Ch218 - Well of Enlightenment

Edited by Zaki

Ten years later,

After ten years in the Medicinal Pool area, Liu Mufeng finally successfully advanced to the Spiritual Emperor Realm and became a three-star cultivator of the Spiritual Emperor Realm. Jiang Xu’s strength has also improved from three stars to five stars in the Spiritual Emperor Realm. And because they soaked in the Precipitation Pool, both his and Liu Mufeng’s strengths had become very stable.

Xiaoyue has been soaking in the Medicinal Pool for several years with its owner, and its originally unstable strength has become much more stable. Xiaoyuan, its sixteen Princes, and the group of Spirit Insects had also improved their strength a lot because of their soaking in the Medicine Pool. Xiaoyuan’s strength has risen to nine stars in the Spiritual King Realm, and the strength of other princes has also risen a lot. Jiang Xu’s contracted beast, Xiaolan, had also advanced to the eight-star Spiritual King Realm.

Leaving the Medicinal Pool area, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu to the Well of Enlightenment area. Arriving at the door, Jiang Xu’s mouth twitched wildly when he heard the price was five million spirit stones per person. He couldn’t help thinking, ‘This is more expensive than the Medicinal Pool Area.’

Liu Mufeng didn’t have any entanglement. He directly handed over 10 million spirit stones and walked into the door with Jiang Xu.

He walked into the courtyard and looked at the identical wells in the yard. Jiang Xu was stunned for a while, then turned his head to look at his lover beside him. “Senior Brother, which one should we choose from so many wells?” There were a lot of people coming and going here, so Jiang Xu didn’t dare to call Liu Mufeng’s name, so he addressed him as Senior Brother. Anyway, in the sect, this kind of appellation was the most common.

Hearing this address of Senior Brother, Liu Mufeng was overjoyed. “Little Junior Brother, you don’t know anything about this. Listen to Senior Brother tell you slowly. This place used to be in a secret realm. Later, because the spiritual energy had gradually depleted, it became an ordinary area. There are a total of 999 wells. Once upon a time, together with many small blessings, people could be sent to various places. Later, due to the lack of spiritual energy, these wells could no longer transmit people. However, some cultivators discovered their other functions, that is to spy on the Will of Heavens. These wells are some blessing wells left by ancient times, so each well is more or less adhered to some natural laws, and we are here to spy on those natural laws.”

“Oh, is that so? Then, how do you choose?” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding. He thought to himself:‘Mufeng knows a lot, and can understand the situation of these wells so thoroughly.’

“There is no rule. Which Well you choose depends on your personal chance. However, before you choose, you must see the light in the well. If the light is red, don’t jump in. Because the red light means that someone has entered that Well and you won’t be able to get in, as the Well of Enlightenment can only accommodate one person at a time.” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng explained.

“Then, how do you come up after you jump down? You won’t be trapped inside after you jump down, right?” Jiang Xu was a little worried about this.

“No, there is no such possibility. Everyone can stay in the Well only for thirty years. Once the thirty years are up, you will naturally be teleported out. Even if you want to stay longer, it is impossible.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng smiled.

“Thirty, thirty yearsah, so longah?” Blinking his eyes, Jiang Xu felt that the time was a bit long.

“Oh, I see, I will cherish these thirty years then.”

“Yes, cherish these 30 years. After entering the Well of Enlightenment, you must feel everything around you without any distractions, and have a good epiphany.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng warned carefully.

“En, I know Senior Brother.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“Okay, you choose first. After you choose, I will choose.” Liu Mufeng said warmly.

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu looked around and saw that all the Wells were the same length, so he didn’t care too much, he just chose a Well that had no one and jumped down.

Seeing that his lover had chosen, Liu Mufeng also chose a Well and jumped into it.

Liu Mufeng felt that he had flown for a long time before he reached the bottom of the well. His eyes seemed to be immersed in the dark night, unable to see anything. Only a patch of darkness could be seen around him. Sitting down cross-legged, Liu Mufeng slowly closed his eyes, began to let go of his thoughts, and carefully felt everything around him.

In the distance, there were the sounds of demon beasts growling and humans shouting and killing. Gradually, a lot of blurry images appeared in front of him. It was a scene of a battlefield. There were human races, demon beast races, demonic races with black cloaks, ghost races with transparent bodies, and many strange monsters, some tall and fierce, some petite and cute, and some ugly.

