Of course, this Jun Jiuyou, although he seems to have no memory, is only unconcerned with ordinary matters. But when it comes to cultivation, it’s probably a different story.
Otherwise, his formidable strength didn’t come from nowhere.
Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. Whether this Jun Jiuyou was pretending to be mad or foolish, or if he was truly that way, it had nothing to do with him.
"Brother Jun, I still don’t know how you got so badly injured. With just those Black Mountain Five Masters, they shouldn’t be able to do anything to you, right?"
Ling Feng glanced at Jun Jiuyou and casually asked.
"With just them? Hmph!"
Jun Jiuyou’s entire aura shifted, a glint of cold flashed in his eyes, "If I hadn’t been heavily injured in the Taihua Immortal Palace, how would I have fallen for those scoundrels’ tricks!"
"With Brother Jun’s strength, it seems you ran into big trouble?"
"Indeed big trouble."
Jun Jiuyou looked at Ling Feng, pondered for a moment, then continued, "Forget it, since Brother Ling saved my life, I won’t keep it hidden!"
Taking a deep breath, Jun Jiuyou slowly said, "Actually, I was injured so severely in order to obtain the Timeless Spring!"
"Timeless Spring!"
Ling Feng’s eyelids flickered, and he suddenly stood up.
This was one of the treasures he had been seeking all along.
Ling Hanyang once said that to save Tuoba Yan, besides using the Netherworld Fruit to reshape her body, the Timeless Spring was also needed to break the lifespan limit for her. Otherwise, according to the fate of the Sky Strategy Clan, even reaching the Saint Realm or Ancestor Realm, it would be hard to live beyond fifty years, becoming senile and dying.
Ling Feng had always been searching for the Timeless Spring, but unfortunately, it seemed to exist only in legends, making it impossible to find.
Unexpectedly, in that Taihua Immortal Palace, there actually existed the Timeless Spring!
"Oh? Brother Ling, you’ve also heard of the Timeless Spring?"
Jun Jiuyou glanced at Ling Feng, a trace of vigilance appearing in his eyes.
The Timeless Spring was an exceedingly rare treasure. Even though Ling Feng had saved his life once, there was always the chance of greed, possibly leading to an attempt to seize it.
Ling Feng nodded solemnly, "Brother Jun, could you share some of the Timeless Spring with me? I’m willing to pay any price in exchange!"
"This..."
Jun Jiuyou furrowed his brows slightly, "Brother Ling, do you need the Timeless Spring for something? You saved my life, so I ought not to refuse your request, but the Timeless Spring is equally important to me!"
Pausing, Jun Jiuyou slowly said, "If Brother Ling needs a treasure to extend lifespan, the effect of the Timeless Spring on lifespan extension is negligible, at most increasing it by less than a hundred years. It should be ineffective for you, right?"
"As for maintaining youthful appearance, I think with your talent, Ling Feng, achieving such a realm at a young age, you should maintain this appearance for at least a thousand years, not needing to waste the Timeless Spring. And the young lady beside you, with Divine Race bloodline, is also not easy to age, not needing the Timeless Spring!"
Seeing Ling Feng continuously frowning, Jun Jiuyou gritted his teeth and said, "If you truly need it, I can return to the clan and find other Life Extension Pills or Youthful Appearance Pills to give you. What do you think?"
"Brother Jun misunderstood!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath and slowly said, "I need the Timeless Spring not for lifespan extension, nor for maintaining youthful appearance! I have a friend..."
Recalling Tuoba Yan’s figure in his mind, her Divine Soul Origin had been slumbering in the Heavenly Strategy Treasure for nearly half a year now.
Thinking of Tuoba Yan, a trace of guilt flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes.
If not for him, she wouldn’t have encountered such a situation. Perhaps she would still be in the East Spirit Immortal Pond, cultivating well with Hui Yue Saintess.
"My friend is constrained by destiny, regardless of her cultivation level, she only has a lifespan of less than fifty years. Only the Timeless Spring can solidify her body, slowing time’s flow on her, allowing her to continue cultivating for a few more hundred years, and hopefully finding a way to break destiny."
Ling Feng looked at Jun Jiuyou and bowed deeply, "So, no matter what, I hope Brother Jun can share some of the Timeless Spring with me! Thank you!"
"Sigh..."
Jun Jiuyou sighed deeply, "Brother Ling, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that the Timeless Spring I obtained is very limited, just a few drops! Moreover, I have my reasons for needing the Timeless Spring, sorry Brother Ling, I really can’t help."
"I wonder what Brother Jun needs the Timeless Spring for? Perhaps I have other methods!"
Ling Feng was still unwilling to give up. Having finally learned about the Timeless Spring, Ling Feng naturally didn’t want to let it go.
And the Taihua Immortal Palace, having now left the West Sword Domain, is once again wandering in the Endless Void, the next appearance is uncertain when.
"Well..."
Jun Jiuyou glanced at Ling Feng and slowly said, "Alright, this matter is actually a major secret of my Netherworld Divine Race. You’ve saved my life, so I’ll tell you!"
According to Jun Jiuyou’s narrative, Jun Jiuyou’s father, the current Clan Leader of the Netherworld Divine Race, being too eager in cultivation, ended up encountering deviation. Although the situation was eventually suppressed, his cultivation was continuously weakening.
Meanwhile, his lifespan also gradually reduced along with the weakening cultivation, if left untreated, he might not survive another ten years!
This situation couldn’t be changed by any life-extending elixir, as his vitality would just gradually dissipate over time.
Only the Timeless Spring could solidify the time on him, slowing the continuous decrease of his lifespan.
The reason Jun Jiuyou wanted to take the Timeless Spring back was to use its power to let his father live for another hundred years, hoping to find a solution.
"Within the Netherworld Divine Race, it’s not all harmonious shells, my father can refuse meetings with the excuse of secluded cultivation, but over time, it will eventually be exposed!"
Jun Jiuyou displayed a trace of solemnity, "Since his deviation, in just seven or eight years, his cultivation has declined from the Ninth Transition Realm Sixth Layer Peak to the Ninth Transition Realm First Layer. If it continues to decline, it will eventually drop below the Saint Level! If even the Power of Saint disappears, by that time, my ambitious uncles will threaten my father!"
Bear in mind, even with the Divine Race’s talent, it takes around five hundred to a thousand years to cultivate from the Ninth Transition Realm First Layer to the Ninth Transition Realm Sixth Layer.
And the cultivation acquired over such a long time, if lost in such a short time, is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
"And I, being inexperienced, am not yet qualified to succeed my father’s position!"
Jun Jiuyou sighed lightly, an apologetic look towards Ling Feng, "So, I really cannot give you the Timeless Spring!"
