Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 490: Arrangements, And Entering The Heaven Connecting Tower (Part 1)

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Purple moonlight cascaded down across the land, and numerous streams of purple stellar energy seeped into Bei Feng’s body. A cool and icy feeling spreaded through him, causing his cells to grow stronger.

“What favorable natural conditions. The Heaven Earth Lingqi is dense, and even the moonlight contains a strange energy.”

Bei Feng sighed with amazement. Although basking in this moonlight a few times wouldn’t result in any significant effects, if absorbed over an extensive period of, say, decades, even the most ordinary people who could not cultivate would have greatly strengthened bodies!

“Father.”

“Grandpa!”

As soon as he stepped into the dining room, over 10 people stood up excitedly and called out to him.

“Haha, alright, everyone sit down and eat.”

Bei Feng nodded with a light smile and assumed his seat at the head of the table.

The dishes on the table was extremely sumptious, and most of them were Demonic Beasts’ meat at the third layer of the Hundred Year realm. There was even fourth layer Demonic Beasts’ meat available.

Apart from the sounds of chewing and swallowing, there were no other sounds from the table. The previous owner of this body had set a rule that no one should talk during meals.

Bei Feng ate at a measured speed, and only ate the third layer Demonic Beasts meat. The fourth layer Demonic Beasts meat was still too powerful for his body to handle for now.

These Demonic Beasts’ meat had been obtained from hunting teams, who’d obtained it from the Heaven Connecting Tower. The prices of the meat were not low, and just the food on this table, if placed in an inn or a restaurant, would cost upwards of 10,000 HCD!

The purchasing power of money was still very strong, and 10,000 dollars could allow an ordinary family of three to live comfortably for several years.

The local Demonic Beasts on Tianmu Planet had all been classified as protected animals and a huge region had been drawn up to protect them, which meant that hunters could only hunt those inside the Heaven Connecting Towers.

After eating, Bei Feng thought for a moment and announced, “From tomorrow onwards, all matters of the company will be handed to my first and second son to handle. As for you, Lu Huang, until you stop being such a good for nothing bum and disappointing me, you will only get to enjoy the company’s dividends. You will not get a say in any of the other matters of the corporation.”

Now that he’d completely taking over Lu Qintian’s memories, he naturally understood the characters of his sons.

Lu Liang had a steady and calm character, and he did things in a measured way without panic. Lu Baiyu was more brash and clever, and tended to be more on the scheming side. With one more reserved and one aggressive, the two’s characters and management styles just so happened to complement each other.

As for Lu Huang, Bei Feng was completely speechless with regards to him. This rascal was a typical silkpants young master. From young, he’d gotten into more trouble than could be counted. For this little troublemaker, he would just let him live on the dividends and grow old with that.

“Father, you’re now even fitter and more vigorous, and under your lead, the corporation will surely improve another level.”

“That’s right, Father, Big Brother and I are still not ready!”

“Father! No matter what, Lu Huang is still your son, surely you can’t be so biased! If first and second brothers are going to be in charge of the company, Lu Huang should at least be placed as a manager or something.”

Bei Feng snorted coldly and said, “Shut your mouth, when is your turn to meddle in my Lu Family’s affairs? Don’t think that I’ve really grown muddled over the years. Do you think that I wouldn’t know how much benefits you’ve siphoned behind my back to your family?”

His words did not conceal anything as he stared fiercely at Zhu Mei, causing the latter to break out in cold sweat.

“Father...”

Bei Feng harrmphed in an exasperated tone, and stated directly, “Don’t say anything. I’m extremely disappointed in you. Since you’ve chosen to be a useless silkpants, then you should act like one! Don’t think about fighting for power. But if you really don’t want to continue like this, then go and start working in the company from the bottom level and rise up! Remember that your surname is Lu, not Zhu!”

Everyone fell silent, like a bunch of cicadas in the dead of the winter. Nobody had expected that the old master would suddenly erupt so suddenly with rage. And this demeanor was much fiercer than before!

“I understand, Father.”

Lu Huang lowered his head sadly. Never had he thought that the father who doted on him so much would scold him so furiously.

Bei Feng turned his face away from Lu Huang and said huffily, “Alright, you may go back first. Tell me your decision after you’ve thought through it; do not disappoint me.”

“Father, isn’t it too harsh to treat Third Brother like this...?” Lu Liang asked apprehensively.

“I’ve doted on him too much in the past. Since he was lacking in both learning and practical ability, it’s still not a problem to raise an idle person given the power and fortune of our Lu Family. But if he wants to hold power, then he needs to display some proper capabilities, and not end up a wastrel losing all the fortune that I’ve accumulated!”

This was actually what the original Lu Qintian had felt as well. Bei Feng only spoke it in a more direct manner.

Bei Feng looked towards Lu Qilin and commanded harshly, “Qilin, your talent is not bad, but you’re too relaxed and lazy. From today onwards, until you break through to the third layer of the Hundred Year realm, you’re barred from going outside to fool around.”

“Ah?”

Lu Qilin eyes grew wide with shock. He’d just been laughing about the plight of his third uncle a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, the fire had burned to his doorstep already. In that moment, he could only nod dumbly.

Lu Qintian’s authority in the family was absolute. The decisions he made very rarely changed, so Lu Qilin did not dare to protest at all.

“Ai, I finally understand now that authority and wealth really mean nothing compared to lifespan. I’m a person that’d barely bypassed the gates of hell. Now, I finally understood that everything boils down to strength. Strength also equals to lifespan and wealth,” Bei Feng suddenly said with a sigh.

“Father, you’ve just broken through a short moment ago, and there’s still a lot of time. I’m sure you’ll be able to cultivate to a higher realm!”

