Chapter 947 - Chapter 947 Chapter 947 People from Mount Wangu

Chapter 947: Chapter 947 People from Mount Wangu Chapter 947: Chapter 947 People from Mount Wangu Gu Detection Compass? Feng Jun had never heard the term before, he blinked his eyes, “Such a thing actually exists?”

“Obtained from a Gu Cultivator,” Luo Shuchen pulled out a white tablet, marked with a Bagua pattern, “It can be activated with Spiritual Energy.”

“Eh?” Feng Jun was amazed, “Since such a thing exists, why did you need me to act previously when searching for that dead little Gu insect?”

Luo Shuchen weighed the tablet, about a foot in diameter, in his hand and spoke helplessly, “This thing is so big, and yet it is expected to survey an area of ten miles… It can only approximate the location, how could it be precise?”

Making the Gu Detection Compass was not an easy task; it was said to be a relic from ancient times and exceedingly precious among Gu Cultivators. It was a communal property at the Tianxin Platform, and only thanks to Master Busheng’s influence, was it available; otherwise, even those in the ascension stage wouldn’t easily get access to it.

Feng Jun was quite startled, and a thought crossed his mind–could there be a Spirit Stone Detection Compass?

Inside, he was shocked, but his face remained unexpressive, “Since you have this compass, you could have conducted the test yourself, why ask me?”

Luo Shuchen laughed heartily twice, “At Tianxin Platform, we handle matters transparently, everything is discussable. Even if we want to test, we need to inform Mr. Feng, lest it ruins the good relations between our two parties!”

Eh? This time, Feng Jun actually felt a bit of goodwill towards the Tianxin Platform, so he spoke without changing his expression, “Now that you have told me, I permit you to test… I, Feng, also bear responsibilities.”

However, as he said this, he already regretted it: he shouldn’t have mentioned that the Qingguang Gu insect had been eaten.

But by then, regretting was pointless; if discovered later, he could simply explain– “I remembered it wrong.”

Such conduct was somewhat rogue-like, yet in these times, those qualified to be rogues were invariably the heroes of the moment.

Those without skills yet wanting to act rogue should just wait to be squashed into nothingness–just look at the five great rogues of the Earth Realm to know.

Anyway, since the other party had clearly stated their intent to have the right to be informed, rather than reclaiming the Qingguang Qianguy, he was not afraid of their regrets– the people from Tiantong Commercial Alliance could confirm this.

In fact, Feng Jun regretted not having transferred the Qingguang Qianguy to the Earth Plane.

Luo Shuchen hesitated, then spoke hesitantly, “To do this… you will need to take them out of the Spirit Beast Bag.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun laughed heartily, “So, you still need my cooperation!”

Luo Shuchen, laughed at, was a bit annoyed and embarrassed, “I have never used the Gu Detection Compass before, Mr. Feng, do you not trust me?”

Feng Jun was already calm inside, so he smiled and responded, “Alright, I trust you. Should I go and get the Spirit Beast Bag now?”

Feng Jun’s Spirit Beast Bag, except when in use, was always entrusted to someone with good scene, as this plane was fraught with constant danger.

Although he now possessed some ability to protect himself, many emergencies happened irrationally and without warning.

If he carried the Spirit Beast Bag with him all the time, and should he need to suddenly exit the mobile phone plane, Hua Hua would probably cry herself to death.

Hence, he entrusted the Spirit Beast Bag to someone with good scene– it was safer on his own territory.

— In reality, this someone with good scene was a much smaller target than he was; Mount Zhige now hosted four ascension-level luminaries and more than ten Qi-Refining Practitioners. Who would bother a mere Mortal Transcendence Level Five? Mi Yunshan was Mortal Transcendence Level Six, and he was a bigger target.

In short, if they couldn’t deal with Feng Jun, an ascension-level luminary, there was no need to trouble a mere Mortal Transcendence Level Five.

This was the essence of being a “pillar”; if you can’t afford to provoke a Golden Core, then don’t mess with a Golden Core family.

“Let’s go together,” Huangfu Flawless spoke with a smile, “After that, we can come back here for a hearty drink. How does that sound to you, Mr. Luo?”

Luo Shuchen looked at Feng Jun and, seeing his “no-pressure” demeanor, felt a bit uneasy.

However, Tianxin Platform people were truly stubborn; not believing until seeing the coffin, he promptly nodded, “Alright, let’s go, and it’ll be great if Mr. Feng could open the Spirit Beast Bag on the spot.”

He wasn’t worried that Feng Jun might have two Spirit Beast Bags–if that were the case, he wouldn’t have asked to borrow one before.

If there were no Spirit Beast Bag to interfere, the scent of the Gu insects wouldn’t possibly escape detection.

Strictly speaking, there were ways to evade the test, more than one indeed, but those required careful and deliberate arrangements, and he didn’t think Feng Jun could manage that–he didn’t even own a Spirit Beast Bag.

The group set out straight away, riding horses to Feng Jun’s courtyard–ever since Feng Jun returned from Qiuchen Market, he had also imposed a no-fly rule, even Huangfu Flawless couldn’t flit about on her red flowers.

After entering the courtyard, Feng Jun called out to someone with good scene from behind the door, and then took the Spirit Beast Bag from her hands.

Before taking the Spirit Beast Bag, he embraced her waist for a moment. Others thought he was just being frivolous with his own Female Attendant; no one paid much attention– a slap on the buttocks was nothing compared to a hug.

Then Feng Jun handed the Spirit Beast Bag to Luo Shuchen, “Feel free, Mr. Luo Daoist. Remember to put it back after examining.”

