Chapter 303: Fang Mu Breaks Through

When Chu Feng saw the two young girls reveal such astonished expressions, he waved his hand and placed a protective barrier around Fang Mu, shielding him from disturbances while safeguarding his breakthrough.

“What’s the matter with you two?”

Bai Qian stammered, “Master… is little junior brother really going to live a new life?”

“No,”

Chu Feng smiled and explained, “Strictly speaking, Xiao Mu has comprehended the divine ability of Undying and Indestructible, Rebirth from a Drop of Blood.”

Hiss—

The three girls beside him instinctively gasped.

Such a divine ability—Undying and Indestructible, Rebirth from a Drop of Blood—was the dream of all cultivators. And now, someone had comprehended it right before their eyes.

Bai Qian said, “Then doesn’t that mean Brother Fang is invincible?”

Chu Feng smiled and replied, “Whether he’s powerful still depends on his strength. Undying and Indestructible simply means no one can truly kill him.”

“I really envy junior brother.”

Chen Qianqian looked utterly envious.

Chu Feng laughed, “No need to envy Xiao Mu. Once your cultivation reaches the peak, you’ll be no weaker than him.”

“Mm.”

Chen Qianqian nodded with determination, silently firming her resolve to cultivate even more diligently.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. Fang Mu had recovered from his withered state and returned to the appearance of a youthful boy.

The aura around him surged, and before long, he broke through the shackles of the True Fate Realm.

Boom!

A powerful force erupted from his body. Fang Mu had directly stepped into the True Fate Realm.

Inside Chu Feng’s mind, the system notification sounded.

“Congratulations to the host. Your disciple has broken through the True Fate Realm, awakened the Indestructible Divine Body, and comprehended the Indestructible True Intent. Rewarding the host with twenty years of cultivation, Indestructible Divine Body achieved perfection, Indestructible True Intent achieved perfection.”

Previously, on the journey here, Chu Feng had already received a notification. Fang Mu had comprehended the Undying and Indestructible divine ability. The advantage of this ability was that as long as a single drop of blood or a trace of divine thought remained, one could be reborn from nirvana.

However, before this divine ability reached full perfection, the practitioner still faced the risk of being truly destroyed.

If faced with an overwhelmingly powerful opponent capable of annihilating that single drop of true blood even from hundreds of thousands of miles away, then it would be the end.

Even so, for a True Fate cultivator to comprehend such a divine ability—this was truly unprecedented.

Thinking of this, a smile curled at Chu Feng’s lips, and he even forgot about the heavenly phenomenon that Fang Mu had triggered.

The students of Wendao Academy stared in various expressions at the strange phenomenon above Miao Miao Mountain. Some newly arrived disciples couldn’t help but cry out in astonishment.

“What’s happening over at the Miscellaneous Dao Institute? How could such a heavenly phenomenon appear?”

Veteran students of the academy patted them on the shoulders and said, “Don’t act like you’ve never seen anything. That’s probably because Junior Brother Fang from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute has awakened his divine body.”

New disciples: (´⊙ω⊙`)!

“Senior brother, you’re not trying to fool me, are you?”

The older disciple replied, “Why would I lie? We’ve seen this sort of thing before. We’re disciples of the Holy Land—don’t act like you’ve never seen the world.”

As he spoke, the senior disciple grew more and more excited, completely forgetting how astonished he had been the first time he saw such a phenomenon at the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

Equally astonished were the nine Chiefs from the Sacred Institute.

Upon seeing this scene, their first reaction was to summon their trusted aides.

Inside the Heavenly Spirit Institute, Lin Ming said, “Elder Hong, accompany me to investigate which disciple has awakened a divine body. We’ll recruit them into the Heavenly Spirit Institute. With my guidance, they’re sure to become a Saint in the future.”

Elder Hong paused for a moment, then said, “Chief, if I’m not mistaken, it should be Fang Mu from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute who has awakened the divine body.”

“???”

Lin Ming stared at Elder Hong with a confused expression. “Are you certain?”

Elder Hong replied, “I'm sure. That phenomenon originated from Miao Miao Mountain. I imagine Chief wouldn’t want to compete with Chief Chu over a disciple, would he?”

Lin Ming: “…”

He really wanted to say, It’s fine if you know such things, but why say it out loud? Saying it like that makes me lose face.

But in the end, all those words turned into a single response.

“I understand. Inform the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Institute that I will be holding two lectures each month.”

“Chief, wise decision.”

Elder Hong, of course, knew that Chief Lin was holding back a belly full of frustration, eager to cultivate a disciple with an awakened divine body.

Still, compared to Xiao Feng, this one was far behind.

At the mention of Chu Feng, the wine craving in Elder Hong’s belly began to stir. It was the perfect opportunity to go and enjoy a drink.

Lin Ming had no idea that his trusted aide was already mentally drifting toward the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

If he knew, he would undoubtedly be fuming with anger.

The other eight Chiefs had also received word from their own aides about what had occurred at the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

They made the same decision as Lin Ming. After all, they were once the favored prodigies of the Sacred Institute—they couldn’t allow themselves to be overshadowed at every turn.

By dusk.

Fang Mu finally completed his breakthrough. When he opened his eyes, he saw his master, master's wife, and his two senior sisters all standing in the cave.

He immediately rose and bowed respectfully. “Thank you, Master, Master's wife, and senior sisters, for protecting me.”

Chu Feng smiled and said, “No need for such formality between us. How do you feel now?”

Fang Mu responded seriously, “Master, this disciple has a question.”

“Speak.”

Chu Feng was fond of such humble and inquisitive disciples.

Fang Mu slowly asked, “Though I have comprehended the Indestructible True Intent, I don’t know how to apply it in combat.”

Chu Feng showed a thoughtful expression and began pacing slowly inside the cave. After seven steps, he came to a stop.

“You could try reversing the Indestructible True Intent.”

“Ah?”

Fang Mu looked bewildered. He hadn’t expected his master to offer such a suggestion.

“Master, is that something I’m capable of doing?”

Chu Feng replied calmly, “How would you know you can’t do it without trying? Of course, if you don’t wish to spend your life fighting and killing, you could continue refining your alchemy skills. You don’t need to answer me now. Decide once you’ve truly thought it through.”

Fang Mu nodded. “I will consider it seriously.”

“Alright, let’s set this aside for now. Let's return and celebrate. It’s been a long time since the Miscellaneous Dao Institute had such a lively occasion.”

With that, Chu Feng led everyone out of the cave.

By the time they returned to the Chief’s private courtyard, a crowd had already gathered.

Without exception, all were elders and stewards close to Chu Feng.

Great Sage Jinchi was boasting to the group. When they saw Chu Feng arrive, everyone stood and saluted.

“We greet Chief Chu, Elder Bing.”

Chu Feng clasped his hands and responded, “No need for such formalities, colleagues. I was busy protecting my disciple earlier—please forgive the lack of hospitality. Today, I’m in a good mood. Let’s enjoy a drink together.”

“Agreed!”

The elders and stewards responded enthusiastically, each presenting a gift to Fang Mu.

Soon, the Chief’s private courtyard was bustling with joy and celebration.
