I think I understand something now. After revealing a wry smile, Chen Feng recollected himself.

Still, an increase in strength is a good thing, considering the circumstances. Sigh! If only I had known, I would have just utilized my magic treasures to bash the monkey to death.

Saying all that is useless now. What’s done is done. I’ll just have to figure out how to deal with whatever happens in the future.

Although Chen Feng’s strength had skyrocketed, he simply revealed a wry smile. That said, he was quite the open-minded fellow and he was able to quickly recollect himself.

Generally speaking, for something like this to happen, it would mean that the person was favoured by the world. Chen Feng, however, believed that he was not such a person. Even if he was, it should not be Domain World. The other possibility was that the person in question was utilizing a Heavenstealing Technique to steal the power of the world.

The fact that all those benefits were forcibly shoved down Chen Feng’s throat meant that Domain World had its own objectives for doing so.

A great increase in strength. Truly, a great increase. Chen Feng’s figure then flashed to re-appear before the Water Ape King. Next, he threw out a punch.

The fist brought with it the power of his Eight Trigram acupoints, creating a rumbling sound as it shot forward. It was as though an entire world was being compressed.

“Kid, you have a death wish! Just because you obtained the blessings of this world, you think that you are a match for me?” The Water Ape King was greatly infuriated. Although the earlier situation was incredibly peculiar, it was still very confident in its own strength.

It did not believe that this Human Immortal stage cultivator was a match for it, not even with the assistance of the world.

Boom!

The attacks from both sides collided and the Water Ape King was sent flying once more.

Chen Feng’s figure also tumbled back. Although he had unleashed some power through that earlier attack, even more power was surging out from his body. It gave him an unbearable feeling of suffocation.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

His heart thumped with ferocity, every heart beat generating a formidable power.

Woah!

The longevity-type primary energy flowed quickly, causing Chen Feng’s essence, energy and soul power to rise to a high level. As a result, the wounds on Chen Feng’s body rapidly healed up.

Suddenly, Chen Feng’s domain shrank as all of its power converged upon his fist before he punched again. This punch was not aimed at the Water Ape King. Instead, it shot towards the Water Ape King’s mount, the wyrm.

Bang!

The punch instantly blew up the wyrm’s massive head and a yao core, flashing with a watery light, flew out.

Boom!

Chen Feng’s figure leapt forward as the Longevity Wings flashed out from his back. Once again, he fired out another punch. This time, the punch was aimed at the Water Ape King.

His punch heavily struck the geocompass on the Water Ape King’s head.

The water ripples encasing the surface of the geocompass shook as it unravelled Chen Feng’s attack.

“Again!”

Borrowing the Domain Geocompass’ power, Chen Feng unleashed yet another punch. Without waiting to see the result of his punch, he continued punching yet again, unleashing a total of ten punches in a row.

Blood began spraying out from the pores on the Water Ape King’s body. However, it did fight back. The sword in its hand swung to fire tens of sword attacks only to be stopped by Chen Feng’s Domain Geocompass.

“Looks like your geocompass is no match for my geocompass,” Chen Feng said, his Domain Geocompass rotating slowly before creating another small world, which pressed down against the Water Ape King.

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

The geocompass on top of the Water Ape King’s head began cracking and its whole body shook. Even the sword in its hand was wailing. Knowing that it would be incapable of holding on, it said nothing else and dived into the ocean.

Boom!

The Domain Geocompass bombarded the ocean and the ocean area within a radius of 500 kilometres sank as a result. The barrier that the Water Ape King set up promptly burst apart and ocean waters roiled about. This move from Chen Feng killed countless water yaos.

Chen Feng was aware that the Water Ape King was still alive, but he did not give chase. He had no intentions of killing it. Instead, his figure flashed forward. With the Domain Geocompass hovering above him, he quickly flew away, using only a short time to cover a distance of 5,000 kilometres.

Having witnessed how the Water Ape King was forced to flee for its life, the other water yaos that were lurking around dared not take action against Chen Feng. They simply watched as Chen Feng left.

Naturally, the other cultivators who were on the colossal ship were not as lucky.

Finally, Chen Feng found a small island and stopped there. However, Sun Ming and his companions had yet to recover from their state of shock. Chen Feng was becoming even more mysterious to them. He felt like an exalted, ethereal and unfathomable existence to them.

All four of them understood what it meant to receive the world’s favour. Thus, they were all very envious. They were envious of both Chen Feng’s strength and luck.

“What is it? Are your injuries completely healed already?” Chen Feng said coolly. By then, the Domain Geocompass had already shrank and was resting on Chen Feng’s hand. It looked just like a toy. However, the four of them knew that it was in fact a mid-grade Dao artefact. A simple wave of its aura was enough to kill them all.

A Dao artefact, how enviable!

“Thank you, Brother Chen for the assistance.” Sun Ming was the first to recover.

“It’s nothing. You fellows take care of your injuries first. Next up, I will be sending you fellows to Glazed Island. I believe you fellows will be able to figure a way to return.”

“Thank you, Brother Chen.” As they had witnessed Chen Feng’s prowess, it was only natural for them to want to follow Chen Feng. However, they were also aware that it was impossible.

