Chapter 29

Feng Ye calculated with his fingers and sighed, "Another clan elder has passed away, but at least it was a natural death, which is not bad. Still, another familiar face is gone."

This path to immortality is ultimately lonely! With a melancholic heart, Feng Ye returned to the cave. After meeting with Yuan Kui and the others, he composed himself. The Sui bird suddenly flew to Feng Kui's head and pecked him a few times. Feng Ye's heart skipped a beat.

It's him! With a quick turn of his mind, Feng Ye said to Feng Kui, "Just now, I calculated with my fingers and found out that one of my old friends in the Sui Ren tribe has just passed away. You should go and pay your respects for me."

Feng Ye then looked at the Sui bird on Feng Kui's head and said, "This bird has a connection with you. Take it with you! Remember to return early, as I need to test you and your brother's studies!"

After Feng Ye finished speaking, Feng Kui bowed and left.

When the teacher has a task, the disciple serves. This is a fine tradition in the primordial era, and it is highly favored by Feng Ye, who is lazy. However, don't think the disciples are at a disadvantage. Consider that as a disciple, all their cultivation techniques come from their teacher. Even their destiny is linked to the teacher. More importantly, in this dangerous primordial era, it is only because of the teacher's protection that the disciples can survive.

Feng Ye watched Feng Kui's back and began to ponder. He didn't expect Feng Kui to be the reincarnation of the Sui Emperor. But can he truly cultivate the path to immortality? It's hard to ensure that he won't form attachments and obsessions due to the tribe's people, just like I did, and end up being reborn as a human, thus destroying his cultivation.

I am determined to complete my vow and return to the path of immortality, but can he do the same? He might spend his entire life for the human race.

Feng Ye glanced at Feng Zhong. Although he is not the reincarnation of the Sui Emperor, his potential is also good. Perhaps he will inherit my teachings in the future.

Feng Ye's expression softened, and he called Feng Zhong forward, examining his cultivation. "Not bad, your visualization practice is quite good, and your true essence and magical power are also substantial. In a few years, you can try to form your innate true talisman."

After dismissing Feng Zhong, Feng Ye and Yuan Kui went to the back of the mountain. Feng Ye took out the Sui wood branch and planted it at a spiritual eye on the back of the mountain. As a先天灵根 (先天灵根 means "innate spiritual root," but it's a specific term in Chinese mythology, so I'll keep it as "innate spiritual root" for accuracy), it took root in Sui Mountain in just a moment and began to absorb the mountain's spiritual energy.

Yuan Kui estimated, "Brother Dao, if it continues at this rate, Sui Mountain might not be able to support the growth of this innate spiritual root!"

"That's why we need to use jade talismans to form a great spirit-gathering array around the entire Sui Mountain, with the Sui wood as the array eye, to gather the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth. This will also benefit our cultivation by leveraging the Sui wood's ability to return to its innate state!"

"By the way, how is the mystic jujube doing? Has it sprouted yet?" After a while, he asked.

"It has indeed sprouted, fortunately, it doesn't absorb much spiritual energy now, otherwise, it would be a tragedy!"

"Once the Sui wood stabilizes, we can place the mystic jujube next to it. Both are fire attributes, so it might even promote the growth of the mystic jujube!"

After Feng Kui returned, Feng Ye checked his cultivation status, encouraged him, and let him go.

Feng Ye kept the Sui bird and took it to the back of the mountain, showing it his new residence. He also asked about Feng Kui's return to the tribe. Since the Sui bird doesn't understand human affairs, its perspective is more objective.

After letting the Sui bird familiarize itself with its new home, Feng Ye began to ponder. According to the Sui bird, Feng Kui is quite sympathetic to the current state of the human race and is thinking about improving their lives. Well, let him go. As a teacher, I just need to guide him from behind. What else can I do? And I'm not without feelings for the human race, but there are some things that I, as a穿越者 (穿越者 means "time traveler," but in this context, it's more like "a person from another world," so I'll translate it as "outsider"), can't do.

After thinking about it, Feng Ye and Yuan Kui began to set up the spirit-gathering array on Sui Mountain. This array not only gathers spiritual energy but also has defensive and offensive capabilities, serving as a mountain protection array.

Three years passed, and the Sui wood had taken root in Sui Mountain, beginning to refine the innate spiritual energy for Feng Ye and Yuan Kui's cultivation.

One day, Feng Ye was discussing the name of the cave with Yuan Kui.

"Brother Dao, we are cultivating on Sui Mountain, and we have even set up the mountain protection array. But our cave doesn't even have a name, which is unacceptable!"

"It's just the two of us, and it's too early to name it!" To be honest, Feng Ye was just too lazy to think of a name. "Although we have established a lineage, they haven't even formed their true talismans, let alone become immortals. Isn't it too early to think about these things? We might move away someday!"

"Nonsense! We have just planted the Sui wood, and the mystic jujube is growing well. The array has just been set up. How can you talk about moving away now? Everything will just benefit future generations!"

As they were arguing, a beam of spiritual light shot out from Feng Zhong's cultivation room. Feng Ye sensed it, calculated with his fingers, and couldn't help but be delighted, "I didn't expect Feng Zhong to take the lead!"

Yuan Kui frowned, "I don't know what Feng Kui is thinking, running to the tribe every day, delaying his cultivation, and letting his brother form his innate true talisman first!"

"Never mind, that's Feng Kui's path, and we can't say anything about it! Now that Feng Zhong has formed his innate true talisman, we should give him a gift. And his tribulation is coming soon, so we need to help him guard against it."

After all, a disciple with a teacher is a treasure. With a teacher's guidance, cultivation is naturally easier.

Yuan Kui waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that for now. Brother Dao, since Feng Zhong has formed his true talisman, he is now a cultivator. The lineage has a preliminary successor, so we should name the cave. Otherwise, when Feng Zhong goes out to train and reports his sect, it won't look good, right?"

"Fine, if you want to think of a name, go ahead! I don't have the time for it."

Yuan Kui pondered for a moment and saw the Sui Ren lamp in the cave, emitting a red glow, illuminating the cave.

In this era, except for the innate great beings who have their own luminous abilities, people generally prepare some lighting methods, such as lamps or night pearls, to prevent poor visibility at night.

And in a cave like the one Feng Ye lives in, it can't be illuminated even during the day. Feng Ye couldn't find any natural luminous objects like night pearls, so he used the Sui Ren lamp to light the cave, serving as a cave treasure and stabilizing the local destiny.

The Sui Ren lamp made the cave look like a sea of fire clouds floating around. Yuan Kui had an idea, "Let's call it Fire Cloud Cave!"

Fire—Cloud—Cave! A bolt of lightning struck Feng Ye's ear. Fire Cloud Cave, what place is that? The cultivation site of the Three Sovereigns in the future? It comes from here? Because of the Sui Ren lamp?

Calm down, calm down, maybe it's just a coincidence, Feng Ye consoled himself. But the seed of doubt had already been planted.

"What do you think, Brother Dao?" Yuan Kui asked, seeing Feng Ye's surprised face.

"Hehe! Nothing, just that the name is quite profound, really good!" Feng Ye gritted his teeth.

"Of course! Who else but me could come up with such a name!"

Not just anyone, but a narcissist, of course. Feng Ye wouldn't say that to himself, as Yuan Kui's temper is not easy to deal with.

"Brother, let's think about what we should give Feng Zhong!" Feng Ye changed the subject.
