Cultivating day and night, Zou Feng managed to fuse the Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force into his Abyssal Vortex Cyclone Art in just three days.
Moreover, since Zou Feng had cultivated the Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force to near its apex, the Abyssal Vortex Cyclone Art naturally underwent a corresponding transformation upon successful fusion.
"Abyssal Vortex Prison-Suppressing Force (Great Success), Progress: 7%"
Zou Feng wasn’t surprised that the Cultivation Skill’s name had changed, nor that it had immediately reached the Great Success Realm upon fusion.
After all, he had cultivated the original Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force to the Realm of Transcendence and Sanctity, so it was only natural for it to transform the Abyssal Vortex Cyclone Art.
Seeing the fusion was a success and its effects were significant, Zou Feng decided not to continue for the time being.
Jiang Wanzhao’s birthday banquet was tomorrow, and he needed to prepare for it.
After halting his cultivation, Zou Feng didn’t forget to check the List of Gods.
He was curious about the current state of the number-one ranked person on the list, Mu Wanrou.
Huh?
One glance, however, left Zou Feng completely baffled.
He had thought his meddling would surely cause Mu Wanrou to fail her Foundation Establishment, or even perish entirely.
But to his surprise, the light radiating from Mu Wanrou’s name on the List of Gods was now significantly brighter than before.
Normally, only the names of experts in the Dao Foundation Realm shone with such brilliance.
’What the hell? After being ravaged by the Fusion Skill’s side effects, Mu Wanrou actually bounced back even stronger!?’
’Judging by her state, don’t tell me she’s already forged a Celestial Tier Dao Foundation...’
The more Zou Feng thought about it, the more absurd it seemed, and the more exasperated he became.
But the facts were laid out before him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.
’On second thought, everything has two sides. It’s possible that while tormenting a person, certain side effects could also lead to a blessing in disguise, allowing them to comprehend something new.’
So he couldn’t rule out the possibility that Mu Wanrou had comprehended some profound truth from within that endless vortex.
And in doing so, she could have reversed the side effects and used the opportunity to forge a Celestial Tier Dao Foundation.
If that were true, the situation couldn’t be more awkward.
But Zou Feng refused to accept it. He immediately took out his Token and found someone to ask about Mu Wanrou’s current situation.
With his current fame and potential, he didn’t even need to actively cultivate connections; people were naturally willing to help him.
After a few inquiries, he learned that Mu Wanrou was in seclusion on the sect’s Sun and Moon Peak, making her second attempt to break through to the Dao Foundation Realm. She had not yet emerged.
He could find this information so easily because no one within the Immortal Sect dared to cause trouble under the surveillance of the Celestial Dao Cauldron.
Therefore, Mu Wanrou had no need to be secretive about her seclusion location.
’She hasn’t emerged yet?’
Upon learning this, Zou Feng felt he shouldn’t jump to conclusions so soon.
After all, if Mu Wanrou had truly forged a Celestial Tier Dao Foundation, she would have announced it to the world immediately instead of remaining in seclusion.
Seeing Mu Wanrou’s name on the List of Gods growing brighter and brighter, to the point where it was practically spinning on the list, Zou Feng simply stood up and prepared to head to the vicinity of Sun and Moon Peak to take a look.
As for preparing the gift for Jiang Wanzhao’s birthday banquet, he left that task to Teng County.
Of course, Zou Feng wasn’t foolish enough to go to Sun and Moon Peak to interfere with Mu Wanrou’s Foundation Establishment. In fact, even if he weren’t afraid of death, he wouldn’t be able to interfere.
The Celestial Dao Cauldron was no fool; it would definitely pay extra attention to any disciple undergoing Foundation Establishment.
Zou Feng just wanted to see what exactly was happening to her, all while maintaining a safe distance.
Before long, Zou Feng arrived at the foot of Sun and Moon Peak.
Sun and Moon Peak had a unique environment, having been specially crafted by a mighty expert of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. It was said that staying there allowed one to absorb the essence of the sun and moon.
It was, in itself, one of the best places for seclusion within the Immortal Sect.
Of course, one had to pay to enter, and just like the Demon Suppression Tower, it charged by the hour.
Zou Feng certainly wasn’t going to go inside. If something really did happen to Mu Wanrou, it would only cast suspicion on him.
So he just found a towering tree nearby, leaped up into its branches, and observed quietly.
As expected, he couldn’t see a thing.
The summit of Sun and Moon Peak was shrouded in a special layer of clouds and mist, its true form impossible to discern.
But Zou Feng was unwilling to leave just yet. He settled down on a treetop to meditate and cultivate, deciding to wait a little longer.
He had to confirm whether transferring his side effects could truly result in a blessing in disguise for the top-ranked cultivators...
He waited for four hours.
On the List of Gods, Mu Wanrou’s name grew increasingly brighter and actually began to spin continuously.
Every time Zou Feng looked at the name, he felt as if his very soul was being drawn into an endless vortex.
’This is just too bizarre...’
His questions unanswered, Zou Feng was practically dying of curiosity, but he couldn’t just keep waiting there forever.
Seeing that it was almost evening, Zou Feng had no choice but to prepare to leave for the time being.
But just as he was about to go, a crazed, ecstatic laugh echoed from the summit of Sun and Moon Peak.
"AHAHAHA—"
"I did it! I succeeded!"
"A Celestial Tier Dao Foundation is nothing special after all!"
The voice was incredibly piercing, reaching up to the heavens. It could be heard clearly for dozens of miles in every direction.
Zou Feng had heard that voice before. Who else could it be but Mu Wanrou...
For even a casual shout to travel so far... Zou Feng’s heart sank.
’This was galling. He had clearly tried to sabotage her, but instead, he’d helped her forge a Celestial Tier Dao Foundation?’
’With an enemy at the Celestial Tier Dao Foundation, leaving the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect in the future would be extremely inconvenient and require even more caution...’
His vexation didn’t last long, however. If the side effects of the Abyssal Vortex Prison-Suppressing Force could actually benefit Mu Wanrou, then in the future, he’d just have to make sure she wasn’t ranked number one when he cultivated the Skill.
