Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System

In short, those who could awaken Telekinesis and evolve it held a distinct advantage in the cultivation world. Telekinesis wasn’t just for attacking and defending; it could also be used for Alchemy and Artifact Refining, making it an indispensable power for any cultivator.

The Black Book had made Chu Lingguang realize the importance of Telekinesis, how convenient it was for cultivation, and that it was even intrinsically linked to breakthroughs. Some people would spare no expense on Treasures of Heaven and Earth in their desperation to awaken it, only to fail in the end.

"Elder, I’ve finished the book."

Chu Lingguang called out toward the interior of the cave residence.

"What is Telekinesis?"

Elder Yang asked.

Chu Lingguang frowned. ’Telekinesis is a power awakened from the Sea of Consciousness, capable of resonating with the Five Elements Power, and it plays a vital role in Alchemy and Artifact Refining.’

But given how Elder Yang posed the question, that textbook answer surely wouldn’t suffice.

After some thought, Chu Lingguang had a bold idea. He released a wave of his Telekinesis, spreading it into the cave residence.

The cave residence was deep.

It was opulent.

Abundant with Spiritual Power, it was a perfect place for cultivation.

Chu Lingguang sensed a powerful aura within. The person was dressed in red, but just as he was about to get a clear look at their figure...

"Hmph!"

The person let out a cold snort.

Chu Lingguang felt as if he’d been punched squarely in the head. His ears rang, and he collapsed onto the table, unable to stop himself, groaning as he clutched his head.

That cold snort was like a tangible blast of Telekinesis that had slammed into his mind.

"Cultivating Telekinesis requires not only talent but a hundred times more effort than ordinary people put in. Your Telekinesis level is decent, but merely decent. If you want it to have real power, to be able to kill those at a higher level than you, you must not only know how to use it but also how to strengthen it."

Elder Yang said.

"Please enlighten me, Elder."

Chu Lingguang said respectfully.

"First, understand how to strengthen your Telekinesis. Only then can you learn how to use it."

said Elder Yang.

"Yes."

Chu Lingguang nodded.

He couldn’t help but glance at the table.

Sure enough, the Black Book had vanished. In its place on the table was a red-covered book. Emblazoned on it were three eye-catching words: *Telekinesis Evolution Method*.

He eagerly picked it up and began to read.

Although the contents were obscure and difficult to understand, he was in luck. He had previously obtained a beginner’s Telekinesis cultivation method through his Favors. Even though it was just a beginner’s method, it still fell under the category of Telekinesis evolution.

With that foundation, Chu Lingguang was actually able to understand the text.

According to the Black Book, his Telekinesis was at the third-tier level.

Beyond simple attacks and defenses, it wasn’t particularly useful to most cultivators. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been in such a panic when he faced Chen Liang.

If Zhou Changqing hadn’t helped him resonate with Gold Spiritual Power at the critical moment, creating a tempest within his Telekinesis, he would likely have died at Chen Liang’s hands.

This *Telekinesis Evolution Method* could perfectly fill that gap for him. It would not only allow his Telekinesis to transform but also enable it to resonate more effectively with his Gold Spiritual Power once it was strengthened.

unleashing far greater offensive and defensive capabilities.

"Thank you, Elder Yang."

Chu Lingguang bowed toward the depths of the cave.

He tucked the *Telekinesis Evolution Method* into his robes and turned to leave, but an invisible barrier blocked his path.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Elder Yang asked.

"I wish to return to my quarters to cultivate,"

Chu Lingguang explained.

"You will cultivate here. You can leave when I say you can leave."

Elder Yang stated.

"My master is waiting for me down the mountain. I need to go back and let him know I’m alright."

Chu Lingguang said.

"You may leave here when your Telekinesis has advanced to the fourth tier."

Elder Yang declared.

"And another thing. From this day forward, *I* am your master."

Elder Yang added.

"Er... Elder, if you wish to..."

SLAP!

Chu Lingguang tried to explain.

But a Palm Seal made of Telekinesis materialized out of thin air and smacked him to the ground.

"Within the Profound Celestial Sect, you have only one master: me."

Elder Yang warned.

