Ch 59: Injuries and Evacuation

*Groan*

The first thing that Yang Feng noted as he opened his eyes was, his body hurt like hell! As the memories of the complete encounter passed through his mind, he laid there groaning in pain.

After he remembered everything and his eyes came into focus, he looked at the familiar looking ceiling of his room back in the sect.

"Your finally awake.", when he heard the voice, he was happy and turned to face her. In front of him sat Su Yan, it was than that he noticed that her eyes were a bit moist and filled with worry.

Ignoring the constant pain in his body, he smiled and tried to sit up. Su Yan seeing this also helped his sit up against the headrest of his bed. After having positioned himself, he ideally noted that nearly his whole body was wrapped in bandages, but ignoring that he took hold of her hand.

He could see that she was worried and also felt her fear and worry from their bond. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

That one sentence seems to have broken something in her as she yelled at him, "FINE!? Your FINE! Do you know how serious your injuries are!, do you know how afraid I was!, do you know how miserable I felt when I saw your condition!"

Yang Feng cringed inside at her anger, he hadn't seen her this angry EVER. But he didn't say anything as he knew he was in the wrong. He simply pulled her towards him, which she didn't resist even now that she was angry.

Hugging her close to himself, he said, "I know it's my fault for making you worry, for that I'm sorry. But I'm alive am I not?", to this she didn't say anything for a few minutes as she hugged him for dear life and placed her head on his chest.

After a few minutes, he felt her nod slightly into his chest. For the next hour, they just sat there as they hugged each other as Yang Feng consoled her. Although she was a cold beauty, that was only for others. To him, and recently Xia Ning Chang, she was the person with the biggest and softest heart.

After she had calmed down, he asked her how things were in the sect. As he asked this, she sighed and started telling him everything that had happened and the results of the attack. Only after hearing from her did he realize that things were worse than he had imagined.

Suddenly something occurred to him and he swiftly asked, "How long have I been unconscious?". "10 days", hearing that Yang Feng went silent, 'well, if I was unconscious for that long then it kind of makes sense that things were worse than they should be *sigh* but first things first.'

"Su Yan, take this bottle with you and make the sect master drink one drop from it, it should heal him. There are a total of three drops in it, tell him to completely heal with them but not to take the other two at once." Yang Feng said as he handed a small bottle that contained three drops of Myriad Drug Milk.

Su Yan hearing this was stunned for a bit and asked him, "Junior Brother, what is this?", she asked him as she looked at the contents of the bottle. She could feel a great amount of energy emitting from the substance. It was so great that she wasn't sure the current her could absorb more than one drop herself.

"It's something I gained while outside. It's called Myriad Drug Milk. It's a Saint Grade resource and can be used for healing, cultivating and even pill refining.", hearing his words, she was again surprised that these drops of milk were a Saint Grade resource. But she didn't ask further about them and said.

"I'll go, you should heal yourself as well, if you need anything just let me know.", she said as she kissed him on the cheek and left as he nodded at her words.

After she left, Yang Feng let out a sigh looking at his bandaged body. He then used his divine sense and went through his injuries. What he found was not pleasant.

"F*ck! That damn, whoever or whatever you are just wait till I come back and skin to alive!, you *#&$&%&....", after cursing for a few minutes he calmed down a little. His condition although not too bad, wasn't any good either.

His dantian had been sucked dry in the battle and after he escaped by forcing himself, his already near dry reserves were overdrafted and the result of that was that his dantian were now cracked in place. The good new of this was that although they showed creaks, he could still use Qi and cultivate, which means that he could also heal himself as well.

Next was his Soul, which because of the burden he placed on it before to extend the reach of his void steps, made his knowledge sea near fully drained. The good thing was that his Soul was already equal to a Transendant so it didn't suffer like his dantian. He also had the cheat Soul Warming Lotus which had already healed most of his Soul injuries.

As for his body, it suffered the most. Although the wounds have healed, there were still hidden injuries in his body that would hinder his strength and would irrupt when he will try to use even a little more strength than a certain limit. After his observation, unless all of his injuries are healed, his body strength might remain weakened, which right now to his estimate was peak Separation and Reunion Realm.

Another thing he found was something that he didn't think would happen or would effect him, from what he knew from the original. "Well, this is a real world, obviously there would be things that wouldn't quite match or must have been missed."

The thing was, by overexerting himself in his attempt at fleeing, he had burned up his lifespan a little and because of the hidden injuries of his body, more of his life span has been temporarily reduced, unless he fixes his body.

'I never really focused on lifespan since I started cultivating, but from what I know I think I have a basic understanding of how the lifespan distribution works.'

According to his calculations, he had the maximum 210 years of lifespan from his Qi cultivation, 600 years lifespan because of his Body Cultivation, and 400 more years from his Chaos physique that would increase with every increase in his cultivation, with the grand total of 1210 years.

It was at this moment that he realized that he could basically live beyond 1000 years. 'Nevermind that, it's a small thing and my goal is to be an immortal. From what I can tell, when escaping before I had permanently burnt off about 100 years of my total lifespan and because of my hidden injuries 200 more years have been temporarily lost, till I completely heal. So ..... I still have more or less twice the lifespan of a Transendant Realm cultivator.'

{A-Note: more details in the axillary Chapter 'Lifespan Distribution.'}

But that wasn't his main focus, the main reason of his worry was his decreased strength. All in all, Yang Feng felt that in his current state, he wouldn't even be able to fight someone at the middle ranks of True Element Realm, much less an immortal ascension realm cultivator.

*Sighhh* letting out a long sigh, Yang Feng sat down cross legged and drank two drops of Myriad Drug Liquid to try and heal himself. He used the Spirit Grade Liquid and not the Saint Grade Milk because in his current state, it would be more disastrous than helpful as his injured body wouldn't be able to handle the energy in it.

