
