Chu Lingguang spat out a mouthful of blood and looked toward the depths of the cave. Wiping the blood from his mouth, he stood up and said respectfully, "Master, I am eternally grateful that you have bestowed the *Telekinesis Evolution Method* upon me. However, I came here from the Celestial Sea Continent, following my master from the secular world. He is also cultivating here in the Profound Celestial Sect. I was brought here so suddenly by Steward Zhou; if I don’t return, he will surely worry. Please allow me to go back and report to him. I will return immediately after I’m done."

"A piece of trash from the secular world is fit to be your master? Are you looking down on me?"

Elder Yang demanded.

"No, I wouldn’t dare! But I owe my master an immeasurable debt. I wouldn’t be here today without him. Please, Elder, let me go back and inform him."

Chu Lingguang said, hastily dropping to his knees.

’The red-robed figure in the cave was hot-tempered and unreasonable. He had no choice but to swallow his pride and try to compromise. He hoped his devotion to Guo Wei would move the elder. After all, if this person wanted him as a disciple, surely they would want a disciple who was respectful and loyal—someone who would defend them just as he was defending Guo Wei.’

"From now on, no one can be your master but me. The word ’Master’ is a title you will use only for me. Otherwise..." Elder Yang paused. "BOOM. I’ll have that so-called master of yours reduced to dust."

Elder Yang threatened.

As the threat was made, a wave of Telekinesis surged from the depths of the cave.

A stone stool beside Chu Lingguang was instantly crushed into fine powder, which sprayed across his face.

Chu Lingguang froze, momentarily unsure of what to do.

’This person was so extreme. They might actually bring disaster upon Guo Wei.’

’Even if he agreed now, any future displeasure could cause them to fly into a rage and kill Guo Wei anyway.’

’He realized he was dealing with a lunatic.’

’A completely unreasonable lunatic.’

"Do you understand me?"

Elder Yang asked.

Chu Lingguang slowly rose to his feet. After a long hesitation, he summoned his courage and asked, "Do you want a disciple who respects his master and honors his teachings, or one who is an ungrateful, treacherous villain?"

"Insolent!"

Another wave of Telekinesis swept out.

It sent Chu Lingguang flying.

Chu Lingguang crashed into the stone table, knocking it over. It felt like he’d been kicked by a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, and he could barely breathe. Through his blurred vision, he could faintly make out a hot-tempered, red-robed figure pacing back and forth in the depths of the cave.

Forcing his body upright, he declared, "I owe my master an immeasurable debt, and I will not betray him! If you’re going to kill him, then you’ll have to kill me first!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Chu Lingguang shot up from the ground, his Flying Sword in hand and poised to strike. ’The more unreasonable this person is, the less I can afford to back down,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, even if I compromise now, they’ll just cause trouble for me or Guo Wei later whenever they feel like it.’

’He couldn’t just sever all ties with Guo Wei and pretend not to know him if they met in the future!’

"You aren’t afraid to die?"

Elder Yang inquired.

A blood-red light erupted from the cave, soaring into the sky.

Cultivators on the Martial Arts Arena looked up and saw a beam of blood-red light shooting out from a spot on one of the Profound Celestial Sect’s towering mountains.

"This is bad. Chu Lingguang is in for it now."

Zhou Changqing looked up. A moment ago, he had been envious that Chu Lingguang would be cultivating under Elder Yang, but now, he suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for him.

"Afraid? Of course I’m afraid. But I’m even more afraid that if I yield to you now, you’ll just use my master to threaten me in the future!"

Chu Lingguang roared.

"Is some guy from the secular world really worth all this devotion?"

Elder Yang asked again.

"Of course he is."

Chu Lingguang replied without a hint of hesitation.

"What if I were to pass on my entire legacy to you, on the condition that you kill that secular master of yours? Would you be willing?"

"You’d have to kill me first."

"Oh."

The blood-red light within the cave intensified.

A figure shrouded in crimson light gradually came into Chu Lingguang’s view.

Chu Lingguang’s solemn expression slowly gave way to stunned disbelief. The person before him had a powerful, resonant voice that sounded just like a man’s, yet he never would have expected her to be a voluptuous and stunningly beautiful woman.

He was utterly dumbfounded.

It felt as if he had stepped into yet another illusion.

"So you do have a conscience. I won’t harm your secular master. I will have Zhou Changqing inform him that you are with me. But the rules haven’t changed. You may not leave this cave residence until you have raised your Telekinesis to the fourth tier."

Yang Rong said.
