The two of them found a deep mountain forest nearby. After Jiang Cheng sat down cross-legged, he finally felt the power of the Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body.
Before he started circulating his cultivation technique, spiritual energy automatically flowed into his body.
This was not a forbidden land without spiritual energy, and it was evident how effective the Three Realms' number one cultivation physique was.
Even without a cultivation technique, the constant nourishment from spiritual energy would gradually make the body stronger over time.
When he began circulating the Moon Observation Heart Method of the Extreme Moon Sect, Ji Linghan could no longer absorb even a tiny bit of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy within several tens of miles seemed to form a vortex, with Jiang Cheng at its center.
Spiritual energy frantically rushed into his body, causing strong winds to rise in the surrounding mountains and forests.
The most terrifying aspect of the Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body was not its massive absorption, but its conversion speed.
Speaking of absorbing spiritual energy, some Saint Heirs of the Great Sect Sacred Lands have been consuming spirit stone elixirs like meals since birth.
But when too much spiritual energy is absorbed and cannot be refined into their own spiritual power in a short time, it naturally cannot quickly enhance their strength.
This is why the talent of physique, bloodline, roots, and bones are important.
The Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body seemed to have no such problems; it converted spiritual energy into spiritual power with almost no obstruction, refining as much as it took in.
Ji Linghan was dumbfounded by this scene.
She herself was a cultivation genius, and when she could absorb the spiritual energy within a few miles during cultivation, it was already considered miraculous.
But not only was Jiang Cheng's range ten times larger, but his means of seizing spiritual energy could be considered plundering; not even a sip was left for those around.
This method of cultivation was like endlessly grabbing top-grade spirit stones for absorption, one could imagine how fast it would be.
The Sect Leader truly is a divine being!
When Jiang Cheng stopped cultivating, his realm had advanced from Soul Splitting Third Layer to Fourth Layer.
"Sect Leader, have you finished cultivating?"
It was only then that Jiang Cheng realized he had just prevented her from cultivating.
Thinking of how this girl had been silently acting as his protector all along, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.
He always considered her as a tool, which seemed too much.
"I'm sorry. I'll be more considerate when I cultivate in the future."
Ji Linghan hurriedly waved her hand and smiled, "It's no problem. The Sect Leader getting stronger is a blessing for the sect!"
What a kind person!
Jiang Cheng stood up, looked at the sky, and realized it was past midnight, so it was already the next day.
"Let's go to the Feixian Sect."
With his resurrection cooldown ended, he was now full of confidence.
"Ah? Isn't the Sect Leader planning to scout ahead first?"
Ji Linghan hastily followed him.
Jiang Cheng solemnly said, "I just broke through, my power has greatly increased, so no need to scout, we'll just charge directly!"
Ji Linghan didn't understand what "charge" meant, but when she heard that his power had greatly increased, she immediately felt happy.
She asked joyfully, "I wonder what realm the Sect Leader has broken through to?"
"Higher than you can imagine!"
"Ah!"
Ji Linghan couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock and admiration; she was thinking of the Celestial Fate Realm.
The two of them were just rising into the air when there were rustling sounds in the nearby forest.
Then, three young men and women in ragged clothes emerged from behind the trees.
Upon seeing Ji Linghan, they quickly waved to her.
"It's Senior Sister Ji! Everyone, come out quickly!"
Ji Linghan was also overjoyed and rushed to meet them.
"Junior Brother Luo Yuan, Junior Sister Yin Xuer, Junior Brother Jiang Hong, you're all still alive, that's great!"
Subsequently, more than twenty remaining disciples of the Feixian Sect appeared one after another from the distant forest.
The two sides met and embraced each other while crying, making it an emotional scene.
Jiang Cheng, standing aside, was left with nothing to do, feeling a bit bored.
"Nephew Ji, have you seen any other disciples?"
This group had exceptional talent and were all true disciples of the Feixian Sect.
When wiped out, the elders of the sect had risked their lives to send them out, serving as seeds for revenge and reconstruction.
Apart from the twenty-one disciples, one Elder Liang had also narrowly escaped death, becoming their pillar of hope.
They were being hunted down and now could only hide in the remote mountains and forests.
After the joy of reunion faded, Ji Linghan shook her head dejectedly.
"Reporting to Master Liang, I have not seen anyone else. How about you? Have any other senior uncles, senior aunts, junior brothers, or junior sisters made it out?"
Elder Liang gave a bitter smile, "It seems the Feixian Sect is left with only us, these twenty some saplings."
"Damn the Extreme Moon Sect!"
"And the Profound Ice Sect, Five Thunders Sect, Celestial Flame Sect!"
Junior Brother Luo Yuan flicked his spirit sword, speaking with determination.
"Before my master fell, he passed his Jiu Jue Sword to me. If I cannot bathe it in the blood of those four great sects, wouldn't I be failing it!"
Meanwhile, Yin Xuer gazed at the ring on her finger, tears streaming down.
"This is the spirit stones and pills that my master left for me when she sent me out. Once I reach the Soul Splitting Realm, I will definitely avenge the old master!"
Seeing these mementos, other disciples also made solemn vows.
"Master Liang, Senior Sister Ji, where should we go next?"
"The first step is to break through and escape!"
"After getting out, should we stay together or separate and seek other sects?"
"What, are you planning to betray the Feixian Sect?"
"I am not! I just want to cultivate to a higher realm; I will never forget to avenge the sect!"
The disciples each expressed their views, engaging in heated discussions.
Elder Liang glanced at their storage rings, spirit swords, and spirit armors, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes.
Although he was an elder, all these individuals were true disciples before.
When their masters risked everything to send them out, they gave them almost all their possessions to enable them to continue cultivating.
Just like Ji Linghan, not only did she wear a defensive Fifth Grade Spiritual Artifact, but the resources stored inside were also all the previous Sect Leader's savings.
This ring was something Elder Liang had never dared dream of before.
"Quiet, everyone!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him.
After all, he was the only remaining elder, so they had to listen to him.
"If you want revenge, you don't have to wait. You can do it right now!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples all stood up, becoming eager and anxious.
"Does Master Liang have a method?"
Even in its prime, the Feixian Sect might not have been a match for the Extreme Moon Sect alone, let alone with their current young generation not yet fully grown.
Revenge was something they all hoped to accomplish in the future.
"As long as I can avenge my master, I am willing to do anything!"
Elder Liang smiled and motioned for everyone to calm down.
"Revenge cannot be achieved by our strength alone!"
Luo Yuan frowned and said, "Is Master Liang suggesting we seek help from other sects?"
Elder Liang stroked his beard and nodded, "Exactly!"
"But we don't have deep connections with other sects, and they probably won't help us."
These disciples, although eager for revenge, were still clear-headed.
To become a true disciple, one couldn't be dim-witted.