Two days later, Sun Ming and the others fully recovered. With that, Chen Feng then brought them with him as he moved forward.

Ten days later, after having gone through a series of battles, they finally arrived at Glazed Island.

“Everyone, may we meet again.” Chen Feng bade them farewell before disappearing into the ocean waves.

Sun Ming’s team of four watched Chen Feng’s disappearing back. It took a long time before they finally recollected themselves.

“A mighty force like Artefact Sect is truly full of talents.”

“Yes. I wonder who is stronger, Chen Feng or Immortal Pining Butterfly?”

“You mean Immortal Pining Butterfly from the Holyland?”

“Of course!”

“Immortal Pining Butterfly is very strong. She is said to be one of the very best amongst the younger generations. However, I think she is probably still no match for Chen Feng.”

“That’s right. He is someone who has the favour of the will of the world. His future accomplishments will be immeasurable. Breaking through to the Ascendant Immortal stage and ascending to the Immortal Plane is just a matter of time for him.”

“I wonder if we’ll be able to meet again in the future?”

“Hard to say. We are not on the same level as him, after all. Enough! Stop talking about this. Since we have arrived at Glazed Island, we should hurry up and find the things we need. In order to return, we’ll have to wait for a ship to pass by.”

…

Chen Feng, who was already 5,000 kilometres away, was unaware of the words exchanged between them.

He flew freely up in the sky, but the destructive lightning powers up in the sky were not attacking him.

He knew what this meant. It was due to the interference from the will of Domain World.

This is all right. That was all Chen Feng could say to himself.

The biggest threat to appear so far were the water yaos from the depths of the ocean. On his way forward, Chen Feng did encounter some highly formidable water yaos. In the end, he had killed off some of them. That said, he did occasionally find himself in dangerous situations and was forced to utilize the Domain Geocompass to defeat his enemies.

The farther he advanced into the ocean region, the more dangerous it became. Despite the protection of his magic treasures, Chen Feng felt as though facing a Heavenly Tribulation was better than heading into the far reaches of the ocean.

After half a month’s time, he finally found the first clue related to the Divine Domain Fountain.

It was a nameless island.

It was also the place that Jiang Huo and Ye Lin had once visited.

To think that those two would be able to reach this place. They really are lucky. Chen Feng smiled as his divine sense quickly enveloped the entire island. It did not take long before he found something.

Sou!

Chen Feng’s figure dashed forward to quickly reach a fountain gushing out at the centre of the island. It was a very small fountain and the fountain water there was very limited. However, when Chen Feng saw it, he revealed a look of delight.

Woah! Woah!

The fountain water from the fountain fell upon Chen Feng’s hand and he began analysing it. Soon enough, Chen Feng was able to determine that the fountain water contained some Divine Domain Fountain water.

Of course, the Divine Domain Fountain water there was very diluted and sparse. Cultivators with lesser divine senses would be incapable of detecting it.

According to Chen Feng’s analysis, there was less than a drop of Divine Domain Fountain water within the fountain water there.

Still, now that he had this clue, he should be able to find the Divine Domain Fountain by searching carefully.

Chen Feng’s divine sense spread out again to scan the entire island, moving under the island and into the ocean.

After some time, Chen Feng opened his eyes, the smile on his face growing.

As expected, this fountain is just a miniscule stream coming from the Divine Domain Fountain. No, it cannot even be considered that. Jiang Huo and Ye Lin accidentally came across this fountain and considered it to be a great secret. Still, those two sure can hold back. They wanted to come search for the Divine Domain Fountain after they have reached the Earthen Immortal stage. In the end, however, the secret fell into my hands.

If so, no matter how dangerous it may be, I must find this Divine Domain Fountain. I would like to see for myself just how miraculous this divine fountain is.

Chen Feng did not instantly move out. Instead, he released his aura. Surprisingly, he had decided to undergo his tribulation on the island.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

As Chen Feng unfurled his power, tribulation clouds began gathering from every direction to quickly fill up the entire sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Winds blew and the clouds roiled. It caused quite the stir. A Heavenly might capable of sending shivers down one’s heart enveloped the world.

Normally, Chen Feng would’ve had to face the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation before successfully advancing to the next cultivation level.

However, things were different this time. After forming, the tribulation clouds instantly dissipated. Next, a formidable will of the world, immortal dao laws and purified power of Heavenly Tribulation surged into Chen Feng’s body.

Once again, a wry smile appeared on Chen Feng’s face.

He had successfully overcome his Heavenly Tribulation to become a high-level Human Immortal just like that.

If others were to notice this, they would surely be shocked to the point of losing their jaws.

From what Chen Feng could remember, there were indeed such Heaven-defying existences. These characters received the favour of the world and were able to cultivate and overcome tribulation as easily as drinking water. Their path of cultivation was always smooth and their cultivation base would keep on rising. Chen Feng had never expected such a thing to happen to himself.

However, this situation came with its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of this was that one’s rate of cultivation would be very fast. On the other hand, it would also bring about the disadvantages of an unstable foundation. Should trouble finally come for them, with a state of mind that had yet to undergo a tempering process, those characters would have a hard time in the future.

At any rate, the will of the world cannot take care of one forever.