The voices in the images were very noisy, the screams of the human race, the roars of the demon beasts, and the sounds of other races shouting and rushing to kill. Every race in the images was fighting hard. The scene was unusually bloody, and also unusually chaotic…

At the beginning, Jiang Xu thought that 30 years would be a very long time, but when he was teleported out from his well, he realized that 30 years of meditation was really a very, very short time.

Not long after, Liu Mufeng was also teleported out.

“Senior Brother.” Seeing his man, Jiang Xu greeted him with a smile.

Seeing that his wife’s strength had advanced from five-star to the eight-star Spirit Emperor Realm, Liu Mufeng was overjoyed. “Not bad, little Junior Brother, you have advanced by three stars at one go.”

“En, it’s just that the time is too short, otherwise I could have advanced my strength again.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu smiled wryly. Before he entered the Well of Enlightenment, he thought that thirty years was a long time, but now that he was out, he realized that thirty years was just a flick of a finger.

“You, didn’t you say that thirty years was a long time?” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly.

“I didn’t expect the time to fly so fast.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu smiled.

“Let’s leave this area, let’s go to Gravity Mountain to stabilize our strength.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu left together.

“Senior Brother, what did you see in the Well?” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“It was an ancient battlefield. A battlefield full of slaughter and blood.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng sighed. His wife had advanced three stars in 30 years, but he had only advanced by one star, and now only had a cultivation of four stars at the Spiritual Emperor Realm, being left behind by his wife by four small realmsah!

“Battlefield? What I saw was the starry sky, the sky full of stars. I was comprehending the power of those profound stars, and just when I had figured it out a little bit, I was transported out.” Jiang Xu felt depressed when he said this.

“Fool, the power of the stars belongs to the mysterious intent of the laws of heaven and earth. It is already a great fortune for you to be able to comprehend a hint of it. You still want to comprehend as much as you can? How is that possible?” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Oh, that’s true.” Nodding his head, Jiang Xu knew that he was lucky to have understood even a little bit, because he heard that several cultivators who had been teleported out of the Well of Enlightenment, were complaining about spending five million in vain. They had spent the 5 million spirit stones and had not comprehended anything and even their strength had not improved. Even his husband’s strength had improved by one star only. Jiang Xu immediately understood that he should be considered a very lucky person in the Well of Enlightenment area to have improved his strength by three stars.

After leaving the Well of Enlightenment area, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu went to Gravity Mountain for ten years. After they stabilized their strength, Liu Mufeng went to the Spiritual Cultivation Tower for five years, and Jiang Xu went to the Sword Intent Pagoda for five years. After that, the two went to the Puppet Cave together for five years.

Putting it all together, it had been 65 years since Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu sneaked out of Pill Peak. In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Xu had been in seclusion for 70 years, and Liu Mufeng had been in seclusion for 65 years.

After thinking about it, as there were no more places to go in the Sect, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu went directly back to Pill Peak. After returning to Pill Peak, Jiang Xu directly suppressed his strength of his eight-star to three-star Spiritual Emperor Realm, and Liu Mufeng also directly suppressed his four-star strength to one-star in the Spiritual Emperor Realm.

Looking at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu who walked into the Palace together. Xuanyuan Chen, Jiang Yuantu and Shen Xin were all shocked.

“Paying respect to Master, Uncle, Senior Sister.” Looking at his Master, Jiang Xu said with a smile.

“Paying respect to Sect Master, Master and Mistress.” Bowing his head, Liu Mufeng also saluted immediately.

“You are out?! You’re good! Seventy years and you’re out of seclusion? I was talking to Yuantu about whether you would have to wait another thirty years to come out of seclusion. I didn’t expect you to be out in 70 years. The advancement was successful, and you actually reached three-star in the Spiritual Emperor Realm, not bad, not bad! As expected of this Xuanyuan Chen’s apprentice.” To be honest, Xuanyuan Chen was a little overjoyed. He didn’t expect that his little apprentice’s cultivation talent was so good that he could successfully advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm after only 70 years of seclusion. He had really found a treasure.

“Not bad, to have advanced to the Spiritual Emperor Realm after sixty-five years of seclusion!” Seeing his apprentice, the Third Elder was also very happy.

“Che, my apprentice is three-star in the Spiritual Emperor Realm, and your apprentice is one-star in the Spiritual Emperor Realm, how can you compare?!” Xuanyuan Chen said with a smug expression after glancing at the Third Elder.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. He thought to himself:Does this kind of thing need to be compared?

“They are husbands, and there is no need to care about who is higher and who is lower.” The Third Elder also felt that there was no need to compare.
