Chapter 7: Bound to Earth, Everyone Cultivates Immortality!
The Big Dipper, the Eastern Wilderness, the Heavenly Court.
The majestic palace floated in the sky, surrounded by endless chaotic energy and primordial energy, with countless rays of light and auspicious colors.
This is the Daoist temple of Jiang Feng, the current Heavenly Emperor, who rules over all heavens and is revered by all races.
Deep within the Central Heavenly Palace, Jiang Feng stood with his hands behind his back beside the Star Gazing Platform.
He was still wearing that dark black imperial robe with purple accents, his figure was upright, and his eyes were deep, as if they could see through the ancient starry river.
Below, amidst the swirling clouds and mist, one can see undulating immortal mountains, flowing spiritual springs, and countless powerful auras lurking within.
Further away, from the directions of various forbidden zones, faint, unsettling fluctuations emanated, like a sleeping behemoth turning over.
"Your Majesty," a divine general shrouded in divine light respectfully reported, "Recently, there have been unusual movements in places such as the Undying Mountain, the Primordial Ancient Mine, and the Sea of Reincarnation. Dark energy has been leaking out from time to time. It is feared that some supreme beings are no longer willing to sleep and wish to wait for the path to immortality to open so that they can carry out acts of extermination."
Jiang Feng remained calm, merely nodding slightly: "I understand. Strengthen patrols, but refrain from proactive attacks. If they dare to emerge, simply execute them."
His tone was calm and even, yet it carried an absolute confidence that looked down upon the world and held the power of life and death in his hands.
"Yes!" The god accepted the order, bowed, and withdrew.
Several holy maidens from the sacred land, each with stunning beauty and a unique temperament, stood by and carefully offered the celestial wine and spiritual fruit.
They were once the most dazzling pearls of their respective holy lands, but now they are willing to serve as maids in the Heavenly Court, just to get close to this one and only emperor of the world and hear even a trace of the Dao.
Jiang Feng waved his hand, signaling them to leave as well.
He was the only one left in the main hall.
He walked to the throne, but did not sit down. Instead, he activated the system panel that had accompanied him through his journey and helped him reach the pinnacle.
Compared to ten thousand years ago, the panel is now very different, more ancient and profound, flowing with the rhythm of time and space.
At the very top are several lines of clear text:
[Host: Jiang Feng]
[Realm: Great Emperor (Heavenly Emperor Rank)]
[Remaining lifespan: 12473 years (estimated)]
[Currently accessible world: Blue Star (marked)]
[Blue Star Anchoring Status: Bound (Basic)]
[Binding Feedback: Enabled]
[Details: After binding to Blue Star, you can share the total cultivation improvement of the bound person in this world (currently the only one: Jiang Yu), which will be proportionally fed back to the host, while also slightly increasing the host's lifespan (based on the overall improvement of the bound person's life level).]
[Currently available extractable/feedback power: Extremely small amount (early stage of the Bitter Sea Realm)]
[Added lifespan: Approximately 1.2 calendar days (Blue Star time)]
[Next active teleport cooldown: 6 days, 23 hours, and 58 minutes later (approximately 7 days in Earth time)]
A clear ripple finally appeared in Jiang Feng's calm and unwavering eyes.
I'm back. I really can go back. And it's not just about going back.
"Sharing cultivation...increases lifespan..."
He muttered to himself, his fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest of the imperial throne.
His previous return was rushed; he only confirmed that he could return to Earth and that the difference in time flow was to his advantage, without carefully exploring all the functions of the upgraded system.
He calmed his mind and carefully sensed himself.
As the emperor of this era, he knew every bit of his own strength, every inch of his flesh and blood, and every wisp of his soul.
He quickly noticed the difference in that "tiny amount".
Indeed, a trace of extremely faint but strangely shaped "power" or "origin" appeared out of thin air in the depths of his imperial body and primordial spirit.
This power was very weak, like a drop in the ocean compared to his vast, star-like Emperor-level cultivation.
But it is indeed slowly and steadily increasing its total amount, although the increase is so small as to be almost negligible.
More importantly, lifespan.
The Great Emperor is said to enjoy a life of imperial destiny, which usually ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 years, depending on his state when he became emperor, the cultivation methods he practiced, and the divine medicines he took.
Jiang Feng used the "Heavenly Emperor Scripture" as a foundation, integrated all the Dao, and became the Heavenly Emperor. His lifespan was already longer than that of an ordinary Great Emperor.
But lifespan is ultimately finite. Without becoming an immortal, one will eventually turn to dust.
Throughout history, countless brilliant emperors and ancient sovereigns have fallen before the passage of time, ultimately either transforming into immortals or severing their own paths, falling into forbidden zones, and becoming dark sovereigns awaiting the path to immortality.
Every extra day lived means a greater hope, a greater possibility. Especially for a Heavenly Emperor like him, who aspires to become an immortal in the mortal world and sweep away all forbidden zones, lifespan is of paramount importance.
And this "binding feedback" can actually directly increase his lifespan!
Although it's only been a little over a day so far, it's a signal, an unprecedented approach!
"Xiao Yu... has already begun her cultivation and has successfully opened up the Sea of Bitterness."
Jiang Feng immediately understood the source of this feedback. Only when the cultivation level of the bound user on Blue Star increases could it bring about feedback. Currently, the only bound user is his sister, Jiang Yu.
"The feedback from the initial stage of the Bitter Sea Realm is that she loses one day of her lifespan... If she cultivates to a higher realm, if more people on Blue Star cultivate..."
A divine light gradually shone in Jiang Feng's eyes. This was far more significant than he had anticipated!
Not only can it protect his family and bring change to his hometown, but it is also an auxiliary path that may be related to his own path to becoming an emperor or even an immortal!
He had another thought and tried to communicate through the system with the jade slip he had left for Jiang Yu.
Thoughts are like pebbles thrown into water, creating ripples that transcend the barriers of endless time and space.
After a short wait, a response came from the jade slip. The connection seemed unstable, and Jiang Yu's voice was intermittent, with obvious panting and background noise: "Brother? Is that you? I... I had something to do here, I was just giving a statement..."
"A statement?" Jiang Feng frowned slightly. "What happened?"
Although he could sense that Jiang Yu seemed to be in good condition and had already entered the initial stage of cultivation, he did not know exactly what had happened.
"Oh, it's...it's that scammer from before, he called a car to try and run me over!"
Jiang Yu's voice rose slightly, as if they had moved to a quieter place; her tone still carried a lingering fear and excitement.
"Luckily, I tried practicing the technique you gave me right away, and it actually worked! I've escaped the sea of suffering! Brother, the technique you gave me is real! I really feel so much stronger. When that car crashed into me, I... I used my hand to block it. The front of the car was dented, but I'm fine! My arm is just a little red... That person seems... seems to be dead."
Jiang Yu spoke quickly, conveying a large amount of information, and her emotions were complex.
Jiang Feng listened quietly.
When the news of death came, the chill turned into calm.
The law of the jungle, the cycle of cause and effect—after ten thousand years on the Burial Emperor Star, he had long since become accustomed to life and death. Those who dared to kill his sister were simply dead.