Everyone immediately poured their support for him. However, none of them felt good about his chances deep in their hearts. Perhaps this time could be considered a lucky breakthrough, but who knew about the next time?

“I’ve decided. Next month, I’ll be inviting the martial experts that the corporation had hired to follow me into the Heaven Connecting Tower to look for our own opportunities,” Bei Feng announced casually. However, his words were like a heavy bombshell for the crowd!

“Father! You can’t, the Heaven Connecting Tower is too dangerous! It’s still fine to let our experts go in, but how could you risk yurself like that!?”

“Exactly, Grandpa, we will definitely cultivate well and find a Nature Fruit for you.”

Everyone was extremely flustered at this point as they hurriedly advised him to change his mind.

What kind of joke was this? The old man had only managed to hold on to his life by the skin of his teeth, barely breaking through at the last second. However, now that the danger was over, he wanted to go running into the Heaven Connecting Tower? Did he feel that his life was too long and wanted to die?

Lu Qintian had never entered the Heaven Connecting Tower in his life. Not to mention a dangerous place like the Heaven Connecting Tower; he’d never even fought anyone before! Even if there were skilled experts to protect him, such a venture was still too dangerous.

Every year, countless people entered the Heaven Connecting Towers and never came out. Apart from very few Heaven Connecting Towers whose internal worlds had been controlled and developed, most of the other Heaven Connecting Towers were still incomparably dangerous and wild.

“I’ve made my decision; there’s no need to talk about this anymore.”

Bei Feng furrowed his brows and directly turned around and left.

The others were left staring at each other speechlessly. Looks like the old man had been shocked insane by his near-death experience.

Everyone felt extremely exasperated. At this point, they could only do their best to accomodate him. But nobody knew what they would meet inside the Heaven Connecting Tower, and even if they made the best preperations possible, there was still a very large possibility to end up completely wiped out.

“Father has changed quite drastically this time after waking up.”

“En, he’d become more domineering now; but, since father has decided on entering the Heaven Connecting Tower, let’s go back to the company and choose some loyal candidates.”

Lu Liang and Lu Baiyu discussed seriously with their heads aching. For an old man who only managed to break through to the second layer at almost 100 years old, what was all this sudden talk...

Bei Feng could not be bothered about what these people thought. Without further thought, he returned to his own room. Lighting a stick of fragrant candle, he sat down cross-legged and shut his eyes.

Thick smoke rose up from the candle, but it wasn’t irritating to the nose at all. Instead, the smell caused one’s mental power to feel extremely comfortable. It also had an effect on helping one’s blood and Qi to circulate more smoothly.

This candle was made from a special spirit herb that came from the Heaven Connecting Tower. It took a hundred years to produce, and each one was worth 10,000 HCD. It was extremely useful for for cultivation.

Bei Feng sank into a meditative state. He cleared himself of all emotions, and his blood and Qi revolved by itself.

His powerful heart thumped strongy, and each pump pushed large amounts of blood around his body. At the same time, every strand of Qi that flowed into his heart would grow less by a bit. However, his blood and Qi grew purer.

The martial legacy in this world had a long history, and many positive points could be taken from it. It did not distinguish between Qi and blood, and directly merged them together. The explosive strength of this energy was much greater than just purely Qi refining or body refining, rising by over 30 percent!

Although 30 percent did not seem like much, it had an effect similar to suppressing all other cultivators of the same realm. Furthermore, the speed at which such a cultivator regenerated their energy was much faster than normal cultivators’ by a large portion.

This was also why Bei Feng had chosen to continue using this world’s cultivation method. Although he was only at the second layer of the Hundred Year realm, even third layer cultivators would not be his match!

After all, Bei Feng still had three Third Stage Star Gods on his soul, and each one of them was no weaker than the third layer Hundred Year realm cultivators in this world!

At this time, within his soul, a stellar acupoint shone with a faint light. In the outside world, numerous strands of Extreme Yin stellar energy flowed into his stellar acupoint.

In just a short while, the Extreme Yin Star God was already full. Atop the Star God’s crown, a finger-sized strand of purple energy appeared and slithered like a small snake into his body.

This trace of stellar energy seemed to have been purified by the Star God, and it stabbed forcefully into Bei Feng’s body like a sharp needle.

The body that was in the metamorphosis stage began to swallow this energy ravenously; the cells began to crystallize, fill up with energy, and then split into new cells.

The purple energy did not let off his bones as well as it swam through his skeleton, finally disappearing into his marrow.

Bei Feng first felt a bone-piercing pain, followed by an icy chill and a numbness that felt like he was being electrocuted. After that, a searing heat emanated from inside his bones as if his bone marrow was on fire!

Huge drops of sweat appeared on Bei Feng’s face, dripping down from his chin. If he took off his shirt now, one would see that his spine protuded from his back! His skin was also hot enough to fry shrimps on it!

This was Bei Feng’s attempt to reforge his bone marrow, and improve his blood production ability. At this moment, his spine was raised up like the head of a dragon, savage as it could be.

The entire backbone was pressed against his skin, and intense heat rose from it.

Bei Feng’s expression did not change. This kind of pain was nothing compared to the cutting of his soul, and it was not enough to cause him to flinch.

Fresh blood flowed out of the pores of his skin, and the Demonic Beasts meat that he’d just eaten was put to work as his body grew stronger at an extremely rapid speed.

At the end of the day, he had indeed broken through at a very old age. Although he’d managed to break through in the end, and the thick medicinal Qi as well as Heaven Earth Lingqi together with the gray mist had allowed him to reform his body, it was still just an empty shell at the end of the day. Right now, Bei Feng was beginning to nourish this empty shell back to a strong state.