For the next three days Yang Feng focused on healing from his injuries without much brake, except for spending some time with Su Yan, during which he had given her a bottle filled with Myriad Drug Milk and two filled with Myriad Drug Liquid. He was in a hurry to heal as much as he can because he knew that the sect would be attacked by Qiu family at anytime.

During this time, Su Yan told him that the sect master had healed and told her to extend his gratitude to him, also informing her the he might break through to the next realm.

Yang Feng had just smiled at the information as this was his purpose all along. Previously he didn't have a method to heal Ling Taixu before as he couldn't refine a spirit grade pill without ingredients, much less a saint grade one to heal him in one go. Plus by giving him the milk, he was certain he would breakthrough within 2-3 days.

As Yang Feng was still working on his injuries in his cabin, he suddenly stopped and went outside. In the last three days he had mostly healed his maridian and now there weren't any cracks on it now. The same however couldn't be said about his body as although the pain he felt had subdued, his strength was still the same.

He felt a a sudden surge in Qi around the backside of a mountain in the sect, the place where Ling Taixu lived.

As Yang Feng continued to look towards the place, he saw black clouds form in the sky above that place. 'So grandmaster chose to breakthrough now huh.'

He continued to stand there as the tribulation began. Soon the tribulation ended and the world energy rushed there. 'looks like he succeded.', Yang Feng thought smilingly.

After standing there for a few minutes, just as he was about to return to heal himself, he received a voice transmission from Ling Taixu to meet him at his dwelling. Yang Feng after hearing it flew towards the mountain backside, where Ling Taixu lived.

As he reached there, he saw Ling Taixu standing near a cliff from where it was possible to see the entire sect. Yang Feng approached him and stood two steps behind him, "Greetings Grandmaster, what did you call me here for?", he asked a bit curiously.

Ling Taixu slightly shook his head and looked towards him, "Little Su Yan told me that you were severely injured, how are you holding up?", Ling Taixu didn't answer his Question but asked him one himself. "I'm fine now, but *Sigh* I can't use all my strength right now and could barely be able to fight a first stage Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivator as not all of my injuries haven't healed .... Well that aside, congratulation Grandmaster for your breakthrough."

Ling Taixu hummed a bit at first and shook his head while saying, "This old man was only able to breakthrough because of your help, if you didn't give me that Myriad Drug Milk of yours ... I would have died by now ... On that note you shouldn't have given all those to me, even one was already more than enough for my healing, and should have used them to heal yourself."

"You don't need to thank me Grandmaster, I still have some with me but I can't use it right now because the energy in them is too much for my injured body and if I forcefully heal them, some hidden injuries might remain, plus I had been focusing on my other injuries, which have mostly healed ... *Chuckle* not to mention, my old man would kill me if I let something happen to you."

Yang Feng told him and cracked a joke at the end as both knew Yang Ying Feng won't do anything like that, but he would surely be depressed and in pain of his master's passing.

"*Haah* Little Feng, go and gather everyone in the sect. Take them to the array and go away.", after coming out of his reminiscing, Ling Taixu ordered Yang Feng while throwing a token towards him.

Hearing his words and how he continued to look towards a certain direction, Yang Feng knew what was coming. After sighing, he asked, "what about you, Grandmaster?". "I'll stay behind to cover for you all.", Yang Feng went silent and nodded after a few seconds, turning around to leave.

Within an hour, all the remaining members of the sect were waiting besides the Destitute Dragon Revine. After Yang Bai's attack many have left the sect and now the population was barely a hundred people.

When the elders arrived and asked Yang Feng about the situation, who was standing with Su Yan, Yang Feng told them the conversation he had with the sect master. After debating, the elders decided to stay with the sect master.

Descending the canyon, Yang Feng with the sect elders reached the space array. "What is this, Martial Nephew Yang?", asked the great elder as they all, except Yang Feng and Su Yan, looked curiously at the array.

"It's a space array made by the sect ancestor to be used in case of emergency. It can allow people to transverse ten thousand miles in an instant ... I will need several elders help in opening the array."

Nodding to Yang Feng they all started to channel their Qi into the array, along with both Yang Feng and Su Yan. After a minute the space array was charged to the fullest as a wormhole opened. Everyone who could fly amongst the desciples helped the elders in taking the other who couldn't fly to the wormhole and the remains of the sect started to evacuate.

It was a few minutes in when everyone felt some disturbance in the distance. The elders told Yang Feng to complete the evacuation with the deacons as they went towards the disturbance, which was from a battle, to assist the sect master.

Within ten minutes time, nearly everyone had evacuated and only the deacons, Yang Feng and Su Yan were remaining. As the deacons passed the portal, Yang Feng suddenly turned around and blocked an attack that went towards the wormhole, causing him to be pushed back a little.

'still couldn't make it.', he turned his head to the direction from where the attack came and sent a message to Su Yan, <Su Yan go through the wormhole, I'll close it after I>, seeing that she was about to argue, he continued.

<Don't argue, You have to remain with the desciples help them ... Besides, you know they can't really do anything me, even in my weakened state Go, and if something unexpected happens, don't worry about me. would be able feel presence wherever I am, same for okay.>

Su Yan although still looked annoyed a bit, sighed and entered the portal, not before sending a message to him that brought a smile on his face. <Take care of yourself, if you dare die on me, I'll kill myself after reviving you.>, Yang Feng thought with a sweat drop 'Well considering our situation, she could do that.'

As she went inside the portal, Yang Feng stopped the barrage of attacks suddenly thrown towards him and the wormhole, and looked at the group that suddenly appeared in the place he was looking at.