Mr. Luo, of course, wanted to handle it personally; he meticulously inspected each Jade box inside, finally expressing surprise, “Seven little Gu insects are missing?”

Besides the Green Light Gu Insect, six smaller Gu insects also disappeared-in fact, they had just been taken back to the Earth Plane.

Feng Jun felt that missing just one Green Light Qianji Yue was not particularly scientific, so he simply left six more Gu insects there-details determine success or failure.

Hearing this, he smiled and nodded, “That’s right, since it’s an experiment, there must be a comparison.”

Luo Shuchen couldn’t possibly go to verify with Hua Hua, so after thinking for a moment, he asked, “Both the mother Gu and the two child Gus are present… why didn’t they devour them?”

Feng Junbai gave him a look and didn’t even bother to speak–was that something you should be asking?

However, it was Master Xu who spurred things on from the side, “Master Luo, quickly activate your Gu Detection Compass, and see if there are any Gu insects hiding nearby.”

This was the grievance of a Loose Cultivator against the Four Sects and Wutai, and although the relationship between Tiantong Commercial Alliance and Heavenly Heart Platform was relatively good, the Four Sects and Wutai were considered “institutional” forces of the Cultivation World. Although Tiantong was also not bad, Master Xu was just a Guest Elder, and inwardly he couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter.

Master Luo wanted to take it out too, but being pushed towards action this way made him a bit embarrassed–people from Heavenly Heart Platform were just called crazy, they weren’t actually crazy.

So after hesitating for a moment, he laughed heartily, “Haha, let’s go back and drink instead. I’ll find a Qi Refining Disciple to come here and just wander around nearby… Since Master Feng has rules, I won’t be bothersome.”

The Gu Detection Compass could test the Gu insect aura within ten miles, but the area of Mount Zhige was not just a little bit, although it wasn’t much bigger either. Since the action had already been taken, he simply instructed the disciple to walk around with the compass.

As for him? Not only was he an Ascendant Master who people should “not visit unless invited,” but he was also the highest-ranking cultivator on his side; it was not appropriate for him to enter the fray directly with his shirt off. If the disciples handling things encountered difficulties, he could still intervene and make amends.

Although Feng Jun was a bit annoyed that this fellow actually dared to look into the Spirit Beast Bag, on further thought, the Spirit Beast Bag was a gift from someone else after all. Receiving a person’s gift obliged compliance.

And honestly, he was indeed a bit impressed with how the people from Heavenly Heart Platform handled things; they really stopped at nothing to achieve their goals.

So he could only laugh, “I guess… you will be disappointed.”

Before even speaking of whether the people from Heavenly Heart Platform were disappointed, more than two thousand miles away on a Flying Boat in the sky, someone grunted, “Eh? It’s gone… The Gu King’s aura has disappeared.”

The Flying Boat was quite small and looked like an odd, wing-concealing insect flying very high. There were two people inside, both Ascendant Mid-Level cultivators. The two had the same faces and were held in a strange pose together–no helping it, space was too cramped.

Hearing that the Gu King’s aura had vanished displeased the other, “Can you be more attentive?”

“How the hell was I not being attentive?” The dissatisfied one retorted. “The aura disappeared, can you blame me?”

“Then let’s exit the Flying Boat and fly with our bodies, it’s hard to discern direction inside here.”

“Flying Boat is secret and direction-locked; once we get out, if we release our hands and can’t tell direction, what will we do?”

“How will we know if we pass the domain without getting out?”

These two were experts sent by Mount Wangu, Gu Cultivators generally found it hard to trust others. These Liao Family twins, though they bickered in the market, had a united heart on missions.

After arguing for a while, the brothers shrunk their bodies and slowly separated, discerned the direction, and then exited the Flying Boat.

They had a compass too, but could only roughly sense in which direction the aura of the near Gu King was located; it was difficult to judge the distance. From this, one could see that the Gu Detection Compass in the hands of Heavenly Heart Platform was truly exceptional.

Once out of the Flying Boat, their speed was much slower, but the brothers were able to endure hardship; after discerning the direction, they flew directly with their bodies.

By daytime, the two descended to the ground, randomly commandeered a horse and rode swiftly, still probing for news along the way.

Speaking of which, the distance was indeed too close, the brothers could endure hardship; with them riding horses during the day and flying at night, by midday of the fourth day, they heard that something unusual was happening in Zhige County not far ahead.

Later that night, the brothers continued to fly through the night sky, not flying far before they saw a brightly lit place.

Flying towards this direction for not too long, Second Liao spoke up, “Hold on, there’s a Spirit Gathering Array ahead.”

Being cultivators, they were always very sensitive to Spirit Gathering Arrays, especially so in this case.

The next moment, Elder Liao Brother spoke in a low voice, “Land… land, I’ve detected a Qi-Refining Practitioner.”

After the two brothers landed, they looked at each other, and Elder Liao Brother spoke, “It seems… the situation is a bit complicated.”

Second Liao wasn’t very concerned, “Just in Qi Refinement Realm. If we can coexist peacefully, that’s best; if not… are we afraid?”

Elder Liao Brother’s voice remained grave, “This is not the Cultivation World; if we can avoid fighting, it’s better not to fight.”

Engaging in battle in the Mortal Realm as Ascendant beings was highly taboo, especially upon encountering an opponent also in the Ascendant Realm, as it could easily escalate the situation. They were certainly set to confront Ascendant Feng Jun, but they did not know it yet.

However, the fact that they were unaware didn’t mean others were unaware.

Not far away in a thatched cottage, an old man suddenly sat up from his bed, furrowing his brow as he spoke, “An Ascendant’s… Divine Sense?”
